Storms Ahead

|Chapter Seventy six : Locked In|

"It's in the changing room"

"Where? Is it in a box?"

"Just look for the brown trunk, you should be able to lift it"

"What do you mean 'should be'? I probably will" I told Miles laughing as he stood outside the changing room and I walked in, scanning the room for the trunk as I caught sight of a pair of feet on the other side of the room as I looked up as me and Malfoy stared at each other

"What're you doing in here?" We asked at the same time as I caught sight of the trunk on top of the lockers as he followed my gaze and a surprised look grew on his face

"I'm here to get that trunk, Miles told me to come in and get it"

"No, Flint told me to come in and get it" he told me as I stood there confused, turning around just as the door snapped shut and the lock clicked from the outside as we both simultaneously ran over to it as we started banging on it and shouting

"Open the fucking door Miles! This isn't funny!"

"Neither of you are coming out until you're on talking terms!"

"Are you insane Flint?!"

"I swear to god if none of you open this door right fucking now I'll hex you all into the next bloody century!" I shouted as everyone on the other side of the door fell quiet and I started laughing, walking away from the door as Draco sent me a look while I searched my pockets, not finding my wand as I continued to laugh

"What are you finding so funny?"

"They've got our wands" I told him laughing and watched as he looked away from me and searched his pockets before glaring at the door as he kicked it and walked back and forth as I looked at my watch with a quiet sigh

"Well come on then"

"What?"

"You're supposed to be smart. Get us out of here" he said annoyed as I raised my eyebrows at him before walking over to my locker as I pulled my bag out and searched the side pockets, stopping when I found them empty and I felt an annoyed smile grow on my face as I put it back before wandering over to the door

"What one of you went through my bag and took my kirby grips? Because I swear to god when I find out who's been rummaging around in my bag: I'll kick their ass that fucking hard you won't be able to sit on it for a month" I spat as everybody stayed silent, as I hit the door and heard the scramble of feet before I turned to him

"Look for something you can pick a lock with-"

"Why? I can't pick a bloody lock-"

"Well obviously you can't. That's why I'll do it if we find anything useful-"

"You're wasting your time Amelia! We took everything out of there that could be used to pick locks!" Adrian shouted as I let out a hollow laugh

"Adrian?"

"Yes?"

"If I make it out of here within the next minute I'm going to cut your head off and stick it on a pole and carry it around with me" I growled before walking to the back of the room where the showers were as I scanned around for another door, a window, anything

"This is the only door in here, Amelia"

"I'm sorry, what?"

"What? Are you deaf now?"

"No, I heard you plainly. I also heard you say my name" I said to him as I stuck my head out of the door and looked at him from where he had dumped himself down on the floor with his head against the door as he leant against it with a bored look before I sighed and walked back in, coming out a few minutes later as I laid down on the bench and tugged my gloves off as I threw them to the ground angrily as I rubbed my face and groaned

Lifting my head awhile later I let out another laugh as I glanced at my watch, ten minutes having passed as Draco shot me another look

"What in the name of Merlin are you laughing at now?"

"I'm getting us out of here" I told him amused as I sat up and swung my legs over before getting up and wandering over to the door as he looked up at me, failing to move

"Are you going to move?"

"Are we getting out?"

"If you move" I told him as he thought about it for a moment before pushing himself to his feet as he dusted himself off and I took a couple of steps away from the door as I cracked my fingers before lifting my leg as I kicked the door at the lock, watching as a dent appeared

"What in the name of Merlin are you doing?!"

"It's just pure mindless vandalism" I told him as I kicked the door again, watching as the wood started to dent inwards even more

"Are you mentally deficient?!" He asked loudly as I gave the door one last forceful kick, the thin wooden door unable to hold against my kicks as a fist sized hole appeared and I turned to him

"If I was mentally deficient, I would've missed" I told him as he stared at the door wide eyed before I pushed my hand through the hold and reached around as I unlocked it from the other side as the lifesaving click could be heard and I pulled my hand back and let the door swing open as Draco stood at my side with a small smirk as I looked at the rest of the team who stood on the other side of the door with slightly pale faces

"We didn't think this through"

"No Bletchley, you didn't... now! Who was the twat that decided to take things from my bag? Hmm?" I asked as I plastered a smile on my face and watched as they all turned to Adrian as he looked anywhere but at me

"Oh Pucey... big fucking mistake"
