I woke up, feeling a bit tried but I think I got more sleep then last time. I left the classroom in a hurry just not to be seen by anyone and went to a bathroom.

I didn't feel like eating so I took a long shower and stayed up in the dorms. After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door. I went to open it and a broom was thrown to me, I caught it.

'What's this'? I asked Draco as he shoved some Slytherin uniform to me.

'You better hurry and change'.

'What? What's this for'?

'Well, isn't it obvious, the Nimbus 2001 and the quidditch uniform, your on the team'.

'How? I didn't even tryout'.

'You can thank my father later, right now, you have to get changed'. After he shut the door again, I changed into the uniform.

Of course, I didn't really think this was fair to buy your way into the team but I don't know who else will take my place if I decline. Draco lead me to the others and we started headed down to the pitch. The team were glad to have someone like me.

'Where do you think your going, Flint'? The captain to the Gryffindor team asked.

'Quidditch practise'.

'I booked the pitch for Gryffindor today', He told Flint.

'Easy Wood, I've got a note', Flint handed Oliver a note.

'I, Professor Severus Snape, do hereby give the Slytherin team permission to practise today, owing to need to train their new seeker', Oliver read. I frowned.

'You've got a new seeker, who'? The team moved to the side to let me walk to the front.

'(Y/n)'? Harry said, confused.

'That's right. And that's not all that's new this year', Draco said, stepping to my side.

'Those are Nimbus 2001's. How did you get those? Ron asked.

'A gift from Draco's father', Flint answered.

'See Weasley unlike some, my father can afford the best', Draco bragged.

'At least, no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy the way in. They got it on pure talent', Hermione snapped.

'No one asked your opinion, you filthy little mudblood', Draco snapped back.

'You'll pay for that one Malfoy. Eat slugs', Ron said, though his spell backfired because of his broken wand. Harry, Hermione, and the rest of the Gryffindor quidditch team ran to Ron.

I contemplated whether to go help Ron or not. In the end I decided. I didn't give anything any more.

'You okay Ron'? He puked out a slug. 'Don't answer that'.

'Let's take him to Hagrid's, he'll know what to do', Harry said helping Ron up.

We went to Hagrid's hut and Hagrid brought Ron a bucket.

'Nothing to do to wait till it stops I'm afraid'. Ron puked out another slug.

'Who's Ron tryin' to curse anyway'?

'Malfoy', Harry said. 'He called Hermione... well I'm not sure what it means'.

'He called me a mudblood', Hermione told Hagrid. Hagrid gasped.

'He did not'.

'What's a mudblood'? Harry asked.

'It's a very foul name for a muggle-born, someone with non-magic parents', I explained. 'It means dirty blood, it's horrible, blood status shouldn't matter'.

'See, thing is Harry, there are some wizards, like the Malfoy family, who think they're better than everyone else because they're what people call pure blood. Dirty blood, well there isn't a wizard alive today that's not half blood or less, more to the point they've yet to think of a spell that our Hermione can't do, come here, you think on it Hermione, don't you think on it for one minute'.

After a while, Ron stopped puking out slugs, so we headed back for the castle.

At dinner, Harry was nowhere to be seen, including Lockhart. At least no one was staring at me. Me, Ron, and Hermione went to look for Harry.

'Maybe he's in detention with Gilderoy, I didn't see him at dinner either'.

'Ok, let's go to the DADA classroom'. Right then we bumped into Harry.

'Did you guys hear it'?

'Hear what, Harry'? Hermione said confused.

'It's gonna kill'. We all ran around a corner when we saw blood on the wall.

'It's Mrs Norris', Harry pointed out. Right then students came from both sides and stopped at the scene.

'Enemies of the heir beware, your next mudblood', Draco spat.

'What's going on here, make way, make way'. It was Filch. 'Potter, Prince, what are you-' he stopped when he saw Mrs Norris hanging faintly. 'Mrs Norris', he cried. 'You've murdered my cat, I'll kill ya, I'll kill ya'. He grabbed Harry's collar and my neck.

'I didn't do anything, I swe-'

'Argus, Argus I-' Dumbledore stopped when he saw the scene, other professors behind him. 'Everyone will proceed to their dorms immediately, everyone except for you four'. Argus was crying.

'She's not dead, Argus, she's been petrified', Dumbledore explained.

'I thought so, so unluckily I wasn't there, I know the exact counter curse that could've spared her', Gilderoy bragged.

'But how has she been petrified, I cannot say'.

'Ask Prince and Potter they've done it', Filch snapped at us.

'I didn't do anything', I said, still rubbing my throat. 'I didn't do anything and he thinks it's okay to choke me'.

'If I might Headmaster, perhaps Potter and his friends were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time', we looked at each other confused at what Snape said. 'However, the circumstances are suspicious, I for one don't recall seeing Potter at dinner'.

'I afraid that's my doing Severus, you see, Harry was helping me answer my fan mail'.

'That's why Ron, (y/n) and I started looking for him, professor, we just found them when they said', Hermione looked at us wondering if we wanted her telling the truth.

'Yes, Miss Granger'? Snape pushed for an answer.

'When I said I wasn't hungry', Harry finished Hermione's sentence.

'We were heading back to the common room when we found Mrs Norris'. Snape turned to Dumbledore.

'Innocent until proven guilty Severus'.

'My cat has been petrified, I wanna see some punishment', Filch yelled.

Snape looked at me with a worried look in his eyes. Snape's unknown emotions made me scared a bit.

'We will be able to cure her Argus, as I understand it Madam Sprout has a very healthy growth of Mandrake and mature a potion will be made which will revive Mrs Norris, in the meantime, I strongly recommend caution to all, head back to your dorms now'.

I had spent another night out of my dorm. At the point I couldn't take it anymore. I drew silver and it turned red.

Blood dripped to the floor. The first time. I just couldn't take these feelings anymore.
