Chapter 6: Western Wizarding History?
Professor Alpine stood in her office wondering still why these students where not put in there original houses.
"They all should have been put in their houses, but why weren't they?" she stood there in the middle of her office wondering, and waiting for some one else to give her an answer.
She jumped in surprise as a small knock came to her door. She walked over to the door opening it with her wand at hand. There stood a small and timid looking Ginny. She smiled up at Professor Alpine and she returned the favor and moved away for Ginny could come in.
"Professor I have been thinking about a few things since I arrived here this after noon." Ginny said while wringing her hands while looking at the hard wood floor.
"Yes Miss Weasley and what would that be?" Professor Alpine motioned for Ginny to take a seat while she did the same.
"Well… Professor I have heard quite a bit of… well things about the place. And they have been worrying me since I arrived here." Ginny said now sitting in front of the Head master; she was still wringing her hands.
"Miss Weasley, I have no idea what you are worried about. If you won't tell me then I can't fix it." Alpine said getting a bit worried that the small girl had the same worries as she herself did.
"Professor, is it true that the ghosts that reside here are not friendly to the students or staff members?" Ginny said regaining herself and thinking what would Hermione do.
"Well yes Miss Weasley that is true but dear girl that can't be what is worrying you?" Professor Alpine moved a book that was lying on her desk while looking at a now semi calm Ginny.
"You're right Professor that is not what is worrying me. But it does answer some questions that have been irking me." Ginny said looking at the book Alpine had moved and read the title.
'Western Wizarding History now what would she need to read that for?' Ginny turned her gaze to her head master and nodded her head slightly.
"Professor, does this school have to worry about Voldemort?"
"He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is no problem to us at all, dear child you have not to fear him while attending my school."
"But if Voldemort is not a problem or a worry to us here, why won't you say his name?" Ginny was glad she had paid attention to Hermione during their heated debates back at Hogwarts. Professor Alpine slipped up this time, and she knew it.
"Miss Weasley no one here says his name, they believe it is not a wise choice. Now if you'll excuse me I have many things to do." Alpine stood and waited for Ginny to stand also, but she never did. The Weasley's are known for being stubborn and Ginny was the most out of all of them.
"Please Professor if we are in danger here you must tell us!"
"I will tell nothing of the sort, you children are not in danger at my school!" Alpine raised her voice slightly and watched as Ginny stood, her face red as her hair.
"NO! I know you're hiding something, and I will see to it that Dumbledore hears of this!" Ginny yelled slamming her fists down grabbing the book off Alpine's desk without her noticing and storming out of the room.
"Dear Merlin these children are going to be a handful." She said closing her office door and heading for her bed room.
----------With Ginny--------
Ginny ran down the halls and up flights of stairs until she arrived at Hermione's floor. She ran down the hall way until she found the door to the head common room which was marked Head's Living Quarters. She Started banging on their door and was pushed back by some spells.
"Damn, what the hell is that about?" She said going back to the door and banged again.
"Hermione it's me Ginny open that fucking door!" she yelled and was pushed back again by the force of the spells. This time Ginny looked down the hall for another way in and saw someone standing at the end of the hallway watching her.
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT HERMIONE LET ME THE FUCK INSIDE NOW SOMEONES OUT HERE!" She yelled jumping up from the floor and holding on to the book for dear life she heard the door in front of her open and she ran inside!
-------Hermione pv-----
"Ginny calm down please, we didn't know it was you! We saw that thing too… well Draco here saw it not me." I said trying to calm the young girl in front of me, but all she did was hand me a book.
"Read this and after that explain to me why our new head master would have it? Better yet explain why she would be marking the pages and acting quite weird when I brought up something's while in her office?" Ginny said pointing as the book and her face red as a tomato.
"Better question is why you were in her office?" Malfoy asked finally sitting down and giving the book in my hands a look over.
"I was in her office to ask her about some weird goings on in the school. Like last year twenty students disappeared! At the time Alpine was not head master, she was just another teacher here, and it was only her first year. Well my point is, is that twenty students disappeared and the head master just up and left. That is the reason why we are not aloud to leave school grounds, their afraid of something here and I want to know what? Don't you think that is a little odd?" Ginny ask proud that she had done research before coming to the school.
"Yes ginny that is weird… I wonder why they would…. Never mind! Ginny I'm gonna give this a read though. While you go online and find some more information on our new home." Hermione said moving to the arm chair by the window with a note book, pen, and the Western Wizarding History book in hand.
"Hey what am I going to do?" Malfoy asked standing up from his seat.
"I don't know and I don't really care." Ginny said from her seat at the computer.
"How about you just sit back down and look pretty like always." Hermione said never glancing up from her book.
"Once again granger was that a complement?"
"Once again I'm done talking to you!" She said tuning him out as she read on about past Problems at their new school.
---Few Hours Later---
Hermione was in utter confusion, why had she not looked up this school before coming to it. She had finished reading the first five chapters but could not bring herself to read more. The content of this book was chilling and just plain old creepy. Students had been dieing and disappearing for centuries now. She looked over towards Ginny to find she was fast asleep at the computer. She turned her head and looked over at Draco who was surprisingly still up, either that or he sleeps with his eyes open.
"Draco are you awake?" Hermione asked standing up with the book in her hands along with her paper. Draco jerked his head up as if he was just caught day dreaming in class.
"Yea I'm awake. I just zoned out few a little, why what did you find?" he asked while moving over for she could sit down.
"Well first off you have to promise not to zone out again."
"Why?" Draco asked confused as all hell.
"Because that's how most of these kids died, Draco, they first start to zone out, then the sicknesses start, then they can keep down food, they lose weight, and then they just disappear." Hermione said a little bit of worry and fear in her voice.
"Are you worried about me granger?"
"I do not know why but yes."
"Oh alright continue what you were saying then."
"Well Draco, you would think that the school sent the sick students home," Draco nodded his head, "but they did not! These students are on record as disappearing. That means the school officials do not even know where they have gone." Hermione said looking scared again.
"It's okay I know we will be alright, we have the all mighty Potter with us." Draco said trying to lighten up the mood but failing miserably. They sat there in silence and Draco pulled Hermione close and hugged her.
"Draco what are you doing?"
"Trying to calm you down, you are going to make yourself insane worrying about every student here."
"Oh!" was all Hermione could say as she hugged him back. A few minutes of their hug there was a load knocking sound from out side their door. No one was knocking on the door for they would be pushed back by the force of they spells sitting on the door. Hermione quickly checked her watch, 3:15 am; she panicked again and ran over to wake Ginny up.
"Ginny wake up now!" Hermione said shaking her friend until she got some type of response.
"I'm awake!" Ginny yelled smacking Hermione's hands away. She was going to continue yelling until she heard the knocking. She immediately ran over to the couch and hid her face between Draco's back and the couch. Hermione did the same once she got the feeling of being watched. But instead of what Ginny did Hermione placed her head on Draco's chest and he wrapped his arms around the two terrified teenage girls with him.
-----With Professor Alpine-----
Shit the knocking has started again, what am I to do? I should contact Dumbledore at once, yes, that is what I'll do. She called Dumbledore on her mirror that was like Harry's but bigger for it sat on her bedroom wall.
"Dumbledore are you there?"
"Why Ms. Alpine what brings you to call upon me at this ungodly hour?" Professor Alpine's face paled and she looked as terrified as a deer in head lights.
"You see Dumbledore that is why I am calling upon you. It's the ungodly hour, and the knocking has returned from last year. I have been worrying about the students all day and now it is starting again. The wizard government said that any more mishaps and they would close my school for good! I can not allow this please, please help me!" Alpine said but once she finished the knocking grew louder as if nearing her room, she did the same as her new head students had done and waited for Dumbledore's reply. He heard the knocking for sure now for his face matched alpine's.
"I'm on my way!" minutes later he fell from the firer place brushing he cloths off himself and Alpine started the plain on how to rid the school of these haunting. But with out the book that Ginny had stolen they had no idea of what could and could not be done.
AN: ight I'm changing something's up… like I'm making this Action/Adventure, Humor, and Horror. Okay not much of a change since I only have a few chapters up lol but hey it's a start.
Just to remind you…..
Okay this is how its going to be so please don't kill me or hate me….. I'm kinda starting this after HBP… but instead of Dumbledore dieing, I'm killing off Snape. Ya know, just the opposite of how it went, Draco and his mom are in hiding, and Dumbledore has kept in touch with Draco and his mom all summer…. Harry and the others still hate Draco because he was going to try and kill Dumbledore. .but he didn't. Ight any other questions please send them to me…
