The Other Potter

Chapter 21

~After Dinner~

"It is all in the wand movement" Hermione told me and I rolled my eyes and yawned again, I really was tired, it was after nine and all I wanted to do was go to sleep, currently I was in the middle of the common room in my pyjamas trying to learn the spell to change to colour of my hair.

I didn't understand why it was so hard, I had no problem turning other objects different colours so why was this a problem for me, for now I was blaming it on being to sleepy. "Hermione I really appreciate you trying to help me and all, but I really don't think I can practice anymore" I said a little too whiney for my liking.

"Perhaps it would be better if we left it here for tonight and picked it up again tomorrow night" Hermione agreed and I sighed in relief. "I think that is a brilliant idea" I told her before telling everybody goodnight and going to bed, I crashed out the moment I hit the pillow.

I had the nightmare again. Casey would appear, we would hand out we'd go through the woods and I would watch her die. I woke up sweating even though it was a freezing morning, winter had officially started and the snowy wind told me it would be a cold day.

It was early; I was awake before the other girls and decided a shower was in order. I grabbed my stuff and headed towards the sixth floor bathroom. I showered quickly and dressed even faster wanting to get warm fast.

I hated this cold weather, I loved the snow I just hated the cold. I put my make-up on and headed back to the common room to do some last minute homework, taking both fifth and sixth year classes was turning out to be harder than I thought It would be.

"You're up early" Ginny said as I entered our room. "Yeah, couldn't sleep" I told her and sat on my bed doing the work while Ginny got ready for the day. "What are you working on?" Demelza asked from her bed where she was also doing some homework.

"Bowtruckle's" I told her and she giggled "One of the more boring creatures for care of magical creatures" she told me and mentioned she was working on her Iguana essay for Snape. "I got some good books the other night, I listened to you helping Ritchie and Jimmy" she told me and I smiled.

"You should have joined in, homework is always easier when you work with other people" I said and she smiled. "Yeah but you sure had your hands full with those two" we both giggled and got back to work.

"Ready when you are" Ginny said sitting herself on her bed after grabbing my Ipod from mine. "Look up Wynter Gordon's song 'Till Death" its wicked cool" I told Ginny and she nodded laying back listening to the song I told her too.

It took about ten minutes for me to finish my work for Care of Magical Creatures and I walked down to breakfast with Ginny. "That was a cool song, but I do prefer Empty, by the Cranberries and everything by Regina Spektor, your muggle music really is amazing" Ginny was telling me and I smiled happily.

"You know if you had been born muggle I think you would have been a dancer" I said to Ginny who gave me a horrified look and I laughed "I was a dancer" I said as we sat with Jimmy and Ritchie who were busy discussing their newly appointed position's as Beaters on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

~Divination~

"Dreams are like windows to our souls, they whisper things to us. Things about ourselves, our fears, our wants, our needs! Look inside your dreams and tell me what you see" Professor Trelawney said in her spaced out voice and a few students snickered.

Dreams, if there was one thing I didn't want to think about it was my dreams. "Do you think she will notice if I just make a dream up?" I whispered to Ginny. "No, I make mine up all the time" she whispered "Just be sure to add some tragedy, Trelawney loves Tragedy" Ginny informed me and I wrote down the first thing that popped into my head.
