The Magic Within
Chapter 11: Dark Secrets in the Forbidden Forest
With Gryffindor losing 150 points they were in the very last place for the House Cup. But with Hufflepuff losing 100 points they were also near the last place for the House Cup. Abbie's confidence was at an all-time low with both the detention and losing so many points for Hufflepuff.
But while Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood by her it seemed like her friends form Hufflepuff wanted nothing to do with her anymore. And it proved that they didn't want anything to do with her with breakfast a few days after the incident occurred. While her friends normally sat next to her they were sitting way down the table with the other Hufflepuff's and Abbie was sitting alone at the very end of the table.
Abbie was not the only one suffering. Justin was shunned by his friends in Hufflepuff but whenever he saw Abbie walking with Harry, Ron, and Hermione he would her a nasty look like he was going to try something when she was alone.
The only reason he didn't try anything was the fact that her friends from Gryffindor noticed and made sure that he didn't try anything. Another reason was that as soon as she got back to the common room she went straight up to her dorm and spent the entire day there.
As she was getting up to go to the first class for the day she received a note. She opened it and it read: Your detention will take place at eleven o'clock tonight. Meet Mr. Filch in the entrance hall.
Abbie looked up and saw Harry, Hermione, and Ron reading the same thing and then saw Justin get up and was walking towards her and as she got up to get the other's he grabbed her arm and said, "This is all your fault Carson. I won't forget about this. I will make you pay for this and you won't be able to run to your little friends for help."
"Let go of me. It's not my fault you couldn't keep but try to get involved to with my affairs." Abbie pulled her arm from his grasp and walked over to the Gryffindor table. "Ready to get going?"
Harry replied, "Yeah. Is everything okay? We say Justin walk over to you."
Abbie nodded, "Everything is fine. Come on guys."

Abbie looked down at her watch and as it hit 10:30 she put on her Hufflepuff cloak and tied her sneakers and then walked down to the common room. As she walked down into the common room it became silent. She quickly walked out and then made her way to the Entrance Hall.
As Justin made his way down shortly after her Abbie felt like somebody had punched her in the stomach. Justin not only mentally scared her he physically scared. When Harry, Ron, and Hermione made their way down Abbie walked over to them and said, "Thank god. Justin is such a creep."
Harry put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Why what happened?"
"The usual giving me this look like he wants to kill me. But I am glad that we all detention tonight so it's not just me and him because he may have threaten me before."
As they walked onto the grounds of Hogwarts Ron said, "What do you mean that he threatened you?"
Abbie sighed, "The normal about how he is going to get me back for making him have detention."
As they walked across the grounds with Filch she could hear him going on about old punishments but she didn't care about what he was saying she was to focused on making sure that Justin didn't try anything.
What did he mean when he said that he would get me back for this and that I wouldn't be able to run to my friends for help? Why is he so mad at me when it's his own fault that he got detention?
Abbie looked up and said, "Harry it's looks like were heading for Hagrid's hut."
Harry looked over at where they were heading at said, "I think that your right Abbie."
It turned out that Abbie was right because they stopped right near Hagrid's hut and Filch said, "You're not still on about that bloody dragon are you?"
Hagrid sniffed and said, "Norbert's gone. Dumbledore sent him Romania to live in a colony."
"That's good. He'll be with his own kind."
Hagrid said, "But what if he doesn't like living in a colony? What if the other dragons are mean to him?"
"Hagrid isn't it better for him there. He wouldn't be happy living in your hut for his entire life and never being able to see what the world has to offer him. Who knows you might see him again but this not in your cabin."
Hagrid nodded and said, "I guess your right Abbie. Follow me."
The five of them followed Hagrid until his stopped and bent down to a shimmering pile of something. Hagrid dipped two of his fingers in and Harry said, "Hagrid what is that?"
"That's unicorn blood. I found one dead a few weeks ago but I reckon this one has been injured by someone. And it's our job to put it out of its misery. Well split into two groups. Ron, Abbie, and Hermione will come with me. Harry your with Justin and Fang."
Harry simply nodded and went one way as Abbie, Ron, Hermione, and Hagrid went the other.

As they climbed deeper and deeper into the forest Abbie was starting to feel uneasy about what was happening. "Hagrid. Are Harry and Justin going to be okay? I don't care about Justin but Harry is one of my best friends."
Hagrid looked at Abbie and said, "I'm sure that they will be fine Abbie. But it isn't like you to not care about someone. You're the most compassionate person I know. What's up?"
"Justin blames me for him getting detention even though he was the one trying to figure out where I was going and that fact he threaten me. He said that he would get me back and I wouldn't be able to run to my Gryffindor friends for help so that has set me on edge. I'm just glad my little brother isn't here or there would be a major problem with those two."
Ron looked over at her with his eyebrows raised and Abbie said, "My brother and I are both protective of each other. We love each other to death and would do anything for each other no what the consequences are."
Hermione said, "Sounds like you two have a good relationship."
Abbie nodded and said, "Yeah we do," Abbie looked around and said, "I don't think there is anything this way?"
Hagrid said, "I believe your right Abbie."
Ron, Hermione, and Abbie looked at each other and yelled, "HARRY!"
Hagrid looked over at them at said, "What?"
"If Justin see's anything that looks remotely dangerous he will run for the hills and will leave Harry to deal with it on his own."
Hagrid then said, "Let's go find them then."
Just as the four of them turned around a person screamed and ran into Hagrid. It turned out that Justin ran into them when they discovered the unicorn.
"You are an absolute moron. You know that right Justin?"
He sneered and said, "What was I supposed to do let him get me. Better him than me."
"Do you hear yourself? And you're in the house for the loyal don't make me laugh. You're nothing but a scared little kid running for cover. Come on. Let's get Harry out of here."
Abbie, Hermione, Ron, and Hagrid started running to where Justin came from. "What are you doing? What about that cloaked figure?"
Abbie then yelled, "Who cares! Harry's our friend and we'll do anything to protect him. Even if it means risking our own lives."

As they made it to the clearing that Harry was they saw him talking to a centaur and then Hagrid, "Hello Firenze I see you've met our young Mr. Potter."
Harry nodded and walked over to Hermione, Abbie, and Ron. "I'm so glad that you guys are okay. I was worried that it had hurt you guys."
Abbie smiled, "It takes more than that to…"
Abbie stopped mid-sentence and fell to the ground clutching her right knee with tears streaming down her face. As Harry, Ron, and Hermione knelt down near her Harry said, "What is it Abbie? What's wrong?"
Justin laughed, "I told I would get you back for getting me detention. You and your little group of friends sneaking out to see that big oaf in the middle of the night but I was the one with the last laugh."
Harry then said, "What did you do to her?"
"It was just a spell that my mother taught me and my parents are followers of Voldemort. And that spell can't be healed by any use of magic spells. It can only be used by muggle ways. It's fitting considering that she is a Muggleborn and a mudblood."
He then left laughing and Harry yelled, "HAGRID!"
As he came running over he said, "Where's Justin? What happened to Abbie?"
Hermione then said, "Justin attacked her. She needs help."
Hagrid gently picked her up and said, "I'll bring her to the Hospital Wing. When we get back to the school you three go straight up to Gryffindor Tower."
The three of them started to protest and Hagrid said, "I'm sure that your be able to see her tomorrow but you don't know what's going to happen to her and I don't want you three to see that."
He then started toward the castle with the three of them on his heels.

Hagrid ran into the Hospital Wing with Professor Sprout near him and she said, "Lay her here I'll go get Madame Pomfrey."
He laid her on the bed and waited for Professor Sprout and Madame Pomfrey to walk out. As they walked over and Madame Pomfrey saw Abbie clutching her leg she turned to Hagrid and said, "What happened to her?"
"Justin Manyard attacked her with a certain spell that his parent's taught him. They were followers of You-Know-Who."
Madame Pomfrey then said, "Thank you Hagrid. Please go inform Professor Dumbledore about what has occurred."
Hagrid nodded and left. Madame Pomfrey then turned to Professor Sprout and said, "I will take care of her and you can be sure that she will be okay. Maybe you should inform her friends what has happened to her?"
Professor Sprout turned to Madame Pomfrey and said, "Her friends from Hufflepuff haven't spoken to her since she lost the points from Hufflepuff. She is always seen with Harry, Ron, and Hermione though. They will probably see her tomorrow. What about her family?"
Madame Pomfrey thought about it carefully and then said, "I would inform them so that they can come see here. I hear that she is very close to her mother and brother."
Professor Sprout nodded and then left and Madame Pomfrey turned to Abbie and said, "It's alright Abigail you're going to be fine."

Hagrid said the password to Dumbledore's office and then walked through the door and knocked on his door.
"Enter."
Hagrid entered and said, "Professor Dumbledore a situation between two of the student's has occurred and we thought you should know."
"Which two students?"
Hagrid said, "Abigail Carson and Justin Manyard."
"Justin seems to always be the cause of trouble between the Hufflepuff students. Is Abigail going to be alright?"
Hagrid replied, "I didn't stay long enough to find out."
"Thank you Hagrid. You may go."
Hagrid opened the door and left while Dumbledore put his hands under his chin and thought about what had happened.
