I'm not gonna lie, this chapter might be kinda boring, but it had to be that way because if you look closely, there are TONS of answers in it.

I'm not going to be able to update for a while, because I'm going away on Staurday and not able to take my laptop with me. Sorry! :P On the bright side, school is OUT so updates will be more frequent when I get back! :)

Sorry if the trivia question was unclear, I meant one of the character's names is reflected in a mirror. Sorry! I'm not going to do a trivia question this chapter because I won't be updating for a while, so I'll probably forget :P

This chapter goes out to my BFFF nabian8735 cause she is AWESOME! x3 :) and to my bestest friend in the entire world-Caroline! I already miss you :'(

PLEASE REVIEW! Thanks! :)

Fabian's POV

"What's going on? What happened to Nina?" I demanded of Snape, Dumbledore and Rufus.

"Out of my way, Rutter." spat Snape. "These two need to be taken to the hospital wong immediately."

He swept away with Dumbledore and Rufus. I started to follow them, panic engulfing me. What had happened to them out there?

"Okay, but why? What happened?" I asked again.

"That is none of your concern." Snape snarled. "Get away or I'll give you a months worth of detention. "

I stopped walking and watched them go down the rest of the hallway, becoming more panicky than ever. I wanted to grab Snape by the collar and force him to tell me what happened.

"Fabian! Did they say what was wrong?" Mara asked, she and Harry jogging to catch up with me.

Wordlessly, I shook my head and began pacing the hall.

"Well, I know a way that we can find out." said Harry mischieviously. "Follow me."

Ten minutes later, Harry and I were on our way to the hospital wing under Harry's invisibility cloak. I was wound up tighter than a rubber band, worrying about Nina. And Amber. But mostly Nina.

Anyway, when we arrived at the hospital wing, thankfully they had left the door open. We crept in, trying hard not to let our feet slam on the floor.

Dumbledore, Snape, and Rufus were all standing in the center of the room, whispering to each other. Madam Pomfrey was standing over a bed, tending a patient that I realized was Nina.

It took all of my willpower not to run over to see what was the matter with her. She was still unconscious, and had scratches and other marks all over her arms and face. I would KILL the person that gave her those...

Suddenly, McGonagal burst into the room.

"What happened?" she asked, looking over at Nina and Amber laying in the beds. "I heard-"

"Rodenmaar has been here." said Dumbledore. "He attacked these two when they went out on to the grounds. If Professor Snape and Professor Zeno had not been walking by, he probably would have done worse damage that what he did."

"But...why?" McGonagal asked, looking frightened.

"Why were they outside? I haven't the slightest idea." said Dumbledore. "Perhaps they needed some air. Why Rodenmaar attacked them? I have a few ideas, none of them pleasant."

"But Rodenmaar...he isn't-he isn't still..." McGonagal faltered. "...Is he?"

Dumbledore inclined his head slightly and Mcgonagal gasped.

"Shall we patrol the gorunds? Look for him, and make sure no students are out?" Snape asked.

"That would be great, Severus. And you two, Professor Zeno." said Dumbledore said, and Snape and Rufus left the room.

"Shall I go ask the girls' friends why they were outside?" McGonagal asked. Dumbledore nodded and she hurried out.

Dumbledore just stood there for a moment, but when Madam Pomfrey bustled into the other room, he spoke.

"I know you are there, Mr. Potter and Mr. Rutter." said Dumbledore, looking directly at us. "Would you be kind enough to take off that fascinating cloak?"

I gulped, but we took off the cloak. Dumbledore did not look angry, but I was still a bit nervous. Would we get in trouble for eavesdropping?

"You are not in trouble." said Dumbledore, as if reading my mind. "I understand you were just worried about your friends...and sister."

"Will they be okay?" I asked, glancing over at Nina.

Dumbledore nodded, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

"I must ask you...why did they go out there in the first place?" Dumbledore asked.

"Well, Amber got this note from someone asking to be her date." said Harry.

"And it said to meet whoever it was behind Hagrid's hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest at midnight." I said.

" And they did what the note said?"

"Yeah, well, Amber's not the brightest person." I paused. "But it's also partially my fault. I let them go. I should've stopped them, or gone with them. Nina and I knew someting like this would happen, that's why she went with Amber."

"But why did-this man- want to attack them in the first place?" Harry asked.

"I have many guesses. But I am not sure if any of them are correct." said Dumbledore. "Now I suggest you two hurry back to the ball, as it is almost over."

Dumbledore left the room. Harry and I started to follow, but at the last second I changed my mind.

"I'll meet you down there." I said. Harry nodded and left.

I walked over to Nina's bed. Closer up, all of her cuts and bruises looked so much worse. I winced as I saw them all, and vowed to hurt the person that had done this to her.

I took her hand. "Nina, please wake up." I whispered. I leaned down, and gently kissed her on the forhead.

I woke up the next morning-actually afternoon, nobody woke up until after lunch- hoping that everything that had happened since Nina and I had kissed had been a horrible nightmare.

But I had no such luck. When I went down into the common room, everybody that had heard what had happened last night was giving me sympathetic looks. I went over to sit with Ron, Harry, Hermione and Mara.

"So...any news on Nina and Amber?" I asked.

Mara shook her head. "No. Hermione went to check earlier and they were still out cold."

"Sorry mate." said Ron sympathetically. Next to him, Hermione nodded.

I eyed the pair of them, remembering that they had kissed last night. They seemed to be acting normal, they were sitting a bit closer than usual, but thats it.

"So, whats going on with you two?" I asked Ron and Hermione, abruptly changing the subject.

The both blushed. "What-what do you- what are you talking about?" Hermione stuttered.

"You know, after last night." said Mara.

"Erm...not sure." said Ron, glancing at Hermione. "What about you and Nina? I heard you asked her out last night."

"Yeah, well, now she's knocked out so I don't know either." I replied.

The rest of the day went by extremely slowly, and I just sat around in the common room for most of it. Ron tried to get me to go down to dinner with them, but I wasn't hungry.

Finally, I decided to take a walk to the hospital wing to visit Nina, even if she wasn't awake. Ron, Mara, Hermione, Harry came with me.

When we walked in to the hospital wing, I shouted with delight.

"Nina! You're awake!" I said, running over to her. She was sitting up in her bed, propped up on some pillows. I hugged her, so glad that she was alive.

When we broke apart, she grinned at me. "Hey Fabian!"

"Hellloooo! I'm alive too!" I heard a voice say from the next bed over. I spun around and saw Amber awake as well.

I laughed. "Hey Ambs."

"Nina, Amber! I was SO worried!" cried Hermione, them both a hug and making Nina wince.

"How do you feel?" I asked Nina, sitting on the edge of her bed.

"Like I was hit by a bus."

I winced sympathetically.

"I woke up about an hour ago. And Fabian-" she paused. "There's something you should know."

"What is it?"

She sighed. "I remember absolutely nothing about last night... Including the ball."

See the blue button down there? No, not that one. Yeah, that one! The one that says review-Press it! Please?
