A/N- Melody is in 6th year with Ginny and Luna and, any other sixth years, Harry, Ron, ECT.. Are in 7th.

She looked at the filled page if her journal, it was her way of getting rid of all her worries and thoughts.
It was Dinnertime so she left the common room alone; feeling that, that is how she wanted to be.
She walked hearing the hushed whispers, and seeing the searching glances.
What were they saying about her? What were these absurd roomers about her? She did not know, and she had to find out!
She was walking towards the Gryffindor table, when that good-looking boy, with blonde hair, and stormy gray eyes; that would make any girl his slave, stood in front of her blocking her path.
She looked up at him with a hateful glare.
"Well, well, isn't it the new Gryffindor; Riddle, Is it true you got and ugly scar on your face to?" He said, smirking down at her.
"Yes." She said as if she were bored, she walked around him, and started towards the Gryffindor table, leaving him rather dumfounded, that was not the answer he had suspected.
She sat in a spot more isolated from the other students and started to nibble on some kidney pie.
When Ginny arrived, she sat beside Melody and looked beside her, for a moment they were silent.
"What is it that they are saying about me?" Melody asked.
"Mainly about your scar, they're making up theories on how you got it, sometimes mistaking them for being real. There is also some talk about your…. Erm, fathers letter this morning." Ginny said quietly.
"Well, at least they didn't recognize my fathers dear old voice or hell might break loose." She told Ginny sarcastically.
"Yeah…" Ginny muttered.
Melody looked around the hall and saw more muttering, whispering, muttering….
Every searching glance, whispers made Melody more frustrated, and angry. Who was doing this? Who started these?
"Ginny-"
"Yes?" Ginny asked.
"D' you know who started them?" Melody replied referring to the roomers as them.
"One of the Gossipmongers in our dorm, logically." Ginny told her, solemn faced. "Any ideas who?" Melody pressed. "Raile Naksig, I presume. She was the one who accused you of going out to see boys." Ginny said, casting a glance up at the brunette with large, bulgy, blue eyes.
Why did every one put their noses in other people's lives? Couldn't they just bugger off!
She looked at her still rather full plait, seeing how pointless it was to even try eating it she vanished it; leaving a shiny plait there instead.
She got up planning to go back to her dorm; She was exiting when she saw Harry and his friends in deep discussion. She had intended to walk right past them when she heard her name mentioned. She stopped where she was and listened.
"-Don't you think it's odd that a girl, supposedly Voldemort's daughter, turns up and saves Harry from a Vampire or somethin' and then we find out she also had a scar?" she heard Hermione ask.
"Yes, d' you think she can be trusted, didn't you se how much she resembled Harry. Her eyes are the exact same, and there noses are somewhat similar." She heard Ron say.
"Have you really been staring at her that much Ron?" Harry asked his friend Ron.
"Yeah, and its weird she would be sorted into Gryffindor, it was obviously not planned seeing the howler Voldemort sent her. She was pretty upset after it." Hermione said.
Melody had heard enough, she wanted everyone to stop talking about her, before she could stop her self she yelled, "STOP IT! Stop it!" She yelled in pure frustration.
Every thing went dark; there where several shrieks throughout the school, Melody had a feeling even the stars had gone out. She heard Hermione try "Lumous!" but was unsuccessful.
What had just happened?
Melody, knowing it was no use also tried to light her wand.
"Lumous." Melody said hopefully.
She was taken by surprise when everything lit up again. She squinted around at the sudden light; still rather confused.
"Wha- wha – What the bloody hell just happened, it was suddenly all dark." Ron asked.
"I dunno." Harry replied
Hermione looked around the corner and saw Melody against the wall looking around fearfully
"What did you do?" She demanded.
"I don't know!" Melody replied shrilly.
"Where you listening to us?" Hermione asked, Harry and Ron now joining her.
"I'm sorry, but when I'm walking up a corridor and hear people talking about me I have a right to listen don't I!" Melody said gaining back her composure. Hermione just stood there; lips parted and eyes narrowed into little slits, so that she reminded her of her father.
Melody walked past them, wanting so eagerly to be alone.

The next morning, Melody got her instructions and headed towards the north tower where she would be having her exam.
Professor Trelawany was dressed in a way that reminded her of a gipsy, with many scarves and belts. She had thick glasses, so thick that her eyes appeared three times there size. The room was stuffy and had a strong smell of the incense she was burning.
"Why welcome my dear, please take a seat." She told Melody indicating the table with a single chair in front of her.
Melody took the seat.
"I presume you reviewed last night." Professor Trelawany asked.
"Yes I did, I'm ready for your test" Melody replied.
"Very well" She then got a crystal ball and started to ask her questions.

Melody was relived to be out of the stuffy room, she found the test quiet easy and was now on her way to be tested in potions.
She had just gotten there as the last class was leaving; it was seventh years Gryffindor and Slytherin. Draco was first to exit and when he saw her his eyes widened slightly.
She knew why, she had not covered up her scar.
The rest of the class stood the gawking. She put on her arrogant face and entered, of course having to push her way through.
She entered looking around the empty class room she sat at one of the table thinking she could do a bit of extra studying before he decided to join her.
She reviewed a few things she was uncertain on the waited.
Ten minutes later her finally walked in, she knew who he was, He was Snape, Death Eater spy. She kept it secret when she found out. But not without letting him know she knew.
"What took you so long.." she asked slightly aggravated.
"Potter decided to duel with Malfoy." He said shaking his head. Not glaring at her like he would of if it was a different Gryffindor.
"Can I have my test then?" She asked.
Without speaking, he gave it to her.

By the end of the week she had finally ended all her exams and could start regular classes. She was still getting odd looks as she walked down the corridors but she grew accustom to it.
Her and Ginny had earned a good friendship. Ginny was still a little nervous around her but Melody had to admit the girl had guts.
She finally was feeling more normal as Ginny went on about a boy she fancied in Ravenclaw.
The way she described him he sounded like Greek God , Melody could not help but break into laughter.
"What!" Ginny exclaimed she to giggling.
"Goodness Ginny, you bloody worship the guy why don't you ask him out." Melody asked.
"Well Erm… Even if I had enough nerve, he's taken." Ginny replied.
Melody shook her head. That is when a idea hit her making her smile mischievously, making her resemblances to her father stand out.
"We'll just have to knock some sense into him, now won't we?" Melody said.
"How?" Ginny asked curiously.
"Well dose this school have dances."
"No really, we only had the Yule Ball."
"I see… Well Halloweens coming up maybe I could talk to Dumbledor"
Ginny was surprised. "Why?"
"Well you need an occasion to dress up"
Ginny seemed to catch on.
"OOOOH, that sounds like fun" Ginny exclaimed.
"Are you sure the right one to talk to Dumbledor?" Ginny asked
"Well… If you want I guess it would be okay if asked, I don't really know if in the right position to ask such things"
With that Ginny bounced out the portrait hole.
