IN the dark ((Fiona ONLY))

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz opened her eyes. She stayed laying down wondering where she was. It took her a couple of minutes for her to realize she was in Hogwarts. She wondered what had happened, and how she arrived there. ‘I was in Diagon alley’ she thought continuing ‘then I heard people screaming. I looked out the window and saw a giant’s foot over head then stomping on top of the store that I was in.’ She didn’t feel bad, she was happy enough to be alive. She remembered Diagon alley was attacked around one o’clock. She sat up, and looked around. She couldn’t believe it. The hospital wing was packed, but it seemed that everybody was sleeping. She wondered what time it was. She try to lift her right arm from under the sheets but apparently her shoulder was damaged along with a broken wrist which still hurt since Madam Pomfrey was attending those who were injured critically. She looked at her wristwatch making sure not to move her wrist even more. It apparently was mid-night. She felt her stomach grumble from hunger. She then looked to her side seeing who were her bed neighbors. On the left side there was a girl with vibrant red hair that was up to her waist. She recognized her immediately. It was Fiona. She squinted to see if she was awake since the lights in the room were off. Fiona was awake, looking board. “Fiona” she called in a whisper… “Fiona”. She sat there waiting for a reply.

[Fiona O'Reilly S5]

Fiona stood outside Flourish and Blotts. People were running and screaming, but Fiona was frozen to the ground. Her new book was plastered to her chest, she was hanging on to it with dear life. Her eyes were focused on a giant that seemed to be falling. But it wasn't falling to the left or right and it was falling forward. It was falling backward and within seconds it would be squashing her. Fiona couldn't move, she couldn't even breathe. It wasn't real, it wasn't true. As the giant fell closer and closer to her Fiona realized it wasn't a dream. Yet, she couldn't will herself to move. Just before it hit she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and her arms let go of her book. Down to the ground she went and her wand arm went behind her back to break her fall. As she hit the ground more weight was forced against her body and she felt her arm pop. Pain erupted through her arm as she looked at what had caused her pain. Someone was laying on top of her, but she couldn't see who it was. Her vision blurred and then blackness over took her.

Fiona awoke in the hospital wing in Hogwarts. She tried to move, but the pain in her arm flared. She couldn't remember how she got there, but then her mind flashed back to the events that had occurred earlier that day. 'Diagon Alley was attacked! Who saved me?' Fiona asked herself. She didn't know how she had ended up at Diagon Alley, but she didn't care. She laid in her bed for hours while the darkness continued. She heard a few other students talking, but Madam Pomfrey seemed to have quickly quieted them. Fiona began to count the different designs in the ceiling when she heard a familiar voice next to her.

"Hello?" Fiona asked as she turned her head. Her eyes had adjusted to the darkness and she saw Rosaliz sitting in the bed next to her. She hadn't realized that she was there. "Are you okay? I didn't realize you were here," Fiona said as she tried to sit up enough to see Rosaliz over the small table next to her.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

"I'm fine" Rosaliz said. "I'm just lonely that's all." she continued. She notieced that Fiona was still in pain. She then asked Fiona "you want anything? I'm going to wonder around the castle to the room of requirements. I need some food and some badages. My cuts aren't treated and I need to stop the bleeding."

Rosaliz looked around. She couldn't spot Madam Promfrey anywhere. She slipped out from her bed trying not to move her arm. She noticed she still had the clothes on from ealier in the day but it was ripped and torn including blood stains. She was glad that she at least had something on. She listened to her surrondings while getting out of bed makeing sure she heared Fiona's reply.

[Fiona O'Reilly S5]

Fiona smiled at Rosaliz. She was still the same even with the pain and blood. Fiona looked around quickly and ignoring the pain in her arm quickly got out of bed. She smiled brightly at Rosaliz. "I'm not going to let you have all the fun," she said with a smirk as she held her left arm close to her body. She had figured out it didn't hurt so much when she did that. Fiona noticed that her clothes had been the same ones she had been wearing during the attack. She wondered where Madam Pomfrey had gotten to and why she hadn't bothered to heal Rosaliz or herself. However, there had been a steady stream of people in and out of the hospital wing all day and only stopped a half hour ago. It seemed that were still pulling trapped students and others from the rubble.

"All right, I think Madam Pomfrey went to check on some students that were set up in a different room. After all, there weren't enough beds in here. I'm sure we could be back before she noticed, though I think she kind of forgot about us," Fiona said as she looked at Rosaliz. She was waiting to see if she was ready to go or if she was having second thoughts about wandering the castle so late at night. Fiona wondered if Filch was still on the prowl even during the summer holidays. She shrugged to herself and then regretted it when her arm burst into pain. "Okay, better leave before she gets back," Fiona said through clinched teeth. She waited for Rosaliz to lead the way. She'd stay in the rear watching the path behind them.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz saw Fiona get up from bed. She was ready to lead the way. She walked towards the door, which were opened widely, as if they forgot to close them. She knew that Fiona was near by. “We have to go down stairs she said. Luckily the hospital wing was on the second floor. Rosaliz kept a look out for anybody coming around. She then went to the stairs and started walking down them. She was pretty sure that Fiona was right behind her. She waked down the empty, dark hall. She passed by the great hall until she made it to the kitchen. Right near I was a big painting that stood on the wall. It was the entrance to the room. Rosaliz closed her eyes and thought to what she needed. She opened them and saw a door had appeared. She pushed it and walked inside. On the far left the room there was a shelf with special remedies. She looked around the room. There was a bathroom door, and inside was a shower and a toilet, including a sink with towels near by. Out of the bathroom, there was a rug in the middle of the room that had black leather chairs on top of them and a coffee table in the color of dark green. On top of them there was two sets of clothes in the color of black. One was in the size for her and the other for Fiona. She walked towards the shelf and started to apply, medicine on her. She then said “Fiona come and put some on to heel your arm…I’m going to take a shower to keep my self clean. After I finish we can sit and have a chat.” She said smiling.

[Fiona O'Reilly S5]

Fiona quietly followed Rosaliz out of the hospital wing and to the room of requirement. She hadn't been there in a long time and she was eager to go back. Fiona quickly stepped into the room behind her and looked around. "Nice," Fiona tole Rosaliz. She had done a good job on getting a medical like room. She moved to a chair and sat down as she cradled her hurt arm. Rosaliz wanted her to heal her arm, but Fiona didn't want to. She wanted to remember this pain so she could remember what she needed to do to follow the Dark Lord. This pain was nothing compared to the pain she could suffer while following him. "I don't really need anything. I'm not going to heal my arm. It needs to be burned into my mind as a reminder," Fiona said softly as she watched Rosaliz. She didn't know what her response would to her last comment, but she was eager to listen.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz listened to Fiona's last comment 'she does have a point' she thought. She then said "that's true but if Madam Promfrey wants to heal it? what are you going to do?" asked Rosaliz while grabbing the clothes from on top of the coffee table. She then said "Fiona I'm going to get my self a shower help your self to some food" she said closing her eyes imagining it. She then opened her eyes and the food had magically appeared. Rosaliz then walked in the bathroom and took a shower. The water was nice and refreshing. After she finished she put on the clothes that were in all black, and combed her hair. She walked out of the bathroom and back into the seating area.

[Fiona O'Reilly S5]

Fiona looked up at Rosaliz as she asked her about Madam Pomfrey. "I'll have to let her heal my arm, but I'd rather deal with the pain for as long as possible to serve as a reminder," Fiona said. She wanted to just let it heal on it's own, but she knew it probably wouldn't and she was left handed. She knew that if she just let it go her arm would be useless for the rest of her life and she didn't want that. However, she would wait as long as possible until Madam Pomfrey actually healed it. She needed to remind herself of the experience. She was embarrassed by the fact that she hadn't moved when she saw the giant start to fall. As her thoughts turned back to that day, she began to wonder who had saved her. She couldn't remember what they looked like and what she did remember was blurry. Fiona sat thinking until Rosaliz came back out of the bathroom.

Standing up quickly, Fiona forced a smile. She was glad to see Rosaliz, but some things were just not that happy in these kind of times. Fiona took a deep breath before she asked Rosaliz a question she had been pondering. "How'd you get hurt?" Fiona asked.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz walked to Fiona and Fiona asked how she got hurt. At first she was cluless to what she was asking and then she knew she was asking about Diogon alley. " I was in a clothing store, and then I heard people screaming. I looked out the window and saw a giant’s foot over head then stomping on top of the store that I was in. That's about it I don't even know who pulled me out under the debris." She said sitting down on a black leather chair. She then asked "Fiona, what happened to you?" She looked quit in pain, her skin almost pale as it can get. Rosaliz looked at Fiona's left arm, that appearently had been broken. She sat there waiting for Fiona to reply.

[Fiona O'Reilly S5]

Fiona listened to Rosaliz tell her how she had gotten hurt. She was lucky. Fiona took a deep breath as she felt her shoulder. It was still incredibly painful, but she wasn't going to let Rosaliz know that. However, her normally beige skin had turned a ghostly white. She didn't care how pale she had gotten though, it was more important that she ignore the pain. Fiona grabbed an apple from the table before she began her story.

"I was in Diagon Alley, buying some books. You know me, I'm always buying a book. Today it was an Advanced Potions book. I just came out of the store and watched everything transpire. I was too much of a chicken to run; I was frozen to the spot. A giant began t o fall down and someone pushed me out of the way. Someone in a dark cloak. I don't know who it was. I passed out after I dislocated my left shoulder. I had landed on it by accident when I had been pushed down," Fiona said with a sigh. She wanted to know who had saved her, but she didn't think she'd ever find out. The weird part of it was that she hadn't noticed anyone wearing black cloaks except for the Death Eaters. "I wish I knew who saved me. I have this odd feeling that I know them. What do you think?" Fiona asked as she turned her attention to Rosaliz. She had always seemed to turn to Rosaliz for advice and she was hoping that she could today.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz listened to Fiona talk about to what happened to her. Rosaliz knew she was going to ask for some advice and apparently she had. Rosaliz thought back to that day, Fiona was right only death eaters were wearing cloaks. She then came to a conclusion not knowing if it was right or wrong. “Fiona I think it was a death eater that saved you. But they had to do it for a reason. This means your valuable and they need you for something. Somebody cared for you, to have pushed you out of the way because there were plenty of fourth years getting hurt and I didn’t see any getting save d from death eaters, and some were in Slytherin. You posses an important quality and you’re gifted and loved by it. Now you know somebody is watching you and protecting you from danger. I kind of wish somebody would have done the same thing to me” Rosaliz said looking up wondering what Fiona had thought to what she had said and how would she respond.

[Fiona O'Reilly S5]

Fiona bit her bottom lip as she listened to Rosaliz. She wasn't sure if it was true or not. There were just too many things that seemed to hinge on who saved her. She wished she knew. But what Death Eater would save her? "I don't know, Rosaliz. I don't know if it was even a Death Eater. Besides, the only one that would have saved me like that would have been my da. But he's dead. It must have been somebody else," Fiona said as she took a bite of the apple that was still in her hand. She was so hungry and the apple was juicy and sweet.

Fiona was worried about the attacks. She wasn't sure who else had gotten hurt. She had only caught glimpses of them as they passed her. She of course, wasn't hardly hurt and she wished that Madam Pomfrey had healed her to begin with so she could be back at her uncle's thinking over all the information she was now thinking about. 'If only I could have seen their face,' Fiona thought to herself. She realized that she needed to go back to her home in Ireland soon. She knew there things in their dungeon that needed to be sorted through. Her father had always kept a journal and right now she needed to find it.

Fiona's attention returned to Rosaliz as she forced a smile on her concerned face. "What do you make of the attacks? Do you think they were done for a reason or were they some kind of distraction for the real reason?" Fiona asked with interest. She had been debating that for awhile and she wanted someone else's opinion. She took a few more bites of her apple as she waited for Rosaliz's reply.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz really didn't feel like debating over somthing that could be true but a possiblity it wasn't. But hse answered Fiona's question any ways "I think that the attacks were meant for a reason. Death eaters have been, locked up in Azkaban so I guess they wanted revenge or something. I would be heated to if somebody locked me up." she said with a smile. She started to think of the time when she found out her father was mad of all the non-sense that the Aurors had put for reasoning. She then bit her lip trying to hold in her tears and took an apple from the coffee table to. She wondered why the death eaters had attacked Diagon alley. She looked at Fiona waiting for reply.

[Fiona O'Reilly S5]

"I guess the question is debatable," Fiona sighed as she looked at Rosaliz. She knew what she believed, but she didn't know if it could be proved. She hadn't heard anything about anyone else being attacked, but she still didn't feel that it was the only reason they attacked. "I guess I believe it was sort of used as a diversion. For what I don't know. I haven't heard anything else that would suggest Death Eaters, but I don't feel like they would just risk everything like that. Two giants and a bunch of Death Eaters. What if they all were killed, there had to be some other reason. I don't see the Dark Lord just making them do that and risking their lives if he didn't have something else planned. I mean he needs all of his supporters to win this war. He must have had another reason," Fiona said as she stood up. She was tired of sitting and now that she was on a role with this conversation she didn't feel like sitting down. "I mean, tell me Rosaliz. If you were the Dark Lord would you risk your supporters to just attack a bunch of students and other wizards and witches that don't matter? Or would you do that to use it as a diversion for the real plan? Something that would make you even more powerful and great..." Fiona said. She was pacing back and forth trying to search her memory of everything she knew about the Dark Lord. She couldn't think of any reason why he would do that, but she felt like it had been a diversion.

Fiona finally collapsed back in the chair. "I don't know. I was just trying to come up with a good reason for him doing all of that. Do you think I'm daft?" Fiona asked as she bit her bottom lip. She always thought she sounded a bit daft when she talked about the Dark Lord. She just had such a passion for him that it usually showed in everything she did. She had too much pride in him and that was one of her faults. She looked at Rosaliz with questioning eyes as she waited for her reply.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz was surprised when Fiona asked her if she was daft “what-?” she said chocking on the fruit she was eating. After swallowing it, she answered, “Fiona I don’t think so but what would give you that idea?” she asked with an alarming look on her face. Then Rosaliz started to ask herself the same questions wondering if she was daft of lord Voldemort. She then asked Fiona “do you think I’m daft?” she said with a worried look on her face.

((OOC: I applied for another charrie and she's going to be in Slytherin! ))

[Fiona O'Reilly S5]

"I don't know. I don't know anything anymore. I didn't expect this attack. Not while I was there. They didn't even care. Why didn't someone warn me? I mean after all, my father was a great Death Eater. He supported everything the Dark Lord ever did and now I'm sitting here with a dislocated shoulder saying that I think it was right. People died Rosaliz, not that they didn't deserve it, but I just don't see why I wasn't told about this. Why was I left in the dark?" Fiona asked with questioning eyes. She never understood why things just happened to her. It was like she was cursed and she just couldn't get away from it. Her parents die within a few minutes of each other leaving her orphaned and living with her uncle who was too scared to follow the Dark Lord. She needed someone stronger than that. Someone who would help her on her way to glory. She needed them and they were gone. She needed the Dark Lord, but he had forsaken her. Fiona stood and turned from Rosaliz. "I'm going back to the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey will be realizing that we're not there, so I think I'll go up and get my arm healed. I need to be alone for a while Rosaliz. I hope you don't mind," Fiona said as she walked through the door. She didn't wait for Rosaliz to reply. There were too many things running through her head for her to concentrate on the thoughts of someone else. Fiona held her arm close as she sneaked back to the wing.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz listened to Fiona. She was really worried about her. She knew her as a close sister and knew that the troubling of the attack made her wonder of the dark lord. She then watched Fiona get up and leave the room. Rosaliz didn’t bother to get up. She didn’t care if she was caught. She knew that Fiona needed time for herself and so did she. She also knew she was going to suffer threw it her own self. ‘Why?’ she thought. ‘Why’ was the question floating in her head? She frowned at this. So many things happening quickly. So serial she thought feeling dizzy seeing things rush threw her mind. Rosaliz couldn’t take it anymore. She kept telling herself ‘the dark Lord is right. He is right.’ …… ‘This doesn’t feel right’ she said thinking to her self ‘If he is right why would he risk his death eaters?? Or maybe he doesn’t care about them and just a self-fish powerful wizard? No, no, he’s not self-fish’ this time Rosaliz was starting to have a fight in her mind with her own taught. ‘Am I starting to have the second thoughts of the dark Lord?’ she asked herself and then it hit her Fiona having second thoughts of the dark lord!!! ‘Oh my gosh!!’ She thought. ‘This can’t be happening!’ Rosaliz had a temptation to go talk to Fiona but she said she wanted to be alone. Still sitting in the sit she was still drifted off in her thoughts. ‘Is it my fault that Fiona is probably having second thoughts?’ she asked her self. Rosaliz was to worried to think of an answer. She just sat there wondering in her thoughts about the dark Lord.
