The Way It Should Have Been
Story Two, Chapter Three: Something Is Wrong With Her
I was nervous about talking to Neville. I couldn't concentrate on any of my classes, I failed a test when had in Transfiguration, I blew up my potion in Potions, it was a mess! I was happy when it was break.
We met in the library, finding a quiet, hidden corner. We sat there for several moments, not speaking.
"So..." I started. He nodded.
"Yeah. Listen," he paused and laughed softly. "You're going to think I'm bonkers."
"No I won't." I answered gently.
"I'm being stalked by a house elf."
"What?" Maybe he was a little crazy.
"A house elf named Dobby."
"Neville, are you sure you're feeling alright?" I was concerned. A house elf? They weren't allowed to leave their masters houses.
"I knew this sounds crazy Sarah, but it's true. Two weeks before school started he appeared in my bedroom and told I couldn't go to Hogwarts. Something is going to happen Sarah, something real bad." He paused and looked at me. "And now Kat's acting odd and I think it has something to do with what's going to happen."
"She met with you yesterday didn't she?"
"Yeah."
"What did you two do?"
"She helped me with my homework, but I was trying to get some sort of information out of her. It didn't work." I sighed, relived but guilty too.
"Neville, when she met with you yesterday, I was jealous. I thought that you were going to her to talk, not me. And I questioned her. She paused when she said homework and I figured I was right. I'm sorry."
"Oh Sarah." He smiled and placed his hand on mine. "Kat is a great friend, but you were my first friend at Hogwarts. No one could replace you. I'll always come to you for help." We smiled softly at one another, blushing. He glanced at his watch. "Oh! Break is almost over. We'd better head to class." We gathered out books and headed to the Charms classroom. Halfway there, Neville grabbed my hand and held it until we reached the door and went in.
Adrian and Harry were there already. "Where's Kat?" I asked, sitting next to them. Neville sat next to me and Adrian saved a seat by him for Kat.
"Don't know. She left after you did Sarah. Haven't seen her since. Oh hi Kat." Kat ran into the room and sat down. Her hair was a mess and she looked really upset. Adrian patted her arm. "You okay?"
"Fine why?" I glanced at Neville and he looked suspicious.
"You've been acting weird lately." Neville said, pulling parchment out of his bag.
"No I haven't." Harry muttered something before Flitwick started class. When class was over, Neville and I tried to talk to Kat, but she said she had to do something and left in a really big hurry.
"Merlin, she is acting weird. She won't even joke around with me anymore." Adrian pouted, crossing his arms.
"Neville and I will try to find out what's wrong, but I don't know how well it will go. She won't really talk to anyone." Harry nodded.
"We have to find out what's wrong." After we entered the common room, we grabbed a few chairs by the fire and started our homework.
"Now when did this all start?" I chewed on the end of my quill. We weren't doing homework as much as worrying what was wrong with Kat.
"Almost immediately after school started. After Lockhart's class!" Adrian exclaimed.
"Could the fact that she didn't ace the test have anything to do with this?" Neville asked him.
"Yes. It could actually."
"How?" I asked Adrian.
"It's the only thing that makes sense."
"Where'd she go anyway?" Harry asked me. I shrugged.
"I'll check the dorm." I stood and walked to our dorm room. She was sitting on her bed, writing something.
"Kat!" She jumped and looked up at me, her eyes wide in fear. "What's wrong? We've been looking for you everywhere."
"Nothing. Just writing." I looked at the book she was writing in, but didn't see anything.
"Uh...you are?"
"Yes. What do you want?"
"Jeez, Kat. We're worried about you, you don't have to be so mean about it." I turned to walk out the door, when I heard the book being shut.
"What Sarah. I'm sorry. It's this journal." She held it out to me to see.
"What's so weird about it? It's a journal." Her eyes lit up with excitement.
"You're right. It is just a journal."
"Yeah, that's what I just said."
"I love your naivety." I nodded, not understanding. She smiled at me, gathered the journal up and disappeared out of the door. I followed her after several moments, seeing the guys sitting there. Kat was no where to be found.
"So Sarah. What'd did you say to her? She bounced down here, exclaimed something about a book and your wonderful naivety and disappeared out of the common room." Harry told me. I shrugged and sat down next to Neville.
"I don't know. All I said was 'It's just a journal' and she got all excited. I think she's losing it." They nodded and we continued our homework. Kat appeared awhile after we were done, a lot happier and acting a lot more normal.
"Thank you again Sarah. I think I'm better now." She smiled at me sweetly.
"Sure thing Kat! Anytime." Neville smiled at me and I returned it. 'There is something wrong with her.' I thought.
Okay, another chapter done. YEAH! I'm enjoying this year a lot at the moment. Review!
