Part 21 - Miriam's Point of View
So, we were walking towards Nymphadora and Harry. And we were really happy.
Me: Hey!
Nymphadora: Hey!
Ron: What’s going on?
Nymphadora: Nothing.
But I was sure that something was going on… Nymphadora and Harry looked both very sad.
Nymphadora kept walking and passed us. Harry was calling her name, but I think that she didn’t notice that.
Me: Harry… what happened here?
Harry: Nothing…
Ron: Harry! I’m your best friend… I know that you aren’t ok.
Harry: If you were my best friend, you wouldn’t try to steal my girlfriend from me!
Me: What?! Is that true?
Ron: Of course not! What happened to you Harry?
Harry: Nothing… I just know that my girlfriend went to the lake with my best friend… and that is suspicious!
Me: Ah! That story again… Harry, you are completely wrong!
Ron: Yes… you don’t know what happened.
Harry: And why don’t you tell me?
Me: Alright… I’m going to tell you. This morning, when I went to my dormitory, I saw that Hermione’s costume was destroyed. She blamed me, but then Ron showed us a letter he received. We discovered that the letter was from Lavender, so, while I was repairing Hermione’s dress, he and Nymphadora went to the black lake, to talk to Lavender.
Harry: Oh… is that the truth?
Ron: Of course it is! We would never lie to you.
Harry: Well, I’m sorry…
Me: Everything is alright now. Let’s go to the Quidditch Pitch!
Ron: Cool! How about a race?
Me: Ah! I’m sure you’ll lose…
Ron: We’ll see!
So, we started to run towards the Quidditch Pitch. We were so happy that we were laughing like five year old kids!
Harry wasn’t running. He was walking and he looked very sad… maybe he was thinking about Nymphadora.
Then, we arrived.
Me: I won!!!
Ron: No you didn’t! *and he started to tickle me*
Harry: Stop flirting, you two!
Wow… Harry wasn’t happy…
Then, we took our brooms and started to play Quidditch.
Fred flew towards me.
Fred: Hey, Pink Mimi!
Me: Hi Fred!
Fred: Well, we were thinking… today you’ll play as a chaser, and if you do that very well, we’ll tell Oliver Wood to pick you for Gryffindor’s Quidditch Team. What do you think?
Me: That’s wonderful! Thank you!
Fred: You’re welcome, Pink Mimi! Now, let’s play!
So, we started to play. Ron was the Keeper, so it was very funny to try to make some goals!
Then, I noticed that Nymphadora wasn’t playing… she was down there, looking very sad.
Me: I’m worried about Nymphadora… maybe I should go talk to her…
Fred: No, keep playing! We want you to be in the team! I’m going to talk to her…
Me: Please, let me go…
Fred: I said no! I’m going…
Wow… I’ve never seen Fred so serious. He was really worried about Nymphadora too. So, he went towards her. I saw them talking.
Some minutes later, everyone was hungry.
Ron: I’m starving! Let’s go to the Great Hall!
Me: Okay… let’s go.
So, we left the Quidditch Pitch.
Me: Where’s Dora?
Fred: Maybe she’s in the castle…
Me: Yes, maybe…
When we entered in the Great Hall, I noticed that it was so beautiful! It was decorated with many pumpkins and all of these Halloween stuff. Everyone was wearing their costumes. Me and Ron were wearing ours since this morning! Then, I noticed that Nymphadora wasn’t there…
Me: I’m getting really worried… Where is Nymphadora?
Ron: I don’t know… maybe she’s in her dormitory…
Me: I’m going to look for her!
Ron: I’d like to go with you, but I’m starving…
Me: Alright, no problem… I’m going alone… See you in a few minutes! *and I gave him a kiss on the cheek*
So, I went upstairs, towards our Common Room. When I entered, I saw my pink cat, Morgan.
Me: Hello sweetie! What are you doing?
And then I saw something which scared me…
Me: Oh… your tail… there’s blood on your tail… Morgan, are you hurt?
But I noticed that the blood wasn’t hers, because she wasn’t hurt. Now I was really scared… what happened there? I decided to go upstairs, to verify the dormitories. I entered in the boys’ dormitory and I saw… Seamus and Parvati, kissing.
Me: I… I’m sorry… I didn’t want to disturb you… I just…
Parvati: Go away, Evelyn! *she and Seamus laughed*
And I went away. There wasn’t any blood. So, I decided to check the girls’ dormitory. I entered it, slowly. There was something near the door… and, when I saw what it was, I almost fainted. I fell on my knees.
Me: Nymphadora…
She was fainted… her head was hurt… there was so many blood… she had blood all over her… and she was cold and white… white as a corpse.
I didn’t know what do to… I started to cry.
Me: Dora… who did this to you? Please, wake up! Wake up! Tell me that you are ok…
But, obviously, she didn’t move. No one was in the Common Room, but I needed help. I needed to tell the others what happened, but I couldn’t leave her there. So, I decided to write a message on a little piece of paper. I put it on Morgan’s necklace.
Me: Please, Morgan, give this to Ron.
She left the dormitory. She was an intelligent cat, I was sure she’d give him the paper.
Nymphadora was still fainted and I was even more worried… it was all our fault… we shouldn’t have left her alone…
More or less five minutes later, Ron, Harry, Hermione and the Twins entered in the dormitory. They were pale… and I was crying.
Ron: W… wha… what happened?
Me: I don’t know… when I entered in the dormitory, she was here… she’s fainted… she has blood all over her… so many blood…
Ron: Shhh… calm down… we’re here now… she’ll be ok. *he hugged me*
Me: But… but… who did this to her? Why would someone do this to her?
Harry: I don’t know… but we’ll discover it very soon! I’m going to take her to the Hospital Wing.
Harry took Nymphadora on his arms and went downstairs. He was very worried too, and I could see him crying.
Hermione: I think we should tell Dumbledore what happened… I’m going to tell him.
Me: Thank you, Hermione.
Hermione: You need to rest, Mimi… you look tired.
Me: Yes, there’s a Halloween Party and we can’t go… we have to stay with Dora!
Hermione: I’m pretty sure that Dumbledore will cancel it.
Me: Maybe…
So, she left us.
Me: Ron, will you help me to clean all this blood?
Ron: Of course!
But when we started to clean it, we saw some words appearing… it was like her blood was writing something… something written in the old language of the fairies.
I think I was pale… I almost fell when I read that.
Ron: What’s written there? What happened?
Me: It says “Everyone will suffer… all the friends of the princess… until we have the princess of the fairies with us… the one she loves will be the next”.
Ron: I guess I know who did this to Nymphadora… your aunt and your cousin, Jacqueline and Aislin Silver…
Me: You’re right… I have to go…
Ron: Where are you going?
Me: To the forest… they want me…
Ron: You can’t go! It’s dangerous!
Me: It’s the only way I have to protect you and the others!
Ron: We must talk to Dumbledore! He must know what to do!
Me: It’s all my fault and I can’t let them hurt you! You’ll be the next…
And I started running towards the forest.
