• Part 13 - The task •

It had been a routine for professor Quirrel to stare at me.

He was so weird.

And he always looked like was gonna shit himself.

"I think Quirell has a crush on you Lyd"

Draco perked up at this angrily,

"Who has a crush on Lyd!"

I swear I heard him cuss under his breath as he looked down.

"Ohohohohohohohoo Malfoy getting protective?"

"Shut it Blaise!"

"Yeah yeah"

"Quirrel doesn't have a crush on me! He's a teacher!"

"Then why does he keep looking at you like that!"

"Maybe he's just...spaced out!"

"Mhm suureee...just spaced out every single time we have breakfast, lunch and dinner"

"Maybe, you don't know!"

———

Classes had finished and me and V were sat in my room studying.

But really we were just eating sweets and planning my wedding...

We headed to bed and that's when I heard him.

See you soon princess.

"No no no no"

"What's wrong Lyd"

"I can't block him he's t-to strong"

"Y-your d-dad?"

"Yeah"

Tomorrow I need you to do me a favour.

"NO NO NO"

"LYDIA"

I felt my legs beneath me collapse and felt my head smack of the cold floor.

I was in the forbidden forest again.

This can't be happening.

I've been doing so well.

"GO AWAY"

"No"

"PLEASE STOP THIS!"

"Stop shouting and listen!"

I began to cry.

Stop crying. Stop crying.

"Are you crying?! CRYING IS FOR THE WEAK!"

But the more I tried to stop the lump in my throat only grew.

"P-please go away!"

"Your pestering angers me, I have a task for you...and if you fail...I will kill those close to you, Vaicey...Draco...Blaise...Crabbe...Goyle? Which one should I pick?"

"S-STOP!"

"then do as I say! Tomorrow on Halloween once Quirrell warns the hall I need you to make sure that Harry Potter finds the troll"

"T-troll?"

"Yes, I will release the troll into the dungeons and you will lead him to it so that the troll will take him to me, I'll kill him...get my revenge and then take over the wizarding world"

"Y-your...BACK!"

"Well, not fully...I'm on the back of professor Quirrells head"

"N-no this c-cant be happening"

"Are you in?"

"NO!"

"Then say goodbye to your precious friends-"

"F-FINE!"

"Good"

And with that I woke up in the hospital wing looking up at a worried Vaicey and a terrified Madame Pomfrey.

"H-he's back!"

"W-who dear?"

"N-never mind"

I should probably keep this to myself.

"C'mon Lyd I think you should get to bed"

"Y-yeah thanks V"

———

"Is your father really back?"

"U-um-"

Tell him and I'll kill him.

"NO! I mean...he's in my head...yeah back in my head"

"I'm so so sorry Lyd...this must be really hard"

"Thanks V"

———

As I lay my head on my pillow I knew that there was no way I was getting to sleep.

How could he get in my head.

I was constantly using my occlumency.

Yet he still managed to get in my head.

And what I had to do.

How would I even do that?

I was going to lead Harry into a death trap.

And this whole time my father was...well on the back of professor Quirrells head!

That's why he was always staring at me.

Tomorrow is gonna be a longggg day.
