"Where am I? Am I in the same world with Tom again or th-the other memory also. . ." I looked around me, but I couldn't tell where I am.

"Where are the twins?!"

My eyes widen, I turned around and saw many maids, butler and knights running around. Then something caught my eyes, and it was thirteen tall, handsome boys in a princes clothing, black hair and red eyes, seems like they are siblings. "Go find them!" One of them yelled.

"Your highness, th-the two-twins are mi-missing. We co-couldn't find them." The maids bowed as they were sweating hard, I can feel them that they are terrified of those thirteen boys in princes clothing.

"Where do you think they went?"

"THAT'S WHY WE ARE LOOKING FOR THEM; WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE." One of them glared at their brother.

"Search all over the place again, NOW."

"Yes, Your highness!"The maids, butler and knights bowed and went all over the place.

I-I'm scared, why do I feel like they are looking for me all of a sudden? I felt chills going to my body as all of them look so angry but not able to find them.

But then the scene changes, it was the Goddess Empress and the Emperor with some two other more adults.

"YOU CAN NOT JUST PLAN ALL OF THIS WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION, BROTHER HOW COULD YOU! PLANNING ON MAKING OUR ONLY DAUGHTER INTO A NEWBORN AGAIN!?"

The other man grabbed the emperor's collar; he looks angry. His anger issue reminds me of Kayden somehow.

"Because we know that your daughter is with our twins, hiding them. You know those three cousins, especially *********. Your daughter ****** and our daughter are the best of friends. And we are sure she asked her to hide them." The emperor spoke.

But then the scene changes once again.

It was three people in a cottage.

"******, thank you so much for helping us." The white hair girl smiled and embraced the other girl.

She has golden eyes and golden hair, almost as blonde.

She chuckled "This is only a triviality, but I can not promise that they'll never find us here. A handful of people know about this place." she poured some tea for them.

"That's alright. But you realise that you'll get yourself in crisis for hiding us, right?" The black hair boy sat down next to his sister.

I feel like. . . I have seen this place somewhere.

The golden hair girl smiled as she took a sip of her tea "I am aware of that."

"And. . ."

The twins looked at her with curiosity.

"I am also aware of both of your father and mother are planning to turn me into a newborn alongside both of you, but I am sure they'll reincarnate me instead."

The twin's eyes widen, the white hair princess slammed her hands to the table.

"And you're alright with that!? ******! You are also a princess!"

"However, Your Imperial Highness. . . I am also a knight who is in charge in the war and even your wellbeing." she placed her tea back down to the plate.

She's a knight!? A princess and a knight? Brilliant!

"But, I am quite surprised that there's someone brave to eavesdrop on our conversation." the three of them turn towards me.

I woke up from my sleep, I looked around, and I was in the hospital wing. Sweating, my throat is dry.

I grip the cloth of my chest area "This dream. . . It feels like it had happened already to me; I do not understand." I dryly spoke.

"Y/N! Thank goddess you're awake now!" Aunt Poppy run towards me along with my other aunts and uncle along with grandpa.

"How long I have been asleep?" I asked.

"Almost a week."

Almost a week? Thank goodness it's not way too long.

"I'm sorry about missing classes." I sat up and apologised.

"You don't have to feel sorry; we were so worried." Aunt Minnie embraced me, not letting me go.

"Hey, have you guys seen Justin?"

"Justin, who?"

I rolled my eyes "Justin Finch-Fletchley, the boy who almost got attacked by the snake." I said.

"Oh, he's over there." He pointed on the corner of the library.

But then I paused, I turned towards Kayden "Where is the snake that you took?" I asked.

"I gave it to Halycon."

"Your falcon!?"

She nodded "I was actually thinking of killing it but then, " she chuckled and stood up. "I remembered that flacon eats a snake, so why not." she shrugs as she took another book from the shelf.

"Are you not scared of it?" Amaris asked.

Oh, and the Lupus siblings are with us, despite from the rumours going around that Kayden and I might be the Slytherin heir, but they ignore them.

"More like the snake was afraid, didn't you saw how tightly she was clenching the snake?" Wolfgang sat down and opened his book.

"And if you don't shut it, I'll do the same thing to you. I still have no idea why you two are with us even though we could probably be the heir of Slytherin." Kayden crossed her arms.

Amaris smiled and hugged me "I do not believe them, also if you two are the heir at least you two are not killing people."

What's with people hugging me lately.

"Well, I need to talk to Justin now." I smiled at her and went over to a group of the Hufflepuffs who should have been in Herbology were indeed sitting at the back of the library, but they didn't seem to be working.

Between the long lines of high bookshelves, I could see that their heads were close together, and they were having what looked like an absorbing our conversation. But I couldn't see whether Justin was among them.

I walked toward them when something of what they were saying met my ears, and paused to listen, hidden in the Invisibility section.

"So anyway," a stout boy was saying, "I told Justin to hide up in our dormitory. I mean to say, if Potter's marked him down as his next victim, it's best if he keeps a low profile for a while. Of course, Justin's been waiting for something like this to happen ever since he let slip to Potter he was Muggle-born. Justin told him he'd been down for Eton. That's not the kind of thing you bandy about with Slytherin's heir on the loose, is it?"

"You think it is Potter, then, Ernie?" said a girl with blonde pigtails anxiously.

"Hannah," said the stout boy solemnly, "he's a Parselmouth. Everyone knows that's the mark of a Dark wizard. Have you ever heard of a decent one who could talk to snakes? They called Slytherin himself Serpent-tongue."

There was some solemn murmuring at this, and Ernie went on, "Remember what was written on the wall? Enemies of the Heir, Beware. Potter had some sort of run-in with Filch. Next thing we know, Filch's cat's attacked. That first year, Creevey was annoying Potter at the Quidditch match, taking pictures of him while he was lying in the mud. Next thing we know - Creevey's been attacked."

"He always seems so nice, though," said Hannah uncertainly, "and, well, he's the one who made You-Know-Who disappear. He can't be all bad, can he?"

Ernie lowered his voice mysteriously, and the Hufflepuffs bent closer, I edged nearer so that I could catch Ernie's words.

"No one knows how he survived that attack by You-Know-Who. I mean to say, he was only a baby when it happened. He should have been blasted into smithereens. Only a really powerful Dark wizard could have survived a curse like that." He dropped his voice until it was barely more than a whisper, and said, "That's probably why You-Know-Who wanted to kill him in the first place. Didn't want another Dark Lord competing with him. I wonder what other powers. Potter's been hiding?"

"Then how about the two Slytherins? They also spoke in parseltongue."

"Y/N and Knight? Well. . . I am not sure about Y/N; she's too lovely." Ernie sighed.

"But remember the house ghost reminds us not to make her mad for our sakes?" One of the other Hufflepuffs spoke.

"Then how about Knight?" Hanna asked.

"That's where I am sure of it. But who knows? Also, I heard that some students saw her roaming around at night, but the professors don't seem to care. It's like they're letting her." Ernie placed his hand under his chin.

"I mean, she's part of the royal family. Maybe that's why?" he continued.

"But Y/N. . . There are chances. But let's just not make her angry."

"Too late." I stepped out from behind the bookshelves. If I hadn't been feeling so angry, I would have to find the sight that greeted me is funny: Every one of the Hufflepuffs looked as though the presence of me had petrified them, and the colour was draining out of Ernie's face.

"Hello," I said. "I'm looking for Justin Finch-Fletchley."

The Hufflepuffs'worst fears had been confirmed. They all looked fearfully at Ernie.

"What do you want with him?" said Ernie in a quavering voice.

"I wanted to tell him what happened with that snake at the Dueling Club," I fixed my robes and glared at them.

Ernie bit his white lips and then, taking a deep breath, said, "We were all there. We saw what happened."

"Then you noticed that after I spoke to it, the snake stopped?" I snarled.

"That's the same thing that Potter told us! All I saw," said Ernie stubbornly, though he was trembling as he spoke, "was you three speaking Parseltongue and chasing the snake toward Justin."

"We didn't chase it at him!" I said, my voice shaking with anger. "It didn't even touch him!"

"It was a very near miss," said Ernie. "And in case you're getting ideas," he added hastily, "I might tell you that you can trace my family back through nine generations of witches and warlocks and my blood's as pure as anyone's, so--"

"- I don't care what sort of blood you've got!" I yelled fiercely. "Why would I want to attack Muggle-borns? I am friends with the other muggle-borns despite that I am a Slytherin."

"Also. . . Don't think it's Kayden, wanna know why?" I grinned, then I walked towards them; I could feel my eyes wants to change to red.

I went closer as if im trying to whisper something to them "because she would kill them instead of stunning them." I whispered and smirked.

I moved away from them and saw their reaction; they are frightened.

"I didn't know I would get exposed by you, Y/N. Don't be a snitch. You'll scare those poor kids."

Kayden appeared with a book on her hand and chuckled "look how terrified they are; they look like they're going to pee at any moment." she tilts her head.

Kayden and I went back to our table and saw the boys and Amaris talking while studying, then they saw us.

"I was out a while ago to take something then I saw Hagrid and Potter talking, Hagrid holding a limp rooster." said Ben.

"he said that it's the second one killed this term," he explained. "It's either foxes or a Blood-Suckin Bugbear; he mentioned that he couldn't need the Headmaster's permission to put a charm around the hen coop." he continued.

"Is be still out there? I need some questions."

"About what?"

About the book he gave me, the Goddes and the demons and why he gave it to me.

"Nothing." I smiled.

"Kayden?"

"Yeah?"

"Care to accompany me?"

"Sure, why not."

Both of us stood up and went out of the library, both of us looked around the halls, but he wasn't there anymore.

But we saw Harry walking "Harry!" he turned around and smiled at us. "Hey Y/N and Knight. It's nice seeing you awake Y/N." he embraced me.

"Thank you, oh, and where are you heading?" I asked.

"The Hufflepuffs dorm."

"Could we go with you? I need to talk to Justin too."

He nodded "sure."

We three stamped up the stairs and turned along another corridor, which was particularly dark; the torches had been extinguished by a strong, icy draft that was blowing through a loose windowpane. We were halfway down the passage when Harry tripped headlong over something lying on the floor and Kayden snickered.

We turned to squint at what he'd fallen over and felt as though our stomach had dissolved.

Justin Finch-Fletchley was lying on the floor, rigid and cold, a look of shock frozen on his face, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. And that wasn't all. Next to him was another figure, the strangest sight we had ever seen.

It was Nearly Headless Nick, no longer pearly-white and transparent, but black and smoky, floating immobile and horizontal, six inches off the floor. His head was half off, and his face wore an expression of shock identical to Justin's.

"Oh no. . ."
