So Paul couldn't feel the writing on her arm, but she has felt more pain than that.

The twins were selling their pranks in the common room well Paul sat in front of the fire reading her favorite muggle book, Heidi, and Hermione sat next to her and looked at her arm.
"Are you sure you don't know what happened?"
"Yes, I left muggle studies and walked to Umbridge's office for detention and she had me write lines."
"I will not complain about the material I am given in class."
"Yes, how did you know?"
"It's written on your arm."
"What!?" Paul looked at the scars as they started to slowly fade.
"Did you use anything she gave you?"
"Yeah, she gave me a quill." Paul realized what happened. "It was enchanted."
"You have to report this." Hermione said as she examined the fading scars.
"And give Umbridge the satisfaction. I don't think so."
"What the matter?"
"Seamus asked as he walked over seeing Paul arguing with Hermione. Paul pulled her sleeve over the scars.
"Nothing."

The next day Paul walked out to the woods and sat under a tree to read. The cold air seemed to warm around her. When Paul looked up one of the horse like creatures was standing a little bit away.
"Come here little thestral." She said as she held her hand out to the creature. It was only a baby. "Its okay."
"Who are you talking to Paul?" Seamus asked as he walked closer.
"The thestral, Luna told me about them. Only people that have seen death can see them. That's why the others can't see them." She said as she petted the thestral.
"Are you okay? Paul, there isn't anything there?"
"Once you've seen death look at the carriages at the beginning of the year. That when I first saw them, same as Harry." She took a breath. "Because we saw Cedric die."
"But Harry and Malfoy were the only ones there."
"I-I saw it to. I, I can see the future."
"What?"
"I can see the future, I saw Cedric being killed. The only reason Malfoy can't see them is because he had his back turned to Cedric and jumped out of the way of the curse."
"Paul, you-know-who is not back."
"Yes he is. I'm the only one who can know for sure." She showed him her scar. "He gave this to me when my parents were killed. Just like Harry. Only when the dark lord has some flicker of power my scar glows, it's stupid really, it's like the moon. The one night it glowed to brightest was the night my parents were killed. And the night Cedric was killed." She turned and started to pet the thestral.

"Do you ever stop eating?" Hermione asked Ron.
"He's just hungry all the time." Paul said "I should know, I live with him and he would eat the table if we let him."
"It's true." Ginny said. Then they heard arguing outside of the great hall and everyone gathered out to see professor McGonagall and professor Umbridge arguing. Paul reached into her pocket and pulled out a firework with Umbridge's name on it, literally. Paul took her wand out and whispered a charm and it went off. It whizzed around the room mocking everything she had said in class. And in her office with Paul.
"Write I will not complain about material I am given in class." It went right above her head. "You may leave now!" and it exploded. Everyone started to laugh as Umbridge jumped.
"Things at Hogwarts are worse than I feared." She said as she stepped up the stairs. "Cornelius will want to take action immediately!"

The few weeks everyone was reading the daily prophet that was saying everything about what was happening at Hogwarts. Over the weeks Paul and Seamus had become very close and started to go out. One day Paul and Seamus were snogging on a bench in the halls and Umbridge walked by and waved her wand and they flew to opposite sides of the bench. She would correct the way the uniforms were worn and interview the teachers in class. But worst of all she would stop the pranks that the twins would do to entertain the students. Everyday a new rule was made.
"Could you give me one tinsy prediction?" Umbridge asked the divinations teacher.
"I'll give her a prediction." Paul whispered. Then she spaced out. Her favorite teacher, divinations teacher, standing in the courtyard with her trunk begging for another chance.

"We're not learning how to defend ourselves,"
"What happened earlier?" Paul had not been there to see the divinations teacher almost get banished from the grounds.
"Umbridge tried to banish professor Trelawney." Hermione said
"Oh no, I saw it but I didn't think it was today."
"Where were you? We haven't seen you in between classes."
"Oh, well I was, um, reading." Paul said her cheeks red.
"No you weren't. You're lying, I can tell." Ron said.
"Yes I was, I was reading in the woods with the thestrals."
"Luna told us about them, the things we see pulling the carriages." Harry said. "Only people who have seen death can see them." Paul walked over to a chair by the fire and sat down looking dreamily into space. "Paul," Harry waved his hand in front of her face. "Paul," he said. Her sight was still out in space.
"Maybe she's having a vision?"
"Or maybe she's just gone loony like Loony Lovegood." Ron said.
"No she hasn't, she's most likely having a vision." Hermione said. She pinched Paul on the arm and she jumped.
"Ow, what was that for?"
"Were you having a vision?"
"Oh, uh, well, um," she turned red. Then Seamus walked into the room from the hall and walked up the stairs. Paul looked at him for a moment and made eye contact with him before he entered the stair well.
"Paul?" Hermione asked. "What was your vision?"
"Um, well, I, uh, wasn't really having a vision." Then the clock struck midnight. "We should get to bed, Harry will think of something tonight." With that she ran up to the girls dormitories and fell asleep.

"This is mad, who's going to want to be taught by me."
"Harry shut up." Paul said.
"Who supposed to mean us then?"
"Just a couple of people." Hermione said. They entered an old bar.
"Lovely spot."
"Thought it would be safer,"
"Somewhere off the beaten path." Paul finished. They walked into a room where everyone who came was sitting. Hermione got up and started to talk.
"I'm not here to talk about Cedric, and if that's what you all came for then you can just clear out." Harry said. Paul felt her stomach drop like a rock, his name still cut daggers in her heart.
"Is it true you can produce a patronus charm?" Luna asked.
"Yes," Hermione said for Harry. "I've seen it. "
"Blimey, Harry. I didn't know you could do that." Dean said.
"And he killed a basilisk." Neville said. "With a sword in Dumbledore's office."
"It's true." Ginny said.
"And last year he really did fight of you-know-who in the flesh." Hermione said.
"What," Harry said. "Look, it all sounds great when you say it like that, but the truth about that is that it was just luck. And I didn't know what I was doing half the time, and I all ways had help."
"He's just being modest." Hermione said. Paul spaced out and saw a big door as she and Neville were looking around for something, she couldn't tell what. When she came to everyone was signing a piece of paper.
"I know where we can meet."

Later that day Paul was looking around the halls for the door she saw.
"No, no, no," she said as she passed each door. Then she heard a sound behind her and the door was there. "Yes." She ran to Harry and the others and brought them to the door.
"You found the room of requirement." Hermione said.
"What?"
"The come and go room? It only appears when someone needs it and it will be fully equipped with all the things they need."
"So say you need to go to the bathroom."
"Yes, I guess, that is the point."
They lined up and one by one disarmed a wood practice dummy. Neville's wand flew back when he tried to disarm it and almost hit one of the people.

Every day they would meet in the room of requirement and Filch would try to catch them. But would come out to late.
"Stunning is like a wizards bread and butter really, it's your best defense." Harry said. Paul was standing a few people away from her new boyfriend, Seamus Finnigan, and would get distracted by looking at him. Nigel, a younger wizard, sent a stupefy stunning spell at Harry but Paul was distracted and didn't have time to get out of the way as they all stepped back and was hit and sent back flying into Harry. Filch sat outside of the room of requirement trying to catch them well inside Ron was being stupefied by Hermione.
Another day all the students were questioned by Umbridge. Then they all went to the room and worked on their skills and weaknesses. Paul was levitating her brothers Fred and George when Seamus walked by and she lost concentration and they fell from six feet in the air.
"Oops, sorry." She bit her lip. And outside there was a box of "chocolates" waiting for Filch.

One day when Umbridge started a group to stop the D.A. Paul was dancing around the hall as she went to the room of requirement. She twirled through the empty halls. She had been the happiest since Cedric died, she knew he would have wanted her to move on and she did. She was happy to be with Seamus. Then she ran into something hard.
"Watch it." Said Malfoy.
"Oh, crap." She started to run in the other direction. Then the door came into sight and she ran in. it shrank away and no one could get in.
"What's the matter."
"I was running from Malfoy and his goons." She panted breathlessly, her hair in disarray from twirling. It was the last class before Christmas break. And Neville finally perfected his disarming spell. After class they all said their good byes and left to get ready for the holidays. As they got ready to leave the room Paul looked at the picture of Cedric. Soon she was the only one in the room.
"Paul," Seamus was right behind her. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm okay. It's just, learning all this it makes me wonder if he'd have known it."
"I'm sure he did know this stuff. I'm sure he was great, just,"
"Not great enough." Then they looked up and saw mistletoe. Seamus leaned in and kissed her.

"Why are you so happy?" Ron asked Paul as she sat down looking like she did after she met Cedric.
"I'm just happy." She said, making quick eye contact with Seamus who was still in the common room.
"No," Hermione said. "That's why you've been so happy al this time?"
"Maybe, maybe not." She said nervously.
"What?" Ron and Harry were lost. Paul smiled sheepishly and blushed.
"Um, well, how do I say this?"
"She and Seamus are dating." Hermione said.
"I guess that's how." She blushed.
"You and Seamus Finnigan!" Ron almost yelled.
"Ron, calm down. Okay, so I should have told you but I'm aloud my privacy."
"So if you explode like you did last year I'll hex you into next year." Hermione said.

That Christmas at headquarters Mr. Weasley had been saved by Harry's dream and was still recovering from the attack.
"Here we go." Said Mrs. Weasley. "Daddy's back." Mr. Weasley was badly hurt and in a wheel chair but everything was fine for him to come home. Everyone sat down and they passed around the presents. They all opened them up to find scarves. They all toasted Harry for without him Mr. Weasley would not be there to celebrate Christmas with them.
Later Paul sat in the room they all stayed in and pulled out her picture of her and Cedric and that scarf of hers that he loved. She opened the window and stood on the balcony where the wind had picked up and blew her hair all around her. She held them up and let the wind catch them. They flew away in the wind and she closed the window and curtains. No one opened them for two years.
"Paul, it's time to leave." Ron said.
"I'll be down there in a minute." Then by a trick of fate the wind outside changed direction and the scarf and picture flew onto the balcony. They would stay there till the window was opened again.
