Ginny's POV

    Did she just confess to killing her own father?
    Sea and Maria seemed to shut up but they weren't surprised. "You...killed...Professor..." I was hyperventilating. No one knew who killed him and now, we have a confession.
    Mackenzie stood up trying to apologize. "Please, understand!" She shouted in tears. All of us wizards are backing away from her already as she took another step towards us.
    She was a murderer. That would explain the Sorting Hat saying Slytherin before changing his mind. He may have said Ravenclaw at first too. But why? I don't know
    "YOU KILLED YOUR FATHER!" Hermione shouted pointing her wand at Mackenzie. Sea and Maria stepped forward trying to protect the little murderer. "WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING HER? You heard her. She killed Professor Blueblood."
    Sea, Maria, and Mackenzie all shouted together. "For the last time, it's just Blue!" After that little outburst, Sea and Maria looked at each other in confusion.
    Mackenzie tried another unsuccessful attempt to approach but was held back by Sea and Maria. "Mackenzie," Maria whispered. "Remember the prophecy, the second line."
    The next thing I know Maria was pinned to the ground with a dagger to her throat. "This wouldn't have happened if you two didn't start your fancy word wars. Now we're sure that prophecy is mine." She spat it out in disgust. "All I wanted was a normal year!"
    She was suddenly pinned down by shadows and all of them disappeared into shadows.
    "We have to tell Professor McGonagall!" I cried out. Professor Blueblood is one of my favorite teachers. He always taught us like we were his own child. And he was betrayed by his own child.
    Harry nodded and started running towards Hogwarts castle with the rest of us trailing behind him.

    We stood outside the office of Professor McGonagall waiting for her.
    "Minerva," we overheard a voice from the room. Turns out, Professor McGonagall was consulting with another person. Though, the voice sounds familiar.
    Professor McGonagall said in an assuring tone. "Don't worry dear. The minister of Magic decided not to punish you as long as you keep our forest safe. You are to be aware of the creatures that followed you and your friends from New York." New York?
    The same voice awhile ago spoke again. "Thanks, Minerva." Then the next few exchange of words were shocking. "I hope you understand why I did it."
    Professor's voice came immediately after her. "Dear, he may be an innocent man but he wanted you to grow up with the mother side of your blood and the only way to do it is for you to decide to kill him." Oh my gosh, that student inside is Mackenzie herself.
    Hermione exclaimed whispering what I had in my thoughts. "Guys, that student the professor is talking to is Mackenzie!"
    "But always cherish that Crystal and Maria decided to help you. You have a new family and a new year with us. Make it count." Crystal? I don't remember her except Sea. Wait, Sea is 'C'. The start of her name.
    My brother made a really good comment. "Mackenzie has corrupted the mind of the professor and the minister of magic."
    Harry suggested a plan. "We have to warn the students about Mackenzie on our own."
    So we did.
    ---Dinner time at the dining hall---
    After telling all the students before Professor McGonagall and Mackenzie entered, they quite shocked and are
disgusted by Mackenzie. Even the all the other professors were shocked.
    By the time Professor McGonagall entered the Dining hall, everyone was silent with their head down. As she walked through the tables, Mackenzie was following behind her wearing her normal uniform.
    She sat between Harry and Celeste and was immediately given some awkward space. All the Gryffindors scooted away from her leaving her isolated in the middle of the table.
    All of the students were glaring at Mackenzie all throughout the room.
    "Please pass the bread basket," I'm not sure if she noticed that her voice was all that was speaking. Ron roughly handed the bread basket and she continued to eat peacefully...well, she was actually just playing with her food. The only food that actually reached her mouth was a pinch worth of bread.
    "Is she a psycho?" Jake the thirteen year old asked. "She's just eating."
    Mackenzie looked around all the tables and saw all of us glaring at her. Her face was plastered with a frown. "I'm guessing you all know because the 'Golden Trio'-" she made air quotes, "-and Harry's girlfriend told you."
    Students didn't answer her and just kept silent. "Well," she said standing up brushing her hands from bread crumbs. "I hope you're happy that the mystery murder is solved. Sadly, the 'Psycho' student cannot leave Hogwarts because I promised my father and mother-" wait, mother? "-that I will study hard."
    She stood in the middle of the room. "At least, I'll be left alone. So-"
    By surprise she was cut off by Maria and Sea, also known as Crystal, appearing again wearing greek like armor. All the wizards were shocked and prepared their wands to attack.
    "Students!" Professor McGonagall shouted. "Wands down. Everything is okay!" The other professors stopped her and told her that she was sick.
    Maria momentarily dropped making a pool of blood around her. She was breathing heavily.
    What we didn't notice is that when Maria and Crystal appeared, they looked like they were panting as if they were running away from something. "Monsters...army...need you...in the forest...Maria gravely injured...by a snake." Crystal said through short breaths
    To our surprise, Mackenzie snapped her fingers and her clothes dissolved into the some hard core armor once more. Like magic, in her hands were her weapons and a medical bag. She brought out a roll of bandage and cloth and brought it to a big side wound that Maria had.
    Maria was coughing up some blood and she was in a very bad shape. "Just stay with me Maria or I'll let Nico bring you back to life so I will kill you myself." Mackenzie said laughing in a worried tone. She was threatening her at this time?
    All of us wizards were just shocked. She was laughing at the fact that her friend is gravely injured.
    "I'm still wondering how the monster got to you," Mackenzie said handing her a cup of the so called 'medicine'. "Almighty Shadow Queen dies in the hands of an ugly snake lady."
    Maria laughed in response. "It got lucky because-" her face frowned at the thought. "A soul in service was taken from the Palace."
    Mackenzie laughed again. "Isn't it the usual? Some ghosts even escape to here."
    Maria stopped her and said, "Don't get me started, this is why we have a lot of paperwork...scratch that. I deal with Shadows and Nico with the Ghosts," she took a deep breath. "And Mackenzie, the soul that is not in the Palace is your father's. I'm so sorry. We tried to find him but...he's gone. I decided to search here because he teaches here. We don't know where he is yet, but we're still trying to find him." Who are these people? They are talking about dead ghosts.
    Mackenzie froze and turned to us. She was getting teary eyed. "I never wanted to kill him," a single tear drop fell. Then she shouted. "SURE! TELL EVERYONE I KILLED MY FATHER. TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW I MERCILESSLY KILLED MY DAD."
    Crystal started. "Mackenzie, keep yourself calm, we don't want you-" Mackenzie looked sick and emptied the contents in her stomach along with blood. "-spilling your guts out. Oh well, too late," Crystal said looking at the Mackenzie on the floor who seemed to be doubling over.
    Then she helped Mackenzie to her feet who was still recovering. "Listen Mackenzie, I know it's hard but we need you and you need us. I need you to focus. Everything's been hard on our family. I mean, the War pretty much was skipped by us but it's what brought us together. We're here to help those who has gone through war. That is our job and our only job."
    "Crystal, I just, I feel so guilty I wasn't there to help. If Voldemort hadn't gotten to me first." Mackenzie was whispering but it was audible. I didn't know she care. She must be putting up a show to fool us.
    "We weren't there to help, but we can help them now. This is your other family. Start here." Wow, they do care for her. And surprisingly, us. "So, I hope you don't mind if I ask if you have any other weapons? I lost Wave on the way here, I still plan to find her, and Shadow is broken, as you can see." I looked over and saw a shattered black sword by the side of Maria. "And shields too, if you don't mind. Oh and give me a smile or I'll send my cousin to make a permanent smile on your face." This seemed to calm Mackenzie down.
    This made Mackenzie smirk too and she clapped her hands twice. Her trunk appeared in front of her and she pressed a button. "Password?" A boy like computer voice asked.
    Mackenzie shook her head laughing. "C'mon now Leo, don't bluff with me and open my trunk." Crystal laughed as a hologram appeared.
    The hologram showed a Latino boy with an American accent. I think. "Mackenzie, you're no fun. What's the password?"
    Crystal stepped forward and glared at the hologram. You would've laughed because she was glaring at a hologram but her face was scary. "Unless you want to end up in the camp infirmary in a comatose beside Percy, Repair Boy. I suggest you open her trunk or I will break every bone in your body. We have code M 500. Mackenzie and I can handle it with the weapons." We all know the threat of breaking all his bones can't happen so he can't be scared of her.
    The Latino boy gulped and disappeared. The trunk unfolded until it was like a roll of leather on the floor. What surprised us was the weapons stored inside. You'd never believe it fitted her whole trunk.
    It was actually a complete set. Swords, knives, spears, armor, combat boots. Anything.
    "You guys probably need new armor too," Mackenzie said grabbing a wicked looking black helm and armor then threw it towards Maria. Then she picked up a golden sword and threw it to Crystal without looking. She picked another blue armor and handed it to Crystal. "I kinda asked Leo to make multi colored armors in case cabin eleven was against us and stole our weapons."
    Crystal smiled and threw her old blue armor off, leaving her in an orange t-shirt and a pair of jeans. "I like your thinking. I'll go ahead and try to penetrate their forces." She put on the new blue armor and raised her sword and cried out a battle cry. "To the gods who always manages to put us in potential harm!" GODS? This made absolutely no sense to us wizards.
    Crystal put on a gold helmet and disappeared into a mist.
    Mackenzie sighed. "I hope she doesn't die when we get there. I would hate to bring her back to camp." Her tone was sarcastic. She then helped Maria up who seemed to be recovering really fast like magic. "We'd better go."
    "Are you sure you're fine?" Maria asked looking at the emptied contents on the floor. "You don't want to grab a piece of bread?"
    Mackenzie shook her head. "I...can't. It's hard to explain."
    Maria nodded while changing her armor. "Man, Nico got me that sword on my birthday. Now Leo will have to fix it. Correction, he might get his soul sucked into oblivion. I'll have my chauffeur fix it...wait...he might get trapped too. I'll just ask Nico to rebuild it...wait...he'd be super pissed if he saw this. Dang it. I'll have dad fix it."
    "Whatever, he might get his soul sucked in too." Mackenzie picked up a black spear. "I stole this from your cabin...hehe."
    "Are you mocking my father?" Maria grabbed it and frowned. "You're starting to make me think you belong in Cabin Eleven." She tapped the ground lightly and the ground shook surprising us all. "Dammit, you grabbed Nico's spear. He's so gonna kill me if I break it."
    Professor McGonagall spoke which startled all of us. "Mackenzie, please do be safe."
    Mackenzie looked at her and nodded. "Of course, Minerva. Perks of being a hunter. Also, take it easy on the students." She grabbed Maria's hand. "Come on, Maria. We can search for...dad." Then they disappeared into shadows leaving all of our mouths gaping. That really made me think they were death eaters.
    Professor looked at the rest of us wizards as the trunk of Mackenzie folded by itself and locked. "Forgive me students," Professor McGonagall exhaled. "But, there will be punishment to those who ever speaks of Professor Blue. Meanwhile, I would like to see Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Ginny Weasley in my office."
    We are in trouble.
