Chapter 4

"The headmaster asked that I show you all to your rooms and get your luggage back to its normal size so Mad-Eye, the bags please." Minerva said kindly "Yeah here you go" he said handing Minerva about 14 bags. "Also here are some enchanted maps to show where the entire team and all the teachers are at within the school grounds and so you don't get lost." Remus said handing out maps like the Marauder's Map but more limited. "Excellent" Minerva said "well let's get going. Shall we?"

All of the rooms you will be staying in will be on the same floor; the second floor is the first to have guest rooms so I think there is best, also try to avoid one Professor Dolores Umbridge for now until Miss Granger is informed which I think will be tonight or tomorrow morning during her free period." "Ok will do." Calleigh said with a sad smile. "Ok thank you."

"First room is Lt. Caine's here" she said opening the door and stepping in. "All of the rooms have a two bedrooms, bathrooms, a kitchen and dining area, even thought you may all attend all meals in the great hall at the head table, fully stocked library through that door there, and a potions lab that can double for a criminalist lab with some minor transfigurations." "Will this be sufficient?" "Oh it's perfect, thank you." "Ok here are your bags "Minerva said setting them on the ground and waving her wand over them returning them to the correct size. She continued in this same pattern with all the rooms ordered as such: Horatio, Eric, Tim, Alexx, and Yelina with Ray Jr., and finally Calleigh. "Breakfast starts at 6:30 and ends by 8:30, Lunch is from noon to one and dinner is at 7:00 sharp. After dinner tomorrow you will all meet with the headmaster and the victims' daughter if that is ok with you all."

With Hermione

"Well, you aren't sick but you will be if you don't start eating and try to relax." Madam Poppy Pomfery told Hermione in the hospital wing. "I see one every year over worked and under fed, all because of stress." "Hermione I have told you before that is very unhealthy." Then she mumbled so Hermione couldn't hear "No one's been this bad since Severus and Calleigh's competition." "Calleigh, as in Calleigh Duquesne" Hermione asked. "Yes, you know her?" "She's my only living cousin, ironically with the most dangerous job." "That's just how it goes, girl." "Yeah I really miss her."

Dinner

Calleigh and the rest of the team and Ray Jr. sat at the head table with the staff looking at the crowd of students all talking happily or looking up at the guests curiously. Right before dinner started the mail arrived and Hermione got a letter from the head master asking her to join him in his office after dinner. "Crap." "What's up Hermione?" Harry asked and she showed him the letter. "Dang Hermione what'd ya do?" Ron asked in surprise. "Nothing Ronald" Hermione snapped. "Sure ya didn't." Ron said.

Headtable

"So which one is your cousin, Calleigh?" Eric asked from her left where he sat by Horatio, who was on Calleigh's left, and Tim.

"Um there at the Gryffindor Table, the back one on the right, the girl with the brown bushy hair by the boy with black hair and the boy with red hair sitting all alone." Calleigh answered

"She's cute." Eric said but seeing Calleigh's face said "but way to young."

"Uh huh I thought so."Calleigh said

Back in Calleigh's room

"So Calleigh," Yelina started in Calleigh's large chair, next to Alexx, who was by Ray Jr on Calleigh's couch, "who is your favorite guy here?"

"I would ask you the same but I think it's pretty obvious."

"I said the same thing Calleigh." Alexx said

"I don't like Severus." Yelina protested

"Don't tell him that, poor guy. Calleigh said

"Why do you say that?" Alexx asked

"Well let's just say the poor old boy has had a rough life ok." Calleigh responded

"Oh no, you are not getting out that easy" Alexx said.

"Totally, you brought it up."

"Fine, when he was a kid he grew up in an abusive home, where his father was a drunk and hated him for being a wizard and beat him every day and night for the dumbest things. His mother loved him but died when he was 15 from cancer. He had one really friend from the age of 9 until he was 15, when he called his best friend, Lily Evens a 'Mud-Blood', that means she had 'dirty blood' because she was from the parents of two 'muggles' or non-magic people, and that is the worst insult there is for a muggle-born. He was mad at a boy named James Potter and humiliated by something he did and she 'rescued' him. He spat at her saying 'I don't need help from a mud-blood.' Of course regretting it immediately he tried to apologize but the damage was done.

He went home that summer and murdered his father even though it was never proved, and had to live with his grandparents until he was of age. They hated him too because he was a half-blood, his father having been muggle, and their family had all been pure-blooded up until his birth. When he became of age he became a 'Death-Eater' a follower of a man named Voldemort aka Tom Riddle, a mass murderer. Death-eaters were infamous for all of their murders, rapes, and raids in the name of Lord Voldemort. In fact it is so bad if you say his name in a large crowd, anyone who hears you will flinch at the name and think you're really brave or really stupid.

He would be rotting in Azkaban Wizard Prison, if he hadn't made a huge mistake and gone to Dumbledore to fix it having accidently caused the murder of James Potter and his wife Lily Evens Potter and become a double spy." "He has seen things even you two can't imagine." Calleigh said finishing her story.

"And you can?" Alexx said

"Actually I can because for eight years of my life I spent it as a double agent against the Dark Lord." She said rolling up her left sleeve. "There is a reason I don't wear short sleeves." She said exposing the tip of the dark mark.

"Trust me; I wouldn't either with something like that on my arm," Yelina said truthfully "even in the Miami heat."

"But isn't that a sad story, and a rough life?" Calleigh said

"Yeah it's awful." Alexx said and Yelina agreed.
