Using the password to once again get into Professor Dumbledore's office,
they walked up the steps to see Dumbledore was not there.
"Where could he be?" said Kim.
"I don't know. You would think he would wait for us," said Caitlin.
They walked around the office looking at everything trying to
find where he might be. Kim was looking at the books thinking how she'd
like to get her hands on some of this reading. She was quite a reader
and could finish one or two books a day. She pulled out one that was gold
and silver and the bookcase opened.
"Whoa," said Kim. Stepping back to examine the passageway.
"I thought these things were only in fairy tales," said Caitlin.
"Caitlin, we go to a school for witches in a CASTLE, can we get more fairy
tale like?"
"Very true Kim. I forget sometimes."
They decided to take the passageway wherever it could lead them. It went
to a room with a bunch of books. The books had years on them and they were
hard back with colors red, blue, green, and yellow.
"Yearbooks," said Caitlin.
"Wow have they ever had yearbooks before?" said Kim.
"No they stopped many years ago," said a voice from the door. The two
girls turned quickly to see".
"Hermione. What are you doing here?" said Caitlin.
"Following you," she said.
Hermione told them what she knew about why they didn't use yearbooks
anymore. About how there once was a student who tried to trap all his
enemies inside yearbooks, trapping their soul inside the pages.
"As soon as he trapped them, they were there, forever. Once Dumbledore
found out, it was too late. Twelve students captured inside the pages,
they say a camera takes a picture of not just your body but also your soul,
so he used it to his advantage. The year was 1972; people say it was
Lucius and Serveus. But there was no evidence to prove Lucius and Serveus
did it, but there was not evidence to prove anyone for that matter."
"Snape and Malfoy?" said Kim in shock, she even expected more from Snape.
"How do you know all of this Hermione?" said Caitlin.
"I believe it was a unknown source," said Dumbledore walking into the
passageway. "I guess everyone wants to help you Ms. Caitlin. Hermione came
to me with information out of a book she read, I just filled her in on the
rest of the story."
"Dumbledore told me but that's classified," she looked at the two girls
hinting them not to tell anyone. "But we can just say an unknown source
told us," said Hermione with a secretive look on her face.
"It does not matter anyway, the case has been closed," said Dumbledore.
"Come girls, out of there," he said leading them out of the passageway.
Caitlin then remembered.
"Oh here you go Professor," she said giving him the sack that contained the
ingredients for the potion. He took it gladly.
"So happy you didn't run into any trouble," said Dumbledore.
"Not as happy as we are," said Kim.
"Shall we apply this now or wait till tomorrow."
"NOW!" the three said in unison, they couldn't wait to have the old Dana
back.
"How about I apply it and you can see her in the morning after you three
rest. You don't have to go to any classes tomorrow, just sleep then come
down to the hospital wing. It will take that long for the potion to take
effect anyhow," said Dumbledore.
"Oh okay," said Caitlin a little disappointed but at least Dana would be
okay whether it is tonight, tomorrow, or a week as long as she would be
okay. The three slowly went back to their dorm and fell asleep as soon as
they hit their beds. All of them are very tired, it being now 2 or 3 in
the morning.
Kim woke up first, she laid there in her bed, thinking. Ever since she got
to this school everything had been crazy. At her old school it was so
boring; her, Caitlin, and Dana had to play tricks to spice things up. She
had one other boyfriend who still liked her but had not owled her since the
summer, so she decided to move on from the very first day at Hogwarts.
Ever since she got there she made new friends, met a guy, went to a costume
party, got screamed at by Dana, and then loosing her. This was madness
here but she had to admit the party and the guy were fine by her.
Realizing what she did last night she woke up Hermione first.
Jumping on Hermione's bed, "WAKE UP GIRLIES!!! DANA IS WAITING!!" she said
from jumping on Caitlin's bed to jumping on Hermione's.
"Huh?" said Hermione half asleep. "Kim two more minutes dude."
"What time is it?" said Caitlin who looked liked the living dead.
"Eight o'clock my dears, now UP!! And, Caitlin, by the way you look
amazing in the morning I only wish Harry could see you."
"I hate you," said Caitlin putting on her clothes, as was Hermione. Once
they washed their faces, they got the same hyperness Kim possessed. They
ran out of the Gryffindor tower and down to the hospital wing, where they
met up with Madame Pomfrey. Almost crashing into her actually.
"Whoa girls wait here while the professor works on Dana." The three waited,
anxious and excited to see Dana until they heard......
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Dana was lying on her bed screaming her
head off. It was not her voice though, the voice was low and gaspy. "YOU
CAN'T GET RID OF ME!!!!!!!!" The girls could only see the silhouette of the
bed curtain, but she was tied to the bed and was flailing and screaming.
"Oh my god," said Caitlin almost fainting but she caught herself. Dana
would be okay. Then she saw a ghost like figure fly out of Dana's body and
leave the hospital room. Disappearing into the castle.
"Professors, this way please. Madame Pomfrey, watch Dana but the process
is complete. McGonagal, take the North Wing, Snape take the South, and the
rest of the professors and I shall take the East and the West. HURRY!"
"What? WHO? DANA!" said Caitlin rushing over to her bedside.
She lay there her eyes clear lavender, she smiled, "Bubbles."
"Snowflake, thank you lord!" said Caitlin looking up to the ceiling as if
she was really talking to god.
"TINKERBELL!" screamed Kim with tears of joy streaming down her face.
"DANA that god you are all right!" said Hermione hugging her.
The four of them just sat there and cried they were so overwhelmed with joy
it was the only way to express it at that moment. Madame Pomfrey watched
from the threshold of the door and almost cried herself. It was a touching
moment.
(A/N: Sorry if you thinks it's corny, but if you've ever come close to
losing (or lost) someone, you know what it feels like. If you haven't,
your lucky and you can just imagine).
