Chapter 14

The next day dragged on, but at least I haven't got DADA. I really dislike that teacher, I don't understand how he got the job. Anyway apart from that and astronomy, I like all the other classes. As soon as the last class ends, we run straight to the kitchen and grab some food. The house elf's were as nice as always, gave us a lot of food.

We made our way to the seventh floor, and make it to the place.

"So if I remember correctly, I walk passed this wall four times before I saw the door." I say, remembering what happened last night. "So maybe we have to walk by it four times?"

"You said you saw it when you passed the fourth time, so it might only be three times." Luna said, with her usual smile.

So I walk passed the wall, and nothing happened.

"Are you sure it was here?" Ginny asked, looking around.

"I am, it was definitely here, look that's the strange tapestry I told you about." I said, pointing to opposite wall.

"Maybe you have to think of what the room is?" Luna said.

"So just think of a place to train and experiment?" I asked, looking at Luna.

"Yes, why not try, can't hurt can it." She replied.

So I do as she suggested, and it worked. I open the door and see a big room, with tons of books and supply's.

"Let's get started." I say, picking up some books.

And we did, every day after lessons, we hold ourselves up in the room. We learned more from the books then we did in class. I came up with an idea, I thought about a book of eye ability's, but sadly nothing appeared. I'll have to send an owl to mum, I need to know more about my eyes.

A week later a notice appeared about a duelling club, I look and see a name I don't know.

"Who's Professor Lockhart?" I ask.

"Claire, that's the DADA teacher." Luna whispered in my ear.

"Oh that's his name, well I'm not going." I say, looking away from the board.

"Hey Claire, are you going to the quidditch match?" Ginny said, looking excited.

"Sure." I said, not really caring about quidditch, but it might be fun.

She then grabbed me and Luna, and dragged us to the Great Hall. We eat breakfast and she dragged us to the quidditch pitch. I think Ginny might be obsessed, well at least it isn't a bad thing, she's obsessed with. As we watched the match, a bludger kept going after Harry.

"That's not normal, is it?" I ask, looking as the bludger hit Harry's elbow.

"No, it's not." Ginny said, in a serious voice.

I use my eyes and see two different magic signatures, so looked at the other one and only saw one.

"Someone is controlling it." I say, softly so only Ginny and Luna, could hear me.

I look around and can't see anyone in the crowd using magic. So I turn my sight to the ground and see a strange magic.

"Whoever is controlling it is over there." I said, pointing to a place under the stands.

I start to make my way there, going through the stands. And we see a house elf. I use a petrify spell.

"Ginny is Dumbledore in the stands?" I ask, keeping my wand on the elf.

"No, he's not." She said, looking out.

Ok so I walk over and pick up the elf. I look at the girls and tell them to follow me. We take the elf to Dumbledore's office, and start talking about who's elf this was. As we were talking, we arrived at the gargoyle. I said the password and stepped on the stairs. Once the stairs reach the door, I knock and wait.

"Come in." We hear a voice, and I open the door.

"Professor, I found this elf tampering with a bludger, that was exclusively going after Harry Potter." I say, put the elf on the floor.

"Thank you Miss Black, Miss Weasley and Miss Lovegood. I'll deal with this, go and finish watching the match." He said, with a smile.
