Update to Harry Potter Story
‘I was supposed to meet Professor McGonagal. She needed to talk to me.’ Estes thought to herself.
“It is not of importance” Estes said to herself in a harsh voice.
“Excuse me? What did you say Estes?” Hermione said stopping in the Doorway of the great hall.
“N-nothing” she said hesitantly
The two girls walked over to their seats at the Gryffindor table. Sitting by harry, and Ron, for the first time had she felt awkward to be where she was.
‘Ron, I’m so sorry about earlier, I didn’t know what over came me.’ She thought, a sudden urge came over her to apologize to him, but no words came from her mouth. Something was stopping her. Something strange was controlling her every move. Never before had she felt so weak, so defenseless.
“WHAT? YOU MUSN’T SAY THAT!” Estes sprang to her feet, shouting in a deep voice. Every eye lay upon Estes.
“What’s wrong with you?” Harry whispered to her.
“Er-uh…..Nothing really, I er, just was thinking to myself…” She looked from left to right avoiding all the faces that stared at her. She sunk low in her seat, her face turning red from embarrassment.
‘I need help! There’s something seriously wrong!’
“Nothing is wrong!!!” Estes demanded.
“Huh?” Hermione said, “there’s no need to shout Estes. We understand that there is nothing wrong, there’s no reason to repeat yourself.”
Everyone finished eating their meals, and attended their classes, while Estes walked back to the dormitory. She decided to rest. Her head was pounding.
Estes walked down a darkened corridor, She couldn’t see anything but the mere darkness before her eyes.
Was she dreaming, Or was this for real? She could not tell, It felt like she was in this daze, She controlled nothing but her thoughts.
“But Albus, we mustn’t frighten the students by informing them of this news,” Professor McGonagal said in a hushed voice.
“We have to tell them sooner or later, keeping such a secret from them will put their lives in danger.”
“But, they will soon panic once they realize the danger they are all in.” McGonagal spoke with a worried tone.
“We will tell them soon, McGonagal, We will tell them soon,” Dumbledore said calmly.
‘What was that all about?’ Estes wondered, as she turned around to head back toward the dormitory.
“Estes, What are you doing out in the corridors at this time of night?” Snape’s voice was heard within the darkness.
“Severus?” Estes said shocked. A Gleam of hatred grew in her eyes.
“Do not address me in that way, Estes.” Snape demanded.
“Sorry…..uh, f-father?” she said.
“Go, To Bed…. Not another word.”
“Yes father.”

Harry stumbled into the divination classroom and sunk into his seat. He was wandering off in sudden dreams as he closed his eyes to sleep. He let his head fall on the table in front of him.
“Harry!…..Harry! Wake up!” Hermione pushed harry out of his chair, knocking him on the ground.
“Oh Deary me!” Madame Trelawney said shaking her head frantically with fright, She brushed stray hairs away from her eyes, “H-Has Mr. Potter been taken by death already? Oh, I knew this day would come! Call Madame Pomfrey! Quickly! QUICKLY!” She snapped her fingers at Hermione, “Make yourself useful child!”
“Madame Trelawney? I think he’s just asleep.” Ron Slowly said.
“But…..of…course. I knew that! Why Wouldn’t I know that? Potter dies by He-who-must-not-be-named” Trelawney held her finger up as if she had proven something and walked off to the front of the room leaving harry on the floor, “Now class! Enough of this! Today, my dears, We learn how to tell the future by the CLOUDS!” She said making a huge sweeping motion with her hand towards the roof.
“Follow me, my dears.” She said in a shrill voice, starting out the door, “Oh Dear, Mr. Longbottom, please wake Mr. Potter up!”
She led them out into the fields near the forbidden forest. She took a deep breath before speaking to them.
“Now, As we all look up into the sky, all you can see is clouds. But thou shall open your horizons wider, to tell the future upon the shapes of them, my dearies.” She looked around at her students, each of them stood there less enthusiastic as harry did when he was asleep.
“You can only tell the future when it is on cloudy days, and since the shapes are always changing, Your futures are told by clusters of clouds and the main weather within that region.”
“Huh?” Ron said confused, “what do you suppose she’s babbling about this time?”
“I wouldn’t care!” Hermione remarked.
“Now, Who would like to go first?” Madame Trelawney smiled awkwardly at the group; She pushed her hair out of her face as she looked around at them, “AH! How about Mr. Potter!”
Harry stepped toward her timidly.
“Don’t be afraid Mr. Potter” She grinned, “Just tell me, What is your birthday?”
“Er, July 31st.” he said
“Good! Good! Now lets see!” She closed her eyes, trying to recall all the information within her head, “You belong to the West region.” She pointed up toward a small section of clouds, “Harry, what are the shapes of the clouds you see?”
“Uh, er… a claw, a snake’s eye, a ribbon, and a cauldron.”
“Ah, good…. Now…..Wait, a snake’s eye?……oh, oh dear me, this is terrible!” She backed up, her large eyes grew wider with terror. “A snake’s eye means you will be killed tragically by a friend.”

Ron walked next to Harry and Hermione as they slowly walked off to their next class.
“Hey, I didn’t see Estes in class today, That’s strange…Where is she?”
“I dunno, She hasn’t really been acting her self lately…It’s as if something had taken over her,” Ron said.
“That’s Rubbish! She was perfectly fine at lunch yesterday!” Hermione shouted at Ron.
“You think blurting out absolutely nothing, is perfectly fine Hermione?” Ron said back to her in the same tone.
“Fine! Suppose something IS, wrong with her, What can we do about it?” Hermione said sternly, “NOTHING!”
Their conversation was interrupted as George and the girl he was with at the dance walked up to them.
“Hello Courtney, hey George.” Hermione greeted them both.
“Do you know where Estes is?” George asked.
“Er, no, why?” Ron answered.
“Because Professor McGonagal and Dumbledore are looking for her.” George said, “sounded serious.”
“Heh, Heh,” Ron tried stifling a laugh as he looked down the hall not paying any attention to the conversation he was supposed to.
“Ron! What are you gawking at?” Hermione asked angrily, As he pointed down the corridor.
Draco leaned against the wall, Crabbe and Goyle stood infront of him. Kelsie marched up to Draco, pushing his two companions aside. Her cheeks were flushed with anger.
“DRACO!” She glared at him evilly, “You will pay for cheating on me!” Power surged through her hand as she bashed him in the face, knocking him to the ground. She walked away with a satisfaction filled grin. Everyone around Draco roared with laughter.
Everyone headed back to the great hall for their evening meals. Harry could barely keep his eyes open.
“Harry, what’s gotten into you today? You keep falling asleep!” Hermione pushed him a little to wake him.
“We, didn’t get much sleep last night…Quidditch practice ran late. After all, the game is on Friday.” Ron said after taking a huge yawn.
“Oh, You can’t be serious, They can’t expect you to play good if you don’t get enough sleep!” Hermione said Angrily.
“Of course…..not….b-cuse…..Sirius is…dead…..” Harry said half asleep.
“Oh, honestly harry, sometimes you’re not the brightest crayon in the box.” Hermione said using an American phrase.
“ ‘Brightest crayon in the box?’ ” Ron repeated her.
“Estes told me that one.” Hermione answered. She ignored Ron for a moment as she watched several of unknown faces walk into the great hall, “wonder who they are?”
“Who cares?” Ron said sheepishly.
“Maybe I do!” Hermione snapped.
“Ex-excuse me do you think I could sit here?” A girl with long golden blonde hair stood before them.
“Yeah, sure….” Ron said.
“I’m Courtney Hei-” before she could finish her sentence Estes jumped out of her seat, screaming at her.
“GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!”
“I can sit wherever I want, why don’t you leave if you’re so displeased.” Courtney rolled her eyes at Estes.
“NEVER! You may be good at bookwork at home, and that might have gotten you here, little miss ‘I’ve got strait A’s my hole life!’…..But just listen here! You’ve shown your little prissy butt around here one too many times. You cannot come in here thinkin’ You rule over everybody. News flash Hun, You’re just as small and unimportant as the rest of us, you little mudblood! You may be good at reports and homework, but let me tell you this; your spell work could never match up to mine! Why don’t you just go back to Texas where y’all SUCK!” Estes drew out her wand before Courtney could even interpret all that she had said.
No one could stop her before it was too late; Estes had shot a spark out of her wand…Courtney lay motionless upon the floor.
‘Woah…that was kinda cool.’ Estes thought.
“Paybacks is a virtue.” Estes said laughing evilly at what she had just done.
“Es-Estes?” Hermione and Ron said in unison, they both moved a pace away from her, out of fear she would attack them too.
“McGonagal, Take her up to my office, I must have a word with Miss Estes.” Dumbledore spoke sternly, “And take Miss Heins to the hospital wing.”
“P-p-professor Dumbledore?” Hermione stuttered, “there’d be no need to take her to the hospital wing…She’s dead.”
“Albus. This isn’t Estes.” McGonagal whispered into his ear, ignoring Hermione.
“But of course it is!” He said aloud to all who was watching them. He gave a slight wink at McGonagal and then whispered to her, “I know.”
________________________________________________
Greenwood opened her eyes; She lay in the hospital wing. She had lost all memory of the week before. How long had she been in that dream? How long had she been trapped…She had such a strange feeling, when she was asleep, it felt as if everything was real, and everything she had dreamt was really happening. Was it possible that Voldemort had taken over Estes’ body? That he was using her to kill Harry? Estes then kills someone besides Potter. Was it possible that Tiffany had been sent to the hospital wing, then soon after, snuck off and is helping the Darklord with his plans?….But a night later after sneaking away, She soon realizes her state, and regains her senses….
Could that even happen? Traci rubbed her forehead; A slight headache overcame her. She sat up in her bed. Madame Pomfrey jubilantly pranced into the room.
“Ah, Miss Greenwood! You have come around sooner than I expected!” She said, “And how are you today?”
“Uh, good,” She said softly, “I just have a bit of a headache but I’ll be fine. Uh….how long have I been asleep?”
“Five days!” She said enthusiastically, “I’ve never seen someone sleep so soundly, so long! I almost thought you had gone and left us!”
“He he.” Traci giggled.
Tiffany stood in the Slytherin girls’ dormitory. She was lost in a daze…So confused, and defenseless.
‘Where am I?’ she heard herself thinking, ‘What has been happening?’……A rush of cold and black thoughts came to her, memories of the past few days, Her strength returning. Every thing came to a realization….
“No, NO!” She spoke softly in disbelief, shaking her head and wiping a tear away, “How could I…. Have done that…What was wrong with me?”
She paced out of the room, and slowly towards the great hall, where everyone was enjoying their evening meal. She stood in the doorway and watched all her friends. A tear swelled up in her eye. It felt though she had been gone forever, when she had only missed four days. She grinned and sat down at the Slytherin table and began to eat her meal.
“CUZ!” A 7th year girl stood behind Tiffany.
“Alyssa!” Tiffany turned around to greet her with a hug.
“Gorge? Fred?” Kelsie stood behind the two twins.
“Ya, Wut, do oo eed?” They said in unison through a mouthful of food.
“Just wanting to know if you got anything, in pranks and practical jokes for getting back at people?” She said smirking evilly, as she glanced across the room at Draco.
“Our service cannot be used as any form of revenge.” Fred said swallowing his food, as he crossed his arms.
“Shut up!” George said smacking Fred, “That is, they cannot be used as revenge unless you pay extra.”
“Fine…what do you got?”
“It depends, what are you planning to do? We’ve got everything you’d need to get back at someone.” Gorge replied.
“Who are you gonna get back at?” Fred asked.
“Draco.”
“We’ve got what you need!” Fred grinned as he whispered a plan to Gorge and Kelsie.
“It is not of importance” Estes said to herself in a harsh voice.
“Excuse me? What did you say Estes?” Hermione said stopping in the Doorway of the great hall.
“N-nothing” she said hesitantly
