CHAPTER THREE - "CONFESSIONS OF A CONFUSED MIND!"

The young girl sat up.

Through the hangings she could see 4 bodies huddling over something.

Seeing that it was something they were hiding from her, the blonde girl got out of bed and opened her curtains.

".one thing I want to know is how a GUY got up the stairs." Pansy said.

The girl 'accidentally' ran into Victoria's trunk.

The four girls turned around quickly.

"Here," Pansy said thrusting some parchment into the girl's open hand "This came for you sometime last night I think."

The girl looked up and stared into Pansy eyes as if she was drilling holes through them.

"Oh, and we didn't read your stupid little love letter." Pansy said sarcastically.

The girl could pick the sarcasm in Pansy's voice instantly.

"Well, okay. We only read the end, and the beginning and the middle." Pansy said slyly "Just in case it was for one of us."

The girl was wearing the evilest glare imaginable but on the inside she was laughing. She knew that the letter wasn't a love letter but actually in code. She just didn't yet know what the code was hiding.

"Well, WE are going to breakfast," Pansy said as she walked over to the door "And you can't join us because Draco is MINE!"

Then Pansy slammed the door. Well actually Millicent slammed the door because she was behind Ellen who was behind Pansy.

Even thought Pansy had left there was still another girl in the room.

"I am so sorry. I knew I should have moved my trunk!" Victoria exclaimed, "I hope you aren't hurt. I told Pansy she shouldn't open your letter but she swore it had to be a mistake."

The blonde girl just ignored her.

"Well I better go to breakfast so that Pansy doesn't think I am trying to comfort you, but if you want I can stay up here with you." Victoria said

The blonde girl, still ignoring her moved towards her bed so she could get changed and get something out of her trunk.

"I'll take that as a no then." Victoria said.

Victoria opened the door and hurried down the stairs to the Slytherin Common Room.

The blonde girl hurriedly got changed and sat down on her bed and read the letter.

The world 'alive' was in every sentence.

That young girl was the only one who knew the true meaning of the word alive. It means DEATH!

Death was coming, death had happened. It was all there.

There was only one thing she could do, well apart from cry.

She bent over her trunk, got out a huge bundle of parchment, put the new letter and the parchment in her inside pocket of her robes and dashed down the stairs and out of the common room. As if there was someone she didn't want to see today.

The girl ran and ran and ran until she found the office of the only person who could help her without questions.

She ran into the office and found Professor McGonagall talking to a Mr Harry Potter.

She turned around. No one would choose her over the amazing Harry Potter.

"Mr Potter, please excuse me for a moment." The Professor said "Perhaps we should finish this after breakfast?"

"Sure Professor." Harry said turning to leave.

He picked up his wand and walked towards the door. "I like the new colour. It suits you,."

He was going to say more, but Professor McGonagall interrupted him.

"Breakfast Potter!"

As Harry turned and walked off in the direction of breakfast, Professor McGonagall turned and hurried off in the direction of Dumbledore's office.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

When they arrived at Dumbledore's office, the young Slytherin had half a mind to keep walking and forget the whole thing.

"Harry Potter," Professor McGonagall murmured.

The girl turned around. She was confused.

Just then a set of stairs appeared.

Professor McGonagall turned and looked at the confused young girl.

"The Headmaster believed it would be less, well obvious for intruders or hooligans." Professor McGonagall said to the girl "Oh, and if the Headmaster isn't there, he will be soon."

Then Professor McGonagall turned and hurried off to her office.

The girl paused on the first stair.

Did she really have to do this?

Yes of course!

She hurried up the rest of the stairs by telling herself that this was for her own good.

When the girl walked into Dumbledore's office she was utterly confused. She had the strangest felling she walked into a museum, or a junk shop.

The first thing she saw was what could only be described as a Phoenix .

Well it would have been a Phoenix if it didn't looked like it was about to drop dead.

She walked over to pat it and it just burst into flame. Then it became of ash.

She was so afraid. She thought she had killed Dumbledore's bird. "Such a pity you had to see Fawkes on burning day. He is usually quite beautiful." Dumbledore said

Just as he said this a little bird poked it's head through the ashes.

"Now Miss Drailie, what is the pleasure of your company?" Dumbledore asked as he passed a goblet over to her.

She took the goblet, drained it, put it back on the desk and began speaking.

"I got a letter last night. My mother died. My father wrote in code so all the girls in my dorm must think I am a freak for caring that my mum is 'alive'. The worst thing about this is that my brothers will have to go to an orphanage because his wife, my step mum, hates children but I actually belive she is just a big Voldermort supporter and is going to try and kill my dad but, I, I, I can't do anything about it and I love my brothers too much to see them in some crazy family and, and, and."

"Slow down for a second," Dumbledore said

".and Malfoy thinks he is King of the world so therefore he gets whatever and whoever he wants which means me and I just wanna KILL him. Ha, I almost did didn't I? He is just so full of it!" Miss Drailie took a deep breath and started speaking again " He came to visit me a few days ago. In a dream though but he was still there. I was so afraid."

Dumbledore took this last sentence in and thought for a moment.

"Well then you know what we have to do, don't you?" Dumbledore asked.

"But that means.."

"Yes Shira, but it must be done."

"Well, I'll get them" Shira said "Perhaps you should read this letters as well. They are all safe for you to read. Some might actually make you laugh."

With that Shira Drailie walked out of the Headmasters office, in search for the few people who could help solve this, mystery.
