(Ophelia's POV)
Finally after a long day and after dinner we were all heading down to our dorms when the floor was soaked with water

"Myrtle flooded the bathroom, again" Pansy groans. We keep walking down the wet hallway. Potter, Granger and Weasley were standing in the middle looking at the wall.

"Is-is that blood" I whisper holding on to Draco's sleeve.

"That's Mrs.Norris" Blaise points at the cat hanging from its tail

"Is it dead?" Pansy nervously asks

"Dunno" I nervously say

"Enemies of the heir beware?" Draco reads the blood covered wall aloud and quickly turns to the three Gryffindors

"The heir of Slytherin?" I whisper into Draco's ear

"You'll be next mudbloods" he glares at Granger and I smack him in the back of the head

"What" he whispers defensively

Before I can scold him Mr.Filch pushes past some Gryffindors

I shoot Granger an apologetic look. She's taken aback for a second but weakly smiles until Filch pushes her aside

"What's going on here?"  he mumbles in his raspy voice

"Uh oh" Eliott whispers

"Yeah..uh oh" I say biting my lip. Mrs.Norris is precious to Mr.Filch. If Mrs.Norris is dead he'll blame Potter and his friends. After the car incident and the beginning of the year, they could be expelled.

"Go on. Make way, make way" he groans as he pushes to the front of the crowd

"Potter...what are you d-" he notices his cat hanging on wall

"Mrs.Norris...you've..murdered my cat?" He asks

"I'll kill ya.."

"I'LL KILL YA" he yells

"ARGUS" Dumbledore shouts, we all move to the side for Dumbledore and the rest of the professors to reach Potter and Mr.Filch

"Argus I-" he notices the cat and blood on the wall

"Everyone...will proceed to the dormitories immediately" he calmly says and all four houses go our separate way and we go downstairs to the slytherin common room

"What does that mean? Enemies of the heir beware?" Blaise asks as we sit down on the leather couches.

"Who the hell is the heir? And what enemies?" Pansy thinks aloud

"We kind of have an idea, but we have to wait until everyone else is gone" I whisper

Finally the last student leaves the common room and up to bed
"Ok..talk" Pansy says turning to face us

We check if anyone was still around, once we made sure there was no one in the room we started explaining

"So..when Phelia was staying at the Manor with me and my parents we heard them talking"

"They were talking about..the heir..the heir of slytherin" Draco says

"And how..this has happened before" I state

"The enemies of the heir are.." he glances at me before continuing

"Muggle-borns" he looks down

"We didn't hear much but they did mention it being really dangerous..especially to Potter" I add.

"Woah" Blaise says

"Wait so since when have you known" Pansy asks

"Since..the beginning of summer" I recall
