"Now students your last assignment for a while is to put together a book as to why your Familiar is your familiar. See you after the holidays." Gathering my items together the others had already fled the classroom except a few of us taking our time. Professor Margory touching base with a couple students I finished packing up and about to leave when she called me over. It was just me and her and the snow gently falling outside. "Flora you are failing my class. I know you're smart and all but out of all the classes you have taken why are you failing my class?" She looked at me frowning and shook her head in dissappointment. "You're the only one failing my class Goldwell." Millie bursts in with Connor, "Flora dear hurry up. We gotta go meet dad." I walked away from the fuming Professor Margory. We got to the main entrance of Hogwarts, "Millie you know I can go to Prestine Possessions myself. I am third year afterall-" Millie butted in, " I'm a Seventh and Connor is a fifth. We are the Goldwells' and we stick together." Her and Connor started walking away but I stayed put. I wasn't going to let her be bossy even though she is mothers' lookalike and Connor was a spitting image of Father. I didn't look like either of them and I noticed that since I turned nine. Millie glanced back, noticing I wasn't following "Flora come on." After a minute of me not responding she and Connor left. 

     Walking to a chill spot on campus I took in the cold, serene landscape. Most of those that stayed here took comfort inside by the fires unlike me loving the snow. I get to the chill spot, untouched snow around the womping willow and a rock fifty feet away I sit down on the rock. "Hey Womping, how are you?" A face appeared within the tree and spoke. "I'm actually doing better. I took your advice and now there's not so many student casualties now!" "I'm glad. You take care now." The face dissappeared and all was quiet. Shadow lept up into my lap. I layed down on the rock and watched the snow fall gently. I speak outloud even though no one is around. "I'm not a Goldwell. They don't know I know but I do know that I am not related to them." I sit back up, "Wait I know for a fact that they were meeting at Clockwork Archives. I've been there only once back before I started here." Shadow hops off my lap as I stand, "Let's go Shadow!"

I get inside and head to the library with Shadow at my feet. I collect a few books and sit down at a table. I quietly speak to Shadow "I'm going to have you stay here with a friend as I go do some investigating. Is that ok?" He hops up on the table and as he purrs he head bumps me and I return with giving his small petite nose a kiss. After a bit I return the books to their spot, pick up Shadow and head to meet up with a friend. Draco is chilling by the fire in the common area. I give Shadow a big kiss on his head and set him in Dracos' lap. "Oh hey buddy!" Shadow purrs, "When are you leaving?" "Tonight after I get a few things together. Just remember that when he dissappears I most likely summoned him. ok?" "Got it. Goodluck Flora." I got my things together and stepped out into the dark, snowy night.
