Chapter 8

I skip down the halls to my first class of the day, transfiguration. My mind racing as i think of what just happened. Me and Ron kissed! My smile reappears as I walk into the class and sat down at my seat. I pull out my books and people watch as students enter the class and chat with each other till the class starts. I flipped to the lesson we would be doing and waited for Professor to start the lesson. As i waited a girl i had never seen walked up to me. Her eyes seemed a bit glossy and she looked to be almost sleeping. She has a piece of paper in her hand.

"This is for you." she said as she put the paper down on my desk and walked out of the classroom. At this time Ron, Harry, and Hermione entered the classroom and sat down. I looked down at the piece of paper in my hand with curiosity.

"What's that you got there?" Asked Ron from beside me.

I continued to look at the paper and opened it as i answered "i have no idea." Harry and Hermione, who were sitting behind us leaned in to get a better look as i quietly read it outloud.

"She is alive." i read.

"What? Who is alive?" asked Harry

My mind was spinning all i could think about was the "Samantha" carved onto my bed. Who wrote this? I needed to know. Without thinking i got up from my chair. "I'm sorry professor, but i don't feel well." and i walked out of the class.

"Mrs Santos!" Mcgonagall called after me.

"I'm going to vomit!" i called back, i didn't like to lie, but this was an emergency. I needed to find the girl who gave me the note. I raced down the halls popping my head into each classroom, ignoring the confused looks from each teacher. Finally i looked inside the Divination class where is spotted her. She looked much different, more awake. She was sitting with another girl i hadn't met, but I think her name was Rosanna. Okay i found her, but how do i get her over here without disrupting the class. I thought for a moment and an idea came to me. Maybe i could disrupt the class, not get in trouble, and get this girl over here.

"I'M HAVING A VISION!" I yelled extremely dramatically from the doorway. The whole class turned toward me, obviously very confused. I closed my eyes and held out my hands. "I see a girl, with brown hair, brown eyes and lots of freckles. I see her by, a red flower? Oh a rose! And i see her and I are connected." i said in a spooky voice, i walked over to where i remembered her sitting, eyes still closed.

"Oh miss Santos, i knew you had the rare gift!" exclaimed Professor Trelawney.

I opened my eyes and turned towards the girl, she looked bewildered. "It's you!" i exclaimed, i grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the class.

"What the bloody hell are you doing?" she said trying to get out of my grasp.

Once we were a little ways from the classroom i let go and turned towards her. "Why did you give me that note?" i said

She rolled her eyes "I didn't give you a note you freak." she crossed her arms and frowned at me.

"Don't play dumb, you gave it to me right before my Transfiguration class." i said angrily.

"No i didn't! I don't know what you are talking about, i've never even talked or seen you other than right now, just chill out and let me get back to my class." she turned away to go but i grabbed her arm again.

"Okay what were you doing at 8:45 am today?" i asked

'I was..." she stopped and looked up confused. "I don't know." she no longer tried to get away from my grasp so i let go. Her eyes darted back and forth as she looked at the ground. "I can't remember anything after i came up from the dungeons. I just remember walking down the halls to the great hall and then..." she frowned, "then nothing, fuzz."

I looked into her eyes trying to see if she was lying, but she just seemed a bit freaked out. "Okay thanks anyway, ill let you get back to class." i said absentmindedly, i tried to think of what could have happened, how could someone just forget and hour of their day?

As i walked back to Transfiguration i tried to figure it out with little success. I couldn't pay very much attention in class as i stared at the note, its three words taunting me she is alive.

After class Harry, Ron, and Hermione questioned me on our way to divination. I told them everything, and once i had finished i looked back at them expectantly, Ron and Harry looked just as confused as i felt, but Hermione had a very worried look on her face. "What is it Mione?" i asked.

The worried looked stayed as she replied. "Well, not to make anyone worried, but that sounds an awful lot like..." she paused and looked around.

"Spit it out! Sounds like what?" said Ron

"It sounds like... someone who is suffering from the effects of an Imperious curse. But that's an illegal spell, i doubt any student would do it."

"Well what if it wasn't a student." i said.

I've been making really long ones lately so i thought i'd just do a short lil one. we are now getting into the good parts!
