like Michael Scott I knew exactly where I was going with this but, in a more real sense I had no idea haha. I'm hoping you guys like it! I also do not own Harry potter.

I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me
I move through town, I'm quiet like a fire
And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie it

And our people talk to me, but nothing ever hits
So people talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes – Yellow Flicker Beat- Lorde

"Dear Visenya,

I got your letter, I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. We decided to move, and so we've been dealing with all that. I've spoken to Dumbledore and he will talk to you about those flashes. You are seeing things that have yet to come much like future seeing yes, the woman is someone I use to know. You will come home for Christmas break and I'll try to explain to you what I can. I'm proud of you Ravenclaw is a great house! I love you so much and I just can't wait to have you home.

Love, mom and dad"

I pocketed mom's letter, and continued eating breakfast. It had been almost a month, I had sent her three letters after the first. She finally answers today, when did we decide to move too? oh, well it'll be fine we've moved a lot for as long as I can remember we didn't stay in one place for more than two years. I was pouring myself more juice, the Hall was much quieter on the weekends it was Saturday morning and I had gotten up early to finish a paper due in a few weeks. Before we left for break there was going to be a trip to Hogsmeade, I hadn't been able to go to the one before Halloween because, Cho had mentioned Wood was going to be there and I didn't want to see him.

Pushing my plate away I made for the Head Masters office where I had been going the last three weeks 5 days a week. He was in his office talking to someone, I paused by the door to listen "the attacks are getting worse sir." That was Snape, I recognized his sneer anywhere "Snape is correct Dumbledore, we have to think of the children." McGonagall's voice wavered slightly.

"has miss Black… seen anything more?" there was some shuffling "the girl, shows promise but, I am of no expert in this field." It was true Snape had been put in charge of my education, something about reaching farther into my mind but, that was a big flop. "it doesn't matter, Severus continue to work with her but, I'm afraid we're running out of time."

I decided to announce my presence, but Snape's voice stopped me "should you not tell the girl her life is in danger?" I heard McGonagall scoff "as if she doesn't already know Severus!"

He said slowly "well, if not she is certainly aware now, you can come in miss Black" I walked in unashamed, McGonagall looked at me as though, I shouldn't be eavesdropping but, no one wants to tell me the truth so, I have to resort to such things.

Dumbledore didn't tell me anything I wanted so desperately needed to know, and I get the feeling he had spoken to the portrait too for when I had gone back to speak with her she wasn't there. They suspended my lessons for right now, Dumbledore wanted to bring in someone else who had expertise in whatever this area was.

As I made my way downstairs, someone called after me "Visenya!" I turned around and waited, Cedric was making his way downstairs in his Quidditch uniform. "all geared up?" I asked him, he only smirked in response.

"yes, I am all geared up and where are you heading to Belle?" I shoved him slightly, he had started calling me Belle after every time he would run into me I would have my nose stuck in a book. We walked down the stairs together "the library got a new shipment of books and well, I plan on reading by the lake." I blushed slightly because, he didn't look the least bit surprised. Cedric and I had been hanging out more, for whatever reason I didn't know. He was one of the few people who defended me when other had been distrustful of me and for that, he had my trust.

He got quiet after a while, rubbing his neck "you should come to practice, just to watch you can sit in the stands and read the moment it gets boring." He begged and pleaded until I conceded, we made our way to the Quidditch pitch, and he headed off to get his gear. He must've forgot something because, it looked like he had everything on.

I made my way towards the stands and took a seat. I decided to read until Cedric's team made it out onto the field. I was reading the Founder's History, I was on the first chapter which was about the sorting hat. I was consumed in my book so, I didn't notice when the team in the sky saw me. Katie flew right up to me and took my book from me. I reached for it but, she pulled away she gave it to Alicia who flipped through the pages "oh! I love this book!" I reached for it again "yes, I would like to begin it, thank you" the flew out of arms reach though.

Katie was hanging upside down "are you here to speak to Oliver?" Keeping my face impassive as possible "no, I have no plans to speak to Wood." They both looked at each other

"ooh not even calling him by his first name huh?" Alicia teased, as Katie flipped herself upright again. The she scrunched up her face "are you waiting for us?"

Now, it was my turn to look confused "no, I'm watching Cedric practice, he practically begged me to come." They smirked at each other "okay, well, here's your book." Reaching my hand for it Alicia pulled back and handed it to Katie.

Grinning wickedly from ear to ear they flew farther from me "you know what, it's a great day for exercise!" They flew lower to the ground away from me.

I walked down from the stands and approached them, I stretched my hand out "my book please?" Katie seemed to think about it "nah." And she sped off on her broom around the pitch, I would not chase them, I would wait patiently. After a few minutes of this though my patients was deteriorating, it was then Alicia flew closer to me with my book, they stayed lowed enough so, if I put in the effort I could catch them easily.

Running after them proved easier said than done. I was running past the entrance towards their locker rooms when Alicia flew one way and Katie flew the other, Katie swooped around and tossed my book into someone's hands "catch" and went into the locker room on her broom, as did Alicia. I turned half expecting to see Fred or George but, no it had to be Wood.

He held my book sheepishly, I wouldn't meet his eyes. Clearing his throat "um, this belongs to you." I grabbed my book from him, and turned to leave. Not letting me get a few feet though "wait, please talk to me obviously that's why you're here" I laughed bitterly, "that's hardly the reason I'm here Wood. I'm here to watch Cedric practice he asked me to come."

Wood smiled and coughed to try and hide the fact he was smiling. I glared at him "what?" I snapped, he looked anywhere but my eyes. Clearing his throat again "um, the Hufflepuffs don't practice today."

My cheeks burned, and I could feel my anger rising. I pushed past him to leave, but he caught me by my wrist again and pulled my waist. And for a moment I forgot I was angry at him but, then I remembered. And tried to pull away "Visenya please, I'm sorry. I should have said something." Being this close to him, I couldn't help but to feel weak in my legs. I could almost hear the blood rushing in my ears, and I felt my heart doing cartwheels in my chest.

He didn't know me; how could I just expect him to just trust me right away. I stopped fighting and sighed "Loo-" "Wood, let's go." Anna had made her way towards the entrance and was shooting daggers at me. He let go of me immediately, and stepped back. That was it, I would not be some toy.

She opened her mouth as to speak but, I didn't give her a chance "shut your mouth, for talking a lot of shit about me, you sure don't watch what you say." She wrinkled her nose "and just why should I? I walked up to her aware of Wood moving closer to me "because, you have no idea what I am capable of, and stupidly you just realized that." I noticed the rest of the team coming up so, I got close enough to whisper in her ear "and you don't know the things my family taught me to do to my enemies so, keep running your mouth." With that I pushed her with my shoulder and walked away. I yelled back to either my friends or Wood "you coming or not?" either way I heard footsteps following so, I didn't care. I had made my way to the lake when someone pulled on my wrist and was disappointed to see it was Katie. She looked shocked and amazed all at once.

I crossed my arms over my chest waiting for her to speak. Finally, "so, what the heck was that?" I shrugged and found myself staring at the lake, I hear you can't swim in it. I sat down and put my arms over my legs "I just lost my cool, she interrupted-" I stopped I didn't know what that was with Oliver but, it wouldn't happen again.

Whoever that slimy little toad was she meant something to Wood. Katie sat down by me "Anna Travone is Alex Travones daughter he owns the Puddlemere United Reserve which is a Quidditch team. Oliver's always dreamed of being on the team and his daughter fancies Oliver." I turned to her in disbelief, what a, a pathetic excuse for a boy. Katie's face told me she regretted saying anything, I decided not to be angry just get over it.

I got up and extended my hand to help her up, I couldn't understand Quidditch but, who cares to each their own. We got up and made our way to the castle I made for my dorm but, forgot I had dropped my book when Wood grabbed me. I raced down the steps and out of the castle I made it to the doors when I saw Wood and he had my book. He walked towards me slowly "you dropped this out there." I didn't smile nor glare at him I just reached for my book and tried to ignore the pains I was getting in my chest. I took my book "thanks" we stayed right there not saying anything. I decided to break the silence "I'll see you around" and I ran up the stairs. What I didn't know was he stood there watching me leave.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I was stabbing my meat unaware of Casimir looking at me worriedly, today Wood and his toad made it official they were an item. I did my best to remain calm why did it matter so much? He was just an acquaintance, we were never really friends.

Ros had joined us "hey… Visenya, I know you're upset but, that meat did nothing wrong to you." I snapped out of it "upset? I'm not upset. Why would I be upset?" Casimir and Ros glanced at each other sideways, I sighed and pushed my plate away and made to leave.

Cas Protested "you've hardly ate." I just grumbled "homework" in response. Casimir and Ros had decided to follow me taking a heaping plate of food with them. We made our way to the common room and I cracked open my book. I had finished the founders book, it was okay. I picked up a random book off the shelf never really looking at it but, for some reason I couldn't read. Finally, I gave up. Ros looked up from her parchment "are you okay? Is something on your mind?" Cas laughed without looking up from his work "more like someone" I glared at him which only made him laugh more.

There was something wrong with me. This was becoming my life and that's not who I am. Pushing him from my mind, I went to work on 3 papers. By the end of the night I had all of them done. Ros had gone to bed shortly after Cho came up, which left me with Cas but, we didn't talk much. I made my way for bed, I decided a nice shower might help but, got out after hearing some strange noises. After what happened to Mrs. Norris and that Creevey kid I didn't want to end up like that.

I closed my eyes and heard a noise, I looked up but instead of seeing Cho and Ros sleeping I found myself in a strange bed, and I was clutching my forehead. I turned and could see a patch of red hair in the covers in the next bed. As quickly as it came it was gone, I tried to close my eyes again and nothing happened.

The next morning, I curled my eyelashes and put on some mascara, and I applied some Chapstick to my lips. I had braided my hair the night before so, it came out in nice waves. I was so excited in ancient runes I would get to do my presentation; Cas and I had been working so hard on it for the past week. It was a study on some ancient runes, that Wizards and Witches had used once before. They used to draw magic, we would give a report and demonstration in class.

"and so, runes that were symbols or words were written once to produce magic before the idea of using our wands to make magic happen. We can't duplicate the magic now but, there are few witches and wizards left in the world that are still able to. Now, it was very simple one rune we found for fire we thought we would show you since it is also the easiest to draw." I earned a lot of laughs with that one, I took the parchment paper from Cho sitting in the front and made my way to the center. And with my wand I drew a simple S with a line through it horizontally, my wand had barely left the paper when suddenly the paper went up in flames.

I could hear cries from everyone the professor came forward, I dropped the paper and she rushed forward saying a quick spell. The fire was out, the fire had touched my hands, yet it didn't burn, the professor grabbed my hand. I couldn't move, I glanced up at the class and they all stared at me petrified at what I had done. they were all back against the wall. I pulled my hand from the professor and ran from the class. I thought I had heard someone call after me but, I couldn't face them.

I ran to the only person I felt I could trust and luckily he had a free period right now. bursting into his classroom without knocking was a deadly move but, I had no other choice. Behind his desk sat professor Snape and he looked annoyed by my intrusion "Miss Blackmight I remind you, you are a student and you knock before entering my classroom." I was trying not to cry, I trusted Snape more than any other professor here, he wouldn't lie to me. I rushed up to his desk and I felt him invading my mind, he stood up from his desk, bewildered he approached me slowly.

Not wanting him to look at me like everyone else did, I finally broke out "please just please tell me what's happening to me Snape." He seemed to be thinking, and gestured for me to sit down while he went and grabbed something from his potions closet. I was shaking so bad, I couldn't see my hands clearly. He resurfaced and came over to me handling me a small vial, "here, drink this." I took it from his hands not bothering to question its contents. I poured it down my throat and slowly felt a calm come over me, I took a deep breath. "please, don't lie to me, either you tell me the truth, or I will find it on my own."

He met my eyes, deciding he sat behind his desk. "I have to theories as to what this is, either you are one of the few who can do magic as they did before verbal spells, or you created a new spell. Quite honestly it appears both." I shook my head before he could continue "no, that rune we got from a book. I can't make spells." He left his desk and crossed the room to his bookshelf, he pulled a rather heavy book and came towards me. "these are the old runes, what I saw you draw I have never seen before."

That wasn't possible, Casimir and I had found it in an old book, to prove it, I took him to the library. I pulled the book from the shelf and flipped through the pages, he put his fingers on a page I had gone past. Opening it, you could see the symbol written all over the two pages in ink. He looked at me questioningly, I stepped back from him and continued to back away. No, no I pulled this from the book, finding the rune was my job. I couldn't remember though, I couldn't remember finding it though. He put the book in his robes, and strode towards me "it's time for us to go see the Headmaster." It was then Flitwick came in too, he strode towards me "are you alright? I heard something happened in Ancient Runes?" I didn't know what to say, thankfully Snape did. "yes, I'm taking her to the Headmaster right now, please join us." We made the trek to Dumbledore's office.

Dumbledore was not at his desk but, a strange man. Snape pushed me behind him, "to whom are we speaking to?" I don't even remember the guys name, he was so boring, I know he was a ministry official though. Dumbledore strode into sight then, "well, then as you can see I have matters to attend to. Good day to you Fudge." The man left without so much as a backward glance.

The Headmaster looked at me over his spectacles "your teacher has reached some delays, she won't be here until some time after the new year." Snape had moved from in front of me, he had gone and whispered in Dumbledore's ear.

His face didn't seem to change, he did clear his throat "Flitwick, Miss Black is safe with us now. I'll see to it she's escorted back to your care after we get done speaking." Professor seemed torn, I was his student but, he also trusted Dumbledore he had squeaked something incomprehensible out and left.

There wasn't much for me to do, I stood there while Dumbledore and Snape spoke. I decided to speak "sirs, if there is talk about me perhaps, I should hear it too." it was then Dumbledore decided to address me. "we don't know what this is, what we do know is that it can manifest. You can be trained and if it hasn't already gotten out it will, and the Dark Lord would move the stars to get it." Wonderful another strike against me, I have something else to put me and my family in danger.

"so, what are our options?" I whispered "obviously I am in some danger what do I do? No, what do you want me to do?" Snape only leaned against one of the walls but, it was Dumbledore who spoke "we train you to use your gifts. If we don't Voldermort will and it won't be as pleasant." I wasn't satisfied with his answer, I didn't want this, I didn't want any of this. "I understand but, we can use this Visenya. The things you could do, the lives you just might help save."

I nodded, and got up from the seat "I want my family kept safe, you promise me Dumbledore. You protect them." He got up to meet me "I will protect your family."
