Summer of July 1991

B= Foreign Language

"I'm gonna bounce, I'm tired," said Y/n as she stood up from playing card games with her relatives.

"Oh come on Y/n, we barely started," said her cousin Reyna in Spanish

"Girl, I've been awake this entire time," said Y/n as she finished her drinking her water bottle.

"We're just starting another round of Monopoly," said her other cousin Alonso.

"We've played at least a hundred rounds of Monopoly," complained Y/n.

"We're out camping literally in the middle of nowhere, we still have four more days. And no service, do you want to play another game?"

Ah~! A beloved family tradition of going camping two times during the summer, at the beginning in May and at the end in July but since Hogwarts ended in June Y/n was only allowed to participate in the last summer camp.

"Play with someone else," said the young girl as she unzipped her tent, Y/n had her own tent since she didn't want to share. On the outside, it looked like a one-person tent but on the inside, it looked like a normal room.

Plopping down on her bed Y/n closed her eyes and felt herself falling asleep quickly to the sound of her family laughing and playing their music loudly; thankfully they weren't going to disturb anyone since they were at least a mile away from the nearest campers.

Y/n opened her eyes she saw that she was alone in a dark empty space, "Power is what you want," said a voice.

The young girl knew immediately who that voice belonged to shaking her head "Get out of my head, you're not wanted here." The girl tried to control her dreams but the man must have been controlling her.

"They will hold you back, they'll just be burdens to your greatness. If you follow me then you will have all the power that this world has to offer. No one would stand in your way."

"Too much power is dangerous," Y/n felt someone brush her hair and twirl it around their finger. "Don't you want to keep your friends safe from danger?"

Suddenly Y/n saw herself in Hogwarts, her friends were all there in the courtyard. Instead of their usual smiles, she saw faces filled with terror; they began to scream and running away from something, following them Y/n heard the sound of a creature destroying the school and the sound of people screaming became more prominent.

What's attacking the school? wondered Y/n as she ran through the corridor but soon the Hogwarts teachers came into view "Oh thank god!" said Y/n as she approached the teacher who had their wands drawn.

As the girl opened her mouth to talk but Professor Dumbledore began attacking her, shooting spell after spell, Y/n let out a scream of pain. "It's me! Y/n!"

The attacks never stopped, panicking Y/n turned back towards the courtyard, trying to get people to help her but instead they ran away.

"Go away!" Y/n screamed over and over again, rushing towards the lake, in the water she saw what she looked like.

Her body was no longer human and instead was replaced with a black fluid-like cloud and a red core.

Her features were gone, she was completely out of control and everything that she touched was being destroyed.

The teachers were right behind her and attacking the girl, "LEAVE ME ALONE!" Y/n shrieked in anger.

Suddenly a loud explosion hurt Y/n's ear, as well as the screams of the students, was abruptly cut off; the world was painted black before color came back. In front of her laid the bodies of all the students and teachers, Y/n felt her body come back together before she dropped brutally on the ground.

Y/n stumbled her way towards her best friends but one specific member: Harry. "Harry! Harry wake up!" Y/n took his body closer to her, the boy's body was cold and unmoving. "Please wake up! This isn't funny," cried the girl.

Running over to someone she knew would help: Hermione. "Mione wake up, Harry's being mean," she cried as she shook her best friend "Wake up! This isn't funny, you guys are being mean!" tears wouldn't stop coming.

Y/n began pinching Ron who was right next to Hermione, "Wake up or else I'll tell your mom! Wake up, Ronald!"

"Percy, make them stop," shouted Y/n as she hugged Harry's body "Please," her voice was nothing more than a whisper. "I don't want to be alone."

"See," said the voice "This is what will happen if you don't follow me. You have too much power and very little control, but come to me and I will make sure this never happens."

"I'll never follow you," said Y/n as she continued crying.

The sky above let out a roar as lightning leaped across the sky, the girl let go of Harry and stood up to look at the sky, it was dark and bright red? Y/n felt raindrops on her skin but upon further inspection, Y/n realized what it was. More and more blood started to fall soon the whole grounds were covered in blood.

All Y/n could do was scream her heart out until nothing was coming out. Agony, alienation, cursed, defeated, pain and suffering were all that she could feel. No, those words weren't enough to describe Y/n at that moment.
"Do you like your future?" asked the voice.
"Go away," said Y/n.
"Take my hand and this future ends here," All Y/n saw was a hand stretched out in front of her.
"I can't,"
"Yes you can," someone placed their hand on her head, gently patting her head. "I can protect you, give you a secure future."
"A secure future?" Y/n stared at the ground blankly.
"A future where you are going to be safe, and your friends will be with you."
"No,"
"You're a ticking time bomb, you're a danger to others if you don't learn to control it."
"A bomb?"
"Obscurial, my beautiful obscurial." the hand stroked her head before rubbing her cheek "She was supposed to be with me but she chose him over me. She was strong, smart, and more importantly powerful. I can't hide my disappointment, I never thought I would ever find power like hers but then I met you."
"Shut up," said Y/n.
"The moment I laid my eyes on you I knew, I knew that you were different; more power and strength." Y/n felt someone whisper in her ear "You are going to do great things by my side."
"I'll never join you," she whispered.
"You look so lovely in that dress, green is a lovely color but your friend's blood looks even better on you."
Y/n snapped "GO TO HELL AND STAY THERE!"

Gasping for air, Y/n's eyes snapped alive the first thing her eyes saw the beautiful moon but the moon looked closer than usual. Her thought was interrupted by her awe, she observed blood trickling from the top of the moon and slowly reaching the bottom. Becoming even more aware of her surroundings, feeling the drip of liquid on her skin, and a strong iron smell came with it; blood.

Y/n began hearing the screams of her family as they were awoken by the sound of heavy thunder that struck the grounds and sky. The clouds darkened the sky so only a bright red moon was visible, a cloud appeared before the moon it slowly morphed into a colossal skull that seemed to be made of emerald stars with a serpent slithering out of its mouth.
The girl felt the air slap her skin as she descended towards the ground, strangely she didn't yell or scream instead she felt peace as her eyes remained focused on the bloody moon.
"Y/n! Hold on!" shouted someone from below.
"My beautiful obscurial." said the voice one last time before everything went dark.
