"That's why Potter," he said angrily.
"Luckily, Professor Varicosus's lesson was fun.""And that's it for today's students.""See you again on Monday.""Would Hagrid have been fired?" Harry asked.I don't know."Probably what happened to that snake," said Ron."Or maybe he really took time off?" Hermione suggested."We'll just go see him in the afternoon.""Would you like to come with me then?" Harry asked.
Uh, please.'Fine.'"After our lunch we got ready to go to Hagrid.""Harry rang the bell.""Hello Hagrid, how are you?" Hermione asked."Okay, kids, who is that?"Victoria professor, I have had lessons from you."Riddle you say?""Aragog tells a lot about you," he said cheerfully."Like what?" Ron asked defiantly.""Well, he says that before she came to Hogwarts, she went to the Forbidden Forest just about every day between her studies.""What are you doing there?" asked Hermione.Nothing special.
"Yeah right, Aragog says she rides on mortal creatures over there and talks to the alpha wolves," Hagrid said proudly."Really?" Harry asked in surprise.Not every day."Then how can you talk to it?" Hermione asked, interested.I actually do not know."It really doesn't matter now," Ron said irritably."Why weren't you at school Hagrid anyway?" Harry asked."I wasn't fired if that's what you think, though the Malfoys tried to make it happen.""Then how come you weren't fired?"'Well, the process normally took 3 days but onday two they suddenly changed their mind."'Crazy, said Hermione."Nice to talk to you Hagrid, but we still have to go to our herbal medicine class with Professor Sprout.""See you next time kiddos.""We hasten back to the castle.""Welcome back, dear students," said Professor Lupine."Today we're going to talk about bogeymen."|I know Harry had already learned that but for the sake ofthe storyline he hadn't learned that yet.|
"Does anyone know what a bogeyman is?""Hermione raised her finger.""Yes, Miss Granger?""A bogeyman is a kind of shadow that takes on everyone's deepest fear and usually hides in dark places.""Excellent worded, 10 more points for Gryffindor.""As Miss Granger said, they are shadow monsters and they take on the person closest to them their deepest fear.""You can all stand in a row and say Ridiculus.""You start, Marcel.""He walked terrified to the closet that the bogeyman was in.""The bogeyman flew out and transformed into Professor Snape.""Ri...ridiculus," he murmured."Louder come on," Professor Lupine urged him."Ridiculus!"
"Snape changed his clothes into a grandmother's.""Well done Marcel.""So everyone had their turn.""Until it was my turn.""The bogeyman turned into Cormac.""I stood there transfixed.""Was 7 not enough for you?" said the bogeyman."Suddenly the bogeart had a knife and stabbed me.""Ridiculus!" cried Professor Lupine."The bogeyman disappeared but the knife did not.""I fell to the floor in complete shock from what had happened."
(Would they know?)
(What if they find out what I did.)
(Then I will definitely be removed from Hogwarts and have to go into hiding with Father in the Malfoy villa.)
"Oh dear what is this?" Professor Lupine asked all overhis tours.A 7 centimeter long knife made by Theodore Fierarof brass and at the core a drop of dragon's blood.is poisonous."I pulled the knife out.""Professor Snape burst into the classroom.""Professor Lupin you can count on Professor Dumbledore to hear about this!" he bellowed."I almost passed out from the blood loss.""Potter!" he shouted."Take her in now!""Harry picked me up and she hurried to Mrs. Plasters."Professor, please don't say anything to father about this."Of course not, but he will probably already know."I think so too."Thank god what happened to you child?!""No time to talk she needs help now, quick!""Mrs. Plasters got everything ready and laid me on a bed.""Then I lost consciousness from the blood loss."Harry(Is that Cormac?)(He's dead isn't he?)"The bogeart stabbed her.""Harry what's happening?" Hermione asked anxiously.I have no idea."Ridiculus!" shouted" Professor Lupine.
"The bogeyman went away but the knife remained.""She collapsed.""I went to her in a panic but Ron stopped me."What is it Ron?"This is probably just her stunt to fire Professor Lupine.""Oh dear what is this?" Professor Lupine asked clearly in panic."A 7 cm long knife made by Theodore Fierarbrass and a drop of dragon's blood at its core," she replied."Is poisonous.""She pulled the knife out.""Professor Snape burst into the classroom.""Professor Lupin you can count on Professor Dumbledore to hear about this!" he shouted."She looked very weak from the blood loss.""Potter!" he shouted."Take her in now!"
"I picked her up and we rushed to Mrs. Plasters.""Professor, please don't say anything to Father about this," she begged."Of course not, but he will probably already know."I think so too.(What do they mean by 'he will already know'?)(How could Voldemort know about this incident if no one has said anything about this yet?)"Thank god what happened to you child?!""No time to talk, she needs help now, quick!" said Professor Snape, clearly concerned."Mrs. Plasters packed some things and helped her onto a bed.""She's lost consciousness," said Mrs. Plasters."Luckily the knife was pulled out quickly otherwise there could have been serious infections.""She quickly gave her some medicine, wet towels and a jab to slow the bleeding.""Professor, Harry I have to change her clothes now so I can sew her so if you could just look away." "We both looked away." "Mrs. Plasters had given her a light smoked dress."
 |They were already allowed to look back.| 
Why does she have all those scars?! "Go back to Potter class," said Professor Snape. The lesson is already over professor and it is now lunch break. "He growled angrily because he couldn't send me away and left." "Well, I'm going to screw her now, so if you don't want to see this, you better look away," said Mrs. Plasters. It's okay. "Mrs. Plasters looked at me questioningly." "I really don't want anyone else to pass out." Perhaps I should look away better in hindsight. 'I thought so.' "After Mrs. Plasters had sewn her up, I could look again." "How did this even happen?" she asked. Well during Defense Against the Dark Arts we were discussing the bogeymen and everyone had to turn their own bogeyman into something crazy but hers suddenly stabbed her with a knife. "Strange, very strange." "Well I'm going to let her rest now, you can stay here if you want." Miss Plasters? 'Yes?' Do you know why she has so many horrible scars? 'Yes.' May I know? "You'll have to ask her that yourself, Harry."Victoria "When will she wake up, ma'am?" I heard someone ask. "Normally about now."
 "I opened my eyes." "I jumped straight with my wand at the ready." "It's just us Victoria." Oh, Harry. "I sat back." "Are you in any pain?" asked Mrs. Plasters. No. "You have to stay here for a few more days." Of course I understand. "After 3 days in the hospital I was allowed to participate again to the lessons, Ron was absolutely not happy with this you could tell." hey guys? "Yes Victoria?" said George and Fred at the same time. I just wanted to say that tomorrow is my birthday. "Congratulations in advance," said Fred. Um, would you like to have some cake with me tomorrow? "Well, duh!" George said enthusiastically. "We talked some more and then went to our rooms." Good night Hermione. "Good night Victoria." "When I woke up, I went straight to the bathroom." "It's finally my birthday," I told myself.
 "I wanted to wear a green dress but changed my mind because otherwise they could see my scars." "Put that on, it looks good on you," Hermione said, entering the bathroom still half asleep. Oh, okay then. "After getting dressed, I went to read a book." (I'm so glad it's my birthday weekend.) "Victoria?" Hermione asked. Yes?"Could you help me carry some books back to the library?"Can't you just do magic?"Not allowed on weekends."Ugh, okay then."I got up and put a bookmark in my book and walked over to Hermione.""She gave me a lot of books."'Thank you.'No problem."We took the books back to the library and I wanted to go back to my room but Hermione stopped me.""Wait!" cried Hermione."Miss Granger, this is a library, it's quiet here," said the librarian."Sorry," she muttered."Let's go outside."Okay?"I wanted to ask you to help me with some spells?"Sure.Do you want a duel?"She hesitated.""Yes please," she said finally."Expelliarmus."reduction."Hermione's staff flew from her hands.""Wow... you can't do that!"I didn't."But you can't use that spell in this case,he would have no effect."Or maybe it was a distraction who knows?"After practicing a few more spells, we stopped."What is it?"We've practiced enough now, let's go back to our room," she said."We left for our room.""I opened the door."
