Announcing it

I disguised my smile and made sure my eyes looked red and puffy before entering the classroom. I felt stares on me as i stumbled to me seat. "Ms Riddle?" Umbridge's cheery voice said. "Why are you late?"

My lips quivered as i started telling her:"I, i was in the hos-hospital wing a-and then." Is started letting tears fall from my eyes before continuing. "Knife- and he- then Ron... i." I stopped right there, looking up at ms Umbridge who looked at me with pity. Just then a small sheet of paper came flying into the room, i just caught Rons name on it and ms. Pomfrey's signature.

Umbridge's eyes slid over the paper as I wiped away my fake tears. "Very well." She said sighing. "Inferno." And with that the paper went up into flames. "Anyway, this will not disrupt our lesson. Open you're books at page 196!" She yelled trough out the classroom, not even slightly fazed by Ron's death. Oh well, nobody likes mud bloods anyway.

I opened the book up, sighing as i realised that we were going to learn about the three unforgivable curses. "Read these." Madame Pomfrey said. "Revise them."

"But miss." I couldn't help but start. "It says here clearly that you're supposed to show them to us."

Umbridge turned towards us, her eyes glistening viciously:"You will never use these curses dear," she said in a overly sweet voice. "Why would I need to show them to you?"

"Because," Hermione decided to but in. "Rule number 13 in the Hogwarts Rules Book is that if the books say you have to perform a spell in front of your students, you have to obey."

Umbridge turned towards the filthy mudblood, the fire in her eyes even brighter. "Ms. Granger, would you like to have one of he curses used on you?"

Mudblood shook her head:"No miss."

"Well then i suggest you keep your mouth shut." With that the whole class was told that there was no more arguing to do.

Throughout the whole class Harry looked at me questioningly, as if to ask why i was crying, but since Umbridge seemed so strict, he and I both thought it would be better not to speak up.

Time rolled by as lunched neared. Draco didn't show up, making me wonder but i decided to ignore it as Blaise tried talking to me but I kept shaking him off. Before i knew it i was standing in divination."Hello everybody, I'm professor Trelawney, you're divination teacher. Please choose your seats."

I looked around and saw that there were three seats surrounding a wooden table that held a crystal ball. I saw Draco sitting down on one of the back tables and I joined him, staring cautiously at the third seat. "Hi." I whispered.

"Hi." He whispered back, just as I heard the last seat being pulled back and Blaise settled himself into it. "Hi!" He exclaimed, rather cheerfully.

"Mr. Zabini? So would you like to start with introducing yourself?" Professor Trelawney said, looking up at him. She had frizzy blonde hair that spread itself around her like a cloud. Her clothes were bizarre and colourful as a bandana held her hair together. She pushed her glasses up her nose:"Well?"

"Uhm, well I'm Blaise Zabini and i like quiditch." Blaise spoke nervously. "Ok, now, the girl that's sitting next to Zabini, then Malfoy and so forth... get to it!" She ordered.

I grunted before responding:"I'm Curse Riddle and I like flying on my broom."

Draco followed:"I'm Malfoy and i love myself." He said and I couldn't help but notice how he acted nice to me but different to others.

More people passed by in a blur until it was the golden trio, or shall I say duo's turn. "I'm Hermione Granger and I like reading." Mudblood spoke gently. "And I'm Harry Potter, I like being a seeker." Pothead finished.

"Very well," Professor Trelawney praised. "Now that we all know each other, we should get to work. Everybody grab the crystal balls that are in front of them."

I grunted while picking mines up and placing it in my lap. "Now focus on them with who's your heart, while repeating the word future in your head." The professor said.

"This is useless." Draco muttered from next to me and I couldn't help but agree. "Yup." Blaise butted in.

"Is there a problem?" Trelawney asked us, raising her eyebrows.

"This is useless." Both me and Draco said at the same time. "So you think. These crystals are so much more than just useless!" She spat at us.

Draco and i rolled our eyes as she walked towards us. "Here, let me show you you're future." She muttered, grabbing the crystal from my lap. She did a gesture with her hand and a parchment and quill floated next to her as she looked into the ball the quill automaticity wrote. She muttered some words like:"Interesting. Hmmmm. Darkness and fear. I see. Soulmate?" After she did the same with Draco she handed us both the parchments. "Read those tonight and you will rethink your useless opinion." With that she turned around and walked away.

I looked over to Draco and brought my finger to my temple, forming circles with it as if to say:'She's crazy.'

Draco nodded and mouthed:'She is'

The period flew by as time for dinner came. As usual, I sat down next to Draco, while placing some chicken on my plate. I took a quick bite, before pushing my food around my plate.

Draco raised his eyebrow:"Aren't you going to eat that?" He asked me. I truthfully answered saying no, before turning towards the front as Dumbledore appeared there.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like your undivided attention please." He started. "Today, a tragic event has struck Hogwarts. You might be wondering why Ron Weasley isn't present." He paused, looking around the room, his gaze resting on me fire longer than necessary.  "I would like to announce the death of me. Weasley." Gasps and cries left the room.

"No!"
"How?"
"He's my brother! He can't be death!"
"You're lying!"

"Silence!" Dumbledore boomed as everything went silent, except for the occasional sobs. "As he is our friend, I think that we deserve to know how he died. Well, as there was only one Witness, I would like to call her here, so she can tell everybody how he died. Curse Riddle!"

I confidently stood up, letting my head hang as i stood in front of the microphone. "Today, some of you might've wondered why i looked so sad when I entered DADA." I started, letting my eyes glide over the public. "Well, just before that Weasley had started feeling dizzy. I had took him to the hospital wing, since we were walking together. There Madame Pomfrey left to get some ingredients and that's when it happened. I don't know what it was, it looked like a figure with a cloak and a hood. It scared me as it walked up to us, and before I could process what happened he stabbed Weasley and apparated." I finished, letting a few tears slide down my eyes.

I looked around to see most people looking at me with sympathy, but i caught one icy cold one. Potter.
