Draco, the others, and I were walking by the lake, trying to decide what we were going to do for my birthday.
"We could go to The Three Broomsticks and have lunch," Harry suggested. Since today was Saturday all the students who were thirteen and older were allowed to go to Hogsmead.
"But we can't go!" Jordyn protested. "Me and Tay aren't old enough!" Her voice was hoarse and scratchy and her eye looked half open.
"You look bloody awful," Ron said.
"I'm sick moron," Jordyn snapped. "You don't look any better."
"Summer Flu is going around," I said. "Look's like you three caught it." Jordyn, Ron, and Hermione all looked like they were about to fall over.
"Off to the Hospital Wing you three," Harry ordered. Groaning, the three of them walked back to the castle.
"I wish you could come to Hogsmead with us Tay-chan," I said.
"She can," Harry replied. "She can use my Invisibility Cloak." I grinned and told Harry to hurry and go get it.
Once we had entered Hogsmead Taylor took off the cloak, there were so many students here that no one would notice that she was too young if we didn't make a big show of it. We went to the Three Broomstick and had lunch then we went around to some of the shops. We picked something up for the other three since they weren't able to be here and then went out to the path that led to the Shrieking Shack.
"Let's go see the shack," Taylor said tugging on my hand. "C'mon, please?" I laughed and nodded.
"'Kay," I replied smiling down at her. With that we walked up the path.
Just before we reached the shack the back of my neck prickled and I felt my stomach turn over. I gasped.
No...not here. Not now...I thought feeling panicky. I moved over to a flat stone and dug a piece of parchment and a pen out of the bag I had slung over my shoulder. Quickly I wrote down what I remembered from the dream I had had when I had gotten sick. Plus a note to the others.
If I'm gone then I've been taken to the Riddle House. I'm in the basement...please find an adult to help you...I don't want any of you getting hurt...
I replaced my pen and was about to fold the parchment when someone stepped up behind me. I tensed and whirled around.
"Surprise," Lucius hissed. I gasped, dropped my bag and the parchment, and then everything went dark.
