A/N: I don't own anything.
I've also decided that Victoria (fem!Toris) is in Ravenclaw while Feliks is in Hufflepuff.
Enjoy!
And I forgot to say earlier-this was inspired from this piece of awesomeness.

Without the spaces.
And this chapter is...a bit gruesome, so I might lift the rating if the readers want me too.
So if you want me to lift the rating, review and say so. If not, I'll keep it.
The Ravenclaw student Victoria Lorinaitis sighed as the two perky Hufflepuff and Slytherin students ran through the hall screaming for their friends.
The Hufflepuff kid bumped into her, and Victoria recognized him as Antonio Fernandez, someone she had met during the holidays.
"Hi, Victoria!" he said.
Victoria waved half-heartedly.
"Hi, Toria! Like, what's up?"
Victoria turned around and sighed.
It was Feliks Ćukasiewicz, Victoria's Hufflepuff best friend.
"So, what's the problem?" asked Feliks, striding over confidently.
"Gilbert's missing, and Miranda thinks he's done something stupid." said the Slytherin, who Victoria recognized as Francis Bonnefoy.
"Like, who's Miranda?" asked Feliks.
"You don't know Miranda?" asked Francis. "Quel dommage, quelle perte."
(A/N: Which means 'What a pity, what a loss.' in French.)
"Like, I have no idea what you're talking about." said Feliks.
"I thought you wouldn't." laughed Francis.
Miranda ran through the hallways.
And she hit Athena.
"Hi, Miranda. What's the hurry?" she asked.
"Gil...Gilbert's missing!" exclaimed Miranda.
"Oh...he is?" asked Athena absent-mindedly.
Miranda sighed.
"Move, please!" she cried.
Athena sauntered over to the side and Miranda ran again.
Alice was not surprised when a there was a flustered knock on the door.
She opened it to find an equally flustered Francis standing on the doorstep.
"There's been a problem." he said quickly.
Alice began to close the door on him.
Francis stuck his hand in between the door.
"Mon ami, please, listen! Something's happened to Gilbert!" begged Francis.
Alice sighed and pulled open the door.
"What happened to Gilbert?" she asked.
Alfred opened the door to Antonio.
"Hola, Alfred. Um...we need your help." he said.
"Sure, the hero always helps! What's the problem?" replied Alfred enthusiastically.
"Um...well, Gilbert-" began Antonio.
"I don't want to help that bastard. I saw him flirting with my sister." said Alfred sternly.
Ludwig came to the door.
"Ah, I always thought Gilbert would get in trouble. I'll help. He may be an idiot on all costs, but he is my brother." he said.
"Alfred..." came a voice from behind Antonio.
Antonio moved aside, revealing Alice, pulling at a loose strand of her hair absent-mindedly.
"This isn't for Gilbert, you know. Your older sister is running through these halls, hopelessly lost, probably, and in need of backup, probably, and she needs a hero." Alice said gently, yet sternly.
I...get to be the hero for my older sister? She always took care of me when I was younger...and now she's in trouble and I have to help her! After all, I am the hero. Alfred thought. But...Gilbert isn't someone I like. I guess...
Alfred looked up.
"Okay, I'll do it. But for my sister." he said.
There was a quiet cough from behind the crowd around the Gryffindor door.
Alice stepped aside, and Kiku stepped into the crowd.
"I think...we should split up." he said quietly. "We'll be able to cover more ground."
Everyone was surprised by the normally quiet Japanese man's comment.
"That is a good point, Kiku." said Alice. "We'll split up. The Gryffindors, you look in the fields. The Slytherins, you roam the towers and dungeons, because you have passes to the dungeons. The Ravenclaws and I will check the moving stairways and their rooms. Hufflepuffs, you check the hallways. If we don't find them within...say, three hours, we meet back here and get Professor Dumbledore's assistance."
Everyone nodded and ran off in their destinations.
And then they heard the scream.
Miranda had screamed, loudly.
The scene set out in front of her was a surprising and shocking one for all of them.
Well, the first thing Miranda saw was blood.
All over the walls.
A tear fell down her face as she noticed the limp body lying in the corner.
Okay... she told herself. Calm down and assess the situation. There was a fight here, between Gilbert, and most probably Draco. Why would Gilbert have a fight with him anyway?
Miranda looked around.
Brutal, she decided, would be the best word to describe it. Brutal to a point it became gruesome.
Blood.
It was everywhere, coating the walls and the floor with an unearthly red aura.
Miranda's eyes fall onto the body lying in the corner.
Pale.
Both of them were pale, so Miranda was finding it hard to tell the difference.
Then she saw something that was just revealed to the light.
It caused her to step back and she fell to the floor.
Alfred found Miranda lying on the floor in an empty hallway.
"You guys! She's here! And we need to get him to the nurse!" he shouted.
The Slytherins ran and grabbed the limp body and dragged him off, aided by Ludwig.
When Miranda opened her eyes, Alfred turned around to face her.
"What did you see?" he asked.
"Red. I saw red." said Miranda, and she passed out again onto the cold floor.
A/N: By the way, that was a clue, the ending. But it's a roundabout clue.
Red. She could be describing Gilbert's eyes or the blood.
Also, I'm thinking of SuFin. Thoughts?
Off to the next chapter,
