Chapter Thirteen
The Gryffindor Common room was nice and warm as the rain pounded down outside. It was a good night to sit in front of the fire and read a good book. That's just what Mya had been doing for the last hour or so; she was curled up in a chair with a book. The book was leaning against her knees and she was asleep peacefully in the big chair.
In her dream she was in a place she visited quiet often, it was a unique little house. She knew what was about to happen it always did, but she stayed anyways. Mya silently walked in to the house and made her self at home at the table. She looked around like she always did it was a very neat place, everything was were it belonged no questions asked. The stairs leading upstairs were worn and looked like they hadn't been used in a few months.
Mya was waiting patiently in the kitchen for someone who was unnamed, but he didn't need a name. She was whistling to herself an older tune, she had to be waiting longer than last time she was there.
The door slammed shut behind her but she didn't turn to look, with a flash in front of her she lifted her eyes up from the table. The two pairs of eyes met and together the two walked over to the fire.
"Why am I here again so soon, what's going to happen now?" Mya asked.
"Look at the fire and how unevenly it burns, just like the chances taken by all of your friends, and the choices they make." The unearthly voice said.
"What's that suppose to mean, that one of the choices one of my friends is going to make will lead to an uncertain tragedy?" Mya asked looking at the fire.
The person looked up from the fire and at Mya with its black eyes, and dark blue skin. Mya stared at its ghostly face that held no emotions, and never had. Mya waited for an answer, but it never came.
She watched him open his mouth, but as he did she felt as if she was pulled backwards by her navel. Then everything started fading out around her, she was surrounded by darkness again.
Mya's eyes snapped open she took a deep breath and looked up at Ron standing in front of her. He looked down at her and smiled lightly; Ron sat down in front of her, she turned in the chair taking her book and closed it.
"Hey are you alright?" he asked taking her hand.
"Yeah, I'm fine just tired that's all." She said pulling him up.
"Well no doubt its almost mid-night, and you need to get some sleep we've got classes tommorw." Ron said as they walked up the stairs to the rooms.
"What are you still doing up then?" she asked tiredly.
"I couldn't sleep, I had to many things on my mind," he said stopping in front of the girls room door.
"Oh, I hope you can sleep now, we've got a test in transfiguration tommorw," she said smiling.
"Sleep well Honey," Ron said and kissed her lightly.
That day Ron and Mya walked out of the Transfiguration holding hands and talking about the test; Harry and Hermione behind them. Together they all headed to Charms with Flickwitt.
"I definitely failed that test, I didn't even study at all!" Ron said to the others.
"I've been telling you since first year Ron you have to study if you expect to pass the classes." Hermione said as a matter of fact.
"I agree with Ron I studied but I still think I might of failed McGonagall's test." Mya said to them all.
"Yeah I saw you studying, you were studying pretty hard, studying the inside of your eyelids." Harry said and they all started laughing.
"Well did you study Harry?" asked Mya looking back at him.
"Not exactly...but I did open my book once I think," Harry said thinking about it.
"Figures Harry doesn't think he needs to study the hero knows it all already...he doesn't even need school," Ron said playfully pushing him as Hermione walked past them.
"So Harry you know the Halloween dance is coming up in like two weeks, so who are you going to ask to go with you?" Ron asked looking at Mya and squeezing her hand.
"I don't know, maybe your sister, she's had a crush on me forever," Harry said thinking about it.
"That's crazy ask Hermione, anyways I think Ginny is already going with Neville or maybe Seamus." Mya said as Hermione sat talking to Parvati.
Harry looked up at Mya thoughtfully then smiled at her as they took there seats. Maybe he would ask Hermione to go with him, after all they'd been friends for a long time. Hermione and him had always gotten along, he didn't think she had plans yet either. A few minutes later Hermione popped back in to her seat and smiled at her friends.
Mya sat at a table in the library after lunch, she had study hall and a report to do for defense against the Dark arts due next class. Ron had gone to find a book and left her at the table by herself.
"Mya!" she heard her name.
"Hey are you going with Ron to the Dance?" Cherry asked sitting down on the other side of the table.
"Yeah, why? Your going with Draco aren't you?" asked Mya looking up.
"Yeah he asked me, I was wondering what you were planning on wearing to it though...I figured you already had it drawn out." Cherry said looking around.
"You know me to well," said Mya pulling out a piece of paper.
"We're old souls, get use to it." Cherry replied.
"Its going to be about four inch's above the knee, and you can see that it flares out at the bottom, it black the sleeves are going to be laced up with pink ribbon, an light pink strip across the waist going up sort of diagonal," she said showing her every thing on the picture.
"Well this is mine, the same length but the sides of the dress lace up to about the hip with silver the dress will be dark green, silver strip going the opposite way of yours, the sleeves have holes going up the arms, and that's about it," Cherry said putting up the picture.
"When are we going to have time to make them though?" Mya asked.
"Actually I'm going to start mine when I get the material from ma, she's suppose to be sending it in the next few days." Cherry said getting up.
"I guess I should probably get a hold of my gran then so I have time to get it all together." Mya said putting her head on the table.
"You had another dream, didn't you?" Cherry asked sitting back down.
"What... yeah but I don't know what's going to happen Ron woke me up right as I was about to find out...but the guy said something about how all my friends take uneven chances and he related it to how unevenly the fire burns." Mya said telling her about.
"I don't know either, did you ask Debra she's always been the one who can interpret what they mean." Cherry said getting up again.
"What where are you going?" Mya asked as Cherry walked to the left.
"To go get Debra she's in here right now to, so hold on alright," said Cherry walking off.
~~~
"So what do yo think it means?" Mya asked looking at Debra.
"Well its quiet simple actually, it means that one of your friends one of us, is going to make a bad decision and end up getting burned because of it." Debra said, Mya nodded.
"Oh I see its going to be Cherry!" Mya said laughing.
"What?! Why do I always have to make the bad choices? Huh?" she asked pushing Mya backwards.
"Yall are crazy I'll see you later," Debra said getting up.
"Tell Steven we said hi and...that's it." Said Mya as Debra walked off.
The next week went by fast as both girls were counting down the days until the dance. They were also spending there free time now making there dresses perfect for the dance in the next week. All the girls decided they were going to have lunch together that day to talk about the dance coming up. It was the talk of everybody, everywhere they'd go they'd here about it from some one else.
"So Claire are you and Greg going to the Dance together, or did ya'll find other people?" Debra asked.
"No Greg asked some one else, so as of now I'm stuck going so-lo," Claire said.
"Adam and Jason don't have dates yet, you go with one of them if you want." Offered Cherry.
"No that's okay I've been thinking of asking this one guy in my house named Justin, he's sort of cute." Claire said looking up.
"Debra your going with Steven then?" Mya asked her.
"Yeah I think I might, I cant believe its only four days away," Debra replied.
"I know I cant wait I almost have my dress finished its going to be perfect." Cherry said looking at Mya.
"Really? I still have a lot to do on mine," Mya said looking around.
"You better get to work on it only three days left to finish it up right," Claire said shaking red strands of hair back.
"Yes, I know and let me guess yours has been done for the last month or so huh?" asked Mya rolling her eyes.
"Well actually yes I have I didn't mean for it to be a Halloween dress but it will work, what's yours going to look like ya'll?" asked Claire looking at the others.
The other three girls told the others what there dresses were going to look like when they were done. The four girls laughed as the bell dismissing lunch rang, one class to go. Debra and Claire headed down one corridor, as Mya and Cherry headed to History with Binns. They were in for a long boring almost two hours of history to look forwards to.
