I sat up with a start. I was lying in the middle of the entrance hall. Fred hovered above me, a look of relief painted across his face. He pulled me into a tight hug, the smell of his hair overcoming my senses. He pressed kisses all over my face. "If you ever do that to me again", he let out, "I'll kill you". I blinked, rubbing my temples. Fred let me go, but held onto my hands. "What happened?", I groaned. My eyes scanned the crowd that was beginning to form around me.

Fred noticed this too and helped me up, "You passed out, come on let's get out of here". I nodded, and we started to walk up towards the Ravenclaw common room. My dreams had happened too frequently to ignore at this point. "She said she was a part of me", I mumbled. Fred looked at me, concerned. We reached the door to the Ravenclaw common room and I quickly answered the riddle.

I began to walk up to my dormitory, so deeply engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't even realize Fred was still trailing behind me until he let out a whoop and said, "It's crazy in here!". We were halfway up the stairs, but I turned around and pulled him in for a kiss. "Thank you for always being there", I whispered. He grinned, "You know I always will be".

We made it to the dormitory and I collapsed on my bed. "What's going on with me?", I said to myself more than Fred. He lay next to me, and I rested my head on his chest. I wasn't sure why I hadn't told him about everything that was going on. We had spent basically every day together since the ball. I looked at his face. His perfect face. His sunny eyes and his fiery hair. The life in his smile, the laugh lines already forming.

He leaned down and kissed me. "Somethings been going on for a while now", I breathed. He looked down at me, a forced neutral expression on his face. "That time you found me in the bathroom it was happening", I said slowly. He chewed on his lip. "It can happen when I'm awake, or when I'm asleep. It's more clear when I'm asleep". Fred's eyebrows drew together, "What happens?".

I tried to think of a way to describe it. "It's like a sort of vision?", I began, "I'm surrounded by blue fog, and I see things". As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I became instantly aware of just how crazy I sounded. "I sound like a madman", I closed my eyes. Fred moved his hand to my face and stroked my cheek. "Yes, yes you do", he laughed, "But I don't care. Please keep going".

This is why I loved him, I thought to myself. My eyes flew open. Did I really just think that? Now wasn't the time to psychoanalyze my feelings though, I had more pressing matters. "I see things, and they haven't happened yet. And then they do", I breathed, "I saw the dragons for the first task, and I saw you in the courtyard, and I saw my dad write me a letter that I got the next day". Fred smiled, "That's wicked, love".

I couldn't help but laugh, only Fred would call someone having a crisis about having visions "wicked". I smiled at him sadly, and he leaned down to kiss me once more. "There's one more thing", I sighed. He looked at me expectantly. "I see...Rowena Ravenclaw", I closed my eyes. "Interesting", Fred said. I opened my eyes and began to speak quickly, "I don't know why I see her, or why she feels so familiar. I speak to her too, and when I asked her why she was there she said something strange. She said she wasn't really there, that she was a part of me".

Fred looked at me, his eyes wide, but not scared. The same excited expression that filled them normally was still present. It brought me more comfort than I could express. "I just want answers", I breathed. "Then get them", Fred shrugged. I looked at him and pursed my lips. Why did he make everything sound so easy like that? "It's not that simple", I said. "Everything is that simple", he laughed, "We go to a magic school, love. Look around, there are answers everywhere". I sighed, knowing he was right. I thought back to my dream. "I'm not the only Ravenclaw you have access to", the words echoed in my brain.

I felt like there was something right in front of my face, and I just couldn't see it. If I could just look from a different perspective. "She said there was another Ravenclaw I could talk to... but her line died years ago". A sly smile started to form on Fred's face. I was growing in frustration. I sat up so we were facing each other, "What are you not saying?". He laughed and grabbed my face, "Come on Sawyer, think". "I am!", I let out. He looked at me and cocked an eyebrow, "The Grey Lady".
