I laid in my bed in the castle, I promised Dumbledore I'd dedicate most of my time here to teach.

so my Temple was being looked after by Hagrid and Mr. Filch.

I tossed and turned my head back and fourth, female cackling filled my head as I dreamed nothing but blackness.

I jumped up out of a dead sleep and took a deep breath.

I calmed down and stared at the ceiling, thoughts of "what was that." Filled my mind.

that morning I walked the pathway, earlier I was visited by Dumbledore in my bedroom..

Flashback>

I heard a knock at the door and look over, I see the Headmaster come in.

"Ms. Saka, I feel I must let you off duty today.. I sense you are troubled.." he insisted.

I shook my head, I put my hand on my chest.

"but professor. I'm fine. I can teach today.." I assured sincerely.

"are you sure?.." he replied with concern.

I nodded.

"Very well.. I apologize for disturbing you." he nodded back and made his way out..

"That was unusual, but I guess he felt worried about me all of a sudden and wanted to confront me about it.." I thought.

as I was drowning in thoughts Mr. Filch runs up to me, "Mrs. Malfoy! Mrs. Malfoy.." he cowers slightly and touches my arm.

"Mr. Filch, What's wrong?" I ask politely.

"your garden, your Cherry trees.." he muttered hysterically.

I stared at him confused.

he took me to my Temple, "they're... dead.." I gazed at my plants that were now bare and brown.

"they just died right in front of us.. there was nothing we could do.." he grasped his gloves.

Hagrid stood there in shock just staring as I did.

I tried to revive them. but I couldn't.. something was blocking me..

I didn't understand..

"Don't worry.. It'll be alright. as you were.. I'm going to write a letter. trust me. Everything will be ok." I touched his arm and smiled.

I headed back to my room and immediately wrote a letter to Lucius.

I tied it up in a black ribbon and gave it to an owl, "please deliver this as soon as possible.." I asked him softly.

miles away from Hogwarts in a dark room, a woman spoke sinisterly to a group of death eaters and dark spirits.

"when we have the boy convinced and joined on our side.. our plan will take full action. this curse is only the beginning.. hahaha!" she cackled horrendously.

I stood in the courtyard soon after I sent the letter off, I was enjoying time outside in the sun. I was supposed to take the younger students to my Temple and educate them on the plants i had already grew there, but. that won't happen now..

suddenly the students flooded the grounds, I saw Draco coming my way.

at the same time Lucius arrived and made his way over, I stopped Draco and spoke to him.

I noticed his color was paler. much like a light grey, "Draco. are you alright?" I stared.

he looks up at me, "I'm fine.." he assures and scurries away.

"Draco!" I shouted softly in disbelief that he disrespectfully walked away.

"What's wrong?" Lucius finally approaches with a grin.

I was startled and swiftly turned around, I look at him and exhale.

"did you get the letter?" I ask.

"Yes." he nodded obviously.

"strange things are happening Lucius... every single plant is dying. I'm unable to revive them.. I'm being blocked from using my power to save any kind of greenery.. the whomping willow. The oldest tree living on these grounds. Is dying.. Hogwarts has been cursed.. i am to believe we have too.." I said frantically.

he started to look concerned.

"did you see Draco just now?" I asked.

he nodded.

"he's acting so strange.. he doesn't look himself.. something dark is at play here. the whomping willow explained to me when I visited him that this is being caused by a darkness of vengeance.. and that our family is targeted.." I notified him strongly.

he stared at me with a ghostly expression, I stared back softly in worry.

If we fail to find out what's causing these events, Draco's soul will become darker and he will become aggressive, turning against us.. the school and the plant life will remain cursed while a possible war against me and my family comes on swift wings..

I realize now that this mystery really and truly is something to worry about...
