Chapter 32, Raven Dumbledore

Instructions

I wake up freezing. I look around my room. And do you know what I see all over the Slytherin dormitory? Ice. The windows look like they have been frozen over so many times that if you breath on one it would shatter. There is a layer of frost coating every single surface. As usual, I'm the first one up. So I try to stay quiet, (as usual). But it's hard to stay quiet when you wake up and see ice all over your bed. So, naturally, I scream. Pansy jolts awake, and whacks me in the face with her pillow. "Oops. Reflexes!" She says. Normally, this wouldn't hurt, but this morning, our pillows were frozen. Ever been whacked in the face with a block of ice? Well, it's not fun. Professor McGonagall burst into the room when she heard me scream. "What is the meaning of this?!?!" She yelled. But she took one quick look around the room and gasped. Because she saw ice. She immediately woke up all the Slytherins and said "As you may have noticed your dormitory has frozen, so you will go to the other dormitories!" A groan of displeasure echos around me. "You will be divided into the other dormitories randomly, so I would like to hear no complaints!" McGonagall continues. "Going to the Gryffindor dormitory is Raven Dumbledore, Matteo Riddle, ....." As soon as I hear my name, I grab my trunk and I dash out of there before she even finishes reading. Matteo is right behind me, so I wait for him to catch up before interrogating him. "Why weren't you at the dance? Thanks to you Daphne had to be the only girl sitting out on the slow dance!" Matteo looks shocked. "I was sick. Besides, why would you think Daphne and I would dance?" I raise my eyebrows but I stop talking, I'll let Daphne interrogate him later, it's really none of my business. When we get to the Gryffindor common room nobody, and I repeat NOBODY looks happy to see us. I nervously sit down next Holly and Daphne in the corner. "Don't worry," I whisper. "Pansy's not coming here." They breath sighs of relief. Apparently, Fred and George made it snow so they could throw snowballs at people. I mean, come on! For a reason as stupid as that?!?!?!!? Daphne starts screaming about how stupid it they are, and I just slouch in the corner, shivering from the cold, before I know it, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw dormitories freeze, so they also join Gryffindor, the entire school in one common room, very crowded. I hear McGonagall and Snape whispering. "Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw weren't even frozen! There was just some ice on the window. But Slytherin! Their room was practically made out of ice! I hope everyone's Ok." I hear someone yell. "The room is freezing!" I look over and almost start laughing! Their 'frozen room' is like, four snowflakes on the carpet! McGonagall announces that we go to the great hall, so I grab my trunk and run there. I sit right next to the fireplace with Luna. "You got here fifteen seconds after I did Raven!" She giggles. "Late again! Wait a second, Raven, are you hurt? Your forehead looks red!" Luna sounds alarmed. "OH! That," I say. "Pansy whacked me in the forehead with her pillow this morning, it was like getting hit with solid ice." "I know exactly what you need. According to the quibbler, you just need exactly four drops of water, and to sleep for exactly seven minutes and twelve seconds in order to heal ice related injuries." I didn't think this would work, but I tried it nonetheless. Luna gave me four drops of water, and I fell asleep, she woke me up exactly seven minutes and twelve seconds later. Surprisingly, all the pain went away, and Luna said the bruise was gone! It worked! Wow, leave it to Luna to become a doctor out of nowhere. I hear Daphne yelling to Holly about guessing something in a book, I hear Matteo apologize to Daphne for not being at the dance, and I hear Hermione talk about how this is going to take forever, and then, I realize how tired I am, so I fall asleep. For much longer than seven minutes and twelve seconds.
