Whispers

Missing muggles

"Go away."
Clara yawned as Melody poked her.
"Well, considering I just brought you back from the dead, that's not the thanks I was hoping for."
Clara sat up in the hospital bed. It was Saturday, the day after the full moon.
"I was sleeping."
She yawned again.
"Hey. It's six. You should be getting up. Dinner started fifteen minuted ago. Madame Pomfrey says you can go."
Clara nodded. She hadn't hurt as badly as Remus, since she used her rage against a tree, and not her self. Her hands were scratched and heavily bandaged, as was her leg where she tore it against the tree. However, Remus' whole face was pretty much covered with white strips of cloth.
"So, you coming?"
Melody asked.
"Fine."
Clara pulled the screen around the bed and changed into her robes.
"Okay, let's go."
Melody started to say but Madam Pomfrey stopped them.
"Let me just record that Ms. Black has recovered..."
A few minutes later they were racing through the halls.
"No one to stop us from running. Race you!"
Melody had shouted. Clara laughed and chased after her.
"Dinner's over in a few minutes. Let's head to the kitchen."
Melody said as they passed the Great Hall.
"Or we could just have pudding."
Clara said.
"I second that idea."
Melody turned around and followed her.

Later that night in the common Melody attacked her homework with some help from Lily.
"Why are the three unforgivable curses unforgivable."
Lily read the title.
"Well. you've got the first part."
Lily laughed. Melody glared at her.
"I just need you to tell me what the three unforgivable curses are and then you can go back to reading the Evening Prophet."
Melody stated.
"The Killing curse...."
Lily listed the three.
"There. Let me read!"
Lily unfolded the paper. Clara and Rose started a game of chess while Marla was no where to be seen.
"Hello there Evans."
A voice came over from the fire place.
"Go away Potter."
Clara and Rose stopped there game.
"Let's see if this can get any worse."
Rose said interestingly.
"So, on the notice board,"
James said.
"Yes?"
Lily turned the page of the newspaper.
"It says the next Hogsmeade trip is at the end of this month..."
"No."
Lily turned the page again.
"Will you go out with me- you didn't even let me ask you!"
James half shouted.
"I'd rather date the giant squid. At least it's not an arrogant toe-rag like you."
James scowled.
"I'll try again later."
Lily rolled her eyes.
"There's a muggle family missing in London."
Lily said worriedly.
"There's more disappearances every day."
Rose and Clara had continued their game.
"It's nothing."
Ross said trying to get her pawn to squash Clara's knight. How Clara got herself in that situation she didn't know.
"Squash him, you weak little- Sorry Lily, I see the first years!"
Lily glared at Rose.
"Anyway, I think there should be some worry with all these disappearances."
Lily said and set the paper on the side table.
"Oh, shut it you. No, not you Lily! My queen's going on strike. Sorry?"
Clara looked up. Lily sighed in a very exasperated way.
"Never mind. I'll tell you later."
