Destiny

Not A Morning Person

~Zoe's POV~
"Hello little children" a voice squeaked "I've been expecting you both". I was in a dark, dreary room, Albus by my side. I couldn't see the face of the man who spoke but I could tell he was old. "Now Albus. Let's welcome our guest" Albus's usually emerald eyes turned white and he walked towards me, hand threatening to clasp on my throat. I desperately ran backward unsure and what to do. Finally he backed me up onto the wall behind me and took a hold of my throat. I couldn't breath, I couldn't think.
Suddenly I woke up, gasping for air. Octavia looked over at me "you ok?" She whispered groggily, wiping the sleep out of he eyes.
I nodded, painting a smile on my face "bad dream".
"Your really having a bad first day" she said, her head falling back onto her pillow allowing her to go strait back to sleep. I didn't have that luxury.
I tried to get to sleep but I was still shaken from my dream, wondering if I should tell Albus about it. If I told him he would just be as scared as I was.
Finally, sleep caught up to me.
I was sound asleep when someone hit me in the head waking me up. "School isn't on today mum, let me sleep in" I mumbled groggily.
"Wake up sleepy head" Octavia's voice yelled, hitting me again "we're gonna be late for breakfast".
After about five minutes of Octavia hitting me with a pillow, I finally got up. "Please don't do this every morning" she begged.
"I'm not a morning person" I crossed my arms grumpily.
I got up and got ready to the great hall for breakfast and then our first classes at hogwarts.
We walked out of the hufflepuff common room and into the great hall. Whispers erupted when I walked in. Kids held their breath as I walked by and some ducked their heads down in a hope I wouldn't see them.
We could sit at any house table at lunch so I'd wait until then to tell Albus, Rose and Max about last night. I had decided I would tell them about the dream.
"Do you feel like floating yet?" Asked a boy next to me.
"When I float it means I'm possessing my next victim. Your next" I raised my eye brows at him and then calming went back to eating breakfast.
"Your definitely no push over" Octavia mumbled in awe.
"Did you expect me to be?" I laughed.
She thought about it for a minute "a little".
I chuckled and then got up to go find my first class. We had transfiguration with the ravenclaws.
Despite being the headmaster professor McGonigal was our transfiguration teacher. She looked very worried from last night. "Ok class settle down" she said. "Some of you might think that transfiguration is a useless subject. It doesn't help in combat, so why learn it?" Professor McGonigal gave a long speech about why we should learn transfiguration. The entire class she spent telling us about how to reverse what you have done and blah blah blah. I did warn 5 points for hufflepuff though for answering a question right. Rose got 10 though.
My next class was history with Professor Bins and the griffendors. Me and Octavia arrived and chose a seat, and then max sat next to us. "Where is this teacher" I grumbled "it's sad when students arrive before the teacher".
"So students today we are going to learn about the-" suddenly a transparent figure flew through the floor. I knew I wasn't the only to be shocked by this. It turns out that this ghost was actually our teacher.I totally didn't throw some salt at him a few times because I thought he was just a random ghost trying to haunt us with information. Yeah well just a tip, salt doesn't work on ghosts.
This teacher was seriously boring, I would have fallen asleep if it wasn't for Max throwing paper falls at me every 5 seconds. Other students around us were talking, Octavia was flirting with her reflection and Max was still throwing paper balls at me. He didn't say a word or even seem to enjoy it but he kept doing it. That boy is persistent.
Finally came lunch where I could talk to Albus and the others. When I found rose she was talking to a fellow Ravenclaw.
When I walked up to her she waved hi and continued talking to the Ravenclaw who refused to acknowledge that I exists.
"Hey" I said once she was done talking but the Ravenclaw just walked of angrily like I had offended her by kindly greeting her.
"Well that was rude" I pouted to Rose. "Oh yeah and this is Octavia" I said pointed to Octavia who was behind me "she knows about everything, and a few extra things I need to tell you guys."
"Something else happened?!" she asked enthusiastically.
"Way too many things" Octavia cut in "creepy things" she shuddered as if a ghost had just walked through her.
"Let's go find Albus" Rose said ignoring Octavia, taking my wrist and walking off.
It didn't take too long to find Albus and Max who were both talking to a teacher named slug horn.
"Your father and mother were both in the slug club too you know? They had lots of fun!" He pleaded enthusiastically.
"I'm really glad to be given this opportunity but I probably shouldn't because of all my studies" Albus whispered nervously.
"Ok but the club is always here if you want to join" slughorn slumped and walked off.
A wave of relief washed over Albus's face "finally. I've been denying his offer for 5 minutes".
"We can hear about that later, Zoe wants to tell us something that happened" Rose bounced.
"You seem way to enthusiastic for something that's very sad" I noticed.
She shrugged "it's not often I get to live up to my mothers legend around hogwarts".
"She's not wrong" said Albus.

We found a nice and private place to sit and I told them the story.
"So you started levitating? Just out of no where? And started speaking another language?" Rose confirmed.
"Yep" I agreed.
"It was suuuuper creepy" Octavia cut in.
"What do you guys think" I turned to Max and Albus but Albus seems to be lost in thought. "Albus? Albus! ALBUS!!" I yelled snapping him out of his trance.
"I was just thinking, you said the voice was hissing right?" I nodded, not sure where he was going with this. "What if he was a snake?" We all looked at Albus like he was nuts. "Just hear me out ok? Think about it. Hissing? Snake? Makes sense".
"But that doesn't explain how I understood it or how I was speaking another language" I said.
"There's only one language you could be speaking to snakes-"
"parseltongue" Rose cut in gloomily "but she's not a gaunt?"
"I don't understand it either, but right now it's the best explanation we've got."
We all sat in silence for a second before Octavia said "now it's time to tell them about the dream" so I told them.
"It's just a dream though" Albus nervously chuckled "it's not like I would actually do that to you."
"In my dream it wasn't you though" I explained "well it was you, but no you in your right mind. He must've possessed you."
"It's still just a dream" Rose said plainly "it doesn't mean anything".
Me and Max looked at each other knowingly, a demigod dream is never something to be ignored, especially something like this.

~Albus's POV~
The bell rang and we all ran off to class. I had history with the Ravenclaws so I was going to get lots of possible theories about what's happening to Zoe all throughout the period. I walked there painting a smile on my face and saying hi to all my fellow slytherins. Drake, the boy I overheard last night seemed very happy to see that I gave him a fist bump.
History was extremely boring. I'm pretty sure professor Binns didn't even know he had students and he was just talking to himself. Rose still wrote notes though, and she still managed to write down and explain possible theories to me. She was crazy smart.
But half way through class I heard something that caught my attention.
"And that's when the fake prophecy of 1238 was proclaimed" Binns droned on but suddenly stopped when I put up my hand.
"Why was the prophecy fake?" I asked.
"The prophecy never came true" he answered and then went back to his lesson.
"Rose" I whispered "we've gotta find that prophecy" she nodded.
It seemed like a shot in the dark, but it could be something that could help us.
After history was lastly, potions with the Hufflepuff's. And slughorn. He had tried to recruit me for his dumb slug club and wouldn't let me leave the hall way until he saw Zoe. In potions we took notes the whole time and I couldn't sit next to Zoe because Slughorn put me and Scorpious at the front next to some other kids. After class I caught up with Zoe and told her about the prophecy we learned of in history.
"This prophecy is probably one relating to the past. Since it's in the past" she said sarcastically.
"It could also be our prophecy. I have a really strong feeling about this. Just trust me ok?"
"I trust you" she smiled "but there's something else as well. My parents went to this school. When I asked them if they did they said no. So they lied to me. I want you to help me find out why." It was less of the question and more of a I help you you help me sort of thing.
"I promise".
