I went to bed not long after that with the thought that Mum had lied to me still flying around in my head. I don't understand why would she lie? She's never lied to me before. So now along with helping to find out what Snape is trying to steal from Fluffy, I now have to find out who sent me this present and why my Mum lied.

That night the dreams/nightmares came back again, Father, Mum, the couple with the crying woman. They all started swirling around, I heard the baby crying and screaming, Father yelling, Mum's voice, the woman sobbing, the kids from muggle school, Dudley, Malfoy. "You freak!" "If there's one thing I don't do, it's tell lies." "It will be ok." "Go away you weirdo!" "I got a new bike, it's so great." "You fainted at the sight of the troll!" It continued until I woke up shaking in my bed.

I looked like over to the only other occupied bed, Lavender was still sleeping soundly so obviously I hadn't woken her. However I couldn't say the same about Mabel, she was now sitting near my feet looking at me with wide eyes. I reached down and gave her a pat, she meowed and walked up the bed towards me, then proceeded to rub her face against mine and she purred softly.

'Thanks Mabel, see you in the morning.' I smiled before laying back down and going off to sleep again.

However the next morning I woke up and saw the dorm room was empty, Lavender was gone. Confused I got out of bed and went to the top of the stairs, looking down I could see Harry sitting on the lounge watching the fire so I went and joined him.

'You took your time getting up this morning.' He said turning to face me.

'What time is it?' I asked.

'Ten o'clock.'

'Wow, I didn't realise I slept in so late.'

'It's ok, anyway, do you wanna go get some breakfast?'

'Sure.' Then we stood up and left the common room.

Breakfast was the same as usual and the Great Hall had been returned to normal, with the tables back in their usual spots and the houses ignoring each other again. The teachers stayed quiet and didn't address the students, so life was continuing on as if yesterday hadn't happened.

We spent the rest of the day just talking and wandering around. I wore my new cloak and Harry had been given extra sweets, both muggle and wizard, and he offered to share them with me. So we ate them in the currently empty boys dorm, we would have eaten them in my dorm, but boys aren't allowed in because apparently the stairs flatten out into a slide so they can't walk up them. I would like to see that happen to Malfoy and watch him scream!

'I love caramels.' I said munching on one of the many jersey caramels in the

large bag.

'I like the chocolate frogs.' Harry replied. 'Besides I think I might start collecting the cards.'

'Hey, I dare you to eat a Berty Botts Every Flavour Bean.' I challenged.

'If you do it with me.' He replied and I nodded. So we each grabbed a random bean and ate it, Harry nearly spat his out as did I. 'Yuck! Tripe.'

'Ugh! Liquorice.' Swallowed the lolly then laughed as Harry did the same.

'So what was the other present you got?' He asked causally grabbing a jelly slug.

'This.' I showed him the vile that I now wear around my neck next to the necklace. 'And this.' I gave him the note. 'The writing is the same as my locket.'

'You never told me that you have a locket.' He said surprised.

'Yeah, have a look.' I took it out from underneath my shirt and showed him. He looked at it then glanced at the letter.

'You're right, "Rose" looks exactly the same. 'Who gave you the locket?'

'My Mum.'

'So your Mum sent you this?'

'No. Neither of those match her handwriting and she doesn't use my middle name very much. So she lied to me and all of this has come from someone else.'

'Are you sure?'

'Yeah.' I replied and we slipped into an awkward silence, neither of us knowing what to say next until Harry spoke.

'You know I'm always here for you. Hermione and Ron are to.'

'I know, but I'd like to keep this between the two of us.'

'Ok.' He replied. 'Do you have any idea who sent this stuff to you? Or why they did?'

'No, but I'm going to find out.' I said determined.

'Speaking of finding out, what about Nicholas Flamel? We still need to find out what Fluffy's guarding.

'We should go check the library.'

'We've looked a hundred times though.'

'We haven't been in the restricted area and with your invisibility cloak, we could do it easily.'

'Alright, tonight then?'

'Sure, after everyone else has gone to bed.'
