"OMG!!! YOu won't believe what happened today!"
"Firstly Harry went missing. Then we learnt that Professor Lupin was a werewolf! Not that I didn't know about it earlier but yeah. And after that, we learnt Sirius Black was after not Harry but a man called Peter Pettigrew and that they were all illegal Animaguses/Animagui(?) when they were at Hogwarts."
"And would you believe it!? Ron's rat was Peter Pettigrew! I knew Crookshanks knew sothing was wrong with him!! Crookshanks is the best!!"
"I also happened to figure out why Loki suddenly started to et 'coincidentally' after my classes. It was because he knew about the Ti Turner. I don't know how he knew, but he did. He said he divined it, but I don't believe him. He has that sneaky smirk on his face all the ti as if he is up to sothing."
"But turns out he's really a seer. Professor Snape explained today how there are different sets of people who have magical abilities, beyonders. And he said that Loki was a Beyonder, a Mystery Pryer if I rember correctly."
"Apparently purebloods are special because they are Beyonders. I asked Ron if his family had Beyonders too but he said he knew nothing about it. Maybe his parents don't think he should beco one?"
"Or…maybe they are not well off enough to be one? That explains why Malfoy always calls them blood traitors…at least a little bit."
"Is Daphne a Beyodner too? Did she know Loki was one? Is that why they talk like they're walking on eggshells whenever the topic turns towards Loki's divination abilities?"
"Can I beco a Beyonder too?"
"I'll ask Loki if I can. See you."
"Loki told becoming a Beyonder was not sothing I should even think about. He said the following and I quote, 'Good Beyonders are often guardians but they are also a bunch of miserable wretches that are constantly fighting against threats and madness.'"
"I think he said that just to keep away from becoming a Beyonder, otherwise why would he choose to beco one? And why would the Professors and Nobles beco Beyonders if it was really so dangerous?"
"I want to beco a Beyonder, I shall ask Professor McGonagall if I can beco one to learn about the mysteries of magic. I'm sure she will help ."
"That's it for today, see you."
"I asked Professor McGonagall about becoming a Beyonder after returning the Ti- magical item that helped schedule classes but she was very disapproving of my ambition to beco one."
"She then asked how I knew about Beyonders so I told her what Professor Snape had told . She grew weary as she listened to and asked if I had asked Loki about becoming a Beyonder, I said I did and told her exactly what Loki had told about it."
"Professor McGonagall agreed with Loki's description and said it was an apt statent that was perfect to describe good Beyonders and tried to dissuade but I stood strong since I wanted to understand all the mysteries of magic."
"Eventually Professor McGonagall sighed and told that if after Sumr Holidays I was still just as eager to beco a Beyonder as I am now, she would personally guide along the sa pathway that she is a Beyonder in, she said it was the Mystery Pryer pathway."
"Did she help Loki beco one too? But why did she help him and not ? Am I not good enough?"
"That's it for today, see you!"
"Ron invited to the Quidditch match, it seems Harry will be there too along with Sirius who has begun living with Harry at the Potter house for so reason. Although I don't like Quidditch very much, I think it will be fun."
"Will Loki be there? I haven't gotten a letter from him and I don't know where he lives to send him one through Ron or Harry. I hope he's alright. I shall keep an eye out for him at the camp where Ron said we'd be waiting for a night."
"That's all for today. See you."
Hermione closed her eyes as tears dripped from them.
Her body trembled with fear involuntarily as the small incision on her neck bled freely.
'Is this what Loki ant when he told Good Beyodners fight against madness? Madness like the ones these Death Eaters are displaying?'
Hermione wanted to scream and wail but unfortunately, her mouth was sewed shut with a magical rope that burned her each ti she attempted to do anything.
The only indications of her pain were her reddening eyes and flowing tears.
She glanced over at the crowd that had gotten riled up trying to fight off the Weasleys and a few other good people, trying to stop them from interfering with the ritual the Death Eaters were conducting.
She spotted Harry and Ron fighting those opposing them, trying to claw their way towards her, but Sirius was looking at Nicolas and Prenelle with imnse fear as he kept dragging them back, trying to stop them from doing sothing stupid. But to Hermione, it looked like Sirius was trying to save himself and Harry.
Hermione's gaze eventually landed on the back of Nicholas Flal, a figure she'd co to greatly respect during her first year but one she'd co to despise now.
'Can I even say that what he's doing is wrong?'
'What's wrong in wanting to protect your life?'
'And why would he even give up his life for a foolish person like ?'
'After all, isn't his life as the maker of the Philosopher's Stone worth much more than the life of a random Hogwarts student?'
'Is he a beyonder too?'
'Is he also turning mad? Trying to save his own life in spite of the sacrifices it might take?'
Tearing her disappointed gaze away from the crowd that was fighting in front of her she eventually turned to look at the leader of the Death Eaters who had started the ritual.
'Am I going to die?'
'Just like that?'
Tears flooded Hermione's eyes as she looked ahead.
An unending silent scream never leaving her voice erupted out of Hermione as she grew more and more desperate to struggle for her freedom.
But the Death Eater behind her gripped her hair and held strong after tightening the rope knotted around her, not allowing her to move or fight back.
"I"
"I pray for the power of the Abyss."
"I pray for the power of desire."
"I pray for the Goddesses's loving grace."
"Please accept my sacrifice and bestow the power of rebirth onto this womb!"
"Blood of the servant willingly given, the liquid that belongs to the devil, I pray for you to bestow your powers onto my incantation."
"Blood of the sacrifice unwillingly taken, the liquid that belongs to the abyss, I pray for you to bestow your powers onto my incantation."
There was no sound for a few seconds.
At that mont, be it the leader of the Death Eaters, the Death Eaters themselves, the hostages and the crowd that was split two ways, everyone turned silent.
Suddenly, without warning, the yellowish-orange fla of the two candles turned a deep shade of red.
The flas looked like lips, flickering with desire and mischief.
As the fla flickered for a few more seconds in silence everyone suddenly felt a terrifying gaze down upon them.
An imnse feeling of fear crept up into the hearts of everyone present.
Most people collapsed to the ground, having passed out from the imnse pressure.
Nicholas looked upwards, toward the sky where pinkish-red clouds had gathered around the now rapidly deepening redness of the moon and seed to be preparing for an unstoppable strike.
Everyone awake grew tense and beca nervous.
'Are we all going to die?' Hermione questioned with the last of her consciousness as she looked at the continuously flickering fla that looked like it was about to speak.
She took in everything she could see and was about to lose consciousness when she suddenly saw the fla turn silver-green.
'Slytherin?'
