31 Nights of Frights
An American Ghost
in Hogsmeade
Witches and wizards didn't need a seance to contact with the spirits, mainly because a lot of them were still hanging around and interacting with mortals. This was something Cassie had to get used to, because she had always thought ghosts were angry. And some of them at Hogwarts were. Myrtle for one - who she could barely spend an half hour with before wishing she was corpoeal enough to hit the other ghost (which she wasn't). Cassie didn't have a real haunting ground, and she couldn't really figure out how she was at Hogwarts.
Nick had told her that most of the ghosts here hadn't been brave enough to go on to the other side. So what was her excuse? She'd been ready for death, saw it coming, and had accepted it. What she didn't accept was finding herself wandering the cold halls of this creepy castle, still able to see the future, a gap in the months she died and the present, and cute British boys she couldn't date.
And what she really couldn't take - was the fact that she knew one of the said cute boys was gonna do something bad. Okay, well, there was something she could do. She smirked as she floated down through the floors of the castle, down to the dungeons and the fifth year boys dormitory. She hovered a foot off of the bed, her hands clasped under her chin, and her legs crossed Indian style. She smirked at the sleeping boy before screaming. A blonde, tossled head shot up out of the covers, his hand groping for his wand.
"Mornin' sleepy-head," Cassie laughed, her smile widening as Draco Malfoy shot farther back in his bed. "We're gonna have a little chat about what you're not gonna do over summer break, no matter what happens this spring, mmkay?"
