Author's Note:
This chapter: Parvati and Lavender recollect what they know about the closet.


Giggles and Prophecies

"Alohamora!"

"So," Parvati said, "this is the place about which everyone is talking."

Lavender giggled.

The had just entered THE closet.

"Who do you think have been in there?" Lavender asked.

"I know my sister Padma has been in here once. You know at the Yule Ball with that boy from Beauxbatons!"

"Really? You haven't asked how it was, have you?"

"No, I haven't! But I bet it wasn't all too great since after the Yule Ball she dumped him!"

"No way! By the way, has she been here more than once?"

"I think so, I remember her telling me that she walked in on Anthony Goldstein and Hannah Abbott... naked!"

"That is hilarious, but wasn't Anthony dating Padma?"

"He was! And Hannah was dating Ernie!"

"Poor Ernie...Who else? Any Gryffindors?"

"It has been rumoured that Harry was in here and lost his virginity!"

They both giggled. They liked Harry and the rumours were so persistent.

"Oh, I wish this closet could talk. Too bad we haven't learned that spell yet!"

"I bet Hermione would be able to do it..." Lavender said.

"But that's Hermione. No body is as crazy as her about studying, except maybe some of the Ravenclaws. Maybe we can ask Professor Trelawney... She surely must have seen something?"

"Maybe she herself used this closet once?"

"With whom?"

"Snape?" Lavender suggested.

"Ewww... I don't even want to think of that! What about Professor Lupin?"

"He doesn't like her very much. I guess he's too afraid he'd bite her. He didn't want her to crystal gaze for him either!"

"I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want her to crystal glaze for him..."

"Maybe he really is allergic and afraid for crystal balls, because they remind him of the moon. He's still a werewolf!"

They still giggled.

"I know Colin has been in here once... I just remembered. He had been with someone but he or she had left the boy naked with the door wide open!" Lavender said.

"I remember that one! The whole school talked about it for months. He still gets red when someone mentions it!"

They giggled. They had no clue why anyone would be so mad at the boy to leave him there like that. Maybe he had tried to photograph the girl or boy during the deed.

"I'm sure the Weasley twins must have been in here. They are such pranksters. I can't see how they haven't used this closet!" Parvati said

"Ewww... Fred and George together, kissing, shagging... that's horrible! I don't even want to think about that."

"Indeed, but who says that they were in here by themselves. They could have brought someone along... I guess Fred took Angelina, seeing as he took her to the Yule Ball!"

"George would bring Alicia or Katie I think... Do you know who George took the Yule Ball?" Lavender asked.

"I absolutely don't know!"

"Lets go and see Professor Trelawney. Have her crystal gaze for us. Maybe she sees who have been in here!"

With that Parvati and Lavender left the closet in a hurry.
