Chapter 4

We walk through the big oak doors and down the hall to the dining hall. It was always my favorite room because of the celling. It was enchanted so that it looked like the weather outside. I sat down at the Griffindor table with the rest of the guys. Soon, Mrs. McGonagall, our head mistress, is walkin down between our table and the Ravenclaw table. Harrison saw his chance and he took it.

"Hey Ms. M. Missed you over the summer. Hope no boys hit on you; your mine" Harrison just did it to annoy the crap out of her. Sadly it worked.

"Detention tomorrow"

"But Ms. Minevera"

"Detention the whole week" Harrison pouted but shut up.

"Real mature" I told Harris.

"Like you're not!" Harris practically yelled.

"Have you ever seen me hit on a teacher, or mistress for that matter" I spat back.

"Actually yes I have" He puffed out his chest and gave me a look like hey you can't mess with me.

"OK when?"

"In your first year you accidentally dropped your books and one landed on Professor Quilamane's foot."

"That's not hitting on"

"Yea but he gave you detention"

"So?" I raised an eyebrow.

"McGonagall gave me detention last nigh"

"So?" I asked again. He shrugged his shoulders like well duh!

"Harris, You are not making any since right now" helped Hugo.

"Well it makes since to me" Harris argued. I rolled my eyes. Boys.

The Sorting hat then sang a song for all of us to hear:

Howarts has been here for man

Howarts has been here for many years

I know because I sort you through them all

So listen well with those ears.

Brave is the mighty Griffindor who accepts only those who prove their courage

But Smart ravenclaw having all the intelligent minds

Don't forget me say Slitherin who are quick and cunning.

I'll take all says kind Hufflepuff like honey.

Separate they could not live on,

but together they make a legacy that could forever live on

so take this warning now and all of you should hear

that there will be betrayal soon

so all come together near

for you are a school not a sport

and please accept my what I have to give

Then the sorting happened and I really didn't bother to pay attention. I never really liked the sorting anyways. We ate a delicious meal with pumpkin juice. Yum! After that we headed up to our common rooms and up to our dorms. I fell asleep as soon as I hit my bed.

That morning I went to breakfast and met up with the boys. We were handed our schedules.

Our schedule for today was:

Double charms with Quilamane (Griffindor and Hufflepuff)

Potions with Nivera (Griffindor and Slytherin)

Astronomy with Afaagana (Griffindor and Ravenclaw)

Double DADA with Mae (Griffindor and Slytherin)

"Uggh Double charms today" I groaned. I hated Charms.

After about half of charms I got bored really fast. Suddenly a note landed on my desk; it read:

F (Fred)- bored how about you

O (me)- totally! I HATE charms

F- who uses punctuation when passing notes

O- I obviously do (Fred rolled his eyes)

H (Hugo)- How can Jack take notes in this class?

F- IDK

O- Hey Jack! Join the party!

J (Jack)- I AM TAKING NOTES WHAT DO YOU WANT

F- to say hi

HA (Harrison)- am I invited?

H- it's not a literal party

HA- aww why not?

F- did you really just type aww

HA- You did it too 3

F- I give up

H- really though, why can't we have a party?

HA- Livi, Jack, are you home?

The professor cleared his throat. "Detention! Two weeks!"

"But professor, I already have detention this… wait never mind"

Professor Qualimane went back to his teaching but too late because the bell rang. The next few hours went pretty well; well up until just after diner.

I was just sitting in the shade of Hagrid's hut. He wasn't home so I figured he was in the forest. I saw a few Slytherin people I was not really fond of walk by. But the weird thing was, when they were right in front of me, I noticed Hugo was with them.

"Hugo" I asked. "Why are you with them"

"I'm sorry Livi" he said like he didn't mean it.

"Sorry for what" I asked.

"This" Hugo aimed a curse at me I couldn't quite hear. I saw the green light and thought I'm going to die! He Adavra-ed me! I saw my chest limbs and split open and I screamed and crumpled to the ground. Is this what dying feels like? After about five seconds he did the counter curse. I was healed.

"Hugo!" I cried. Why would he do this?

"Had enough, mud traitor? Come join the dark side, with us!" He said menacingly.

"But Voldemort is dead you coward!" I yelled back.

"Never say his name" Hugo exclaimed! He did the curse again before running off. I screamed again.

"Olivia!" someone knelt down beside me. Make it stop I wanted to sob but was losing consciousness. I felt myself drift away.

I awoke to some tapping.

"Oh good your awake" Jack said. I was in the hospital wing. I tried to sit up a little but Fred pushed me back down again.

"You need your rest honey. You have been out a week." The nurse said.

"A Week?" Wow that's new.

"Yea you almost died, mate" said Harrison.

"Where is Hugo?" I asked.

"Oh he went to his detention. He should be back anytime now" Jack smiled.

I glared. "Tell him never to come back"

"Oh why, Livi" they all said at one with confused faces.

"He did this to me!" I shouted.

"OK Liv." Fred looked sad. "But you need to lay back down" I hadn't realized I was sitting upright. I sighed and obeyed. Besides, I was tired and glad for an excuse to be lazy. I didn't really want to talk about it more so I pretended to fall asleep. I knew they didn't believe me. Why should they; Hugo has been our friend for years.

"Why does she think that?" I heard Harrison whisper.

"I honestly don't know. Maybe they altered her memory?" Fred whispered back. They're dumb. I know what I saw.

"Whoever did it took a modified version of the outlawed curse" whispered Jack.

"I bet it was Crabbe Jr. He always hated us." whispered Harrison. I didn't hear the rest of the conversation because I fell asleep. Boy I was tiered.

I woke up in what appeared the middle of the night. Suddenly it hit me. No one would believe me. Not even my own friends! No one saw who did this but the Slitherins and me. At that miserable thought, I cried. There was no one around to see me, so I didn't stop.

After what seemed like a half hour later, someone came into the hospital wing. I covered my head in my blankets because I didn't want to be seen. The footsteps seemed to be coming closer. It was probably Ms. Pomfrey. I was the only patient at the time. Suddenly someone sat on my bed, making me jump.

"I know your awake now." The person said.

I looked up. "James?"

He smiled. "I knew you were awake."

"But why are you here?"

He laughed at my confused expression. "To check on you of course! I wanted to know how you were doing." He sighed. "Anyways what happened to you?"

"Well someone did this curse thing that splits you open. It hurt pretty bad" I said reluctantly.

"Do you know who?" he questioned.

"Err… Well… uh… yes" I said bitting my lip, knowing what he was going to ask next.

"Who?"

"You wouldn't believe me" I said rather quickly.

"That's rubbish! Of course I would believe you!" He had the tinniest smile on his face.

"Are you sure?" he nodded. I sighed. "Well Hugo did it." He didn't seem very surprised. "Did you know already?"

"Well yes. I saw him do it actually. I ran to you as fast as I could."

"They said I barely survived, I would have died if it wasn't for you" I was surprised. That was James. He grinned.

"You owe me, Ms. Smith" he joked.

"Do not" I playfully hit his arm.

"Oww!" he whined.

"Wimp"

"OUT MR. POTTER, OUT! SHE NEEDS REST" the nurse screamed. I laughed. James went out with a pout. When closing the door, he winked at me.
