A/N: I am to lazy to think of new teacher names so pretend they are the
current (Harry James Potter era) parents. No one knows Hooch's first name
so it is Rolanda, ok.
I woke to a tear soaked pillow and a smiling blonde haired girl.
" Hello, Poppy." I said.
Poppy Pomfrey is my roommate, well one at least five girls, counting me, have shared the room for 3 years, we even take our classes together, we're kind of close, but not Best Friends close.
" Hey, were you crying last night?" She asked.
" No." I lied.
" Oh, come on! I have known you for 3 years and I heard you last night so do not lie. And let's go get some breakfast." Poppy said
"Ok" I said. I got out of bed, got into my Hogwarts robes, and put my hair into a ponytail.
We walked down into the common room where our other roommates-Rolanda Hooch, Naomi Williams and Keiko Igarashi.
" Ready to go to Breakfast?" Keiko asked.
I nodded.
" I think we start Divination today." Rolanda remarked.
" The teacher, Professor Trelawney, couldn't predict her way out of a open basket!" Naomi said. Everyone laughed, then we went to down to the Great hall where we ate breakfast. Toward the end, Professor Dumbledore passed out our schedules.
" Darn it! We still have double potions with the Syltherins." Hagrid said.
" We do?" I asked, looking at my schedule. Great! Just what I needed Olive Hornby tormenting me.
The bell beginning class rang and we walked out onto the grounds for Herbology.
" Hi Sprout." I said. Sprout is my age and is in Hufflepuff house but I can't remember her first name.
" Hi Myrtle."
The teacher began talking about which ingredients worked in which potions. A bunch of potted Mandrakes was on a far table. I was barely listening. I looked across the lawn there was a care of Magical Creatures lesson going on. I think it was the 4th years, yes definitely because I saw Harry and Rachael. I looked at the teacher as she asked about what Mandrakes were used for. I raised my hand.
" Yes Ms. Peters."
" The mandrake is used to return people who have been transfigured to their original state." I said.
" Very good, 10 points to Gyriffindor."
Soon the class was over and we went to Transfiguration. I saw Minerva talking to Professor Dumbledore.
" Hey. I hear you're after Dumbledore's job." I said jokingly.
Minerva laughed. "Maybe." She said, walking away.
I laughed too.
" Isn't that true Hagrid?" I asked.
" What?" He asked back.
" Minerva is looking to steal Professor Dumbledore's job." I said.
Hagrid laughed.
" Hey Mudblood, Shut up your pet Giant!" Olive Hornby said on her way to class.
Minerva heard this and took 10 points off Sylitherin. I smiled.
After Transfiguration was, lunch and I chatted with my friends. I went to the rest of my classes. The last class was Divination. My roommates and I went to that class.
" Welcome to Divination, were we will study the fine art of predicting the future." The teacher Professor Trelawney said.
" My sister took this class a couple of years ago and she said it was a bore!" Naomi whispered.
" So why are WE taking it?" I whispered back.
" Because Keiko is taking it and she said it would be utterly boring to take alone so she made us." Naomi whispered back.
I groaned.
" Split in to groups of two, come, and collect a teacup, I will fill it. Then sit down and drink until only the dregs remain. Swirl these around three times with the left hand, and then drain the remaining tea into your saucer. When the last of the tea has drained, give it to your partner to read, use pages 5 and 6 of 'Unfogging the Future' I will come around and assist if you need help." The teacher continued.
I grabbed Naomi's hand and we each grabbed a blue teacup. We followed the instructions and the tea tasted awful. We switched cups and I looked into her's.
" It looks like a, " I paused "Club" I said. Looking at the book "That means, an attack?" I wondered.
"I think you should have your inner eye tested." Naomi joked.
" Maybe." I said, I put my hands in my pockets (A/N: do their uniforms have pockets?) and felt a note.
Mudbloods, The chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the Heir of Salazar Sytherin, BEWARE!!!!
I showed the letter to Naomi.
" It could mean this."
" What?" She asked.
" You're a Muggle born right?" I asked.
" Yes."
" Psst, Keiko." I showed the letter to her.
She scooted her chair over to us.
" What could this mean?" She asked.
" Well from what I remember from History of Magic. Salazar hated Muggle born Wizards and Witches and believed they were unworthy of being in Hogwarts." Naomi said.
" You stay AWAKE in History of Magic." Keiko asked.
" Barley." Naomi said laughing.
" Guys will talk about it later." I said looking at the teacher.
" All right, tonight in our dorm." Keiko replied.
Naomi looked into my cup.
" Oh a puppy dog. Your birthday's coming isn't it?"
" Yes, in a month." I answered.
" I think Harry or someone is going to give you a pet."
I laughed.
" You need a boyfriend!" I responded.
She looked through the book.
" Oh, wait. Not a dog, A Grim." She whispered.
" What the heck is a Grim" I asked
"A Grim my dear is an omen of death." The teacher said. She snuck up behind us and it made me jump.
The bell rang freeing me from the professor's creepy presence.
" Myrtle dear, you dropped this." Professor Trelawney said. She handed me a note, but not before reading it.
" Did you write this." She asked.
" No I didn't, I'm Muggle Born." I said.
" Do you know who did?" She asked.
" No Professor." I said. "Can I please go."? I asked.
" Still shook up about the Death Omen?" She asked.
" NO!" I said leaving.
Who ever heard of a DOG as a death omen? I thought as I walked down into the Great Hall.
" Hey Harry." I said.
" Hey Myrtle." He said.
" What's wrong?" I asked.
" Rolanda told us about the Grim." Minerva said.
I glared at Rolanda.
" Oh Please, It's a DOG!" I said.
" My Grandfather saw one and a month later, he died." Harry said.
" Yeah, of a Heart Attack." Lizzie interjected.
" She also told us about the letter." Rachael said.
" Rolo!" I said calling her that nickname she hates.
We ate the rest of dinner in silence, I was too mad at Rolanda.
Later that night my roommates and I had a meeting.
" I think it's Olive." Rolanda said setting a bowl of popcorn down in the middle of the circle we formed.
" Why?" I asked.
" Well it's obvious she hates Muggle Borns." Rolanda said.
" I think its Tom Riddle." I said.
" Why's that?" Poppy asked.
" He REALLY hates Muggle Borns." I answered.
We talked and ate popcorn until it was midnight and we went to bed. That night I had the strangest dream. I was in the second floor girl's bathroom, when I saw a pair of yellow eyes by a sink, then everything went black.
A/N: Oh, wow, foreshadowing, but of course, you already know she is going to die. Next chapter, Myrtle's 13th birthday, and a trip to Hogsmeade, also the picture from the prolog will play a part. It has been a bit shaky and fast in the beginning but I was supposed to turn this in to my English teacher before Winter Break. I turned in the first four chapters along with a summary of the next four chapters. Oh, My staff (Naomi, Rachel, Keiko and Nathan) and I have been trying to decide whether or not to continue the story after Myrtle dies. So what do you think? After Myrtle dies, should the story continue with the Point of Views of Myrtle's friends.
I woke to a tear soaked pillow and a smiling blonde haired girl.
