I started walking  towards her frozen body but Professor  Jones started talking.

      " Alright everyone I think that's it for today" professor announced. Everyone groaned .

       "I want the essays on Grindylows by Friday evening on my desk. Is that clear?" he questioned. Everyone nodded and started leaving the class. 

        Dani and Eva rushed towards me and started asking me if I was ok or feeling uneasy. I nodded my head and ignored the pain in my back. 

        I walked towards Bellatrix's frozen body. A girl was kneeling beside her and trying to use some spell to wake her. But the girl was failing to do so. 

    "Mind if I try?" I asked her. Professor Jones , Dani and Eva were standing behind me. 

   "Reparifors" I yelled. Instantly she stood up and glared at me. Her friend got up as well.

   "Miss Black please get out of my class, before I remove my wand" he stood beside me and threatened her. Her cheeks got red. She stomped her feet and stormed out of the class. Her friend looked at me.

  "I'm sorry about my sister and thank you for doing that" she said awkwardly and left.

   I didn't know that Bellatrix had a sister.  Professor Jones looked at me.

 " Alexandra  are you Ok?" he asked worriedly

  "Yes sir I'm totally fine" I lied 

 " Well then you all can leave" he stated and we left immediately.

 "  You sure you are ok?" Eva questioned for the third time.

  " Eva I'm fine, now if you'll excuse me I have to go for my Potions Class " I said that and left them .

   Professor Slughorn was going to teach something out of the textbook today. So I was only having my notebook and writing materials . 

I went and sat on my usual spot. A fat book was already placed on my table. Someone pulled the chair that was  beside me . I thought it was Alice but when I saw lily beside me I was confused. She never sits with me during potions .

"How are you ?" she questioned me. 

" What did Severus exactly tell you?" I questioned. Not many Slytherin's spoke to her except Severus and she was pretty close to him.

"He told me that Bellatrix attacked you during a duelling match . You looked hurt but you got up and paralysed her" she told.

"Well whatever you heard was true..." I confirmed. But before she could talk  Professor Slughorn entered the class. 

"Good morning children we won't be performing any potions today. But I would like to tell you something important . So kindly turn to page 394" he informed us.

Lily opened  the book that was in front of her and started turning the pages . I was trying to read every page of the book but I couldn't do it. I gave up and opened page 394. 

Professor Slughorn was talking about the potion . I was trying to listen to him but suddenly I was having this uncontrollable feeling of sneezing.

"Acchoo" I sneezed "Excuse-achoo" I sneezed again.

In the past fifteen minutes I had been sneezing continuously. A few Gryffindor's  turned their heads and looked at me weirdly. 

"Miss White I think you have caught a cold" Professor looked at me.

"No-achoo-professor-achhoo-I'm-achoo" I tried to talk but I was sneezing uncontrollably.

"Miss White I think you should meet Madam Pomprey right now" he said.

"But-achoo" I sneezed 

"Leave now" he ordered.

I left immediately I was starting to get on his nerves. I knew that. But the thing was I didn't know where or who Madam Pomprey was .

I was sneezing  even while walking. I knew I didn't have a cold but what I didn't know was why I was sneezing .

 Professor McGonagal  saw me sneezing and took me to the hospital wing. Oh so Madam Pomprey was the nurse. Now that made sense.She was wearing a healers uniform. She saw me sneezing . She turned around and started walking towards a cupboard which was at the end of the room. She removed a flask and a glass. She poured the contents of the flask. She came towards me and gave me the glass. I took the glass.

"I suggest you sit down" she said kindly. I sat on  a bed and  I took a sip of the drink . I stopped sneezing but my eyes were suddenly feeling heavy. The glass was taken from my hand and I fell asleep on the bed. 

I could hear muffled voices in my sleep. I opened my eyes  and saw that Lily and Alice were sitting next to me. I got up and I was instantly engulfed in a hug. 

"Are you ok?" Alice asked.

" Yes " I answered.

 Dani entered the hospital wing furiously. She saw me and stood at the edge of the bed.

"It was him" she said angrily.

"Who? " I asked 

"That bastard Sirius and his accomplice Potter . They put some sneezing spell on your book" she said. I saw it in her eyes that she was angry. I shifted a little and made space for her and patted the mattress. She huffed and came towards me and sat down. 

"Should I do something ?" Dani asked.

"No, they want you to get involved. They want you to react"  I said.

"So you are just going to take whatever they do" Alice asked.

"I never said that" I told calmly.

"Then what are we going to do ?" Dani questioned.

"I have a plan, but it's risky and I don't want you guys to get involved" I said .

Lily placed her hand on mine and squeezed it. 

"If they mess with one of us then they mess with all of us" she said
