Mischief Managed

3

I woke up the next morning and changed into my robes with some simple mascara and foundation to make sure I looked human. I had my hair up in a messy bun and made my way downstairs for breakfast. When I get down to the Great Hall I see my favorite prefect and go up to give him a hug. 

"Morning Perc."

"Mornin' Mira, how did you sleep?"

"Like a baby, the beds in the Hufflepuff dormitories are so comfy."

"Ha, you obviously haven't felt the beds in the Gryffindor dormitories."

I laughed and walked over to my table to sit next to Brian.

"Morning handsome."

"Morning gorgeous."

We ate our breakfast before going to our classes. I had Potions with Ravenclaw and Snape decided we were all old enough to make these potions on our own so I was by myself for most of class. After that was Divination with nothing but Hufflepuffs. I almost fell asleep during class 3 times. After Divination I went to the library for my free study periods until lunch. While in the library I heard some kids whispering about something. I sneaked up behind them and started listening in but all I caught was something about the "Dark Lord" and "Death Eaters" I hadn't ever heard those words before so I figured I would search the library for some answers. Apparently "Death Eaters" are Voldemort's followers and they call him the "Dark Lord". I was confused because I though You-Know-Who was dead but I didn't think much about it. After lunch I went to the quidditch pitch to kind of be with my own thoughts for a while. As I was flying around the pitch I felt a presence near me.

"Oi! Earth to Mirabella Meadow!!" 

"Sorry lads, I was kind of in my own world."

"Believe me love, we could tell."

I laughed and the twins and I flew around and just spent some quality time together before we decided to shower up for dinner.

After my shower I walked down the corridor to the Great Hall and heard a conversation.

"The boy is here, you should be discussing a plan with the dark lord before doing anything."

"I understand but Severus, he is still very weak, we need the stone."

"I'm telling you the stone is very well hidden and guarded in the castle, only idiots go searching for it. On second thought Quirrell, maybe you should go looking for it since he is asking so much of you."

"Severus."

"You decide."

I ran away before either professor could see me and find out I was eavesdropping but I was so worried. Professor Quirrell never seemed like a dark wizard. Now Snape was another story. While I was in my own head I didn't even notice Oliver putting his arm around me and talking to me.

"I'm sorry what'd you say?"

"I was saying you better watch out this season, my quidditch team has a new seeker who is going to blow you guys away."

I chuckled.
"I'll believe it when I see it Oliver. We will so win the house cup this year."

"We'll see about that."

Oliver walked away from me and I ate dinner by myself while still thinking about the exchange between Snape and Quirrell.
