Asheley walks off the school grounds towards the forest. In the distance she sees a little hutch on the edge of the grounds with smoke coming out. She ignores it as she keeps walking towards the forest.

"I'm glad you decided to show. i was beginning to wonder if you were gonna show or not." The shadow spoke as he steps out of the shadows revealing it was Professor Quirrell, the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

"What are you doing out here, Professor?" Asheley asked a little more than just a little confused.

"There is someone who wishes to meet you, My Dear." He said as he began to unravel his turban showing a person on the back of his head.

"Ah, the lovely niece of Miss Bellatrix Lestrange, Miss Asheley Black."

Asheley took a step back not sure rather to run or stay.

"H-h-how do you know who I am?" She asked the fear lacing her words and you can hear the fear thick in her voice.

"Your Aunt Bellatrix is a very good friend of ours." The face said trying to show a smile.

"Okay...why did you wish to meet me? And who are you?"

"You don't know who the Dark Lord is?! Yet you call yourself Bellatrix's Niece!"

"Hush you bumbling idiot. My dear Asheley, your aunt has spoken so highly of you. Your power, your knowledge, and most of all you ability for spells. After hearing so much about you, I wanted to meet you myself. So that maybe we could work together and achieve the greater good."

"Okay, but that still doesn't tell me who you are." Asheley said with more confidence in her voice.

"My name is Volde-" He was getting ready to speak his name when they heard someone coming.

"Who's there?" said a very tall man with a dog at his side feet and a big lantern in his hand.

"Who are you?" Asheley asked holding her hand up shielding her eyes form the light.

"A student? What are you doing here? Its passed your curfew." He said holding the lantern down more so it wasn't in her eyes.

"I was meeting someone out here. Ron? Harry? Herminie? What are you doing here?" She asked looking at them.

"We came to see Hagrid." Harry said smiling.

"Who?" She asked.

"Reubus Hagrid at your service. I'm the grounds keeper here at Hogwarts. But you all need to hurry up and get to the quarters before you get in too much trouble." He 

said as he rushed the kids towards the school ground.

The Next Day

The school day goes really quickly. Asheley is trying to focus on her school but was also trying to figure out who the person was.

After class Asheley went to the library to do some research on her aunt. She didnt realize how long she had been there until the keep told her it was close to curfew.

"Crap!" Asheley said as she grabbed the books she was studying and rushed towards her dorm.

As she rushed into the Slytherin common room heading towards the girls corridor she accidentally bumped into Draco causing her to drop the books. Draco reached down to help her pick up the books when he noticed they were about Bellatrix and the Black family history.

"Why are you looking up information on your aunt?" Draco asked curiously.

"I'm not. And if I was it's none of your business." Asheley responded a little crappy as she quickly grabbed the rest of the book and ran up the stairs towards her room.
