watch her every move. LOL I'm just kidding. But anyway, I do not own Harry
Potter. Although I do own the characters Faida and Tobias in this story. So

Faida sighed as she walked along the lakeshore. She found that coming here comforted her. She didn't know why, but the still waters seemed to make her hope that her life would one day be as serene as these tides. She had had another day from hell. It had been two weeks since school started, and nothing had changed. People still gawked at her. Faida couldn't walk down the hall without hearing her name in the whispers. She was miserable. She was depressed. And most of all, she was lonely. It was odd. When she had lived on the run she had never been this unhappy. It was probably because on the run she had no chance to make friends, so she didn't even try. But now, there were people all around her, and all they did was hate her. Why did they hate her? Why did they fear her? She had tried several times to make Professor Dumbledore tell her what she was. She had to know what was wrong with her. She had to know why. But every time he would just change the subject to the weather or some kind of sweet. She was so alone. She didn't even get to see Tobias much now, with him having classes to teach. Even when she did see him he didn't offer much comfort. He was they same old distant Tobias.
Then there was Draco Malfoy. Malfoy was the only one who would talk to her. Although he didn't see her very often, she had grown to love their conversations. Even though they were mostly about him. He was arrogant, this was true, but he had this mysterious charm that she couldn't help but be attracted too. Here lately she had even found herself blushing when she thought about him. And she had had several very GOOD dreams about him. She smiled at the exotic memories. Yes, he had his faults, but she had grown to really like him.
Faida stopped to stare into the waters. Her reflection looked back at her. But. it was different. She looked closer, squinting to see better. Her eyes. what was wrong with her eyes? They were different. she reached up to touch them; they felt the same as they always did. Then Faida stopped cold with her arm still in the air. In her reflection her arm wasn't raised. And, her reflection was grinning evilly. No, this wasn't her, it was someone else. Someone else was in the water. Faida knelt down until her face was only inches away form the surface. The reflection's eyes were an overpowering green. It seemed that Faida had seen her before.
"Who are you?" Faida barely whispered. She hadn't even realized she had said it until an unknown force pushed her into the water.
Faida was in darkness. The water was breathtakingly cold. The water shouldn't be this cold, it was still early autumn. She opened her eyes to swim to the top. But all she could see was darkness. She looked up. Far up in the distance she could see a dim light. It was as if the surface was hundred feet up! NO. That wasn't possible! She couldn't have sunk that low. Faida could feel the oxygen in her lungs start to use up. She had to get to the surface! She swam strait up. Up and up. Her lungs felt like they would burst! She couldn't breathe!
Faida suddenly was lightheaded. No, not now. She couldn't pass out! She had to swim! But the surface never got closer. Her chest began to throb as her lungs started to implode. She couldn't control it anymore. The girl breathed in a mouthful of icy water. A gasp escaped her lips as her lungs flooded. She gave into the bitter cold, letting it consume her. She was drowning. But she didn't mind now. Her pain was gone and she was just floating. Floating in this unfeeling cold. She wanted to stay there.
Suddenly she found herself awake. Was she dead? No, she was still underwater. She opened her eyes and screamed at what she saw. The water was red. She was swimming in a sea of blood. She started to panic again. BLOOD! Oh god. just let me die. What was happening? She tried to swim again but there was something wrapped around her ankle. She looked down and saw a withered pale hand encircling her foot. Green eyes looked back at her. But they were no longer the bright, enticing green. They were dull and lifeless. The eyes of a corpse. The woman.
A cold hand was placed on Faida's shoulder as the corpse mysteriously floated up beside Faida. They were now face to face. The girl could only stare in shock, as the corpse grew closer. Her mind screamed for her to move, to run. But she couldn't. All she could do was stare into those lifeless eyes.
Then the eyes were no longer lifeless. They glowed with power. Faida could sense the rage and bloodthirstiness bellowing up in those eyes. Then the corpse moved, as the half decayed lips formed words.
"My child. Are you afraid? You should be. You will soon know what you are and you will finish what I have started. No more will they resent us. One day, I will come to you and we will fulfill our destiny. together."
The woman moved closer to Faida. Faida's body began to shiver as the corpse's icy skin touched her own. But she was frozen, she couldn't move at all. The body pulled Faida into an embrace. Faida thought she was going to be sick. She wanted to scream, but she couldn't even open her mouth. Then the woman grabbed Faida's chin roughly and jerked it up to reach her own. Faida's body twitched as the dead woman's lips met her own. She thought she would die from the cold. Her whole body seemed to burn from the intensity of it.
The woman pulled away and floated back, away from Faida. Faida watched as the body was carried away with the bloody tides. A blinding light filled Faida's vision and she suddenly found herself on dry land.
She looked around, confused. She was lying on the ground beside the shore, and her cloths weren't even wet. How.? What had happened? She looked at the water. It was her normal reflection, nothing more. Had that just been a dream? It must have been.
Yes, I just fell asleep on the shore. It was just a dream. A disturbing one, but a dream nonetheless, Faida thought. She need not worry about it. Faida had disturbing dreams all the time. She turned and walked back to the castle, already forgetting about the woman as she turned her thoughts back to her troubles of life.
