"Wait, we have to go all over the Isle in search of these things so the girls can wake up?" Ben asked, breaking the ominous silence in the library. "That's what the paper said," Five sighed, trying to push away the thought of him and Nicky having to say goodbye to Maisie. Klaus B walked over to the scroll side of the library, pulling out a map of the Isle and rolling it out on the table. "Alright, so Wake-up berries are on the outskirts of the Isle, so I would assume that they would be in the forest near the beach," he stated.
"Okay then, and the crystal water should near Glorious Cove, about 3 miles out," Ben said, his finger skimming to the depiction of the large Cove. "Then, that only leaves the Witches Charm. Where are we supposed to get that?" Nicky looked out the library window. Down the dirt road, he saw a nearby antique shop that sold ancient artifacts that Dusk and some explorers discovered. Including things that belonged to former witches. He thought that there was a chance a Witches Charm could be there.
"We could try the antique shop. The owner is all about magic and wizardry," Nicky suggested. The other men looked up at him, catching a glimpse of the shop. "He's right. Ms. Lovegood used to go to Hogwarts. She might know a thing or two about witches' charms," Five nodded in agreement. "How do you know Ms. Lovegood?" Klaus B asked. Five slowly took a frustrated breath, looking at the Baudelaire boy with a glare. "Maisie's parents went to Hogwarts. Did you forget that?" He explained through gritted teeth.
Klaus B looked at Five with wide eyes but nodded furiously, wrapping up the map as they got ready to head to the shop, hoping that Ms. Lovegood could be of some help to them.

"A Witches Charm? Since when have you been obsessed with spells?" Ms. Lovegood asked, poking her head out from under the counter as Nicky asked for some Witch Charms. "Dusk and the other girls had fallen under the Sleeping Spell. We need a charm in order to wake them up," Klaus H calmly explained. "The Sleeping Spell? I have never heard of such spell before,"
"It's dark magic," Five clarified, internally rolling his eyes. Luna's eyes grew wide at the mention of the words, cowering underneath the counter once more. "Luna, calm down. He who must not be named is dead, remember?" Quigley whispered as he got on his knees, meeting her gaze and bringing her out of her hiding spot. "Right. I'm sorry, I can't help you," Luna sadly shook her head. "You don't have one?" Klaus B questioned.
"Unfortunately, I sold my last one yesterday," The six men looked at each other, all asking themselves the same question, Who did she sell it to? "To who, if I may ask?" Ben inquired. Luna squinted her eyes, furrowing her brow as she tried to remember who it was. As time went on, Luna's memory began to fade, and the only kind of memories she remembered was from her time in Hogwarts.
"A girl... she had hair the color of corn, I believe. She wore a black cloak... with the Slytherin logo on it. She called herself DS. She bought the charm, claiming something about getting revenge on her enemies. I don't remember the details all too well," Luna strained. "That's okay. You've us what we needed. Thank you for help," Five, Nicky, and the others walked out of the small shop. Their eyes were wide as saucers as they knew who they were up against and was responsible for putting their girls in a trance.
"No. It can't be her! Out of all the villains! She's the one that came back!" Five growled, pacing back and forth in the library. "How is that even possible? I thought we defeated her!" Klaus H sighed as he pondered how she came back. "I thought so too! She's worse than The Handler! And even worse than that sick boyfriend of hers!" Five's rage inside him grew, almost reaching its peak. "Dawn's not only messing with The Creative Crew. She's messing with us! There's no doubt in my mind, she wants us too," Five hissed.
"Why would she want us, though? We're not leading the Isle," Klaus B asked. "Why do you think, glasses? Dawn Stone wants our souls! She tried doing it to us before, remember? That's what got her kicked to Misery Isle!" Five reminded Klaus B, who pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "Okay, even if Dawn is behind this and she got the last Witches Charm, where would she be? Her cabin was given to Maisie when she arrived at the Isle, so there's no way she could be there!" Nicky questioned.
As the questions continued to flood in, Klaus H sat at the table, multiple images going through his mind. Some were of Dusk and her unconscious body, some were of the woods, but one that made him let out a squeak was the image of a dimly lit cabin in the center of the spooky part of the forest.

"Guys, everyone just shut up for a moment," Klaus spoke up, making everyone at the table quiet down.
