Time flies when you're having fun. It's now the spring and things are warming up slightly. Barely honestly but my warming charm allows me to pretend it feels warmer out. Or to pretend I feel warmer when I'm in the Potions dungeon as I am right now.

"Oi Hermeowne! What did you get on your paper?" I whispered across the room.

"I told you that's not my bloody name. Stop calling me that!" Hermione hissed back.

"Granger stop that meow before I deduct further points from Gryffindor. Now Debrova I can't help but noticed you switched to black glitter ink. Why the change now?" Snape questioned as he handed my paper back.

I flashed a thumbs up at Hermione as I saw the O on the top of my paper. Hermione rolled her eyes in response.

"Christmas is long gone and while I could still use green to represent our house I decided instead to use the color that represents your soul." I explained with a smile on my face.

Snape began sputtering as Harry and Ron were rolling with laughter.

"This moment almost makes up for the two Howlers I received this year." Ron said in tears.

That was a fun moment forever etched into my memory. I smiled as I remembered it arrived the first day back from winter break.

"RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY!

THIS YEAR YOU HAVE MADE THE TWINS LOOK LIKE DOWN RIGHT ANGELS! FIRST THE FLYING CAR AND NOW PULLING A PRANK IN YOUR POTIONS CLASS TO EMBARRASS YOUR PROFESSOR WITH A MUGGLE RADIO! A RICK ROLL OF YOUR PROFESSOR! AND-" Molly's shouting was heard throughout the Great Hall before being interrupted by her husband.

"What is a Rick Roll? Could you explain via letter or when I next see you? I'm very interested in this new muggle movement. Oh also son, what is Professor Snape never gonna give up?" Arthur asked while interrupting his wife.

"DON'T INTERRUPT ME WHEN I'M ON A ROLL ARTHUR!" Molly shouted again.

"A Rick Roll! Is that it?? Is that how it works? Is Molly Rick Rolling right now?" Arthur asked.

"I SWEAR TO GODRIC IF YOU INTERRUPT WITH YOUR NONSENSE ONE MORE TIME ARTHUR! AS I WAS SAYING YOUR BAD BEHAVIOR DIDN'T STOP THERE NOW DID IT? OH NO. THEN YOU HAD TO ATTEMPT A POLYJUICE POTION THAT HARMED DEAR HERMIONE. THAT WAS FAR TOO ADVANCED FOR YOU AND YOU STOLE INGREDIENTS TO DO IT! YOU ARE GROUNDED FOR LIFE MISTER!

Hermione dear I hope you're feeling fine meow, Dear. Harry, Ginny, Percy, Fred, George I'm so proud of all of you this year. You're making your family so proud. I love you all." Molly ended before the letter tore itself up.

I had tears in my eyes from holding back my laughter as I remembered that moment.

"I'd deduct more points from you Mr. Weasley but I find letting the class know you got a Troll as your grade for that paper punishment enough. 50 points from Gryffindor from you though Mister Potter." Snape sneered at the two.

I lost my battle at holding my laughter back but the entire class was laughing with me at Ron's grade.

That evening as I prepared for bed something felt off. Like things were about to forever change. It didn't necessarily feel like a bad change but a change it would be. The family seer did warn us of a change this year. A change from the past. I felt that was coming. I frowned as I laid down between Blaise and Draco cuddling the both of them. When I fell asleep the date was the 4th of April 1993.

The blasted Inferi were dragging me under and I was drowning. My thirst was no longer what was on my mind. My impending death was all I could think about. I would never stop Voldemort, find someone whom I'd fall in love with, mend things with my brother, he'll never know I don't hate him but love him still, I'll never get to truly live. It was then I was filled with a desperation to live. I had to live. I kicked and gasped as spells ran through my mind. Spells from the many dark books in my homes library. I remember a spell that was to transport you somewhere safe in a time of need. I couldn't remember it as I was young when I read it plus I was running out of breath to breathe. The world was darkening around me. I chanted the spell and hoped I had it right with hopes of ending up somewhere safe being at the top of my mind as the world faded out.
