The Rouge Witch

Prologue

"You're expelled, Miss Phillips! I hope you're satisfied with yourself, and the rumours that you have brought into this school." Professor McGonagall shouted, as I stood, lent up against a wall, inside her office. I really couldn't care less, to be honest, plus, if I left now, that would mean that I didn't have to do my N.E.W.T exams!

I left in a hurry, I didn't want to stay any longer than I had to. I said goodbye to Hermione, Ginny and Luna, my best friends, who stood by me, all these years, even when I turned out to be a Slytherin.

I was just about to go say goodbye to Hagrid, (at his house,) when I saw a shimmering light, shaped like a wolf in the distance near the edge of the woods, looking at me. I gotta say, it kinda freaked me out, but even so, I went to check it out, because me being me, I wanted to see, who had cast a patronus, that was so similar to mine.

I followed the wolf, it kept walking and stopping to look behind it, to see whether I was still there. I carried on following, until I stood before a circle of luminescent stuff. I looked at it, touching it to admire it, but my hand went straight through it, disappearing completely from view. I pulled it back, as the wolf I had followed walked straight through it, and didn't come back. Oh god, what if I died here? It could be a trap or something. I sighed and debated on whether or not I should go through. That was when I realised that I had nothing left to lose, so why the hell not? And, so I closed my eyes, and walked through.
