"Amber! Wait up!" Someone called, as I was walking to the library.

I turned around only to see the Ferret himself.

"Yes, Draco?" I ask him.

"Why did you do it?" He asked.

"Do what?"

"You know what I mean," He replied.

"I told Teddy..." I admitted.

"Is that why he isn't talking to you anymore. He's been really quiet lately."

"That's why..."

"What are you going to do for the first deed?" He asked in a whisper.

"I don't know... I'm still trying to figure out who told the Prophet in the first place," I relied.

"I'll help you," Draco offered.

"Really? Thank you so much!!!" I whisper yelled in thanks.

"Yeah, tell me your ideas."

"Well, for the first one I wanted to do something to make someone who works here happy. I was think Madame Prince. Like get her all new, first edition books..."

"Maybe, but she already has like the whole library filled with those. Do something for Filch," He suggested.

"That's a great idea!!! Why did I think of that!!! I have to go... Lot's to do!" I hurried back to my dorm, taking out my spell books, and starting to plan.

2 Days later:

It was done!!! I had completed the first task. I knew that everyone else knew what the "Shadow Girl" did by the loud talking from the Great Hall. The Great Hall is always loud, yes, but today it was like everyone was screaming.

I walked in and hear so many questions being passed around, like Who is she? Why is she doing this? Can we really trust her, though? I bet she's a Slytherin... and my personal favorite, Do you think she'll like it if I send her some pie? (The answer is yes. Send me pies.)

I sat down in my usual seat and was quickly found by my midnight black owl, Lunar. I stroked her feathers as she dropped my morning paper on my plate. I've always had a special connection with animals. I can speak to them, tame them. Even snakes. Even unicorns. Even dragons.

I picked up the paper and stared at the headline: Shadow Girl Makes First Mark. I read on. 

As promised, the Shadow Girl has done her first weekly deed. What did she do, you may ask. She has given the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry caretaker, Argus Filch, an office makeover (To see pictures go to page 2), extra pocket money, a whole new wardrobe, and a cat to keep Mrs.Norris (Filch's beloved feline) company. Not only that, he is said to have been given a moving map of Hogwarts, which can only be accessible if you say the correct password. There have been rumors that it is the same one Harry Potter had, but when asked, Mr. Potter told us that his map was still in his possession, not giving away anymore details.

Anyways, in an interview with Filch he has said, "Everything given was really needed, especially everything for Mrs.Norris." Filch has a record of being hostile to students, and as a squib, jealous of magical power. We wonder, what this planned between the two? Can we trust Filch? Can we trust Shadow Girl?

She also left a note in Filch's office. We have kindly been allowed to share it with you, our readers:

Dear Mr. Filch,

I can tell that you clearly are the most taken-for-granted teacher in this school. You clean up all our messes and you make sure that we all are safe and follow the rules. You walk the corridors ever single night (btw, when do you sleep!?!) and you are out in the day as well, making sure none of the students are skipping class. I know that you have been pranked (The Weasleys), deceived (The Golden Trio), lied to (The Weasleys), Tricked (The Weasleys), and yet no one gives you appreciation which you deserve. Until now.

I've organized your office, given you 5000 galleons (In your top left drawer), and look in the corner. It is a small white kitten by the of name Shiro. I hope he and Mrs. Norris will become good friends in the future. I've given you cat toys, food and some cat nip, just for the fun of it.

I hope you enjoy everything, 

Sincerely, 

                 Xx Shadow Girl  xX

We'll see what happens next week. Remember, if she does another deed, don't hesitate to tell us all. See you tomorrow, my dear readers. xoxo

I grin. I need to begin planning once again. But I need help this time... Draco's help...
