Hey, sorry this chapter took so long. My sister would not give up the computer. It is my longest chapter, so enjoy!
After that we all became the best of friends. In second year Teddy became a Beater on the Gryffindor team and in third year Emily became Seeker and Wilbur was Keeper. I was the only one who didn't play Quidditch. I had this small problem with staying upright on the broom. But it was fine because I was the smartest kid in class. I even signed up for the time turners during third year because I took every class like Hermione Granger. The only difference is I survived Divination. Life was great, but little did I know, it was going to change very quickly. It all started one day in December.
"What are your plans for Christmas?" Emily asked as we were studying in the library.
"I'm staying home." Wilbur said, "But you knew that."
"Mhmm, this question was aimed at the people who I don't live next to and am not spending Christmas with." Emily replied. Their families are close friends and live next to each other in Godric's Hollow.
"Same as always, going to the Weasleys'." Teddy said.
"You say that like it's a bad thing, but you always come back after break with great stories." I said. "I'm going to my grandmother's house, again. I love her but it is soooooo boring. Six hour drive there, six hour drive back, to see cousins nowhere near my age that I see every year."
"I could ask Molly if you could stay there for the holidays." Teddy said.
"Yes! That would be so much fun," said Victorie. Victorie was Bill and Fleur's first daughter. She was a first year and hung out with us a lot since Teddy was the only person she knew.
"No, I could never intrude on your family Christmas."
"Are you kidding me? It would probably make their Christmas better. They love guests and would love to meet you. I talk to them about you guys all the time. Trust me; they would be happy to have you." Teddy nodded.
"I would have to ask my parents. I'm not sure how they would react to not having me for Christmas."
"Well tell me what they say. I'll ask Molly."
"Cool." I said.
"Cool." He said.
We all laughed slightly and went back to our books.
"MY PARENTS SAID YES! MY PARENTS SAID YES!" I yelled so excited I didn't notice everyone in the great hall was staring. I ran to Gryffindor table jumping up and down. "I just got word this morning. What did Molly say?"
"She said yes of course. We will spend the first night at my grandmother's house and then we'll spend the rest of the break at the Weasleys'. I suggest you calm down though."
"Why?"
"Because everyone is staring." He whispered. I looked at Emily and Victorie.
"Please tell me he's kidding." Emily looked down and Victorie started giggling. He was right, everyone was staring. I immediately turned and quickly headed toward the entrance to the Great Hall.
"Ooh, he's taking you to meet his grandmother?" Wilbur teased
"SHUT UP!" I called back and ran out of the hall in embarrassment. When I got outside I ran into the last person I wanted to see.
"Hullo Mudblood." Justin smirked.
"Hello imbecile. How's that ageing potion going?" Earlier that week Justin's ageing potion kind of… blew up.
His smile faltered for a second but was back in no time. "Great actually, once I finished Professor Slughorn said it was OWLs ready. Not that you would know what OWLs are."
"I know very well what OWLs are. Our Ordinary Wizarding Levels are taken in fifth year in most of our classes and normally consist of both a written and physical test." I waited for a second to take in the slight amount of shock on his face. "Now if you'll excuse me I would prefer not waste my time bickering with someone who thinks blood statues should effect educational values." Then I stomped off, my head down to hide my smile.
"Is everyone here? Everyone's alright?" Professor McGonagall ran around worriedly. Apparently there had been a break in, in Ravenclaw Tower all students were in the Great Hall waiting for the OK to go back to our daily routines.
"What if it was Dolumuritz?" Emily asked quietly.
"I don't know, let's ask genius." Wilbur replied looking at me. I had developed the nickname genius from him and though I would never admit it, I really enjoyed the idea of being a genius.
"It is possible, but I wouldn't jump to conclusions. He likes to give signs of his appearance, let's wait to see if there is any sign of him specifically."
"McGonagall would never tell us of something like that." Wilbur shot back.
"So? Really, you think I would stop looking because someone didn't give me the answers?"
"She has a point." Teddy said.
"Look, Wannabe Punk, (Teddy's new nickname) all I am saying is McGonagall would probably get rid of anything like that." Wilbur argued, though I don't know why, I hadn't lost an argument against him yet.
"No, she wouldn't. She wouldn't have time. She has to let us out of here by the end of the day, so she only has a couple hours and she has to make it unsuspicious. There's not enough time."
"Students." McGonagall addressed the crowd. "We've searched the school and found no signs of anyone breaking in. It was probably some student who made the noise and mess. Now if anyone has any idea who did this I would advise them to come forward and tell me." I expected her to wait for someone to speak up but she walked away. That's how I knew something was up.
"Hey why don't we all meet up in the library?" Emily asked. "I have to get some stuff from my room and then could we hang out? Ten minutes? Normal spot?"
"Sure." I replied.
"I'll be there." Wilbur responded.
"Can Victorie come?" Teddy asked.
"Of course, we love Victorie."
"What about me?" Anya said surprising me.
"Yep." Wilbur added.
I was about to leave when professor McGonagall showed up in front of me.
"Ms. Walker, I wish to speak with you in private."
"Yes, of course Professor."
She led me down to an empty corridor.
"Ms. Walker, before I start I would like your word that you will tell no one about what I am about to tell you."
"You have my word… What is it?"
"I can tell by your expression you don't believe what I said in there."
"Well…"
"It's alright, I wasn't fully telling the truth. We did find some signs… of Dolumuritz."
"Why tell me this?"
"Because we believe what he wrote might be directed at you. It is pretty well hidden, but I trust you will still attempt to get rid of it?"
"Yes. I will do my best."
"Good." And with that she walked off.
I probably should have gone straight to the library, but curiosity got the best of me so I headed towards Ravenclaw common room. I searched around the room and my bed specifically for any sign of him but didn't find anything other than the mess he made, which was the reason for the alarm. Then I opened the drawer to my nightstand, and saw in yellow spray paint: Looking for something?
Now I was. I realized something very important was missing from the drawer. I bolted out of the tower, through the corridors, to the library. Once I got there I sprinted to the table not stopping for some air.
"Guys" I panted. "I… need to…talk to you… privately."
They must have known it was important since I ran all the way there and they knew I hated running. Wilbur, Teddy, and Emily got up from the table and walked with me through one of the aisles.
"What's so important?" Wilbur asked.
"It was Dolumuritz… He broke in… and he took one of my letters."
"What was in the letter, since it seems very important to you."
"My name. I was about to tell Harry who I was."
