(Connor POV)
As we walked back from lunch, I started to realize that this was a super sudden thing for them to choose to do, and from with our conversation this morning, most remains a mystery to even McGonagall.
After our lesson finished and we peacefully ate dinner, McGonagall brought us up to our room and bid us farewell.
As the girls were finishing up in the bathroom, I started small talk to learn more about Derrick.
"How'd you learn how to pick a lock," I asked turning from where I was to face him.
"My father was a locksmith, didn't make the big bucks, but he enjoyed tinkering with the mechanisms in machines."
"Do he also introduce you to sports, you seem to have a great build and I'm pretty sure you talked about doing a sport earlier."
"I did a lot of sports when I was younger but I stuck with baseball being on some teams, but I quit most and just played with friends."
As he finished speaking the door opened a girls quickly left for the "safety" of their locked door.
Me and Derrick made our way into the bathroom, and quickly went to bed. Sleeping in my clothes like I have done dozens of times before, but I reached into the chest pulling out a gas mask with designed green flames licking up it.
When I heard Derricks snoring, I went out the door while putting on my lucky mask.

I made my way quickly and quietly up the enormous flight of stairs. I didn't wait for them to spin and turn just leaping onto others that were above me. Marking my up to the top of this tower where my targets were sleeping.
I stood in front of the door slowly turning the handle until I felt enough give for me to open it. As I opened it I was met with the muffled sound of loud snoring.
Must be SOUND asleep I thought making my way towards the door where it was coming from. Half way down the hall to door. The door I came through closed with what seemed to be the wind, but the sound of the lock turning alerted me that this wasn't the wind.
I spun around before I felt sharp pain and loud boom rang out in my head as a masked figure in desert camo stepped out from behind the gap where the door swings open and meets the wall. I put my hand on my head and felt a hot liquid touch it. Before I brought my hands down to look at them, more loud booms sounded out followed almost immediately by a pain.
As I shook out of the pain and opened my eyes from the shock, I found my self back in the tavern I was in originally.
"This'll be an interesting hunt," I said to myself letting a chuckle escape from my lips.

"Bro what the fuck," as I approached the man holding his head while firing more shots, his body turned to shadows and disappeared.
The only thing left where he stood were a sharp blade and weird looking voodoo doll looking thing.
As I stood there both Derricks door and the girls door open, wand in all their hands.
"Already taken care of go back to sleep," I said while making my way back to the position I was hidden in before the assailant showed up.
