Chapter 2: One Down

Remus had just told his class, Gryffindor and Slytherin's seventh years, what to read in their books. He sat down behind his class and found a note on his desk. The strange thing is that there was one sentence on it.

Look for the girl with the broken smile

He reread the note several times. Which girl wrote this? Then he realized that the girl still had to be at school. When Remus looked up, everything looked normal except that Hermione Granger had a frown on her face and he could see tears as well. Why would she cry? But then he saw that Ron was giving Harry a note that looked to be from Hermione. She must be breaking things off with him. That was the only thing to get his mind off that and on the note again. He would show it to Snape right away.

The class was almost over so he let them leave a little early, seeing that Hermione would not look at Harry or the other way around. Hermione was the last on out and Remus walked towards the dungeon when he saw another girl with tears in her eyes, the fact is that that was the third girl he saw like that today. But he did not think anything of it. He walked to the door of Snape's office and knocked on it.

"Go away!" A voice yelled from inside.

"It is about the girl." Remus yelled back in and a moment later Snape was looking him in the eye. "I got a note." Snape took it and gave Remus another one.

It read the same thing as the note he gave him. "We got the same note, the girl must know that we are starting to figure it out." Snape had a frown forming on his face.

"So what should we do, this hand writing is very neat. We could see if it matches anyone's?" Remus hoped they might have some luck to night.

"No, I already did that, it doesn't match anyone's." Snape was still looking at the note.

Remus said goodbye and headed back to his office. But before he could get there, he saw a person on the ground in the corner, weeping. He walked over to it, and found it to beMorgan MacDougal. Morgan was crying hard now. Remus crouched down next to her until her crying slowed down. Then she looked up at him.

"Are you okay?" Remus asked.

"I guess."

"Why were you crying?"

"I was…. Never mind, it is not important."

Remus hesitated for a moment but then gave in to his thoughts. "Morgan, do you know anything about this note?" Remus gave her the note and she read it a few times before answering.

"I have heard it before, and I know what it is saying."

"Morgan, will you tell me?"

"I don't think I should. She will tell you when it is time."

"You know who wrote this?"

"Yes, I do and I know what you and Snape are doing to try to figure out who wrote this. Now you can take me off the list. I am not the girl."

"Wow, how did you figure out our plans?"

"A friend told me and the rest of the girls who help her. One down, nine more to go, I will not help you, Professor, it is not right."

"Okay, Morgan, are you sure you are okay?" Remus was still taking in everything she said. She shook her head and was off, leaving him to watch her retreating back. That was the second time, and will not be the last. Remus walked back to his office, everything was happening to quickly. Morgan was another girl off the list.

Remus could not get it through his head. What was Morgan talking about.

"Hello, Morgan," Morgan turned around to see a two girls looking at her.

"Did he question you?" The shorter of the two girls asked.

"Yes and I told him what I was aloud to. What do you think will happen when they finds out it was you?" Morgan turned to look at the taller girl.

"I am not sure, I am in love with one of them and they both were in love with me, but I have no clue what will happen when they find out. Anything could happen." Tears began to ran down her eyes, for the second time today.

"It will be okay, they will understand. They got the notes by the way."

"Good."

Snape looked at the note again. He could not get it off his mind. He had just woken up from the dream again. Except the one thing different was that this time he saw the girl perfectly. She had black hair, with red tips. No one had hair like that at Hogwarts, now or any time he could remember other then back then. Her eyes stood out the most, they were crystal clear. No colour shown in them. She was very slim and was not too tall. But that did not help any.

Snape decided to read a book to fall asleep to. He picked a book off the shelf, A Hogwarts A History. The girl had said she read that book before, and that was one of the things that had impressed him back when he was in school. She was un like any other girl. A smile always shown on her face, king and gentle. He had fallen in love with her. The day she left, her smile disappeared, never to return. Wait, back up, what had he just said? Her smile disappeared, never to return. What did she mean, her smile would never return? Look for the girl with the broken smile. He realised that almost to late to do anything about. The girl he knew was draining out of the girl she had become, although he did not know that, yet.

She sat in her bed, wondering if she would ever be happy again. The day she had to leave almost killed her. Her smile was never fixed and wouldn't, until the one she loved would come back into her life. She looked up at the moon, only half-full. The night was cold as she sat on a rock by the lake.

Would they except me, once they know who I am? That one question kept her form sleeping at all that night. She was so worried even though Morgan and a few others had tried to help her. She thought of going to the hospital wing for a potion, but couldn't move from her spot on the rock.

She had snuck out side through her dormitory window. She did what Muggles would do in some of their windows. She made a rope out of clothes and had climbed out.

The next day would be a Hogsmeade weekend and everyone was very excited to go. That is everyone except for a few girls. That would be most of the girls on the list, non of the slytherins. If you are asking what list, well the list is the list that Remus and Snape made.

Harry and Ron had tried to get Ginny and Hermione to come, but they weren't in the mood, instead they went down to the Room of Requirements. They were the first two down there, Morgan came next, then Mandy and Luna. After that, they did not pay as much attention of who came next.

Everyone was there with in ten minutes. Most of the time they talked or read. Nothing way worth mentioning. But then, Morgan, doing her homework for potions, managed to almost set the room on fire, it was put out right away, no harm done. No one could stop laughing. They didn't until a Professor knocked on the door and called in to them. Everyone fell silent once they found out it was Remus. They let him in and watched as he walked in looking at each girl in turn.

"What were you guys laughing at?" Remus watched everyone give each other weird looks.

But the thing he did not expect to happen did. In fact no one expected it. The potion that Morgan had tried to make started to spark, sending sparks all over the room. They were bouncing off the walls and the ceiling. Most of the girls ducked. Remus jumped in the air to get away from one heading for his feet. Remus then ran and ducked next to Morgan. Hermione and Ginny were the only two with enough sense to jump up and stop the potion.

They both were almost there when Ginny was hit by a spark and fell to the floor. It was up to Hermione. She managed to get to it and slow it down, before she was hit with a spark and flew across the room hitting the wall, then landing on the floor. After another minute or so, the potion stopped sparking and everyone got up off the floor. Ginny and Hermione were the only two left on the floor. Hermione had hit her head pretty hard, she was not moving. Ginny crawled over to her and began to start laughing. Hermione slowly sat up and joined in laughing.

Everyone else was staring at the two, until Morgan started to laugh. It seemed to spread through out the room and before they knew it, all the girls were laughing. Remus backed up against the wall, kinda worried. But then he started to laugh.

"What, heheh, is hehe happening?" He could not stop laughing.

"Morgan, hehe, was making, hehe a lau, hehe, ghing potion." Hermione was still laughing. After another moment, she regained her control and tried to sit up, but found it hard. Her face went blank as a shot of pain went through her body and she screamed aloud.

"Are you alright?" Remus had finally stopped laughing and was looking at Hermione, with a worried expression on his face.

"I am not sure," Hermione tried to stand again, but it was no use. Ginny walked over to her and helped her up. Hermione had to lean on Ginny to stay up.

"Morgan, come help me with Hermione, I want to get her up to the Hospital Wing." Ginny looked over at Morgan as she shook her head. Morgan took one of Hermione's arms around her shoulder; Ginny did the same with the other. The three of them walked out the door before Remus could say another thing.
