On the train home, Meri and Cri sat together. They talked about how much they loved each others gifts and how they both wanted Meri to visit again.

"I love your house Cri. I finally felt accepted into a family. I think Artemis feels the same." He said looking over at Artemis and Gemini, who were curled up together in one seat.

Suddenly the compartment door swung opened and Isis entered.

"Hello Isis. What's wrong?" Cri asked, looking at the expression on her face. "I'm being chased. By a Slytherin.I keep dodging spells. But I don't think I can dodge them all. Let me hide here please." She ended, gasping for breath. They agreed and hid her behind a seat.

Soon enough, a Slytherin sixth year came into the compartment. "Where did she go?" He asked. "Who are you talking about?" Asked Cri. " Don't fool with me I know you're lying!" He boomed. "Who are you talking about!?" Yelled Meri this time. "I will be your worst nightmare at Hogwarts until next year!" He said and finally left the compartment.

They waited for a few minutes to make sure he was really gone until they summoned Isis to come out. "What happened Isis?" Asked Cri. "He said that I was a Mudblood, and that all mudbloods should die. Then he started shooting spells at me. I don't think it's right, being attacked just because you're half Muggle." She broke down into tears and Cri put her arm around her to comfort her. "Don't worry, Isis, we'll protect you." Meri said.

The rest of the train ride, Isis rode with them. They cheered her up by showing each other what they all got for Christmas. Isis laughed at the little figurine of the Hungarian Horntail, until it sneezed and caught her shirt on fire.

When they were only ten minutes from school, they changed into their robes. Soon the train stopped and they were back home. They left their things on the train and made their way back to the castle. When they finally got back to the Gryffindor Common room, Cri, Meri and Isis were surprised to find only one person there. The little girl looked up and told Isis that Dumbledoor wanted to see her immediately. So Isis turned around and left the Common Room. Cri said her goodnights to Meri and kissed him on the cheek. When she went up to her dorm, she found Gemini purring contently on her bed. Beside Gemini, lay a parcel and a note. She picked up the parcel and unwrapped it. A notebook and pen fell out and onto the bed. The notebook was black and Velvety. On the cover, Cristantinan Mericumis, her name, was printed in fine gold lettering. Next she opened the note, it read;

This notebook holds many mysterious secrets. If you can find them, then you will hold its power within.

There was no signature but the lettering was very neat and loopy. She picked up the pen. She opened the notebook to its first page. With the pen she wrote the word "Gemini" on the tab. The ink was a deep purple and when the words touched the tab, they seemed to soak into the paper. She looked through the rest of the paper and could not find the word. When she flipped back however, there where more words written in deep crimson red.

"Gemini, What a beautiful cat. Did you know she's a human?"

Cri wrote "yes" and waited. More inky words appeared.

"I'm glad someone finally writes me."

"What is this?" Cri asked.

"In time you will find out." It responded.

"Who sent this to me? There was no name." Cri wrote.

"I do not know." It responded.

"Well I'll talk to you later. I've got to go to bed." Cri said, the last of her ink disappearing.

"Good-night." It said and quickly its ink faded too. She stuck the pen, notebook, and note into her side table drawer and slipped on her Pajamas. She crawled into bed and was soon in a deep slumber.
