This was going to be a bad day.
She could feel the villager's hostility burning through her back. Suddenly something hard smacked into the small of her back. Slowly she turned around her, eyes blazing red.
"You shouldn't have done that." Her voice was like silk sliding over the ears of those watching her in fear. She turned again. Before she had taken two steps the village exploded in flames.

Harry shot out of bed. He looked at his bed in horror. The sheets were crisp to the touch and his curtains were smoldering.
"What the hell?" Ron sat up in his bed his red hair tousled beyond belief. "What in Merlin's name is that smell?"
"It's nothing," Harry mumbled. "Just go back to sleep." Quickly Harry cast a dousing spell and the little sparks were extinguished. 'I wonder what made that happen.'
"Harry!" Hermoine called as she banged on the dorm room door. "Ron! Get out of bed right now or you are going to miss breakfast!" At the mention of the word breakfast Ron shot out of bed and into the bathroom before Harry even had a chance to turn around.
"Is something wrong mate? You look worried. Is it something about the burning smell in the room this morning?" Ron asked, while fixing his mouth around a spoonful of oatmeal.
"What burning smell?" Hermoine looked at Ron knowing she could get information out of him easier. Harry shot a glare at Ron before he could open his mouth again.
"It was nothing Herm." Then up at the head table Dumbledore stood and the Great Hall became silent.
"It has come to my attention that odd occurrences have been happening to some of you students. If anything unusual should happen please inform either me or the nearest teacher. Thank you." He sat back down among murmurs that were filtering through all four tables.
