I found it! Okay, here's the next chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter Three

"I've heard some stories about Scotland," said Helga timidly. She was afraid that if she voiced her worry, Salazar would scoff, Godric would laugh and tell her she was being paranoid and Rowena would try to get the other two to be quiet and listen to Helga, and then everyone would start fighting. Helga hated fights.

"What kind of things?" chorused the other three: Salazar as though he was thinking of something else, Godric (who was just leaving to get all the luggage) sounding as though he was nearly bored out of his pants, and Rowena as though she was curious to know what was on Helga's mind.

So Helga had no choice but to tell everyone. Curse her big mouth! "Well...I've heard that there's some kind of monster that lives in Loch Ness, so we'll need to stay away from there. We wouldn't want out students being hurt by some beast." she said, reluctantly.

"What kind of monster?" said Rowena. She had heard about the beast that dwelled in the murky weeds of Loch Ness, but didn't know much about it. She was also wonering why Helga was worrying so. "We would keep clear of there anyway. There are ends upon ends of kappas and boggarts and maybe even a chimaera or two." Okay, so she was lying about the chimaera.

"My grandfather's been there. He told me that it's a giant yellow-spotted purple hippopotamus with silver horns and—"

"Whaaat?" Salazar sat up straight. "How old were you when your grandfather told you that? I mean, well really Helga, I find that hard to believe. I really doubt that the Loch Ness Monster is a silver-spotted yellow hippopotamus with purple horns or whatever it was."

"Yeah, we wouldn't want a vicious, bloodthirsty giant yellow-spotted purple hippopotamus with silver horns to eat, attack, maul, rip in half or otherwise kill a bunch of kids, after all." said Rowena. Helga laughed.

"I know, but..." She shrugged. Then, "It was last week, Salazar Slytherin, and don't you forget it!" she said, not unkindly.

Laughing merrily and no longer bored nearly out of his pants, Godric entered the room, with all their luggage levitating in front of him. "What's this I hear about giant yellow-spottedpurple-horned silver hippopotamuses?" He frowned. "No that's not right...silver spotted...silver horned yellow-spotted...oh whatever."

Helga flumped down on a suitcase. "See Sal, look what you've started!"

Everyone laughed, including Salazar, and then everyone gathered up their things and headed out the door.

"Now what?" asked Godric. Having missed most of the conversation to carry luggage, he had no idea what was going on.
