{.79. Carina's Confusion}

The end of January was near and Carina had started to become terribly confused. She had been forgetting things, she had been repeating herself and her work had been slacking. It was completely out of character for her and everyone was concerned about the curly haired Ravenclaw. Minnie and Professor Flitwick had called her up on it and she genuinely didn't have an answer, they had also noticed her eyes flicking between her normal brown and permanent black — making them think it was something to do with her curse.

It was getting so bad that Professor McGonagall had asked Blaise to keep her in the Slytherin boys dorms to make sure that she was alright and that there was no incidents. They had worked out that Blaise was somewhat an anchor for carina so until they managed to get the potion for the curse down her again they had to make sure that she didn't cause any disruption within the school threatening to hurt people who caused Blaise harm. The last thing that needed to happen right now was for Carina to go on a bit of a killing spree because someone had been awful about Blaise — even though the teachers had thought it would be nice for Carina to take out the Carrow's out while she was at it.

Blaise was brilliant though, he was extremely kind and patient with her getting her anything that she needed whenever she needed it. It wasn't like Carina couldn't do her own thing but Blaise didn't want to put her at risk. He would constantly be doing his own research for her to see if it was possible for him to create the potion that might have been safer for her but it was no use. He wasn't any use as he hadn't dealt in dark magic — despite what people may thing, Blaise didn't associate himself with that — and regardless of getting an outstanding in his potions OWL he still was no prodigy.

He had tried to talk to Draco about it but he didn't get much conversation out of him as had to leave Hogwarts for a few days because his Auntie Bellatrix had needed him, Blaise hadn't dared asked what was wrong because he didn't know if he'd have liked the answer and he'd have wanted to keep Draco safe at any cost. All Draco did was assure Blaise that Luna and Mr Ollivander had been kept relatively safe, that he now had Dean Thomas and Griphook a goblin from Gringotts in his basement. Draco reassured Blaise he had been passing them food when he could.

Carina's heart broke when she heard about the death of Tonks' father and another man named Dirk Cresswell. It wasn't even a death it was murder and she was terrified for Dean and Luna if two incredibly skilled wizards had been killed.

"What are you still doing here then princess? Enjoying life on the dark side?" Nott asked as he handed Carina a cup of tea from the tray he was holding

"I hate life on the dark side and they're asking me to stay here until I can get my eyes under control," she hissed

Her eyes were currently black and she had scared a few of the first year slytherins off when they had seen her, she wasn't doing anything bad, she was trying to learn to decipher letters and words.
