I rolled back and forth on the bed trying to get myself to sleep but I couldn't. As much as I tried not to dwell on what I saw lingering at the grounds my conscience felt guilty for some reason or other. What if it's Harry? I thought. I don't think I could bear knowing his life could possibly come to an end. I got out of bed, the cold night embracing me. I shivered gently and wrapped my arms around my body trying to suck the warmth.
I grabbed a robe and quietly walked out of the girl's dormitory. I tip toed to the boy's dormitory, trying not to catch anyone's attention. I knocked on the door gently. No answer. I tried it again, this time my knock was slightly louder. A soft groan escaped from the room and the door slid upon softly. Ron's flaming red hair poked out, one eye shut.
'What the hell do you want?' snapped Ron annoyed that I woke him up so late.
'Is Harry in there?' I asked.
'Where would he be?' asked Ron, his voice sounded less an amused than he intended to.
'Just look if he is in his bed will you,' I whispered harshly, losing my patience with him. He turned his head around and scanned the bed where Harry was meant to be.
'Yes he is there. Next time don't come this late,' he barked and shut the door at my face. Next time I wasn't going to interrupt Ron and his sleep, I don't think I want my head to be bitten off.
The harmonic singing voice of the birds woke me up. I jolted up from the bed and headed to the great hall. The sweet aroma of breakfast lingered to my nostrils and I inhaled. I sat at the Gryffindor table, a cereal bowl in front of me. Teachers seemed to be talking amongst themselves, a stern expression fixed on their faces that seemed slightly ashen than usual. I tried to understand what they were saying as professor McGonagall walked past with professor Flitwick talking rapidly about some incident that had took place last night in the forbidden forest and that was as much as I heard.
Ron and Harry walked in, a big smile playing on their faces. Ron hasn't got this excited since he met the veela in his fourth year at Hogwarts. 'Some one got killed last night,' said Ron still smiling. Why he was so happy that some one died was beyond me and I got agitated 'Ron that is cruel!' I snapped at him. My foul mood didn't change his mood; he bent towards me and whispered 'It was Draco Malfoy.' A snigger played on his perfectly freckled face.
'O.k. fair enough, continue on the glory detail,' I uttered. Though I was ecstatic about the news, something ate me from the inside. I felt guilty, guilty that I saw a lonely figure walking to the forbidden forest yet I ignored it.
I let a false smile appear on my face and tried to seem joyful. I ate the cereal, my mind going through what I could have done to save his pitiful life. Knowing that Draco would not torment us and annoy us made me smile but then the smile would evaporate leaving nothing but gloom and guilt. Why I felt like this even I was unable to answer this. I tried not to dwell on what happened to our counterpart and focused my thoughts on eating the cereal.
'Students we have devastating news,' came Dumbledore's voice. Students broke out into chatter. Dumbledore hushed them and continued 'A fellow student lost their life yesterday due to an attack in the forbidden forest.' Student's gasped and chaotic mummer filled the hall. 'While another student was injured. We have some idea to who the attacker might be so until then stay away from the grounds,' said Dumbledore, I have never see him speak so sternly.
We all walked towards the dungeon to do potions. Snape's greasy head walked past, a solemn look on his face. The fact that it might actually be Draco hit me. I felt empty, as though I had lost something important. I smiled sheepishly and thought to myself don't be ridiculous, you hated that git! And walked into the dungeons and took my usual seat at the back. How was I ever going to be able to get this guilt off my conscience? I thought...
