Chapter 5: More secrets revealed
Christmas break was fast approaching and that meant piles of homework.
Adrienne had gotten to know Harry, Ron, and Hermione a lot better and soon
became friends with them. Adrienne hadn't spoken to Draco since that night
out by the lake and thought that maybe she was better off.
"Adrienne, aren't you excited to be going home for holiday?" Ginny asked her breaking her train of thought. "Yea, of course I am. It's just, I don't know, I guess I've been really tired lately, probably from all that homework." "Yea, I know, Snape just wont give us a break." Ginny then whispered some obscene comments about Snape. "What was that Weasly?" came a cold voice from behind them. They both turned around and saw Draco and Pansy behind them. "None of your business Malfoy," Ginny shot back. "tsk tsk tsk, is that any way to speak to the head boy? Hmmm, 50 points from Gryffidor." "WHAT?" Ginny was about the take out her wand when Adrienne stopped her. "Let's just go Ginny, he's not worth getting a detention or two over."
The two girls started to walk away when they suddenly felt splashes of water soaking through their shoes. They looked up and saw Peeves with arm fulls of water balloons which he just happened to be aiming right at them. Ginny and Adrienne ducked, a balloon nearly missing them and hit Pansy square in the face. Draco suddenly burst out laughing, tears streaming down his face from laughing so hard. "Drakie!!! It's not funny!" Pansy shouted as she stalked off. Draco looked up and saw Adrienne laughing too. 'Wow she has the most beautiful smile.' He thought to himself. Then, they both stopped laughing as they felt water dripping over their faces. They had forgotten that Peeves still had the water balloons. "PEEVES!" they heard Filch shout from the end of the hall. The polterguist then turned his attention away from the three and onto Filch, his next victim.
It was now Friday, the day to board the Express and make the journey home for break. The students were all waiting outside at the station with their bags, some huddled together to keep warm. Draco Malfoy was too busy staring at a red head whose last name was not Weasly to notice that he was shivering. Pansy still wasn't talking to him, which he was most grateful for. He was snapped out of his trance by the sudden firey pain in his arm. It was happening more frequently now, and it started to annoy him.
Ginny, Adrienne, Ron, Hermione, and Harry were all standing close together, actually it was more that Ron, Hermione, and Harry were huddled together doing, what Ginny said was "conspiratizing", over God knows what. "Do you think I'm pretty Adrienne?" Ginny suddenly asked her best friend, not looking at her, but staring straight ahead. "Gin, you are very pretty, but sorry to tell you, I don't swing that way," Adrienne laughed. Ginny punched her in the arm and then laughed with her. "Why? Whats wrong Gin?" "It's just that, I've liked Harry for a long time now, and I just don't think he sees me more than Ron's baby sister," Ginny said now in a whisper. "Ginny, Harry is a guy, Ron's friend or not, he IS a guy. That means even if you haven't noticed, he's been sneaking peaks at you." Ginny stared at her in disbelief. "Yea, right," Ginny replied as the train came into view. Ginny and Adrienne found a compartment by themselves. Ginny had fallen asleep within the first few minutes of leaving the station. Adrienne was now staring out of the window, watching the snow falling. She suddenly brought her hand up to the side of her head as she felt a sharp pain. Then the images started flowing in.
Ginny awoke with a start, having fallen over the side of the bench. She rubbed herself off and then sat back down. It had gotten dark, but then she something flickering. She looked at the lamps that were lighting up the train and saw that they were flickering rather violently. She then looked over at Adrienne and saw her slumped over in her seat, pressing her hands to her head, her face scrunched up in pain. "Adrienne? What's wrong?" Adrienne's only response was a moan of pain and a single tear rolling down her cheek. "Adrienne! Wake up! What's happening?" Ginny shouted as she started to shake her. The lights were flickering even more than they had been before. Their compartment door suddenly flew opening, making Ginny jump with fright. "What are you shouting about?" came Draco Malfoy's voice from the doorway. Ginny had no time to answer. Draco had looked at Adrienne's form and rushed inside. "What's wrong with her?" Draco asked Ginny. "I don't know, I just woke up and found her like this." Ginny stood up, allowing Draco to kneel in front of Adrienne. She was shaking now. He moved closer to her and said, "Adrienne, can you hear me?"
The lights then stopped flickering, and Adrienne looked up at him, revealing her glazed over eyes and whispered, "He is coming." The train then jerked to a sudden stop, throwing the students all over their compartments. When Draco opened his eyes, he found Adrienne had landed on top of him and the Weasly girl was sitting upright rubbing her head from where she must have hit it. Adrienne then moaned as she awoke and pushed herself off of Draco's body. "Adrienne! Are you ok? What the hell happened to you?" Ginny burst out lunging at her friend. "I'm fine," was all she said. "That still doesn't answer her last question. And what did you mean by 'he is here'?" Draco asked. Adrienne stared at him and then at the floor. She then moved slowly closer to him. Her hand touched his wrist and then rolled up his sleeve, revealing the dark mark on his arm. "He is here." She repeated. Ginny's eyes were about to pop out of her head at the site of the dark mark. Draco glared at her and pulled his sleeve back down rather forcefully. "If I tell you, you cannot tell anyone," Adrienne said at last. "Fine, only if you promise not to suddenly get the urge to tell anyone else about what I am," Draco spat.
Adrienne stared into his deep gray eyes and then looked at her best friend, then to the floor. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm a seer."
"Adrienne, aren't you excited to be going home for holiday?" Ginny asked her breaking her train of thought. "Yea, of course I am. It's just, I don't know, I guess I've been really tired lately, probably from all that homework." "Yea, I know, Snape just wont give us a break."
