CHAPTER 2: Little things
Ron reached for his throat trying to pull it off, but the grip was strong. Finally snapped of and Ron turned around, holding his neck.
"What the heck?" Ron said as he looked at the person. It was a brunette with bulging light brown eyes and looked at the necklace in horror. Then Ron noticed who she was. "You-you were in my dream."
"The chains broken!" The girl screamed and started searching her long jacket for something. Finally, she took out a wand that was in a hidden pocket, murmured something and the chain was fixed. She smiled.
"It must be yours then.I better- go." Ron said nervously and started to back away slowly.
"Where did you find this?" She demanded loudly.
"I-I found it here. it was just lying in the grass by the lake-"
"By the lake? Here?" The girl repeated. Ron nodded. She looked at the necklace.
"How foolish of me.a monster I've become.the necklace.the necklace." She looked up at a scared Ron, who was still backing away slowly. "Do you like your life?"
"Do I like my life?" Ron repeated. "Wha-what do you mean?"
"Are you poor? Had a broken heart? Loner.not good looking."
"I'm not good looking?!" Ron blurted angrily.
In a whisper, she said, "Do you ever wonder what its like to have your deepest desires come true?" She rubbed the necklace softly. "You could have it all- all you have to do is agree to own the necklace- you don't even have to wear it all the time."
"Will it all be real?" Ron asked curiously.
The girl smiled slowly. "Of course." She held out the necklace.
Ron took it, and looked at it.
"If you want to get rid of it and undo everything, all you have to do is either give it to someone or give it to the original owner to break it." The girl told him. "All you have to do now is agree that it's yours."
Ron wanted it. He wanted to have the feeling of having everything he ever dreamed of. And it was easy to get rid of it. Just to try it. Just to see.
"It's- it's mine." Ron said.
"Great well it's definitely yours. I must warn you that it may give you more than you want. Everything else will be fine, I suspect slow changes will start tomorrow." The girl walked away. "Good luck."

"Ron- I don't think that was a good idea." Hermione said. Ron had just told Hermione and Harry what had happened. They were sitting in the corner in the Gryffindor common room. "I mean- that wasn't a very safe thing to do."
"You say Po-tay-to. I say Po-taa-to." Ron put the necklace on. "Come on, won't it be good to experiment with. Just to see. I CAN get rid of it."
Hermione and Harry were looking at it uneasy.
"Ron- what do you most want in the world?" Harry asked.
"That is so private!" Ron said hotly.
"Well now it's not going to be because it's going to happen!" Hermione said frantically.
"I promise, that if it gets out of hand, I'll get rid of it, ok?" Ron comforted. "OK?"
Harry nodded. Hermione signed and nodded too.
"Just- let me do some research on it." Hermione said. "Not many magical necklaces are safe."
"Sure, sure!" Ron said happily. "Good days to come!"
***
"Anything good happen yet?" Harry asked Ron as they made their way to the Great Hall.
"Yeah, a bit! Look!" Ron pointed down to his feet.
"Your- feet- aren't the same?" Harry guessed awkwardly.
"No, no! My robes, they fit perfectly!"
Harry frowned. "If this is what the necklace does, then maybe its not as good as the lady said it was."
"No, first small changes.then big changes." Ron said touching the necklace in his pocket. He was to scared to leave it all alone up in the dormitory. "Maybe something in Potions will happen. like Snape boils his face!" They walked into the Great Hall.
"Hey Seamus!" They said as they sat down by Hermione and Seamus.
"I didn't see you last night or this morning. Where's Dean?" Harry said.
"They've been in the Hospital Wing!" Hermione said, looking at Ron. Harry did the same.
"What? I never wanted anyone in the Hospital Wing. 'Cept maybe Malfoy. Or Snape. But never Seamus and Dean."
"Well it wasn't your fault." Seamus said, sadly. "Yesterday during Herbology Dean went off to the lake and- and-" Seamus leaned closer to them, and said quietly "A monster grabbed him!"
"Oh my gosh." Hermione said.
"Wow." Ron said.
"I helped him out but all he got was a broken leg. He should be out by lunch. I suffered some scratches." Seamus told them. He raised his sleeve to show a dozen of scratches. "I hope the teachers do something- quick. God knows who else will be taken."
"Maybe *someone* should do some research." Hermione suggested. She got up from the table.
"Hermione!" Harry stood up. "Why don't you let the teachers handle this monster thing this time- we've been through enough adventures."
"It's not the monster thing I want to research." Hermione snapped. "Its that necklace." Then Hermione turned on her heel and walked off.
"Necklace?" Seamus said, puzzled.
"Urrrggghhh!" Ron said and stood up. "She's going to find something bad about the necklace!" He started walking. He really wanted to keep the necklace.
"Well she shouldn't though, should she?" Harry said, following Ron.
"Hermione! Hermione!" Ron yelled. He caught up to her. "Look- if you're going to research it, research it at a reasonable time."
"Zis is an outrage!" Ron, Harry and Hermione looked over at the staff room. Someone else wasn't having a good day either. They crept up to the door and looked through the crack.
There was a flamboyant woman with strings of blonde hair waving her hands frantically. She was talking to Dumbledore, and Snape and McGonnagall were there to, looking extremely bored.
"What is wrong wiz zis school? You 'ave secret chambers and Sirius Black sneak in 'ere and Tournaments zat kill people and-"
"Now.now Mrs. Tre-"
"Do not now now me!" The woman said, hotly. She talked fast, much like Teri and had a strong French accent. "Dumbly-dorr- I remember I sent you zis parchment zat said I wanted my children to be safe and protected but now my dauter is almost being swallowed by- water beasts!"
"So you're the one who sent that letter," Prof. McGonagall said tiredly.
"I just want zem alive, I will not be ze only parent complaining. I 'eard two uzzer boys were- injured?"
"I assure you, Mrs. Tresher, that our staff is on it." Dumbledore said firmly. Then he smiled. "If it's not the staff that figures it out, someone else will." Dumbledore's eyes twinkled as Ron and Harry exchanged glances.
Mrs. Tresher nodded. "Be sure to watch ze two girls, Professor." Mrs. Tresher looked over at McGonagall. "Zey are- not using zair brains."
"Oh my gosh!" Hermione said. "We'd better get to class!"
They walked to Potions quickly.
"Hey, Harry was that Mrs. Tresher- Teri and Keri's mum?" Ron asked. Keri was a fifth year and was a chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. "She's- nothing like them."
Harry nodded in agreement and they made it to potions on time. Snape wasn't even there.
"I think the monster's after Gryffindors!" Draco Malfoy said loudly, for everyone to hear. "God knows we need less of them at this school."
"No it isn't- it's only captured one person- a HUFFLEPUFF." Parvati Patil said indignantly.
"Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, fine by me." Malfoy said. "I think the monster goes after the *weak*." Malfoy looked over at Neville Longbottom. " Longbottom better watch out- Not that anyone will miss him."
Neville started reading a book, as if he hadn't heard Malfoy.
Then Snape came in and ordered them to take out there potions and begin reading. Malfoy still spoke to Crabbe and Goyle.
"I wonder what the monster is- I bet it doesn't go after Slytherins." Malfoy said. Ron rolled his eyes. "For all we know it can be another one of Salazar Slytherin's brilliant school pra-"
"Malfoy!" Snape yelled that everyone jumped. Malfoy looked shocked. Then he sighed and smiled.
"What is it Professor- do you need help with something?" Malfoy asked pleasantly blinking continually.
"No-I don't like you talking while we are suppose to be reading. 10 points from Slytherin."
In all Ron's life, he has never heard those words coming from Severus Snape. Everyone's jaw hung. Even Malfoy, who looked slightly paler then usual.
"You must be kidding!" Ron yelled, in disbelief.
Snape shot him an evil look. "No, I'm not, 5 points from Gryffindor."
No one cared. Ron most certainly didn't. 5 points from Gryffindor was nothing compared to 10 points from Slytherin addressed by Severus Snape.
SEVERUS SNAPE.
SEVERUS SNAPE'S own house, he took points away from.
Everyone was curious what Malfoy must have done to make Snape turn against him, but Ron knew. Snape wasn't angry with Malfoy at all.
He looked over at Hermione and Harry who were both wearing suspicious faces. Ron smiled as he took out the necklace.
"How about that?" Ron said happily and very satisfied. Harry and Hermione exchanged tentative glances.

I own Teri, and Keri and there mom, of course. Their Moms accent is based on the 4th book of Harry Potter (Goblet of fire), Fleur Delacour's and Madame Maxime's written accents, so her accent may not be accurate!
