I had finally started getting used to school.

"So let me get this straight, you guys ride in trains, you have elevators, but you don't use pencils?"

"They aren't nessesery to what we do."

"But you can't erase with feather quills!" I knew it was pointless to argue over my writting utencil, but it sure waisted a ton of time!

The teacher sighed. "Class is over anyway."

I beamed. I had just waisted another whole period. I skipped off to my next class. When I accidently bumped into Hermione.

"Look what you made me do!" she exclaimed.

"Sorry," I mumbled.

"Sorry doesn't do it! Now I'll never be on time!"

I rolled my eyes and headed off to class.

It was later that night and Allison had sent me an e-mail. I had recently found out that dad convinced the school to let me come home for a short amount of time for Thanksgiving, since it had been my favorite holiday since I was five. It was nice to hear from her again. I felt bad for almost forgetting about her. It would be nice to kick back for a few days and hang out with my muggle friends. I was still planning on telling her the truth though, no mater what the stupid Ministry said. She was my friend and I wasn't lying to her.

"Woof?" Toby tilted his head.

"-What? Oh, sorry boy, go fetch!" We had been playing, but I'd been completely absorbed in my daydream.

Toby chased after the tennis ball and ran back to me.

"Drop it," I commanded.

He obeyed.

"Good boy!" and I threw it again.

We played for about an hour, then we lied on the floor as I stroked his fur, when I noticed something strange.

There was an odd scab on his left leg. I tried to take a closer look, but he growled and lashed at aggresively.

I jumped back in surprise. "Calm down," I whispered in a soothing voice, as I reached for it again.

This time he clawed and tried to bite me!

I yelped in shock. I had never seen him act that way before.

I looked at the scratch in my arm. Something was wrong with my dog, ad I had an uneasy feeling that Voldemort might be behind it...
