People Aren't Always Right

"I hate myself!" Parvati whispered to herself very late at night. How? How did I do it? How?! Grr...how? I'm just going to try to go to sleep. Grr...how?!

After about an hour of tossing and turning in her four-poster bed, Parvati finally got to sleep. Her blonde hair was everywhere. She started kicking in her sleep, running, but not getting anywhere. She started moaning and kicking her feet faster and faster! Tessa woke up and walked over to Parvati's bed.

"She's having a nightmare..." Tessa whispered and sat down at the end of Parvati's bed to watch.

:Parvati's Nightmare:

Parvati walked into the girl's bathroom to see some of the Gryffindor girls there, waiting for Gossip of the Day something Parvati had made up last year.

"Parvati, what's the gossip today?" Lavender asked, excitedly.

"Err..." Parvati had just found out that the gossip she had planned was not even believable, because Pansy would never go out with Ron. Not in a million years. She had to find some gossip. SHIT! She thought to herself.

Just then, a toilet flushed and an incredibly skinny girl, with long red hair came out of the stall. She went over to the sinks and washed her hands. She looked at the large group with a confused expression on her face. Shook her head, and left.

Parvati got a brilliant idea. "That girl, the one that just walked out of here, is the gossip."

"Do tell!" they all screamed at once

"She's...err...she's...anorexic!" Parvati shouted before she could think about what she was saying.

"WOW! I knew it! I always knew it! She so looks anorexic! I knew it! GOSH! And I always thought I was stupid! All through 1^st-3^rd year! I knew it! 4^th year I finally learn it's true! YES!" a girl a year younger than Parvati, squealed.

"Shut your mouth! You talk too much!" Lavender shouted at the girl. She shut her mouth instantly. "There, that's better."

:Parvati's Nightmare Over:

Parvati sat up in bed, sweating buckets. She looked at the end of her bed and stared into the face of the girl she had spread rumors about. The girl that had done nothing to deserve what had happened tonight. The girl which had haunted her dreams for the last week, and the guilt train, had finally pulled into the station.

"Hello, Parvati," Tessa whispered.

Parvati just looked at her eyes. They were transfixed on Parvati's pale face. Suddenly, Tessa's green eyes flashed and Parvati's head was fiercely thrown against the headboard.

Parvati was in agony as her eyes became unfocused. She saw two of everything. Two Tessa's were too much. She closed her eyes, and then opened them. Everything was one again.

"That was just a warning Parvati, don't mess with me..." Tessa got up and got back into her own bed. She glared at Parvati a little longer then put her head on her pillow and went to sleep in five minutes.

Parvati couldn't sleep, she was afraid she was going to have another nightmare, or Tessa would do something to her. If I told someone, would they believe me? Parvati asked herself. She slid down into her bed and laid her head on her pillow. She lied there, thinking about what just happened. What am I going to do?

* * * *

Parvati woke up in a sun lit dormitory. The other girls were getting dressed in their normal clothes, not the school uniforms.

"It's Saturday!" Lavender squealed with delight.

"Well, that doesn't mean to go around acting as if you have no brains," Hermione said while deeply engrossed in a book. "Tessa here has her priorities right." she motioned her hand to Tessa, who was sitting on her bed reading Hogwarts, A History.

Tessa smiled at them all, but when she got to Parvati she stopped smiling, and her lips became thin. Her eyes looked as though they had fire in them. She then went back to her friendly smile.

Parvati went over to her dresser and got dressed in a long black skirt and a short sleeved white shirt. She stuck on her shoes and headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

Tessa's eyes followed Parvati out the door, then once everyone else left she pulled out a black notebook. She pulled out a pen and started jotting down stuff. Then she put it away, stood up, and walked out of the dormitory.
