We went back to Hogwarts on January 3rd.
"Welcome back to Hogwarts. I hope you enjoyed your vacation." Professor Dumbledore said.
He glared at me. Caius noticed it and glared at him. Albus lowered his head. After dinner, we went down to our room. Demetri and Hermione were already there.
"We have to do something about the headmaster. He's getting on my nerves." Caius said.
"Let me look in the book. I will let you know. By the way, the next full moon is on Monday."
I inwardly groaned. Aro heard it and squeezed my shoulders.
"We'll be with you the whole time."
I leaned my head against his shoulder and fell asleep. Carlisle and the others came in.
"How is she?" Dad asked.
"She fell asleep. She was exhausted."
Professor Dumbledore came in.
"Why aren't you in your dormitory?"
"You know fully well that they have a room in my quarters. What do you want?" Uncle Sev asked.
"I want to speak with Trixie."
"As you can see, she is asleep. Now if you don't mind, I have a potion to attend to."
Albus left the room. Uncle Sev sat down.
"What about the potion?" Marcus asked.
"What potion?"
Caius chuckled. I turned over in my sleep and smiled. That made the brothers smile. But then I had a pained expression on my face.
"Mi amore?"
I was tossing and turning.
"It's Belladonna." Uncle Sev said while running over.
"Can we do anything?"
"No. She's fighting her off. Only she can do it."
Five minutes later, I woke up. I was still exhausted.
"Ugh. My head."
"Why don't you take this potion and get some rest?" Uncle Sev suggested.
So I did. Aro stroked my hair.
"She shouldn't have to go through this pain. She's just a child."
"I know Aro. We're doing everything we can right now."
"I wish we could do more."
"We all do. But let's take this one step at a time. Let's deal with the headmaster first."
"Do you have an idea?" Caius asked.
"I do. But it's not going to be easy."
"What is it?"
"Something that might expose him for what he really is: unfit to teach students."
"Then let's do it. We're willing to do anything when it comes to the safety of our mate."
Uncle Sev started laying out plans with them. But then a Slytherin ran into the room.
"Professor, there's a fight in the common room!"
He sighed. He got up and walked to the fireplace.
"What is going on in here?"
"Pansy was trying to make Draco date her again. I think Draco's hurt."
Uncle Sev ran over to Draco. He woke up.
"Are you all right?"
"A bit sore. But other than that, I am fine."
"Take this headache reliever and get some rest. If you still hurt in the morning, I will excuse you from class. Ms. Parkinson, you will have detention with me tomorrow night at 8pm sharp. Don't be late."
"But professor-"
"No buts. Now, everyone, go to bed. Anyone else causes a ruckus and they will be joining Ms. Parkinson in detention. Now move!"
They ran down the stairs.
