In your Dreams (G.W.)

Godric's Hollow

"Rookwood! NO. No, please" pleaded a tall black man with his wand out facing another wizard. "Finnigan, don't plead. He will always be a death eater" scowled a woman with thick black hair tied up in a neat bun. "STUPEFY" yelled the woman sending red sparks from her wand . The wizard went flying backwards. "We asked you to join the Dark Lord,but, you chose to side with the mudbloods  and the blood traitors. Now, your family will pay for it"said Rookwood panting. The main door of the house burst open and in came two other people pointing their wands at the couple. "Ah! Alecto, Amycus! We were wondering when we were gonna see you" said the wizard named Finnigan. "You still have time,Finnigan-Lilliana. You and your family will be spared when the Dark Lord rises again" croaked the short man. "Voldemort is gone,Amycus. If he is to return, Dumbledore will be here to save my family" spat Lilliana. "Dumbledore!!" said Alecto with a sneer. "Didn't you not hear, what happened to the Potters? Dumbledore didn't save them, nor is he going to save you" spat Amycus. "Did you not hear? The Potter boy ended your master's power, Alecto. A one year old boy!" laughed Lilliana. "You dare speak of that, filthy blood traitor! AVADA KEDAVRA" there was a green flash and Lilliana's body lay lifeless on the floor. "NO! NO! Lilliana! No!" screamed Finnigan cradling his wife's body in his arms. "YOU MONSTERS! WHAT WILL I TELL MY DAUGHTER NOW?" screamed Finnigan at the top of his voice. "You won't live to tell the tale, my dear old friend" said Rookwood pointing his wand at Finningan. AVADA KEDAVRA! Finnigan's body flew a feet above the ground and finally collapsed some paces away from his wife's body, lifeless.

An old man and a little girl of not more than four entered the house laughing and chatting. "Granpip, why are mum and pip sleeping on the floor?" said the little girl confused, looking at the two bodies laying on the floor. The Old man stopped dead on his tracks. He was immobilised by the sight he saw. He finally picked up the little girl in his arms, and whispered into her ear "Mum and Pip are resting now, darling. We will see them again. I promise". A tear fell from the old man's eyes when he saw the innocent face of the little thing . She reached to his eyes and wiped the tear away with her palm and smiled. 

The gang was sitting at the Hufflepuff table when the mails started arriving. Bitsy came swooping in and dropped three packages on the table before the gang and a letter on Y/N's plate. "Bits, not on my plate" Y/N said scowling. "This is for you. This is for you and this one's yours" Y/N said handing over the birthday presents to the triplets. "Blimey a coupon from Quality Quidditch Supplies, guess I can grab the that Firebolt atlast" said Marc giving Y/N a side hug as she sat squeezed between him and Cedric. "Why, do you know us well! Thanks, Y/N" chirped Val from across the table content with her brand new Walkman. Y/N smiled when she saw Al intently going through the books and records she had bought her. "Jane Austen. She is one of my favorite muggle authors. She is witty and cheeky, I know you'll love her" Al looked up and nodded smiling and gave Y/N's hand a little squeeze. "Who is that from?" asked Cedric as Y/N tore open the letter . "It's from Tonks" said Y/N nonchalantly. "What are you doing talking to her?"asked Val ."Oh! nothing its just that I was considering being an auror and she is on her way to become the youngest. Did you know , she left Hogwarts just two years ago?" said Y/N placing the letter in her robes. "I talked to Madam Pomfrey too. I think she is willing to let me help her at the infirmary next year" said Y/N taking a sip from her Pumpkin juice. "Oh! thanks for making me feel useless on my birthday" Val rolled her eyes. "Oh c'mon, I have to weigh my options isn't it?" said Y/N earning a scowl and a groan from Marc and Val. "It's only our fifth year, relax Y/L/N".

  "Um.... Y/N", whispered Cedric, tugging at the sleeve of her robes. Y/N hummed from her plate with her mouth stuffed. "Erm.... why are the Weaselys pointing towards you?" Y/N choked on her Pumpkin juice. "Wha- What?" she said flushing red. She turned around to look at the Gryffindor table. Fred gave her a wink and a grinned and George's face matched their dominant house color. Y/N immediately turned around and started to toy with her food. "Well?" asked Cedric. "Well what, Ceddie? Fred is mad. Must be planning some prank. Oh, you know how they are." Cedric nodded, but he looked far from convinced. A group of giggling girls caught the group's attention. There stood Penny behind Val with her three little friends giggling furiously making her blush. One of them pushed her towards Val. "Um.... Happy Birthday , Val. This is for you" she said hesitatingly taking Val's wrist and fastening a silver bracelet on it. "Blimey! It's beautiful , Penny. T-thank you." Val said admiring the bracelet which had a "V" on it. She stood up and turned around , looked Penny in the eye and pressed a peck on her lips. Both of them giggled and blushed. Fred wolf whistled from the Gryffindor table and all the students sitting around cheered, while Marc gagged at the scene, earning him his usual stomp on his foot from Y/N. "I guess, I'll see you around" said Val scratching the back of her neck. "Oh! and Happy Birthday to you two, too" said Penny before walking off. "Merlin, she had time to notice us too-"  SMACK! "Ow" scowled Marc.Y/N got up from her seat bidding the others goodbye and walked off. She winked at George before she walked out of the doors.

"Don't make it obvious, Freddie" said George with through gritted teeth. Fred had been continously glancing towards the Hufflepuff table. After Fred absolutely grilled George about the happenings at the Astronomy Tower last night in the common room, he had taken it upon himself to let the others know about how his twin felt. "Oh! but if she likes you too, she won't have an issue with this, will she?" winked Fred .  "But, I am not sure what that was -" George was cut off when Fred nudged his elbow and motioned towards the Hufflepuff table. George felt his cheeks flush when he saw those brown eyes looking over at him. "Freddie, you git" he said smacking Fred's palm. "What's got his knickers in a twist?" said Ron hogging his bacon. "Oh, just the OWLs, you know!" said Fred shrugging. "Since when did George start to care about school?" said Hermione sarcastically, making Harry and Ron laugh. George looked towards the Hufflepuff table again, Y/N caught his eyes and winked at him. Merlin's Beard! I am so dead.

Cedric and Y/N sat in their warm common room all cuddled up before the fire and sipping their butterbeers. It was again a tiring day for the fifth years.They had their usual study sessions with the gang in the library. They returned to the common room very late all tired and drained. The  circular room was empty and two butterbeers were waiting for them on the table beside the fireplace. "You have to go with her, Ceddie" said Y/N looking up slightly from Cedric's shoulder. "I don't know, Y/N. I-it's just" "too real?" questioned Y/N now sitting up on the couch. "Ceddie, you literally just confessed that you like her that day in the library. Unfortunately, there was chaos so she couldn't hear you , but I did. She needs you by her side at Godric's Hollow!" said Y/N sternly. "He was the only family she was left with! She needs someone who will understand her and comfort her" she said placing a hand on Cedric's shoulder. "Then why don't you go? You can do that too" said Cedric. "Because Ceddie, I won't know what to say to her. And the fact that she asked you to come with her is a pretty good reason , I think." Cedric shrugged and nodded. "Everything will be alright, okay" said Y/N placing a peck on Cedric's forehead. "C'mon, now , go get some sleep. You have to wake up early tomorrow" Y/N stretched her arms towards Cedric. He stood up taking her hands in his from the couch and they walked up the stairs leading to their dormitories.
