Outside Hogwarts (Main Gate)
Threed darted behind a boulder and peered over its top.
"Hmm," was all he muttered before revealing a pair of binoculars from his coat and putting them to his face.
Kit's eyes rolled so hard one would think them in danger of being stuck.
"What are you doing now?""Be careful rolling your eyes like that," Threed replied.
"They may get stuck." He returned to the binoculars. Scouting the area beyond the gate, he noticed a few wizards going about, holding their wands or carrying broomsticks, but otherwise the campus seemed fairly light in activity.
"Looks like they have a sentry on the left . . . and one on the right." Kit opened her mouth to say something, but Threed jerked her behind the boulder and to his side.
"They're armed with five-five-sixers and pineapples."". . . What?""Well, I can't just knock on the door and ask them to let us in." Threed continued almost forgetting Kit was there.
In response to this, Kit stood up and walked over to the floo fire, revealing a pen and paper, and began to write.
"Kit? What are you doing? Get back here and help me conduct reconnaissance."She ignored Threed and continued writing.
To Whom It May Concern,
I'm Kit ibn Kit, and me and my partner, Threed Fourson, have come from far away.
We are . . . detectives trying to apprehend fugitives, and believe Hogwarts may be in danger.
Even us telling you this may potentially put you in the crosshairs of some very bad, very powerful people.
Time is of the essence, and we would appreciate your cooperation.
Regards,
- Kit
"Done." She casually threw the note in the fire and leaned against the gate.
"You can come out of hiding now, Bravo Six. All we had to do was write a missive and drop it in this fire."Threed slowly stood up from his hiding place.
"Hmm? O-Oh! I knew that! I was only testing your stealth skills and luckily for you, you've passed. Marginally, though. So we'll have to have you train in recon and intelligence before you enter into the big leagues.""Right. Now hush for once and wait. The person in charge has ten minutes to get back to us. Not complicated at all.""I'm going to keep gathering intel from my vantage point, just in case.""You do that."And so, the duo waited for a response . . .
