I some how found my way here, but didn't want anyone to know me, so the girl that has been letting me stay with her died my hair blonde." She looked around hoping everyone would believe the story. It was mostly true. To protect them they had to believe it. "I'm sorry I upset all of you. I just couldn't face losing my competitions in front of you mom and I knew you were disappointed I didn't want to go back to Hogwarts." Then she looked at her friends with tears in her eyes. "I didn't want to hurt you guys anymore either. That's why I can't go back."
