COMPATIBLE DAMAGE

Eight- a new secret 'friend'

⚠️mentions of death⚠️and a little about blood later on but not much

"Ho-How is this possible? How did you do that?" Theo stuttered a little giving me back my wand.
"I have no idea." I was breathing heavy, still in shock from what just happened.
I saw them exchange a worrisome look.

"Please don't tell anyone." I pleaded.
" We won't tell a soul." They agreed.
We started walking towards the castle again.

"How did you guys get detention anyway?"
"How did you?" Tom fired back.
Shit.
"Alright then, keep your secrets."
We gave Hagrid the hair he needed and went to our common room.

"We have to take care of something. Meet us at the Astronomy Tower tomorrow at 6pm." Tom said.
They kissed my cheeks and left.
Butterflies erupted in my stomach.
I went to my dorm and got ready for bed.

~~~~~Tom's Pov
I kissed her cheek and left with Mattheo.
We went to our dorm.
"What do we do? We can't let our father find out, he'll either torture her into obedience or kill her."
Theo spoke concerned.

I can't let that happen.
She can't be hurt.

"We won't tell anyone as promised. There isn't much we can do for now. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. For now let's focus on her and finding out what those powers really are."

~~~~~~Izzy's Pov
Pansy wasn't here, she's spending a lot of time with Blaise lately.
I got into my bed and under the covers.
That energy blast really drained me, not five minutes later I fell asleep.

~~~dream
I walk away from a group of kids, a boy follows me.
-
I was in the dark cave once again, holding the boys hand.
"Do you feel that?" I said in a voice so low it was barely a whisper.
"Feel what?" he asked.
"Magic."
"Magic isn't real, Izzy."
"But how do you explain everything we've seen? What about dad?" I was worried the caretakers from the orphanage were getting to him.
"We don't have a dad. The rest was just our imagination."

Did he really mean it?
Then it all started again.
-
A scream
-
"Izzy HELP!"
-
I get pulled under the water
-
White creatures pulling me deeper and deeper
-
Feeling heavy.
The pounding in my head.
Everything goes black.
Only the sound of my blood rushing through my veins remains.
Until it fades away too.
~~~~~

I woke up screaming.

Panicked.

With tears streaming down my face.

My breathing irregular.

My heart beating so rapidly it could tear out of my chest.

My vision was blurry. Maybe from stress or maybe form my tears.

I took deep breaths trying to calm down, hugging my pillow.
I wouldn't be able to fall asleep now.
I opened my nightstand to take my sketchbook and picked up my quill but then I remembered about the notebook I found earlier.

(reference photo at the beginning of this chapter plus silver)

I took the notebook from under my pillow and examined it.
It was heavy, hand crafted, made of green emerald skin with elements made of silver.
I tried opening it again but nothing worked, it was immune to spells as well.
