O.k. so it's been a while. I'm terribly sorry. I had a bad case of writer's block and I've had a lot of work to do at school. But now we have less than a week of school left and hopefully I will be writing more stories over the summer.

The next few weeks were relatively quiet. Everyone was too busy getting settled in their houses, finding classes, and doing homework. Bleck. There was a lot of it too. Some of the teachers seemed angry about summer being over and were taking it out on the students with homework.

"Why must we write 10 feet of parchment on Voldemort, it's so boring. He came he caused chaos and was defeated, end of story." Jess complained. It was Saturday and the Troublesome Twins, Midge, and I were sitting in the library trying to do our homework.

"It's more than that, he had a whole army of followers, called Death Eaters. All of them had special marks that he would use to call them to him. They were called the Dark Mark," I recited.

"Fi, how can you know this? You haven't even opened your recent history book." Sabe said walking up to our table.

"I don't need my recent history book, it's family history. I've known the whole story since I was 5. My parents defeated Voldemort."

"Really?! Wow. I had no idea that your parents were the ones who beat him. Oh, yeah my name is Sabe. Do you mind if I sit and study with you?"

"Sure. We'd love to have another unsuspecting , I mean person to exper- study with us." Jenn said with an evil grin. Jess's face had the same look.

"Ok....I think I'll just sit over here, as far away for you two as possible." Sabe said as he took a chair across the table from us.

"What's the matter Sabe? Scared of little old us?" Jenn said sweetly. The twins put on their angel faces and batted their eyelashes at Sabe who now looked terrified.

"Frankly, yes. Please stay on that side of the table and keep your wands where I can see them."

We all went back to work on our homework, joking and telling stories. By the time the dinner bell was rung we knew each other's complete history and our homework was barely done. I was beginning to think Sabe wasn't so bad after all. If we got to be good friends then it would be easier to keep an eye on him anyway.

Nothing exciting happened during dinner but on the way back to our houses we had a crisis. I was walking up the stairs to Gryffindor when suddenly I was falling.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The room came into focus slowly and fuzzily. Daddy and Papa were there along with Midge, Jess, Jenn and Sabe. Madame Risika was there trying to convince Papa that I wasn't seriously hurt. Everyone was watching them bicker and didn't notice that I had woken up. My head felt like it had been hit with a bludger and I groaned. Papa stopped bickering with Madame Risika and rushed to the side of the bed.

"Honey? Are you ok? How do you feel? What happened?"

"Papa, stop. Slow down. I'll be fine, I think."

"Uncle Harry? She fell through one of the disappearing steps on the way to Gryffindor. I think she hit her head on the way down, that's what knocked her out." Midge told my worried father.

"If she fell then why doesn't she have any broken bones?" Asked Daddy and he sounded a little worried.

"Uh, Professor? I saw her falling and used a levitating spell to hold her up. I held her in the air until Midge got a hold of her." Sabe said rather timidly. He looked rather uncomfortable sitting in the same room with 2 professors.

"Now, Where's my favorite student?" Dumbledore said as he walked into the room.

"I'm right here headmaster." the twins said at the same time. He gave them a good-humored look and walked over to the bed.

"Are you all right Fiona?" he asked.

"Yes I think I will be. My head feels as though a pair of bludgers are beating against it." I replied.

"I'm sure that's fixable. Madame Risika, if you would be so kind." he stepped aside to let her fix my headache. "Now does anyone know who did this?"

"Dumbledore? I think I know." I said quietly.

oooooo. Don't you just love cliffhangers. I know who did it and next time you will too. This chapter and any of the chapters to come will be shorter because it's easier for me to write and you get the next chapter faster.

I want to thank all of my reviewers, Venusprincess, Avada Kedavera, and all of my other critics. Keep reading and reviewing all my fics.

With love,

~*Sika-chan*~
