okay, I am posting the next part.

Chapter 20

Half of the Gryffindors were sitting in the common room, and quite uncharacteristically, doing homework. A thick book on Defense against the Dark Arts was leaning awkwardly against another pile of books. The girl sitting behind the book pulled her knees up to her chest and read from about two feet away, barely making out the words because of it's small font.
She suddenly felt a searing pain in her right arm. Clenching her teeth she grabbed it with her left arm. A little too quickly and conspicuosly.
A few of the studiers looked up at her and she grabbed her book with her left arm and put her right stiffly to her side. She raised her eyebrows at the people staring at her. Now, attempting to ignore it, she left the armchair for the girls' dorm which was vacant.
It felt like the sleeve of her black sweater was sand paper rubbing against an open wound. She felt herself breathing more heavily than normal, tears threatening to show in her eyes. She had ignored it before, and it was getting its revenge at her now. She wouldn't let herself cry though, she wouldn't. The mirror in the corner of the room showed her her own pathetic expression and she forced it to harden. She turned away from it, disgusted.
She slowly pulled up her sweater sleeve gasping. Underneath was a skull with a snake wrapped around and through it. It burned bright and menacingly and she cradled her arm to her chest then pulled it away to look at it again. Using her left hand she attempted to see if she could heal it. It faded slightly, as well as the pain, but it was still burning brighter than it ever had before. It hurt almost as bad as it had when her skin was branded with it. Her own flesh being burned before her very eyes.....
But that had only lasted a little while and then faded, this was too consistent, it couldn't be as easily gotten over.
She heard a creak and a gasp behind her and wheeled around, pulling down her sleeve as she turned. Standing before her, and looking between rather angry and outright livid were Ginny Weasely and Hermione Granger.

I know, it's short.....and I bit of a cliffhanger hehe

......but the next chapter will be good i promise
