     I woke up really early the next morning. My dreams unable to keep me asleep. I went ahead and got dressed for the day. I put on a white button-up shirt with and some Brown jeans, my tie and sweater. I slipped on my robes and headed downstairs. Jake and a second year were downstairs relaxing. Jake was in his usual spot in the chair in front of the fire. I sat down in the chair next to him.

     "Good Morning, Mark." He said

     "Good Morning, Jake. " I replied

     "What do you think we'll do in charms today?"

     " I don't know. Maybe we'll learn the elevating charm."

     "Wow that is a random idea."

     " Yeah, I guess. "

    I went back upstairs and laid in my bed. I thought about the dreams I had last night and pondered over there faces. The house had the same nose and eye shape as Angela. But had a lot more hostility in his eyes than Angela. I was gonna have to do some detective work. But not alone. And I couldn't tell Dumbledore anything.

     I woke up again to the light from the window. Everyone was starting to get up. So I grabbed my wand and stuffed my quill into my backpack. I folded the piece of paper I drew on yesterday and stuck it in the pocket of my jeans.

     I talked with Tessa and Anna for a little bit and went to breakfast in the Great Hall. Ivy was there talking to Ivana and Zucker. I took a seat. 

     "Hey, Mark." They all said at once. We laughed.

     "Hey, do y'all remember what the ghost that attacked Angela looked like? " I asked.

     "Yeah, I drew him! Wanna see?" Ivy answered. She opened her bag and pulled out a notebook.

     "Yes, please." I said eagerly .

      She flipped the pages quickly and stopped at a page with a male figure colored in blue. The eyes and nose were exactly what I remembered from my dreams.

     "He kinda looks like Angela." Zucker stated. Pointing at the drawing.

     "I know. I noticed that last night." I said. They looked at me weirdly . "I dreamt about the night over and over again. I know. It was weird for me too."

     " I've heard of prophetic dreams before, but never rewinding dreams. " Ivy said getting excited. "My friends are so cool!"

     " Calm down Ivy, " Ivana said, "we don't even know if he's telling the truth." Ivy slumped down in her seat.

     " I swear I am taking the truth. Here look at this. I was doing freestyle writing last night. You know where you don't think you just write? " I showed them the piece of paper.

     "Silver ghost, greed, revenge, hate, scurrilousness, and mutiny." Ivy read them aloud. " What's that symbol? "

     I pulled out my book on sigils. "It's a sigil symbol. The one from the trap door." I opened the book and summer through it. There was a sigil for each element. Fire, Water, Ice, Earth, Stone, and Wind. There were sigil for summoning creatures and killing creatures. But the one we had wasn't any normal sigil. It was a combination of a spirit sigil and a transportation sigil. Hybrid should could only be made from the blood of Korengian Knicklebockers.

     "So all of this time I was looking for a Korengian Knicklebocker and they were being slaughtered?" Ivy asked , her voice breaking and eyes watering.

     "Not necessarily. It says here the blood could have been gathered over time from different ones. " I say.

     "So there are more Korengian Knicklebockers, and I can't find one, that's nice. " She slumped even farther into her seat and sighed.
