"Ugh!" I yelled after finding the fifth pair of Albus's underwear in my trunk. "Why is this kid so unorganized!" I said to my only roomate, Johanna. Our generation isn't that smart.
"At least you can bring them to him." Johanna said, "If I found my sister's underwear, I'd be stuck with them until Christmas!"
"Being a muggle born isn't that bad, my aunt was a muggle born and sh-"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. She saved the world! Well not every muggle born can be Hermione Granger."
"Whatever. Well I'll be back, gotta go find a Slytherin to give these to." I say holding the underwear.
After sitting in the library for countless hours, I know realize why all those Slytherins aren't in Ravenclaw. "Hey Jerry," I say to my fellow Ravenclaw, "Do you know where the Slytherin common room is?"
"Naw- Sorry" He said. That's what I get for asking a sixth year.
"I just so happen to know where the common room is."
"Rebecca?" I say confused. "Were you eavesdropping on me?" Rebecca's face went red.
"Er-. Yes?" She said uncomfortably "That doesn't matter right now, just follow me."
Rebecca and I make many twists and turns until we get down to the dungeon.
"So," I say trying to make some light conversation. "What house is your sister in? I wasn't really paying attention."
"Oh she's in Hufflepuff. Both my parents were in Hufflepuff too."
"That's nice, my whole family's separated. Kind of weird if you ask me, most siblings are in the same house. We get to play each other in Quidditch though, it's pretty fun."
"I'm not very athletic, I enjoy watching Quidditch though. Wizard chess is more my style, you ever played?"
"Yeah, me and my dad used to play all the time. Now more dark wizards are
popping up, so he works a lot.."
Dark wizards are always a touchy subject, I mean it's not like Voldemort's gonna come back it's been like fifty years or something. Luna was never afraid of Voldemort, at least that's what she tells me.
"Well, we're here!" Rebecca said.
"Oh, well thanks Rebecca, see you around."
Slytherins are very secretive. I had been sitting in front of the common room for ages and no one has come in or left.
"Hey, I know you! Your that from A-Pot's house!" Looking up, I see Paisley, the girl Albus was snogging.
"Yeah, um. Could you let me in? I need to give Alb-, I mean A-Pot's something."
"Well, I'm not supposed to but since you have it tight with A-Pots I guess we can make a little exception." Wow, I'm lucky someone stupid showed up. As soon as I walk in I heard loud, obnoxious party music and see people jumping up and down. Soon, I hear an amplified voice.
"It's A-Pots in the house!" I sigh.
"Albus." I whisper as I put my face in my palm. Honestly, I just want to get in and out of there, but there was a whole crowd surrounding him!
"Albus!" I yell "ALBUS!" Still, no response. I didn't want it to come to this, but I had to use my loud voice. Luna taught it to me.
"Years ago," Luna had said "It was at the Battle of Hogwarts, you know about that right? Well anyways, your father would not listen to me! So I had to use this voice, it was horrible but it worked."
"ALBUS SEVERUS POTTER!" I had done it and as usual, the voice worked. The music had stop as well as the dancing.
"Lily, what the bloody hell are you doing here? Get out I've seen you all summer!"
"Oh, I'm sorry brother dear. I was just returning these." I hand Albus his underwear and get out of there as fast as I can.
Dear Mum and Dad,
Hogwarts is as normal as it gets. I'm still here with my only roomate, Johanna, we don't really get along so I'm usually by myself. I've checked out some really great book today and I'm really getting into them. Today I came across a strange and disturbing sight. While I was unpacking, I found five pairs of Albus's underwear and being the nice sister I am, I went to go return them for him. After looking countless hours for the common room, a lady friend of Albus's let me in. I discovered that your son is the ruler of the Slytherin house and is nicknamed A-Pots. I find this very disturbing and am concerned for my brother. If this continues, his OWL scores could be affected and it would mess up his entire future! Being the nice (and intelligent!) sister I am, I would be willing to tutor him after classes on Fridays and Saturday and Sunday afternoons. If you are interested, please write back.
Love, Lily
Maybe I exaggerated a little, ok a lot, but I was stressed! What I needed was a medition session. Johanna was hanging out with some Gryffindors somewhere so I had the dorm to myself. Digging through my trunk, I found my purple candle. The odd thing was, the wick seemed to have grown! I looked for signs of magic in the candle, but there was no indications. After lighting the candle, I began to reflect on my day. The busyness and stress. The sadness from leaving my parents. The happiness from my freedom and independence. Mixed emotions today. Suddenly, I feel asleep again and had yet another mysterious dream.
Again the same two people were talking, but this time it wasn't modern Hogwarts, but from thousands of year ago. The castle look new, like it was just finished being built.
"Brigitta, you are not worthy of my presence! You are forbidden to enter these grounds ever again!" A man said to the woman.
"But Salazar, I am just as much apart of this castle as you are. You wait until the others hear about this."
"The others already know, Brigitta. They want you gone too! Run away I'm sure the minister will have you excommunicated for this!"
"I vow on my life Salazar Slytherin that this will not be the last time this school sees me! You will regret this Slytherin." Then the woman left.
"Lily, Lily. You almost burnt our dorm down because if this stupid candle! It smells horrid! Pit it out before I put you out!" My lovely roomate said to me.
"Sorry. I didn't know you were back."
Something seemed suspicious about that candle. Growing up, my favorite books were always mysteries. In this andle was a mystery and I was going to solve it, even if it takes me all year. I'll start my research tomorrow, the library must have a book on Brigitta Bezoarly.
