The weeks went past and Tris was happy with her life at Hogwarts. She became closer to one boy in particular, Tobias Eaton, a boy in Hufflepuff who like the same things that she did. She often spent her weekends with him doing any work they needed to do and getting to know one another. They were both on the quidditch team for their houses and both supported Puddlemere United outside of school. They had some lessons together, and they were progressing through their work quickly, especially in charms where there was so much to learn. Halloween on the Friday, and today was a Thursday before. Tris said goodbye to Tobias and left to go to her common room.

On her way there, she came across three Slytherins- she recognised them as Malfoy, Crabbe and Snow. They were the so called 'bullies' of the first year, but Harry had met them and knew that they were just purebloods who thought too highly of themselves. Crabbe was the bodyguard of the other two boys. However, as Tris was on her own, she realised that this wasn't the best situation to be in.

"Hey there, half-blood!" Taunted Malfoy from across the hallway. "What are you doing walking down here?" Crabbe chuckled to himself, even though Tris didn't even know if it was meant to be funny or not.

"Coming back from the library. Duh" She told them quietly. Just as they began to move over to her, Professor Snape entered the corridor and they scampered away, leaving her to go to sleep, ready for halloween the next day.

Once lessons were over, everyone started to go to the hall for the feast. However, John stayed behind to catch up on his potions (Gah, supid Snape not lettin him go). Luckily, he wouldn't miss the feast, just the boring first few minutes of it. Finally finishing his cough potion, he walked outside to go to the main hall to join the other students. He turned a corner into an empty corridor.

Or he thought it was empty.

In the middle of the corridor was another girl, hanging in the air with her mouth and eyes wide open. John froze, just like last time, before turning around. He could hear someone coming up behind him, a teacher. It was Professor Dumbledor.

Great. John thought. Of all the people to come in and see me here.

"Professor! It- I didn't! I just- walking... she was here... I didn't do it!" He said, still in shock. This didn't look good for him, being discovered by the victims just after they'd been attacked.

"You were just... Walking. And you saw her here?" He asked. John nodded. It was at this point that Sherlock came in to the corridor from the other end, completely missing the fact that there was a person floating in the air.

"Ah, John, there you are. I didn't feel like eating, and without you there to force me, I decided to come back. Oh, good eivening Professor" He said, finally looking up. In doing this, he also saw the girl. His mouth opened and he looked at John, confusion on his face. "John? What are you doing here... Next to her?" He asked. John replied a quick explanation from the potions class to here, and Sherlock nodded, before going over to examine the girl.

"Susan Bones, 2nd year, hit by the same dark magic curse as before... Oh that's intresting." He mused over something. Professor Dumbledor coughed quietly and the first years looked up at him.

"I do believe, Mister Watson, that this is a case of wrong place wrong time, but we will be looking into this. You don't seem the type to... Well, I'll take her to the hospital. I'd suggest you go to bed now." He finished, before levitating Susan off to the hospital wing. As the boys walked back to the Ravenclaw Tower, John began to talk to Sherlock.

"It wasn't me, I swear!" He began before Sherlock cut him off.

"I know that, John." He told him in a quick voice, still thinking over what he had just seen. "What is it with their hair? What use is hair?" Dramatically, he entered his 'room' and slammed the door behind him. He had long since finished his extra room, and slept there every morning. John sighed and went to bed, thinking about what everyone else would thing about him when they found out the next morning.
