 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

He'd thought that hiding the treasure here on the grounds of Hogwarts, with all of the protection spells in place, would be the perfect hiding spot. He just hadn't factored in to the meddling kids this man was clearly not a Ravenclaw in his mortal life.
WHY were they all just STANDING there and not running to get his treasure as he had demanded?! Instead they were just standing here gawking at him like they'd never seen a ghost before. "I know you took it! Bring it to me at ONCE and I'll make sure to call off any future raids on the castle," he told them, crossing his arms. He was, of course, talking about the golems and all the mysterious things that had been happening. If he had his treasure there would be no more need for them to stomp around like buffoons, turning over everything in their path.
"You have FIVE minutes to bring me the treasure or else!" he told them, clapping his hands to emphasize his point. Ashley put her hands up. "We don't have it. The headmaster took it. Why don't you go ask him where it is? Please don't like kill us somehow. We don't have it. You can threaten us all you want, but the fact is, I don't know what happened to it. We found it ages ago." SHe didn't really care that she might be ratting the headmaster out right now, because he left her to die and she didn't care about him at all. "Why- Why don't you ask the headmaster? And are you holding us here, or can we leave now?" Ashley didn't want this to be like- a hostage situation or something. Because if it were, she doubted that anyone would come and get her. Especially the headmaster, who had probably spent the gold anyway. And she was majorly panicking. |
