Chapter 10: She's got a Crush
Julia sat on the couch in the common room text book on her lap and a piece of parchment sitting ready to be written on. But as usual she just sat looking out the window. Her grades were slipping, all the teachers especially her uncle had tried to talk to her but they all ended up with the same result nothing. Her uncle knew a little more the others but still she couldn't talk to him. She sighs looking down at the parchment find a heart with JS + ES best sister for ever written in the middle. She slowly traced her finger around the heart. The sisters had made a big sign of that when they were younger and they always believe that, until now. She quickly crumbled up the parchment as Ron, Hermione and Emma came into the room throwing it into the fire.
"How am I supposed to practice if I'm not having any of those dreams?" Ron rumbled.
Hermione rolls her eyes "give it time Ron. You've had one night."
Julia sits up placing the parchment into the text book and closing it as Emma says. 'You have a month to practice Ron and Mother Nature meant more then just having dreams. She's hoping that at some point when you just touch something or someone you might be able to see something what happened or is going to happen to that person or object."
Ron rumbles something sitting down beside Julia. Julia gets up "well ill be outside."
Hermione looks over 'oh I'll come with you."
Julia frowns 'I'd rather be alone'
Hermione looks at her 'you really think its wise to be alone.
Ron moves his hand slightly accidentally brushing Julia's hand then pulls his hand back as it feels like something is cutting into his wrist. He looks down to find it bleeding. He felt pain in his back like cuts where there too. Something caught his attention and he realized he was in a different dormitory. He saw Julia lying on a bed while Draco put some kind of potion on cuts on her back. Shaking his head he realized that Hermione had been calling his name.
"Ron…. Ron… Ronald what's wrong." Hermione said standing over him.
Ron looks down at his wrist and the cut was going as was the pain. He looked over at Julia. "Your getting another one of those cuts isn't you."
Julia rolls her eyes "I'm getting tired of very one being in my head. First Harry and now you." Is the only answer she gives.
Emma studies her sister grabbing her by the arm and dragging her upstairs. She sits Julia on her bed before standing with her hands on her hips. 'Ok where do you keep the stuff?"
Julia sighs 'I can handle this myself you know."
Emma just remains standing there 'either I help you or I am going to go to uncle Snape and get his help to get you to the hospital wing."
Julia looks like she is going to fight back for a moment but changes her mind and lays face down on her bed. 'In my chest there's a potion bottle."
Emma walks to the foot of the bed and opens Julia's chest finding the bottle. She sets the bottle on the night stand and rolls Julia's shirt up a bit revealing all the cuts on her back. Emma lets out a little gasp. 'Oh sissy. You need to get this looked at.'
"No way. And you can't say anything Em' Julia replies.
Emma turns to the night stand to pick up the potion pausing for a sec when she notices something written on a piece of parchment. It was an old symbol the girls use to live by as kids. A heart with their names inside. Not wanting Julia to know she saw it she quickly turns back to the bed and Julia
"Uncle Snape could make these go away you know." Emma says starting to apply the mixture. She only stops when Julia starts to gasp a little in pain."
"Yea, yea… Draco's been trying to convince me of that for months now.' Even just saying his name hurt a little.
"Ok done you can get up." Emma recaps the bottle and puts in back in Julia's chest. Julia gets up and fixes her shirt and gives herself a look over in the mirror. Grabbing a brush she runs it through her hair a couple times. They return downstairs to find Hermione and Ron sitting on the couch talking. They both look up as the twins return to the common room.
"Ok… Harry mentioned yesterday that the sister disappeared from moaning murtles bathroom. I say that's our first stop. Ron will stay here if Harry wakes up, though I think he will be out for a while. We girls will check out the bathroom.
"Why don't we just try Dumbledore office for the list of students missing?" Julia speaks up.
"Right and how are we going to get in there with out anyone noticing?" Ron says.
"I've been able to snap into almost every room in this castle" Julia shot back
Ron gets up standing in front of Julia "you think you're so great don't you."
"What if Dumbledore wants to help us. It's not like he is just going to give students a list of his findings you know."
Before Ron can answer back Hermione is between the two of them 'ok enough. We will talk about this later.' She says guiding Emma and Julia out of the room.
"So what's so special about this bathroom anyway. 'Emma asks.
"Well it's hunted by a former student from the school. She died in there and never left. She likes to flood the wash room from time to time when she's upset."
Julia laughs a little "nice."
The girls enter the washroom looking around. They wander around for a bit before Julia speaks up. "Ok what are we looking for?"
"Anything that seems out of place, does anything seemed moved or shouldn't be in here." Hermione says.
Julia looks over at her "we are in a washroom anything in here could look out of place."
Emma and Julia jump as a moaning sound echoes through the washroom and moaning mutrle appears from one of the toilets. "Can a girl get no privacy in her own washroom?" She asks.
Hermione turns to mutrle like she is an old friend. 'We wanted to ask you a few questions about the girl that disappeared from this washroom. "She says."
"Is Harry with you… I'll talk to him?" Mutrle replies.
"Harry is a little busy right now." Hermione says.
"Then I have nothing to say to you" she says moaning again and disappearing into the toilet.
Emma turns to Hermione "does she have a crush on Harry or something" she asks.
Hermione nods 'yea... you can say that."
The girls look around the washroom. Julia getting bored of this whole thing very quickly. She starts waving her hands around making the doors on the stalls open and closes quickly and slowly then quickly again.
Emma and Hermione jump as the doors open and close looking around. 'Is that Murtle doing that?" Emma asks Hermione.
"It is something she would do but I don't think it's her' Hermione answers.
"You guys don't think the trios the only ones whose power is growing do you." Julia asks from behind them.
They both turn to look at Julia 'you've never been able to do that before." Emma states.
Julia shrugs 'it started after the article in the paper about mom, when I was at home in my room. I got mad and everything started to fly around.' Julia replies. 'Most of the time I have a good handle on it."
"You're just telling me about this now sis." Emma says a little hurt.
"Right like we have wanted to talk to each other in the last few months.' Julia snaps back. 'I haven't even told draco about this." She says storming out of the washroom.
Hermione turns to Emma after Julia leave "you two really need to sit down and talk. You need to be on the same page if we want this thing to work."
Emma gives a small nod "I know… I know she needs a shoulder to cry on but it's hard to get back to that place we use to be."
Hermione gives Emma a quick hug before the leave the washroom.
