Creeveys in Counselling

Chapter 7

Eleanor nearly jumped in Thomas' arms. She was scared. She had expected that Dumbledore would send them to a place where they would be alone.

"What was that?" she asked.

"I don't know," said Thomas. "Lets find out!"

They moved in a row towards the noise. The closer they came they understood it was singing. They were getting closer. Now they could hear what was sung.

"Just call me an island slease. All my body is yours for free. This is who I long to be: Louise the Bone Eater!"

"Did she just said 'Bone Eater'?" Colin dared to ask.

Dennis nodded. "She's after our bones."

"Which bone then? You know I chat sometimes with some of these American I meet online. And according to them it's also a slang name for penis," said Eleanor.

The boys looked if the water was burning.

"It still could be that it's only bird bones! It don't necessarily have to mean human bones!" she said reassuring them slightly.

They got to an open space in the trees where a large witch was seated before a cauldron full of a potion of some kind. She was big, and wore only a skirt made out of dragon hide and a matching bra.

"Who's there?" she said at the sound of a breaking twig under Colins foot.

"W-we," said Eleanor in a squeaky voice.

"You must be the people Dumbledore sent," she said.
They nodded.

"How silly of me to forget. Well my name is Louise. And I see Eleanor is the only girl, Thomas most be the the taller one. And which one of you is Colin and who Dennis?"

"I'm Colin," said Colin.

He still wasn't big. All Creeveys were small. No wonder Ron Weasley had always called them midgets. They did look like midgets.

"Nice to meet you, all. I'm terribly sorry what happy to you Colin and to you Dennis. But here it's all for themselves. The Ministry gave you four permission to use magic as long as the quest lasts. So I will now dress you in proper island clothes."

With a wave of her own wand their clothes disappeared. They all tried to cover themselves up.

"Don't cover yourselves up, people. Let the breeze calm you down. Take a swim in the water, it's lovely," Louise respinded.

"It will clean you if you feel unclean. It will heal your wounds, when you are wounded. Even wounds to ones pride. There is just one thing it doesn't do. It doesn't make you forget, sadly."

It was only when Louise had said this that they heard the waterfall with the lake at the bottom of the waterfall.

They forgot that they were naked and walked to the lake. Colin and Dennis went to stand under the waterfal, to let the the feeling of uncleanness be washed off them. There wounded pride healed. They indeed didn't forget what had happened, but they realised that it wasn't their fault. Eleanor loved to swim in the lake, just like Thomas did. The lost their shyness their wounds also healed. The wounds that had been put on them, because they could have saved Colin and Dennis from the ordeal that had happened to them.
