It was nearly 4:00am. We were finally sleeping in our dorm room. Actually, Hermione and Bri were asleep. I really couldn't fall asleep all of a sudden which is odd. Thoughts were overtaking my mind at the minute. I turned sideways and went on my phone decidedly. The home screen shown a picture of me and Harry when we were five. He was laughing while playing with my stuff animal Hippogriff. Nonetheless I was smiling joyfully. A heartily warmness fulfilled my stomach. That kind of warmth that felt rather buzzing. My cheeks burned hotly. I smiled warmly and pressed my gallery button which revealed a huge pack of photos I took since the day I got my phone. There was one of me and Hermione goofing off at the library. I hid a chuckle before swiping to another. Ron, Harry and I were throwing jellybeans at each other during lunch. Hermione looked really annoyed. I maintained a soft giggle. She was even more irritated by Ron's unnecessary crunching. I swiped again and it shown me and Harry on my home bed laughing. A toy Snitch in his hand. My brain clicked. We tried catching it till I tripped over his shoes and fell on the floor. Wow, that was unfortunate. Another picture popped up. Butterflies rattled my stomach with my knees feeling a bit weak.

I sneakily snapped a photo of Harry when we were studying in the common room. That moment of us holding hands at the Black Lake kept jumping my brain. My cheeks were burning now. His rounded glasses covering those...blue-greenish eyes along with the innocent smile he always had. I stared into almost a trance. His messy dark hair I'd always playfully ruffled. My godmother think it needs tending but it always made him look nicer. His Aunt Petunia thought it was horrible yet her son was thicker than SpongeBob's friend Patrick. Nothing couldn't take my eyes off this picture. These thoughts I was having was driving me nuts mentally. The softness from his hand that intertwined with mine three times. Tingles in my veins from when we slept at the hospital wing. Butterflies erupted crazier than usual. What is this feeling? An insane feeling through my body anytime I see...Harry. I've seen him all my life yet this gut-punching feeling won't go away. Brianna stirred a bit while snoring. I mentally breathed a breath of relief. My brain clicked. Tea. Maybe I'll make myself tea before going to bed. I put my phone back on the nightstand and rolled out of bed to grab my wand. I walked downstairs quietly to the common room. The warm central air was nice. I poured a cup of green tea and sat on the couch where the fire's present. I carefully sipped and sighed. Hopefully, this takes away these odd feelings. November is here which means Thanksgiving, but we don't go home till Christmas break. I'll terribly miss Mom's Thanksgiving feast. Maybe she'll send a package of the food. I drank once it got warm and admired the view of the room. I finished the cup and yawned. Finally! I got up and walked upstairs. "Lumos." I whispered. A white light flickered on my wand tip but managed not to startle Peeves before I got to our room. I tip-toed to my bed and took off my slippers. My wand laid beside my phone and I went under my blankets. Slowly, I was taken right to the dreamworld...

The brightening sunlight collided with a blue colored sky. The jungle was peaceful with little noises from birds anywhere. A lioness and a lion were happily chasing each other around and playfully tackling each other. Butterflies swarmed around them happily and flew away. They playfully ran and chased each other till their bodies collided. The two sat on the grass, taking a minute to unknowingly stare into each other's golden orbs. She licked her friend's cheek before running off, not long after the lion followed. An edge of a grassy-filled cliff was where they sat closely and cuddled their heads together as if they shared something special...

My eyes jolted awake when my buzzing alarm beeped. My heart was beating, yet my knees were weakening and my stomach was tingling. All I could feel was...happiness?
