"Hey, Ellie," I poked her cheek.

"Hey, Rani, what?" She mocked, poking my check back.

"Can we come up with a nickname for you?" I asked, giving her my puppy dog eyes. She laughed.

"My dear, Serana. Puppy Dog Eyes don't work on me. I have 3 younger siblings. But, yes, you can," she giggled.

"You have siblings?" Lils gasped.

"Yup,
Aubrey and Dominic are coming to Hogwarts next year, and Janine is
coming the year after. And yes, Rani, you can come up with a nickname
for me," we continued walking.

"Longbottom!" A sneering voice called out. We turned. Luscious Malfoy and his great band of apes came strutting over.

"What do you want, Luscious?" Lils growled.

"I
just wanted to talk to this kind lady," he put on an evil grin,"Alone."
I bit my lip and looked to Lils and Ellie for comfort. Lils face was
twisted and angry, whilst Ellie's head was down. He held his hand out. I
slowly took it. He lead me away.

"I can't believe it!" I heard Lils yell.

"Yes...yes...Malfoy?" I stammered. He smirked.

"I just wanted to tell you," he pulled me closer,"I know it's you." His voice sent chills down my spin.

"What...what...what do you mean?" I scowled slightly.

"The werewolf everyone's talking about? It has to be you," he stepped back. I shake my head.

"I don't...I don't know what you're talking about-" he rushed to me and grabbed my neck.

"Don't lie to me, tell me. Are you the werewolf?" He hissed. I grasped at his hands, trying to pry them off.

"Please, I don't know-" he squeezed tighter. I gagged.

"I
can't let you danger me and Narcissa, now can I?" He sneered,
continuing to tighten his grip on my neck. I choked and gagged, all
while trying to pull his hands off. I couldn't breath. I slowly shook my
head.

"Now, I'm going to ask you one last time, are you the
werewolf? You don't need to tell me, cause I already know. But, I want
you to admit it," he laughed.

"I...don't...know..." I managed. He glared at me.

"Oh
come on! Just tell me you are and this will be over," he put his face
closer to mine. Grey spots shimmered into view. I knew what was
happening.

"I...am...not-"

"SERANA!"

"Get off My
sister you son of a git!" I heard someone scream. Luscious let me go. I
dropped to the floor, gasping for breath. Even though I could breath,
spots still blurred my vision. I saw four people running towards me, and
one person punch Luscious in the face, just as my world went black.



"I shouldn't have let her go alone. Who would let someone else go alone somewhere with Lucsious?!" A voice yelled.

"It's ok, it's not your fault only. I didn't say anything either," another voice tried to sooth the first one.

"You both did well, coming to get someone," An older, female, voice spoke up.

"But why these two?" A fourth voice, obviously a boy piped in.

"Oi!" Two other voices protested.

"Shut up, you're making my head hurt," I groaned.

"Rani!"
One of the younger females screamed, feet clipping closer to me. I
batted my eyes open. 5 figures stood around me. Ellie, Lils, Frank, and
to my surprise, Remus and Sirius. My stomach did a multitude of summer
salts, at their sight.

"She's blushing. Whys she blushing?" Frank said, almost angrily.

"I
don't know, maybe I'm just that beautiful," Sirius teased. I blushed
again. Remus, Frank, and my best friends all roll their eyes. Everyone
was sitting on my bed. I groaned.

"Riv! Are you ok? Does your head hurt? What's wrong? Are you sick? Are you hot? Are you dying?" Frank rambled.

"I'm fine Frank. You guys are just making me claustrophobic," I laughed.

"You guys better get to class," Madam Pomfrey sighed.

"Class?" my voice broke, "how long have I been out?"

"Since yesterday," Ellie hung her head. I sighed.

"Well, crap! I'm going to miss the first day of actual class," I threw my hands on the air.

"Well, bye," Everyone waves and leaves.

"JINXY!" I yelled, suddenly thinking of a nickname for Ellie. My eyes fluttered close.



I slowly woke up, and when I did, all my Jinxy, Lils, and Frank were all around me.

"Ellie! Your nickname is Jinxy," I siad.

"She's awake!" Frank screamed.

"Yes, I am, now please shut up," I groaned.

"Fine," he grumbled. I sat up.

"I
need to get ready for school tomorrow!" I said, swinging my legs over
ten edge of the hospital bed. I stood up and walked out, Jinxy, Lils,
and Frank following close behind. We finally got back to the Commen
Room. I walked in slowly. I sow the Maurarders sitting in a circle,
laughing. I tried to sneak past them.

"Ana! You ok?" The voice of Remus asked. I cringed, plastered on a fake smile, then turned around.

"Yeah, Remus. I'm fine. Thank you for asking," I replied.

"You should have seen What we did to Malfoy! It was priceless!" Sirius laughed, making my heart flutter.

"You were going to bed. Weren't you, Helena," Frank said through his teeth. I snapped my attention to him and nodded.

"Yes,
I was. Goodnight boys," I jogged upstairs and flopped onto my bed. Soon
after, Jinxy and Lils came in after me, trying to suppress their
laughter. I chuckled.

"Go ahead guys. Laugh at me all you want," I
sighed. I didn't know how much laughter they were holding in. As soon
as I said that, both girls fell over and began rolling around on the
ground. I snorted at them.

"You guys have problems," I laughed And rolled over.

"It's jus...your face...can't breath..." Jinxy tried to say.

"You are so in love with Remus," Lils squealed.

"WHAT?! I am most defiantly not​ in love with Remus," I stated as-a-matter-of-factly.

"Uh-huh. We believe you," Jinxy rolled her eyes.

"I sense sarcasm. That was sarcasm. You were being sarcastic with me!" I accused. Lils and Jinxy mock gasped.

"Really? I couldn't tell!" Jinxy's eyes went wide and they wandered over to Lils. I threw a pillow at her.

"I hate you," I teased. She threw the pillow back at me.

"I
love you too," She flopped onto her bed. Lils followed her. Seconds
later both were snoring. I laughed and rolled my eyes before closing my
eyes as well.
