I turn back to the twins and say, "So, let's start planning!"

Fred looks at me and asks, "How are we going to go about this?" George nods his head and says, "Yeah, although Filch is going to be the only person we will have to go through, still he knows the school like the back of his hand, so ain't going to be easy at all."

Although it pains me to do this, I say "I already know that, so that is why I will be willing to take out a potion from the stockpile I have built up."

Ever since I have started to brew potions as a kid at home, I have been slowly and steadily building up a great big stockpile of potions inside my suitcase. I have always told myself that I am going to save it for a rainy day, but deep down, I know that I have really become like a stingy dragon that cannot help himself from hoarding all of his treasures. What can I say, every time I look at all that I have accumulated thanks to my hard work and dedication, it brings me great pleasure and joy and I cannot help fantasizing that one day I will not be having only basic and intermediate potions in my stockpile, but advance, rare, and even legendary potions.

The twins looked amazed that I am willing to take out a potion from my suitcase, ever since I had shown them, all the potions that I have gathered in my laboratory that is located in my suitcase, they have been begging me to let them use only one but sting old me had refuse. I told myself if I were to give in just like that and hand over a potion to them, it would not end well at all. I would do it once and then there will be a second time then a third time, it would keep on going until I am all out of potions, so I adamantly refused them.

I frustratingly look at twins who are nearly jumping in joy, take a deep breath I tell myself, it is just going to be this one time then I promise, I will never go digging into my stockpile again, but a part of me, the greedy part, is shouting, you are going down a slippery slope, you fool.

"Although it pains me, and I rather face death head on, I am willing to take out just one potion from my stockpile so that this plan can come to fruition."

George asks me with a wolfish smile on his face, "what potion are you going to take out?"

"The invisibility potion," I answer through gritted teeth, I cannot help feeling like weeping. This potion took me a lot of effort and I had only just recently been able to make two batches of them.

They look at me in surprise, "Wow, so you are willing to bring out the good stuff, man you are pulling no stops, muh?"

"I might as well bring out the good stuff" I say. "since I am going to take out a potion anyway, might as well make it something that is helpful. Anyways wipe away those grins off your faces and start spewing out ideas."

Fred speaks up and says, "We could ask Peeves for help, he could..."

I shake my head and immediately shot down that idea, "No, I wouldn't be surprised if Peeves sold us out. As much as he likes causing problem, he sure as hell likes getting people into trouble even more."


George shrugs and looks at his twin and says, "Yeah Caelum is right, Peeves is can be helpful sometimes, but he is mostly unreliable. You won't know when he might flip against you. He is chaotic like that."

"Alright, I am willing to consent to that, so what about if we transform into our animagus form and then..."

"Nope," I say while making a clear x with my hands. "That would draw way too much attention to us, two monkeys and a tiger running down the hallways, anyone with half a mind would start to get suspicious." Anyways I want to keep this a secret for as long as possible, there is no way I want to be registered with the Ministry of Magic at the Animagus Registry.

We continue to think to ourselves silently, until George speaks up hesitantly, "Tomorrow is Hogsmeade weekend trips, I don't know if that is helpful but take it or leave it."

I take that bit of info into my mind and slowly processes it, my mind spins with countless thoughts. Finally, after a while, I say "Yeah we could use that."

The twins look at me and at the same time ask, "What? Tell us"

"Wait," I say as my fingers slowly and rhythmically rap on my thigh while I think. "We could use that," I say absentmindedly.

"Stop acting so mysterious, tell us what you got!"

"Calm down, I am going to," I say. "I was thinking that during Hogsmeade weekend trips, Filch is always standing at exit examining the students' permission slip and what they bring in after they come back, right?" The twins nod their head in affirmative. "We could use that window that we have, right?"

Realization dawns upon them and they grin from ear to ear.

"I will drink the invisibility potion and then slip into Filch's office. You guys stand guard near his office but make sure you do not act dubious or that will bring us attention. Also, make sure that you guys bring Dungbombs with you, that will act as our signal for something has gone wrong."

"After that, we shall get our hands on some magical items."
