Hidden In The Shadows

Chapter 8

I grab a quick shower and put some light makeup on and I rush out of my room. I've got charms right now but that's not where I'm headed. I'm going to the astronomy tower as I need to do something.

I run up the stairs of the astronomy tower.

I run to one of the pillars of the astronomy tower. I searched the pillar for the lose stone it took me a minute to find it but I did. I pulled out the stone and revealed a dark wooden box. I reached into the gap and pulled out the box.

I sat on the floor leaning against the pillar. I open up the box to reveal a beautifully carved steel knife.

I pick up the knife and hold it in my hand. I place the box on the floor next to me. I twirl the knife on my finger. I looked down to realise I cut my finger a little.

I move the knife to forearm and I turn my arm over so my palm is facing down. I slowly run the blade across my arm. Blood seeps through the cut as it is being torn open. Dripping down my arm.

A stinging sensation jolts through my arm like a bolt of fire has spread through my vains. I hiss in pain.

I whip out my wand from my robe pocket and I point it at my cut.
"Episkey" I say and a bandages appears out of thin air and wraps around my arm coving up my cut.

I clean off the blood from the knife and put it back in its box. I put the box back into the gap and grab the heavy stone that I placed on the floor and placed it back into the gap.

I quickly make my way down the stairs and rushed down corridors making sharp turns everywhich way. And I finally made it to my charms class I'm 30 minutes late but hey its fine.

I open the door, it creaks so loud and echo was born and pulsated through the halls. I pushed the door open and I saw that all the students were sitting in there seats listening to professor Flitwick. I believe they were being taught Ennervate which revives a person or creature stunned by stupify.

"Ah miss Evans nice of you to join  us. I'll talk to you after class about you being late for now take your seat please" Professor Flitwick says to me while he points with his wand to my seat. And surprise surprise its next to Harry. I take a seat next to my brother.

"Hey" He whispers to me I tilt my head slightly in his direction so he knows I heard him.

"What do you want" I retort at him as if I'm digusted that he is talking g to me. I could tell that made him feel uneasy as he squirmed a little In his seat.

"Look what do you want me to say this isn't my fault your a slytherin and all slytherins turn bad" He whispers to me but sounds as thought he is spitting at me.

"How dare you, that is just not true they aren't all bad" I tell him trying to reason with him. I notice at the corner of my eyes that Hermoine flinched a little which can only mean one thing she's listening in to our conversation.

"Oh yh right your just like them now" he tells me. Things he says to me makes me want to resent him more everytime. I got so angry that I grabbed my stuff and left without a second thought. It's a good thing I already know the spell so it didn't really matter to me if I missed the lesson.

I learned quite a few new spells and potions over the summer with Draco and the others.
