A/N: New chapter time! I am very disappointed by the lack of reviews. Only one person reviewed! I need way more reviews this time around. And I changed the stuff in the A/N last chapter. If you read it before I changed it, please disregard it. Hope you like the new chapter.

The first thing Rose saw when her eyes fluttered open was everyone (Scorpius, El, Al, and her entire Quidditch team) crowded around her bed. She closed her eyes again with the intention of going back to sleep. Then it her. She was in the hospital wing.

Her eyes snapped open. She briefly noticed the relief on everyone's face but she moved on to more important things. She turned her head to the left and found Scorpius's eyes.

"Wha…what… happened?" Rose found it was hard to speak. All she wanted to do was go to sleep. But she wasn't going to give in till she got some answers.

"You fell off your broom, Rose." Scorpius said quietly. "We were afraid you weren't going to make it."

"You shouldn't have worried. Madam Pomfrey can heal anything." Rose said.

"Rose, you fell quite a way. Even Madam Pomfrey said she was worried." Al put in. He was very worried about his favorite cousin even though there was no way he was going to say it out right.

"Yeah, if you hadn't landed in the muddy part, she said you might have gotten brain damage." El said without realizing the effect it might have on Rose. Scorpius glared at El when Rose gulped. "Well, you did land in the mud and you don't have brain damage, so it doesn't matter." El said as she tried to fix her mistake.

"So what happened after I fell? The last thing I remember is Scorpius grabbing the snitch… Wait, did we lose the match?" She asked her teammates.

"Yeah. We were winning but you're friend Scorpius here had to catch the snitch." Lisa said glaring at the blond Ravenclaw.

Scorpius laughed nervously and put his arm behind his head. "Uh…yeah…about that…sorry. I was just playing the game."

Rose sighed. "It's okay Scorpius. We'll just beat you next time. And now we know that you're the only good player on that team. We have seven good players." She smiled toward the end. "So what happened after I fell? I kinda got sidetracked before."

"Well, everyone was screaming and freaking out. Thankfully, McGonagall and some of the other teachers remained sane and ran down to the pitch to help you. And somehow, all of you other friends," Lisa informed her, gesturing to El, Al, and Scorpius, "beat the teachers there. They were already carrying you to the hospital wing when the teachers ran into them. Some of them went with you the hospital wing. The others went to help McGonagall calm everyone down."

"Thanks guys." Rose said, touched that everyone had cared that much about her. Lisa smiled then looked at the clock.

"Sorry Rose, I have to go. I have homework to do." Lisa ran off. After Lisa left, the rest of the Hufflepuff team left one by one until only El, Al, and Scorpius were still there with Rose.

"So why do you think I fell off the broom?" Rose asked. She didn't know why, but she hadn't wanted to bring the subject up with Lisa and the others around.

"I don't really know. But I saw something hit you. It looked like a stunning spell." Scorpius said quietly. He looked around nervously. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling he shouldn't let anyone else find out about it.

"You think someone stunned her?" Al asked, also whispering.

"What else could it be?" Scorpius asked back.

"I dunno. But who stunned her?" Al said.

"Where direction did the spell come from Scorpius?" El asked.

He thought for a minute. "I think it came from the left."

"But the only stand to the left of where we were is the…" Rose trailed off unable to say it.

"…Professor stand." Scorpius finished. The four children exchanged worried, nervous, and even scared looks.

"So if it was a spell…" Al started.

"Which it was." Scorpius interrupted. Al glared at him then continued.

"Then it came from the professor stand. So it had to be someone sitting there. Which means it had to be a teacher."

"Really? I totally didn't see that." El said sarcastically

"So you think a professor did this to me?" Rose asked. She didn't want to believe it. To live at a school where you couldn't trust the teachers was truly frightening.

"There's no other explanation." Scorpius said.

"Well, if it was a teacher, which one?" El asked.

All she received was silence and worried looks.

It was well past midnight in the forbidden forest. Although much had changed at Hogwarts, the forest was still a dark and dangerous place. If you went in there of your own free will after dark, you had to be up to no good.

That held true with the mysterious cloaked in black figure running through the night. The person was looking around frantically as if searching for something.

Whatever it was, he seemed to be relieved when he stumbled his way into a small clearing. Bu his relief did not last long.

For in the clearing there was another man cloaked black, a taller man with a condescending air about him. The taller man was obviously waiting for the other man.

"About time you got here." The tall man's cold voice was full of displeasure.

"I'm sorry, master. I ran into one of those horrendous creatures the half-breed oaf likes to keep here." The man bowed down so low to the ground that it was amazing he didn't fall flat on his face.

"So have you done what I had asked you to do?" The tall man questioned.

"Yes, master. I sent a stunning spell at the Hufflepuff team's keeper." The man's tone was gloating then it turned bitter. "Yet unfortunately the little mudblood's brat survived with only minimal damage."

The tall man was not listening. He had stopped when the other man said 'Hufflepuff'. "What do you mean Hufflepuff? I told you to harm the Ravenclaw team!"

"Yes, but sir" The shorter man shuffled his feet nervously, "Scorpius Malfoy is on the Ravenclaw team. I did not think you'd want him harmed."

"What! What do you mean 'Scorpius Malfoy is on the Ravenclaw team'?" h tall man was livid with rage. "He's a Malfoy! He's in Slytherin!"

"You didn't know?" the short man said incredulously. "He was sorted into Ravenclaw nearly two months ago!" But this was the wrong thing to say as the tall man got even more livid. If that was even possible. He muttered something undecipherable and appartated on the spot.

"What in the name of Merlin was that?" The short man yelled to the trees. Then he walked away cursing.

Me: No!

*I run over and put hand over his mouth then whisper to him*

Al: So who are they Scorp?

Scorpius: Sorry can't tell you guys.

Rose: Why not?

Scorpius: Rena said she'd drop me out of Ravenclaw tower if I did.

El: she can't do that!
