you jump at the sound of gasps, looking around you and seeing a bunch of students watching you with worried expressions. you're confused, until you look down and see Pansy on the ground, looking up at you with her hand on her nose, covered in blood.

you look down at your right hand, your knuckles already bloody and bruised.

"did i do this?" you ask her, watching her scoff loudly, "duh you psycho!" she shouts.

you watch Professor McGonagall push through the crowd, "excuse me students!". she stops when she sees the sight of you standing over Pansy with your knuckles dripping. "Ms Parkinson, are you okay?" "no! she hit me professor, she's crazy!"

"y/n... are you alright?" McGonagall asks, you nodding in response. "come with me" she holds her hand out, watching you hesitantly walk over to her. she places her hand on your shoulder while guiding you away from the scene.

you hold your bruised knuckles in your opposite hand, trying to figure out why you did that, and how you don't remember doing it.

you're sitting in Dumbledore office waiting, Professor McGonagall waiting with you. Dumbledore and Professor Snape walk in the room in a hurry, causing you to jump up from your seat. "miss y/l/n... are you alright?" Dumbledore asks, seeing your hands bloody.

"i think so..." "can you tell me what happened?" he asks calmly, Snape giving off a judgemental look. "i... i don't remember" "you don't remember?" "no... i know it sounds crazy but i don't remember hitting her..." "what do you remember?"

you think deeply, starting to remember something, a conversation.

"hey y/n!" you had heard a females voice shout, you had turned around to see Pansy walking toward you.

"yes?" you asked curiously. "why have you been so... extra distant toward me lately?" "i'm not i just don't like you. you did try to hex me once" "that's life, get over it. that can't be all" "why do you care? you don't even like me either"

"yeah... so?" "now i'm confused..." "why are you so suddenly in a rush to leave when i'm around? what do you know?" you had gone silent at this point, and this is where the memory ends.

"okay... so you had a conversation with her. you don't remember what was said after that?" Dumbledore asks, his tone curious yet calm. "no... i don't professor, i'm sorry". "alright... we will send you to the hospital wing to get your hand bandaged, just let me know if you remember what happened at all"

"i will..." you whisper, leaving the room with the guidance of Professor McGonagall. you're sitting in the hospital wing getting your hand iced, seeing Pansy walk in the room. "what is she doing here? she did far worse to me!" she shouts while being pulled out of the room.

you try your hardest to remember what happened, but after she asked what you know... it's blank. you're starting to worry about what's happening to you. maybe it's an effect of Draco being gone so long, but you doubt it.

you start walking back to your room, your knuckles all bandaged up, when you see everyone in the hall start to stare. you feel nervous having so many eyes on you, walking through the crowd to try get back to your room.

very suddenly, you drop to your knees on the ground, causing students to jump back in fear. you scream loudly at the pain you're starting to feel in your head, holding onto it with your bandaged hands. Harry rushes through the crowd, sitting infront of you on his knees and grabbing a hold of your face.

"what is it?" he asks, your breath extremely heavy. "I don't kno-" you scream again, the pain getting worse. you start to vision something.

"what do you know?" "i know what you did to Draco..." "and what did i do to him?" Pansy laughs. you felt a build up of anger in you, a voice in your head that you recognised but couldn't put your finger on in the moment. "she hurt someone close to you... she deserves to feel the same pain he did" the voice says.

you had watched her laughing, and that's when you threw the first punch. she had fallen to the ground, but you got on top of her and tied her hands down so she couldn't fight back, hitting her repeatedly. you were pulled off of her before you could do any serious damage, and that's when you had snapped out of it.

you gasp, looking Harry in the eye. "what's wrong with me?" you ask with tears in your eyes, before you begin screaming again, falling onto your side.

"walk to the nearest tower" the voice had told you. for some reason, you listened. you put the book you were reading down, and walked to the nearest tower. you walked up to the railing, looking down at the view below. "now... jump" the voice said loudly, but you found a way to hesitate.

"why?" "because i told you to, you can see your parents this way, end everyone's suffering including your own. jump" and that's when Blaise caught you.

"something is controlling me" you say to Harry, your voice breaking. "it's okay..." Harry whispers. he tries to help you up off the ground, but before he can try, he drops too. "ow!" he shouts, holding his head. "what is it?" you ask, covered in sweat and feeling the after pain reside in your head.

"my scar..." he whispers.
