Y/N tosses and turns in her sleep. Her breath is sharp and shallow and her eyes are tightly shut. Her brow is covered in a thin layer of sweat and the back of her shirt is completely drenched like she is recovering from a fever.

She's in a dark corridor and peers down the end. She hears a hissing sound and a large snake, a python slithers down the empty corridor. Y/N follows it as it slowly makes its way past many doors until it reaches the one at the end of the corridor.

Behind it, Mr Weasley stands drawing his wand at the snake. He doesn't seem to see Y/N. He fires a golden jinx at the snake but misses, the snake strikes Mr Weasley and he screams.

The snake strikes again and again and Y/N can do nothing but watch. Her legs won't move and her voice won't yell for help. She helpless

----------------------------------------------------------

"Y/N, Y/N wake up please!" Hermione's voice calls

Y/N finally gasps for air she wakes up, her eyes still slammed shut. Hermione touches the Ravenclaws cheeks in the hope to soothe her girlfriend.

"Harry" Y/N murmurs "Hermione we need to check on Harry. Mr Weasley- the snake"

"Y/N what I-"

Y/N finally opens her eyes and a wave of anger goes over her. She doesn't know why but she is back in the graveyard watching Cedric's lifeless body fall the ground. Voldemort's face grins up at her and suddenly someone grabs her.

"Get off me!" she yells and pushes the person off her.

She's back in her girlfriends dorm and the Ravenclaw looks around to see Hermione on the floor and she connects the dots, she had hurry Hermione. Y/N looks down at her hands which are shaking and Hermione looks stunned.

"Y/N" Hermione says barely above a whisper as she looks at the Ravenclaw with tears in her amber eyes.

"Hermione I-I'm sorry I don't know what's happening to me, I didn't mean to-" Y/N says panicking "Mr Weasley is in danger and Harry too"

Hermione is too shocked to speak that Y/N angrily just yelled at her and practically broke down. However she nods and rushes out of the room. Y/N falls back down on the bed her body shivering and her mind racing. She can barely hear anyone come into her room and a pair of arms lift her up and drag her out of the room.

As her eyes adjust she notices that Fred is the one carrying her down to the Gryffindor common room and she spots Professor McGonagall with Harry who is being held up by Ron and George and Hermione stands near the professor.

"Professor Mr Weasley is in danger," Y/N says

"and you dreamt this Miss Black," McGonagall asks

"No, I saw it happen," Y/N says and looks at Harry who looks just as pale and sickly as Y/N

"All of you come with me, we need to speak with the headmaster," McGonagall says "Hermione wake up Ginny and meet at dumbledores office"

----------------------------------------------------------

"In the dream, were you standing next to the victim or looking down at the scene?" Dumbledore says to Harry

"Neither. It was like I-" Harry says in shallow breaths "Will you please just tell me what's happening?"

Dumbledore ignores him and turns to the paintings. Y/N sits on the steps leaning her head against the marble column not daring to speak. "Everard, Arthur's on guard duty tonight. Make sure he's found by the right people." Dumbledore whispers to the painting

"Sir," Harry says but the headmaster doesn't respond

"Phineas. You must go to your portrait at Grimmauld Place. Tell them that Arthur Weasley is gravely injured and his children will be arriving there soon by Portkey." Dumbeldore says to another painting

"They've got him, Albus." one of the paintings replies "It was close, but they think he'll make it. Once more, the Dark Lord failed to acquire it."

"Oh, thank goodness. Next, we need to-" Suddenly Harry's head shifts and the ringing in Y/N's ears gets louder and she covers her ears with her hands

"Look at me!" Harry yells and everyone stares at him in shock. McGonagall looks to Y/N who has her eyes shut "What's happening to us?" he finally says looking at Y/N.

The room goes awfully silent then suddenly Snape enters the office. "You wished to see me, headmaster?" his voice cuts through the silence

"Oh, Severus. I'm afraid we can't wait." Dumbledore says "Not even till the morning. Otherwise, we'll all be vulnerable."

Snape nods and McGonagall raises Y/N to her feet and the potions master gets both Harry and Y/N to follow him into his classroom. He forcefully flings them into two chairs leaving Harry and Y/N extremely confused and more dazed than they already are.

"It appears there's a connection between the Dark Lord's mind and your own." Snape starts "Whether he is, as yet, aware of this connection is, for the moment, unclear. Pray he remains ignorant."

"You mean, if he knows about it, then he'll be able to read our minds?" Harry asks

"Read it, control it, unhinge it." Snape says causing Y/N to audibly gulp "In the past, it was often the Dark Lord's pleasure to invade the minds of his victims, creating visions designed to torture them into madness. Only after extracting the last exquisite ounce of agony only when he had them literally begging for death, would he finally, kill them."

"How can we stop it," Y/N says dazed and Snape remains stoic

"Used properly, the power of Occlumency will help shield you from access or influence. In these lessons, I will attempt to penetrate both your minds. You will attempt to resist. Prepare yourself. Legilimens."

"Ahh" Both Harry and Y/N cry as they feel their heads about to explode

"Concentrate, Potter and Black. Focus." Snape says

Y/N and Harry both wriggle in their chairs letting out sharp grunts at the pain. However Snape doesn't let up and continues.

----------------------------------------------------------

The next day was awfully silent. Hermione had filled Flo, Cal and Jorden in on what happened last night. The group were supposed to leave for the train to head back to Grimmauld Place today for the Christmas break but Harry and Y/N were nowhere to be seen.

Hermione looked around at Hogwarts station in hopes of spotting her girlfriend. Flo stares at the Gryffindor with a worrying expression "I'm sure she's fine Hermione"

"Y/N and Harry are probably still shaken up" Jorden adds "who knows what happened in Snape's office"

Cal places a comforting hand on Hermione's shoulder "It's okay not to feel okay Hermione"

The Gryffindor girl holds Cal's hand and nods. Suddenly both Y/N and Harry appear, looking exhausted. Y/N dressed in all black boots, jeans, sweater and blazer. Despite her exhausted state she still looked quite elegant. Her expression remained emotionless as she approached the others.

"You two alright," Flo says and Harry and Y/N nod

"We're fine," Harry says and the Ravenclaw nods

"We should find our seats" Cal suggests and they all head on board the train.

Y/N walks beside Hermione but remains silent. Neither of them wants to bring up the events of last night. The others take a seat in an available cabin  it the Ravenclaw doesn't join them. Y/N trails to the end of the train where their is an empty cabin and closes the door behind her.

As she takes her seat, Y/N puts her headphones on and turns them up loud in hopes of drowning out the thoughts in her mind. She couldn't stand to be in the same room as her girlfriend not after what she did last night. She felt awful about it can't bare to see the hurt look in her face any longer. A tear falls down her cheek as she looks out the window and tries to calm her mind
