Fred looked over at me and said. "Well, now that we are pretty famous, we could get started on that joke shop, you have always been talking about, right Caelum?"
"Uh..." Do these two really want to kill me, we just did a heist and now you want to open an illegal shop in the school.
George bobs his head up and down in excitement. "Yeah, we could finally fulfil our dreams, and I know the perfect spot that we could set up shop."
Fred looks at his brother in amazement. All he asks him was "Really?"
"Yep, there is this disused bathroom on the sixth floor of Hogwarts castle. It is really well hidden, and nobody ever goes there, so we could use that lavatory to open a joke shop. there"
I hold up my hand, in a gesture telling them to slow down for a bit. "Wow, wow, wow. Slow down there, we are under heavy observation here, from Filch. If we do something, anything for that matter, that is suspicious or like what the two of you are planning. Filch will come in and bust our ass before we could say a word."
The twins pause when they hear what I have said.
Fred speaks up in a nonchalant tone. "Stop being a worry wart, Caelum. Didn't you hear what George has said? The place is well hidden, and nobody ever goes there. I really don't think Filch even knows where this bathroom is located."
I feel irritated that these two are going to get me into a bigger mess, but they have a point. If this bathroom is well hidden and has proper defenses in place, there will be no way for Filch to be able to find his way our new shop.
I look at George and ask, "Where did you get this information from anyways?"
George immediately answered back, "Peeves told me!"
Of course, he did, I should have known. He is the only information source the two of you got, I think to myself.
"Well, do you know how to get to this secret bathroom?" I ask George.
George nods his head, "Yeah let me guide the two of you there."
I shake my head, "Show us tomorrow, did you forget that it is late now. Also, people might follow us since the two of you are now well known."
Fred looks out the window and says, "Wow, I totally forget how late it is."
George look at me skeptical way, "Why would people follow us?"
"It is the price for fame, my friends" I answer. You have no idea how bad it can get, fame — Paparazzi and what not would be following people ever where.
I try to stifle a yawn as I head off to the restroom to freshen up.
Tomorrow we can see if this bathroom would be ideal to set up our new shop.
----------------------------------
The next day, Fred and I followed George, who leads us down to the Glanmore Peakes' Corridor, which is a passage on the sixth-floor of Hogwarts Castle, located a bit off of the sixth-floor corridor.
The corridor is called Glanmore Peakes' Corridor because it is named after Glanmore Peakes, whose portrait hangs there.
"Come on!" George waved at me and Fred as he turned a corner and come to a head at an old wooden blue door, that could really use a good repair, I reflect.
Fred walks ahead and tries to open the door, but it does not budge an inch. Fred looks at his twin for an answer.
All George does is point at the portrait hanging right next to the wooden door. In it is a man who looks to be in his fifties, he has a white skin tone, blue colored eyes, and red-orangish hair. He is dressed in a blue pirate outfit that comes with a hat, and he is holding a short sword in his hand.
I quickly catch on to what George means and walk up to the portrait. The man in the portrait looks at me and asks in a gruffy voice. "Wha' do yo wants, lad?"
I speak in my most polite tone since I am the one who needs something from this man. "I was just wondering, who you are, good sir?"
At that question, the flood gate of this man's mouth opens wide. "Th' name be Glanmore Peakes! Killer o' the' Sea Serpent o' Cromer, a giant monstrosity that lived off th' shores o' Cromer, Norfolk 'n was makin' trouble thar. Thanks, t' that deed, I got meself a Famous Wizard Card fashioned aft me."
I clear my voice to try to slow him down. I stop with the pleasantry and get to my point as quick as possible, before he drowns us to death with the incessant talking. "I was wondering if you, good sir, could open this door and let us in?"
Glanmore shook his head. "No can do, lad! Yo either know the password, or you don't."
I look at the twins waiting for an answer, and from the blank looks on their faces, I could guess that they don't have a clue. Shit! It looks like it is up to me alone, to figure this one out.
I turn to stare up at the portrait of Glanmore, from what I could gather, unless it is an important place that is under heavy guard like the portrait of the fat lady. The password is mostly related to the portrait.
I slowly rub my chin and think, then a thought hits me as quick as that. With cunning in my eyes, I ask Glanmore, "Glanmore what was the creature that you killed?"
Glanmore loudly laughs, "O' yo mean th' Sea Serpent o' Cromer!" Glanmore pause and his smile slackens, "Oh... I shouldn't have said that."
I smile wickedly, "Sea Serpent!" The door of the bathroom slowly cracks open.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
