I Feel It In My Bones

Casey Weasley was full of anger.

At twelve years od age, going on thirteen, she was ready to tell the world just what she felt of it, and it was not a pleasant message. She felt this toxic hatred inside of her for all of these adults who were supposed to protect them, supposed to make them feel better, who were supposed to be ensuring they had a successful future. And yet, they had kicked out the halfbreeds, sentencing them to an unknown fate that surely did not bode well. They had lost her cousin, let her almost die. And they had the nerve to care about petty things like curfew.

She was absolutely done. She had practiced the levitation charm on the chair so many times in her dormitory that she could do it in her sleep. Now she stalked through the castle halls, the chiar gripped under her arm, pushing through crowds like a girl on a mission. In the other hand was a can of Weasleys' paint - some of the most permanent stuff out there.

She made it into the entrance hall and placed the chair right next to the wall. She cast the levitation charm and it began to rise. She clambered onto the chair and waited for it to reach about twelve feet. Balanced carefully, she spelled out the message she wanted Hogwarts to see.



And under it, she began listing the names of half breeds, drop outs, and then the name of every student she could think of, fuelled by anger, hatred, and a lack of fear for authority.

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones, enough to make my systems blow. Welcome to the new age, to the new age. Welcome to the new age, to the new age.

Casey Weasley had awoken a monster inside her, and it felt good to let him out.

The young Weasley girl defiantly was mad at something, something to do with Hogwarts judging by her message. What exactly the second year's problem was Natalie didn't realise straight away. Could it have been an overreaction to a detention or losing points? Or was there a deeper issue that had rattle the fellow Gryffindor's cage?

It was only when Natalie finally reached the bottom of the marble staircase did the beater have an idea what this was all about. Werewolves. Toby Cooper, a fellow fifth year, and Nathan Finch-Fletchly's names were there amongst other people who had vanished around the time of the halfbreed banishment. Although it didn't seem to end there.

Names of dropouts and, wait, even her own name appeared under the bold message. Natalie was no confused, she wasn't a werewolf so what exactly was Casey's statement. A large number of other Gryffindor students named appeared. Was this aimed at the Slytherin's? Weasley was listing practically the entire Gryffindor house and more besides. 

Joining the semi-circle of onlookers the red head listened to what a gaggle of girls were discussing. 

'What do you think she's doing?-'
'Do you think she'll get thrown out?-'
'Hogwarts sure has ruined my life.'

Natalie had to agree with that last comment. The amount of times she'd lost Gryffindor points for ridiculous things like talking out of term or being late to a class. What seriously was the harm in doing that? Natalie got the work done in the end, not to a great standard but it was completed all the same.

Choosing not to step forward and break the circle Natalie continued to watch Casey's graffiti at work curious as to how things would play out.
