The rattling continued until the door bust open. "I hate this." One man says as he steps out, a second following him. "Shut up and get her." I look at my side table in the corner of my eye, hoping for something I could throw. Bingo. I spot a quill that looks like it could be sharp enough at an impact. "Looking for me?" I question, grabbing the quill. They turn around smiling, "Lordess" they how in front of me. "Lord Voldemort calls for you."

"How did you find the door?" I question. They look at one another  before standing up and looking back at me. "Lord Voldemort had informed us, you must get dressed and come with us." I shake my head. "I'm not going anywhere." They both sigh in unison and one steps forward slowly. The other- with black hair- closes the hatch slowly as to not make noise. "We just wish for you to come with us, don't make us force you." I chuckle. "As if you could do that." I wait for the one with brown hair- closest to me- to get into the right proximity so I can hit him with the quill. Slowly, counting each step.

One...

two...

three...

Swiftly I successfully stab the brown haired stranger in the upper arm and kick him onto the bed next to me. I needed this to be quick and silent. Quickly before the other can reach me, I snap the neck of the man on my bed and flick my eyes to see the other standing frozen in fear above the small round door. "I won't do anything! Just let me go-" I shake my head. "Of course you can go." He looks at me in disbelief. I smile. "Just help me with this first." I point down at the dead body on my bed. "I'd rather not deal with this myself." Reluctantly I get him to agree to my terms. I watch him as he shakily take out his wand and use a simple levitation spell to lift the body silently and easily. I really needed to learn that, I guess thats a bonus of being here. I gesture for him to follow my as I guide him through the dungeons and just outside of the school property.

"Are we almost there?" I smirk as I guide him through the fields to the cliff. "Almost. Be patient." I stop near the edge of the cliff, "Here." I step back as he guides the body of his 'mate' over the side of the cliff. While he does so, I take the time to stretch out, crack my wrists and get enough room for running start. I let myself shift into my animagus form, it's been a while since I've done so. Finally the black haired boy turns around to see me and his fate. "Wait- I- I helped you!" I take a few strides forward before crashing into him and knocking him off the side of the tall cliff. The sounds of his screams echoed as he fell, following that was a large splash and silence. I sigh a breathe of relief  as now both witness and body have been gotten rid of. I never even realized the sun had started to rise. I'm not not how I could've missed such a thing, because it was truly beautiful. I smile at the sight and let the cool seaside breeze brush through my fur. I decided to stay for a little while and watch the sunrise, it wasn't everyday I woke up this early.

By the time I got back it was time for classes, it wasn't like I could skip them unfortunately since it was end of year soon, I will say it's quite unfortunate that I was recruited here halfway through the school year. During lunch break I decided to find Oliver again, maybe this time he would listen and help me... maybe...

I spot him almost immediately sitting alone, reading at one of the benches near the fountain. I smile at the sight, I'm not sure why it is but, I kind of miss the guy. I make my way over slowly and sit next to him. "Whatcha reading?" I don't get a response. "Oliver please.." he closes his book and stands up. "When will you get it pads?" I stand up aswell. "So what if I don't? I just... I dunno...." He sighs and rubs his temple. "I'm sorry..." I'm actually begging someone now. Never in my life had I thought I would stoop this low and beg for forgiveness. I'm not even sure why I'm doing it... I just miss the company. Here I'm all alone, my only option being Tom and his messed up cult. Oliver looks at me right in the eye. "I'm only doing this for your own safety." He places a hand on my shoulder, I grab it before he can walk away. "I thought I told you I can handle myself." He frowns at this. "This is a little more then what you think it is." I sigh, frustrated. "I don't care about it being a dangerous I just- I miss you okay?" I let go of his hand and look down at my feet. "For the first time I'm truly alone. I'm so used to having my family with me and your the only one who I've met who isn't bat shit crazy-" I don't even notice it until he grabs my hand again, but I'm starting to tear up. "Let's go somewhere else." I nod and let him guide me through the halls and to an empty corridor. I can't believe myself.

Once we're alone he gives me a hug. "As strange as it is, I kind of miss you too." I sniffle. Looking slightly up at him... he must've grown or something... "Can we just get back to being friends? I won't treat you like I did before. I promise." Reluctantly he nods and wipes the single tear that fell down my cheek. It felt strange, him holding me like this and looking at me so caring... is this what having a friend was like? I smile and hug him one last time before coming back to my senses. I push away from him gently. "Well wasn't that embarrassing?" I chuckle. "Class is going to start soon so you later!" I smile one last time at him before jogging away. I can't believe I let my emotions get the best of me... even though it was so nice.



I know another short one but trust me, I've got big plans for the next chapter one that I'm sure you guys will love :)
