HARRY POTTER :flash forward.

"Alright, I agree," said Harry. "So, how about we just muffle it for tonight and ask them to do it tomorrow?" "Agreed," replied Hermione, while Daphne nodded.

"As for the other four," Daphne said, "I think we can get them all done before we go to bed."

"Let's get started," said Hermione, agreeing. "Oh, and we're going to need a new password for Professor Whittaker. Dumbledore would have heard and recorded it when we first entered, tonight."

As they were about to head back to start on their pranks, Hermione stopped them. "Hang on a second," she suddenly said.

When she knew she had their attention, she said, "I think Dumbledore placed that listening charm outside the alcove before we left for the Christmas break. That's how he learned of the password to get in. Plus, I think we need to question Professor Whittaker of who else has been in and possibly when.

"I'm going to put a muffle on the listening charm outside first," she explained. "We need to chat with the good Professor as to who's been inside."

Surprised, Daphne replied, "That's Slytherin of you, Hermione. I approve."

very

"Right then," said Harry as Hermione blushed a little at the praise. "Let's do this."

When they returned to the alcove, Hermione immediately cast a muffling charm over the existing listening charm.

"Done!" she said.

Looking

to

the

statue,

Harry

asked, "Professor, has Headmaster Dumbledore been in our rooms since we left for Christmas break?"

The statue appeared to think for a moment before it said, "The castle answers directly to the Headmaster. If he gives us orders, we must obey them."

"Ah!" said Harry. "In that case, we must assume he gave you orders not to tell us what he was up to. However, did he give you orders to tell us what he wasn't up to?"

The statue smiled before it replied, "No."

"Then we need to ask him questions based on what he wasn't up to," said Hermione, understanding.

Nodding, Harry asked, "Professor, did the Headmaster enter more often than once?" "No," replied the statue, clearly amused.

"Did the Headmaster enter after Christmas?" asked Daphne, understanding what Harry and Hermione were up to.

"No," replied the statue.

"He didn't muck about waiting to set them up, did he?" Harry mused.

"Did the Headmaster enter accompanied by a member of staff?" asked Hermione.

The statue didn't respond.

"Hmmm..." said Harry. "Excluding speaking about the Headmaster... and Professor Snape, has any staff member been in our apartments since we left for Christmas break?" "No."

"So he entered with Professor Snape... Wait!" said Daphne. "Has Professor Snape been in our apartment unaccompanied by the Headmaster?"

"Yes."

"Nosy wanker," fumed Harry. Neither of his bondmates berated him for his language.

"So, Dumbledore has only ordered the castle not tell anyone what he's been up to; not what the rest of the staff has been up to," said Daphne. "We can use that."

"Any other questions we want to ask?" asked Harry.

"Yes," replied Hermione. "Professor, even though we have a password to allow us or those we give it to, to enter, can the Headmaster simply order you to let him in?"

"No," replied the statue. "He cannot order me to let him in as the apartments are considered private. However, I must let him and anyone else in if he or they gives the password. The same applies to the guardians of the other apartments. However, for the common rooms of the four Houses, both the Headmaster and his Deputy have automatic access. And the four Heads of the Houses also have automatic access to each of their Houses' common rooms."

"Good to know," said Daphne.

"Right, then," said Harry. "We need a new password for the Professor, here."

"This time I have no problem if the password is 'manipulative old fool'," said Hermione. "Agreed," added Daphne.

"'Manipulative old fool', it is then," declared Harry.

To the Professor, he said, "Change of password, Professor."

"Old password?" asked the statue.

"Double-H Dee," replied Harry.

"New password?" "Manipulative old fool," replied Harry. "Password change accepted," the statue stated.

"Brilliant," said Harry. Turning to his bondmates he said, "Alright, who's going to put the swear word charm on the listening charm?"

"I will," replied Daphne, before she turned to Hermione. "Could you remove the muffling charm, love?"

Hermione nodded and quickly removed her charm. And Daphne stepped forward and applied hers.

"Done," she said. "I'll use a similar charm for the one in the living room as soon as we step inside."

She then turned to look at the Professor and said, "The Headmaster's a manipulative old fool, Professor."

The statue smiled and immediately turned out of the way. "That he is," he murmured. The three bondmates entered and closed the door behind them. Daphne immediately went to the coffee table and, after discovering the one Hermione had found, cast the almost identical charm on the one, there.

Indicating with hand gestures, she then led the other two into Hermione's room and closed the door. Hermione went to the foot of her bed and indicated the whole footboard.

With another quick quiet gesture, she started to cast at the footboard. Suddenly, she stopped and, in a loud and clear voice, sang the ditty Henry the Eighth. As soon as she'd finished, she cast again.

"Alright," she said. "That was a recording charm I used over the top of the listening charm, and charmed it to continually play back the recording. Then I used a silencing ward to lock them together. He can now no longer hear anything in here but me singing that silly song."

"Now for the mosquito," said Daphne.
