I sat on the roof and looked up at the stars which were twinkling brightly. The water reflected it back in perfect symmetry. I watched the two of them run into the woods, I jumped from the roof and into the nearest tree. I was going to watch them to make sure they would stay safe. I sprung from tree to tree keeping a close eye on the pair of lovebirds. They stopped in a clearing and sat down to look at the stars. I wished my head from side to side, surveying the land. On first inspection, everything seemed fine. However, as I looked more thoroughly, I saw a pair of gleaming green eyes staring at them through some shrubs. I stood on edge and watched the two of them closely. The creature was staying away for now. After a short while, Jean and Draco fell asleep in each others arms. The creature crept forward revealing its beige coat and large raptor like claws. It was a large mountain lion, it slowly snuck up on the sleeping pair. I launched myself at it with a large thud. I scratched at my chest and arms with its large claws, cutting deep into my arms. I grabbed it by the neck and peirce its skin with my large teeth, killing it in one blow. It hung limp in my bleeding arms. I slung it over my shoulder and gently grabbed the two lovebirds in my arms. I walked back to the cabin, completely relieved that they were safe. I guess swimming had tired them out enough, so I nudged open their room door and placed them on the bed. I closed the door and snagged up the roll of bandages. I wrapped up my arms as I walked out into the night. I was going to make a nice rug out of the fur.

I woke up the next day feeling Draco's arms around me. I opened my eyes to find me in our room. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I felt Draco sit up right next to me. "Morning" He muttered, giving me a sloppy kiss on my cheek. "Didn't we fall asleep in the forest?" I muttered, my voice slightly deeper and scratchy because of sleep. "Yeah," he muttered, his voice sounding just as sleepy as mine, "Seawater must have taken us back or something." "What?" I said, looking at him suspiciously, "how would you know that?" "She was following us, you could hear her. She was probably just making sure that we were safe." He said slinging his legs over the bed. I smiled as he started to make his way out of the room. "We forgot the food" I said smiling, following him out into the hallway. I looked over at the table, noticing Seawater's bandages were missing from the table. "You dont think she actually saw trouble, do you?" I asked. "It's the woods, possibly." He muttered, slinging his arm around my waist and kissing the side of my head. "It's just that her bandages--" "Are gone and now you're worried." He said, cutting me off. I brushed my hand along the table where her bandages were. "She would ask for help right?" I asked, noticing my voice sounding strained. "Probably." He muttered, steering me towards the couch. I sat down with my back on his chest. I picked up my book and stretched out on the couch. I opened the book and I felt Draco start playing with my hair. "Hopefully." I muttered as I flipped through the pages, finding the page that I left off on, and started to read.

I walked in and started at Jean and Draco in the kitchen. Our eyes locked and she stared down at the bandages on my arms and face. Then she looked over at the lion skin I had in my hands. I averted my eyes and took the meet over to the cutting board. I chopped it into fine bits and grabbed some eggs from my stash. I placed the eggs in a pan and began to scramble them. I placed the then finished eggs on a large plate and I cooked the meat. I mixed the two together and gave the two one large plate with two spoons and two glasses of spring water. "What happened last night?" Jean looked up at me, I sighed, "a lion was watching you guys from some bushes, I... broke its neck and brought you guys home." "I got hurt in the process, but it was worth it to save you two." I smiled with my pointy teeth which were covered in dried blood, I covered my mouth with my hand and looked embarrassed. The two finished their food and I cleaned up the plates. They walked out of the kitchen together, "be safe" I yelled after them. Jean nodded and they walked into the garden and began to pick some of the vegetables.

I sighed as Draco rubbed my back, "See? She came back." He said, smiling. Then he dropped his hand from my back and grabbed a vegetable and ripped it out from the ground. Tossing it into the pile we made at the edge of the garden. "So, I need to ask you something." I say, carefully approaching the subject. "Yeah? What?" He says, wiping the sweat off his forehead. He smiles lazily and I feel my face heat. I have a flashback to the day in the Great Hall. Where his face was inches from mine, he was smiling like an idiot, and his arms slowly wrapping around my waist. His words replaying in my head like it was yesterday, "That's not what you want, Isn't it sweetheart?" I gulped, the memory entering my head, clear as day. "Hey it's okay. You can tell me" He muttered, taking his glove off and pushing my hair back. "Why me?" I finally manage to get past the lump in my throat. He smiles, that same, lazy smile, "Because," He said, his hand finding mine, "because you're you. There's no one else like you." I smile as he brings our lips together. I smile as I pull back. I grab a handful of dirt and smear it all over his clothes. I laughed at his surprised face. Then he smirked, grabbed dirt and threw it at me. "Hey!" I yelled, and he just laughed. "You started it!" He yelled and grabbed another handful of dirt.

I watched Jean and Draco playing with the dirt. They sure were entertaining when they wanted to be. I laughed to myself and headed over to Olive's room to check on her and Finn. I opened the door and found the two of them snuggle close together. I smiled and closed their door. I grabbed my backpack from my room and walked out into the forest. I walked through the trees and shrubs until I came to a clearing. There was a tree with deep notches carved into its trunk. I took out my knives and began to throw them at the tree. I had been doing this for a while now, and the tree looked like a pin cushion. I chucked my knife at the tree as hard as I could, it sent the tree falling backwards to the ground with a thump. I put the knives back into my backpack and swung it over my shoulder. I grabbed the tree in the other arm and I walked back to the house. I set the large tree at the side of the house and began to cut into large chunks. I took the peices inside and stored them in a corner in my room. I went back into Olive's room and woke her up. I handed her a tray with the scrambled eggs and meat along with a second plate for Finn. I then brought in two cups of water and set them on their nightstand. She grumbled and began to eat, a muffled thank you escaping her lips between yawns. I closed the door again and sat down to plan out the day for myself.

I laugh as I dodge flying dirt. "Not fair!" Draco yells at me. "Well if I didn't dodge it all the time I would look like you!" I laughed. He was covered in dirt, from his head to his toes. "That's the point! You're supposed to be just as dirty as me!" He yelled, then he laughed. I stood there looking at him and his smile faded. "What...?" He started then trailed off when realization of his words sank in, he looked momentarily horrified, then went back to picking out the vegetables. But I was not going to let this go. "Draco Malfoy," I say, starting to walk back towards him from the middle of the garden, "wants me to be quote unquote, 'just as dirty as him.' Now that's a unusual sentence." I say smiling, a wicked look in my eyes. Draco finally looks back up and he matches my gaze, "Hmmm, maybe you should be." He mutters his voice an octive lower than usual, I was caught off guard and I open my mouth, then shut it again. I feel my face start to heat, "No fair."

I looked out of the window, I could see the blue sky clearly. I walked out of the door and took off flying. It felt good to feel the wind in my hair and on my face. I yelled happily and flew over to the dragon colony to check on everyone. I walked into the cave, I was greeted by a muddy colored dragon, I knew who it was right away. It was Norbert, Hagrid's dragon he had raised. I phased and began to spar with him, nipping at his tail and wrestling together. After a little while we got tired. I laid down and Norbet leaned on me, I rolled my eyes and fell asleep in the cave.

I was inside Hogwarts again. In the Slytherin common room. Seawater was there, though she was chained, Finn and Olive were beside her too. They were chained also. I tried to open my mouth to speak, and found that I was gagged and chained as well. My eyes opened in shock. I moved my head a little to see Draco on the floor with a black eye and a busted lip, with chains on him too. Finn looked a little worse, he sported a black eye, with a busted lip, and bloodied wrists. Probably from struggling. Professer Snape grabbed my chains, forcing me backwards. I stumbled out of the building landing in the grass before the Great Doors. I watched as he picked my chains up off the floor and unlock them. I watched as he took off the gag around my mouth. "Good luck with the Ministry." He said. His words and his tone said it all. He wasn't planning on me to survive. Then he walked back inside and slammed the door in my face. I heard the screams of either Olive or Seawater. I started pounding on the door and screaming, "You can't do this!
"You can't!!!" I screamed, shooting up in bed. Draco shot up beside me and grabbed my shoulders and started to shake me. My forehead was damp with sweat and my heart was pounding at 1,000 miles per hour. "Calm down" Draco murmured in my ear. My breathing started to slow down as soon as I realized where I was. Everyone was safe. I exhaled slowly. "Thank God." I muttered, kissing Draco. He pulled away and put his forehead on mine. "Want to tell me what that was about?" He whispered, breaking the silence. And so I told him, I told him everything, starting from the beginning to the end. His face was paler than it was when I finished. "Well, we're all safe. We're all here." He muttered pulling me back to lay back down. "It's probably 12 at night or something," He said, "Go back to sleep." I hummed, wrapping my arms around him. "Night" He whispered. "Night" I muttered back. Letting sleep take me again.

I woke up and jolted upright, nearly throwing Norbert off of me. I got up and walked out of the cave, the light blinding me as I walked into the sunlight. I ran back to the cabin, something didn't feel quite right. There was a strange presence flowing from the cabin. I ran inside to see a dementor above a sleeping Draco and Jean. I growled and kept at it, I just fell through it and scoffed. I had forgotten that they are basically transparent. It turned and faced me, my world becoming dark and hazy. I felt extremely cold and clammy, like I was drowning. I looked around, pale fuchsia walls with white trim were surrounding me. I shuddered, I knew where I was. I stared down at a small blonde girl and her mother and father. Her mother was short and stout with brown hair. Her father was taller and had black hair. Their faces were blurred out and unable to be seen. The girl's mother slapped her and threw her to the ground by her hair. She pinned her down and her father grabbed the makeshift whip made out of nails, a belt and tape. The little girl looked up at me, I gulped, I looked exactly the same as I did back then. I watched the whip crack down on her back and blood gush out of her back. I looked away and when I looked back, Draco was repelling the dementor and Jean was shaking me violently. She looked into my eyes, I could see the reflection, she had seen my memories. She stared at me and I slapped her hand away and staggered outside into the woods. I watched her run after me and I turned away and began to run faster.

I grabbed Stella by the shoulders and shook her until she woke up. "Stella, Stella, Its okay." I said to her once she realized that she was in the cottage. She stared at me and realized that I had seen the whole thing. She opened her mouth to say something when Olive burst through the door, "Guys! We've got a problem." There was warning in her voice, and her eyes betrayed her look of confidence, "More specifically, a Malfoy problem." We ran into the living room of the cottage, where the owl was holding the unopened letter. The seal had an M on the front, for Malfoy, probably. The letter was a red color. I stared at it. It was a howler. Draco grabbed my hand, and I squeezed it reassuringly. He grabbed the letter, turned it over in his hand and looked at the address. It was the exact address where we were. My eyes widened, "What-" I started to say, but right then he opened the letter, and Narcissa Malfoy's shouting rang through the quiet house. "Draco! You cannot just run away like that! Three weeks no one has heard or seen from you! You and your girl are in the paper! They say you're with three fugitives! What has gotten into you! I had to get this address from some child at Hogwarts! Even worse! You come back right this instant! The ministry is looking all over for you! I had to clear your name and your girls! You disappointed me Draco." It said, then it cut off. The howler burned up on the floor. The owl had already left, leaving the rest of us shocked and wide-eyed. I gulped and almost started crying when I started speaking, "Well...Looks like I have to go back." I muttered. Everyone's eyes shifted to me. They all probably thought I was crazy. "Why?" Olive said, her voice was a little high-pitched. "You three, you have to move somewhere else." Draco said, realization dawning on him. Someone had our address, and someone knew who I was, and someone was tracking us, I needed to go back and figure it out, and stop them before they were caught. "Me and Draco are going back to Hogwarts. We were most likely followed from Hogwarts to here. I mean, a flying white dragon isn't that hard to spot. Someone knows where we are, and someone knows how to find us. If we can find the kid who's tracking you all down, you guys can be safe in one place again. And he has to go apologize to his mother." I say, elbowing Draco in the ribs. "Why?" He whines. "Cause your mom is disappointed, and she wants you home for the holidays." I say, chuckling as I duck from Draco's hand. Seawater stares at me, "Just, owl sometimes, and please, solve this." She says, looking away. "Yeah," Finn pipes up, "I don’t want to get caught, and owl, we won't give you a return address." "How are we going to owl you guys?" I ask. "Just give the letter with one of our names on it, owls are pretty keen." Seawater replied, looking out the window. I took in a deep breath, and I tried to move my hand, forgetting Draco still had a tight hold on it. "We'd better start packing." Draco finally spoke up. I nodded my head, and slowly walked back to the room. I let the breath that I hadn't known I'd been holding in as soon as he shut the door behind me. "You okay?" He asked, wrapping his arms around my waist from behind, he put his chin on the top of my head. "I'm okay." I say, trying to convince myself more than him. "Things are going to be different," he says, "but we'll make it through." I grab my packed trunk and haul it over to Charlie's house. I knock on the door, basically pounding on it. Draco grabs my hand before I split a knuckle or two. Charlie opens the door, "Ready to go?" He had agreed to apparate us to the outer-edge of Hogwarts. Seawater, Coasta, and Finn had already said goodbye, be safe, and all of that stuff. There were a few tears, but not a lot. We all knew that this had to be done to keep them out of jail. I nodded and I grabbed onto his arm. Draco grabbed his other. He waved his wand, and it felt like we were being squeezed to death. I felt like I couldn’t breathe, the only thing that told me I wasn’t dying was the handle on my trunk, digging into my hand, and Charlie's arm that I was still hanging onto. Seconds felt like hours, but it finally stopped. I took a big gulp of air and almost fell onto the grass. Draco was breathing heavily besides me, and Charlie looked unfazed. I looked up and saw the big shadowy outline of the castle. We had agreed to wait until night, so we wouldn’t be seen by the students in plain daylight. It was around dinner, so the possibility was still there, but the chances were still lower. The other's had agreed to leave that morning to go somewhere else, I could only hope they made it there safely. There was a loud pop behind me, breaking me from my thoughts. I turned back around and Charlie was gone. I grabbed Draco's hand, and began the long hike back to Hogwarts. "We'll make it in time for dinner." Draco said, halfheartedly. He laughed dryly right next to me. I laughed too, "We probably have two weeks' worth of detention for this." I say, trying to lighten the mood. He only snorts. We were heading up the large stair case, almost to the big oak doors. I ran up to them, dragging Draco along with me. We almost opened the doors when the students erupted into cheers. "What are they cheering about?" Draco said, I merely shrugged, "Probably cause winter break is next week." I said, pushing open the doors. I was about to walk in and walk to the Slytherin common room when I was met with the last person I wanted to see. Severus Snape. Our trunks had been put back into our dorms, and we were now seated in Professor Snape's office, getting chewed out for leaving. "-And you should never-" I was tuning in and out, we had been sitting there for fifteen minutes already, who knew we could get yelled at for so long. Draco was rubbing circles on my hand out of boredom, and my eyelids were shutting. He was about to go on to another concept of why we shouldn’t have left when the door to the office opened and in walked the Headmaster, Dumbledore. "Alright Snape, I think they've gotten it in their heads that leaving was wrong and dangerous. Now, let them get to sleep. I think their punishment should be 50 points from Slytherin, each. And I think that's punishment enough." Snape opened his mouth to speak, but Dumbledore silenced him, "Now run off to bed, you have classes tomorrow." Draco immediately sprung up, I copied him. We both thanked the headmaster, and ran out the door. We made it back to the common room, where everyone was hanging out. When we opened the door, we hadn't expected everyone to be up and playing games. I walked through the door, and Draco followed. I had only gotten five steps in the room when I realized that all eyes were on us. My eyes swept the room, trying to find that one person that wasn’t looking at us. But to my avail, everyone was looking. Draco just passed in front of me, and shouted to everyone there, "That's right the king of Hogwarts has returned!" He yelled, this got him some laughs and a little cheer from people that we knew. He smiled took my hand flipped me around, and kissed me. Now that set them off. The whole common room erupted in cheers and wolf-whistles. He released me, grabbed my hand, and dragged me over to the table where Emily was sitting. "You guys came back!" She yelled at me, and engulfed me in a hug. She released me, and smiled, giving me a chocolate frog. "Thanks Emily." I said smiling back. Parkinson walked over and said, "Welcome back, Malfoy." Giving him a kiss on the cheek, winked at him, then stalked off. He looked at me wide-eyed, "What was that?" He hissed at me. I laughed, "Looks like Parkinson's crush on you hasn’t gone away." He rolled his eyes and growled, "Well I hope she knows now that I'm taken." Emily laughed, and I smiled. "Gosh, I'm tired." I muttered yawning after. "You should get to sleep." Emily said, "You too." She finished, poking Draco in the arm. "Yeah, yeah, see ya tomorrow Emily." He said, he leaned down a little, kissing me on the forehead, "See ya tomorrow too babe." He walked up to the boys dorm after that, I brushed the name off. Too tired to even care about it at the moment, but unfortunately, for me, Emily noticed. "He called you babe." She said, following me to the girls dorms. "Yeah, okay." I said, I opened the door to the dorm and flopped onto my bed, too lazy to change into my PJ's. She sat down right next to me, "Aren't you the least bit excited?" "Honestly Em, I'm too tired to care right now." I muttered burying my head in my pillow. "Alright, get some sleep, we have classes tomorrow." She got up, walked to the door and shut it behind her. I heard the door shut, and I was out in two seconds.
(sorry its so long. My writers block has finally gone away and I thought of an idea!! Yay! 😂)

I woke up and smiled weakly even though Jean and Draco had gone, I had a plan. I sighed, "I'm sorry guys" I reached into my shirt, pulling out a gold necklace with an hourglass perched in the middle. I spun it repeating the words engraved on it. I looked up at the gloomy and dark room I was now standing in. I tapped my chain collar and changed into a small girl. "Got to blend in so I dont get caught" I muttered and made my way off to find Finn. I spotted him almost immediately, I grabbed him by the arm and dragged him off into an open field. I turned into a dragon and lifted onto my back, I flew off to the ministry. I smiled and dropped down into a large and lush forest, turning back into a human, catching Finn and dragging him over to the ministry. "Where are you taking me?!" He said rather confused. I replied "getting you registered" as I pushed him into the ministry. I was greeted by a kind lady with a pale face and honey blonde hair. "Where are you two off to now?" I stated "animagus registration" she pointed to a small stand that was coated in red paint and a green awning. I motioned over to Finn and walked over to the stand. A kind elderly man adjusted his large blue glasses, "which one is being registered?" I pointed to Finn and stepped back as the paperwork was being filled out, I began to sweat "Mom and Dad work close to this stand" I muttered nervously. It felt like an infinity but finally, the paperwork was finished and I took him back to our meeting point. I smiled and shook his hand "my name is Stella Seawater, I will see you around" I ran into an alley. I turned the time-Turner back and returned back to the present day.
PRESENT DAY: I awoke in Hogwart's Gryffondor Tower in my bed, I laughed and shook Olive awake. "I did it Olive, I did it" I rushed and got dressed, braiding my long, platinum blonde hair as I walked down the stairs to the dining hall with Hermione and Olive. I sat down next to Ginny and smiled, barely able to contain my excitement. I watched as Finn came over and sat next to Olive. I looked over at Jean and waved, I clutched my book closer and ate a helping of toast and jam. After breakfast, we headed out to the lake and spent the day playing and talking. As the day turned to night, one by one they all fell asleep and I carried the rest of my group back to their beds. I pulled up my blankets and fell asleep to the sound of a light breeze.

I looked around the Gryffindor dining table and smiled, I locked eyes with a girl on the opposite side of the table. She smiled kindly and went back to reading, I shook my head and continued to look around the table before finally opening my own book to add more details of our adventures. I grabbed my quill and wrote furiously, there had been so much on my mind ever since the whole time travel thing. I shut my book and looked up at Olive who was seated next to Finn, she had her head resting on his shoulder. I giggled softly, my eyes shining a rich emerald. Ron looked over at me and tilted his head, “something wrong Stella?” I looked over smiling, “nothing is wrong, I’m just really happy.” I stretched and stood up, grabbing my textbooks and walking off. “I’m going to the lake if anyone wants to join me, feel free to” I skipped out of the hall smiling ear to ear. I practically flung myself down the stairs and down to the lake. It had been such a long time since I had been back at Hogwarts, it was like an empty void had been filled. I dipped my toes in the water watching the dementors fly around in the distance. I laughed, they looked like curtains from far away and for some reason it was hilarious to watch. Even though it was gloomy and cold around me, nothing could bring down my mood. I slid into the lake and laughed, it surely was colder than I thought. I looked down at my feet, they were webbed and claw-like, the same went for my hands. I shrugged and dunked my head underwater, I dove down into the depths of the lake. I passed by some fish and crabs, nothing too unusual. I could see long black tentacles wriggling and swishing around in the distance. I shook my head, just a squid, nothing to worry about. I continued through the kelp and seagrass, running my hand through the sand and dirt. I peeked my head out from the kelp to find a spear pointed at my face, I looked up to see some grotesque mer-people grunting and gurgling to each other. I turned away and tried to swim off, only to find the spear lodged deep into my leg, pinning me down. They grabbed my arms and wrapped them in some old and worn rope and began to drag me off. I laughed nervously, this was going to be interesting to say the least.

I sat up in my bed and looked over at the empty one next to me. I chuckled softly and looked around, Olive was wandering around and I was going to find her. I braided my hair, it had grown down to the floor now and I had to braid it to keep it from dragging behind me, I tied the end up in a blue satin ribbon and smiled. I pulled my cloak over my pajamas and practically floated down the stairs due to how fast I was. I ran outside of the castle and looked around at the nature in front of me. I found Olive and Finn in the middle of the forest and my giggles would echo through the woods. I walked over to a large and withered tree and climbed it, small splinters stuck to my fingers and palms. I stood on a branch, it was thick and strong enough to hold my light frame and I sighed in relief. I put on some finger-less gloves as blue claws began to replace my finger tips. My collar began to glow a teal color and my eyes flashed eagerly. I set up some lanterns in the tree and some fireflies collected in them, they began to glow a baby blue color. I unrolled some gold and white streamers and I leapt from tree to tree, tying the ribbon to the knobs and branches of the trees. Vines wrapped around the streamers and a small chandelier would form in between the trees. I smiled and made my way back to the castle, I was humming an ancient tune that seemed familiar to me. I walked back inside and curled up on one of the arm chairs while the fire raged on in front of me.

I awoke from my spot on the arm chair with a start, the fire had gone out and it was certainly cold today. I scratched at a feather on the back of my neck and succeeded in plucking it out. I scanned the common room around me and watched the embers in front of me spark to life. In that split second, Ron, Harry, Hermione, Olive, and Jean all ran in and swarmed me. I blinked slowly, still somewhat asleep and groggy. I was hoisted onto Harry's shoulders who began to walk the common room. They were all laughing and there was a small present in one of the corners, it hit me quickly after that, it was my birthday. Harry set me down gingerly and nodded thankfully, he grinned warmly and I pressed a small kiss upon his forehead. He shrugged it off and so did I, after all, it was just a sign of respect in my colony. The others made all sorts of awed noises, I covered my mouth as I grinned, a gentle giggle escaped my lips. I was not really one to celebrate my birthday since it was never important at the colony or in my actual human home. It was definitely a shock to my system to see people so excited over my day of birth. I bowed my head to them all in thanks and gingerly opened up the present given to me. It was a lovely package, a sky blue package with white silk ribbons to tie into a magnificent bow on the top. A small note was tied to a strand of ribbon, *To my dearest Stella, you deserve the world -X*. I shrugged and unlatched the velcro holding the decorated box inside. The small blue vines shone and dimmed as the walls of the box flopped down onto the table with a soft plop. I stared in awe at the item in front of me, a small necklace made of pure silver had etched out "Stella Darling" with blue diamonds accenting the top dot of the i and inside the a's. I laughed heartily, loving the necklace yet I was not going to share who had gifted it to me, despite the squeals from the girls behind me. I reset the box as I had Harry help put my necklace on, he happened to be the closest to me after all. It was late now and the party had been planned for Sunday, tomorrow due to the hecticness of our lakeside antics earlier that day. I left them with another bow, Harry winking at me (oh what was I thinking, I just turned at the right second so he looked like he winked at me, gosh stella you are tired) and the girls clapping jokingly. I ascended the stairs and curled up in my bed, my face warming up due to the warmth of my body and the blanket, at least I think that was the case.

I woke from my shallow sleep with a frightened gasp, my hand shot out above me and grasped for something that did not exist in this plane of waking. I sat up and dropped my hand down in front of me, it quaked and trembled violently despite my efforts to hold it firmly in place. I shook my head slightly and tried to focus on calming my ragged, short breaths. I hated sleeping nowadays, it was always plagued with my guilt of reversing and altering the time line we lived in. I had never looked at my friends the same since that moment, it was saddening to see how I could have changed the world in the worst way possible. With that thought I slid slowly out of bed, a small rustling accompanying my exit of my bed. I stood at the window, staring out at the void of cold brought about by the dementors. I shook my head gently, more aggressively than the previous time, trying to shake the thoughts from my mind. I cast a look over at the peacefully sleeping Olive and Hermione, a small, weak smile flashed across my face as I passed them and made my way down the stairs of the common room and into the great hall. My wings unfurled and wrapped around my upper body in a flimsy attempt to comfort myself with a sort of fake hug. I passed through the halls and found myself at the Slytherin common room, anxiety gripped me tight as I snuck into the common room noiselessly. I left Jean a simple note, "If you wish to learn the truth of our pasts, meet me at the lake at noon" I signed the letter in my signature blue,cursive S and wax stamp of two dragons interlaced together, swords clashing together. Without a second thought, I cast her a small smile, aware that she could not see it and left the common room. I made my way out of the castle, narrowly avoiding Snape and his calling out for any students. I situated myself in a tree next to the lake and remained there for the rest of the bitterly cold winter night. Sleeping was no longer an option for this particular night, I was just grateful that it was the weekend and I would not miss any school for this dilemma.
