Chapter Fourteen: From A Whisper to a Scream!

Brooke was walking down an dark empty corridor, the halls were strangly empty, she took out her wand and yelled "Lumos!". The corridors suddenly lit up, she notice a person down the hall and slowly began to walk toward them. At the moment the person back was facing her and they were also wearing a hood, Brooke held her wand up higher as she continued to walk to the person.

"Hello?" she said tapping them on the shoulder.

The person pulled down the hood and quickly turned around, it was Colin, she backed up and you could almost see the fear in her eyes. Every step she took back was a step Colin took foward, he didn't look the same, usually he was a happy person but this time his face was grim and pale.

"You killed me!" he said.

"No I didn't," Brooke said with tears coming down her hazel eyes.

"Oh right you just set me up," Colin crossed his arms.

"Colin," Brooke began.

"Save it," Colin waved his hand.

Brooke was knocked onto the the floor painfully, she got back, and began to run in the opposite direction. Brooke ran down the hallway, she looked back and saw no sight of Colin then bumped into something. Colin was standing in front of her grinning, he smacked her causing her lip to bleed. Brooke felt her lip slowly, she put her wand to his throat, Colin began to laugh.

"How can you hurt me when I'm already dead?" Colin waved his hand again.

Brooke flew into a wall and back onto the ground, Colin began to walk towards her, he lifted her up by her collar and threw her into another wall. Brooke was now struggling to get up, the ground beneath her began to shake as a big gapping hole appeared below her. She was holding on to a ledge so she wouldn't fall in to the hole, it was a dark black hole and there was no telling where it ended.

"Seem like a long way down," Colin grinned.

"What your going to push me down?" Brooke said fiercely.

"Isn't that what you sort of did to me?" Colin smiled. "Foolish me, I thought you were my friend."

"Don't--say--that!" Brooke said in a broken voice.

Colin stepped on her fingers, Brooke let go of the ledge with one hand. Colin began to step on the other one, Brooke couldn't hold on anymore. She let go of the ledge completely and began to fall down the hole.

Brooke woke up, 'It was just a dream.' she thought. She walked to the bathroom, it had been three weeks since Colin died and she haven't been dealing with his death so well. Brooke looked in to mirror, she saw that her lower lip was bleeding, she began to get worried and rolled up her sleeves. She found all kinds of cuts and bruises on her arms, she continued to get ready for class and wore long sleeves to cover up her bruises.

The first class that she had today was Animagus Pratice, she went into the classroom to find Professor McGonagall standing at the front of classroom. Apparently she was late because everyone was already in class, she took her seat next to Ginny.

"Now that Ms. Davis had finally showed up maybe we can start the class," Professor McGonagall said. "Animagus, each one of you will be able to transform into an Animagus, some may take longers than others to transform but you will turn into a creature."

"Usually a person turns into the animal they feel that they are most alike," she continued. "Based on your personality that is how you will be classified as a specific animal. I want you to all imagine what animal are you most like, and feel it, feel it course through your body. Ms. Granger, come up front."

Hermione nervously approached the front of the classroom, she stood in front of her Professor waiting for further instructions.

"Have you thought about the animal you choose?"

Hermione nodded her head.

"Now close your eyes, think about the features of that animal and how the transformation from your body into the animal will occur."

Hermione closed her eyes, she didn't know what to expect, she felt as if she been standing in front of the classroom for hours. She felt arms fall to the ground as it began to transform, she notice that she had just turn into the creature she thought of. Luna gazed at Hermione's Animagus form dreamily, she went over to Hermione and began to pet her.

"Hermione your beautiful," Luna in a soft voice. "Your the most beautiful unicorn I've ever seen."

Hermione turned back into her true form, she smiled and took her seat, she got it on the first try as everyone expected.

"Luna would you like to be next?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Yes Professor," Luna nodded.

Luna closed her eyes, she was there for about ten minutes, nothing had happened.

"Well we can't all get it on the first try," McGonagall reassured Luna. "Ms. Davis will you do the honors of being next?"

Brooke stood up and went to the front of the class, she stood in middle and closed her eyes. She didn't know why but she felt like she had been there for hours, when she opened her eyes she notice that she was above Professor McGonagall head who was obviously in a shock state. Brooke transformed back into her true form and looked around at the class, Ginny was smiling at Brooke.

"What am I?" she asked nervously.

"A Dark Phoenix," Professor McGonagall smiled.

"Is that a good thing?" Brooke asked shocked.

"Usually no," Professor McGonagall said. "But for you, yes!"

"I don't understand," Brooke said.

"Of course you understand you killed him," Brooke heard her say.

"What?" Brooke said.

"I said because your are the Heir of Slytherin your going to be entitled with some dark powers but it's okay." Professor McGonagall explained. "It depends on how you use your magic that makes you evil."

"Okay," Brooke nodded her head.

The rest of the lesson was not succesful, Hermione and Brooke were the only two who were able to transform so far. The day went on the same way all day, Hermione and Brooke seem to be the only two who were succesful at everything the did. The others couldn't concentrate dealing with the death of Colin Creevy, but they couldn't understand why Hermione and Brooke weren't effected by it either.

Harry and Hermione were in the Common Room with Ginny, Luna and Ron. Brooke was in her room, she was in the bathroom, she looked at the mirror but did not see her own reflection but Colin's.

"I thought you were my friend," he grinned.

Brooke broke the mirror, the shards feel into the sink. Brooke looked at herself in one of the shards she held it up to her face, she didn't recognize the person in it. It was her but she change from when she was a child, she went from being so cute and innocent to beautiful and evil. She place the shard back into the sink, she pulled out a smaller shard.

In the Common Room, Ron was ganging up on Hermione about not caring about Colin.

"Because my magic isn't acting up you think that I don't care about Colin," Hermione yelled. "Colin was one of my friends, he meant a lot to me too but I can't help if I am not affected by it magic wise."

"You didn't care for him you thought he was weak!" Ron bellowed out.

"Exactly Ron," Hermione said. "I didn't like him because he was weaker then me, your so full of yourself!"

"So why aren't you and Brooke affected?"

"Who said we aren't!" Hermione shrieked.

"Where is Brooke by the way?" Harry asked.

"She been in her room for a long time," Ginny said. "We better check on her."

The five got up and walked to Brooke's room, Ginny knocked on the door before opening it. No one answered the door so she decide to open it, Brooke wasn't inside her room so the figured she be in the bathroom, Ginny, Hermione and Luna walked into the bathroom where the shower curtains was pulled back and the shower was running.

"You two wait there!" Ginny smiled.

"Brooke are you decent?" Hermione asked.

They heard no reply from Brooke, Ginny pulled back the shower curtain and looked down. Brooke was fully clothes looking up at them, there was a piece of shatter glass next to her.

"Brooke!" Ginny said noticing the gash in her arm.

Hermione grabbed a towel and placed it on Brooke's arm as Luna turned the water off, Harry and Ron walked into the room covering their eyes laughing.

"Is she clothes?" Harry asked.

"We have to get her to the Hospital Wing!" Hermione said.

"Why?" Harry asked uncovering his eyes.

He saw Brooke's blood spilling down from her arm and most of it was in the tub, Harry lifted Brooke out the tub and rushed her to the Hospital Wing. Madam Pomfrey saw Brooke's slightly slipping into unconsciousness, Harry layed Brooke on a bed. Madam Promfrey began to wrap a bandage around Brooke's arm and gave her something to drink.

"Mr. Potter and friends come back in a few hours," Madam Pomfrey said. "She going to get some rest."

Harry and the group nodded and waited in the Heir's Common Room, Ginny was crying, first one of her old friend dies and now her own bestfriend tries to kill herself. Hermione was comforting Ginny but couldn't help but cry either, Luna was resting on Ron's shoulder.

"Why would she do that?" Ginny asked.

"You'll have to ask her," Hermione wiped her tears with her sleeve.

"I mean this Colin thing must have really affected her," Harry said. "Do you think Brooke may have liked Colin?"

"There a possibility," Ginny said. "She used to talk about him and they did kiss once."

"They did?" Harry, Hermione, Ron and Luna said in unision.

"Yes, they did." Ginny said. "You think it will be okay if we go now?"

"Well it already been three hours." Harry said.

"Let's go," Hermione smiled.

They went to Hospital Wing hoping to find that Brooke was awake, she was, Ginny took a seat next to her bed.

"Why?" Ginny asked.

"It was getting to be to much," Brooke said. "I don't like the person I was becoming, this Dark Magic it is effecting me. I don't even know who I am anymore, I don't want to be the Heir of Slytherin. It's not a blessing it's a curse."

"Brooke you were chosen out of many wizards and witches to be an Heir," Ginny said. "I believe that is a blessing you are the greatest person I know and you don't have one evil bone in your body. How did you get all these bruises?"

"I don't know?" Brooke lied.

"Brooke you know if you ever have a problem were going to be here for you." Hermione said.

"All of us." Harry said.

They all hugged Brooke one by one, they couldn't believe she thought her only way out of this was by taking her own life. They were going to have to watch her carefully now so she wouldn't pull another stunt like this again.

"Was this a cry for help?" Luna asked suddenly.

"More like a scream." Brooke said touching her bandage.
