Woohoo! New Chapter time!

I don't own Harry Potter or its characters, JK Rowling does. I DO OWN VESPERA AND PUPPET OVER JAELAH.

October 31. Halloween. Everyone was excited about it, except for the class that we had classes still. Worst of all for the Slytherins, we had double potions in the afternoon with the Gryffindors.

We started our day surprisingly on time. The Great Hall had been decorated with floating pumpkins, and quite frankly I just hoped they weren't going to explode on me.

During divination, at least half of the Slytherins received the prediction that they were "Going to turn dark soon." My fortune was that I would die soon.

To say the least, all the Slytherins left divination laughing.

Jaelah came up to me during lunch, "Soooooo Vespera, when is it going to happen?"

I smiled, "Soon. Very soon. The best part is, I know the twins are going to do something similar. They'll just be blamed for it all, and no Slytherin points will be taken away."

Jaelah laughed, and Draco just shoved past us. Then we saw a bushy haired girl run past us, and into the girls' bathroom. "What's her problem?"

I looked at her, "She's a Gryffindor." I walked into the Great Hall and walked up behind Ron and Harry. "Whatever you idiots did to Hermione, I hope you're happy. She just ran past us crying."

Ron turned and looked at me, with a mouthful of food. "I didn't do anything. Bugger off." I glared at him, then left. I wasn't in the mood to lose any brain cells talking to him.

Jaelah and I sat down for lunch, carefully picking what we ate. We avoided touching some things, not because we did anything to them, but to mess with others. Some of the Slytherins looked at us, then stopped eating the food we weren't touching.

Once we finished eating, we walked over to the Gryffindor twins, each of us on one side. "Hello Star, Jaelah." The one next to me said, then looked at me, "How'd you know which was me? Was it just a lucky guess?"

I shook my head, "You two aren't all alike. I knew it was you."

Jaelah looked at me, "Vespera, we didn't come over here for you to flirt."

"Sorry, sorry. WE came to warn you, you may get blamed for our prank." I told the twins, we had to give them fairness.

They shrugged, "Can't be anything worse than what we've been blamed for before." George answered.

"But our prank will be better than yours."

"No doubt." Finished George.

Jaelah and I laughed, "You'll be surprised as to what we can do."

We stood up, "Catch ya later twins." I finished, then messed with Fred's hair, like he so often did with mine.

His hair was red again, but mine was still red too. I had found a liking for it. It had also stopped the students of Hogwarts thinking I was related to Draco.

Jaelah and I walked into the potions room, and sat together. Potions, was a great class, for the Slytherins. Snape favored us, and if we did the potion wrong he would take it anyways, and give us a second chance to fix the potion privately.

Jaelah and I did fairly well in the class. Our potion always turned out pretty great. Jaelah, however, enjoyed messing with some people's potions. She threw things in them to make them explode, or took away an ingredient to make the potion be ineffective.

I usually had the feeling that she did this on purpose, because she was, is, one of the best potion students I know.

After the mostly nondestructive potions class (Ron's potion turned pink instead of dark blue. Maybe the lack of batwings. Meanwhile, Neville never had the chance to finish his potion. According to Jaelah, she didn't even have to try to mess with his potions, he was already horrible.), we went to get ready for the feast.

We briefly told Draco about our genius ploy, and he nodded in agreement. The three of us would cause something interesting to happen.

As we all walked into the Great Hall for dinner, we acted as normal. Except, we told Draco not to eat anything Orange, just to mess with the Slytherins. After 20 minutes of eating food, suddenly people began turning Orange.

Not Draco, Jaelah, or myself. The Slytherins began glaring at us, and we looked around confused, then saw the Weasley twins grinning at us and waving, them too being Orange.

"Honestly, we didn't do this. Why would we? The only reason we weren't eating orange was to make you guys think something was wrong with it! If we actually knew something was there, we would have eaten it too so we wouldn't be too suspicious." I was trying to convince the Slytherins, and some of them nodded.

I did look at Draco and Jaelah and nodded. They waved their wands under the table with me, in the shape of a crescent moon. After doing this 5 times, we stopped and put our wands away. The job was finished, and our prank was actually pulled.

That was when suddenly the door burst open, and Professor Quirrell ran through saying "Troll! Troll in the Dungeon." He took a deep breath, "Just thought you ought to know." Then he fainted.

Havoc began to ensue, everyone running which way.

Dumbledore ordered all the houses to go into their common rooms to finish dinner. Snape was already walking past us at this point and he said to the prefects, "Go the back way into the common room. Do not, under any circumstance open the main doors until I have come by and said that it is okay." They nodded, then we all walked towards the front of the great hall, and behind a portrait. We followed an old staircase that seemed seldom used, and ending in the Slytherin Common area. Except, it was Gryffindor colored.

We were all sent into our dorms, and were headed there when Gemma called, "Draco, Jaelah, and Vespera, Stay in here." We sighed and turned back around. "You three will be fixing everything in here back into Slytherin colors. As your punishment for doing this in the first place."

Draco glared at us, "It wasn't me I swear. Obviously, I haven't even been talking to Vespera that much lately." Gemma glared at him and he answered, "Just wait until my Father hears about this."

Gemma rolled her eyes, "I don't care about your father Draco. You'll clean up the mess, along with you two." She then left.

I shrugged, "Assuming the twins used the same spell as we did on them, this should be simple enough." We waved our wands the counter direction we had before, and all the Gold and Red turned back into Green and Silver. "Easy enough. I'm going to go to bed now. Flint has us waking up at the crack of dawn for our last Saturday practice before the game."

The other two laughed at me, "Have fun." Jaelah said, "And don't wake me up in the morning, or you die." I shrugged and left.

I then turned around and looked at Jaelah and Draco, "Jaelah and Draco sitting in a tree." I then ran into the dorm and into the bed before Jaelah could attack me.

I woke up the next morning, to practice Quidditch. I didn't even bother with a shower, it was going to be a sweaty practice anyways.

I walked to the quidditch pitch and Flint began barking orders, to a half asleep team. To say the least, if a person wants to wake up quickly, a good way to do that is to go flying on a broom when it's cold in the morning.

When the sun came up, we started to get the balls out of the quidditch case. Then, practiced quidditch with skills.

After half an hour of this, I heard someone yell, "DUCK!" So, I did, while I sunk down on my broom. I looked upward to see what had flown past me, but when I did my broom went higher up.

I felt something crack against my back, this felt ever so familiar. Then dooowwwwnnnnn I went, falling off of my broom.

I just laid there, waiting for one of the other players to realize that I hadn't just been going down to catch a snitch. This time, I couldn't feel anything broken, actually, I couldn't feel anything.

"Star?" I heard come up from behind me. I looked behind me and saw Fred. "Why are you just watching Quidditch and not trying to catch the snitch?"

I blinked at him and tried to answer, but I couldn't talk. I opened my mouth and tried to talk, but words wouldn't come out, I looked up at Fred, and tried to move my hand, but it wouldn't. I mouthed, I think, 'Help me.'

I heard someone land on the ground, "Gryffindor, what are you doing on the field? We have it for another hour." Flint, of course. "Vespera, get back on your broom and stop lying there."

Fred knelt down next to me, "You're an idiot Flint."

"What did you just call me?" Flint was getting angry, and we all knew it.

"Star here, I came over because I didn't see her flying around with the rest of you. I just came over, and she was on the ground. She can't move, or talk. She's a danger magnet you know, especially when it comes to Quidditch." Fred glared up at Flint, "Well stop standing there and get Madam Pomfrey why don't you?" Flint waved to Bletchley who nodded and flew back to the castle.

I opened my eyes, and saw a face, Madam Pomfrey. "Ah, Miss Salazar, you're awake. We're going to have a few things to discuss. For no, you just need to rest more, understand?" I guess I had blacked out or something.

I nodded, and smiled, because I nodded my head without it hurting. "Yes Ma'am" I tried to say, but nothing came out. I looked up at her, my eyes pleading.

She sighed, "I can't tell you. Your head of house will be here soon, he will inform you of what is to happen next."

I swallowed and tried to push myself up, but I couldn't push myself up. Madam Pomfrey left the infirmary, and a few minutes later Professor Snape came in. "Miss Salazar, it seems you have rather great bad luck here in the wizarding world. You were hit in your back, paralyzing you. This would normally be fine, as we are wizards, and many potions can fix these kinds of things. However, in combination of how long it took before Madam Pomfrey got to you, and other factors, your situation has worsened." My eyes opened wide, I would never be able to walk again with the way he was speaking. "Calm down Miss Salazar, as that will only make things worse. With the permission of the Malfoys," he paused, apparently my face still could make expressions, because I was shocked as to why the Malfoys had permission over me. "The Malfoy family has been appointed to be your guardians until you turn of age. This was settled before school started. Did you not hear? Anyway, the Malfoys have given their permission for you to be sent to St. Mungos, to a rehabilitation section. With their specialties, they should be able to have you walking again before Christmas. Your voice will find itself able to speak one day soon we hope."

I had a thought, what if I couldn't hear? They could just be talking to an empty body. They had too much faith that my ears weren't broken along with my voice and back.

"Miss Salazar, keep in mind, I can hear your thoughts. Magic is a wonderful thing." I rolled my eyes, then Snape left.

I heard another set of footsteps, then saw Fred sit down next to me. "I have to be quick, or Pomfrey will kill me. I hope you'll be okay Star. On other news, Gryffindor might actually have a chance at winning Quidditch. Not that it's a good thing that you can't play, but hey, I'll take everything we can. I'll be sure to visit you every chance I get. George sends his hopes that you'll be better. Flint is suspended from school." I tried to make my face have a questioning look, and Fred started laughing, "Guess you didn't hear. He's the reason you're worse. He tried to pick you up and start carrying you to the infirmary, not something you should do. Pomfrey chewed him out, then suspended him herself for endangering the life of another student." He stood up and kissed my forehead, "Be safe, and get better quickly. I want to be able to see you soon."

When he left, Madam Pomfrey came back in, with two other people I didn't know. The three of them moved the bed I was in, and then I was inside of St. Mungos.

For some unknown amount of time, this would be where I would live. With just the occasional weekend visitors, none of whom knew when I would come home, or if I could walk or not, because I kept this secret from them.

I had gained my ability to talk within 2 weeks of being there, the rest of it took much longer.

I did promise you quidditch didn't I?

Haha. Yeah so Vespera is a danger magnet, just thought you guys should know this.

On other news: I finished the very last chapter of Vespera. I can't WAIT to post it. You guys will HATE me for it though.
