I run as fast as I can towards the screams from my sister. My legs keep pushing myself but yet I'm still stuck in the same spot.

"Tina!" Her blood-curdling scream echoes around me.

My heart is pumping, my legs are moving but I'm still stuck.

"Help us! I'm scared."

Tears spill out of my eyes as I scream her name.

Everything goes black as my body drops.

"Where were you?"

I can hear my sister's voice all around me, but I can't see anything.

"You left us." Now my mother's voice surrounds me.

"You were meant to protect me. You were meant to be my big sister." Her voice repeats over and over.

"I didn't know! I didn't know this was going to happen!" I scream.

I stand up and run only to stop when she stands in front of me with cuts on her face and dried blood.

"I know I'm not that strong, I still need you," She cries in pain as I try to reach her, but I can't.

She fades away as I continue to yell her name.

I sit up crying with sweat covering my body. It was a nightmare. A stupid nightmare. I take a deep shaky breath and wipe my eyes. I throw off my blanket and walk into my bathroom looking at myself in the mirror.

I cover my mouth, trying to be silent as my body shakes and sobs escape my throat. I look at myself again in the mirror. It's all my fault, I could have saved them. I punch the mirror, causing it to shatter. Shards of the broken mirror cut my knuckles from the impact causing my skin to split and blood to drip onto the bathroom floor. I continue to cry as I sit on the bathroom floor with my nightmare replaying in my mind.

I stand up and walk out of the bathroom and over to my bed. I grab a cloth and wet it, cleaning the blood off me, and throwing the now bloody cloth on the bathroom floor. I slowly put on my black sweater and grab my wand, quietly opening my door, and making sure no one is in the hallway. I close it behind me and walk into the common room where no one occupies it. I walk down the boy's dorm hallway until I stop at the first door I know. I hesitate but knock on it with my good hand. It takes a few minutes, but the door opens, and Blaise stands behind it sleepily. He looks me up and down not sure of who I am but then he realizes, and concern paints his face.

"Tina? Are you okay?" He places his hand on my shoulder and comes closer, looking at my face better.

I shake my head no and another tear slips down my face. He pulls me to him, embracing me in a hug. I let out a cry as he rubs my back, letting me cry. He pulls us into his room and closes the door while still hugging me. We stay in this embrace for a while, but he doesn't complain, he reassures me everything is going to be okay. After a while, I stop crying and pull away looking at him as he looks down at me still concerned.

"I had a nightmare. This one was the worst yet. I'm sorry for waking you up," I whisper to him.

He embraces me again. "Don't be sorry. You can come to me when you need me. I mean that." He pulls away and I look around.

I walk over to his bed and sit down at the end while he turns his lamp on and then sits on the other side of me, resting his body against the head bored.

"Do you want to talk about it? We don't have to," He says softly and I look at him and nod my head no, I'm too tired to go through that again.

He gives me an understanding smile and gets off the bed grabbing his pillow and a blanket out of his trunk. He puts his pillow on the ground and lays down the blanket covering his body. "You can have my bed. I'll have the floor."

I nod and crawl to the head of the bed and get under the covers letting the blanket trap my body with warmth. I stare at the roof, being afraid, trapped in my mind that if I fall asleep, I will have to face my sister again.

"Zabini! Get up!"

I wake up to someone shouting at Blaise's door. I look around and notice Blaise coming out of the bathroom with just a towel around his waist while water still drops from his hair. I quickly turn away and throw a pillow at him causing him to laugh at me.

"Oh my god Blaise. Put some clothes on!" I make sure to not be so loud that anyone behind the door can't hear me.

He walks over to his trunk and pulls out some clothes to wear today. Suddenly the door burst open, so I throw the blanket over my body in an attempt to hide.

"Ah, Blaise, I see you have company," I notice the voice belongs to Theo.

"Who's the girl Zabini?" I stop breathing at the realization of Mattheo being with Theo in here.

The boys laugh but I notice Blaise's laugh is different from normal, he must be nervous like I am. I hear Theos laugh getting closer but then he goes quiet, and the blanket is pulled off my face where I lock eyes with Theo. His expression changes from shock to anger. He pulls the blanket off my body, throwing it to the ground.

"Valentina? You shagged Black?" Theo turns away from me with his fist in a ball by his side and looks at Blaise with anger. Blaise doesn't speak, he faces me with an apologetic look.

I sit up and throw my pillow at Theo, bringing his attention away from Blaise and to myself, "No Theo, that's not what happened."

He picks the pillow up and throws it at me, but I catch it. "Like I'm going to believe that. You're in his bed, while he has a towel around his waist."

I look at Mattheo who is already staring at me. "I promise it's not how it looks. I just woke up when you started yelling out. Blaise went for a shower, that's all. I stayed here after having a nightmare. Look, he slept on the floor." I point to the pillow and blanket on the floor near Mattheo. They both look down and Mattheo doesn't say a word or spare me a glance. He walks out of the room, slamming the door.

Theo looks at me and sits down next to me on the bed while Blaise slowly grabs his clothes, walking into the bathroom to change.

"I'm sorry. Usually, when there's a girl in one of our rooms it's for an obvious reason." He looks at me and hits me with the pillow causing me to laugh. "You deserve that for the heart attack you gave me." I smile at him, and Blaise walks back over to us, dressed.

"We going to Hogsmeade today if you want to join us?" He asks and I give them a smile and stand up.

"Sorry boys but I have plans with Granger. I'll have to go another time," They both look at each other but smile at me understanding. "Thank you for letting me stay last night Blaise. I'm going to go get ready."

Blaise gives me a hug. "Anytime. Come find us when you're done with Granger." I wave bye to Theo and Blaise and walk back to my dorm.
