I walked with Filch and Mrs Norris to Professor Dumbledore's office and he spoke the password to the stairs and knocked loudly in the door. A few seconds later, it opened and Dumbledore smiled.
"Good evening Filch" he looked at him "And Cassentina-Rose" he looked at me. "What brings you two here at this hour?"
Filch sneered. "I spotted her walking back to her common room after hours. She said she was coming back from astronomy"
I looked at him. "I did, Professor. I had it with Professor Sinista in the astronomy tower with the Hufflepuffs" I spoke, fearly.
He smiled. "I know that you were, Cassentina. Professor Sinista told me this morning."
"... Then why am I still here?" I spoke, he just smiled and tapped my shoulder, but let go immediately, once he felt my ice-cold skin.
"No need to be here, Filch. I can go from here." He spoke as Filch muttered to himself and walked out the door with his cat trailing behind him. He walked over to his desk and sat down next to his pet Phoenix. I looked at it and smiled.
"Is that a phoenix?" I spoke. He nodded. "Wow" I spoke and stood in front of his desk, brushing my fingers against each other. He patted it on the neck gently and nodded.
"So, you needed to see me? I can see that you look like you need to talk to someone." He spoke and I nodded, stopping forward.
"Professor. Things are all going downhill from here and I know it's not wrackspirts."
"Go on..." He ushered.
"Well firstly I found out that I was changed by my grandmother at birth. She was the head vampire. The leader of them all. But when I was in my second year, Lupin and I killed her, but what I didn't know was that I killed her and I took her position." I spoke, exaggerating. "There was only one person in the world that could live the Head Vampire's bite, creating a new dark leader. I am the new heir and I can hear all the previous leaders and the others in my head and in my dreams. They want me to lead them to destroy the world. Professor, they are going to bring back you-know-who from the dead very soon and they want me to be one of the leaders. And.... And... I'm 15 next year. I'll be immortal and stop growing... I'll loose my glamour and I'll never age... How am I suppose to go to school if I can't grow up? People will get suspicious. I'll stop eating and stop sleeping and my powers are really strong. I can control the mind, move things with my mind, read minds, talk in minds, everything with the mind. And I can heal really fast and it's just too much to handle." I spoke, falling to the ground in sobs. "I never wanted this..." I cried. Dumbledore nodded and walked over, helping me up. He locked eyes with mine.
"I know how you feel. I know what it feels like for you to betray everyone you love. Believe me."
I nodded. "Do you think I should move up a year though?" I spoke. He tapped my shoulder gently and nodded. I stood up.
"I wish I cant hear them soo often, the desperate cries and the things they want to do. I can't hold them forever. They want me to lead them to eternal glory."
He nodded, turning around and tapping in his desk. "You remember what I said at the opening ceremony last year?"
I nodded "yes. You said happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light" I spoke. He nodded. I looked at him.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you at this hour. I really am"
"No need to worry. Yo look like you have something in your mind"
"Sir, it's about Mad-Eye Moody. He's not who you think he is. I can't tell you any more. And Professor Snape is getting really suspicious."
He nodded and tapped his desk again, but stopped.
"Do you mind if I tell Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick about your... Condition. It's best if they knew and I'll tell Filch to let you out at night"
"It's ok, you can"
"Thank you"
I smiled. "I'd better get off back to the common room."
He nodded and looked at me. "You'd better see Madam Pomfery. You look like you haven't drunk anything in hours." I nodded.
"What will it be like when I reach 15?" I spoke. He looked at me.
"I don't know, but you will remain strong for me"
"I will" I spoke and thanked him, heading to the infirmary.

After getting a drink, I headed up the stairs to the common room. I knocked on the knocker gently and the eagle head turned around, shaking it's metal feathers.
"A bit late at this hour. But for you must know. This riddle ain't easy. )clears throat( What came first? The Phoenix or the flame?"
I nodded and thought. A phoenix's life cycle is that it grows old and regenerates out of its ashes. It's like a circle that has no beginning. Like it's just a circle that repeats.
"Is it that a circle has no beginning?" I spoke. It nodded and I walked in and down the stairs, seeing Luna asleep on one of the chairs, an edition of the Quibbler in her hands. I smiled and grabbed a cusion, placing it on her head. I looked up at the time and saw that it was 5:30am. I smiled and wrote a note to Luna on a piece of paper, placing it in her hands and walked back up the stairs and into my dormitory. I crept in, grabbed my Quidditch uniform and headed to the bathroom. It was rather quiet in there, except myrtle wandered about.
"Hello Myrtle" I spoke. She looked over and smiled.
"Oooh Casey. But early, isn't it?"
"I have Quidditch practice. And besides, I think I saw Michael Corner head to the bathroom." I spoke and her eyes widened as she went through the wall. I rolled my eyes and went into a shower cubicle, turning in the water.
