Is it enough?
Harper went back to class. She had transfiguration. She gave McGonagall her note, and took a seat next to Ron.
"What was that?" Ron asked. He could see Harper was flushed. In her eyes a fired burned.
"My parents are missing," she said, but she didn't dare talk about the Death Eaters.
Harry looked at her. "No way!"
"Yes!" she snapped back.
"Is there a problem?" inquired McGonagall. Then she turned back to the class, instructing them to change a candle into a mouse.
"Ya think she really wants a bunch of mice running around?" asked Ron.
"Shut up!" hissed Hermione.
Finally the bell rang, excusing the students for lunch. The food appeared, and the students began to eat. Except Harper, she couldn't eat. Malfoy (Draco) passed, but retraced his steps.
"What's the matter, Skys? Can't you eat?" Malfoy sneered.
"Shove it, Malfoy," she returned.
"You bloody mudblood lover, someday you'll be sorry!" he taunted.
Harper was out of her seat in a flash. The next moment she had him pinned to the floor. A teacher was also up, and split the two apart.
"He started it!"
"She started it!" They both shouted.
"I don't care who started it." Both students escaped detention, and returned to their seats. Lunch carried on without further interruption.
Well, except for the owls. In they swooped. The owls dropped packages on people's plates, heads, and laps. Freddie, Harper's owl, didn't come in. Instead, a gray owl gave her a thin roll. Quickly she tore it open. The letter was written in a scratchy scarlet letters. It said:
Harper Skys---are you ready? But really, is it enough to be ready?
Forgive me---I expect to see you tomorrow. Until then…
"What's that about?" questioned Harry, reading over her shoulder.
"I don't know," she lied. She knew it had to be from Voldemort, and that it was about the initiation ceremony.

Snape was happily giving the Gryffindors F's. A sudden Pop! startled him from his duties. He looked up, and saw Lucius Malfoy grinning down at him.
"Lucius, what?" he asked.
"Nothing, Severus," he smirked. "I wanna go have some fun, just you and me."
"I can't."
"Come on, put down those papers. Let's go torture some muggles. In celebration."
"Celebration of what?"
"Celebration of Draco and Harper joining, of course!"
Snape sighed; it did some tempting. And what else could he do? He also had Death Eater duties. "Let me get my cloak."
First they went to a muggle's house in London. There was a couple sleeping in bed, quietly snoring. Lucius set about shutting the door, and windows. Then he set Wingardium Leviosa on the man, and Snape followed the suit on the woman.
Both people woke up and began to scream. Lucius put a silencing charm on both of them. Then he flung the man around the room. Snape began to toss the woman up and down, like a yo-yo. Lucius slammed the man against the far wall. The man's head hit the wall with a sickening crack, before he slumped to the floor-dead. The woman's mouth opened in horror, but no sound escaped. Snape shut his eyes and cast the killing curse upon her.
He opened his eyes, and looked at Lucius as if to say "is that enough?"
"Well, that was fun," said Lucius. Then his features turned cold, and he was the disguinshed Malfoy again. "I will see you tomorrow night," and with that he left.
When Snape returned to his room Dumbledore was waiting.
"Where were you?" he asked.
"Out. Out with Lucius."
Dumbledore nodded. He never asked anything further when Snape said he'd been out with Lucius. He could guess well enough. "Okay. I've managed to keep the M.M.Ps out of you sister's disapperence."
"Thank you. If I didn't know better, I'd say it was that woodelf of a husband that's the problem," it was his attempt at a joke.
A/N: I thought I'd clear it up that Harper's dad is a woodelf, like in the Lord of the Rings, and not a house elf. Sorry that that was short, but I have a slight writer's block, and I really want to get to a good part. This story is not so structured as my last one.
