"Please do come in," a very small wizard was standing on a pile of books. Melody sat next to Hermione in the front row, of course. Carmella sat next to Olivia who was soon told off for talking, Pansy and Draco laughed coldly. 'Just ignore them' Carmella told herself.
"Are you ok," Olivia whispered taking out her charms books.
"Yeah I'm fine," Carmella smiled awkwardly.
"Now please turn to page four hundred and twenty six," the small teacher squeaked.
"That's Professor Flitwick," Hermione informed Melody who was looking strangely at the tiny living creature who started to tell the class about a rare spell.
"Know this one," Melody smirked leaning back in her seat. Hermione scolded at her before turning to copy something off the board. Carmella however didn't copy down anything but instead stared at Draco and Pansy who cuddled up together at the other end of the back row. Carmella wasn't jealous of Pansy; instead she just despised everything about her.
"I hate you," Carmella shouted, Olivia looked at her, everyone turned to look at her, she didn't mean to say it out loud she was just thinking about them. Professor Flitwick looked at Carmella who had now turned a deep shade of red.
"Would you like to explain yourself Miss. Dale?" Flitwick said putting his wand down and staring straight at her. Carmella cleared her throat.
"Um…" a group of Griffindors started to giggle, it was Seamus, Neville and a rather attractive brown haired boy, "No not really," Carmella stared at the ground and started to pick at a thread in her jumper.
"Would you not? Well them I suggest you keep your beliefs to yourself next time," the professor shook his head, "Honestly, children these days," he said quietly to himself. Olivia stared sympathetically at her, Carmella didn't say a thing all lesson not even to Olivia. Hermione found the lesson particularly difficult and asked Melody for some help, this made Melody feel very clever indeed. They all scrambled out of the classroom to lunch. Melody decided that her and Hermione would go to the library to revise the spell they had learnt today. Harry and Ron went back to the common room.
"You got much homework Harry?" Ron asked quizzically. Harry peered at him through his glasses.
"Nah but I'll be here for weeks trying to do the homework Snape gave us," Harry moaned. Ron nodded his head. He was about to complain about the rest of the homework he had got when Hermione and Melody burst in panting loudly.
"Harry? Ron?" Melody shouted. She spotted Harry and Ron, her and Hermione ran over to them.
"What's up?" Harry frowned. Melody handed him an envelope and gestured him to open it. He read it, every now and again looking up in disbelief. Ron read it next, it said:
Two enemies will unite,
A battle they shall fight,
One shall die,
And one shall live,
The night shall grow old,
But one will not,
Blood will help,
And blood will be spilt.
Ron gasped they all looked at each other. Melody also handed them other pieces of paper to look at.
"We found these with it," Melody said; Harry and Ron studied them, "Look they're all signed by Draco Malfoy, it's obvious he's behind this prophecy,"
"Malfoy!" Ron exclaimed, "That filthy rat, I say we go and break his neck now!" Hermione rolled her eyes.
"No we can't, we aren't supposed to know remember," Melody stopped him.
"Where did you find this anyway?" Harry asked the girls.
"Well we were reading about the spell we learned today, and we found it in that book," Hermione explained.
"Which book was it?" Harry asked the girls who looked at each other straight away.
"Well we found it in the forbidden section, lucky Hermione's a prefect. Anyway, it was attached to a page in a book about how to perform unforgivable curses and spells from dark magic." Melody tried not to make it sound as bad as it was.
"It most probably is Draco but how can we be sure, we can't be certain," Hermione pointed out.
"But it's signed by him…unless it was signed by someone pretending to be Draco…like his father" Ron said cleverly.
"But how would he get his hands on the book?" Melody asked them.
"I don't know perhaps they took it or got Draco to take it," Harry suggested.
"No, Madame Pince would know straight away she practically knows every book in the whole library, I'm sure she would notice," Hermione said placing a hand on her hip.
"It has to have been put there by someone in the school, our only connection is Draco," Melody frowned trying to think of someone else.
"Maybe Crabb and Goyle put it there," Ron suggested.
"No they are too stupid, how about Carmella. She's a perfect culprit, she is friends with Draco, and she's quite clever." Harry said looking at Hermione who was shaking her head, "what's wrong with Carmella?"
"No, it can't be her, one, she's only been in the school for two weeks she would hardly have the time, two, if you idiots haven't noticed she's hardly been buddies with Draco he's been hanging around with Pa…" Hermione paused and picked up the note, searching for clues. The rest of them looked very confused.
"What were you saying?" Ron asked Hermione.
"That's it…" Hermione widened her eyes excitedly.
"What's it?" Harry said squinting at Hermione who looked like a little child with a new toy.
"It's… It's… it's Pansy Parkinson!" she exclaimed.
"How can you be so sure?" Melody questioned.
"Well, she has had access to every book in the library on demand, what with being a Prefect and all, and she's been getting closer and closer to Draco ever since the summer," Hermione looked around none of them got what she was talking about.
"What's getting closer to Draco got to do with this prophesy?" Harry squirmed at the last word, which came out of Ron's mouth.
"Well in my mind I can picture Lucius Malfoy getting in contact with Pansy and telling her to get rid of Carmella who, which I found out from a Ravenclaw, wasn't liked by Lucius very much." Hermione said in a robotic tone.
"I think your jumping to conclusions too much," Melody said to Hermione.
"No I'm not, it could very well happen and I bet it did," Hermione did have a point. Ron and Harry weren't convinced.
"But why would he want to get rid of Carmella," Harry asked.
"Well in the prophecy it talks about destroying one of two enemies," Hermione paused.
"You don't mean to tell me you think Carmella is one of the people involved in this do you?" Ron swallowed hard, Hermione nodded, "If it's true that means that the other person has to be her enemy. Who's her enemy?"
"I think we all know the answer to that don't we," Melody pointed to herself. Harry and Ron looked at each other.
"Well it could be Draco and Harry," Ron said trying to cheer up Melody who looked very glum.
"We all no Lucius wouldn't want to kill his own son and he couldn't kill Harry, so no Ron I don't think so," Hermione replied, "It most likely is Carmella and Melody or else Pansy and Carmella,"
"But Draco wouldn't allow Pansy to die so I guess it's me. Great! Haven't been in the school for two weeks but look what I've got myself into. I'm gunna die," she said sulkily.
"Your not going to die, stupid," Harry said hugging her tightly, "I'll make sure of it, if it's the last thing I do."
