I think it's time to continue Elise's story with Tom. Let's just say, this is going to get infuriating. Because Elise is dumb.
Also, they are reaching the end of the year because the 7th year is more interesting.

Elise's POV:

It had been very strange, I couldn't remember anything from last night. I remember meeting Tom for dinner then we then went out for a walk but then nothing. I loved him. Very much but sometimes it's like something is tainted between us.
I'm sure Cassie would know.

I turn to my best friend who is staring at me with a sad expression. "What's wrong baby?" I ask her. My heart aching just looking at her.

"Something bad is going to happen. I could feel it" she mutters. Her eyes glazing over as she gave me a rather sour expression. Her eyes seemed glassy, like she had been crying her heart out. I grasp her larger hand and stroked it in a loving fashion.
"Bad? But life is good" I give her a slight chucked with a kiss on the hand.  "Elise, what do you remember?" She asked after a short silence.

I frown ever so slightly, remember? I remember everything. Especially Tom. Was I supposed to remember something else?

I shake my head and shrug my shoulders "nothing dearie" I tell her in a nonchalant way. She was a acting strange. She seemed off her rocker but composed. It was a living breathing oxymoron.
Cassie gave me a sad smile, she looked as if she was about to cry her eyes out again. Before I could question her again she snatches her hand away from me and runs into the bathroom. Her sobs causing her body to shake vigorously.

I didn't understand what was going on but instead of questioning her further I simply shrug my shoulders and dress myself for the Saturday ahead. I felt like I have forgotten something. Like a blank space in my head. Perhaps I should ask Tom to perform a spell, or maybe not since he seems a little on edge lately.

I once again shrug my shoulders and descend into the common room, not a single care was in my head.
