Damien slowly opened the trap door, more dust floating up into the air, causing to cough once again. He set down the door gently, but the sound still causing a loud *bang.* He looked around to see that nobody was there. He wiped the sweat from his brow, not having previously even known it was there.

"Lumos," he whispered, the sound echoing in the room. The light suddenly shown extremely brightly. He pointed it and looked down. He saw the bottom. It was a plant, he couldn't tell. Well, you'll never know if you don't try, he thought as he hopped down the chute onto the Devil's Snare.

Geneve stepped forward, watching Damien disappear into the hold beneath the trap door. She dropped to her knees and looked down. Damien was sitting amidst a tangle of long vines. From the minimal light iluminating from Damien's wand, Geneve could see that the vines were moving, snaring Damien where he had landed. Geneve paniced and looked around the room, trying to find something to throw down to him to help him. She stepped into the hall and saw a suit of armor. The weapon it held was a long metal axe. Geneve grabbed it and started dragging it back into the room. She looked down at her hands and smiled; it really looked like the axe was moving by itself because even she couldn't see her own hands.

Damien tensed at first, realizing what he had landed on. But just as the vinesbegan to start going around him, he relaxed. He felt the Devil's Snare slack on him. He began sinking through, the vines just letting him slide by. Finally, he went all of the way through and plopped to the stone floor. Rubbing his buttocks, he began walking along the hall to the next room.

Nikolaus went through the opened door and was greeted by yet another long passage hall, adorned with rows of old rusted suits of armours. Then a sharp scraping sound was heard not far from where he stood. An axe was moving awkwardly by itself, as though an invisible hand was dragging the heavy weapon across the hall.

"More enchantments?" Nikolaus was not surprised, "so am I the audience? Where's the music and the dance?" he said, half-jokingly.
Then, as if the invisible hand had heard him, the axe dropped onto the floor abruptly with a loud clank.

Geneve looked up quickly, startled. Then she saw who had spoken. "Nikolaus!" She shouted. He didn't seem to hear her. She ran forward, not thinking, and when she tried to hug him, she passed right through him. She stared at her hands, and felt her heart start to ache with despair. She turned around and shouted again. "Nikolaus!!!" she cupped her hands around her mouth as if to amplify her voice. No good. She looked from side to side, and then she remembered. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the message parchment. She pulled out the pencil she had used earlier, crouched onto the stone floor and wrote quickly, "I'm right behind you! Help me!" Then she paused, and wrote more. "Damien is in trouble too."

Nikolaus turned around and crossed his elbows together, looking rather disgruntled.
"What have you gotten into... again?" he said to Geneve, trying not to sound too harsh.

Upon hearing his words, her tears began to trickle once more. Nikolaus was right, she had been nothing but trouble for him ever since the first instant they met. Although he was unable to see her crying face, Nikolaus probably sensed he had made her sad.

A disillusion charm but knotty one I see," he rumbled on, "maybe a revealing charm might work..."
"Aperio!" Nikolaus said as he waved his wand in an elaborate fashion. Yellow sparks flew out and started to surround an empty spot like butterflies around a flower, where the unseen Geneve stood. However, when the sparks faded away, nothing was revealed. Geneve remained invisible. Nikolaus took a deep breath and let in out in a long sigh.

"I'm sorry I said those..." he paused a while, "but if you desire to be back to normal, you got to mean it. Don't let your fear overcome you. We'll try it when you are ready."

Geneve hated herself for being so weak. The amount of tears she shed for the past week was enough to cover her whole year. Forcing herself to stop the flow, she made a steadfast decision not to ever again cry in the name of weakness. She grabbed the pencil and wrote on the parchment hastily. "I'm ready."

Geneve felt as though she were stepping out a tight shell around her body. She took a step forward, feeling the air in her luhgs get pressed out as she passed through the veil she had been trapped behind. She fell forward, as if had fallen off a step, and collapsed onto Nikolaus's feet. She reached up, groping for something to pull herself up, and found that Nikolaus was pulling her up. He held her by her arms and Geneve turned her face up to his. He was smiling broadly. "I can see you. Well done!" he said, and kissed her enthusiastically on the forhead and embrassed her in a bone crushing hug. She exhailed quickly, but put her arms around Nikolaus and hugged him back, and a thrill went through her that she could actually touch something!

"Alright, now that everything's back to normal," Nikolaus looked around, "It's getting late... now run along to your classes, before anyone will notice you're missing."

Geneve looked embarrassed as she released her hug. "Drats, my next lesson is the Defence Against the Dark Arts!" she added, looking petrified. Nikolaus chuckled upon seeing her reaction.

"Well, she would be indeed mad to discover one of her students missing from her class..."

"Ahhh... I'm off now... " Geneve tumbled out hurriedly. Then she abruptly stopped halfway and came rushing back towards Nikolaus. "Oh no, I almost forgot," she panted, "...Damien... he was looking for me and he went down the trapdoor with vines wrapping around him! You gotta help him! Hurry!" Geneve said, pulling Nikolaus towards the trapdoor. She showed him but was startled to see no one down in the thick growth. "But he was just there a moment ago!" Geneve said worriedly. Upon seeing her distraught look, Nikolaus assured her, "Don't worry, I'll help look for him... but you can't stay here any longer... if Valencia was to find out you went missing, things could get a little rougher." He made the promise despite being reluctant especially when it had to do with Damien.

With the promise, Geneve then hurried out as soon, disappeared from sight. Nikolaus shook his head as he took the plunge downward. What am I getting myself into?

The very first Damien noticed in the next hall was that, unlike the rest of the castle except for the chamber above him, it was not lit by torches. He raised his wand even higher, trying to illuminate the hall as much as possible, when he realized that while they were not lit, there were torches along the walls. He walked up to it, the sea of dust around him, ankle deep, was kicked up even more around him, put did not reach much higher than his knees. He aimed his wand at the torch, and said quietly, "Incendio." The torch lit up, and through some irreversible magic placed upon the torches, they all lit up.

"Handy," he thought to himself. He walked along the hall until he came into a chamber. Nothing seemed exeptional about it, so he just continued through. The next chamber caught his attention. Covering the floor were hundreds and hundreds of keys. Just sitting there, doing nothing. "Repulso," He said, knocking them away, unsure of what might happen if he touched one. The sound of the clanking and clattering was deafening. He covered his ears as the sounds continued to clank, clatter, never stopping as the sound continued to bounce off of the walls. He finally couldn't take it. He dropped to his knees, raised his wand, and yelled the silencing spell.

Then, all of the sounds stopped, only his voice echoing three or four times on the walls, before eventually receding into nothingness. He gave a sigh of relief as it stopped. Never before in his life had he hated sound more. And never before had he loved silence more. He sighed again. He got back up to his feet, and slowly tiptoed over to a door at the far side of the room, avoiding touching the keys at all cost. He looked at the door, a key was already jammed into the keyhole above the handle. He grasped the handle lightly, and turned it, opening the door with a quiet creeeeaaaaak.

The door opened into yet another very large chamber. The floor was covered in a pattern of black square, then white square, black square, then white square. To Damien, it looked just like a giant chess board. Then Damien the noticed hundreds of scratches, scuffs, burns, and even craters all over the floor. It would seem that there had been a great duel within this chamber. Suge scampered off of his arm, down onto the floor, and looked around bewildered.

This shocked Damien. He had completely forgotten that he had brought Suge with him. How the monkey had survived the Devil's Snare, he had no idea. Yet, even with his great amount of surprise, Damien was unsurprised. The monkey was rather clever.

Then Damien realized, with a start, that this really must have been a giant chess board. Not a great duel, but a giant game of wizarding chess. There were exactly the correct amount of squares, and off in the corner, he actually saw a stone arm. "Wow," he thought to himself. "The teachers at this time sure knew their magic." He walked across the room, wondering what it must have been like with the enchantments intact.

Well, whatever is- "Or was," he thought to himself, realizing that if it was still there, the enchantments would still be going at it- must have been important. He decided that it was going to be another thing to talk to Hagrid about. He slowly opened the next door, beginning to hate the creeeeaaaak sound.

This was a chamber, with nothing in it, the only remarkable features being the two deep black scorch marks on opposite sides of the room, going the width of the room, leaving scorch marks along even the walls.

As Damien began to walk through the door, he felt the alarm he had set go off again. He pulled out his parchment, hoping that it was Geneve. He scanned all the way to the bottom, until he eventually came to the last name on the list. Etched clearly on the parchment was Nikolaus's name. Damien almost crumpled the paper into a ball, the only thing causing him to refrain from doing so was the fact that it was the only thing that actually kept records of when his alarm was set off.

He punched the wall. Where was that man? Damien needed his help finding Geneve, and there he was, playing with dark magic. Playing with Dark Magic.

Damien dropped to his knees. Playing with Dark Magic. A tear rolled down his cheek. Playing with Dark Magic. Another tear fell down his face. Playing with Dark Magic. Playing with Dark Magic. Playing with Dark Magic. Those words, "Playing With Dark Magic," danced around his head repeatedly, as his memory opened up.

He was there again, watching Chi Inu, and his mother. Damien had a bite mark in his shoulder, where Chi Inu had bitten him right before the sun had risen. Damien had been protecting his mother, telling her that Chi Inu didn't know what he had been doing. That had been a lie. Damien knew perfectly well that Chi Inu had planted himself as close to civilization as possible. As close to his mother as possible. The last second before Chi Inu had turned back into a human, Damien's mother had pushed him away, wandless, not wanting for him to get into the ensuing fight.

When Chi Inu was finished changing into Human form, he had not seen Damien. The homocidal maniac had then drawn his wand, and without thinking twice, snuffed the life out of Damien's mother. And then he left, without making so much of a sound, and Damien knew that Chi Inu knew who that woman had been. Damien had shown him a picture of her.

And all of this started when Damien decided that he had wanted to play with Dark Magic, and became a killer, and had joined Chi Inu's gang, the Sadistic Six.

Damien looked down at his hands as he kneeled in the fire-schorched room. He imagined seeing the blood of every single person he had killed. Had he been no different? Just a misguided boy who loved Dark Magic a little too much? No, there was no difference between the man Damien was twenty years ago, and Nikolaus. That meant that Nikolaus had to be saved from Dark Magic, even if it meant losing his life in the process.

Damien slowly stumbled to his feet. From now on, Hogwarts, and the inhabitants thereof, had his wholly undivided attention. And that included finding Geneve. He stumbled, wiping his eyes, into the next room, where, unbeknownst to anybody at this castle besides Proffessor Longbottom, Harry Potter had taken down Quirrel, and protected the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's stone.

With a soft thud, Nikolaus found himself landing on a marshy growth of tendrils and vines that started to constrict him. "Argh," he grunted in disguise as the slimy feeling of the Devil's Snare ensnared him.

"Ater Firaga," he muttered the spell and instantly a ring of black flames erupted and surrounded him, destroying everything that was in contact with him. He landed swiftly several feets below the mass growth, and walked away as the flames engulfed the Devil's Snare that was soon reduced to mere ashes. He did not refrain from using dark arts this time round. In fact, he had hoped for Damien would come questioning him... only then would he be able to devise a counter measure.

Nikolaus walked down the lit hallway, following the visible disturbed layer of dusts. Eventually he came to a chamber where hundreds of strange looking keys laid upon the stone ground. At the far corner of the chamber, he spotted the opened door which led to the next chamber. Ignoring those, he walked towards the door, stepping on some of the keys in the process. A weak flutter was all the keys gave before it laid still completely as though life was snuffed out of it.

The next chamber was a huge room with a seemingly huge chessboard. Nikolaus was starting to be amazed with the magnitude of the secret passage of Hogwarts. Even though he had discovered most of the walkways back in Durmstrang when he was schooling, none of those were as comparable as the ones he had seen so far. He had no idle time to look around as Damien was still not at sight. He proceeded to the next room.

Geneve ran down to the Slytherin Common Room where she stumbled into her room to gather her books for the next class. Lunch was well and trully over, and when she looked at the clock, she could not believe the time; it was nearly 3 o'clock! She had missed the school day. The noise of milling students in the common room travelled through her dormitory door. She quickly pulled off her robes and jumped into her bed just before her room mates came in. She closed her eyes.
"Geneve?" one of them said. Geneve did her best to pretend she had just woken up.
"Ohh.... what time is it?" she said, putting a hand to her head.
"Classes are finished. We missed you! Were you sick today?" the girl approached her. "You look terrible, your cheeks are all red. What's the matter?"
"Oh.. Madam Pomfrey sent me her to get some rest. I've.... I've got low blood sugar." Geneve smiled sheepishly. When the girl looked at her like she had two heads, another girl approached, who Geneve knew had grown up in the Muggle world just like she had.
"It means she feels faint all the time." the girl said. The other nodded with sudden understanding.
"Well, we'll let you rest. Will you be at dinner? I hear we have a guest today!" the girl said to Geneve.
A guest? Who could this be? Maybe a new teacher, or another ministry official? Geneve's head swam. "Um... I'll see how I feel." she turned over and faced away from the girls. When they had left the room, Geneve pulled out the parchment Nikolaus had given her. She reached into her bedside table and pulled out a quill and some ink.
"I hear someone new has arrived at Hogwarts. You had better make an appearance at dinner. I can't explain it, but I have this.... awful feeling....." Her curvy writing disappeared into the page. Geneve blinked once, twice, waiting for a response. But then exhaustion took over and she fell asleep without knowing what Nikolaus had repiled.

The next room was just as empty as the previous rooms. Geneve's warning came just as he was about to leave the room.
"Yet, another visitor?" Nikolaus questioned in his own thoughts. He already had Damien breathing down his neck, Gwydion watching his moves, and not to mention, the rest. Everyone was waiting like savengers for an opening, ever ready to move in at the slight chance of provocation.

Nikolaus gave a twisted smirk. "Just as always... weaks seek comfort in groups for they stand no chance against the strong, alone..."

With a nonchalent look, he left the room and entered the chamber where Damien stood alone in the middle, backfacing the only entrance way where Nikolaus was. Damien turned around as soon as he heard the approaching footsteps.

"So... what now?" Nikolaus asked as the two looked into each other eyes with deadly intent.

Damien turned, and his first instinct was to say, "Hi," as in a friendly gesture. After all, Nikolaus had helped stop Voldemort. In fact, he was one of the key reasons why Voldemort wasn't on this Earth.

But then reason took over as he remembered what Nikolaus was: A man who played with Dark Magic. So, instead, he said, in response, "Geneve is missing. But considering what my alarms have told me, you have found her. So, instead, let's talk about your habit of using Dark Magic." Damien reached within his potions jacket, feeling around his combustive selection of explosions, just in case this conversation got violent. Not that he intended to act first, but it was still a good idea to keep your hands on your weapon.

As he had been saying this, Suge had walked up to Nikolaus, holding out his hand, as if asking for a treat. Damien did not stop him. He did not control his pet like that. If Suge wanted to be friendly with strangers, or lunatics, or Dark Magic-meddling fools, then so be it.

Nikolaus neatly sidestepped past the monkey, never once removing his gaze at Damien. Suge was clearly offended by his action. Walking down the series of stairs in a dignified manner, he approached Damien at a leisure pace.

"I didn't know aurors were that interested in researching on others' personal preferences..." Nikolaus taunted.
"I won't be bothered if you are interested in flower arrangement or embroidery... or something to that extent?" Damien retorted, "coincidentally... your area of interests happens to cross swords with mine."
"Certainly... it's a pity though, our current interests seem to be on the opposing sides. I wonder, Damien... if you had the same interest as I did, would we turn out to be friends or rivals?" Nikolaus smirked.

Damien laughed, a cold, mirthless laugh. "We both know the answer to that question. There have never been Dark Wizard Friends. That is how they fell. Voldemort, Grindelwald, even the great Salazar Slytherin." He pulled a vial out of his jacket. "Do you know what this is?" He did not wait for Nikolaus to answer."This is a vial of water at the Ph of 1. Do you know what that means?" He looked down at the vial, then at Nikolaus.
