The next two weeks went by quickly, and they had finally moved into Hogwarts. It was a dreary and rainy afternoon, Chica and Nolan went off by themselves, Daniel was off doing whatever he was doing by himself and Senpai was exploring the castle. She too was alone. After awhile, she came across two wide doors.

"Hmm... I wonder where these doors lead to." Senpai said aloud. She had a habit of talking to herself when no one was around. She opened the right door and found that it lead to a three story library. "Wow," she said aloud to herself as she walked up the library stairs to discover a study area. She was amazed on how big the library was. "Now... where to begin?" She said, looking around at all of the books.

She decided to read about what she thought was a fake book of dragons. But something about it was odd. It seemed to be real; the years, dates, and detailed discoveries sounded too real. But dragons? Dragons were just mythical creatures, weren't they?

Senpai was so deep in thought that she didn't notice that someone had come up behind her. Nolan put his hand on her head, scaring her. "Any good?" he asked, laughing at Senpai because she had just fallen out of her chair.

"Holy shit! Nolan! I told you never to do that again, didn't I?" Senpai yelled, glaring at him.

"I was just making sure that you were aware that there was a party going on. I figured you would pretty mad if you missed it." Nolan said, offering her his hand to help her up.

"What is the party for?" Senpai asked as she put the book back where it belonged. They then turned and walked back to Gryffindor common room to join in the festivities.

"It's a party for the summer games that our country hosted. We came in first place, and the U.K. came in second, but knowing Rupert that is good enough to throw a party." He told her, answering her previous question.

"Good point." Senpai answered, giggling. They finally reached the common room. Immediately as they walked through the doors, Senpai began scanning the room for Daniel, but she didn't see him. She started to walk through the group of people trying to find Chica, but Chica found her first. Chica hugged Senpai for an unclear reason, lifting her a foot off of the ground.

"Chica!" Senpai said, surprised, dangling her feet in midair. "Put me down!"

Chica laughed at her after she had put Senpai down. "I am so happy!" Chica exclaimed giving Senpai another tight hug.

"I can tell." Senpai said laughing at her crazy friend. "But I never thought that you'd be this happy over games!"

"That's not the reason I am happy." Chica said with a huge smile on his face. "Follow me."

"All right,." Senpai answered allowing her friend to lead her to a table of drinks. Chica handed her a mug of butterbeer.

"Here, you have to try this! It is really good." Chica told her, and she drank it quickly, not realizing how thirsty she was.

"Wow," Senpai muttered once she had finished the mug, and reached for another. "So, are you ever going to tell me why you are so happy?"

"Well, okay here it goes." Chica said grinning. "Nolan and I are back together!"

"No way... for real?" Senpai asked, and Chica nodded. Both of the girls squealed with delight. "Oh Chica, I'm so happy for you!" She exclaimed, hugging Chica one more time. They sat and talked for a few minutes before Rupert and Emma came over to join them in conversation.

"What do you think of the party?" Rupert asked after he had helped himself to a mug of butterbeer.

Senpai shrugged, "its okay." She said in mock boredom. Chica pretended to yawn while Emma stretched.

Rupert looked taken back. "Okay? Okay!! This party is bloody brilliant!" He said.

"Of course..." Emma started. "We'll have to thank the twins for such a great party." Emma finished mockingly.

"Ohh, burn!" Senpai said laughing.

"The twins?! I was the one who did all this work with Daniel's help." Rupert said defensively.

"We know, we know. We were just joking. We've been enjoying ourselves." Senpai said pushing Daniel out of her mind. Emma and Chica made a scoffing noise.

"This song sucks!" Chica said annoyed.

"Well at least it's the end of the CD. I've got the rest upstairs." Rupert said quickly. "I just don't feel like getting it."

"You're such a lazy bum!" Emma said while Chica just rolled her eyes.

Senpai laughed. "I'll go and get them for you if you would like." She offered.

Rupert, who looked incredibly relieved, said, "Thanks. It should be right on my bedside table..."

She nodded. "All right then. I'll be back in a few." She said before leaving the group. She made her way through the crowd and instinctively began climbing the stairs to the boy's dormitory. When she got to the door, she hesitated for a moment, wondering if it really is okay for her to be going in there. She decided that it was since all of the guys were down at the party, so she reached for the door knob, opening the room where Rupert slept.

When Senpai first walked in, she didn't notice anyone in the room. She walked quickly over to Rupert's bed, grabbing the music off of his bedside table. Just as she turned around, she quickly glanced around the room and stopped dead in her tracks. Her heart felt like it was going to break in a million pieces because of the sight before her eyes. She dropped all of the music from her hands and it landed on the floor, with a crack. She stared at Daniel's bed, her jaw dropped in disbelief. Daniel was looking extremely comfortable with May, a girl who played Parvati.

May was on top of him, kissing him passionately. When she had dropped the music, he had pushed her off of him and sat up. As he looked around the room, trying to find out where the noise had come from, he spotted her and a look of horror crossed his face. Senpai backed up slowly until she got to the doorway, then she turned and ran from the room and out of the common room.

She didn't want to see, much less talk to anybody at that moment. The next thing that she knew was that she was out on the castle's grounds by the lake, far away from everybody.

'What the hell am I doing?' Senpai thought. 'T have no right to feel this way; he had every right to kiss May.' But even as she thought this, her heart was breaking and she wanted to die. After a moment or two, she felt extremely cold. She felt like she would never be happy or cheerful again, then she heard the leaves rustling but she couldn't feel any wind. So she looked up and was again horrified by the sight before her.

Senpai was surrounded by three floating figures in black. 'Dementors,' she thought to herself. They opened their mouths and began to suck Senpai's soul right from her body. She cried in pain, and tried to get away from them. But she couldn't. 'Wait, Dementors aren't real. What's going on?' She thought to her self, but she was positive that she wasn't imagining the pain that she was experiencing.

"Help!" Senpai managed to scream. Just after she finished saying that she thought to herself, 'No one can help you stupid. You're on your own."

"Expecto Partonum!" someone screamed. She saw a bright light as the Dementors were repelled away from her. Then before darkness overtook her, she saw a guy running towards her along with four other people. She felt herself starting to fall forward, and a pair of strong arms wrapping themselves around her.

"What the hell happened?" Chica asked Daniel as soon as she reached him and Senpai. Daniel had just picked Senpai up off of the ground.

"Dementors... they were eating off of her soul..." He said, trying to explain what had happened.

"But why was she out here in the first place?" Nolan asked, confused. When they reached the castle, Rupert went back to the party and Emma went to get some chocolate. Nolan, Daniel and Chica took Senpai to the hospital so she could get some rest without being disrupted. Just as Daniel was putting Senpai on a hospital bed, Emma walked through the door with a plate heaping with chocolate.

Around an hour later, everybody except Chica and Daniel had retired to their dormitory. They had tried to make small talk, but were both too deep in thought to actually continue it.

"Now answer me, why was Senpai out there in the first place?" Chica asked, breaking the silence, trying to keep her voice down.

"It was my fault..." Daniel started

"Who was that girl?" Chica asked accusingly.

"An old fling." Daniel said, looking down. "It didn't mean anything." He added after a moments silence.

"If you didn't mean anything by it, then why did you do it?" Chica asked, really trying to keep her voice level controlled.

"Because I wasn't thinking."

"Well duh you weren't thinking! You're captain obvious!" Chica yells, not even bothering to control her voice. "You might be famous, and a wizard, but you still are a dick!"

"Watch who you are talking to like that!" Daniel retorts.

"You have no right to speak to a lady in that tone of voice!" Nolan yelled from the doorway. "And I happen to agree with her! You are a dick to toy with someone's feelings!"

"Look asshole, like I told your girlfriend, watch who your ..." He stopped in the middle of his sentence, yet his lips continued to form the words.

"What happened to Daniel?" Nolan wondered to himself

"... so mote it be." I finished my conation, barely audible to anybody else in the room.

"What are you saying?" Nolan asked Chica.

"Oh nothing. Daniel just got really annoying that's all." Chica replied innocently.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Nolan asked, confused.

"Never mind! It's not really a big deal." Chica told him. Daniel, during the meantime, is just staring at me with a look of bewilderment on his face. "What are you staring at? Do you have anything to say?" Chica said meanly.

"What's the matter with Daniel? Why can't he talk?" A picture on the wall asked.

"It's advance magic! That's not allowed outside of the classrooms! Who did it?" Another picture asked.

"I did of course." Chica said proudly. Daniel looked shocked and Nolan just stared at her.

"I didn't know that you could do wandless magic, or any magic at that!" Nolan exclaimed.

"Well you and Senpai can do magic as well, but I will explain later okay? Now Daniel, are you done being a dick?" Chica asked him and he nodded, still unable to talk. "Fine then, you can talk now." She said waving her hand. "Now tell me what happened tonight, or I am going to do something a lot worse than taking away your voice." Chica warned.

Daniel looked at Chica, and then at Senpai, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed. He thought for a moment, trying to think of words that would help him describe the events easily. Then he started. "I had gone up to the boy's dormitory to gather CD's for Rupert's party, when I noticed that a girl named May had followed me. She wanted to know if I would save her a dance later, but before I could give her an answer she had jumped on top of me and started kissing me. I tried to get her off of me, but she was too forceful. That is when someone else came into the room and dropped the CD's. When they hit the floor, they startled May so I was able to push her off of me. I then looked around the room in order to find out who had dropped them, and spotted Senpai standing there horrified. Just as I was going to tell her what was happening, she backed away from me and ran from the room." Daniels eyes started to water, but he didn't cry. He walked up to Senpai's bed, taking her hand in his as he sat down on the edge of it. "God Sempai, I am so sorry." He tells her.

"You love her don't you?" Chica asked him.
