Thinking back Sky knew she shouldn't have gotten angry although she couldn't let that idiot get away with what he said about her mum. She wanted to cause him as much pain as possible he had been bullying her since she turned him down when he asked her out in the third year, that was nearly three years ago, she was sixteen now and was so different from what she was like then, then she would of done anything to have fitted in, but now that she was alone she couldn't care less whether or not she fitted in. She had cursed the boy this distracted his friends, which made it possible for her to run off. She ran up here where she thought no one could find her. She'd come here before during the night when she couldn't sleep, the nights that she had nightmares of her mother, and of what's happened to her. She spent many hours up here thinking about life and why she existed. She was starting to lose faith in God. She thought that if there was one then why was he torturing her in this way? Why did he take everything away from her when she was happy?

Sky was on top of the Durmstrang castle looking down at the ground, the wind was blowing, and got even stronger as Sky got angrier. She shouted out to the darkening sky above "why are you torturing me in this way? Why cant you stop what's happening to me? Protect and help me like your suppose to…" she walked closer to the edge of the roof.

"Why pick on me? Please end this pain, otherwise I will, I mean yeah I could do it, I know noone will stop me not even you" she looks up at the sky "do you know why? Its because no-one cares about what happens to me, why should they?" she got angrier and started shouting, as it started to rain heavily "I'm nothing, I'm worthless. I don't even deserve to live!" the sky started to clear as the rain slowed down, Sky looked over the edge "me jumping would be better for everyone … but you know what?" she spat "you're not worth it, none of you are".

Just as she said this Karkaroff stormed out of the door behind her

"That is it Miss Black you are out of here! You have done enough damage around here pack your bags you are going!"

Sky looked at him "where am I going to go?" she said worried

"Ill talk to Dumbledore see if he wants you in his school, maybe you can disgrace his school as much as you have this one!" he wrinkled up his nose in disgust

Sky stormed past him and walked to her common room, when she got to the statue outside the entrance she said the password and entered. She looked around as she walked in, the only occupants of the room were the boy she cursed with her wand and his friends, Sky walked past them as fast as she could and ran up the stairs to her dormitory. She slammed the door behind her, and walked over to her owl Midnights cage, it was empty Midnight was still out. She walked over to her bed; she collapsed onto it and started crying. Here she cried many times, here she cried herself to sleep. She learned that this was the only safe place to cry, you never cry when your around people, you never cry anywhere but your dormitory. If you cried it was a sign of weakness and then you'll have everyone start on you, she had to keep strong to have people leave her alone. She was able to do this with no problem before her mum... She was able to hide her emotions but now the tears were always on the edge ready to take over, it took her a lot to not cry and now she was tired, tired of hiding away from the world, tired of crying, tired of being alone. She turned around at the sound of the dormitory door slamming, and saw the last person that she would ever want to see … Dominick … her tormentor. He was standing at the bottom of her bed. Sky shot up off of her bed and grabbed her wand "what do you want!" she said viciously wiping her eyes

"Aww it has feelings, … don't look at me like that Black or you'll regret it"

"If you touch me I swear I will..."

"You will what? You'll curse me? … Expelliarmus!" and Sky's wand flew into his hand "What are you gonna do now your unarmed? Are you going to get your Daddy on me? Or perhaps your mummy?" he said in a baby voice, he looked at Sky who had tears forming in her eyes "oh that's right I forgot …" He smirked "you don't have a mother do you" he walked closer to her, and she backed into the wall as he stood in front of her "you don't even have a father … now what happened to them? Oh yeah they where killed because of there own stupid mistake … you"

Sky feeling the anger rise in her slapped him across the face, causing Dominick's face to go on the side; he put a hand to his face where she slapped him and turned to look at her "your gonna regret that!" and he slapped her back and she fell to the floor crying while holding her face.

Sky stood up slowly, her hand still on where he slapped her. Sky looked up at him and lunged at his arm where he was holding her wand; she managed to get hold of it but didn't see Dominick swing his fist around, which caught her straight on the side of her face. She fell to the floor again and moved over to the wall, where she cried more.

Dominick walked over to her and grabbed her hair and pulled it so she was facing him

"Now you will learn Sky, that has made me angry! And you know what I do when I get angry, don't you ever think of doing something like that again or you will pay, now ill let you off today but if you try anything like that again then you will pay". He let go of her hair and said, "Now stand up!" Sky stood up.

The door opened and Karkaroff entered the room, he looked from Dominick to a crying Sky and said, "what is going on here?"

"Don't worry sir she was crying and said that she wanted some comfort" Sky looked at him surely Karkaroff wouldn't believe his false explanation, but he did.

"Ok off you go Dominick" he turned to Sky who was standing with her hand covering her face. He looked round the room and saw that she hadn't packed, he done a spell and all of her stuff was packed into her trunk. "Dumbledore has agreed to take you only I don't see why he would, now follow me and we will put you in the Knight bus to Diagon Alley. And as there is only one week of school left before the summer you will start at Hogwarts after the holiday when everyone goes back"

He left the Dormitory with Sky following him dragging her trunk, her owls cage, which was strapped to the top, and holding her firebolt broomstick which was the last thing her dad brought her when he was on the run from Azkaban. Karkaroff walked her to the Knight bus and helped her put her stuff in it. He left without saying goodbye. Sky seated herself down on a seat as Stan told Ernie to go. He was reading a newspaper when he said "oh I nearly forgot Dumbledore told me to give this to you, he gave it to us when he flagged us down outside Hogwarts so he could tell us to come collect you" Stan handed her the letter

She ripped it open and read it

Dear Miss Black,

I am pleased to tell you that I have accepted you to come to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, I believe that you will need to come somewhere new to complete your studies as you are no longer able to study at your old school.

Professor Karkaroff seemed surprised that I would accept you after all the 'stories' he has told me about how you are a disgrace, which I don't believe. If you are like your father Sirius than I will find your behaviour quite hilarious as your father was quite a funny student at my school, and he amused me with his antics a lot over the years that he studied here. I have paid for you to have a room at the leaky cauldron over the holidays and your key to your fathers vault will be in an envelope on your bed there, his vault number is 791. He left you some gold in his vault for your future; I believe that you can use this to get you books and equipment. He gave me the key to look after, as he seemed to believe that you would end up at Hogwarts.

I look forward to meeting you when term starts on 1st September on platform 9 ¾ Tom the barman will take you to the station on that day. Enclosed is also a list of all the school supplies that you will need for the term ahead.

Yours faithfully

Albus Dumbledore

Sky read the letter over and over again, till Stan turned to her and said "you're the next stop if you would like to get your stuff ready."

The knight bus stopped outside the leaky cauldron, where Tom the barman was waiting for her he smiled as she got off of the bus "well good evening miss Black" he clicked his fingers and Sky's trunk, owls cage and broom disappeared. "Your possessions have gone up to your room" He said seeing her confused look "by the way you owl has arrived here and she is waiting in your room"

Tom took her to her room and left to get her some dinner, which appeared, on a table by her bed. Sky stroked Midnight on the head; Midnight had flown on to Sky's shoulder as she entered the room. Midnight was a beautiful barn owl, which was pure black, although in the light it looked like she had blue in her feathers. Sky gave Midnight a bit of her toast (which Sky had asked for with her dinner) and said "well Midnight looks like we're going to Hogwarts" she smiled as she leant out of the window, knowing that she would never have to return to Durmstrang.
