Twilight's POV
Next day I woke up terrified. I couldn't focus on yesterday's meeting and I couldn't sleep well either after hearing scream coming from that strange door. Was I suppossed to report anything to professors? I think I wasn't allowed to be there, what if I get in trouble?
For now I have decided to remain quiet about it and continue with my day. Today I have Herbology and Care for Magical Creatures which means I will see Sunset so I am excited.
At Herbology I was greeted with the most unusual professor ever. Pink haired girl sat next to me. She didn't say anything and seemed very nervous. So I greeted her.
"Hi! Are you excited for Herbology?"
"Very."
"Me too! Do you like plants?"
She nodded. Okaaay.... she seems very shy.
"I'm Twilight!"
"Flut..." and I didn't hear the rest.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you well."
"Fluttershy..."
"That's a nice name!"
"Thanks."
"Welcome class! I am professor Discord, but you can call me just Discord. I will be teaching plants or whatever."
Did he really just say he will be teaching plant or whatever? Well this is going to be an interesting subject. Professor Discord seemed chill and like he didn't care much about plants at all. He looked like he was only few years older than us but so tired of everything. Maybe he wanted to teach some other more exciting to him subject but he ended with this? That doesn't mean he needs to be so uninterested. And how did he even become teacher at 20? He either must be very smart or he is here for something. Something about him seems suspicious.
After class ended he asked, "Alright. Does anyone want to work on extra credit project?"
Both Fluttershy and I raised our hands. Discord sighed.
"Great more work for me. Alright, come here so we can arrange something. We will be planting these special glowing plants. It will be like an extra class of Herbology where the 3 of us will plant them and take care of them for this whole semester. Once a week. Are you really sure?"
We both nodded excitedly. He sighed.
"Alright. Great! I guess there are people interested in plants."
Seems like fun! However it may be weird if Fluttershy won't want to talk with me much. Maybe when she gets to know me she will be more comfortable around me. We shall see.
------
My week was well. It started a but dramatic but I think I am slowly getting used to here. I have found out I have Flying classes with Rainbow, History of Magic with Rarity and Defense Agianst Dark Arts with all of the girls I have met. On friday night I have decided to visit the doors again.
There it was again. The scream. It wasn't stopping. Suddenly, I've heard footsteps and hid. Someone came and tried to open the door with a spell. I moved a bit to see who it was. I couldn't believe it! Professor Discord!
What is he doing here? And why is he trying to open the doors? And what's with the scream? As I've said he is too young to even finish Hogwarts, let alone be professor! All of this is so suspicious!
I quietly ran away so he didn't notice me. I need to tell this to someone. I need to find out what's behind those doors!
But who do I trust? Who can I trust? My brother? Cadence? I think they will tell teachers and, not that I don't think they can handle it, but I don't think they will handle it.
Can I trust any if the girls I have met in the past week? I only know them for few days. But thee is no one else I can ask for help so maybe I could try? At least I will see what they are like and if I can trust them.
-------
I have sent them all a message to meet at the Astronomy tower at 10 pm. I have noticed Astronomy tower is a place not many people go to at night. I think we can safely discuss here.
They all arrived. Sunset, Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie, Fluttershy and Rarity. I hardly know them but I feel like I can trust them. We all are so different, I don't know will we be able to work together.
"Okay, I'll go straight to the point" I started. "I have found something on my first night at Hogwarts. There's just something mysterious about it and people going around it. I need to find out what it is. And I don't know who I can trust. Can I trust you?"
"Of course!" Sunset was first to respond.
"Duh! I love mysteries and would like to help!" Rainbow said.
"Me too!" Applejack added.
"I don't know if I will be able to help but I won't tell anyone." Fluttershy said quietly.
"You have helped me with fashion emergency. I guess it's only fair to repay you."
"Fashion emergency?" Applejack raised an eyebrow.
"It was important!"
"Alright..."
"I like adventures!" Pinkie added.
I took a deep breath. "Okay. Thanks. I know I have just met you this week but only other people I know are my brother and his girlfriend and I don't think they would help me."
Then I continued, "there is this door I've found. Something that's glowing is inside of it and I have heard screams. Door has a beware sign and is differently decorated than other doors."
"Wow!" Rainbow was surprised. "And you wanna break in? Without professors knowing?"
"Yes. I don't think they would handle it. I think we need to do it on our own."
"Breaking the rules? Maybe you are more Slytherin than you thought" Rainbow smirked. "Count me in!"
Other girls agreed too. Maybe she is right. Maybe I am more Slytherin than I thought! After all Sorting hat has said I am.
"There's also something else. Last night I went to it again and professor Discord tried to enter it."
"What?" they all were surprised.
"There's just something wrong about him! He is 20! You finish Hogwarts at 23. How did he even became a teacher?"
"Maybe he was very smart and skipped years?" Fluttershy suggested.
"Or he is looking for something" I've said. "And we need to find out what it is!"
"Maybe we can also somehow find his biography somewhere? Either his job application or grades from years at Hogwarts" Sunset suggested.
"That's an amazing idea!"
"There's one problem though" Applejack said. "Those are kept in Dumbledore's office."
"Then we need a big enough distraction that Dumbledore needs to go out and some of us can sneak in!" Rainbow said.
"Maybe we can also find the key for the room there" Rarity pointed out. "If anyone has it then it must be Dumbledore!"
"Wouldn't that be too dangerous?" Fluttershy asked. "Can't we just somehow ask professor Discord?"
"No! That would be too obvious" I answered. "Have you seen this guy? I bet he is very careful not to be discovered."
"But he seems nice."
"More like very suspicious. WAIT! Fluttershy, you and I have extra classes with him!"
"Yes."
"Maybe we can somehow find out more about him."
"I don't really want to go behind his back, he seems nice."
"Alright, then I will try to ask him and find out more."
"But wait" Applejack stopped us again. "What kind of distraction would it need to be to get Dumbledore out? Someone would need to get in big trouble."
"Leave that to me girls" Pinkie smiled.
"Okay... if you're sure"
"Don't worry, I'll have it all under control."
"When will we do it?" I asked.
"Day after tomorrow, it's Monday, all teachers have classes so it is more likely that Dumbledore will need to get out and check what's happening."
"Great! Who will go?" Rainbow asked.
"I can. I have a free period in the morning" I offered.
"Me too!" Applejack said.
"Same!" Sunset added.
"Okay 4 of us will look through the office. Pinkie Pie will distract them."
"What about Phoenix?" Applejack asked.
"Uhm... I may know a way" Fluttershy said. "But it's not nice. We need to feed him with these so he falls asleep for half an hour."
"You carry creature food with you?" I asked.
"Yes, always."
"What will I do?" Rarity asked.
"You go with Pinkie. In case Dumbledore starts to go back to office and we aren't done, let us know and try to slow him down" I said.
"Got it!"
"Everyone knows what they need to do?"
Everyone nodded.
I can't believe they all offered to help. Seems like they can be trusted. Maybe we can be friends. I would really like that. We shall see how all of this goes. And what's with professor Discord. Or in the door. And will Trixie do anything after that note? So many mysteries to uncover and I am ready for them!
