30 Chap 27

Meanwhile, Scarlett went to the library, there she went to meet with Madam Pince.

"Hmm…hello madam Pince…" said Scarlett with a low voice.

Madam Pince looked at her with a frown and said to Scarlett to go and seat in a desk behind her. Scarlett went to her seat and just stayed there. After a while, she couldn't take anymore since she has arrived to do her punishment, she didn't do or say anything.

"Huh…Should I do something?" thought Scarlett while she looked at the librarian which was just in her secretary. After a long wait, Madam Pince finally told Scarlett to come with her. It seems it was time to start putting in order all the books that were used by the students. It wasn't a very hard job to do since with simple magic you could put them where they belong. The only thing you need to pay attention was to check if they were in the right place. Madam Pince gave a section for Scarlett to check if the books were in place. After finishing she went to report to Madam Pince.

"I'm finished checking the books," said Scarlett to Madam Pince.

"You took your time; I hope that this was an exception" scoffed Madam Pince while Scarlett just shrugged her shoulders.

After while Scarlett got the courage to ask about the forbidden library.

"Huh…Ms Pince, should we go and check the forbidden library? We had a few older students with permissions to go there."

"You don't have to concern about that, I already took care of everything. You should get going, for today you are done" replied Madam Pince with a frown look.

On the other hand, Drake was still writing his report with Mr Filch always paying attention to him until.

"You stinky brat, I need to go somewhere, don't you dare to move from that place and if you try to steal something from here, I will know!" said Mr Filch to Drake.

"Don't worry Mr Fish," said Drake with an innocent look on his face. But only he knew how happy he was to be here without Mr Filch. Drake had a way to take things thought the hat. He remembers hearing the twins talking about how this place was golden mine with forbidden and strange objects collected by Mr Filch through the years.

(AN: I'm assuming that the office is also the place where he sleeps so there probably a simple bedroom in it)

This was also one of the objectives of Drake to explore the office and the cabinets. After all, Mr Filch was a caretaker since 1968. And he could also check for something about the Jacob sibling and the other students from last decade.

As Mr Filch walked way, Drake started to look at the cabinets. One of the biggest ones was the cabinet with the twin's names on it and they are only in the second year. Drake also saw his name in one of the cabinets with other names in it. There was a note saying most of the items confiscated this year were smuggled from outside and that he was the main suspect.

"Damn…the stinky Fish is not dumb…but he doesn't have any evidence" thought Drake to himself.

Drake looked for while in several cabinets with a lot of names but none of them was important until he went to the cabinet with all the confiscated items. This cabinet had the extension charm and when Drake looked inside of it, he saw a lot of forbidden objects. He also found that not all objects were forbidden and there were a few rare ones, probably the stink Mr Fish didn't know their use. Nevertheless, Drake had most of them and didn't need them.

"The twins already took the best item with them," thought Drake.

As Drake was searching in the cabinet, he started to remember all the clues that Jacob sibling had found in the four vaults. All the vaults had some clue which was related to the other vaults but in the last vault, there was nothing written about it except for that Jacob was trapped there.

"Oh! What we have here, this seems to be an egg?! But why did that old hag confiscate this?!" As Drake was looking for something interesting, he found a completely black oval stone. He went to grab it; he could feel that was a tiny life force coming from inside of it.

"Well, I should take this and examine better and if I can't find anything about it, ill write another letter to his uncle Newt" talked Drake to no one.

Drake searched more and went to the small desk to finish the report. Drake finished sitting when Mr Filch came and told him it was time for dinner in a very angry and rude manner.

"Hehehehe! If you are in bad mood that's mean you got pranked by Peeves" said Drake with a mocking tone.

"Shut it brat, tomorrow you will work with me in cleaning the mess that half ghosts make! Let's see if you are going to be so happy you stinky brat" replied Mr Filch.

After a brief exchange of words between them, Drake went to the Great Hall. When he arrived there, he saw Katie talking with her friends in the Gryffindor table and Cho doing the same. Drake also saw the twins and went up to meet them first.

"Hey, ginger twins heads! How are you two?" asked Drake after arriving near them. The student who was with the twin looked at him with small frowns, but they didn't say anything.

"Hey Drake, we are good and you?" replied George with a smile followed by Fred

"I'm good too, I have been all weekend looking for you two," said Drake while also mentioning to the twin to come with him to a more out of sight place.

After Drake got alone with the twin, he started to talk with them.

"We had an urgent meeting on the weekend since I and Scarlett are being punished by the headmaster. I need to go with Mr Fish and Scarlett with the Madam Pince after finishing the classes. We may have something to do with the angry noise during the weekend."

"Damn! You are in all of them!" said Fred laughing.

"True! So, are we going to change things, or everything is cool?!" asked George.

"Everything is cool, on Wednesday we will be dispensed so we can go and search for clues although I have a few ideas to talk about it. Also, did you receive any letters from your brother?"

"Nope, he didn't send us anything we only received a letter from our mother. Also, this weekend we were in detention too" answered Fred.

"Okay" replied Drake.

"By the way, today in your detention did you go to Mr Filch office Hehehehe?" asked George with a smirk on his face.

"Yes but didn't see anything that I didn't have" answered Drake hiding the stone-like egg that he found since he didn't know much about it.

"Well, that's sucks after all we have the marauders map with us hehehe! but if you can bring some of our confiscated items, we would appreciate it," said George with a smirk.

"Okay, I will see what I can do," said Drake,

They talked a little more until the twins went to their friends and Drake sat by Katie side. By this time, he also saw that Scarlett was in the Slytherin table too.

"Hey Drake, how was your detention?" asked Katie giggling when she saw him sitting.

"It was boring, but I did some interesting things" answered Drake.

The food started to come, and Drake told her everything that happened when he was in detention except for the object he took. They talked until the finished eating and then went to grab Scarlett and went to the Ravenclaw table to meet Cho.

"So, how was your detention?" asked Cho to Drake and Scarlett.

"Well, mine it was boring since I didn't get to go to the forbidden area and all the book, I had to put it in place were normal books" replied Scarlett with a little downcast face.

"Well that would be normal since madam Pince wouldn't let you do that task on the first day, maybe if you get her trust," said Cho to her followed by a nod from Drake.

Drake also talked about his experience except for what he took from the cabinet to Scarlett and Cho. Drake would only tell them when they were alone and not in the middle of the Great Hall full of students.
