Eight Against Evil!
Ryan
Ryan looked around at his seven friends. His dark brown eyes
took in every detail of the room. The brass pitcher, the
grandfather clock, and the picture of Kimberly on his wall. His
short brown hair rustled in the breeze and he picked carelessly at a
hole in his shirt. As he looked around he sighed loudly and for a
while everyone was quiet for a second. Then Pamela broke into a
quiet giggle which slowly turned into a hugegantic laugh which made
everyone else crack up.
Kylie
Kylie cast an angry glare at Pamela. "What on earth are you
laughing at?" she demanded. "This is really serious! I think we
should tell Professor Lupin." Remus Lupin, her 3rd-year Defence
professor, was her best and favorite teacher. She had all
confidence that he would be able to help them.
Ella
Ella sat in silence next to Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.
FInally she said, "What of Voldemort--I mean You-Know-Who," she
said, glancing at Ron. Ella was a quiet girl with golden hair, sea
green eyes, and a lot of knowledge. As an exchange student from
Beauxbatons, she was 15 in the 7th year. She watched the effect on
the words as Harry blushed and Joanna said, "Well, we'll cross that
bridge when we come to it."
"We should get some sleep as we're going to Diagon Alley
tomorrow," Ella said reasonably.
Kimberly
Later, as they were trying to get to sleep, Kimberly stared at
Ryan. She was so lucky to have a guy like him. She had short
copper hair all brushed and it was now sleek and shiny. Her
chocolate brown eyes looked mysterious in the dark night. Joanna,
her closest friend in the group (besides Ryan) said, "You're
thinking of Ryan, aren't you?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry." Sometimes her obsession of Ryan annoyed
Joanna. "No problem," Joanna replied graciously.
Joanna
Joanna, trying to fall asleep, couldn't help laughing at
Kimberly's love for Ryan. It was hilarious at times, but still she
was so funny.
Ella, Joanna's best bud, was sleeping over.
"Excited?" Ella asked.
"For what? Diagon Alley?" asked Joanna.
"Yeah."
"I guess. I mean, I've been doing it for six years."
"Night."
"Night."
Pamela
Pamela watched Kylie write for some time until she asked, "Why
are you writing a LOVE letter to Lupin? I mean, he's, like, sixty!"
Kylie replied with her "I should know" voice, "No, he's only 37,
and it's not your letter. It's mine, so bug off!" Pamela and Kylie
argued for awhile before they dozed off to sleep.
Harry
"Harry, would you like some bacon? Harry? Are you awake?"
Harry stifled a yawn and looked over at Ryan, who held a plate
of bacon and looked very concerned. "Sorry, I didn't sleep very
well last night." He accepted the plate and began to serve himself.
"I didn't sleep very well either," Pamela said, with a pointed
glance at Kylie. "Kylie was up until 11:30 - writing love letters
to Professor Lupin!" Harry laughed, but stopped when he saw Kylie's
red face. "I was not writing love letters," she insisted.
"What were you writing then?" Kimberly pressed. In response
Kylie pulled out a roll of parchment and passed it to Kimberly.
Ron
A love letter? To Lupin? From KYLIE? Amazed, Ron leaned
forward and read this:
Dear Professor Lupin,
My name is Kylie Lincroft. You may not remember me, but I was
your student four years ago.
The reason that I am writing to you is because as you may have
heard, the Hogwarts 7th years - Harry's class - are going on an
exchange trip to Durmstrang in an attempt to foster magical
cooperation's. I'm worried, though, because Durmstrang is known for
teaching the Dark Arts, and the last time Hogwarts attempted to
foster magical cooperation the end result was that a student was
killed and Lord Voldemort was returned to power. Dumbledore has
assured us that the trip is perfectly safe, but as Harry's friends
we remain concerned. Please help us.
Yours sincerely,
Kylie Lincroft
Ryan
Ryan looked up at Harry and said, "Harry, I just wanted to ask,
if Voldemort kills you, can I have your radio?" It was a break from
the tension and everyone laughed, but then Kylie glared at Ryan.
She haughtily told Ryan, "This is NOT a laughing matter." But Harry
said, "Back off Kylie, we have to have some fun."
"Yeah!" Joanna chipped in.
"I just thought that we should take this seriously," Kylie said.
"Oh, lighten up Kylie! Have some fun!"
Finally, Kylie broke into an enormous grin and said, "Well,
Harry, if Ryan gets your radio, can I have your Firebolt then?"
Kylie
As everyone laughed at her question, Kylie relaxed. She had
worried that everyone would be upset that she'd confided in Lupin.
After all, Kylie trusted him, but Ella had never met him and had her
qualms about discussing Voldemort's plans with a werewolf.
After breakfast, everyone began to get ready for their trip to
Diagon Alley. Kylie quickly slipped into her room and tied the
letter to the leg of her tawny owl, Altair. "Kylie, you coming or
not?" Joanna called. "Coming," Kylie called and ran down the
stairs.
Ella
Arriving at Diagon Alley, Ella checked them all in at the Leaky
Cauldron. Then she sprinted towards the book shop. She showed the
clerk her list and started browsing. Later she met up with Kylie,
Kimberly, and Harry to go look in Quality Quidditch Supplies. Harry
was rudely ripped away from the snitches on sale and the newest
version of broom, a Firebolt 2, the newest model.
After lunch, Ella spent the whole afternoon working on improving
her broom. Her cat, Starlet, watched her closely with his piercing
eyes. Ella then went down to dinner with Pamela, Harry, and Kylie.
Kimberly
Kimberly walked out of the Leaky Cauldron with Ron, Joanna, and
Ryan. Straightaway they headed to Flourish and Blott's. There,
Kimberly gave Ryan her list (he loved getting books) and started to
read a book called Gadding With Ghouls. Ten minutes later they were
walking down the street to Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlor.
All four of them got double fudge chocolate ice cream, and sat down
to eat them. FInally, they heard Harry, Kylie, Kimberly, and Ella
yelling for them to leave.
Joanna
Arriving at Diagon Alley, Joanna went to the haircut place and
cut her hair to shoulder length. If you have a visual, you'll have
to change it, cause then she went to the beauty parlor and ended up
with straight brown hair, a light brown complexion, and brown eyes.,
When Kimberly saw her, she screamed and ran away. Kylie looked
horrified, and everyone else took one look at her and decided to go
to dinner.
Pamela
Pamela laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She told Joanna
that her hair made her look like a rabid monkey. For dinner Pamela
ordered lobster, her favorite meal. After dinner she was so tired
that she went straight to bed.
Harry
That night was a comfortable one, but all good things must come
to an end. They went on packing until Ron walked in wearing his
boxers and said, "Where's my pants?" Ella and Kimberly smacked
their foreheads and Ella looked under the bed while Harry produced
Ron's trunk. Ella grabbed his pants from the toilet. "Now put
those on before I accuse you of public stripping," Kylie instructed
him.
Ron
Ron put on his pants and his Chudley Cannon's t-shirt and Ryan
gave Ron a letter. "It's from your mum."
Dear Ron,
Bill is dead.
Love,
Mum
P.S. You can have his earring and boots.
"Yay!" Ron shouted. "Now I can have Bill's old room! And his
earring!"
Sirius & Remus
Remus Lupin gave an exasperated sigh and looked down at the pile
of papers in front of him on the desk. Normally he didn't mind
paperwork, but this was insane! Oh, well.
There was a loud bang as the door flew open and a tall man with
dark brown hair stalked in holding a piece of parchment, eyes
blazing. "Hello, Sirius," Lupin said, smiling slightly. "Bad news
in the Daily Prophet?"
To his surprise, Sirius shook his head. "Dumbledore's really
outdone himself this time," he said, unable to keep the frustration
out of his voice. "Read this." He slammed the piece of parchment
down onto the desk.
Remus picked it up and scanned it briefly. "Sirius, why have
you been reading my mail?"
"Never mind that, I'll explain later. Just read the letter."
Sighing, Remus finished reading the letter. "Well, have you
read it?" Sirius demanded impatiently, but Remus ignored him and
pulled out parchment and a quill. Quickly he dashed off a note:
Kylie-
Be in front of the Gryffindor fireplace with Harry tonight at 9:30,
I have to talk to you. Be Careful - Voldemort is not someone to be
taken lightly.
-Remus Lupin
Ryan
How Ryan found himself sitting in a circle in the compartment of
the Hogwarts Express and ready to play Truth or Dare, he didn't
know. All he remembered was Joanna and Pamela dragging him down and
saying, "You WILL play!" Ryan looked around and saw Ron and Harry
looking as miserable as him. Joanna and Pamela looked excited, Ella
and Kimberly were chattering quietly, and Kylie was ecstatic and
glancing at Ron now and then. Finally Kylie said, "Well, let's
begin."
The game was fun. Ryan had to sing "Complicated", Kimberly had
to wear one of Ron's Chudley Cannon's shirts, go into Ginny's
compartment, and say "Hi! I'm Ron Weasley!" Harry had a makeover
done by Ella. Finally it was Kylie's turn. Her dare was to kiss
Ron. Once they started, they couldn't stop!
Kylie
"Ron!" Kylie practically shouted, and Ron took a step backward,
looking confused. "What did you think you were doing?"
Ron shrugged, looking very puzzled. There was a strange look on
his face. "I dunno...that was the dare, wasn't it?"
Kylie just stared at him. "Not like that! Not in front of
everyone!"
"Well...uh..." Ron looked very uncomfortable. "What I mean is,
Kylie, um - yawannagooutwithme?" he mumbled quickly.
"yeah, sure, I guess," Kylie agreed. Ron grinned sheepishly.
His ears were red.
Just then Pamela came bursting in. "Are you done yet? I still
have to do my dare."
Ella
Ella, still smiling at the budding romance, stepped off the train
and found herself looking into the face of a pale blond boy. She
bit him and waited for Harry to show her where the Great Hall was.
Then, embarrassed as she was, sat down uncomfortably as she was
among strangers, sat down at the Gryffindor table and waited for the
sorting.
"Nervous?" asked Harry.
"Kinda..." Ella said, though she was terrified of how Dumbledore
might introduce her...or worse, how me wouldn't introduce her...
Kimberly
Kimberly sat down next to Ryan and heard Malfoy shout, "Oh,
look! Hogwarts' famous couple, Kim the Mudblood and Ryan, her lover
boy Chaser."
"Oooh, once I'm done with Malfoy he won't have that big mouth
that he keeps using," Ron said as he struggled to get up. (Kim and
Ryan were holding him down), but Harry beat Ron to it. Pointing his
wand at Malfoy, he shouted, "Engorgio!" That moment Malfoy swelled
bigger and bigger until he was as big as Hagrid. Then Harry
mumbled, "Reducio," and Malfoy went back to his normal size.
Amazed, Ella said, "Who was that?"
"Malfoy," Ron said darkly.
"Oooh, yeah! You told me about him! He's the one I bit getting
off the train."
Joanna
"That fuckin ass of a dickhead, Malfoy should go to the mental
institution and play with the insane people," Ella commented
"Yeah, and have his head cut off," said Ron sarcastically.
"Yeah!" the rest yelled.
"I was being sarcastic," Ella said.
"So? I wish it would happen," replied Joanna.
Ella rolled her eyes, and Dumbledore spoke. "Welcome," he said,
"to a new year at Hogwarts. This year an exchange student program
has begun and we will have a few new students. They will come up
now."
Ella walked up.
"Introducing..." Dumbledore was cut off by a rat walking into
the great hall. He turned into an extremely ugly human. Without
hesitation, Dumbledore said, "Avada Kedavra!" and in an instant
Pettigrew was dead.
Pamela
All through dinner Pamela teased Kylie and Ron about kissing so
Kylie and Ron decided that since everyone knew they liked each other
they might as well start going out. When Pamela heard about this
after dessert she announced to the whole school at Kylie and Ron
were officially going out!
Ron
Ron looked over at Kim and Ryan, who were sitting by the fire in
a big chair. Ryan looked so natural. He made it look so easy. Ron
decided he would ask Ryan to help him. He needed to learn how to
make Kylie like him as much as Kim liked Ryan. He knew Kylie liked
him, but not that much. Actually, she had been avoiding him lately.
Sirius & Remus
Sirius tried not to worry. He was sure that Harry could take
care of himself, knew that with his seven friends and Dumbledore
there no harm would come to him. But he still couldn't ignore the
nervous feeling in the pit of his stomach.
At 9:25, Remus came into the sitting room to find Sirius sitting
in an armchair staring into space. "Cast the spell already?" he
asked, pointing at the fire, which glowed green with magic. Sirius
nodded.
"He's going to be fine," Remus continued, sitting in a chair
near Sirius. "Don't worry about it."
Sirius nodded again, shortly. "I know." He checked his watch,
then stood, moved forward, and knelt by the fire. "Reflectere
Gryffindor common room!"
Instantly a solid wall of flame appeared in the fireplace,
revealing Harry and Kylie standing near the Gryffindor fire. Harry
jumped up and exclaimed, "Sirius!"
Sirius breathed a sigh of relief until he saw the anxiety in
Harry's eyes. "Sirius, Pettigrew's dead. Dumbledore killed him."
Ryan
Ryan had been told that Harry and Kylie needed to be in front of
the fireplace in Gryffindor Tower, so Ryan was in his dormitory,
stroking his and Kimberly's owl named Sunny. She had bright green
eyes and light brown feathers. Ron was next to him and they were
both eating some Boston Crème Donuts they stole from the kitchens
and were acting very preoccupied. "So, how do you think Sirius and
Lupin are doing?" Ryan asked.
"Dunno," Ron mumbled.
"Are you all right?" Ryan asked.
"Yeah," Ron mumbled again. So Ryan pulled out a piece of paper
and wrote:
Dear Hagrid,
Are you up for tea tomorrow? I haven't seen you in AGES!
Answer ASAP
Cheers!
-Ryan and co.
Kylie
Kylie held her breath and prayed that Sirius wouldn't be too
angry. He closed his eyes and muttered something under his breath
before calling "Remus, you might want to hear this."
Immediately Professor Lupin appeared next to Sirius. "Harry,
Kylie - hello. Sirius, what on earth is going on?"
Sirius looked grave. "Dumbledore's killed Pettigrew."
The look on Remus's face changed rapidly from surprise to
disbelief to anger before he managed to compose himself. "Tell me
what happened," he instructed Harry and Kylie. His face was pale.
Harry opened his mouth, then stopped and glanced at Kylie, who
nervously began to speak. "We had just arrived for the welcoming
feast in the Great Hall. Dumbledore was just about to introduce the
new exchange students when the door swung open and a rat walked into
the hall and turned into Pettigrew. And Dumbledore just hexed him
on the spot."
"What did everyone do next?" Remus asked.
"That's the strange part. Dumbledore said something like he was
doing a spell. Everything went dark for a second, and then everyone
just carried on like nothing had happened at all."
Remus frowned and was silent for a moment. Sirius muttered
something under his breath that Kylie was quite sure he wouldn't
have said had he known she was listening. Remus obviously had
heard, though, judging by the look he gave Sirius before turning to
Harry and Kylie. "There isn't much I can do right now except
research what might have happened. I suggest you go to bed and
don't worry about it, but be on your guard. Be careful." Yawning,
Kylie headed up the stairs to bed.
Ella
Ella, sitting in bed with a headache and a blurred mind, dressed
in her navy work robes and went down to breakfast. Harry came with
her to breakfast and gasped when he saw two twin redheads and a joke
cart. They broke into identical grins and headed towards them.
"Hello Harry, like our joke cart?"
"We sell jokes, y'know, 'cause this is the joke cart." Fred
muttered a spell under his breath and pointed his wand at Malfoy,
two feet away. In an instant, boogers flew out of Malfoy's nose and
Ella started laughing really, really hard. She then broke into an
evil smile and bought, like, 30 of everything, saying all the while,
"It might come in handy," with something like an evil glint in her
eye. She smiled scarily.
Kimberly
When Kimberly woke up the next morning, her first reaction was
"WHAT???" As she looked around Ryan came in. "Whoa! What happened
here?" Clothes were scattered everywhere. Kimberly's diary was
lying open on the floor, and all her pictures of Ryan were shredded.
"What happened?" Ryan asked.
"I don't know! I was just asking myself that same question."
Kimberly and Ryan cleaned it up when they noticed something odd.
"The page in my diary I wrote in about our suspicions about
Voldemort is ripped out. Maybe whoever is killing everyone searched
my room." Kimberly hypothesized.
Just then, Neville staggered into the room, said, "Pamela!" then
keeled over, and Kimberly and Ryan saw a knife stuck in his back.
Joanna
Joanna sat in her four-poster with crossed eyes and a dizzy
brain. What happened?l she asked herself. She took a step up and
had a cross-eyed feeling she took a step backwards. She
hiccoughed.
"Hello," she said to Ella and fainted. Next thing she knew, she
was in the Hospital wing. Evidently, Ella had brought her there.
What happened she asked herself, rubbing her head.
"Hello, dear, finally awake?" She heard a voice say, and, in an
instant, madam pomfrey stood hovering abouve holding a potion containr full
of a blue liquid."Now, drink all of this. We don't want anything happening
to you again" And with that, she walked to another bad holding none other
than Crabbe???
Pamela
Snape walked into potions and sneezed than said, "NOW WE BEGIN
OUR CLASS".
Harry said, "Is it me or is Snape looking a little weird?"
Kylie said "He does look weird."
Ella said, "Does he have a mohawk?"
"No" Ryan said 'I think its a bad hair day,"
"I dunno it does look a little like a spiked mohawk." Said Pamela.
Harry
"Shhh, class is starting," Harry whispered to Ron and Pamela.
Right on cue Professor Snape opened up a large leather-bound book
and glared at them all. "Today we will be studying the Polyjuice
Potion. Weasley, can you tell me what a Polyjuice Potion is?"
Ron froze. "Uh...it turns you into someone else."
"Right," Snape said sourly. He looked extremely displeased that
Ron had answered correctly. "For years the Polyjuice Potion has
been used as an easier method of achieving the same results as the
Homo Duplicatus Charm. The potion operates based on a sample of the
person that it will turn you into - for example a hair or toenail."
"Eeew," Joanna and Kimberly both said at the same time. "I'm
not drinking any-" Kimberly began, but Snape glared at her and she
closed her mouth.
"I have prepared a pop quiz on the subject of the potion. Mr.
Johnson," he said, calling on a Slytherin 7th year, "would you
please pass these out." The tall, burly boy picked up a stack of
papers and began to distribute them.
Harry looked down at the first question on his quiz. What is the
single most essential ingredient in the Polyjuice Potion? "Well, that's
easy," he muttered to himself. He glanced over at Ron, who was scribbling
fervently. Harry raised his quill to write - and felt a stabbing pain in
his scar.
Ron
Ron, noticing Harry reaching up to touch his forehead, said
"Harry, whats up? You've been doing this half the class."
"Err, well, It's my scar to make a long story short and it hurts
like hell!"
"Don't let Ella hear you cuss like that"
Ella, hearing her name looked up from her long assortment of
notes. "Are you discussing me over there?" came her hoarse whisper.
"No," Ron said, "Harry's scar hurts"
"Ten points from Gryffindor for talking when you should be note-
taking." Said Snape, "Miss Dowling, I expect better from you."
"Yes, sir," Ella replied.
After class was over Ella came over to Harry and Ron. "Thanks a
lot you guys, now I'm the class troublemaker"
"Hardly" Said Harry
"Better you than me," said Kylie.
"Thanks ever so, Kylie"
"Any time"
Ella rolled her eyes. "Well, I've got an essay due tomorrow on
vampires for Defense Against the dark arts, I'd better finish it,"
"How much is it, the normal two?"
"I'm not sure, but I'm not taking any chances, you'd better get
a planner pronto, Kylie"
Kylie looked grim, "But what was up with Harry?"
"The usual"
"Scar?"
"Duh" Said Ella, "Well, I've gotta go to Arithmancy, see ya
after class!"
Ron looked after her "Just like Hermione." He muttered.
"Don't let her hear you say that, she'll take offense, "said Harry,
laughing.
Sirius & Remus
When he has first started reading, Remus had been confident that
he'd find something quickly. He was good at research, and it
couldn't be that difficult to find the right spell...or could it?
After nearly three hours of fruitless effort, he was beginning to
wonder.
He was engrossed in his book, and the knock at the door was so
faint that he didn't realize he was alone until he felt a light tap
on his shoulder. He spun around to see Sirius standing there. "Why
on earth are you reading Practical Applications of Advanced Charms
at 11:30 PM?" Sirius questioned, glancing at the book in his
friend's hands. "You know we've got that meeting with Dumbledore
tomorrow, if you fall asleep in the middle he'll never forgive you."
Remus ignored the lie at the end of the sentence. "It's 11:30?"
he asked, quickly checking his wristwatch. Sure enough, the tiny
gold hands pointed to the Roman numerals XI and VI. "How on earth
did I manage not to notice?" he wondered quietly.
"That doesn't matter now," Sirius said impatiently. "Look, I-"
Whatever he was going to say, it was forgotten instantly as
Remus turned the page of the book. "Look! There it is?"
"What-" Remus asked, then looked down at the page. "Yes," he
said slowly. "That's it, all right."
Ryan
Ryan looked around the common room at his friends. How was he going
to tell them. "Uh guys.... He said. I have something to tell you.
My mums sick and my brother Toby says that one o us is going to have
to leave Hogwarts. I'm pretty sure it'll be Toby because he's in
his 7th year." ' Oh Ryan I'm so sorry. Whats the matter with your
mum?" ' I think it some spell that SOMEONE put on her. And if I
ever find out who it is I'll......" Ryan made a violent gesture in
midair. " You sound like me!' Ron exclaimed. and everybody laughed.
Ding dong. It was time to go to bed.
Kylie
Kylie was up late that night, poring through book after book.
She knew that it was no good that either Ryan or Toby would have to
leave Hogwarts and it was probably hopeless, but she was still
convinced that there was something she could do. And although the
size of Dialectical Interpretations of Medicinal Magic: Spells,
Curses, and Cures was quite daunting (along with the flabbergasting
title), it wasn't all that bad, really...only about a trillion words
per page...
She yawned and checked her watch. It was a bit past midnight -
if she was up any later, she'd fall asleep in Defence Against the
Dark Arts the next day, and she didn't want to miss her favorite
class. Sighing, she shoved a bookmark into the book, set it on her
bedside table, and prepared to crawl into bed.
That was when she heard a scream from the boys' dormitory. A
scream that she recognized as Ron's.
"Ron!" she shouted. Before she had a chance to think she was out of
bed and racing toward the boy's dormitory, her bare feet pounding on the
cold stone floor.
Ella
A startled Ella woke up from a scream from the boys' dormitory.
Ella Yawned and then was totally awake as another ear-splitting
scream formed in the dorm across from hers. Without thinking, she
gave her warning knock and barged into the boys' dorm, Kylie on her
heels.
"What's up?" Ella was barely heard above Ron and Harry's loud
screams.
Kylie rushed to Ron's side. "Ron!!" Kylie hollered, "What's
happened??"
Evidently, Malfoy'd used a secret passage and Ron was covered
with boils. Harry wasn't screaming, he was laughing. Malfoy'd used
curses on them both. Ella ran to her dorm for her book on counter
curses. She returned shortly with Magical Aligments and Remedys in
tow.
Kim walked in screaming, thinking it was Ryan, but Ryan was
still sound asleep while a startled Seamus and dean were looking
alarmed, sitting on Harry's abandoned bed.
Ella completed the counter curses and said, "What happened?"
Evidently, a magical rabid mountain lion had roared and they'd
been cursed. Ella shivered. It could've happened in the girls'
dorm and there were more girls in The Marauderettes than boys. Ella
thought that none of the boys were smart enough to use a counter
curse (except maybe Harry. Ron would be shocked over Kylie and Ryan
over Kim).
Dumbledore walked in and Harry felt a searing pain in his forehead. It
was gone as soon as it started. Harry couldn't help but think that
somewhere, Voldemort was alive and waiting...
Kimberly
When she heard Ron scream, a streak of panic ran through her. What if he were hurt or worse yet, ryan was hurt? She threw her blankets off her and raced down to the boys dormitory. Luckily Ryan was safe. A little shocked, but safe. " What's the matter Ron?" Kimberly urged. " Snape... Snape was here. I swear it." Just then Kylie and Ella rushed in. " Are you O.K. Ron?" Kylie asked as she sat down on his bed. I'm fine!" he practically shouted " but I swear Snape was here! I would swear on my life. Or on Kylie's!" " Calm down man. We believe you. Just take deep breaths. In 1-2-3-4- 5-6-7-8-9-10." Ryan said jokingly. Where did you see Snape, Ron?" Ella asked reasonably. Over there." Ron said and he pointed to the door. Joanna
Joanna sat up in bed and stared up at the ceiling thinking about what she'd just heard. the guy had said, "And the next person taken will be the one closest to you" That would be one of the others!! Was this just some silly dream, or a warning?? Joanna had trouble falling back to sleep after that, but, as Ella crept back into bed, she slowly drifted off. Meanwhile, Ella was in the common room...
Ella, still thoroughly shocked about the whole ordeal, sat next to Harry in the common room. "Bloody Hell, this has been a night," Said Ella after sitting in silence for a whole ten minutes, "I mean...Snape? Did he not save your life when you were eleven?" "Yea, but, well, I just don't know. Snape can be pretty sour, but he's not this bad." replied Harry. They sat in silence for a long time. the clock struck eleven o- clock. "Well, I'm gonna need some rest. I mean, I have Potions first tomorrow. Ugh!" said Ella. "See you in the morning then. Have a good rest," Ella walked up the stairs, really scared. If Snape had done this then should they tell Dumbledore? And what exactly happened, anyways? Ron seemed a little out of it when he told them what happened. but, then again, he swore it on Kylie's life. That had to be accounted for. And Kylie was no laughing matter. Especially with Ron. Ella lay looking at the ceiling for what seemed like forever, but finally fell asleep. She faintly heard the clock strike three........... In the morning, Joanna was woken up by Kylie roughly shaking her. Ella wasn't in the bed and there was a note written in what looked like blood next to Joanna's bedside table reading "You didn't heed my warning, now she shall suffer for what you did" Joanna fainted.
When she heard Ron scream, a streak of panic ran through her. What if he were hurt or worse yet, ryan was hurt? She threw her blankets off her and raced down to the boys dormitory. Luckily Ryan was safe. A little shocked, but safe. " What's the matter Ron?" Kimberly urged. " Snape... Snape was here. I swear it." Just then Kylie and Ella rushed in. " Are you O.K. Ron?" Kylie asked as she sat down on his bed. I'm fine!" he practically shouted " but I swear Snape was here! I would swear on my life. Or on Kylie's!" " Calm down man. We believe you.
