Chapter 13
12 September 1991
My life is ruined. Niko has gotten her revenge on me. Now Draco will dispise me for the rest of my life. She didn't exactly tell him I was muggleborn, but she pretty much said so. Here's what happened...
I was running down the hall looking for my sister to ask her to forgive me when someone grabbed my wrist. I spun around in surprise and stared at the person holding on to me.
"Niko?" I asked disbelievingly.
"Nissa," she said blankly, letting go of my wrist. "Looking for something?"
"You."
"Me?" she snorted. I could tell she was thinking about critisizing me, but kept it to herself for once. "Why do you want me?"
"Niko, I'm sorry for what I said......please, forgive me, for both of our sakes?" I looked at her pleadingly, and at first I thought I had succeeded, but then...
"I'll forgive you, but I'm still getting my revenge. Perhaps I should be asking your forgiveness? My revenge will come soon, Nissa. Just you wait." She turned back to go back to her common room.
"Niko! Wait!" I cried.
"No," she said flatly, without looking at me. "Spare me Nissa, I don't want to hear it."
"But Niko-"
The Draco's annoying drawl interrupted me. "What are you doing pleading with a mudblood, Nissa?"
I stared at him, completely thrown off guard. Then Niko spoke and I really wish she hadn't...
"Draco?" she asked, trying to be pleasant. "May I have a word?"
He stared at her as if she were insane.
"For my info, are you just stupid or blind?"
"What do you mean?" he demanded, but his face was getting paler than it already was with anger.
"Have you not noticed Nissa and I are mirror images of each other?" I watched totally shocked as the realization crossed his face. I knew Niko had gotten her revenge. She turned on her heel and left. And before Draco could say anything, I turned and ran in the opposite direction and didn't stop until I was far away from Niko.

I don't have much time right now. It's almost time for dinner and for Draco's plan of revenge to go into action. I plan on following him and his cronies to the Great Hall in the protection of the shadows so he doesn't noticed me...He's leaving, I must go now.

Here's what happened at dinner tonight.
When Draco entered the hall, I waited a few minutes before entering myself then went and took a seat atthe end of the Slytherin table. Since yesterday, it had become my spot to sit since no one would sit next to me. I watched as Draco approached Niko and her friends at the Gyrffindor table. He tapped her on the shoulder and when sheh turned to look at him, he smirked. I watched them as they had a brief conversation before the victim of the plot jumped up to lunge at Draco. Then Crabbe poured somehting onto Ron's plate of food. I looked at the teachers to see if they had noticed anything yet and it looked as though they were about to. I stood up and walked quickly over to where they stood. Since everyone was focused on the quarrel between Ron and Draco, I was able to inspect the potion on Ron's food. After recognizing it, I stood up quickly. Walking up to the two boys fighting, I pushed Ron away and stared at Draco.
"What do you want, you filthy mudblood?" he sneered.
I ignored his comment and turned to see where Ron went. He was now sitting down and Niko was trying to get him to calm down. When he was about to eat a piece of chicken, I said, "I wouldn't eat that if I were you."
He turned to look at me as if I were nuts. "Why not?" he spat.
"Because it's poinsoned," I replied simply. "Even ask Niko. She knows the potion that was just so conveniently poured onto your food just a few moments ago."
"Are you saying Niko's trying to poison me?"
I ignored him and watched as Niko tried to figure out what was on the food. "Well?" I asked. "Do you know what it is?"
She looked at me sharply. "Yes, I do. And now you're trying to frame me for-"
"Before you go accusing me of something, Niko, perhaps you should know what I'm trying to say."
"I know exactly what you're trying to say. You're saying-"
"No you don't!" I screamed. By now the whole hall was watching us, but I didn't care. I just needed Niko to understand this. "You understand nothing, Niko! Nothing! If you want the real culprit of who is trying to poison your friends, it's this slimeball right here!" I pointed to Malfoy who was looking at me angrily. Before I could do anything, he grabbed my wrist, cutting off my blood circulation.
"How did you know about this, Mudblood?" he demanded.
"I'm an observer, not a doer. I knew you wanted to hurt Niko, so I've been watching you both since school started to make sure nothing happened." I broke out of Malfoy's grip and turned to my sister. "Sorry if you don't believe me. But I was trying to help." And with that I ran out of the hall.
I ran back to my dorm and grabbed my cloak and diary. Now I sit here out by the lake I had just crossed a few short day ago. It's cold out here and I don't know what time it is, but I'm not ready to go back to the school yet. I don't know if I ever want to go back. Perhaps I shold jump in the lake and never come back up? No. I will not. I said I'd give it until Christmas for things to get better. And I will. I just really miss Niko...... I wish we could just forget this ever happened... Great, now I'm crying. I haven't done so in years, but lately I've been doing a lot of it. I thought my life was supposed to get better by coming here, but it has just gotten worse... I think I'll...
