thunder struck. i looked out at the rain, usually liking rain, it was weird. it made me uncomfortable. my friends came up to me. They were upset with me.

"i hate you Ameylia! Why can't you just be useful," shouted Hermione. "I knew you'd turn on us! I knew it!

"And to believe we trusted you!" Shouted Ginny.

"What do you mean?" I asked, but my mouth was closed. No sound came out.

"She cheated her way into this school. All of us students get along, then there's Ameylia." grumbled Oliver. He walked over to the George and Fred who were yelling at each other. Then they started first fighting.

"stop!" I yelled. But there was no sound. They continued their fighting. I tried to stop them but I couldn't move either. I looked to Oliver but he was gone.

My eyes travelled over to Draco crying. He's looking at... a scar on his arm? a tattoo? ron and harry were yelling at me.

"you're so stupid Gord!" shouted Harry. "Why on earth would be friends with you?"

"you're quite annoying," Luna fumed. She crossed her arms and gave me a look I'd never seen her express.

"why would any of us want to be your friends?" ron asked as i felt myself tear up.

"i don't know!" i shouted. Finally I could talk! suddenly, a dark figure came in and snatched harry, i tried grabbing his hand but it's useless. A teacher in all pink grabbed fred and george's wrist and drags him away. A big wolf jumped onto Ron as Hermione shouted at me to help, but i can't. Ginny started burning in a fire, Luna and Oliver trying to pull her out. and draco... dracos with voldemort. by his side. I try to run, to help, but i stand on an enormous pole, no way up or down. i look to see the bottom, my parents, drowning slowly. a dark horse tramples on them as i stare, helpless. The world is collapsing around me. suddenly, harry is fighting a wizard. Harry gets struck and his corpse falls to the ground.

i woke up breathing heavily. i felt my cheeks and felt tears, huddling up and sobbing. it was just a nightmare. it was just a night mare.

"ameylia, what's the matter!" george awoke, sitting up immediately and pulling me close to him, trying to make eye contact. i let out a big sob as george runs out of the room. i grab my blanket and put my face into it, trying to think of something else. i hear hermione's voice and george run in with ginny and fred. They're all safe.

"what's happened to her?" asked ginny, sitting down next to me.

"she looks like she's seen death," said fred, putting his hand on my knee and crouching down.

"move!" squirmed hermione as she snuggled beside me, wrapping me into a tight hug, "we need to bring her to dumbledore."

"yes, we do," said george, looking into my eyes as fred nodded and picked me up.

the weasleys rushed me to dumbledore office as hermione went to find madame pomfrey.

"Dumbledore!" shouted George, i could see the fear in his eyes as i let out another sob. i watched dumbledore walk out from behind a wall and pull out a chair for him to sit on. george lied me on the couch with him as fred stood crossarmed beside us.

"what is it Ameylia?" Dumbledore asked as hermione rushed in with madame pomfrey and mcgonagall.

"i-" i sniffed as tears rolled down my face, "it was a dream."

"what about?" asked mcgonagall.

"i... um, i was loosing everyone. Everyone i've ever loved. my friends were being attacked, and so were my parents. I-it was just a dream though," i cried. "B-but it seemed so...real?"

"what were they being attacked by?" asked dumbledore, clearly invested like i was putting on a drama show for him.

"well, i can't remember too clearly, but Ron was getting attacked by a werewolf, and harry by a dark, hooded figure. i think the twins were being dragged away by a lady in pink. ginny was in a fire by...by her house? and... um, my parents were being trampled by a dark horse," i stuttered.

dumbledore furrowed his eyebrows, looking down at the floor, then looking at Mcgonagall, "i think it's best that you and me talk alone, Miss Gord." George nodded, leaving the room with everyone else.
"Miss Gord, the werewolf... did you know that Ron got attacked by a dog? are you sure the figure wasn't a dog?"

i shook my head, "maybe, i couldn't see too clearly. But, professor, it was huge. And skinny, like the thing was starved."

"curious... and was that hooded figure you saw take harry perhaps a dementor?"

"a what?" i asked, raising an eyebrow.

"never mind. maybe it was 'just a dream' after all," he said, smiling falsely and shooing me off with his hand. "I'll allow you into the kitchen before you go back to bed. You can prepare yourself some hot cocoa."

I declined his offer and walked back to my dorm. I crawled into my bed, sitting up, keeping my eyes wide awake. Everyone was back asleep by now. Everyone was in their beds, safe. It's just a dream Ameylia. A dream.
