Taking on the Magical World 45 Chapter 44: Caugh

I should seriously learn a spell that prevents eavesdropping, I think to myself, maybe the Muffliato Charm or the Imperturbable Charm could do.

I turn away from my thoughts and listen to what Charlie has since we are at his mercy now.

"You know, Caelum here has saved you guys from a lot of trouble, and when I say a lot I mean a whole lot."

The twins sigh, and Fred says, "Yeah we know."

Charlie looks at them frustratingly, "No you do not," The twins look at him as wondering what he wants to say, even I lean forward to listen in. "Even though 'he who must not be named' has been gone for quite a while now, everyone fears that there might be somebody else who raises up and takes 'he who must not be named' place and bring about blood, death, and chaos just like he did. So, anyone that shows even the slightest inclination of going down the same path as 'he who must not be named' would be swiftly and promptly put down with no question asked."

Charlie pauses there for a while to let what he just said sink in the twins and also to give them some time to piece together and understand what he just revealed because it is shocking even to me, but Charlie's revelation does clear up a lot of things. For one it explains why so many people were quick to believe lies about Harry Potter, in the books. People might adore him and appreciate him for taking out Voldemort when he was a baby, but when they see that lightning bolt mark on Harry's forehead not only does it bring upon a sense of respect, but it also brings fear. Fear of what he might become and accomplish when he grows up, and especially the fear that he might go down the same path as Voldemort because if he did who would be able to stop him since he was already as powerful as the greatest, terrible yes, but the greatest wizard in modern history.

But besides that, my view of Charlie keeps on getting higher and higher not only does he have skill, but he also has sight and clear understanding because not that many people can lok at things for what they are.

Anyways the revelation did sink into the twins, the aghast expressions on their faces could tell me all that I need to know.

I clear my throat and ask the question that really needs to be asked, "So what do you want to do us, tell our parents or maybe..."

Charlie held out his hand in a sort of gesture to make me stop talking, "I do not plan on doing anything to you guys," he says.

Fred and George looked shocked, I am also slightly shocked, but mostly curious about where things will go.

Charlie lets out a hearty chuckle and says, "There is no need to be shocked, I actually approve!"

"Ah, from the looks on your faces I can tell you must be wondering why I am not going to get you guys into trouble, huh."

"Ohm, yeah!" said the twins at the same time.

"Look, I can understand why Professor Hagrid is a staff member here at Hogwarts, once you get to know him you will know he is the best magizoologist around these parts once you overlook his tendency to undermine the dangers behind certain magical creatures. Professor Snape could be harsh but again just like Professor Hagrid be is the best in his field, nobody is a clever innovator in potions than him. Professor Flitwick maybe a half-goblin but once again he is the best at his field, and he is even a dueling champion. On the other hand, Filch has an extremely unpleasant personality. Despite working at a school, he hates all kids, despises most of the students and even some of the staff members."

"So, you are saying you hate him?" asks Fred before Charlie could answer George adds, "man, what has he done to get on your nerve?"

"I do not understand what the two of you are even going on about, is there like a point of Charlie and gaining his disapproval?" I ask.

"Oh, it is good that you asked now before you got on his bad side," said George. "Mh, yep because if you did you would have been in for a lifetime of suffering," added Fred. "Remember that poor muggle boy back in the town, Ottery St Catchpole?" asked Fred. "Yeah, I still get nightmares of what happened back then." I shake my head those two are now in their little world.

"So, you want us to get revenge for you?" I ask Charlie.

"What? no, no you guys can just carry out whatever you are planning, I will not be getting in your way."

I smile at him "seems to me, you want us to get a little bit of revenge for you, but whatever. All I want is some information, you have been at Hogwarts way longer than us so is there something we should watch out for?"

"There is not that much you really need to look out for except Filch and his cat, oh yeah, you should also look at for Peeves he will call Filch on to you if he sees you, other than those three, there are not that many people walking around so late, they are all asleep."

I nod my head, that was pretty much what I guessed, I look up to Charlie and say, "Thanks for the info!" He nods his head and walks to his dorm room.

I look at the twins and say, "let's get planning."
