Ch. 23 Paler than Snow
After countless tries to boost me out of my funk, nothing worked. I was walking through the halls of Hogwarts and I don't know why, but I just got the feeling that everyone was staring at me, judging me, pitying me. I must have looked like trash with my hair messed up, pale with bags under my eyes. Judgement was the last thing that I needed right now. All of a sudden my eyes got glossy on a tall figure in front of me, no more than a few feet away stood Harry. He was talking to Ron, probably about Professor Snape not being his usual prejudice self or what not. I've never seen what's so bad about Snape. He's just a strict teacher. He doesn't give anyone special treatment, except his own house which is actually understandable. I mean it's his house and has always been his house. I laughed to myself at my stupidity. For a micro of a second I almost forgot what he did to me...or what's he's going to do to me. I looked down at the ring on my finger. I forgot to take it off. I wonder how I could set it off again. I know the future looks dangerous, but I have to know. I- I just have to. There's no ifs or buts about it. I looked around me to make sure no one was looking at me and slowly began to walk over to a dark corner. "Catheryn? Is that you." My face went white with fear. Who could that be? I couldn't figure out who it was by the sound of their voice. "It's okay Catherine. It's Raven." I breathed a sigh in relief. Thank goodness it wasn't Hermione or Ron, or worse Harry. "Uh yeah it's me. Don't come any closer though." I was sweating now, and I was scared. These powers that I've been bless....no cursed with are even more than I can handle myself. "Don't be ridiculous. You weren't at breakfast and you're going to miss your very first day of lessons. Now come on. We only have ten minutes, and I have the next class with you. To bad it's the only one we have together." Raven tried to come closer, but I could feel the ring getting hot. It was coming back again.....that feeling of dizziness.... however all I could hear were voiced and the replacement of human bodies were nothing shadows on a wall that were identical in shape and size. "I don't want to hurt her. I...I love her."
"You don't love her. You're just using her..."
The bickering filled my ears, but when I reached to touch it, the blackened image faded. I swallowed hard and felt a sharp tug on my arm. I looked up to see Raven gazing at me with concern. "Are you okay? You don't look like yourself. Want to go outside for a second?" Before I could speak, the doorbell rang and the halls became mad with footsteps and chatter. Harry and Ron meandered into the crowd and their bodies hidden. I sighed and stared down at the ring. It began to rise in temperature and the purple stone for a moment glowed. "Hey. Cath. Seriously. This isn't funny anymore. You're literally palet than snow and your hair color changed again. It's black like charcoal. What's going on?" I looked up at Raven and my mouth became bone dry. I couldn't tell Hermione, and I couldn't tell the others. I didn't trust them yet. I....

AUTHOR'S NOTE *PLEASE READ*
(I'm sorrrrry it's so short)
For everyone who still reads this story, even after 2 years....thank you and I am very sorry. Really. My terrible excuse is that -bare with me- I let my sister borrow my HP books to impress a guy and she put them somewhere, I have no idea where they are and I have forgotten some Harry Potter events. So I'm going on a search soon to find them. Do my research, and then finish this story. I was also thinking of maybe starting an original story of my own soon. It's been forever since i have published on Wattpad and I really do feel bad. I just keep forgetting every little event and just need to go back and get my facts straight! I am determined to finish this story!
Accio later!
