Ramona Riddle - Dark Lord's daughter (On Hold)

Friends and secrets

CHAPTER 25

When we get to the Black Lake it was 4pm and I was getting tired. God, I could sleep for my entire life! SLEEP FOR EVER!

Hey, this sould be my new motto!

I sat down on the grass next to Hermione and Harry. When we were sitting here, near the Lake I remembered my first week on Hogwarts, when Draco and mua were sitting there. And then Dracks told me that he's in love with me.

And he doesn't know that I like Fred.

Crap, he's going to be very sad when he will found out. I mustn't tell him about my crush on Fred. Never. Or he'll get hurt and I don't want to cause pain to my friends.

If someone will hurt Pans or Dracks I'll slap him in his face. And then I'll use the Cruciatus Curse on him. And to finish the thing: avada kedavra.

So, you better don't tuch Pansy or Draco.

''So,'' Hermione said, seriously, turning to face me. I looked at her. Her brown eyes were cold like never before. What was going on with her? Why is she looking at me like that? I didn't kill anybody.

You know. I didn't mean it literally.

Harry looked at me with an interested look. ''Ramona. You have to tell us what was going on between the Transfiguration class. Your behavior wasn't normal!'' Hermione said, her voice becoming worried. I flipped my hair (just for fun). ''Mione, I'm not normal so...'' I started my usuall answer but she interrupted me, jumping up. ''Ramona! For once answer me without teasing! We are seriously getting worried for you!'' She was almost yelling. I was completely shocked.

This...was my friend Hermione Jean Granger? I never heard her talking in this tone.

''Hermione...calm down and I'll tell you every...everything,'' I said, wishing that I could not tell them. Hermione took a deep breath, sitting down on the grass. ''OK then. Tell us, Ramona. You were acting...weirdly,'' she said with her eyes, pointed to me. I took a deep breath too and then I told them:

''You know that new guy, Morrison?'' They all nodded in silence, waiting me to continue. ''Well, it's his fault that in this days I'm even more strange than usual. We two can...we can communicate in our minds. Yes, I know that that's nothing strange,'' I added when Ron oppened his mouth to say something. ''But...well, he can use Legilimency even when I Occlude my mind and this is not normal! I'm brilliant at Legilimency and Occlumency, my father taught me everything about every kind of magic. And before you ask, 'Mione, yes, I can conjure a Patronus and I master all of Unforgivable Curses. And, again, before you ask, my Patronus is a cat, Ron,'' I said, rolling my eyes. They were all listening to me with their mouth open.

I think that they really didn't expected this. The connection between Morrison and me, I mean.

''So, can I continue with my 'problem'?'' I asked them, sighing. They nodded without saying a word. ''OK then. As I said, there is a connection between this creepy guy and me. But I have no idea why and how is this possible. I mean, why him? Why not Fr...'' I interuppted my self just in time to prevent absurd questions.

My cheeks get red a bit but I quickly continued: ''Anyway guys, this is my problem: the Morrison guy. You have no idea how annoying he is! He 'reads my mind' 24 hours a day, he talk to me almost all day and I feel as my mind is not just...mine,'' I said, frustrated.

I fell on the soft grass, looking up at the sky. ''Why is my life so frustrating? And weird?'' I asked silently. My friends were silent. Then I felt someone's hands around my neck. I looked down. Hermione was hugging me. ''Hey, 'Mione...'' I started but she interuppted me: ''Oh, Ram! I couldn't imagine that you have such a big problem! I mean, I really don't know what would I do in your case! But you must know that we will be always with you!'' she said, almost crying. I hugged her back, feeling a bit strange. ''Uhm...thanks, 'Mione. Thanks guys,'' I said, looking to all of them.
