Carrie sat cross-legged on a chair in the library. She was so frustrated, she was getting nowhere. Why couldn't anyone be of more help? She got out the piece of paper she'd been using to work things out. The word 'revenge' was written in her scrawl that passed for handwriting in big letters in the middle. She had her brother's name and the few details she'd managed to get about him, Nathan Leigh, Slytherin, seventh year, death by Avada Kedrava, unknown caster. There were the details about her boyfriend, Rowan Hunt, Slytherin, seventh year, death by Avada Kedrava, unknown caster. She scribbled out unknown caster, and wrote the one word, presumably a name, that she'd been given, 'Hunt'. She sighed heavily, tapping her quill slightly on Rowan's last name. That had been Hunt too. Family member maybe? She wasn't sure, although it seemed likely. Although Rowan had never mentioned any family. She was certain the person who had killed her brother and the person who had killed her boyfriend were one and the same, and she was certain that this person was the 'Hunt' she'd been told to look for if she wanted revenge. The question was where to find him? She pushed her hair back off her forehead. She was so frustrated.

"Looking a bit stressed, unfinished homework?" I guess, seeing a girl sitting near me in the library. I hadn't seen her before, maybe she was new here. "Or maybe not, you seem new."

"Yeah, new." Carrie smiles, hastily balling the parchment up and shoving it in her pocket.

"Isabella Knox." I smile, holding out my hand.

"Carrie Dre-..." She stopped herself from giving her old name, "Carrie Leigh."

Leigh? I'm sure i've heard that second name before, wasn't there someone who used to come here called Nathan Leigh? I think to myself. "Nice to meet you." I reply

"You too." Carrie smiles. She wondered if this girl had ever met Nathan? It was tempting to ask but she didn't. "So what are you doing in the library? Studying?"

"Not really, read most of them. That's what happens when you've been going here for almost seven years."

"Seven years...wow." Carrie says, even though that was how long people were supposed to spend at a school, her and her mother had always been moving so she'd never really settled anywhere.

"Scary huh?" I laugh. "So where have you moved here from?"

"Terrifying." She laughs. "And my mother and I don't really settle, we move a lot. The last school I went to...was a muggle one in London, I think."

"Wow, what was that like?" I ask. "I don't really know that much about muggles, they're strange though." I admit

"Very strange. Terrified of magic. I got kicked out because they didn't know what to make of me when I 'accidently' hexed my teacher onto the roof." Carrie laughs slightly.

"Sounds like fun." I laugh.

"Oh, it was." Carrie agrees, laughing.

"How come you move around a lot then?" I ask.

"My dad...didn't like the idea of us being free in case anyone found out the truth. Oh the shame that would be fall him if anyone knew he had a second family." Carrie rolls her eyes. "But he's locked up in Azkaban now."

"My father is too." I admit. "But he shouldn't be." I say, frowning.
