The Journey

Teaching

(Fred's POV)

I was walking to my class as I heard Hugo coming up to me. (Fred hears voices: Oh. Well imagine.)

"There you are!" He smiled. "You're gonna be late."

"Man, I keep hearing these voices they're really faint though..." ( Fred hears voices: As I'm pacing the pew in a church corridor.)

"I heard that in your fourth year, you're supposed to hear things about your soulmate." He grinned.

"Hahah! That's just a rumor Hugo." He rolled his eyes. (Fred hears voices: And I can't help but to hear. No, I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words.)

"Hahah. I know. I'm just kidding, it's probably one of the ghosts. " He smiles.

"Yeah, probably. They like doing that." (Fred hears voices: What a beautiful wedding. What a beautiful wedding says a brides maid to a waiter. And yes, but what a shame. What a shame the poor groom's bride is a whore.)

( Scorpius's POV)

"Her eyes are freaking scary. Why was she sitting with you?" I fellow Slytherin asked.

"I was trying to help her out. Told her a way they'd be less noticeable." He shrugged.

"You know there's rumors that you're adopting a Hufflepuff right? Her? I don't even know how she got Hufflepuff. She was related to a Death Eater." She looked in disgust.

"And what's wrong with being related to a Death Eater exactly Sierra?" He turned around growling in her face.

"N-Nothing, I was just saying. It's weird she's not a Slytherin like her ancestors." She shrugged.

(Back to the Hufflepuff common room.)

I was lying on the bed when it felt like forever went by. Someone shook me back to reality. I really should be researching. Or getting a nurse to look at my eyes...but I made a promise.

I sat up almost immediately.

"Hey? You okay?" She asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine." It was Hannah she was back.

"So. Twila said in return for muggle lessons, she'd give me snack lessons." I sat up rubbing my face.

"Okay. Cool. So. This first object is a pencil. It works sort of like your Quils." I said pulling out a wooden stick. "There are different type of pencils." I creeped around the curtains to change into my Pjs.

"There are those ones, which are called number two pencils. And then there are mechanical ones. I prefer the mechanical ones." After a moment I walked out to see them drawing on sheets of paper with them. Writing their names, as well as mine.

"This is so cool!" Hannah smiled.

"Now, say that tip were to get too dull or were to break like this." I snapped the tip of it off. I pulled out a hand sharpener. "This is to sharpen it to bring the point back. There's a few of these here. Ones with containers to catch the mess, electric, and also ones that only have this little piece at the end." I said pointing to a metal piece inside the sharpener.

"That's so cool!" They took turns sharpening the pencil in amazement.

I also taught them about phones, and computers as much as I could. That's when Twila pulled out a big bag candies. She showed me chocolate frogs, and these weird candies that I guess are supposed to make you sound like your spirit animal???

"Here. Try this." She grinned big, as Hannah did too. Excited to hear what my spirits animal was. So, I popped it in my mouth nervously and only seconds later I began howling. I must be a wolf. Hannah looked amazed as she ate hers next.

She started hooting like an owl. It seemed to fit. Then Twila was not really wanting to eat want but we made her.

"Oh, come on! I wanna hear." I shrugged.

"Fine!" She popped it in her mouth and next thing we knew she began hissing like a snake. We were a little...a lot caught off guard.

"That's cool." I shrugged. Did she know? Is that why she was so hesitant on eating it? She seems...weird to me. I don't know who I can really trust here yet. Besides Albus that is. We laid down and after Twila was out cold I whispered to Hannah.

"PST. Hey? Can you show me the hospital tomorrow?" I asked.

"Yeah sure. It's not about your eyes is it?" She said sadly. "You're not gonna put contacts in like he said to right? Whatever those are?"

"Yeah it's about my eyes. No. I'm not putting contacts in." I sighed. I made sure my earbuds were in right and blasted the music as loud as it would go.

(Fred sitting in his room, lying in bed)

(Fred hears voices: Because they took our love and they filled it up. Filled it up with novocaine and now I'm just numb.)

"Are you okay Fred?" Hugo rubbed his eyes hearing the thud from him hitting the floor. He was rubbing his head.

"Uh. Yeah." (Fred hears voices: And now I'm just numb. And don't mind me, I'm just a son of a gun.So don't stop, don't stop 'till your heart goes numb) He picked himself up climbing back up to the top bunk.

"Maybe you should tell McGonagall about the voices? Maybe she can't get the ghosts to leave you alone?"

"Yeah I doubt that." (Fred hears voices: And now I'm just numb. I don't feel a thing for you)
