Nina
I was heading back to the Gryffindor common room, when I overheard Hagrid yelling agitatedly. "Hagrid, no one would've tried to get past our defenses," I heard McGonagall say. "It's just, I never seen Fluffy so agitated!" Hagrid protested. "Maybe he just wanted more bones," McGonagall reasoned. "But…" Hagrid lowered his voice so I had to strain to hear him, "If anythin' happened to the Elixir, I'd be held accountable. You know they don' like me o'er at the Ministry. An' they think I knows somethin' 'bout the Cup o' Ankh, an' they want that fer inspection. Especially since I visited ole Sarah a lot. I wonder what she's been up to…" he trailed off, but my head was buzzing. I ran off to talk to Fabian.

"And that's how you cast a Patronus. Of course, only a powerful wizard can cast it, though." I told Joy. She'd wanted study-buddy sessions a lot more recently. I wonder why…Nina burst through the opening. "Fabian, I need to talk to you." She declared, but Joy intervened. "I think he's a little busy," she said, inching closer to me. I moved a little bit away. "Why don't ya take yer huge glutes and make yerself busy with goin' upstairs?" she asked, slipping into a country accent. Joy huffed, but, after looking at my expectant expression, did go upstairs.
Nina plopped down on the couch next to me. "So, you're from the south?" I asked. Nina blushed. "Yeah, I've been trying to drop the accent, but I go into it when I'm angry," she bit her lip. "You know that we British people like southern accents don't you?" I teased. Nina laughed, but her expression turned serious. "You will not believe what I just heard," she said, and, leaning in, she told me the story. I gasped. "So, you think that THE Elixir of Life is in the trapdoor under the dog?" I asked incredulously. Nina bit her lip. "It's crazy, isn't it?" She said. "No, just…wild to think about." I was about to say something else, but all of a sudden, her chest started to glow.

"What the…?" I pulled out the locket Sarah had given me. Why was it gleaming? Fabian stared at it. "Is that the Eye of Horus?" He asked. "Yeah, that old woman I told you about, Sarah, gave it to me." He gaped at me. "How'd she infiltrate the grounds without being detected?" I hastily recounted that story, and his lower jaw touched the floor after I finished. "She's the Chosen One…why is your locket glowing, though?" "I don't…" I suddenly had the urge to check under the staircase that led up to the girl's dormitory.
I walked to it, as if I was in a trance. "Nina?" I heard Fabian say, but I couldn't answer. All that counted was the staircase.

Great, so now Nina was walking like a zombie towards a staircase. What happened? I mean, one second she's normal, the next she's glassy-eyed and intent on a staircase. Once we reached it, Nina went around to the back of it. There was nothing, until Nina pressed her locket to an unnoticeable indentation…the Eye of Horus? A panel of the wood swung open, and Nina grabbed something inside it. The panel swung close, and Nina shook her head, confused. "What just happened?" She asked. "Why am I at the back of a staircase? What am I holding?" She held up an odd looking gold hexagonal object, with hieroglyphs written all over it. I looked at Nina. "I think…" I chose my words carefully. "I think that you just found a piece of the Cup of Ankh."
