"Give me the pictures and steer well clear of the dorm for...ooh, an hour or so?" She shrugged, then shuffled back a few inches, away from the broom. "Rightio."

"Tomorrow," Sirius said. "Let me know when's a good time for you. He'll notice they're missing as soon as I nick 'em, so you've got to be ready to move." He stopped talking to focus on the broom, taking a deep breath and then performing a complicated little wiggle with his wand. There was a flash of lavendar light, but when Sirius hesitantly poked the broom with a finger, he got a little shock from it. "Ouch! Fuck, that didn't work." Sucking on his injured finger, Sirius looked back at the book.

"Will do. Good man, Sirius." She clapped him on the back, leaning around him to pull the book closer. "You need to be more careful, mate. Hey, that looks promising," she added, tapping her finger on the book a few pages before where Sirius had been looking. "Misdirection charms."

Sirius studied the section Alice had pointed out, tapping his wand against his knees thoughtfully. "Hmm... maybe... Worth a try, at least. Would you like to do the honors, or are you going to leave all the dirty work to me?"

"Tempting as it is to leave it up to you, I guess I'll have to learn to risk things exploding in my face if I want to be an Auror." She squinted at the book for a moment, then read out the countercharm, emulating the diagram in the book with the motions of her wand. And flick.

It didn't look like anything bad had happened, but that didn't mean anything. Sirius prodded the broom again and again got rewarded with a little jolt. "Owww..." He shook his hand, scowling at the broom. "Stupid dark magic. Come on, Alice, we can do this."

"Damn, I hoped we had it then." She frowned and prodded it with her wand. "If I were a broom, what curses would affect me most?"

"Bucking jinxes," Sirius said. "Anti-Directional hex. Accelerating Charms, overenthusiastically applied. There's this one... ah, can't remember the name of it. But it's the opposite of a Featherweight Charm and makes everything weigh fifty times as much. And those are just the standard broom jinxes. My parents have a library of dark tomes. I'm sure they've gotten a bit creative."

"Misdirections, animating charms, hexes designed to attack anyone who touched it for a certain length of time, and weight charms." The tall, skinny Ravenclaw grinned apologetically, sitting down next to the lake. "Sorry. I wasn't listening in. Promise."

Reaching into his bag, he pulled out a large book and a Thermos flask, crossing his legs, and unscrewed the top of the flask, looking reflectively out at the water. There were dark shadows under his eyes. As was usual for the first few days back at Hogwarts, Glen Stebbins had been sleeping very badly indeed.

"Chocolate?" he offered after a moment, with a slightly nervous grin, and held out the Thermos cap, now mostly full of steaming hot chocolate.

"We tried misdirections," Alice told him, without batting an eyelid. "And it gave Sirius here a shock. Literally, I mean. Aaand thank you~" She took the Thermos cap off Glen and took a good gulp of hot chocolate, rolling it around in her mouth. Gulp. "That's good stuff. Anyway, I don't see why we shouldn't work through all the counter-curses we can think of and then poke it again. What harm can it do? All it costs is time."
