The Gryffindor tower was cold, the fire in the fireplace had gone out and
the wind from the outside was bashing against the windows. Bare trees
swayed furiously in the breeze, scraping against the glass and screeching.
The Gryffindors filed in into a huddled mass in the center of the common
room. Some students took seats where they could be found at tables, couches
and such, some even on the carpet. Fred, Bella, Ron and Harry took up the
couch first. Rosalina, Megan, Abby, Madison and Amber all walked over to a
window in the corner. Abby gazed outside into the dark, cold, eerie night.
The navy blue night sky was shrouded in darkness, black clouds covered it.
The stars were stolen from the sky along with the moon, hidden from all
sight. Hermione stood up on a chair that she grabbed from a table closest
to her.
"Now listen, everyone head up to their dormitories now! Do not exit them until further notice." She ordered very sternly.
Most of the students listened with some exceptions.
"Fred, I'm scared, what if someone dies?" Bella looked up into his eyes and leaned against him. He placed his arms firmly around her small frame and held her.
"Don't worry, I'm here. I'll protect you Bell," he replied looking down at her. He kissed the top of her forehead and leaned back on the couch. She rested her head on his chest and shut her eyes.
Ron looked over at one of his older brothers and shut his eyes rapidly, turning away.
"I hate when they do that," Ron complained quietly whispering Harry who gave out a small laugh and watched as some first years made their way to their dormitories.
Kali was about to join the others on the couch when her head snapped to the door. Her eyes went large and round as her mouthed opened to a silent 'O'. She ran over to Hermione and whispered something into her ear, her eyes filled with worry. Hermione's face grew grave as her eyes filled with worry as well. Kali then jogged to the group by the window. Rosalina was the first to realize something was wrong.
"Kali, what's wrong?" She asked turning towards her.
Kali's face grew deathly grave as she opened her mouth and then shutting it. At this point, Megan and Abby were now facing her as well. Madison and Amber were still gazing outside, their eyes fixed in blank stares. Kali opened her mouth again and finally words began to form and flowed from her mouth without another thought.
"Filly . .I didn't see her when we found that writing, I didn't even see her enter here or head up to the dorm. I realized that in the Great Hall when McGonagall was naming those missing, Filly was one of them. She's still gone." She stuttered out of worry and fright.
Abby brought a hand to her mouth, her eyes wide like the rest. Megan inhaled deeply as she took all this in and Rosalina nearly fell backwards at the discovery. Megan leaned against the wall for support as she began to talk.
"Oh my god, why? I mean . . is she the heir of Gryffindor?" she questioned.
Kali shook her head, "I don't think so, she's been here for a long time, someone else would know. Dumbledore would know."
Megan nodded her head in agreement with Kali and crossed her arms across her chest. Kali bowed her head and waved them good night then headed up the stairs up to the girl's dormitory. The three turned around again to face the window. Rosalina waved a hand in front of Amber's face to get her attention.
"Snap out of it!" She yelled in Amber's ear making her jump, but tearing her away from what she was looking at.
"Yes Rosalina?" Amber asked.
"Nothing .. you just seemed a bit out there . . .like Madison is right now." She replied with a finger pointed to Madison who was still staring out the window. Abby waved a hand in front of Madison's face only to get Madison's hand wrapped around her wrist.
"Abby?" Madison turned her face to her.
Abby just smiled slightly and pulled her hand back as fast as she could and down to her side. She brought her now red wrist up to her stomach and started to rub the red spot with her other hand. She looked from the red mark to Madison.
"I'm sorry, with everything going on, I'm just a bit tense that's all." Madison sighed and turned back to the window.
"We all are Madi, we just can't let it get to us ok?" Megan asked placing a hand on Madison's shoulder.
"We shouldn't have come here . . .this is our fault, remember what happened at our last school? They are after one of us," Abby stated. This got the group's attention and she continued, " I mean. Look at what's happening here. This didn't happen until we came. Volde." She was interrupted by Megan putting a hand over her mouth.
"We can't blame this on one of us. How can one of us be Godric's heir? I mean wouldn't we know it?" Rosalina protested and stood straight up.
"Well, maybe one of us is the heir and we just don't know it . .or maybe one of us it isn't one of us persay, but one that came with us." Madison added with her head tilted to the side a bit.
"Yeah, you have to admit that she has a point, Silvia has been acting strange lately," Megan commented and Rosalina nodded. Amber looked around the room, at the gold trim, the maroon wallpaper, the matching couches and the gold curtains that led outside the windows. She then absentmindedly nodded and then heard a crash followed by a scream.
"Did you hear that?" Amber jumped up, her head jolting around the room.
The other girls looked at her strangely and then inquired what she was talking about, she gave up and said nothing, it was the wind. George came out of nowhere and snuck up behind Madison. He held a finger up to the others to not mention his presence.
"Hey you," Madison smiled as she reached behind her and grabbed his hands pulling him closer to her. He let out a sigh of defeat.
"How'd you know it was me?" he question as he placed his head on her shoulder.
"I saw you in the window," she laughed lightly as she felt his head tilt and give her neck a small kiss.
They heard a small knock on the portrait door from the outside that made Abby jump. Megan ran over and placed an ear against it to try and hear something. She heard a muffled voice and swung the door open to reveal Oliver. He rushed into the common room and straight over to Amber without a second thought. He placed his arms around her small waist and held her close to him as she shut her eyes.
"Are you alright?' he breathed as he gave her head a small kiss. He could feel a nod against his chest and let go of his hold on her. He took her hand in his and entwined their fingers together.
"I was so worried, I lost you when they moved you all out of the Great hall and us into Dumbledore's office. I had to check on you love," he exhaled as he held her again.
"I know, I was very worried. Do you know anything about Fllly?" Amber asked him.
He shook his head and said that he can't let out any information that he was given. She just nodded and kissed his lips then headed up to the dormitory for sleep. Followed by rest except for Madison and Rosalina. George kissed Madison's forehead and wished her peaceful dreams and headed up to sleep. Madison and Rosalina looked out the window one last time.
"Look, the moon's beginning to appear," Rosalina pointed to a break in the dark clouds to reveal a dark, gloomy moon with a dark crimson red ring surrounding it.
Madison's face grew serious as she said in a monotone voice, her face almost vacant of expression,
"A red moon rises, blood has been spilt this night."
