wrong direction

Samantha sat on the common room couch trying to sooth a panicking Ron, who also was gripping onto the girl for dear life.

"It's alright Ron." She whispers running her fingers through his hair, almost everyone was awake now sitting in the common room, but Samantha made all second years and below go back to bed.

"Ron this is all to much, I think you were just having a bad dream." Percy says pacing back and forth in front of Ron and Samantha.

"It wasn't a dream Percy! Sirius Black was at the foot of my bed with a knife in his hands!" Ron yells shaking and Samantha holds him tighter glaring at Percy.

"Percy leave him alone. You're just making it worse." Samantha snaps at him and Percy rolls his eyes.

Samantha didn't know what to think, if Ron wasn't dreaming then Sirius Black somehow had gotten into the common room and found the boys room.

He could have easily killed Harry or even Samantha since she was in the boys dormitories.

"Maybe we all should try to go back to bed?" Samantha suggests gently and Ron quickly protests along with all the other boys who shared his room.

"What is the meaning of this! Percy why isn't everyone in bed!" McGonagall yells stomping into the common room tying her robe tightly.

"I was handling it professor, Ron just had a bad dream." Percy says trying to suck up to McGonagall making Samantha and George share an annoyed look.

"It was not a dream! Sirius Black was at the foot of my bed with a knife in his hand!" Ron yells jumping out of Samanthas arms.

McGonagall looks at Ron shocked and then to everyone else in the common room. "Mr. Weasley there is no possible way for Sirius Black to get into the common room, let alone your dormitories." McGonagall states and Ron suggests asking the portrait who took over for the fat lady.

McGonagall opens the portrait and asks him if he let Sirius Black inside and when the portrait said yes Samantha felt her blood run cold.

"Why?" McGonagall asks and the portrait explains how Sirius Black had all the passwords on a piece of paper, and as he listed them off he eventually got it correct.

McGonagall looks to the ground, to see a piece of paper with all the passwords written on it.

"Who did this!" She yells angrily holding the paper in the air and Neville lets out a small yelp and Samantha gives him a sad look.

"Oh Neville."

The last months was hell for both Samantha and Harry. They had professors following them everywhere they went, yes even the bathroom, and all they heard about was Sirius Black.

Ron was enjoying the attention he was getting, but Samantha and Harry hated hearing his story over and over and over again sometimes he would add dramatic effects to make it sound cooler.

The only good thing that has happened is that Samantha and Harry finally got their firebolts back and Gryffindor beat Ravenclaw, but their practices were always supervised by Madame Hootch, which yet again didn't give them a break from being surprised.

Poor Neville wasn't allowed to know the new password and had to wait outside the portrait until someone let him in, normally it was Samantha because she luckily knew his class schedule.

The worst part was that Samantha and Fred hardly got any alone time together. They were always surrounded by their friends or professors so they couldn't even enjoy each other's company. And before you ask Samantha wasn't allowed to sleep on the boy dormitories anymore because 'Sirius Black could come and get her easily' as McGonagall stated.
