The two on Neville's bed instantly

The two on Neville's bed instantly sobered and sat up:

"What do you mean attacked?" – demanded Fred – "Attacked how? By who?"

Harry shrugged:

"No idea. Snape was walking me to the Tower, since it was close to the curfew. I spotted the body on the third floor near the staircase, so I pointed it out to Snape. He told me to go to the Tower, so I decided it was a good idea and went back… oh and I was harassed by Granger just now."

Just then George came in. He looked rather haggard:

"Whatever it was that got Filch's cat struck again. First year Gryffindor Colin Creevey, muggleborn, was attacked today. He was found on the third floor holding his camera. He was petrified. When they opened the camera to see if he took a picture of his attacker, it blew up into Dumbledore's face."

This earned a small giggle out of Neville and Harry.

"… Also, I changed the potion in Granger's ink. Now she will think she's writing gibberish, while in all actuality it will be readable." – finished George as he came to sit next to Harry.

"What do you mean his camera blew up?" – asked Harry – "And how do you know about that? I doubt Dumbledore would tell students about all the details…"

The older twin ruffled Harry's hair, as he did quite often, and chuckled:

"Quite sharp, aren't you? Fine, I was returning to the common room, when I saw Snape rushing upstairs with Creevey floating behind him. You know me, I'm genetically very curious, so I followed them to the Infirmary. And listened to Dumbledore rave about 'how could this be happening again, how he was sure there was no new heir at school, what's going on and so on'…"

Neville frowned:

"Well, at least we know that the Chamber really exists and Dumbledore must have a clue to what's going on."

Harry shrugged:

"Most likely, though it's not like it actually does us any good. Nev, did your Gran write back about the solicitor?"

The Longbottom heir smiled sheepishly:

"Oh, yes, she did. Yesterday in fact. Sorry, I forgot. Snape's essay and our daily trips to the library didn't give me much free time. Here it is." – he passed Harry an envelope. Potter opened it at once.

[Dear Mr. Potter,

I thank you for being friends with my grandson. Also it is not unusual at all for pureblood families hire a solicitor. Just because you happen to be younger than most Lords doesn't mean anything. I can recommend you the 'Jenks & Jenks' company. They are well known in the pureblood society, they handle our family's affairs as well as the Malfoys' and the Black's. I doubt you will find someone.

Sincerely,


Augusta Longbottom,

Dowager Lady of the House Longbottom.]

Harry smiled:

"Well, this is good news. I'll have to set up a meeting at some point, though not until the break obviously... Good night."

With that he turned onto his side, snuggled into his pillow and drifted off to sleep, paying no attention to the twins who were still in the room.


Author's Note: Well, there it is. Once again Harry escapes unnoticed. I hope my twins are not too OOC, but I like them this way.
