When we finally made it to Hogsmeade, we decided to find Lucius. "Where the hell is he?" I groaned, tired of looking for him already.

"Ky, we've been out here for approximately three minutes. Chill," Cassie said.

We finally found him talking with Narcissa, another Slytherin. She was pretty nice. Without him noticing, we snuck up behind him. Motioning to Narcissa not to say anything, I grabbed his shoulders. "Boo," I snickered.

"Wha-? Oh, it's.....um.... that one girl who almost messed up Potter's streak. Oh, and you know Severus." He awkwardly introduced us to Narcissa. I stuck my hand out for him to shake and he flinched. 

I rolled my eyes. "I'm not going to slap you, stupid. My name's Kyara." Tentatively, he shook my hand. I shook Narcissa's hand too.

Then we all went into Honeydukes Sweet-shop. Which was not a good idea.

'Cause later, back at Hogwarts, I was insisting that if I jumped off the North tower, the Giant Squid would rescue me. And to prove my point, I jumped into the Black Lake. And so did Lucius and Cissy.

Sev stayed behind, grinning at our stupidity. 

"Get in!" I shouted at him. "The water's warm. And clean. Took like, what, four spells? C'mon!"

By the time we came out of the lake, it was late and most people had gone to dinner. With a flick of my wand, we were all dry. With another wave, Cissy's and I had all our makeup returned to their original places. By that I mean on our faces.

By now the sugar high had crashed an left us exhausted, so we went to dinner, with around fifteen minutes to eat. I sat at the the Slytherin table, ignoring the strange looks people continued to shoot at me. I'm used to them, anyway.

Three of my closest friends are Slytherin, anyway (being Sev, Narcissa, and Lucius). One Gryffindor (Lily), and one Ravenclaw (Cassie).

After a few minutes of eating (stuffing my face), Sev elbowed me in the side. I looked at him. He swallowed, and said to me, "The moon is bright tonight."

Shit. The full moon. I informed Lucius that we were leaving, and tugged on my coat (the one that smells like boy), and ran outside. I cast the transparency spell so strongly that I was basically invisible. 

Oh, and I case you're wondering about my vow not to tell anyone, and how Sev does, it's simple. Long story short, he was there when it happened.

It started out a normal play-date, then turned into a sleepover. We asked his parents if he could stay over, and his father had said, and I quote, "I wouldn't care if you kidnapped that useless child."

So we had a sleepover. He slept on a blow up mattress in my room. At about one in the morning, we heard the the door fall off it's hinges.

Severus, being smart, called for me to follow him and jumped out the window. Our house was a one story building and he was fine.

But I was petrified with fear. After that, everything kind of blended together, like a horrible milkshake. I guess my brain thought so, too, cause it pretty much threw the memory out. But you know when you pour a smoothie into the sink, some bits stay in you cup? It's like that. The worst bits stay.

But I have other thing on my mind at the moment. I was about to pass the Whomping Willow when I slammed into something. It was warm. And soft. And alive.

The air rippled and four boys appeared out of what seemed to be nothing. The Marauders. They looked around. I stayed still, hoping they wouldn't realize what had happened. But Remus caught on.

The stupid, clever idiot.

I assumed he had heard my heavy breathing as he moved toward me. He shouted a spell I had never heard before and I felt as if I had walked through a ghost.

I was no longer invisible.

Heyyyyy, guys. Uhm, so yeah. I'm terrible at writing, I know. Sorry.
