Vision
In which a very
Tragic Vision
Comes true, and
"Part One: Silence" ends.
And part two begins
Water is fierce
Tragedy is light
They both pull you
As tears turn to ice
And you billow away
Unto the storm
And into the
Flashing night
Say good-bye
Young child
Wipe the tears from
Your frozen eyes
It was stupid.
Yet if it was stupid, why did she feel threatened? Why did she feel insulted? Why did she suddenly doubt herself? Why couldn't she assure herself that she was innocent? Why? The questions ran through the child's mind. It was like the headmaster had been looking right at her. It was like his accusing dark eyes were talking to her, saying to her: I know what you did, that day. Reminding her of that cold day in March when she was truly desperate. It brought back flashbacks so vivid, she'd cry. They came back rarely now, however, for it seemed she could pull herself into a world, and use herself, her voice to persuade the flashbacks to stop.
Yet whenever she'd do that she'd doubt her own sanity. Stephanie only pretended to be confident. For she was afraid, afraid of losing herself. Of losing others she cared for…not…. like…. before…. no! No, nothing would be the same; nothing had been the same after that day in March.
"One of you is the thief…" He had said, so bluntly. She had wanted to scream. 'It wasn't me, no not this time!' But she did not, no, things just didn't work that way.
They never did.
Stephanie felt Isabel's eyes on her, she probably saw Stephanie biting her lip hard, so hard the red liquid escaped her lip, and a sharp mild pain came, the taste in her mouth was like copper pennies. She stopped, and tried to let her lip heal itself, as the blood slowly stopped, she smiled awkwardly at Isabel. Although Stephanie wondered if her action of fear, made people think she was the thief.
Yora looked around at her fellow peers, and counted twelve children (Including herself of course!) total. It was a lot of suspects. Yet somehow, Severus Snape was sure one of them was the thief? And, something had been stolen? What had? What was so precious, a simple-minded eleven-year-old had somehow taken it? Yora pondered this, not sure what to think.
The two teachers and the headmaster led the children outside. The male teacher did a spell that brought a few boats together, making the boat larger, and now hosting seats for all the children. One of which was a thief.
That thief was not Yora, for Yora had stolen nothing.
Tyler rolled his eyes. These people were being stupid. How'd they expect eleven-year-old to steal something? He found it a bit threatening, but still, he wondered if he could just slip away from the crowd…he tried, and it ended unsuccessfully.
But one thing that even though Tyler was confused, there was one thing he did know about the thief, they no one else but himself may know…
Tyler was not the thief.
Ricky examined the boat, and carefully stepped in. He took a seat near the back, trying to keep his footing balanced, for he didn't fancy falling into the water. A few kids some of which were his friends from the train, followed in, and the rest eventually came into the boat. There were six girls, long hair tied back or on their backs, Anna among them. And there were six boys, him, Tyler, Jaden, the boy who fell in the lake earlier. And two others, totaling six. Twelve children together. Why were there so many suspects?
The teachers accompanied them. In a separate boat to the side, as they slowly went across the lake. The boats moved themselves, just as they had done with the first years coming to Hogwarts with them earlier. As the boat rolled each children was caught up in his, or her own thoughts. Soon the boat reached the middle of the lake.
It was than that the boat suddenly stopped. For several minutes it did not move. The Slytherin girl near the front let out a loud, irritated sigh. Showing her annoyance. Tyler began wondering aloud about why the boat wasn't moving, he fingered his Ravenclaw robes. The children looked around for the boat of teachers but it appeared it was gone.
Suddenly the boat was quickly flipped, and the children were quickly pulled underwater. As Yora began to drown she saw a sudden vision…she had seen it when she was talking to Harry in the kitchen at her home, she had seen it at the wedding, upon coming to Hogwarts, the lake vision it kept reoccurring.
And now, here it was coming true.
The children were pulled beneath the surface, crying, fear and confusion bubbling up within them. Yora felt tears sting her eyes, as the air was slowly let out of her lungs.
And everything went black.
END OF PART ONE
Fear is frozen
Upon the river
It sits waiting
Endlessly,
As you embrace the cold
Icy water
The blackness of death
Beckons you
Until you
May just be
Truly defeated
