After I studied their features, they looked at me as if I were some kind of science experiment so I assumed that they were seeing what I looked like. "So why did you follow me? I mean you guys could have just waltzed up to me and said, 'Hey! By the way, you might be our sister but I don't know for sure so show me what you can do with your special powers!' Also why do I have a birthmark shaped like a leaf but I've been told that I'm the daughter of the fourth guardian of Nature,the one that controls water?" I asked. They all looked puzzled so I rolled up my sleeve and showed them my mark which I hadn't even looked at since that man at the pub. I looked at their faces and Myles was the first to speak up, "That is more then just a leaf." And pointed at it, I turned my head towards my arm and saw that my leaf had turned into a branch with four leaves on it. "Bloody hell." I whispered. "Language." Came a calm voice from behind us.
"Sorry Professor Dumbledore." I mumbled without taking my eyes from my birthmark. "He's been listening in on our conversation." I said aloud how did I know that? "Correct Kassidy. May I ask, how you knew that?" He answered. I looked up from my arm and to Dumbledore and said, "I dunno? Your very good at hiding the fact that you are a Legilimens. Right now you are trying and failing to read my mind." I gasped and said, "How did I know that?! And what is a Legilimens anyway?!?!" Oriana looked at me sympathetically and said softly, "It means that he can read people's minds." "Ummm... Could I just go to the dorm? I'm hungry and want to sleep and I'm exhausted. I also need my school schedule." I asked nervously. Dumbledore nodded yes and said that my schedule should be on my bed. I thanked him, said goodbye to my siblings, and after Dumbledore left I asked how old each of them were. Oriana answered, " I'm fourteen, Abderus is 12, and Myles is 16." "So I'm the youngest and Myles will leave Hogwarts next year?" I asked. Myles nodded and told me to get as much rest as I could before class started. I thanked them and turned back to the entrance of my dorm and said, "Pickle Puck." When it opened, I went to the left, went up the stairs, found my stuff, organized it, and then laid down and immediately went to sleep.
After I went to sleep I had a dream that was more of a nightmare. I was in a big field at twilight and there was the same man that had been in my dream the day I became a witch standing in front of the trees that completely surrounded me, I looked up and suddenly the sky was filled with ravens that quickly swooped down at me and started to pull my hair and peck at my skin. I screamed in agony and then awoke to Sean shaking me and yelling my name. My hair was white and I said to Sean, "I'm fine. I just had a bad dream, and my white hair represents fright." He let out a relieved sigh, sat down beside me, and said, " I came to the dorm as those kids were leaving and when I got inside I placed down the food on the table in the common room, expecting you to be in the loo, I turned around to leave and heard you scream. I jumped in fright and smacked my head on the entrance of the dorm," he pointed to his hairline which had a slight cut that was bleeding, "and ran up here to see you writhing in pain so I shook you and yelled your name." "Thanks for waking me up, and getting me food, and just plain being there for me." I said. I got up, went to the bathroom, got the first aid kit, and then headed back to Sean. "Man you hit your head hard." I said as I was cleaning his cut. I held my hand on it, not minding that I was getting blood on it, and reached for a bandage when he yelled, " OW! Kassidy I think you might have healed it." He pushed away my arm and, after I cleaned the blood off his forehead, I saw that he was right. His wound had completely healed, not leaving a scar nor a scab. My hair turned a deep shade of blue and Sean took a loose strand put it behind my ear, and said, " You are magical. You know that?" My hair along with my face turned a bright shade of pink, and when Sean laughed at my reaction to his complement I said aloud, "Wind! Make Sean's hair crazy and unmanageable for the rest of the day." Almost immediately his hair became crazy and I burst out laughing so hard that I rolled off the bed. "Hey! Take that back!" He yelled in a tone that sounded as if he were straining to not laugh. "I Can't Take It Back!" I said between gasps from laughing so hard.
When I stopped laughing, I dragged him downstairs so I could shovel my food into my mouth and try to get into class remotely on time when I noticed Matthew staring at the entrance to the girls dorm with hurt contorting his features. My hair turned red and when he saw that I was holding Sean's hand, ( To drag him downstairs.) his hurt turned to anger. "How could you?" He asked me. My hair went from red to silver in a matter of seconds. "For. The. Final. Time. I. Am. Not. Your. 'Love'." I seethed at him, quoting the word love. "Yes, you might make me blush, yes, I have feelings for you that I hate, but I despise you. You are really creepy and don't follow directions well because I specifically told you to go back to the dorm and what did you do? You followed me!" I took a deep breath and lowered my voice to a dangerously calm level and said, "You and me never had, nor will we ever, have a relationship besides the one as people who know each other's names. Got it?" I finished, my hands on my hips. "Plus you are wayyyyy to old for her dude. Your in your final year here and your trying to get with a first year who doesn't even know the limits to her own powers." Sean finished taking a step beside me, at that my hair turned purple and I said, " Deepest love" to Sean who had given me a puzzled look. Matthew looked as if he was about to burst into tears when he turned around to leave. He gave Sean an I'll-kill-you-as-soon-as-we're-alone look right before he crawled out of the dorm. I looked to the food and started to wolf it down while Sean was getting my schedule. When I finished, Sean was down with my books, ink, and my pen. He handed me my stuff along with my schedule which read:
Herbology
Potions
History of magic
Care of magical creatures
Flying lessons
Lunch
Charms
Transfiguration
Astronomy
Defense against the dark arts
Dinner
"Aw man! The only subject that I think I might be a tiny bit good in is before dinner! That means that I'll be focused on when we'll be getting food instead of what the professor is teaching! Ughhhhhh..." I said using my hands to drag down my face. "Well at least we're in the same classes together!" Sean said enthusiastically. I moaned and said, "I don't think I'll be too fond of that with your hair." "Hey! This," He used his hand to point at his messy hair "is entirely your fault!" I smiled and pulled him up then said, "On to Herbology!" "Yayyyy..." He responded sarcastically.Hey ma peeps! Oooooooooo drama! Heartbreak! Resentment! I wonder what I'll come up with for the next chapter! Hope you enjoyed! I'll try to update tomorrow but no promises. Byeeeeeee ✌🏼
