*Knock, Knock*

Uggghhhh

"Come on Y/n"

"Y/n, Y/n, come onnnnn", I was awoken to being shaken. "Come on Y/n, get upppp", "WHYY??" "Cause its the day", "What day", I respond tiredly, getting up, confused of my whereabouts. "The first day back silly, now lets gooo". 
I get up and look around, only to find that I'm in my room, not my dorm, my room... in my house...

How'd I get here? I thought to myself, walking downstairs to my kitchen. I was swiftly greeted by the smell of pancakes. I quietly took a seat at the island in the middle of our marble kitchen. 

"There's my sleepyhead", my mother said, passing me a plate of pancakes. "What's going on?", I ask confused. "What do you mean bro", a female-ish voice says behind me, I turn my head to see who was speaking, and as they took a seat beside me I realised it was none other than my best friend Gia Zabini.

"Gia?", I question, "Yeah?" she questions confused, "I'm confused", I say, "How'd I get here?", I question, "Uhmm, you walked?", she replied. "No, not to the kitchen, I mean to my house, I was just in the infirmary", I state, she looks back at me confused, "No you weren't, you were asleep, in your bed". 

"What?, no I swear I was just in the infirmary talking to Victor and Mattheo", I say still confused", "Who are they?", she questions. "My friend and my ex", I reply, "I'm so confused", "Oh honey, you must've had a lucid dream", Mom chimes in. 

"Lucid dream?" I question, "Yeah, it can be common in people your age sometimes", she says. "Oh, it just felt so... real", "Yeah, that's what they do, it's okay though, you'll be okay baby". 

"Okay", I mumble, still trying to process this all, I sit in silence as I finish my pancakes, then make my way to my room, to pack for the start of the new school year. 

We get to Kings Cross and make our way to the platform, Gia and I say goodbye to my Mother and we get on the train, we find an empty compartment and step inside. 

"So Y/n?", she questions, "Yeah", I respond, "Tell me about this dream", she states. "There isn't much to tell", I say, obviously lying. "So you're not gonna tell me about that Mattheo and that Victor guy, or whatever their names were, or maybe perhaps how one of them became your ex?" She questions. 

I look at her with tired eyes, her obviously eager for a response, "Fine", I mumble. "The dream started off on the first day of the new year, a few days in, a new kid joined Hogwarts and his name was Mattheo Riddle", "Riddle?" she questions, "Like Mouldy Voldy?", she questions again, intrigued, "Yeah, his dad is Mouldy Voldy", I respond, "Woah okay", she replies.

"Yeah, well anyway, a few months after that another new student joined the school, Victor Salvatore, Victor is my old friend from ages ago when we were little and Mattheo, well we started talking and like really hit it off, pretty much straight away and we got together", "So what does he look like?", Gia buts in.

"Well he was pretty tall, maybe around 6'2, 6'3, I'm not exactly sure, he has dark brown curly hair, brown eyes, pretty average build, and a scar over one of his eyes", "Damn he sounds pretty hot", she says. "Yeah, he is", I say. "Too bad he's made up", she responds, "Yeah...", I sigh. 

I tell Gia a little more about the dream and Enzo joined us after a while, I'm so glad he's real, then before we knew it we had reached the station. We got off the train and made our way over to the carriages. I always admired the Thestrals that pulled the carriages, I knew why I could see them and others couldn't. I didn't acknowledge them however because I didn't want to seem crazy to the others. 

We got in our carriage and made our way toward the beautiful castle I call home. 

We made our way to our table and watched the first years get sorted, we all got settled in for the new year at Hogwarts. After a couple hours we went back down to the great hall for dinner.

"Hey guys", I say sitting down next to my friends, a little disappointed about a certain someone not being here. They all reply and I gave them a small smile before looking away to avoid eye contact as I couldn't help but feel down. A few minutes pass and Enzo asks "Hey, what's wrong Y/n?, "Oh its nothing, don't worry about it", I say sadly and exchange a look with Gia. She knew exactly what was wrong. 

I gave her a kinda *You can tell them* look, and turned away again. "Okay so..." Gia starts and tells them the story of my "lucid dream". About  10 minutes pass and Gia stops talking, Enzo pulls me into a warm hug, kinda making me feel better, and comforts me for a while.

About halfway through dinner Professor Dumbledore started an announcement, "Attention... this year, we have two new students joining us", I lookup out of curiosity and actually pay attention to what he's saying. I hear Pansy talking in the background, "I hope they're hot", she says with a smirk, I roll my eyes and continue listening to Dumbledore.

"They have already been sorted and will be joining the 4th year Slytherin's. Please welcome Mattheo and Kai Riddle", Dumbledore shouts. The whole room went silent. My heart stopped in its tracks and my eyes widened in shock, it felt like I couldn't move, like I'd been paralysed. I was brought back to reality by Enzo slightly shaking me, I turned to face Gia with a look as if I'd just seen a ghost. I watched the door open, the suspense building, everything felt as if it was in slow motion. 

My heart was beating faster and faster and I waited for what felt like forever, the door opened and my friends waited too as they were all stunned as well. All of our jaws dropped except for mine as he looked exactly how I'd described in my dream. I watched him in silence as an abrupt whisper filled the room, probably all gossip about his last name, where he came from, and who his parents were. 

I couldn't help but stare as they walked through the hall to the front of the room. Kai, I'm guessing, shook hands with Professor Dumbledore, and then they both turned toward our table. As they made their way over to the gap at the end of the table. He caught me staring and stared back, we held eye contact until he reached the table before looking down to the first years who were all shaking slightly out of fear. 

He looked down at one of the boys and smirked before speaking, "Boo", he said in a deep voice exactly as he sounded in my dream. He looked back up to me and his smirk dropped as his eyes squinted as if he was trying to figure me out, once again. I squinted back and gave him a rude look before looking away, facing back towards my friends, Enzo, Gia, Theodore, Blaise and Pansy.

The hall's volume slowly increased as dinner continued, I felt eyes on me multiple times throughout the rest of dinner but I chose to ignore it. I glanced over to them, sitting alone at the end of the table, talking to each other, I couldn't help but listen in. "I don't get it Kai", I heard Mattheo say, "I can't get in", he finished before dropping his food back down to his plate in what felt like confusion and anger. "Try again", Kai replied.

I decided to glance back over at them again to see him... Mattheo Riddle... death staring me as if he knew I could hear them. I quickly looked away and continued talking to my friends, "Hey, I think I'm gonna head up to bed, I'm pretty tired", I state before saying a few goodbyes and then leaving the Great Hall. I was about to go down to the common room before deciding to switch courses and head towards my favourite place. 

Still the Astronomy Tower.

I made my way up the stairs and walked over to the balcony and watched the stars in peace. It felt so quiet, peaceful, relaxing. I loved watching the stars, they make me feel whole, I admire them because they never leave. Everything else always seems to leave somehow.

My thoughts became interrupted after a while as I felt a weird sensation fly through my body. It kinda felt like burning, it took me a minute to realise what it was after being so wrapped up in my thoughts.

I was being watched.

Hey y'all, how's it going, sorry it took me a while to get this out there, I've been pretty lazy recently. But anywayyy, there you go, hope y'all enjoyed. Remember I love you all and remember to drink some water, and eat some food. You are loved <33
