Prologue: Voices…not my own…….They won't leave my head……
"Lav, are you coming or not?" Parvati demanded.
Lavender Brown carefully added the finishing touch to her astrological chart. The 4th years in divination had been assigned these charts, even though, with only three days left of school, they had already taken their exams. Professor Trelawney had wanted to make sure that they were prepared for whatever was coming in the summer. And Lavender had wanted to please her favorite teacher.
"Lavender!" Parvati shouted impatiently. This earned her a stern look from Madame Pince, so she lowered her voice when she continued, "Please Lav! I'm hungry!"
Lavender stood, pushed in her chair, and gathered her books.

Lavender paused and blinked. Where had that come from? Those thoughts certainly weren't her own. She must have imagined it.
"Parv, what's the real reason you want to get to lunch?" Parvati usually wasn't this short-tempered, she wasn't exactly the most patient person in the world, but she normally didn't snap at people.
Parvati blushed, proving that her insistence had underlying meanings. "Nothing! I'm hungry, so come on."
As the girls exited the library and made their way down to the Great Hall, Lavender's mind raced as she racked her brain for any memory of a reason why Parvati would be in such a hurry. Suddenly, it hit her.
"Parv!" she shouted, "You want to get one last look at those guys from Beauxbuttons, don't you?"
Parvati's blush returned. "Well, they were hott, weren't they?"
Lavender smiled. "Sure they were."
Parvati suddenly smirked. "Speaking of which, are you going to miss Seamus this summer?"
Lavender and Seamus had only recently begun going out, and Parvati already loved teasing her about it. She suspected that the teasing was fueled by a bit of jealousy, but she would never admit her suspicions to Parvati- they were best friends, she couldn't risk hurting her feelings.
Lavender finally answered, "Of course. I'm assuming you're going to miss your three Beauxbutton guys?"
She reached out and opened the doors of the Great Hall-
/hungry/finals/Cedric Diggory/a diet/asked out/
There they were again! Those thoughts! She wasn't on a diet, and she wasn't hungry, so there absolutely no way they could be her own. She glanced at Parvati as they entered the Great Hall, but the other girl didn't seem to notice anything strange.
"Seamus," Lavender greeted the boy as she sat down next to him, "how are you?"
Seamus smiled. "Fine, how about you?"
Lavender opened her mouth to answer as she reached across the table to grab a sandwich from the platter-
/calories/home/mum/House Cup/Dumbledore/
She dropped the sandwich stood up. There they were! Those voices again!
Lavender could feel her throat stiffening as she choked out, "No! Leave me alone!"
Everyone sitting around her turned and stared. Great, just what she needed. Voices in her head and an audience.
Parvati, who had been scoping out the Beauxbuttons boys appeared at her side with a glass of water. "Here Lav, drink this and calm down."
Lavender took the glass-
/Lav/spazzing out/
-and dropped it. As it fell to the ground with a sickening crack, Lavender screamed, "No! No, no, no! Get out of my head! Stop it!"
The entire school and faculty of Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry, as well as various members of Beauxbuttons and Durmstrang watched as Lavender jumped away from the cracked glass and grabbed a hold of the edge of the table for balance.
/my brother/food/train/daft/your brother/
That did it. Lavender let go of the table immediately and sprang away from it. Dean stood up, as did Dumbledore. People at other tables did as well, trying to get a good view of the scene taking place.
Lavender trembled as she shouted, "Leave me alone! Please! Beg you! My brother is dead! I'll never see him again! Just get away!"
That was when everyone knew, when everyone realized, that Lavender Brown had gone mad.
Well? How was it? This was just the prologue, so the chapters will obviously be longer. But there might not be any chapters if I don't get any reviews…..hint hint.
