Chapter 3 prettifying news and tutoring the dumb

The bright September sun shined brightly through the windows of our common room. No one spoke. No one moved. Everyone was basically thinking the same thing. How did Amanda's rope catch on fire? The ropes were none breakable, and nonflammable. After the coaches had rushed Amanda to the hospital wing everyone, including the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th years were sent to there common rooms. No one was to leave. Rumors of course were spreading like wildfire, about what had happened, and for once the 2nd years were in the spotlight. I need to talk to the headmaster I though as I stared out the window. Something else has happen I know it, why would they send everyone to their rooms? Spell rope has been broken before. Then, suddenly the trap door to our room opened and professor iris appeared looking very grave. "Professor!" "What happened?" "Is it true that the head master is dead?" "How did the rope break?" "Came I get some dinner now?" professor iris held up her hand and the questions stopped. "Miss Amanda will not be returning tonight to her house I'm afraid her wounds are very served. No miss holly, the headmaster is NOT dead; one of the second years was injured at p.e." "Always knew the coaches would flip on day." Some one muttered making a few people smile. "Now you all may proceed to the dining hall for dinner and then you are to return to your rooms." She continued then left a few 1st years following her eagerly. Slowly I looked up at the remaining girls. "So sky you wanted to show me something?" mystic asked as sky nodded her head. "Yes and you too, Connie." "Mind if I come?" Laura asked as sky nodded "yes". We climbed up the ladder to our room and sat down in our hammocks. No one spoke or moved. Finally sky, the ever so blunt one spoke. "There's something else." She said as we all nodded. "I'm not very hungry." Mystic mumbled as I agreed. "We need to go and see her." I whispered as sky shook her head "no". "The hospital wing will be heavily guarded you know there is no way in hell the professors will let us in." "We have to try though," I argued my mind on k'rose. "It's too risky." Sky argued back as Clara walked in. "hey did ya wanna go grab a bit to eat?" she asked as we all chorused "no." "She shrugged and walked out before adding. "She's not in the hospital wing you know." We all stood as Clara smiled. "Where is she Clara?" Laura asked. "Come to dinner with me I don't feel like going by myself." I looked over at mystic would shrugged. "ok." Sky agreed as we all walked over to the door except for Laura. "I'll stay here if that's ok with ya." She said as we shrugged and left. "So where is she?" I hissed as my patience gave out. We walked all the way to the dining hall and got out food and sat down with out any answers. Clara smirked. "The head master's office, I saw them float her there." I stared at her. "Are you sure?" I asked as she nodded. "I'm going to go back and accompany Laura guys, ya stay here." Mystic said as she got up and walked away. "So did ya hear.?" Clara started to gossip as I tuned her out. Something's not right here. I wish I knew where the head master's office was. "Hey ya I'm going to go use the rest room okay?" I got up as Clara frowned. "I'll be back." I assured her as I walked out. Now if I was the head master where would I be? I though as I began my fruitless search. ~*~*~*~*~*~ ~*~*~dream~*~*~"hello?" I called out. No answer, god I hate this room I thought as I stared around the pitch dark room. "She barged for her life, and your powers." That same annoying voice from before said. "Who?" I asked. "The gypsy." "What gypsy?" "The distant of the arines. The first demare to wield the sword of evil." "who?" "efekidedo." It whispered. "Who?" I yelled as the world not for the first time grew hazily and I woke up. ~*~*end of dream and back to reality~*~*



Stars twinkled above the sky as a soft noise woke me up. I had given up my search when the sky had grown really dark. As I returned back to the room I found every one asleep. Slowly I got out of my soft cocoon and walked over to the closed window. Then a rock appeared out of nowhere and hit the window. Shocked I, stupidly, opened the window and a rock again appeared out of nowhere and hit me! "Ouch! Who the crap throws a rock at some one?" I hissed at the dark figure below the tree's canopy. "Me apparently, and I'm sorry I didn't mean to hit you." I froze. I knew that voice. "So are you going to just stand there or are you going to come down so we can go she Amanda?" Charlie asked. I shook my head waking up from my trance. "What? You know where she's at?" I asked as he grinned. "Ok wait I can't open the door it will wake up the others." "Then fly down." He said smiling. I grinned as I turned around and quietly put on my dark green cloak and grabbed k'rose. Slowly I flew down to where the teenager boy was waiting. "Mind if I hop on?" he asked as I nodded. Slowly with Charlie tracking we made our way to the hospital wing. "But I though she had been moved?" I whispered. "Yeah I though so too but I watched them put her back in the room as I was taking a midnight stroll." I looked over at him. "A Midnight stroll, to where, the kitchens?" he grinned in reply. Then the door to the hospital opened. Quickly I flew up into I near by tree branch. Slowly madam dofekima stepped out. "Head master is that you?" she asked as a cat appeared by her feet. Then suddenly the cat turned into the head master! "Omg!" I whispered to an even more shocked Charlie. "Sorry dofekima, I didn't want the students to see me." "Well then hurry in." the nurse said as professor leni stepped in the door way. "We need to contact the girl's parents and Dumbledore." The dada teacher stated as the nurse frowned. "What is it?" the head master urged. "A mono stone." Leni said making the head master, Charlie and I gasp. Mono stones are very illegal and hard to find. They are very powerful stones that were used in the only the worst curses ever. No good could ever come from a mono stone. "Where did you find it?" "Near where the girl had fallen." "Has she been..?" the head master asked as madam dofekima nodded. "Prettified." Leni whispered. I held my breath as Charlie went stone cold. "We must get the students out of the school then!" madam dofekima said shrilly. "No, they must NOT be alerted." The head master said shocking every one in hearing distance. "Well it is your decision to make however I suggest contacting your cousin, Dumbledore." Leni said. "Yes I will most certainly tomorrow, however in the mean time NO students must know what has happened." Christy said as she turned back into a cat and ran off leaving madam dofekima and professor leni alone. "Oh dear its happening isn't it? I have felt a void all summer." The nurse whispered. "Everyone has dofekima." Professor leni said before she walked away. I looked over at Charlie who was still not moving "what's happening?" I asked as he shook his head. "I don't know but it's not good." "We should leave." I said as I pulled the stick up in the air and we left for the boys' room never noticing the tall figure lurking near by. After I had gotten Charlie back without any trouble I made my way up to the forest canopy to enjoy the full sight of the moon. I wish you were here mom, I though as the stars winked at me. ~*~*~*~*~*~

The next couple of weeks sort of flew by with out any more problems. No one else knew about Amanda's fate. Classes went on as schedule and the teachers began to watch us closer then ever. Ticking mark, mystic, sky, and I off. We couldn't pull any pranks to take our minds off the school horrors with butler and every other teacher loading up on the home work to keep our minds preoccupied. "I'm sooo bored." Mark whined as we sat down in the library. "Aren't we all?" mystic said as she pulled out her text books and began working on a nasty astronomy paper due next period. "Let's explode something?" I offered as sky shook her head. "Can't we use all our dung bombs last week on Bruce?" "crap." I said as mark whined again. "Hey Constance professor leni wants to see us." Charlie said popping up in front of our table. I swallowed fearing the worst. "ok." I said as I picked up my stuff and walked out with him ignoring all the curious stares my friends were giving me. "So what does she want to see us about?" I asked as he smiled. "I need a tutor in dada." He said. I laughed making a few people stare at us. "I though she wanted to see us about." I dropped my voice." You know." "Yeah that's what I though when she asked me to stay after class." Quickly we walked to the professor's office where the normally cheerful teacher waited. When we opened the door she dropped the letter she had been reading and put on a fake smile to replace her stern expression. "Letter from home?" Charlie asked making her smile. "They always make me unhappy." He grumbled as she laughed. "No one of the sort although I'm surprised that letters from your orphanage should make you frown." "Well their not exactly friendly letters." He smirked. "Well down to business. Miss Constance I am sure you have been told of Mr. Charlie's plead for help?" "Yes ma'm." "then will you accept the charge of helping him?" "Yes ma'm." "Then you may go." She said as we stood up. "Well miss tutor when would you like to start?" he asked when we were out of the office. "Tomorrow?" I offered. It would be Saturday. "Sure I'll meet you 9' o clock in the library." He called as he headed over to the boys' room. "k." I said as I walked back to the library. On the way as I crossed over a bridge outside I looked up into the green canopy and saw a cloaked figure run from the tree branches. Then I fainted.
