Chapter 14: A Bad Start Of The Term

Lizzy's pov

The train pulled up and I just got my robe over my head.

I been having some nightmares but when I'm around my friends from this world they seem to go away.

I don't know if Sirius is like this or is it just cause of me.

I'm not to sure but James likes to poke fun at him.

So I took some revenge on him for both of us.

So we got out and headed for the carriages.

I saw horse looking creatures with wings and huge white eyes.

I never seen anything like them before.

But the feeling I was getting off them wasn't evil but good.

I smiled as I walked up to one and patted its head.

It closed its eyes and put its head against my hand.

"Lizzy bear what are you doing?"

Sirius said from behind me.

I turned around to look at him.

"Don't you see them?"

I said to him.

He looked around me and looked at the sweet creature.

"I don't see anything Lizzy?"

Sirius said.

"I guess I can only see them."

I said with one last pat to the creature then got in the carriage.

Sirius got in and sat next to me.

He had a worried look on his face.

"What is wrong with you?"

I asked him and he stared at me.

"I'm worried about you Lizzy."

He said with worry in his voice.

"Why are you worried about mate?"

James asked Sirius.

Sirius never looked away from me while he talked.

"She was patting a creature that only she can see mate."

Sirius said as we bumped long the road.

"What creature?"

Peter squeaked with fear.

"The ones that are pulling the carriages."

I said to them.

They looked out of the windows to the front of the carriage.

"We don't see anything."

James and Remus said at the same time.

Then they came back in and sat down.

"I will find out what they are. I'm not crazy!"

I growled at them.

I'm starting to feel like they think I'm crazy.

No one said anything for the rest of the way to the school.

Once out of the carriage I walked into the school and headed for the great hall. The boys were walking behind me.

I sat at the end of the table the guys looked at me as they sat down.

I put my head down on the table and started to think.

I didn't hear what the headmaster was talking about or the sorting.

I was hungry on the train but now I wasn't so hungry.

So when the food came out I just kept my head down.

"Lizzy why aren't you eating?"

Sirius said with worry.

I just kept my mouth shut and looked away from him.

"I guess she is mad."

James whispered to the others.

I could hear them whispering.

Still I didn't say anything.

When the feast was over I head to the common room.

The boys watched me as I sat in front of the fire.

I had my back up against the couch as I watched the others come and go to bed. Then I got up cause tomorrow we have our first lessons.

But after that I will go to the library to find out what the sweet creatures are. "Night."

I growled at the boys and left before they could say anything.

I went to my dorm and crawled into my warm soft bed and fell asleep.

After our lessons was over I headed for the library.

I didn't eat all day cause during our lunch I headed for the library.

But I couldn't find anything there.

So I came back to see.

They have a lot of books on different creatures.

So this is going to take some time to look threw all of this books.

Before I started my search for the second time I did my homework so I wouldn't fall behind.

I sat in the very back of the huge library so no one would bother me.

But Sirius and the others found me.

"Here you are Lizzy. We been looking for you."

James said as he sat down and picked up one of the books I pulled down.

I didn't say anything as I put the book I finished down in the pile of the books I finished reading.

"Why aren't you talking to us Lizzy?"

Sirius whined at me as he sat next to me.

"Don't you see that I am busy."

I said as I pulled another book towards me.

I know I sounded mean but they will see that I'm not crazy.

"What are you doing?"

Remus asked me.

"I'm looking for something."

I said with a smile at him.

He smiled back at me.

"Why are you being nice to Remus but not us?"

James said as he pulled out my homework and started to read it.

I rolled my eyes and pulled my homework out of his hands.

"Cause I have my reasons. And you do your own work and stop copying mine."

I growled at him.

James just smiled that smile of his and I threw a book at him.

"Ouch!"

James yelped.

I smiled as I started to read again.

"Lizzy?"

Sirius said softly to me.

"What?"

I whispered cause She was coming.

"What are you trying to find?"

He whispered back as the librarian walked past us.

"I'm not going to tell you till I find it."

I growled softly.

They didn't say anything but they started on their homework.

So I read more and more books but still nothing.

But then I found what I was looking for.

"Found it!"

I said a little to loudly making the boys jump.

"Found what?"

Sirius said as he looked at me.

"Thestrals are what I saw."

I said to them.

"What are Thestrals?"

Remus asked me.

I smiled as I started to read.

"Thestrals are huge winged horses with white shining eyes, dragonish faces and necks, and skeletal black bodies. They are attracted to the smell of blood. Thestrals are invisible to anyone who has not seen death. They are amazingly magical animals, however. People used to think they were bad omens, that seeing them meant bad luck, but this is just superstition. Thestrals have an amazing sense of direction and move magically fast through the air."

I said to them.

"You seen death?"

Sirius said to me with sadness in his voice.

I looked away from them.

"I seen a lot of deaths over the years. That is why I can see them."

I said as I got up and put the books away then packed up my stuff.

"Sorry Lizzy."

James said to me.

I shook my head.

"Nothing to be sorry James. Will I see you guys back at the common room."

I said before I left them.

As I walked back to the common room I ran into some of the Slytherin girls.

"Oh look is a Gryffindor brat."

One of the girls said with a sneer.

I tried to walk around them but they blocked me.

"What do you want?"

I said to them.

But they pulled out their wands and I was sent flying back into the wall hard.

I spit out blood when I landed on the floor.

I pulled out my wand.

"You will regret that!"

I yelled in Greek.

They looked at me as I made them hurt with out my wand.

I made sure they couldn't scream out.

Once they passed out from the pain I left them there.

"Damn the start of the term and I have this to deal with."

I said to my self as I walked up the stairs to Gryffindor tower.

But what I didn't know was that things was going to get a lot worse.

I hope you like this chapter. I had a few idea's to make my future chapters. So I will try and post a new chapters as soon as I get a review. If not I will try and post one up every week. When one chapter is done I will work on the next one. But if I get a review for another chapter then this one will have to wait. Sorry about that. But on the weekends I like to work on my other story's or start a new one that I have a idea for so I don't lose it. While that is it for now. Thank you all for reading and I hope you keep on reading.
