Rowan sat next to Harry in a quiet room as everybody was just getting their notes written down. Hermione and Ron sat in front of them and Harry could feel everyone's eyes on him.

The Potter boy turned around as he looked behind him, seeing a group of people staring at him, but looked away when they saw him looking at them. Harry looked at Ron who was trying to say something, but nothing came out.

He looked at Hermione who tried to reassure him with a smile, but it was clear she felt weird around Harry. Harry looked back over his shoulder, seeing another group of people look away from him when he looked at them. Even Ginny was staring at him with narrowed eyes before looking away.

The only person who was acting normal around him was Rowan. Harry just closed his book, putting his quill down as the three looked at him.

"I'll see you back in the common room." Harry said as he just got up, grabbing his books as he started to walk away with them staring at him all the way.

"Real nice." Rowan murmured to her two friends as she just continued writing, not noticing guilty looks on their faces. Rowan stopped all her movements when she heard the same voice again.

"I want blood." Rowan turned around as she looked around, looking at Ron and Hermione who were staring at her, asking if she was okay through their eyes. "They all must die."

"I'm gonna join Harry." Rowan claims as she closed her book, putting her quill down as she didn't give them time to say anything because she had already gotten up and walked out of the room.

"Kill. Kill."

"Harry!" Rowan hushly whispered when she saw him against the wall. Harry abruptly turned around at the voice, seeing it was the girl made him relax.

"It's here." Harry informed, pressing his hand against the wall.

"Kill. Time to kill." The two tweens looked up as they tried to figure out the source of the voice.

"Come on." Harry instructed as he started to walk down the hall making Rowan follow him. Soon enough they turned the corner, looking up at Sir Nicholas who was in the air just floating, his head to the side as if he was hanging, but he wasn't.

He was also a ghost so he could be fine. I mean, he was already dead. Rowan and Harry just walked next to him, still staring up while Rowan looked down to see Justin was frozen on the ground.

"Oh no. Harry." Harry looked at the girl, but followed her line of sight as she approached the frozen boy, his book on the ground. Harry slowly stepped behind her as she kneeled down next to him, slowly touching the boy's hand

"Caught in the act." The two abruptly turned to look behind them, seeing Filch was staring at them. "I'll have you out this time, Parker and Potter." The man states. "Mark my words." He seethed before walking off.

"No. Mr. Filch! You don't understand.." Harry trailed when he realized the man just wasn't going to listen to him.

Rowan just looked back at Justin, but she noticed spiders crawling away from the boy.

"Harry." Rowan muttered making Harry look at her from previously staring where Filch left, seeing the girl pointing at the spiders that were crawling to the wall.

The Parker girl stood up, her hand holding Harry's wrist as they just stepped towards the wall, watching the tiny spiders crawl from the floor, onto the wall and out onto the field.

Quick footsteps made them them turn around to see Filch and McGonagall. The woman's expression quickly turned by the sight of Sir Nicholas and Justin as she rushed towards Justin, looking up at the hung ghost, glancing towards the tweens.
