Track Change
Hogwarts Interdimensional Express
“What do you mean, he’s been to over fifty stations in the past ten minutes?” Alpha
Draco snapped, fingernails almost digging into the brittle old parchment of the map.
“Draconius Malfoy from track Tau Omicron Eta has visited approximately fifty tracks
since you left the station a few short minutes ago,” the tinned female voice said calmly,
apparently unconcerned by the fact that there were three Dracos in her train, running the gamut of
emotions from mildly concerned to furious to insanely stark raving mad. “In every case, when he
returns to the Express, he brings with him another Harry Potter.”
Alpha Draco leaned back heavily against the wall, horrified. “Well... where is he taking
them?”
There was a moment’s silence, then: “I am not certain. I have not seen where precisely he
is going.”
“How could you not...” Beta Draco frowned, then stood, and reached forward to touch the
map. “How could you not know where he is going?”
“He is leaving the station, then taking them somewhere else, via the Room of
Requirement. I do not know where he is taking them.”
“Fucker,” Gamma Draco snarled, slamming his fist down on the weathered white plastic
seat beside him. “So what do we do now?!”
“We...” Alpha Draco frowned, pausing for a moment, then straightened, smirk growning
slightly on his pale face. “We created the potion, originally, to track Draconius. We had no idea
in the beginning that it would allow us access to this train. We didn’t even know it existed. So
think about it - we can use that potion to track Draconius. It’ll be as simple as that, really. We
just follow him!”
Beta Draco frowned. “Is that possible?”
Alpha Draco sighed. “It’s possible. We might as well try.”
“We need to try something,” Gamma Draco snapped once. “Let’s go.”
Moments later, three Draco Malfoys faltered off of an interdimensional train that did,
admittably, warn them to avoid the slightly dangerous gap, and stumbled into a room that looked
remarkably like the Slytherin Common Room.
Moments later, Alpha Draco was against a wall with a wand in his throat, a furious
Omicron Zeta Draco in his face. “What did you do with him you bastard?!”
“I think we missed Draconius,” Beta Draco said lightly, leaning against the wall beside
where Alpha Draco was pinned. “Draco Malfoy, I presume?”
“Wha - the hell?!”
“Essentially our reaction in a nutshell,” Beta Draco nodded. “He stole your Harry, didn’t
he?”
Slowly, Omicron Zeta Draco stepped back, lowering his wand. “Yes. I don’t know why -
we did everything he told us to, we searched the vault, we found the documents he was talking
about, we even managed to break the vigneti et vigneti charm on Harry... I don’t understand why
he did this.”
“Harry has a vigneti et vigneti charm on him?” Alpha Draco frowned, rubbing his neck.
“Hmm. Wouldn’t have expected that.”
“That’s not the point,” Gamma Draco snarled, then nodded once, curtly, to Alpha Draco.
“Give him the potion.”
“What potion?” Omicron Zeta Draco asked, snapping his head back to look at the other.
Alpha Draco reached into his cloak. “I’m going to need your hair.”
