FINALLY!
CHAPTER 10
"Harry isn't on the train!" I exclaimed.
"What do you mean Harry isn't on the train?" Percy asked confused.
"Ron isn't either."
"Really? Those two cannot be trusted with anything", Percy complained. Then Fred and George showed up.
"What's up?"
"Ron and Harry didn't manage to get onto the train", I explained.
"Did they? Well, don't have to worry. Mum and Dad are still there, they'll get them go to school."
"Yeah… probably", but in the back of my mind was something that told me this couldn't be okay. And on my right, because later I got told Harry and Ron had flown Mr. Weasley's car to school.
"Harry!" I yelled as he entered the common room later that evening, "What the hell were you thinking? Do you even realize what could've happen to you? It is a great surprise you're still alive, you may be happy you are still alive!" Harry looked at his feet. I sighed. "Just go to bed now, and make sure such a things won't happen again. Professor Dumbledore probably won't give you a second chance." How does such a things always happen to Harry? But much time to think of it wasn't meant for me. My sixth year was a bunch of classes and a lot of homework. Even though I only had to study for my N.E.W.T's classes, I didn't have much free time as teachers gave so much homework I couldn't keep up with it, not even with all my free periods.
It was on the night of Halloween, that suspicious things started happening at Hogwarts again. Percy and I came back from the feast when we bumped into a large group of people, standing in the middle of the corridor. As Percy had made it to Head Boy this year, he marched himself forward to get a closer look. A deadly silence had fallen over all the students when suddenly Mr. Filch came running over.
"What's going on?" he asked as he punched me aside. "My cat! My cat! What's happened to Mrs. Norris?" I heard Filch shriek. Standing on my toes I could just see what was happening. Mrs. Norris was hanging with her tail from a torch bracket, stiff as a board and looking quite dead.
"You!" Filch called my attention from the cat to him, "You! You've murdered my cat!" his old and grumpy finger pointing at the boy with the messy black hair. "You've killed her! I'll kill you! I'll-"
"Argus!" Dumbledore had arrived just on time, followed by a few teachers. Dumbledore spoke a few things to Mr. Filch, Harry, Ron and Hermione as our new DADA teacher stepped forward.
"My office is nearest, Headmaster-just upstairs-please feel free-" And I stood there, watching Harry and his friends walk away. Now Professor Lockhart, smiling a smile with teeth that couldn't have been more white, demanded us all to go to our common room, so the silent crowd divided and quickly broke into talking.
"What was that?" I asked.
"Emily, was that Harry? Looks like he's in trouble", said Rose.
"It looks as if Mr. Filch's cat is dead, and Harry is the one who must've done it", Percy told me later in our common room.
"What? You don't believe that, do you? I know we all hate Mrs. Norris, but none of us would try to kill her, certainly not Harry." Of that I was very sure.
Harry wasn't suspected guilty, although a lot of people started worrying about the attack as, after Mrs. Norris, a first-year got attacked too. He was known, by Ginny, as an enormous fan of Harry. Speaking about Ginny, the girl had started her first year as a Gryffindor, but she didn't look good. Maybe she was ill? Or did things not go as well as she hoped. I once spoke about it with her, but she was very short and obviously not wanted to talk to me. There came a moment that even I didn't know it all anymore, I got lost in homework, worried about other people and especially worried about the attacks still going around.
Dumbledore finally decided to organize a dueling club for all students. So when the first lesson started everyone headed down the Great Hall, except from me. I wandered around in the castle once more. It felt like many of my nights last year, feeling to full of everything. Paintings greeted me as I passed and I eventually stood in front of a window that looked out over the grounds of Hogwarts castle. I definitely did hear something behind me, I was even just about to turn. When something reflected into the glass of the window. It was only a fraction of reflection, but I caught it. A big pair of shiny yellow eyes…
Okay so first of all, I'm so goddamn sorry I have been off for more than months. I had a hard time, and I might still be having a hard time... But I really thought it would be so fair to write you just a little bit
