"Pixie! Pixie! Pixie just talk to me. Please," running behind me was a jerk face that some how could keep up with an angering teenage girl walking 40 miles an hour. How he did, the world may never know.

I just wanted to yell at him but the world knows why I couldn't and why I wouldn't. Class was over it was time to move on. He needed to move on and stop being a stupid Gryffindor.

"Just smile and show me your ok please Pixie," for once I listened but we all knew I was just a eccedentesiast. The last thing I heard from him was an excruciating, "Pixie."

Christmas break was almost here and I knew that meant first semester finals were almost here. The dread that brought for me was beyond measure. I had already been studying and tutoring others. Some bright genius got the idea to try and sign up for tutoring with me. I was already booked though.

With the break on the way I didn't know where I would be staying. I wasn't talking to the unmentionable so that was out of question. Hermione was staying at Hogwarts so I couldn't go with her. But I always had Lupin. I figured I'd go there.

Being with Remus again would be nice. I'd be with family and be able to study and have peace and quiet.

"Pixie, do you say LeviOsa or LeviosAR?" A first year was confused and I was about to have my eye taken out.

"First off don't point that thing at me. Second its LeviOsa not LeviosAR," this kid really needed the tutoring he should've learned this at the beginning of the year. Poor kid.

I knew soon this session would be over and I could leave but something eerie was lingering around. Then I could hear something. A noise. A peculiar noise that is. Then I heard some screaming. "Study session's over. Get to your dormitory," and then I was racing to find the cause of the noise.

Unfortunately it was nothing pleasant. All I found was yet another cold body only this time they were in the library. It was none other than Justin Finch-Fletchley and Nearly Headless Nick.

"Well didn't you see at least something?" The professors were very inquisitive but finally at last light they let me go to my dormitory.

I finally got back to my room and had absolutely no clue as to what to do with my life. I still needed to study but there was no need if I wasn't going to focus. Besides I study everyday anyways. I needed more sleep than anything unfortunately insomnia often over ran, tonight especially.

I laid in bed though and hoped for better results than I expected. When I turned over for the millionth time, I saw the clock said 4:30 a.m. Great! Just my luck! When turning to face different directions over and over again became too much, I gave in and got up from my bed.

After reading the clock this time I learned that it had been an hour since I last seen it. If quidditch was going on I would've been there already and focusing on something else.

Maybe running will help to clear the mind.

With that thought I got on some running shoes and clothes and headed my way out. The sun had yet to rise but I could see the golden beads finding a way above the horizon. Then I stopped mid run and saw the beauty that even unearthly things could bring to us. I saw the beauty that was already amongst me. And it was gorgeous.

Morning jogs in the winter were nice until you realize just how cold it really is outside. I watched the sun rise the rest of the way that morning and then ran until it was seven, at that time I went inside to change. I made it inside, but instead I um I just laid in bed... exhausted.

After laying around long enough, I made my way down to the great hall ready for the day to begin. There was a flood of silence in there though. I didn't feel like talking as it might break the very calmness that was very rarely ever given.

They knew. They all knew we had another student struck. And that's all it took for despair to overwhelm us all.

A/n so hi. Let's clear some things up: I'm not dead (yay) and neither is this book (another sarcastic yay). I'm sorry y'all had to wait so long, but I did take time to write this (sorry if there's mess ups). It's spring break and I have school stuff to do and writing to do yet I'm just going to scroll through Pinterest and read other books. Sorry again.

If you've got criticism please have at it. Thanks readers for sticking around and for the new comers.

Question of the chapter is: how's school/work going?
