The raven haired woman cackled as she sliced Carly's hair off, but by bit. Not so beautiful now are we? Her screams rang through the Manor, but no one was there to hear. The woman laughed even harder as she waved her wand, bounding and gagging Carly so she would stay quiet now now love, wouldn't want the dark lord to hear his favorite pet screaming as her face came closer and closer, decaying teeth forming a smile
Carly awoke with a start, beads of sweat on her chest and head giving away her harsh breathing. The girls surrounding her were still deep asleep, which made it safe to assume it was very early. Carly groaned, picking up her watch off of her nightstand. 3:15. Greatttttt
Unsure if whether she was allowed to leave or not, Carly changed into some yoga pants and a sports bra (as it was still early in the season, it was not yet chilly outside) and left the dorm, determined to go for a jog to tire herself out again and take her mind off of the nightmare that so rudely awoke her. The common room was eerily quiet this time of night, so quiet that carly could not help but become a little frightened. This place is majorly creepy she thought to herself as she darted out of the portrait hole and did a jog towards the entrance hall. The dungeons were extremely dark this time of night and carly couldn't take the chance of frightening herself. If she did, her powers would give her away and she may get in trouble before her first day even began. It was halfway to the entrance hall that carly began to get lost, the hallways seemed very different in the dark. Don't panic, don't panic she told herself as she wandered the halls, searching for a familiar staircase that would take her up to the entrance hall. As she rounded a corner, she walked straight through a cold spot. That was..strange she thought and turned back to look at the spot she once came, to see a ghost! The menacing look on its face made carly believe she had just made a VERY wrong turn. It cackled, sending shivers down her spine.
Well look who I've found
wandering around
A student out of bed
And a slytherin
I should have known
It's your kind that I dread
The Ghost finished it's song, tossing random objects towards Carly as she screamed and ran into the nearest classroom for cover. Once the Door was shut, Carly clamped her eyes shut and gasped for air, trying to calm herself down. Her hands were trembling, giving off a faint orchestral sound that instantly filled the room.
She sat quietly for a few minutes, listening to the orchestra die down as well as the sounds of cackling and smashing glass from the hallway. When she knew the ghost was gone, she opened her eyes.
Carly looked around the room, surveying what she could in the dim lighting from a candle lit on an unoccupied desk strewn with papers. Carly thought it was odd for a candle to be lit, but didn't question is as she examined the cauldrons stacked on a nearby table. This must be the potions classroom then carly thought out loud
That. it. is. came a deep voice from behind her
