There were stood five students Jaiden attacked yesterday alongside with Marcus Flint. They all smirked devilish at Jaiden.

"Uuuuu..are you scared?" They all laughed.

"N-no." Jaiden said with a waiver voice.

"N-no." One of them mocked Jaiden and the rest of them laughed.

"You're not supposed to attack my friends, Monster." Said Flint.

"Please. I have classes to go. Can we settle this thing later?" Jaiden said. Honestly, she was really scared. They all looked at each other and faked their nice smile.

"Why not? After all, your classes is important." Said one Ravenclaw.

"We'll meet again at lunch, darling." They let go of Jaiden and walked away laughing.

Jaiden sighed in relief. She didn't noticed that she had holding her breath. She quickly walked to the History of Magic classroom. Her classes before lunch went well, until it's time for lunch.

She walked as fast as she can to the Great Hall. But then she saw the three boys from earlier came towards her from in front of her. She turned around and, Merlin, that's the scariest day Jaiden had in her life. She bumped into someone. She looked up and saw another three of them. They all looked down at Jaiden and smirked.

Jaiden's horrified face made them very satisfied. They all dragged Jaiden to the girl bathroom. They pinned Jaiden on the ground and lift up her right sleeve.

"Now, be a good girl and shut your mouth." Flint said while twirling a knife around his fingers.

"Please. Anything but that." She begged.

"But this is how we have fun." One Hufflepuff said.

Flint then started to carve word freak, monster and half-breed on her arm many times. One of them covered her mouth to stop her from screaming. They didn't care about Jaiden's tears.

About a few minutes, Flint stopped. They all released Jaiden.

"Come on. Lunch had finished. We gotta go." Said one Ravenclaw. Before they left, they kicked Jaiden on her stomach and her back.

Once they left Jaiden tried to get up. She cleaned her arm. She washed all the blood and wrapped her arm with a shirt she have in her bag.

She made her way to Potions classroom. She was two minutes late when she arrived. She opened the door and everyone staring at her, even Snape.

"Sit, Miss Rookwood and 5 points from Gryffindor." Snape said. Jaiden made her way to sit at the back. Before Snape started the class, he took a few looked at Jaiden.

'It's hurt freaking bad. How long do I need to wait for all my classes to end. And how in the world I can have a blood Replenishing Potion without tell anyone about this? They used a freaking knife. A knife! Didn't they think that I still need to use my hand!' Snape heard what Jaiden thought. He looked at Jaiden and saw she was brewing her potion without a problem and her face didn't show any emotions.

After potions end Snape asked for Jaiden to stay.

"I'm sorry I'm late today, Professor. But I assure you that I'll not going to late again after this." She said without made an eye contact with Snape.

"You better not. What classes you have left?" He asked.

"Just flying class, then I have free period."

He nodded, "I want you to come here after your last class. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Good. Now go." Jaiden left the classroom. "I need to tell Albus." He spoke to himself and made his way to Dumbledore's office.

When he arrived there, Remus was there too. He told everything what he had heard from Jaiden's thought to Dumbledore and Remus.

Remus looked at Snape like he just grow another head. Dumbledore sighed.

"Severus, you think, one of the students hurt her using a knife?" He asked still in a state of shocked.

"I think more than one, Remus. Or else she's not going to use 'they'." He replied sadly.

"Bring her here after her class. We need to warn the other teachers." Dumbledore said. Snape walked back to the dungeon and waiting for Jaiden.

He was reading a book at his desk, when there's a knocked on the door.

"Come in." Jaiden walked inside. Snape walked to one of his potion shelter and took a blood Replenishing Potion and gave it to Jaiden.

"Take it and follow me." He said and started to walk. First, Jaiden looked confused then she realized what potion it was. Without thinking how Snape knew, she drank it and ran after Snape.

Snape brought her to Dumbledore's office which made Jaiden confused.

"What are we doing here?" Jaiden asked but Snape just ignored it. She followed behind Snape. Again when she entered she was met with Dumbledore, McGonagall, Remus, Madam Pomfrey, Sprout and Quirrel. 'Great. I just have deja Vu.' she thought.

Jaiden stood in the middle of the office and she can felt everybody's eyes on her. They all silent after Jaiden came in. She started to get angry. If they want to talk to her then do it. Why became silent. She sighed frustrated.

"Now, what?" She broke the silent. "I don't think I have attacked anyone today."

"Do you want to tell us about what happened to your arm?" Dumbledore asked and Jaiden shocked but she masked it with a confusion.

"Sorry what?"

"Don't play innocent with us, Miss Rookwood. I heard your thought earlier in class." Snape said.

"Now, I really need to stop thinking around you." She said and Snape smirked.

"It's nothing really." She said.

Remus then walked towards Jaiden and lift both of her sleeves. He then saw a shirt wrapped around her right arm. He started to take it off but Jaiden hold Remus's hand to stop him. Remus immediately snatched his hand back.

"Professor-" she wanted to tell him to stop but she was cut by him.

"Stay still, Jaiden. Or else we will deal with it in a hard way." He took the shirt off and gasped.

There's a lot of words 'freak', 'monster' and 'half-breed'. The all Professors gathered around Jaiden and gasped.

"Who did this to you, Jaiden?" McGonagall asked. She snatched her arm from Remus grasp.

"None of your business." She replied cooly. She didn't want people think she weak.

"Jaiden, we'll ask again. Who did that to you?" Remus asked. At this point all the staff already backed away. The glasses in Dumbledore's office started to vibrate a little.

"Why I need to tell you?"

"Because we can help you."

"And how can you help me? You don't even know what to do. You don't understand how I feel."

"I understand Jaiden. I-" before he can speak more Jaiden cut him.

"And how you can understand it? You have your friends when you were at school. You have someone to keep you company. You have someone that will stop you if you tried to hurt yourself. I have no one. Give  me a reason, why I need to tell you?"

"Because I'm your..I'm your Professor." Remus replied. Not that he didn't want to tell Jaiden. It's just not the right time with all this argument.

"That's right. You're my Professor. You're not my father therefore you don't have a right to tell me what to do. If my father is really still alive, he should be here. He should be with me long time ago. He should be with me after my mom died." She started to walk out from there but being stopped when someone shouted.

"Yes! Yes, I am your father, Jaiden! Therefore I have a right to tell you what you need to do!" Remus shouted. All the staff that didn't know gasped. Jaiden stopped. "Like what I told you, I tried to search for my wife and my daughter. And believe me when I tell you that I tried everything I can to find you two. But I was too late. Elizabeth died. My wife, your mom died."

Dumbledore's office fell silent. Jaiden still didn't turned around. She felt numb. She didn't know what to feel. Her father. Her father just in front of her. Remus broke down. McGonagall came and stood beside Remus and put her hand on Remus shoulder to calm him.

"The moon's going to show up soon. I have to go." That's all she said then she walked out from Dumbledore's office.
