Chapter 5- beyond sight

Jess Mcairn remembered at this time last year he was counting down to when Hogwarts started. Now watching the moonlight through the window. Jess thought of when he thought of nothing but going to Hogwarts, indeed he hadn't planned on having a secret friendship with a Gryffindor who happened to be the daughter of a mass murder but he had found a real friend in her. His Slytherin friends were not friends at all; it seemed to be a Slytherin trait not to have any real friends.

The holidays had gone very uneventful, Carlie, for some reason had given up on the idea of finding her father. She'd said that he was right that he probably doesn't care about her and if he did he would have contacted her by now. Jess felt guilty about saying it, Sirius Black most likely did care for Carlie, when he was sane. He would be dead by now. It's very rare anyone stays in Azkaban that long. His eyes began to feel as if they had bricks to them and before he knew it, he was in a sound sleep.

It was dark and she couldn't see where all the moaning and mumbling were coming from. Lyndsay looked around, straining to here what the voices were saying. Then she heard a hoarse voice whispering close by.

Lyndsay wrenched her eyes to see where it was coming from. Because it was so dark she didn't notice that she'd just walked through a wall. On the ground was what looked like a man wearing rags. His hair was long and mattered, he lay against the wall and a little light came through a narrow window. He kept mumbling to himself.

"Hello?" Lyndsay asked.

He didn't look at her.

"Can you hear me?" Lyndsay asked again. She went to slap him and her hand went straight through him. Then he looked in her direction he was looking straight through her, Lyndsay turned around to she a large black figure, breathing in something. Her insides turned to ice and her blood slowed. She screamed as the blackness began to take her.

Lyndsay's eyes snapped open. She was breathing heavily and was shaking.

"Lyndsay what are you screaming about?" her sister, Alicia asked in a muffled voice.

"Bad dream" Lyndsay breathed.

"Well it wasn't real so go to sleep," She groaned.

"It felt so real though" Lyndsay had wanted to say but she couldn't find her voice.

Carlie and Jess were outside the Green Leaf. Lyndsay, Nathan, Sara and Mitchell where there. Jess hadn't seen much of Sara or her boyfriend Mitchell but he still got a hug from Sara.

"It was nice to meet you Jess and anytime you want to clean tables for me-" Miranda had laughed and told Sara that she would have to hire someone to do that.

Lyndsay and Carlie embraced and held it for a long time.

"I'll see you next holidays," Lyndsay said.

After Jess had gotten his hug from Sara and Lyndsay he came to Nathan and the two of them looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Carlie asked.

"Didn't you hear what he said?" Jess asked.

"No he didn't say anything," Carlie said.

"He did, he said 'don't feel offended if I don't hug you. You're a nice guy and all but not my type"

"I didn't hear him say that" Lyndsay said.

"Well you must be deaf then." Jess said.

"Okay, you lot, time to go" Miranda called.

Everyone hugged Carlie on last time and they went into the car.

Kings cross-station was packed with Muggles as usual. Miranda hugged Jess and Carlie.

"I'll miss you both" Miranda said.

"Yeah mum we will too" Carlie said.

They got their carts and pushed them away while waving to Miranda. As soon as they were out of sight of her Jess said.

"We probably won't talk for a while now"

"We should set up a meeting place," Carlie said.

"I'll see you on the train maybe" Jess began to walk away.

"See you" Carlie called.

Carlie was waiting for Fred and George Weasly; she spotted them a mile away by their hair.

She waved.

They looked over at her with puzzled looks on their faces and then she realized her hair was totally different.

"HEY GUYS!" she called.

Mrs. Weasley, followed by Fred, George, Percy, Ron and Ginny came over to her.

"What did you do to your hair?" Fred asked.

"You like it? I thought I might as well colour it since I chopped it" Carlie ran her fingers through it.

"It's different that's for sure" George said.

Percy was looking disapprovingly at Carlie. She smiled at this, she loved the shocked reaction.

"Hello Mrs. Weasley, Percy, Ron, Ginny" Carlie turned to them.

"Hello dear how was the rest of your holiday?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"It was great, I forgot how much I missed my friends" Carlie said.

"The muggle ones?" Fred asked.

"Yeah, them"

"Mother, look at the time" Percy said.

Everyone turned to the clock, which said five to eleven.

"Oh goodness, come on you all" Mrs. Weasly said.

The train ride went without incident and so did the sorting ceremony. As everyone was leaving Jess bumped into Carlie and shoved a piece of parchment in her hand.

"Watch where you're going Mcairn" Fred hissed at him.

Carlie looked apologetically at him and he smiled.

As they walked up to Gryffindor tower, Fred and George were having a go at Jess.

"Bloody idiot, didn't even apologize" Fred said.

"Yeah what a git" George agreed.

Carlie opened the piece of parchment, which said

Ten o'clock, the library.

Carlie smiled to herself as her, Fred and George came to the fat lady. This was turning out to be a very good year.
