Chapter 7

I sat in bed while the rest of Gryffindor finished the feast. What is happening? I asked myself. Then an awful sensation flowed through my scar, making my head ache and I heard whispers once again, still unable to identify any words. Just as I was about to fall asleep, Ginny busted into our dormitory looking pale. "Wassamatterwihyouh?"I asked groggily.

"N-nothing. Harry's back though." I looked at her in confusion and walked downstairs.

"Harry, why d'you look like that? What's wrong with all of you guys? It looks like someone died and you guys just got the news."

George crept up behind me and said, "Close enough." huh?

Hermione answered, "It's-s that something petrified Filch's cat." I was shocked.

"Petrified as like-like something immobilized it and like froze it?" She slowly nodded her head. "How?" I asked she just shrugged. I then realized it might have had to do something about the whispers. "Hermione" I whispered, as I motioned her to come to me.

"What?" She asked.

"Like a little bit ago, my scar hurt and I heard whispers. Do you think it has to do with this?" She gasped.

"Harry heard voices, saying something about killing." I was confused, he heard words, and I did not. Odd. I thought.

A month later in Transfiguration, I realized Colin was missing. Maybe he's sick. I thought to myself. Just then Professor Flitwick ran into the room. I heard muttering about another attack, on Colin. Ginny, when I looked at her, was extremely pale. "What is going on?" I muttered to myself.

Months passed and things seemed to be getting normal once again. Though Filch tried to put me into detention for laughing at a joke Ginny told me near where Ms. Norris was petrified. But as we got farther into the school year, Ginny began looking extremely pale and always clung to a diary. When I asked her about it she just said it was her journal and didn't want anyone to read it, not even me. One time, being the nosy person I am, I opened the diary to find it empty. "How?" I asked myself. I tried to find any signs of writing, but there was none. I groaned angrily and ran to my bed when I heard footsteps.

Soon, Christmas came along and I chose to stay, so I could get to know Harry better, but he always seemed busy. Once, as I walked down one of the corridors Professor Mcgonagall approached me. "Eliana, I would like to talk with you for a moment." I nodded and she walked me to her office. "I noticed you are incredibly ahead of your year. I know Professor Snape used to teach you, so I was wondering if you would like to be put into the same year as your brother?" I hesitated and then nodded eagerly. "Very well, we will give you your new schedule soon." I grinned and left the office. Wow, I'm going to be a year ahead! I thought to myself.

Since Ginny was busy, I went to find Hermione and told her the news. "Well, that's wonderful!" She said, "That means you'll be with us!" I smiled and nodded. On Christmas Day, I had gifts for all my friends but Harry, Ron, and Hermione were nowhere to be seen.

When I saw Ginny, I told her the news and she looked ecstatic, "That's... well AWESOME." She said. I handed her a gift and she was overjoyed. When I looked over at my gift pile, it was quite large.

There were many gifts, and I looked at the first one. My parents, my muggle ones, left me 3 gifts. I smiled. I opened those to see many amazing sweets. I saw a lumpy package and Ginny explained that she had written to her mum, and her mum made me a gift. I saw one from Harry and Hermione and one from Professor Snape.
