Me: I cant believe its almost Christmas!
It was just a few days until Christmas and things had been as normal as possible over the past few months. Gryffindor was winning most of the quidditch games (woohooo) and the animagus training was going well. McGonagall even said we might be able to change by the end of the year. How crazy is that! The Christmas ball was tonight and a lot of people were going home tomorrow. I was going with Sean (duh), Madeline with Jake (duh), Madison with a nice boy named Chris, and Connor, well he says he isn't going.
Me: c'mon! You have to go!
Connor: I don't wanna.
Madeline: why? Cuz you don't have a date?!?
Connor: hey! That's not why! I just don't want to that's all.
Me: ok fine. Hey! How bout you ask Eva?!? You could totally spy on her for us!
Madison: that's not a bad idea, Connor.
Connor: ugh. Fine. Ill ask.
She said yes, thank goodness. The dance was fun.
Afterwards, we all walked back to our common room and went to our dorms.
Me: that was tons of fun!
Madison: mhmm! Soo you guys aren't going home are you?
Madeline: Nah. Im staying here.
Me: ditto.
Madison: yeah me too. Hey did you see Connor and Eva come back with us?
Me:huh. I didn't… maybe they're still down there.
Madeline: probably. Night
Me and Madison: night!
I was woken quite harshly in the middle of the night by McGonagall.
McGonagall: rose! Your friend, john, was attacked by a wolf of some sorts. I need you and your friends to be down there with him.
Me Madison and Madeline quickly put on our robes and rushed down to the infirmary.
Connor wasn't really injured. He was a little bruised and had a few scratches. The one thing that worried me was the savage bite on his arm.
McGonagall: we gave him some medicine to help him sleep.
Me: what was he doing!?! Is he going to be ok?!
McGonagall: yes he'll be fine. We don't know what he was doing. We found him on the edge of the Forrest grounds.
Madeline and I looked at each other. Remembering that Eva was seen walking into the Forrest.
Madison: so what bit him?
McGonagall: probably just a lone wolf…. I will leave you to talk.
Right when she left, Connor opened his eye just a little and faintly whispered
Connor: are they gone?
I smiled, because this is something he would do.
ME: yeah. That sleep stuff is disgusting. Did you pretend to swallow it then hid it or what…
Connor: spot on actually.
Madeline: so.. let me guess. You decided to follow Eva after the dance and she went into the woods….
Connor: and then a huge wolf thing jumped at me from inside the Forrest.
Madison: waitwaitwait. Wolf thing. Not just a wolf?
Connor: well, it looked a lot like a wolf, but it had something wrong about it. Im not sure what though…
Me: that's really weird. So wait… where's Eva?
Connor: I don't know… she might be in the woods still.
Madeline: hmmmf. Should we tell Dumbledore?
Me: I don't know. He probably wont believe us.
Madison: that's true. I guess we will have to keep an eye on her for now.
Me: sounds good.
Madeline: ok.
Connor:hey wait! I get hurt and I don't get any flowers or candy or junk? C'mon!
