Made by the AMAZEing Cassiopia Malfoy!

CHAPTER ONE

The boy with slicked back blonde hair looked at me, well not AT me, but through me. Nobody ever looked at me, not anymore. I sat with my legs crossed, on the boy's bed. Not that he knew. I know what you're thinking, STALKER, but that's not true. I was in my room. He had invaded it, taken my posters down and put up his own. He had changed the bed, he had changed everything and called it his own. I can't really blame him, I mean, I had disappeared off the face of the planet and my family moved away without me...

I sighed, he was an interesting boy. He had troubles, I knew. His father was a death eater, as was his grandparents. His mother was okay, but not exactly the best at showing her emotions. But as of right now he was shoving everything a trunk, getting ready for his first day back to Hogwarts. He was entering his third year. I realized that it also marked my second year of, how to put it? Marked my second year of invisibility to the rest of the world.

I remember that day well, because it was supposed to be my first day of Hogwarts.

~FLASHBACK~

I woke up happily, my first day of Hogwarts! We lived close to the train station. I had my stuff packed for over three days. My parents were going to take me and my older brother to the train station, where we would go to platform 9 3/4, board the Hogwarts Express and go to Hogwarts!

We all drove to the station, and as I watched my brother disappear behind the barrier between platforms 9 and 10, my remembrall rolled out of my pocket. I had gotten it for my eleventh birthday. I ran to catch up to it, when I bumped into an odd looking women. She had a pointy chin, a thin face, tall witches hat, long robes, and a pinched expression on her sour face.

She stared down me with her beady little eyes, and snarled, "A girl that cannot watch where she goes," she picked up the remembrall with her crooked hands, "should not be watched at all."

I blinked at her in confusion, "Huh?" I asked simply.

She ignored completely then walked away. I would have sworn that her hand bumped my elbow, but I didn't feel it. I ran back to the barrier and through it. I boarded the train, being un-able to locate my parents. I found the compartment where my brother, William, was sitting.

"Hey William," I said, "Have you seen Mum and Papa? I wanted to say good-bye to them."

He didn't even look at me. I glared at him, we had gotten into a fight in the car on the way there, so now he was giving me the silent treatment. I walked in front of him and waved my hand in front of him, he didn't even blink. I then punched him on the arm, or, tried to. My arm went right through him. I screamed....and he still din't reacted..

I watched the rest of the school year, as he discovered that I was missing, when I didn't show up for sorting, even though I was sitting right there. I tried desperately to get someone to see me, but no one could, not the house elves, not the portraits, not even the ghosts. I still experienced first year. I went to classes, meaning I sat in the back and watched while no one acknowledged me. I still flew, kinda. I sat on the back of my brother's broom, even though he never saw me.

So there I was, watching this boy, my age. I had accepted my fate by now, I was live out my life as a ghost, more then a ghost, just a being. It was a lonely life. But it was mine.

I followed the boy to the train station, he walked there, dragging his trunk, broom, and owl, with him. I walked beside him silently, ready to begin my third year. We boarded the train together. He set in his compartment, I sat on the floor under the window. This was my brother's graduating year at Hogwarts and I started, as did the blonde boy, when William entered the compartment. "William," I whispered, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry that you can't see me."

"Mind if I sit here?" William asked.

"No, go ahead," the blonde boy responded.

"Thanks, I'm William by the way, William Stone."

"I'm Scorpius Malfoy. Um...you are the one who's sister went missing right?" Scorpius asked uncomfortably. I didn't realize Scorpius knew about me at all.

William nodded sadly, "Yes. Bethany. She came with us to the station her first year, then, nothing..." he shook his head, still mystified at how I went missing.

I sighed deeply. Scorpius cocked his head slightly and turned his head towards me. He squinted, but still looked through me. I held me breath. But then just shook my head, I was being dumb, there was no way he could see me. He turned back to William, "I'm sorry about your sister William. I'm sure, wherever she is, she is proud of you," Scorpius said, he looked embarrassed after, but I could tell he thought he said the right thing. And he did, and I was.

"I am proud of you William, I am," I said quietly, I never talked loudly anymore.

"Thank you Scorpius, but I doubt it. We had a fight, right before she went missing..."

Scorpius obviously didn't know how to respond, but I did, "William! William Stone, I am right here. I don't care about that dumb fight. I miss you William! Stop blaming yourself please..."

Scorpius looked confused again, "Did you hear something William? I thought I heard a girl's voice..."

William shook his head, "No."

Scorpius sighed, "Oh well, probably that high-pitched Weasley girl in the next compartment over, not that I don't like her or anything, she's just loud..." Scorpius covered quickly.

William smirked, the subject of me forgotten. I sighed and curled up under the window again. This would be a long train ride, and a long year. Also I realized that after this year, when William graduated, I would never see him again. Why? Because they moved away after my first year, and I don't know where the live, then William would get a job, and move again, and I would be stuck following Scorpius around until I "graduated".....

Then what would I do?

This plot has me! So original! the writing isn't horrible at all and the story has caught me interested.

So I guess I'm your first fan!

Oh.my.god! This is amazing! You're first chapter has a very good start. It is very intriguing and keeps the readers interested to the very end.

Now I'm curious to know how the girl get dissapeared, will someone find out about her condition, and HOW does Scorpius sense her presense??? Interesting to see that you actually included him in your story. It's nice to hear about characters that have not been covered much in the book.

So here I am, you can officially count me as one of your readers.

PAMS! (please?)

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, these comments are great! You'll just have to wait for more if you want an answer, and I now have...two readers! Haha, I'll try to get some up tonight.

Bing Bong! ( No, I'm not mad, just a little eccentric, it's how I say hello! You may see Ping Pong, Ding Dong, etc etc)

This is a très interesting and good!

( I'm not French either, I'm just good at it! )

PAMS!

You can count me as a reader. Your third reader!

( Third Time Lucky )

YAY! three readers, and thank you so much And French, is awesome, but I am not good at it.

Disclaimer: I wrote all about Harry Potter. Oops, wait...wrong person. I own my characters and Jo Rowling owns hers.

Autor's note: Dedicated to my first three readers You know who you are. And also to Cassie Malfoy, because I know she would have been the first if she had been here to read it.

CHAPTER TWO: The Missing Found? Not quite...

The train arrived at Hogwarts, as usual. I got on a carriage, as usual. I sat down at the Hogwarts feast, as usual. It was on the way to the common room that was different. Normally I just float to a random common room, last year I went to Ravenclaw, my first year I went to the Gryff's, so this year I would try Slytherins, and just go through people. I had gotten used to it. By float, I meant walked, I couldn't float like a ghost, even though I could walk through walls. This time though something happened.

I collided with something. I did not go through it. I ran into it, and fell over. It was a person I ran into, and the person fell back. We both blinked stunned. He looked around, he looked at me. Correction, he looked through me. No one ever looked at me. But, no one ever felt me either. And he just rammed into me..."Hello?" we said at the same time, him more loudly, trying to find the fiend who bumped him, me seeing if he could hear me.

He blinked, not hearing me, and he stood up. I walked over and poked him. Yes, I was being childish, but I had my reasons. He jumped, "Peeves! Peeves you git, stop fooling around, show yourself!"

Despite his strong voice, I could see his shaking hand. He was scared. I was happy. I was happy because he had felt me! He felt me! I did this odd little dance in the hall way, and I was sure that if anyone was able to see me, they would think I had lost my marbles, and hey, maybe I had. I laughed, loudly. I was loud, for the first time in a long time. Why? Because he had felt me! He acknowledged my existence! I cocked his head when I laughed, but I didn't stop.

"That.." he began shakily, "that isn't Peeves voice.."

I jumped, and stopped laughing. He had heard me too? "Y..y..y..ou c..c..can hear me?" I stuttered, shocked. He could feel me, he could hear me, but he couldn't see me?

Scorpius stood more firmly, "Who are you, ghost? Are you a friend of Peeves? Show yourself."

I crossed my arms and glared at him (Yeah, because that sooo helped me), I stepped quietly so I was now right in front of him, "You, are the git. I am standing right in front of you. I am, I say it again, am NOT, a ghost. I can't show myself, if I could I would be happy to oblige."

He lept backwards, shocked that I had sounded so close, and so angry. "Well what in the bloody heck are you?" Scorpius yelled.

"I am not a 'what'. I and a human being, and there is no need to be such a potty mouth..." I went on to mutter under my breath, "Great, the first person to acknowledge me, thinks I'm a 'what'."

His voice lowered, "Where are you? Why can't I see you?" His eyes roamed around the corridor, trying to spot me.

Flopping on the stone ground with a, thud, I sighed, my anger subsided and tears sprang to my eyes. "I don't know..." I whispered loudly enough for him to hear me. "I just don't know. You are the first person to feel or hear me for the past two years, and everyone thinks I'm missing, my brother blames himself," I choked, and now I started to sob, my shoulders shook, rasping breaths escaped my unseeable mouth, and lonely tears rolled down my invisible cheeks.

Scorpius looked like he had been stunned. Who could blame him? He just bumped into someone he could see, and was listening to some random girls tears, and he could even see where she was. And yes, I understand that it is impossible to listen to a tear.

His faced changed then, like things finally made a connection, "You're Bethany, Bethany Stone. William's little sister, the one who wen missing.."

I nodded, realized that it was lost on him, and instead whispered as I wiped away my tears, "Yes."

It was a small word, but it was that word that summed up my entire situation. I was missing, in a sense. No one could see me, no one could here me, no one could feel me. I was missing to the rest of the world. Until the day Scorpius Malfoy and I rammed into each other as I floated down the halls, marking my second anniversary of this curse.

:: AUTHOR'S NOTE, as much as it pains me to write this, it must be done. Poor, poor, Bethany Stone. Plus it is a rather humorous part..::

We were inturuppted by, of all the people in Hogwarts, William Stone.

William was a prefect. He received his badge in his fifth year letter. So him finding Scorpius out with a girl (meaning me, of course) when they should be in common room, was bad. But is it worse for him to find Scorpius there alone? Well, it was for me.

"Scorpius? Why are you still out here?" William asked him, using that annoying 'prefect' voice of his, where he pretended that he cared about the rules...but I still remembered receiving that toilet year, his first year, when I was seven. Where he got the inspiration for THAT one, I'm not sure.

"Erm..there's a girl...and.." Scorpius trailed off, not knowing how to word this. So I decided to make it easier.

I stood over, walker over to William and said, "William? William Steven Stone, I am right here..."

He didn't even flinch. I reached out, and tried to touch his cheek, instead I just went through him.

"You were out here with a girl?" William's eye brows knitted together, I sighed and walked away from my brother, I stood silently next to Scorpius. "Aren't you a little young to be out here, alone, with a girl?"

Scorpius's jaw dropped, "You think I...gosh no! I ran into a girl and I was, helping..her," he finished weakly.

I scoffed, "If 'helping' is the word you want to use."

"Oh, shut up," he snapped at me.

"Scorpius, I haven't said anything," William responded testily, "now get to your common room, I wouldn't want to have to report you to Professor Slughorn."

Scorpius nodded, visibly annoyed, but subdued. William turned to leave but Scorpius burst with another question, "So William, you honestly haven't heard anything other then...me and you?"

"Nothing but the castle creaking," William answered, oblivious to the meaning of the question, "now get to bed."

Scorpius nodded, wordlessly, and started walking to his common room. I followed him, silently.

Once in the common room, he stopped and turned, facing the air a foot from my face. "Over here," I said.

He turned and got close to seeing me, he now looked directly over my head, "Am I insane? Is that why I am the only one who can hear you, and feel you?"

I blinked and stared at him, "You think you're the insane one? What about me? No one can touch or hear or see me, and it has been like that for the past two years. Now someone can hear and feel me, but can't see me, and brother can't even tell I'm in the country."

Scorpius seemed to consider this, slowly he began to form a question, "How? How did this happen? You must know something?"

I replied huffily, "I know plenty, including who did this to me, but the how is still a mystery."

So I told him my tale. I explained how right before I crossed to the other barrier I ran into that strange witch. How the witch said, "A girl that cannot watch where she goes, should not be watched at all," and how after that no, human, ghost, portrait, house elf, or being, could see, hear, or feel me.

He spoke finally, "So the witch cursed you. That has to be it, she was a grouch, she was mad you ran into her, and she cursed you. I don't know why she cursed you, or why I can hear you and touch you but not see you, while no one else can. I say we go to the headmistress with this."

"NO!" I exclaimed, Scorpius looked confused.

"Why not?"

"Why in general? Do you want to be submitted to the luny house?" I replied quickly.

"Well yes, Luna Lovegood Whats-her-new-last-name, is very nice. I would love to go there."

I glared at him, not that it effected him at all, "Not what I meant, fresh-mouth. I meant, how can she believe you, and not like I can back up the story if she can't hear me. It won't do any good. Plus, I've lasted this long, I can wait until I die...."

Scorpius cocked his head, in a way I had gotten used to, "Can you die? I mean, if someone tried to stab you, would it go right through you? And if a spell was aimed at you, would it hit you?"

"First off," I said, noticing a pattern, "Why do you assume that that is how I would die, by someone killing me? And second, this enables people from seeing, hearing, or feeling me. I can walk through walls and can't pick up objects. But I think I can die. Not by own hands, but I can die."

I realized I had added, 'not by my own hands,' which I knew was true. I could not kill myself, and I had tried. I tried to stab myself, but I could not pick up the knife, I tried to jump in front of a curse (stunning, but you never know..) and it didn't work. I had yet to find a find a cliff to through myself off of, which is the only way I think I could kill myself, so until then, I was stuck in life and I had to deal with it.

Now looking at Scorpius, I wondered if this discovery would make it easier, or or harder.

Awesome chapter! There were a few spelling errors and such like interrupted but nothing too big!

I loved it and can't wait for more!

Thanks! I believe most of my posts will have some spelling errors, I try to fix them I'll try to get more up soon!

zomgzomgzomgzomg!

SCORPIUS! and William, they are just too adorable!

Hm, Bethany, hmmm.. BUT WHY CAN'T SCORP SEE HER? I mean like, he can touch her, and hear her.

Where's Albus and Rose? *is nosey*

I freaking love this story, like, seriously, but I'm curious as to how you got the idea from a cough.. Is it because you can feel and hear coughs but you can't see them? *has weird theories*

Anyway, *steals Scorpius* looooooooving it!

pamspamspamsplease!

-Gabbehxxx

The cough thing..that's not really why but, it makes sense so lets go with that!

Rose and Albus will have small parts in this, but they will come in. I thought you would enjoy William and Scorpius.

And thanks soo much! *But you can't keep scorpius, it would ruin the story*.

-Abbehxxxxx

Oooh annother awesome chapter! I think I like it better than the first one. It keeps getting better. The part that William interrupted was annoying but I have to admit it was hilarious. Now William probably thinks Scorpious is out of his mind. It's also sad that Bethany had tried to kill herself. I can't imgaine how it muct feel to be invisible all the time and no one ever hearing you. Wait the headmistress is Luna??? Awesome! And one last thing I'm relaly curious to know (and hope) is whether that there'll be a possible romance coming along? hint hint!

Awesome chappie! PAMS PAMS PAMS!!!

Thanks! I actually thought the first chapter was better, so thanks!

I hadn't meant that the headmistress was Luna, but that is a good idea......::thoughtful::
And there will definitely be some romance.

Thanks again!!! xD

Ding-Dong!

-jump around-

SCORPIUS CAN SEE HER!

-glomp tackles Scorpius-

PAMS!

CHAPTER TWO: Part twp

The next couple days went by smoothly, I would talk with Scorpius when we were alone, not about much really, but it was enough for me that someone could hear me. I attended classes still, but now, if I didn't understand something, I could tell Scorpius and he would ask the teacher.

It worked the other way around in potions. I was naturally good at potions, just like the rest of my family. So when had trouble, I would simply pick up his arm, after tapping him on his shoulder so he knew, and guide it through the steps, while telling him what he was doing wrong.

Well, until once when the teacher seemed to see the blank look over Scorpius's features as he blanked out, as he did often when I was nagging on what he was doing wrong, and starting yelling at Scorpius. I laughed, he glared at my general direction.

When I said, "Serves you right for not listening," I heard the girl, who I was standing by and had unfortunately thought his glare was meant for her, whisper to her friend, "I think that Malfoy boy had it out for me.."

I turned to look at the whisperer, and smiled, the girl was Rose Weasley.

Later that night I lay down on the Slytherin's common room couch, thinking. Tears escaped my eyes, I watched my reflection in the mirror on the wall, directly across the couch. It was such an odd spot for the couch, to be facing the wall, with the fireplace behind it. I thought about how I could see tears cascading from my mist blue eyes, how no one else would ever see the same thing I was.

"Why me?" I questioned quietly. I know, what a cliché, the whole 'why me?' bit. But I was really feeling sorry for myself, and thought I deserved that one question. I didn't care how, I didn't care when, I didn't care who, all I cared about, was the why.

I remembered a time when William would always ask, "What ya feeling?" And sometimes I would respond, "annoyed," because it was proper. But now, I could hear his voice in my head, "what ya feeling?" so I tried to answer.

"I am feeling.." I began, "I am feeling...confused."

That didn't feel right, I mean, I was confused, but that wasn't exactly what I was feeling. "I am feeling a lot."

I heard foot steps coming this way, but I didn't look up, no one cared about me anyway. "Bethany?" I heard whispered, "You down here?" It was Scorpius.

I stayed quiet. I didn't want to talk to him. What could I say anyway? He only just met me.

"Well, if you are down here, good night. I wasn't sure if you could eat or not..." he placed a mug down on the small end table, I could smell chocolate, I inspected the steam rising out of the mug.

A small smile tugged at the ends of my lips, it was thoughtful of him, even though I couldn't eat. Deep inside I realized now what I was feeling. As Scorpius reached the bottom of the stairs, I finally spoke, "Scorpius?"

He stopped on the bottom step, and turned around, "Where are you?"

"I'm on the couch," I answered, I didn't why I thought I could trust him, why I would talk to him, but it wasn't like I could talk to anyone else. He sensed something in my voice, and came to the couch. He waited for a moment before sitting, giving me time to adjust my position. I pulled my legs to my chest, wrapped my arms around my legs and rested my chin between my knees.

"What's up Bethany?" he asked, not unkindly.

I didn't know how to say it, so I just said the firsts words that to mind, three simple words. In a very small voice I told him, "I am scared."

Scorpius was silent for a moment, obviously not knowing how to respond, then, "Of?"

"Well, for one, of never seeing my brother again, or more likely, him never seeing me," I answered, I was scared that he would continue to blame himself for my disappearance, and would never know, or notice, the truth that was staring him in the face.

Scorpius nodded, "There is more, isn't there?"

It was my turn to nod, "Yes," I whispered. I took a second, then I decided to tell him, "I'm afraid I'll disappear, for real this time. I'm afraid that one day, I'll just be carried off with the wind. Or that I get into trouble somehow, no one will know to look for me."

Scorpius thought for under a second, just enough time for his jaw, normally slacked, to set. "The wind can't carry you off, because I'll be here to hold you down. And I'll know to look for you, and somehow, I would help you."

I look his in the eyes, even though his were targeted an inch or so above mine, and said in an even smaller voice, "What if one day you won't be here either?"

He reached out, and found my hand, still pressed under my knee, he took a hold on it, "Bethany Stone," he told me, "I will always, always, be here for you. Do you hear me?"

I nodded, then added, "Yes."

"Good, now get to bed," Scorpius stood up.

I smiled and told him as a 'good night', "Yes Mom!"

He smirked, in a way that made me think that he must have a lot of practice with smirking, "Goodnight Bethany," he responded before disappearing up the stair.

And that was the real beginning of our friendship, a friendship that would take us to the end of the world and back...

Aww, sweet chapter! I loved it!

Hehe thanks

CHAPTER THREE: "There is a girl asleep on the couch"

Scorpius's PoV

I went to bed with a lot to think about, and I thought it was crazy. I had just become best friends with a girl I couldn't even see. See? That sounded pretty crazy. She had opened up me, and I told her things that I knew would be near impossible for me to do, but I didn't regret it. In fact, I was glad.

That night I had a strange dream, I only remember it because I kept seeing a pair of eyes, a misty blue. Sparks just seemed to fly from the eyes, but that was all I could remember from the dream...The dream probably only stuck with my memory because of what I was met with when I went down stairs.

I woke up to the sun rising, which was was a major pain in the but because of how late I stayed up the night before. I yawned, revealing my straight white smile and bad morning breath. Once I got dressed, brushed my teeth, and did absolutely nothing with my perfect blonde hair, I hurried down to the common, eager to get an early breakfast, maybe go flying with Bethany until classes. Being a Malfoy, I was blessed with good looks with the hassle of trying, not that I cared either way,

My plans however crumbled when I skidded to a halt in the common room, ready to find and wake my invisible friend. My crumbled plans were because I was greeted by the sight of a girl sound asleep on the common room couch.

Said girl had thick, wavy, light brown hair, looked about the same as me (okay fine, probably an inch taller then me...or two..), but that was to be expected as I had not yet hit my growth spurt yet (A fact I constantly had to bring up around some of my taller companions). The fact that threw me, was that she was dressed in muggle clothing. Plain jeans, even though they seemed rather short on her, and a light blue hoodie with some American logo on it.

She, Scorpius couldn't help but think, is kinda pretty....

"Why," I began to myself, "there is a girl asleep on the couch, I would like to know."

Another thought struck me. That was the couch Bethany usually slept on, so that was probably sleeping on Bethany.

I stood there, dumbfounded as to what to do, that is, until her eyes flickered open.


Bethany's PoV:

I had slept well, having fallen asleep almost as soon as Scorpius had left.

That morning I woke up, stayed lying down for a moment, then sat up, stretching. I yawned quietly, and looked around.I saw Scorpius standing there, gaping at me. Well, I reasoned with myself, he isn't gaping AT me...Wait a second..

I stood up, his eyes followed mine, I felt my heart quicken. I stepped over to the right, his eyes still followed mine.

"Oh my word..." I whispered, "Scorpius? You can...you can see me?"

Now his eyes widened even larger, so large I thought that soon I would see a pair of blue-green eyes rolling towards me, "Beth...Bethany?!"

I was speechless. First he could hear me (via train). Then he could feel me (via running into each other). Now he could see me. I took a step forward, his eyes still stayed on mine, "Ohmiword,ohmiword,ohmigish,ohmigosh, OH MY GOSH!" I ran forward and hugged him, now just way too happy for my own good. Of course, I figured, no one other the Scorpius could probably see me, but this was still huge.

Slowly his arms went up around me, and we stood there for a second until, "Scorpius?" Yolanda Zabini stepped into the common room, I started laughing. What an idiot Scorpius must have looked like right at that moment, especially since no one could see me, other then Scorpius. "What, I dare ask, are you doing?" Yolanda flipped her shoulder length black hair out of her face (Although, really, it wasn't in her face..)

"I'm..." he began, he looked at me for help.

I noticed her flipping her hair again, "Uh, compliment her on her hair," I advised, it was not obvious the Yolanda wanted to get Scorpius's attention, I think she was attempting to flirt, but I must say she was doing horrible, plus Scorpius would never go for her, but I didn't get why I cared if he did or not.

He raised his eye brow at me, but obviously couldn't think of anything else to say, "Yolanda? Did you do something with your hair? It looks very nice today."

I blinked, and hid my emotions. WOW could he be sweet if he wanted, his voice had seemed to drip with honey, he could make ALMOST any girl melt in his hand.

Yolanda blushed and began to twirl her hair, "Oh not really, I just brushed it a bit is all."

"Liar," I muttered. I could see the burn mark on the back of her neck where she had used a straighter.

"What are you doing up so early this morning?" Yolanda asked Scorpius, batting her too-long eye lashed and smiling with her too-cute dimples.

Scorpius shrugged and gaver her a friendly smirk, "I was thinking of getting some practice out on the broom, you know, get ready for the upcoming season. They need me if we ever want to win against Albus and the rest of his team."

"Oh that's right, I forgot you were on the team, but how could I forget with that spectacular catch you made last year during the last game..."

At that point I tuned out, I turned to Scorpius, "I'm going to wander around," I told him, not really caring if he knew or not. He didn't even look at me, but he held up his thumb behind his back. I walked out of the common. I didn't know where I wanted to go, but anywhere was better then with the two in there.

I decided I would go to the headmistresses office, I knew where it was from first year, because of how often William would be there, settling things about my "disappearance".

When I arrived I simply walked past the Gargoyles and through the wall ( a perk of the invisible thing...) then up the spiral stairs. I entered the office, "Hello Portraits," I told them, knowing they couldn't hear me. I sat on the Headmistresses chair for a bit, looked around, and then I spotted it. The sorting hat.

Having disappeared before my sorting I was placed in a house, I have just drifted. There was the sorting hat, sitting a shelf, just sitting there. It was about level with the top of my head, which was perfect. Now yes I realized that I could not physically pick up the sorting hat, as was a downside of this invisible thing, but I had figured that out. Of course, there was no knowing for sure if it would work or not. But I had to try.

I stepped into the shelf. Just remember that I can step into walls, well this shelf was no different. I stepped into it, and positioned myself so I was just under the sorting, standing on my tiptoes, I could make it so my head fit into the sorting hat.

Now just visualize this. Me, stepping in a bookshelf, so I am literally in the book case, standing on my tip-toes so I could fit my head a sorting hat that I could not physically pick up.

I jumped when I heard a voice coming from the hat...I was stunned. It had actually worked.

"Miss Stone," said the voice, "The Invisible Girl, I was wondering when you would show up..."

"How do you know.." I was going to finish with, 'me', but that seemed a pointless question to ask, especially since it could probably read my thoughts. So instead I thought, "What house I am in, or rather, what house am I supposed to be in?"

"You are loyal, loyal to your friend, to your family, mostly to your brother," the hat went on, "but brave too, also very smart, especially for a girl who has been quite tardy from school.."

I wasn't nervous like most people being sorted, probably because it didn't matter much, not like I was really attending the school. I just wanted to feel like I belonged somewhere, so I can be rooting, silently, for my house.

"You seem to have the Slytherin mark on you though, must have been spending some time in there too.." the hat continued on, "You are hard girl, hard to place..."

I understood that, how couldn't I be hard to place, if no one could find me in the first place? "Why not have you follow in your brother's foot-steps. Gryffindor it shall be!"

The hat called out now, loudly, "GRYFFINDOR!"

All of the portraits glared at the hat, "Humph, why I never, a sleep talking hat...." I heard one utter. Chuckling to myself, I made my escape from the office.

Now I knew where I would stay each night, no more drifting fro place to place. I was digging my roots into Hogwarts and it would take a lot to get me to leave...

I laughed out loud at the 'sleep talking hat' part! Great chapter! Bethany and Scorpius are so cute!

Another reader!! Thanks, I try to keep my stories to my own imagination, I don't take ideas from other things...

Dont kill Scorpius with your glomps! I'll post more as soon as I can!


Thanks for the comments!!!

Wow that was quick! I just came to check if you had a new chapter update and there were two. Sorry for my tardiness. I must say, I'm so happy that Scorpious can now see Bethany. That ought to lighten her spirit a little. Oh and Scorpious sure sounds handsome! Argh that Yolanda girl! Get away from Bethany's guy. Oh one last thing, the sorting idea was great. Interesting how you mentioned she wants to fit in, it makes sense pschologically. Haha and the sleep talking hat part was priceless.

Awesome posts as usual. Keep up the amazing work. PAMS!!!

Hehe Thanks Here is the next chapter

Disclaimer: Jo Rowling owns Bethany and the plot, I own the harry potter characters...wait..that's not right, Reverse that, there you go!

Author's note: Enjoy!!!!

CHAPTER FOUR: Allergies to Mandrake

Once I left the office I went to my common room. I passed William along the way, he did not look at me, so I continued on, slightly saddened that he still could not see me. I entered my common room and sat in front of the fire (this was the normal way a couch was, unlike the Slytherin's).

I stared into the flames, I slowly put my hand toward the flames, I mean, why not? Not like I could get burned, actually, when I began to think of it, that was one of the only things I hadn't tried as of yet. I could feel weather. I could feel the cold, I feel the heat, I could feel wind, but never before had I tried fire.

I placed my hand in the flames, then instantly recoiled with pain and shock. I stared at my hand, already blistering. Despite the pain, I smiled and I laughed. Wow, plenty have things have changed recently, maybe I'm coming back? I thought to myself. I placed my hand in the fire again, just so I could feel it. Again I recoiled with a yelp.

Smiling, I ran down to the great hall, while blowing air on my burnt hand. Upon arriving at the great hall, Scorpius was shocked by me jumping into the seat next to him. He stared at me, then muttered, "What the heck Bethany?!"

"I need to talk to you, now," I told him, yanking at his hand. He reached down to swipe my hand away, but instead I just pulled him off the bench.

He fell back with a yelp, several girls near-by snickered at him, "Umm..." he stammered.

"Oh, for merlin's sake, come ON!" I pulled at him again. He groaned and stood up.

Muttering to me, "You better have a good explanation for this Stone...", he followed out of the great hall and into the corridors.

I smiled from ear to ear, practically jumping, I reached out my burnt hand.

His eyes went from slits to a wide stare of shock to a look of horror. He picked up arm, inspecting my hand, "And you are happy about this, why?"

I didn't wait a moment, "Because," lying extra stress on that word I explained, "I feel it! The flames effected me! They gave me blisters!" I could have done two laps around the right then, with the amount of energy I had.

"...You know how insane that sounds, right?"

I started giggling, again, I was just way too happy. What a good week I had been having.

"You are insane...and I am a friend of an insane person that no one can see, hear, or feel..."

"You make me sound like an imaginary friend," I responded, still giddy. Then I remembered I had yet to tell him about the sorting hat, "OH! Guess what?" without waiting for an answer I continued, "I'm sorted!"

He blinked at me, absorbing what I had just said, "You..How?"

"I stood inside a bookshelf and went under the sorting hat. It sorted me," I stated mater-of-factly.

"...I'm going to pretend that made sense," was his simple answer. I smiled again, flashing my bright smile.

"Now all I'm waiting for, is to be able to pick up and taste food..." I responded jokingly, although it was perfectly true. I knew how good the food here was, I could smell it. But I had yet to be able to taste it.

Scorpius was still staring at my burnt hand, as if watching it would make it heal. I knew that eventually I would start to get annoyed with my burnt skin, but at that moment, I was ecstatic about the pain, and, quite frankly,rather disappointed that he did not show the same enthusiasm that I did. "Oh come on, this is a good thing, right? Something," other then you, I added in my head, "affected me! I could feel something!"

"But...did you have to burn your hand?" he asked, exasperated. "I mean, that's really going to hurt you, and because we can't treat it, it will probably scar..."

I groaned, rolling my eyes, "Who cares if it scars Scorp? I mean, who else is going to see them. At this rate, you'll be the only one ever to see me. Not even my own stinking family can tell I'm right in front of them!" I began to yell near the end, barely holding back my tears. I turned away from him, my joyful mood immediately replaced by the frustration and hopelessness in my whole situation. Great, thanks a lot teen-age hormones, JUST what I need I thought sarcastically.

I knew Scorpius still hadn't moved, and didn't what to do, now embarrassment was added to the mix of emotions. Why was that when I wanted to disappear, I was easily seen? I didn't know what to do, I didn't know where to go. So I just said, in a flat voice, "You ought to get to class, it would be starting soon."

He was silent for a moment more then, "Well? Are you coming with me?" He had herbology. Gryffindor's didn't have that class with them this year.

"No. I have divination, I was sorted into Gryffindor," with that, I decided it was best that I walk away. I got maybe a meter away when he stepped forward and grabbed my arm. I jumped at the contact (Okay well, maybe I wasn't quite used to things being able to touch me).

I turned and looked at Scorpius, I tried to say 'what', but my voice failed me. Instead he spoke, a mischievous grin creeping onto his face, he wiped it away and showed a mock look of disappointment, "Oh, so now you are going to skip out on your BEST friend, who is inviting you to go flying, just to go to a dumb divination class?"

I couldn't help the showing the small smile that tugged on my lips, "I don't believe hearing an invitation."

Now he allowed his smile to spread across his whole face, "Come on."

He led me back into the great hall, pausing briefly to ask a class-mate of his a question, "Yo, what are we doing in Herbology today?"

The boy considered then responded, "Professor Longbottom is going to have us handle Mandrakes this time..."

Scorpius groaned, "Darn it all, I'm allergic to Mandrake leaves. Can you tell him that I'll just stay here and work on the last paper assignment he gave us."

"Yeah, sure thing Scorp," the boy walked off toward his class. Once he was out of sight we dashed off, towards the quidditch pitch, having made a detour so Scorpius could grab his latest LIGHTNING BOLT 2016. Instantly we were upon the broom, flying high above the ground, it was wonderful.



A few hours later I was taking a nap in the library. It had started out as a quiet place to think, then a small rest that turned into a nap, well at one point I was deep asleep, dreaming...(I call it dreaming, but is there a simple word for when you are have a night mare? night-maring? Or rather, Day-maring? maybe, fright-daring...)

In my day-mare I was graduating. I had stepped forward, the headmistress handed me my diploma. I was supposed to make a speech. I stepped forward but when I started talking, everyone started mumbling, they couldn't hear me. Next thing I knew, William was saying, "She's gone and done it again, just floated off.."

Then I was in the great hall, two men stood dressed in muggle suits, beckoning me, "Come with us," they kept saying. I went with them, they took to the school grounds, one was about to speak when my scene changed again.

I was in Malfoy Manor (Easily distinguished by the people in the room; Scorpius, his father Draco, his mother whom I didn't know, Narcissa (his father's mother), Lucius (his father's father), and his Aunt Bellatrix (who every one knew to be dead, having died during the great battle)). I was alone in a room with Bellatrix, not quite alone, Scorpius stood behind me colored like starch. Bellatrix couldn't see me. She only saw Scorpius. She screamed the Crucio curse. Instead of hitting Scorpius, like it was meant, it hit me. I collapsed in withering pain, unable to see, unable to hear, unable to stop screaming....A voice echoed in my ears, getting louder, "Bethany...Bethany! Wake up!"



I woke up gasping for breath, I saw Scorpius standing there, looking confused and worried. "You were having a night-mare Beth...a bad one at that.."

"Oh.." I said, shaking at the memory of it. It had seemed so real, but Scorpius and I were in the library, not in Malfoy Manor.

There was silence for a moment, that type of silence my day seemed full of, where neither knew exactly what to say, or how to say it. Scorpius broke the silence, "What happened? You were silent when I came in here, then a second later you started screaming..almost fell out of your chair!"

"I was um.." I contemplated lying, who wants to hear that their long-dead aunt had been trying to hit crucio them but hit their best friend instead? Then I decided on the truth, it was better to have an honest friendship. I said the calmest, most boring voice I could, "I was being tortured accidentally by your long dead aunt who was trying to torture you."

He sat down next to me, a blank look on his face, "Oh."

I nodded, "Yep."

He looked at me, his blue-green eyes filled with worry, "Are you okay?"

I gave him a convincing smile, "I'm fine."

"Okay but if you need something from the infirmary, I can always—" I cut him off.

"Scorpius, I'm fine, really, I'm fine."

He hesitated, then nodded, "You know, you missed potions. It was great! Professor Longbottom's kid, Frank, blew up his cauldron and sent wart remover all over the dungeons. But he had done something wrong, and it grew worts over EVERY one, we got them in some pretty uncomfortable places. His twin, Alice, had to do the reverse spell, because the professor's wand was even coated in warts!"

We both burst into laughter, forgetting our worries. I would be alright, as long as Scorpius was okay, I would be alright...

Really awesome chapter!
