Enemies of The Heir, Beware
The BlackLights were strolling around, jackets on their frames, to protect them from the rapidly chilling weather.
It was a Saturday, so they didn't have any classes, and had decided to take a break from their studies.
It was Hallowe'en too, so the Professors hadn't given them any homework today.
They were just walking around when they saw Harmony, Skylar and Luna wandering out on their own.
"Hello!", Crystalline greeted, smiling.
"Oh hey Crystalline, Harry, Ron, Hermione", the three girls greeted.
"Wanna come with us, we were just roaming around."
"Sure."

"Have you guys seen Ginny anywhere?", Skylar asked.
"Well no, has something happened", Ron asked, a hint of worry in his eyes.
"We couldn't find her anywhere, that's all", Harmony shrugged.
The quartet couldn't help but smile at that. The four first years had become almost as close as they were.
"A-a-achoo", Skylar sneezed, before blowing her nose on a handkerchief.
"Do you need the pepper up potion, I can get some from Madam Pomfrey", Crystal asked.
"Yes, I think I need it", Skylar said.

After the trip to the hospital wing, she was trudging up the lone corridor, a vial of pepper up potion in her grasp, when she spotted a familiar curtain of vivid, fiery red hair.
"Ginny!", she was about to call out when a strangled hiss left the girl's lips.
There was water all over the floor, and Crystalline almost slipped.
Was it blood on Ginny's hands.
Crystalline quickly hid herself with a disillusionment charm, curious as to what the youngest Weasley was up to.
She gasped silently as the warm brown eyes she knew were replaced with crimson.
Ginny began writing on the wall with none other than the blood on her hands.
Unfortunately for Crystalline, she slipped and fell down, making her panic and accidentally cancel the charm.
Ginny let out a startled gasp and an enraged hiss, and after that, all Crystalline saw was a reflection of terrifying yellow eyes in the water, before the world blacked before her eyes...

"What's taking Crystal so long", Harry asked, worriedly.
"How about we check in on her", Ron suggested.
"We're coming with you", Skylar said.
***
"SCIURUS, AELURUS", came Ron's agitated voice.
"What is it Ron", Hermione made her way towards the tall red-head, and gasped, horrified at the sight before her.
Crystalline was on the floor, water seeping under her. Her silver eyes were blank, her body rigid and completely still.
Her head was bleeding, as though it had banged into something, the precious red liquid swirling beautifully in the water.
Harmony and Skylar recoiled, not just at the horrific sight before them, but also the murderous expressions on the faces of rest of the BlackLights.
Even Luna looked particularly distressed.
And shining above, were what fuelled the flames of hatred and revenge,
"Enemies of the heir beware, blood-traitors and mudbloods alike", Ron whispered.
