Liliana's POV

Finally! Another year at Hogwarts, 4th Year. It has been pretty challenging yet exciting to be looking for the Cursed Vaults and saving Hogwarts. And as always, I am known as the Hero of Hogwarts. Despite all of these downfalls, I never back down and I could not have done it without the help of my friends.

I entered the Great Hall and saw my roommate and best friend, Rowan, sitting on the Gryffindor table and saving a spot for me to sit next to her. We have been pretty close since we have first met at Diagon Alley for our first year.

"Liliana! You're here!" she happily greeted. I sat on my bed and we started talking to each other. "Hey Rowan, how are you doing there?" I greeted back. "I'm doing great," Rowan answered. "How about you?" "I'm doing fine. Just thinking about brother. I really do miss him." I replied.

"Hey, don't worry about it. Ok? I guarentee you that your brother will be really proud of you that you have cleared your family's name despite all of the tough situations that have happened before." she reassured. I faced her and smiled. "Thanks Rowan. I needed that." I thanked her.

Dumbledore spoke up."Attention, everybody! Thank you. Now, there has been a report from the Ministry of Magic that there's a Dark wizard who escaped from Azkaban. Dementors are now sent out to--" His sentence was cutted off by students screaming and panicking. It had gotten louder and louder until,

"Silence! For the students' safety, classes will be suspended for 1 week, starting tomorrow. Prefects will be tasked to do more patrolling with the Professors. And everyone should stay inside the school premises at ALL times. Do I make myself clear?" he continued. We all nodded and some replied, "Yes sir.". "Excellent, now go back to your own business." Finishing off his speech.

Prefects are now bringing us to our dorms for bed. After entering to the Gryffindor Tower, going into the Common Room, Rowan and I have reached our dorm. Once in there, we spent two hours of chatting, Rowan started to yawn. "It's getting late. Good night Liliana." she sleepily said as she starts to lie down and sleep. I started yawning as well. "Good night Rowan." I grogily replied and drifted off to slumber.

Talbott's POV

Oh wow. The start of our fourth year! I am sure that everything's going to be lame but rather somewhat great...

Dumbledore has spoken that classes will be suspended because of an escapee from Azkaban and Dementors sent out to find him.

After all of that, Prefects are then leading us to the Ravenclaw Tower, entering the Common Room and then to my dorm. When I went inside my dorm, I brought one of my poetry books, the one I purchased from Flourish and Blotts, out of my shelf and started reading it. Once I have finished, I sighed as I placed it back and lied down on my bed. "Mum, Dad, I know you're gone, but I can't help missing you." I muttered while tears escape from my eyes. I kept facing the galaxy silk that was hanging above my bed for several hours until Andre, my roommate barged in.

"Good evening Talbott!" He yelled. "Good evening Andre." I greeted. Andre and I became roommates during our first year. I usually spend my time in the Owlery alone but to be honest, I kind of appreciated his company. Since I do not have any siblings, he was like a brother to me. I looked away and hugged me knees with a depressed look on my face.

"Hey, are you okay?" Andre asked concernly. "Uh yeah. I'm okay." I casually replied. His facial expression went from happy to concerned. "Mate. I know that look on your face. Really, I do. You can tell me, Talbott. What's been troubling you?" Andre reassured me. I deeply sighed. "Alright. It's about my parents' deaths. The nightmares are getting worse. And I can't get over that memory. I mean, it's really terrifying." I admitted.

"Talbott, it wasn't your fault. Your parents did that to protect you. And since we're fourth years, I'm sure that they would be proud of you, growing up to be an intelligent wizard." Andre said while patting my back. I turned to him, "Thanks Andre," I yawned. "I'm gonna sleep, good night." I said while lying down and burying myself in my covers, "Alright, night mate." And we both fell asleep.
