Emmett, Jasper, and I were walking to our first class the next morning. But then I saw Bellatrix. I pushed the others into an empty classroom.
"Trixie? What's going on?" Emmett asked.
"Bellatrix is here. Shit! She saw me! Hide, quick!"
But I was too late. She blasted me into the wall and walked over.
"Give me the crystal."
"Never!"
I looked at the others and signaled for them to stay. But when Bellatrix attacked me even more, Emmett dove into her. She left.
"Jasper, go get Carlisle! Quick!"
Jasper ran out of the room and ran down to the Hospital Wing.
"Jasper? What's wrong?"
"Trixie's been attacked. We can't move her."
Dad followed him to where Emmett was trying to wake me up.
"What happened?"
"Bellatrix came after her for the crystal." Emmett said.
"Jasper, go get Severus. Tell him that the barrier has been taken down."
Jasper ran to the Potions classroom. Severus had a class.
"Professor, I need to talk to you. It's an emergency!"
"Go to the other room." They walked to the other room. "What is it, Jasper?"
"The barrier is down."
"What do you mean the barrier is down? How do you know?"
"Bellatrix was here. She attacked Trixie!"
He went into the classroom.
"Class dismissed."
He ran to where we were.
"Severus, Albus must have taken down the barrier." Dad said.
Severus went up to Albus' office.
"Severus, my boy. Don't you have a class?"
"I dismissed it. My niece has been attacked by Bellatrix. The barrier has been broken."
"Alas, but it has not. I took it down."
"What? Why?"
"There is no threat on this castle. If Ms. LeStrange came and attacked a student, that student has a lot to learn."
"She is a first year for god's sake."
He walked out of the room.
"So what happened to the barrier?" Dad asked.
"The old fool took it down."
I started to wake up.
"Dad, it looks like we need to bring back the pranks." I said.
"Sounds like it, doesn't it?"
"You pulled pranks?" Emmett asked.
"He sure did." Severus complained.
Carlisle chuckled.
"You deserved that one, Sev. You switched my homework for the love letter I was writing to the woman who was Trixie's mother."
Severus laughed.
"I remember now."
Emmett was still shocked. Dad turned back to me.
"But, right now, the only thing you need to worry about is healing. What exactly happened, Jasper?"
"We were walking to class when she turned the corner. Trixie pushed us into this room and told us to hide. But she was too late and Bellatrix blasted her into the wall. She signaled us to stay put. But Emmett dove for Bellatrix."
"Emmett, go get your brother and sisters. Have them go up to the room. I'm going to carry Trixie up there. Keep the door locked."
Dad lifted me up and I cried out in pain. When Emmett turned the corner, he ran into Edward.
"What happened?"
"I'll explain everything in the room. Come on."
They went upstairs. I was asleep. Alice gasped.
"She's going to be fine, Alice." Jasper said.
They explained everything. By the time mom came in, I started to stir. She gasped.
"Don't worry; Trixie and Carlisle are bringing back the pranks." Emmett said.
"Carlisle pranked people?"
"Oh yes. I got him once or twice myself." I said.
Emmett looked at me and burst out laughing.
