CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR: A SURPRISE TWIST

~Anonymous POV~

I headed for the girls bathroom like I said I would. Once I was in front of the mirror, I muttered the spell that would change me back to normal. I had just disguised myself to look like Samantha Puckett in Slytherin.
I changed out of the Slytherin robe and back into my one. I fixed my hair before leaving for class.
McGonagall wasn't there yet, so I was safe. I couldn't afford getting detention, now that I'm so close. My plan was almost done. I just have to wait and see if my victim would fall for it. McGonagall walked in a few minutes later and class begun. Of course I couldn't concentrate, I was too busy planning the next phase of my diabolical plan.

SO CLOSE...

~Heather,~

I kept having nightmares about the dead. Actually, nightmares about everyone who actually did die. I could feel their presence sometimes. Now, don't  call me crazy, or weird, or a FREAK !
Because I know where you all live.
Anyways, back to the dead. I had nightmares about people that were already dead. For example, Abraham Lincoln, My great aunt Ferggy, my Hamster that died two summers ago and the most  terrifying one of all were Harry's Parents. They actually talked to me in my sleep. Harry's mum had emerald green eyes, just like his, and as for his father, he had jet black hair, exactly like his. His hair was messy  of course.
"The chosen one."
"Destined to work side my side"
"Both in battle and death"
"Choose wisely"
"For your evil master and father awaits."
"Choose wisely, my dear"
"Between evil and good"
"Between greed and justice"
"Your final decision makes a big difference"

But, they're just dreams right ?
They freaked me out at first, but then, I decided not to fret. Nightmares are nightmares. I mean, did Hermione really die ?
Did Voldermort really come back ?
  No. I don't think so
So there is no reason to fret. Just like I said. I still need a full explanation about what happened when I was a baby. All I remember is - absolutely nothing.
I was sitting alone in fine Common room. Tommy and Cassandra went to see Hagrid. I wasn't really in the mood. And I certainly don't want to eat his rock-like cakes.
Just then, an owl swooped in through the window. It was a beautiful black owl. It had blue eyes, which made it even more beautiful.
It dropped a letter on my lap, hooted and flew off. I grinned at the sight of it before opening my letter.

Heather Granger. Meet me in the Forbidden Forest at midnight. There are some important issues we need to discuss.
Do not be late.

From, unknown.

Who the hell would sent a letter of this sort. Me, being my rational self, decided to show the letter to Professor Dumbledore immediately.

~Dumbledore~

I was admiring Fawks, my Phoenix, when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in" I said softly and Minerva's head popped in.
"There is someone special who wishes to speak with you"
"Very well"
A few moments later, Heather Granger walked in. She immediately began scanning my study with wide eyes. When her eyes came to Fawks, she yelped and walked towards me.
"Sir, I'm sorry for disturbing you but- I received something very peculiar this afternoon. "
"Do not worry child. You weren't disturbing me at all" I said calmly. "Now, what is this very peculiar thing you mentioned just now ?"
She handed me a green envelope.
I opened it(like any other person would do) and read it twice.
"You weren't planning to meet this person were you ?" I asked.
"Actually, I was hoping whether you could tell me what to do, exactly" she answered.
"Well, I suggest you do meet this person"
"What !!!?" She exclaimed and I smiled.
"You're not going alone of course. I will station a few teachers, including myself around the forest"
"But the forest is Ginormous"
"I am aware of that. I will cast a few spells around, so it will tell me where this mysterious person is"
"Okay. Thank you very much sir" she bowed and left the study.

I continued pondering on this very issue.
Could it be Voldermort ?
Of course not. That's all Poppycock ?!
Why would Voldermort send a letter ??!

Fawks made sounds as a reply.

"That's stupid. That's stupid" I imagined him saying.

It really is, but I am definitely confident about telling Heather to meet this mysterious person. I'll be there after all.
I have a few theories about who they just might be.

For instance-

(@)(@)(@)(@)(@)(@)(@)(@)(@)

~Tommy~

"Jake, what are you doing exactly ?" I asked (my best friend who is a boy) him. He just shrugged and sat on his bed. I managed to steal these from the kitchen.
"You got into the kitchen ?" I asked surprised.  "Mate, you've got to tell me how !!"
"I'll get to that later. Now, I dare you to eat these" he said handing me a small box with colurful jelly beans.
"Oh-Kay...." I chose a yellow one and tried to speak after, but instead this happened. "ROOOAR !!!" I roared exactly like a lion. Few seconds later, the effect went  off.
"What-was- THAT ?!"
"I dunno. They elves told me that it was a little dangerous, so I stole it" he said looking proud.
"You stole it when  they specifically warned you that it's dangerous and you decided to test it on me !!!?"
"Yup" he shrugged and shoved the box under his bed. "It's not exactly dangerous now, is it ?"
"I suppose not" I muttered before getting into bed.  It was half past one in the morning.

~3rd person's POV~

Tommy, Jake and Dylan, walked down to the great hall together, to breakfast of course. Tommy, for some reason was in a really good mood, meanwhile....
In Heather's situation. She didn't exactly feel like eating. She continued to stare at her plate for what seemed like hours, before Ron asked her what was bothering her. Heather, who was still deep in thought did not respond.
"Okay, what is up with you ?" Cassandra blurted out. Heather just shook her head and looked at her feet.
I can't tell her about the letter...I just can't, Heather reminded herself.
"You're acting just like Hermione when she was keeping a secret. Which was you of course." Harry said calmly.
"So, that means..if you're acting like this...you must be keeping a secret !! Just like how Hermione did !" Tommy exclaimed, clearly proud of himself for figuring it out.
"Great job, detective" Cassandra said sarcastically.
"I'm fine. Just nervous, that's all" Heather scoffed, putting on her fake smile.
"Nervous ? About what ?" Hermione said, sitting down next to Ron.
"Exams" Heather lied. She just couldn't stop thinking about the letter she received yesterday. What if it was some Death Eater, waiting to capture her, or worse, what if VOLDERMORT'S waiting to capture her !!!
These thoughts kept buzzing in Heather's mind. I don't think it's wise of Dumbledore to let me meet this mysterious person, Heather thought
Whatever it is, do not fret. There will ever teachers stationed everywhere around me. Dumbledore will be there too, She thought on.
"Um- Earth to Heather ? It's time for class" Tommy said waving his pinkish hands in front of Heather's face.
"See you guys later" Hermione, Harry and Ron called to them as they proceeded onto the Hogwarts Grounds. They had class with Hagrid.
"What do you think Hagrid will teach us today ?" Cassandra asked, trying to keep up with Tommy and Heather, who were walking very fast towards their big friend's Cabin.
"Uh- Care of Magical Creatures !" Tommy laughed.
Not funny this time, Tommy, Heather thought.

Im not in the mood for Care of Magical Creatures..right now, Heather cursed herself.
