The day before the dance I was sitting in my bed reading when Mattheo came in “Do you have a date yet to the dance?” He asked 

“No, I don’t know if I am going honestly” I sighed 

“Come on, you should go” 

“I don’t want to ask anyone and nobody asked me so…” 

“Y/n, will you be my date to the dance” He bowed and I laughed 

“Your my brother” 

“And…, we make a cute couple according to Thomas” 

I laughed again “Of course I will be your date for the dance, I wouldn’t let you go alone” 

“And it doesn’t matter what you wear, you can wear sweatpants and a shirt for all I care, I just wouldn't want you to miss it” 

The rest of the day passed by in a blur. Indu and I went last minute dress shopping and then got some other things too. 

We got back just in time for dinner then after dinner I went up to my dorm, took a quick shower then got ready for bed. I put my hair into a high bun so it wouldn't get messed up while I slept  

The next morning I slept in late and got up at 11. The dance started at 5pm (17:00). I kept my hair in a high bun as I brushed my teeth and washed my face. At 12 I headed down for lunch. 

When I entered the Great Hall I walked over to the Slytherin table and sat next to Mattheo. I noticed Theodore wasn’t there. “Where's Theodore?” I asked

“He’s in the hospital wing, this morning I found him on the astronomy tower with blood all over him, I don’t know what happened but me and Thomas brought him to the hospital wing and we haven’t heard anything about how he’s doing” Mattheo explained 

“Can we visit him?” 

“No, for some reason we are not allowed to see him” Thomas replied

“Hm, odd” 

“Yeah” Mattheo nodded his head “Very odd” 

“Thomas, are you ok?” I asked 

“Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?” 

“Your clenching your fists and you just sound like you are hurt” I replied 

Thomas looked around but there was no one by us “It’s the mark, it hurts” 

Thomas got the Dark Mark the summer before his fifth year, and our father said all of us will get it the summer before our fifth year. “Does father need you?” Mattheo asked 

“No, this is different, it has happened a couple times before but not like this” 

“Maybe it’s a warning” I shrugged “When were the other times you felt it?”

Thomas stared at me for a second, thinking “I think you might be right Y/n, all the other times it hurt, something bad happened later”

“If it hurts more does that mean that the bad thing that will happen is going to be worse then other times” Mattheo asked 

“That was wordy” I commented 

“Well how would you word it?” He asked

“I would say more or less, does the intensity of the pain reflect the level of danger” 

“Big words” Was all Mattheo said 

“But it’s quicker to say and easier” I replied 

“Fine” He gave up 

Once we all finished lunch we all went back to the common room together. Thomas and Mattheo took showers as I used the vanity, which was basically my desk because the boys didn’t really use it. I washed my face again and did my makeup. It was simple makeup, no eyeliner or mascara because I was terrible at it. I put moisturizer on then waited a little bit so my face wasn’t as wet. Once it was mostly dry I put on a gold-ish and copper eyeshadow then added some gold sparkles. I put on blush and some lipstick that was a couple shades darker then my normal shade. I used a spell that would keep my makeup on the whole night so that I could look good the whole night. I did my hair in a half up- half down. The hair that was up was french braided into a high bun and the rest was down. It was only 1:30pm (13:30) so I decided to paint my nails. I painted them black then put dark green and gold designs on them. They dried by 2:30pm (14:30). 

I was bored because I didn’t want to get on my dress yet because it was too early and I didn’t want it to get dirty so I just sat on the vanity chair and read. At 3:30pm (15:30) Mattheo was done getting ready and he went down to the common room to draw. I found myself spinning around in the chair for no reason other than I had nothing to do. Thomas saw me and chuckled “Don’t fall off”

“I won’t” I reply, stopping and heading over to my bed. I sit on my bed and do some more reading until 4:20pm (16:20). I put on my dress. It was emerald green and the material was soft, the loose skirt went down a little past my knees and the edges of the dress as well as the short sleeves had black lace. I wore a pair of black tights under thick heeled black boots with gold chains a little above the ankle. To finish it off I put one of my favorite black leather belts on to cover the seam between the skirt and top. I put on the snake earrings and ring that I had got for christmas then I tucked my wand and dagger under my skirt in a belt made especially for them. I spun in front of the mirror and looked at my reflection. Thomas came up behind me and hugged me.

“You ready?” He asked 

“Yep” I replied, smiling

He walked me down the stairs, making sure I didn’t fall, I didn’t wear heels a lot but I liked them, they made me feel taller like they should. I met Mattheo in the common room. I swear I heard one of the girls gasp when they saw me. I felt like a queen. Mattheo and Thomas were wearing the same thing but they made it look different. Thomas’s shirt was tucked in and he wore a bowtie while Mattheo’s shirt was not tucked in and he wasn't wearing a bowtie. Mattheo’s shirt sorta hid his dagger that he now brought everywhere. 

We made our way to the Great Hall. Thomas was on one side and Mattheo on the other. When we entered the room I spotted Indu right away and she saw me. I walked over to her and gave her a hug “You look great” She complemented 

“You do too, your dress fits you perfectly” Her dress was shades of orange, pinks, reds, browns, and yellows. It looked like a sunrise or sunset. Mattheo came and told me that they saved seats for the three of us. I started dancing with him then I danced with Thomas for a little bit. I had to admit that Mattheo was pretty good at ballroom dancing but Thomas was better. 

Soon we had dinner. I sat with Mattheo one one side and Indu on the other. Thomas sat on the other side of Mattheo and Nathan sat on the other side of Indu. After dinner there was more dancing. I danced with Indu while Nathan went to get her a refill. I looked over at Thomas and Mattheo sitting at the table looking at me. Thomas just looked to be in more pain, even if he barely showed it I knew it. “I am going to go talk to my brothers, we might leave early” I told Indu when Nathan got back.

“Ok well bye then, see you soon” She gave me a hug and I walked back to our table.

“You guys want to go?” I asked 

“Sure,” Thomas answered. We made our way down the halls until Thomas put his hand out for us to stop, we were right next to the courtyard “something doesn’t feel right” I suddenly saw black smoke and I knew what was coming, father. Two hands wrapped around my neck and held me in place, and two more Death Eaters appeared behind Thomas and Mattheo then father appeared in front of them. I could feel the man was choking me. I elbowed him, grabbed his arms and spun around then I kicked him into the wall. I turned around and a second later I could feel his wand pointed at my head. I waved my hand and it flew across the hallway. 

“What is going on with you?” My father asked me

“What's going on is this stupid guy won’t leave me hell alone” I waved my hand and he flew into the courtyard. I wasn’t purposely trying to get my father’s attention though I had to say I did have his attention for a second there. 

“What are you doing here?” Thomas asked and our father looked back to him

“I wanted to see how you two were doing and tell you something” He explained. I rolled my eyes, of course he wanted to see just my brothers, he cared nothing for me. “I need you to find and kill someone for me. Her name is Dominique Monet” 

“She’s already dead” Thomas replied

“Y/n killed her” Mattheo explained looking over at me 

“Why were you anywhere near her?” My father asked me, stepping closer 

“It’s a long story but she killed a lot of students and I ended up at her house or something, she was going to kill us so I killed her fist” I shrugged 

“How did you kill her?” 

“With the killing curse, what else do you think?” 

“You used the killing curse?” He asked skeptically. I felt like I was being interrogated. 

“Yes, you can ask Thomas and Mattheo if you don’t trust me” He looked back at them and they both nodded 

“Well then consider myself surprised, I thought you weren’t good at anything” I tried to control my anger and make sure my eyes didn’t turn crimson. “Well then, I will see you when the school year ends” He disappeared along with the other Death Eaters he came with. 

“I thought you couldn’t apparate into Hogwarts” I commented 

“You can’t but somehow he found a way around the rule” Thomas replied 

“You really stole the spotlight didn’t you” Mattheo chuckled 

I shrugged “Didn’t really mean too but I mean I wanted some attention after not getting any for most of my life”
