I hugged Draco again and smiled. "I should probably go back to my dorm. Goodnight Draco. Thanks again." I smiled and waved to Draco as I walked away.

"Night Christine." I heard the door close as Draco went to his common room. I walked back to the Gryffindor common room and sighed the password.

The portrait swung open and sleepiness hit me. I yawned, not covering my mouth. "Woah there tiger. Nice roar." I felt the smirk in that voice.

I laughed and ran a hand through my hair. I looked up and saw George.

"At least it's you. Not the other one." I looked down and felt arms aroind my waist and a head on my shoulder.

"What's this about the other one?" The voice rummbled on my back as I saw firey hair.

I pushed away and stood between the twins. "Look, I'm not in the mood for a prank. I just got news that-" I willed myself not to cry.
"My father was killed. I-I'm going to bed now." I wiped a tear and pushed past George.

I was halfway up the stairs when they turned into a slide. Idiots.

"Wingardium Leviosa." I pointed my wand at myself and lifted myself to the dorm level.

I landed softly and put my wand back in my pocket. I looked back to see each twin with a look of bewilderment. Each had a foot on the supposed to be stairs.

The stairs were enchanted. If a boy stepped foot on them, it turned into a slide.

"Nice try boys. Goodnight." I waved and opened the door. Half the girls were asleep. Leah, Clare and Angelina were some of the few still awake.

I smiled at them as the collectivley screemed "CHRISTINE" The three girls attacked me with hugs. Angelina was like a sister to me. I'd known her since 1st year and we are great friends.

I hugged each individually then sat down on my bed with the three sitting down with me.

We sat and talked till midnight, each filling me in.

Since I'd been gone, Leah and George became a thing, Clare and Jack became a thing, and it was Angelina's turn to talk.

"Ok, so I've been developing feelings for a certain red head." Angelina blushed and looked down. "And who might this red head be?" I lightly nudged her and giggled.

"Fred Weasley."

His name came out of her mouth with a love struck sigh. I felt my blood boil, but I played it off cool. Leah looked at me worriedly, then seemed horrified.

"What's wrong Leah?" My words had a touch of anger to them. Leah raised a shakey finger and pointed at my face.

"Yo-Your ey-eyes!" She slightly screamed. The two other girls looked and got scared too.

I cocked my head and decided to look in a mirror. I made my way to the bathroom and turned on the light. I looked at myself.

A streak of my hair was blood red. And my eyes...

The were a vibrant an swirling crimson.

I let out a small scream and ran out of the bathroom. "Wh-What's wrong with me?!?!" I shook Clare by the shoulders and she let out a squel.

I released her and looked at my hands.

I'm becoming a monster, just because of a streak in my hair and my eyes.

I backed up and muttered an apology. I quickly changed and crawled into bed.

Ask Gramps tomorrow. Tell your friends about dad. Everything tomorrow.

I mentally made a to do list for tomorrow. I heard a hushed conversation continue on Angelina's bed.

"She's gone mad." Angelina's voice.

"Don't be rude. Probably just a side effect from the medication." Clare's voice.

"I'm going to have nightmares!" Leah's voice. Drama queen.

You don't have dreams, Leah!!

I let myself slip into slumber, but was haunted by nightmares.

I walked into a room. Music played and everyone looked at me. I looked down. I was in an elegant wedding dress. I looked to see who my "spouse to be" was.

Three boys stood in a line behind one man.

That man was Fred.

Three girls were across from him. Leah, Clare and Angelina.

One guest whispered "She looks horrid. Surely he could find better." I got slightly mad, but hid it.

I looked forward again and saw Fred making out with Angelina. My blood boiled and anger over came me.

I threw my bouquet down. A guest screamed in horror and I passed a mirror.

My hair was entirely red. My irises were red as well. I was a monster. Hunger came over me and a thirst for blood came too. I launched at Angelina and pinned her to a wall.

I raised my wand and looked into her fear filled eyes.

"Avada Kedavra!!" Her body fell and slumped on the floor. I turned and saw Fred, a look of horror etched on his face.

Draco, Oliver and George ran away screaming "MONSTER!! MOOONNSSTTER!!!!"

I woke up in a cold sweat. My sheets were soaked and so was I.

I checked my side clock.

1:00

I sighed and fell back on my pillow, going into a peaceful dream.
