Leah Riddle: Riddle me This (Book 2)

Chapter 31

"What are you talking about?" I asked in frustration. I tried turning my head to see my back, but I couldn't.

 "What does that even mean?" Pansy frowned.

 "It's nothing that concerns you," father said calmly.

 "It concerns me! What are you talking about?" I asked with a glare.

 "We will have much to talk about. It is Tuesday so I'll see you Saturday," he said, and then disappeared.

 "Alright what is on my back?" I asked, and then saw a full length mirror. I turned around I looked back at the mirror, examining my lower back. It wasn't hard to find; right in the center of my lower back actually. It was semi large and very noticeable. The lightening shaped scar that now marked my body.

 "What the fuck?" I yelled and pulled my shirt down as Madame Pomfrey rushed in.

 "Miss Riddle, you're awake!" she said, seeming flustered.

 "Yes, can I go back to my dorm?" I asked with a frown.

 "It's three in the morning!" she exclaimed.

 "Thanks for the update, see you tomorrow morning!" 

I pulled Draco and Pansy out of the infirmary, regardless of Pomfrey's protests. 

  "Wait so...you had a vision because of that scar?" Pansy asked.

"I don't know. I think?"

"Well, you see, a day after you fainted... Potter had a sort of episode that involved his scar. Do you think there's a connection?" Pansy asked uneasily.

 "Not at all," I said coolly.

 "Listen, do not tell anyone about it okay?" I asked and they both nodded. We walked into the common room and I saw the candles that surrounded Alex's portrait glowing faintly. It was quite dark seeing as everyone was asleep and I turned to my two friends.

 "I want to try out for Quidditch," I said firmly and they exchanged glances.

 "Leah, your father wants you to rest," Pansy frowned.

 "I don't care," I shrugged.

 "Well I do," Draco said.

 "Too bad," I shrugged.

 "You've never even practiced before, you don't have a broom, you don't know the rules, and do you even know what spot you'll try out for?" Draco asked with his eyebrows raised.

 "I don't need to practice, I'll borrow a broom, I can learn the rules tonight, and once I learn the rules I'll decide what I want to try out for," I shot back.

 "It's Tuesday, we have lessons tomorrow and you want to stay up learning Quidditch?" Draco asked in surprise.

 "Let's do it," I nodded. Draco sighed and shook his head, getting out a few books and pieces of parchment. I took that time to feed Hydra and grab parchment and a quill.

     Dear Mother,

 I don't know if father told you, but I passed out for a week. I am fine, it was just because I was so worn out. I just need rest, which is impossible during my O.W.L. year, but again, I'll be fine. Quidditch try outs are tomorrow and I'm so excited. After learning the rules all night, I'm going to try out. Do not worry about me, whether I'm flying or studying because I have my friends to keep an eye on me. Riley is back and being held prisoner, which I will take care of later, and I do have something rather odd to discuss with you. I miss you very much and cannot wait until winter holiday to see you.
