During transfiguration class McGonagall seemed to catch on that something was off with me and about halfway through the lesson stopped the lesson and satdown, transfiguring one of the small boxes I had just transfigured, into a stool and sat down in front of me.  

"So, Daniel, what's troubling you?"

"Nothing."

"Daniel, don't lie to me."

"Fine, I'm worried."

"Care you elaborate?"

"no."

"Please do."

"I'd rather not."

"Daniel, share."

"..."

"Daniel"

"... Fine.  A major... milestone in my life is about to pass in about 4 days..."

"What'll happen for your milestone?"

"I don't know... All I know is that it'll be rough and that it'll take place on the evening of Halloween."

"Will you get injured?"

"Well..."

"Daniel, will the milestone hurt you?"

"It won't if I don't let it."

"What will happen during your milestone?"

"It'll only last a few seconds at most."

"I didn't ask how long it was going to take, I asked what'll happen to you?"

"Think of it like a wave of puberty, that'll hit me all at once. Once I go through it, it says that I'll never be the same."

"What says?"

"The ancient tomes of my people."

"Where are those ancient tomes that you are speaking of?"

"In a place commonly called the 'Ghost Zone.' "

"Were could I find this 'Ghost Zone'?"

"It's a place you could never reach without losing your body for good."

"..."

I could tell she was starting to pout  so I decided that she needed a little tid bit to feel better about herself.  "Here to make your feel better about yourself and not being about to help."  At this point I take out a piece of parchment and write in my native tounge a bit in code and give it to her.

She looks down at the writing and looks down to me, "What language is this in?"

"My own."  At this the bell rings and leave the classroom with a very confused teacher looking down at a piece of paper she most likely will never understand.

The note read (I translated it for you to English)

The one who goes in comes out stronger, or never comes out at all.

No one can help them.

It is something that they must face on their own.

All one can do is pray and hope for the best.

If I never return, know that (these words were written too sloppily to read)

Note: Professeur McGonagall will have to translate it on her own as she doesn't have my own authorly powers ;-)


Well what do you think?
