Well, we better be wise when we do use that last fate point.

You feel disconnected from your parents as what ties you felt toward them fade into background noise. No more will you cry or fret over them if they won’t even come to see you in hospital. Maud, despite her lying to you about the contest, was at least here for you.

”Is she alright?” you ask, flexing your other foot to check it works as good as the right.

It does.

Olivia hands you a piece of parchment.

Supernatural Luck – Your luck cannot possibly be natural. Its nowhere near "bottled luck"
levels, but things just tend to work out slightly better than they might for other people.
Whenever you spend a Fate Point, you may roll 1d10. If the result is an 8, 9, or 10, you gain
the benefits of having spent a Fate Point, but still retain the Fate Point.

Whenever we get the chance.

>> muh crysal ball

Yes. What about our ball?

>>24174941

No letter to parents yet. We contact them when we have the trident.

The thought of the whole school knowing about the contest isn’t a pleasant one; the thought of having students pick you out of a crowd doesn’t sit well with you. You ask in a low whisper if anyone knows about the real events which took place.

“They don’t know anything really except that Professor Bergle had kidnapped the headmaster and tried to harm you. They’re viewing the poisoning in a new light…but they don’t know where Sam is”

You ask him what he means by that. Joel looks to see the professor and aurors standing by the archway talking heatedly about something (you assume it’s you).

“His parents were told by Bergle, as the headmaster presumably, that he was being kept at Hogwarts…they’re thinking he might be dead. You know what I think about this anyway”

You remember Joel telling you about his theory that it was Bergle all along and that the cat you saw in the forbidden forest with Harriet was a transfigured Sam.

You let that conversation slide for a later date as you work to make sure there are no way you or your friends will be in any trouble.

“The whole school knows about the incident in the headmaster’s office?”

“Yes, but not about the Trident or the contest or even what part you had to play…us three played dumb and told the professors we were looking for you at the time of the incident, nothing more”

After waking up and asking your flurry of questions you forgot to ask one of the most important.

“How are you three?”

They shrug and smile.

“Same old” says Nigel “Better now we know you’re okay”

“Oh yeah!” he says, snapping his fingers a moment later as he remembers something, he pulls back his robe just enough for you to see the crystal ball beneath sunken within one of the inner pockets. Before anyone can say another word you hear the tapping of footsteps draw towards you as Professor Trib walks over.

“You three better be off to your lessons” she says “I’m sure Miss Fauxly can survive five minutes without you by her side”

The trio disband with half-smiles and curt waves as they leave the wing together. Alone with Trib she sits at the end of the bed like a mother would her child, she places a gentle hand on yours.

“You’ve been through a lot it seems” she says

>Yes miss, I have.

That's a terrible thing to let loose, especially as we don't know if Trib can be trusted.

Asking why Bergle attacked us is a good question. Maybe include asking how Nathaniel is doing; people saw us talking together, so asking how he's taking the death of a friend won't be suspicious.

It isn’t hard for you to muster the feeling of innocence and fear when you ask Tribley if you’re going to be locked away in Azkaban.

“Good heavens, girl” she says, her ugly features filling up amusement “Whatever for?”

You look down at your hands which had tiny little cuts over them before finding the right words.

“…I wanted to speak to the headmaster about my parents, they haven’t spoken to me, at least not in person, since I was entered into Ravenclaw.” You say, embedding the lie in a foundation of truth. “However when I went into his office I found Professor Bergle, and the headmaster, they were sort-of the same person until Bergle started to shout and come after me—“

You feel yourself getting worked up as tears roll down your cheeks, a real after effect of the post-conflict in which you had barely escaped.

Professor Trib sits with you and waits until you’ve composed yourself again. “I understand” she says “a first year shouldn’t have gone through what you have, those darn Peetree’s would never learn”

Professor Trib sees your confusion and sees to elaborating like a gossipy housewife, her leathery face creasing and moving at odd angles.

“You see Professor Bergle as you know him actually went by the name Harold Bob Peetree back when he was a student at Hogwarts. He and is brother Crispin were nigh inseparable, always getting into trouble of some sort, dragging Nathaniel and myself into the fray”

She loses herself in a memory before sighing.

“Professor?” you ask.
“Yes?”
“How is it that you come to—“
“—look like this?”
“…yeah, if you don’t mind my asking”

Trib looks at you form the corners of her eyes and sizes you up.

“Back when I was in my third year in Hogwarts I had made several terrible choices; I fell in with the wrong group, fell for a boy I shouldn’t and pledged by undying love to him under a Vow of Loyalty. Needless to say I didn’t keep to my vow and the boy died before I could anything about it”

“Professor Bergle had a brother?” you ask.

Trib can see the curiosity burning behind your eyes, her eyes narrow before she stands and pats herself down.

“He had a brother” she said “Crispin, like I said, talented boy. A Slytherin”

She proceeds to walk away, stops, turns and then says “If you ever need my help, be it schoolwork, advice or a refuge from your new celebrity, I’m here for you”

She leaves the hospital wing where you can see a handful of students, Slytherin students, peering inside for a good look at you. The door is closed and you are left alone. It’s evening and after two days of rest you’re still tired as you lay in bed.

You think of what it must all mean; how this puzzle fits together…you’re forgetting something. You can’t describe it, like you know that something back in the headmaster’s office escaped your notice…

You had heard of such an unimaginable and ludicrous idea of a elf being granted his freedom. The front of the shirt, though dirty, depicts a young man checking his watch whilst half-stepped inside a vehicle with its wheels on fire – likely one which had once belonged to a muggle.

“Are you a free elf?” you ask, realizing that you wand is a world away on the desk top beside your bed, though whether the elf means you any harm is yet to be seen.

“That I be” he says, stretching his words out as if a child gazing up at the stars “and I have come to help you in your endeavours”

“And why would you want to help me?”
“As a favour to a friend of a friend”
“And who might this friend of a friend be?”

The elf gives a sloppy grin, disappears and reappears by the window beside you as he looks down below, pressing his bony nose against the glass.

“Pester” he says “Your house elf”

aren't house elfs that are given clothing "disgraced"?

“Who are you and how do you know Pester?”

The elf skitters over and jumps onto your bed and bounces a little on the springiness of it. He lies on his back and looks up at the ceiling, his arms and legs spread like a starfish.

“My name is Soup” it says “Pester has been my friend for some time, we are good friends, and my main job is to help other house elves with their hurts their master’s give them.”

Pester has always been in your life. When you were born Pester was bought the same year as a youngling, newly taken from its mother to be a servant, along with the others, in your household. You never saw him much unless he was cooking your meals, cleaning the manor or hurting himself in the garden after performing its services poorly.

You had a soft spot for Pester, always giving him your left overs from your meal when you could see he was hungry, otherwise you were content for him to slave after you day and night.

You feel a knee jerk reaction to be nasty to the little guy…but that’s just it. You realize that you’re being a real witch by treating it like any less of a person when you didn’t before. You think back to Olivia, her shock at the way you considered house elves, and decide to take a deep breath and treat the situation with some tact.

“So you’re like a doctor?” you say
“Exactly” it says, giving you a thumb up whilst it continues to loop up at the ceiling.

“So why did Pester feel the need to go behind my parent’s back?”

Soup looks up, cracks it’s neck and then shrugs. “Not allowed to say, Pester will have to break his nose and feetsie’s if I say too much”

You ask how your parents are doing.

“Not allowed to say”
“Why not”
“Conflicts with my intention to help you”
“HELP ME BY TELLING ME”
“I’m really sorry miss but I can’t. Pester wouldn’t want me to. It’s for your own good”

You stamp your foot which lingers with a dull ache from the damage that was done to it. House elves and their games can be so darn infuriating.

“Fine” you say, sitting on the bed beside Soup with such a force he bounces a little “So you’re like a doctor sent by my house elf to help me, what kind of help?”

Soup sits up and looks at his toes.

“I’m to keep you safe and help make your stay at Hogwarts easier”
“Easier?”
“I can get things, go where wizards can’t, short of stealing or hurting someone I’ll do whatever you ask…as long as it doesn’t conflict with Pester’s wishes”

You sit together in silence. He’s good company, the sound of its breathing and the way it strums it’s fingers against it’s stomach as if playing an instrument is sort of adorable.

You mull over just what use Soup will be to you, whilst you think you ask an idle question to pass the time.

“Why do you have your ears like that?”
“Fashion”
“Fashion?” you say, confused.
“Well Elfs don’t have hair or much of a culture, not until now a bunch of us are free, so we style our ears for fashion, amongst other things”

That…sort of makes sense, you had thought of house elves as just another creature waiting to do your bidding. A sudden thought comes to you.

“There is a ginger tom running around the grounds” you say “Do you think you could find it for me?”

“Most certainly miss fauxly” says Soup, standing on the bed and saluting you “It doesn’t belong to anyone?”

Bergle maybe, but he’s not around anymore so… “No, I think it’s a stray. Be careful with it and bring it to my dorm.”

“Right away!” Soup declares as he pops out of existence, leaving you alone.

You spend the rest of the day resting inside the hospital wing before you are given your leave by the nurse to return to your dorm. Upon returning to your dorm to find your friends sitting on the couch in front of the fire, you notice that many of the other students are watching you from the corners of their eyes. You see hear them whispering before you turn the corner and again when you leave, only stopping when you are insight and in their company. You don’t like it, not one bit, this celebrity and rumours that seem to spread across the castle over the following two days of lessons and study.

You told your friends about Soup who hasn’t yet returned with what you asked for. Your gut feeling, if it means anything, tells you that you can trust the funny little house elf who seems to make a living getting things done for those trapped in servitude to their masters.

It’s a Friday at noon and you sit on the grass watching the fourth year Ravenclaw Quidditch team soar through the air as they practice. The trio are with you along with Tara, you had forgotten to bring Elise with you but don’t really care for her much these days anyway.

Nigel hands you a tuna and cucumber sandwhich which you nibble on as you sit in the sun. It’s a lovely day.

You’ve got the whole of lunch to relax and have fun with your friends; you decide that you’ll go see if Robert is by his tree in a little bit. Lately you’ve been feeling a lot better about your time in school, the whole in your chest you felt over your parents have gone, replaced with an independence you never knew you had. You feel guilty about leaving Elise but…you just can’t bring yourself to care. She’s just a doll, that’s all she ever was, you don’t need her anymore.

From the pitch you can see something red draw near from the distance. It’s Harriet, looking radiant as she smiles and sits with you four (and Tara who’s sat on your shoulder).

“Hey everyone” she says, “How’s it going?”

“Feeling better but my head still hurts” you say, running your finger along the faint line where the rock hit your brow. Thankfully it isn’t so much a scar as a light sheen that’s barely noticeable.

“Let me know if there’s anything I can do” she says, sitting beside you.

Nigel, who has made himself in charge of the picnic, offers Harriet a sandwich.

“Can’t” she says “Trying out for Gryffindor Quidditch team in the try outs are the term, got to watch my figure”

“Rubbish” says Joel who takes a chunk out of a pork pie. “You’ll need to bulk up if anything, it’s a dangerous sport”

Despite your run in and almost death whilst riding a broom in Bergle’s lesson, which you have come to believe was the cause of his tampering, you have decided, as of right now on the spot, to join the Ravenclaw team for the new term.

“I think I might join too” you say as you idly hold Tara’s paws as she plays with you.

“Great” says Harriet “I figured cheerleading was a little dull compared to actually taking part, I look forward to besting you” she says in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

After another ten minutes of chatting with your friends you stand and let the others know that you’re going for a walk. You wander off with Tara on your shoulder before she jumps off in hopes of catching an enchanted paper bird Joel as cast for her.

You watch Tara dip and dive as she tries to claw it, you take out your own wand and keep it afloat as you cross the castle grounds to the tree.

You can see Robert sitting alone by the tree with a book in his hands. He’s looking out into the lake as he eats a biscuit. You stand motionless and watch the ripple of the lake which reflects the sun like glass, causing the forbidden forest to be flipped upside from the right perspective.

When you’re close by Robert looks up from his book he’s writing in and gives a haphazard smile.
