I left the room and shut the door behind me, feeling pretty dazed as I made my way to the great hall for a great breakfast.

The hall was filled with children and I was late. Dumbledore had already finished with his usual Monday morning assembly, and somehow Professor Snape got there before me. Damn.

I went over to the Gryffindor table where the usual lot sat. With us was Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Ron and the twins. I crawled under the table to go sit next to Harry because walking all the way around the table would take a good two minutes. I groaned as I face planted my head into Harry's shoulder. "Good morning to you too," he laughed, "you ok?"
"I'm a ticking time bomb of poop. How much more poop am I going to have to take? I'm all pooped out," I said exhaustedly. Everyone laughed.
"Rough morning in the girls bathroom, ey, Maria?" Teased Fred who had a stabbed sausage at the end of his fork.
"No... More like a rough morning with professor Snape," I replied. Everyone froze and looked at me. "What?" I asked. Ron raised an eyebrow.
"Oh my God!" I yelled, "guys! Seriously? Not like that! I went to him for help!"
Fred and George laughed harder, falling into each other while everyone else just relaxed their tense bodies. "Oh! Grow up!" I yelled at them.
They calmed down after a while. "Help with what?" Asked Harry
"Was it what we spoke about?" whispered Hermione. I nodded.
"What did you speak about?" Asked Harry, getting curious.

Hermione nudged her head towards me. I was confused. She nudged her head again. "What?" I asked.
She aggressively nudged her head now.

I turned around to find Draco sitting behind me, earwigging like usual.

I sighed, "I'll tell you later," I replied to Harry.

Everyone rushed to finish breakfast so that they could find out what was going on. The nosey little sods.

They finally finished and we decided to go to the tree in the courtyard you discuss my issue. It had been snowing, so everywhere was covered in white powdery ice. We all sat in a circle under the tree, despite the cold surface soaking through our robes. The tree had lost it's leaves and they all listened carefully as I explained what had happened this morning with Sir Benjamin and professor Snape. I showed Hermione the piece of paper with the diagrams which he'd drawn on for me and she passed it around.

"So when are you getting this teacher?" Asked George.
"I don't know," I replied.
"Well when will you find out?" Asked Ginny.
"I don't know," I replied.

"Well he hasn't given you much to go on has he?" Said Ron. I shrugged my shoulders.

"And what about the part with Sirius Black and the Dark Lord?" Asked Hermione, "didn't you ask?"
I thought for a moment, "well, I brought it up once..."
"Maria! That is vital information which you need to know!" She told me off.
"I know!" I replied guiltily.
"Well if you know then why didn't you ask?!"
"I was a bit busy trying to retain the whole magical bending thing, Hermione!"

We all sat there thinking for a while. "Well, the story Benjamin told you makes sense I guess. But I've never heard of it," said Ginny.
"Me neither," said Ron.
"Nor me," said Hermione. Everyone else murmured on in agreement. Except Harry.

"Harry?" I asked, "are you ok?"

He stared at the grass for a bit, then looked up at me, and then looked down again.

"Do you have a... A..." He stuttered. He pointed at his scar.
"Oh," i replied, "yeah".

I took off my robe and red and yellow tie, unbuttoned the top of my shirt and pulled down the shoulder to show the top of my scar. Everyone gasped. I guess they were expecting to see a line like Harry's. No. My scar was worse. Much worse. It looked like the whole left side of my body had healed from one giant 3rd degree burn. My skin was lumpy and healed with different amounts of layers on my skin. "There's more all down my back," I explained. I felt Harry's hand touch it. "AH!" He screamed in pain clasping his forehead. "AH!!!" He screamed again.
