Chapter 4
Snape knocked on the headmasters office-door and heard his well known voice calling for him to come in. He opened the door and stepped inside.
Dumbledore sat as usual behind his desk looking at him while thinking of his problems with his poor students. Snape stepped forward until he was just a few feet in front of him and sat down in one of the chairs.
"You wished to speak with me, Prof. Dumbledore", Snape said shortly.
"Is it about Harry?", Snape continued after a while of silence.
"No, not this time but I would appreciate it if you continued to look after the boy", Dumbledore said and continued "… This time it is about Miss Melody Johnson in your house."
"What about her?", Snape asked.
"Do you think she fits in Slytherin?"
"No, she does seem to be more… good", Snape said.
"Well, you are correct about that. Miss Johnson isn't the typical Slytherin student yet she was placed there", Dumbledore said.
"What? You think the hat misplaced her?", Snape asked, not really believing what he was hearing.
"No, I spoke with the hat and explained the situation and it told me that she had an evil inside of her that it had only felt once before", he explained.
"What evil?"
"I don't know for sure but I have my guesses…"
"What do you think, headmaster?"
"I think it's…"
Melody P.O.V
Melody felt the hard, cold, stone floor beneath her. She opened her eyes and looked around. She saw that she lay on the floor of an empty hallway. She rose to a sitting position and began to wonder about how she got there. She felt sick and had a massive headache. What had happened? How did she get here?
Carefully she got up and walked along the quiet hallway. While she was walking she realized that this was a hallway she didn't recognize. However by looking through the window she could co-ordinate herself. She reached the stairs and saw Hermione walking up the stairs. Hermione looked up and saw Melody on top of the stairs, quickly she walked up to her.
"How are you?", she asked horrified
"What? What are you talking about?", Melody asked, trying to hide the bad feeling she had.
"What happened, Harry said that you was out of your mind?", she asked worried.
"I'm really sorry Hermione but I have no idea what you are talking about", Melody said confused.
"You don't remember?", she asked.
Melody shook her head hesitantly.
Last night
Harry walked through the school, stressed because he really should be getting back to the common room. He had forgotten his cloak of invisibility and the thought of being caught by Filch wasn't all that appealing.
Suddenly he stopped, did someone say his name? He looked around and didn't see anything so he kept on walking, a lot of thing was haunting this old castle. Just when he turned his head back he saw a figure in the end of the corridor. He stopped and looked at it. Within a second the figure began to move towards him but he didn't step back.
The figure kept getting closer and suddenly he saw a pair of glowing green eyes. Really green eyes. The figure stepped into the moonlight and it turned out to be no other than Melody Johnson, the muggleborn from Slytherin. It was her, there was no doubt about that but her eyes. That wasn't her eyes, they were almost like a snake's.
"The boy who lived", she said with a hoarse voice.
That voice didn't seem like hers either. She had never called him "the boy who lived" before. Only the once to mock him did that.
"Melody?", he asked hesitantly. "… Are you okay?"
"You don't know what is yet to come", Melody said trance-like.
"Huh?", he answered completely taken by surprise.
"…And you can do nothing to save him", she said with the same wheezing voice before turning away and just as she got around the corner she collapsed on the ground of the hallway.
"Are you sure you don't remember?", Hermione asked her with a worried tone.
"I don't know what you're talking about… Are you sure you aren't mixing me up with someone else?", Melody answered.
"Of course not!", Hermione exclaimed. "… But", she continued. "Are you sure that you are alright? You look a little pale."
"Yeah… Yeah, I'm fine", Melody answered.
Hermione looked at her with suspicipion but let it go.
"Well, I have to go or otherwise I'll be late. See you later!", she said and left.
Melody looked as Hermione walked away before she started walking through the hallways. What had happened? What was Hermione talking about? Had she really done that? Had she told Harry that someone was going to die? No, she couldn't have!
She was feeling weird and dizzy. She had woken up in an empty hallway, why? How could she know if someone was going to die? Was someone going to die and would it be her fault? Her fault. Everything was so confusing and suddenly she felt the tears threaten to come out.
Snape P.O.V
Snape was walking down the hallway, alone. Finally. He was on his way to his defense against the dark arts-class, annoyed with the Potter boy once again. He turned a corner and found a crying student. From his house, Slytherin. Slytherin's didn't cry. He looked upon the student with disgust. Even though he liked his house-student's more than the others he still didn't approve of them crying in hallways.
"What's all this weeping abou… Melody?", Snape said surprised.
"Oh, professor Snape! I'm so sorry…", she said trying to stop crying.
"What caused this?", he said and the girl suddenly started throw out her whole lifes issues.
"I am so confused! How come I'm in Slytherin? No offence, sir, but both you and I know I'm not exactly a typical Slytherin. Nobody likes me or even bothers to talk to me. All they do is mock me and now all of a sudden I'm sleepwalking and threaten people without knowing it and apparently my eyes change colour during this as well and now things is all twisted up with Draco too!"
She kept on spitting out issues but most of it was already said. Some of what she had said though, did caught Snape's interest. Maybe Dumbledore was right?
Revieeeeeeeeeeew! ;D
