When we got into our room and closed the door, Hermione and I looked at each other, and an into each other's arms. We let go, giggling crazily. We changed into our pajamas and sat on our beds. We talked about random things for a while, just enjoying each other's company.

"Will you please sing, Hannah?" Hermione asked me suddenly.

She knew that I do singing, dancing and acting. I paused.

"I guess." I muttered back eventually. "There's nobody else here."

Hermione clapped her hands excitedly. I took my iPod out (that's a Muggle thing where you can listen to songs through these things called earphones) and I put it on full volume. I sang a song with the music in the background. (Play vid if you wish, sorry if you don' like it.)

When I finished, Hermione squealed and tackled me into a hug.

"Oh my gosh- you're absolutely AMAZING!" She yelled.

"Thanks." I laughed back.

I tied my hair up in a ponytail as Hermione went back to her bed and sat down.

"We should probably go to bed now." Hermione said to me.

I nodded back.

"Night, Hermione." I said to her as I tucked myself in under the covers.

"Night, Hannah." Hermione replied.

I picked up my wand and said

"Nox."

The light instantly turned off, and the room became dark. I put my wand back down and snuggled into my warm bed. Soon after, I fell asleep. Then I saw something, I was in a dark place. I couldn't quite make out where it was. I knew Harry was here, I just didn't know exactly where to find him. I also knew that this was...the third task!

I heard a cold voice whispering

"She's got a deep connection with Potter! I need her too! Bring them both to me!"

I knew it was talking about Harry and me. I got really scared. Then I heard Harry's voice screaming.

"NO!"

"Harry!"

I spun around and saw Cedric being thrown back by a spell. I screamed and immediately sat up in my bed. I checked my clock. It was 1 at night. That was late-early.

My face felt wet. I touched it and I felt tears on it. I must've been crying in my sleep. I hugged my knees to my chest and drew in a deep breath, letting it out again. I so badly wanted to go see Harry and Cedric. I closed my eyes as I sat.

I saw an image that Harry was being held up on what looked like a grave. I saw Cedric flying back from that spell. I gasped and opened my eyes. I looked at myself in the mirror opposite me, near Hermione's bed. My brown eyes sparkled in the moonlight that streamed in from our window.

Hermione stirred in her sleep, mumbling something quietly. I sighed and got back under my covers. I didn't close my eyes though. I put my hands behind my head and rested it on the pillow, staring directly up at the ceiling. I was too afraid to fall asleep. Even by closing my eyes I could just picture Harry's horrified face, which made me feel so scared.

"Hermione." I mumbled to her.

I really didn't want to wake her up. She didn't do anything. She was fast asleep. I decided not to wake her. I had a really bad feeling about the third task. I pulled my covers up even higher up to my chin anxiously. I wanted to go see Harry. I started shivering a bit. Wow, it really was cold. I put both my hands under my blanket and curled up into a ball. I was really scared to fall asleep.

But I did fall asleep. I didn't get the same dream though. I could just hear Harry's terrified scream ringing in my ears. I shrieked and opened my eyes. Sunlight poured in through the window, and Hermione was looking at me, concerned.

"Hannah?" She said, unsure.

I was panting a bit. I sat up in bed and wiped my face. It had tears on it. Oh man, I've been crying in my sleep...again! I looked at Hermione's puzzled and scared face. I gave her a hesitant smile.

"Bad dream." I explained shortly.

She nodded back quietly, staring at her feet on the bed.

"I've got to speak to Harry." I mumbled under my breath.

I kicked my blankets off and went to my trunk to pick out some clothes. I took them into the bathroom and got changed.

It was a cold morning, Hermione got changed into some warm clothes too, and we went out of our room together, meeting up with Ginny. Then we all went down to the Gryffindor common room. Harry and Ron came out of the boy's dorm and closed the door behind them. Seeing Harry made me feel so happy. I ran up to him.

"Harry!" I said excitedly, hugging him.

He looked so shocked for a while, but then, unsure, hugged me back.

"Um, hey Hannah." He said to me in a confused voice.

I let go and looked at him.

"Sorry." I said quietly. "I just...I had a bad dream about you...and somebody else." I explained.

Harry listened in carefully and held my hand.

"Don't worry Hannah I'm fine. Let's go have breakfast, OK?" He said to me, and we all went down to the Great Hall to have our breakfast.

I took a bowl of porridge with honey. I sat down beside Hermione and Ginny with Harry and Ron opposite me- like always. Someone came up and tapped me on the shoulder. I spun around and saw that it was Cedric. I smiled so widely and hugged him so tight.

"You're OK!" I whispered.

"What?" Cedric looked confused.

"Oh...nothing." I said quickly, letting go, and smiling.

Cedric nodded back like he understood and smiled back.

"Well, I heard about you and Malfoy."

"Seriously, it's been like ages!" I giggled.

"I know." Cedric replied. "I just didn't get to talk to you for a long time about it." He smiled at me.

I smiled back.

"The third task is coming soon." Cedric said, making my smile disappear.

He seemed to notice.

"But...we'll be OK, Hannah. Won't we, Harry?"

Cedric turned to him. Harry was frozen for a bit when I looked at him. The he nodded back.

"Yeah." He said to Cedric.

I looked from Harry to Cedric. Cedric turned back to me.

"See? Nothing to worry about." Cedric said, giving me another hug.

But there is something to worry about, Cedric. I saw it last night! I'm not letting you and Harry go through this alone. I thought in my head as Cedric let go of me. After Cedric left, I sat back in my seat to find all of my friends staring at me weirdly.
