The Riddles

I woke up breathing heavily after having a bad dream. I grabbed my lamp from the side of my bed and went downstairs to the common room.

When I got down I went and sat on the couch oblivious to everything around me I was just focused on what I had just seen.

I felt the couch weigh down beside me and someone spoke.

"You okay?" I got asked.

"Hm, yeah." I replied.

"You sure? You don't look okay." He said.

I turn to look at who was talking to me and realise it was Matteo.

"Oh uhm, no. Not really. Sorry I thought you were some random." I said.

"Wow, okay then. Didn't even recognise your own brother. I see how it is. Anyway, what's up?" He asked.

"I had this really, really strange dream."

"Go on."

"I was sitting in a dark room, at a huge table with loads of people around it and my arm was sore. I looked down and saw this strange mark appearing. I also saw someone get killed by this man who had no nose." I said. Matteo has a look of horror on his face.

"What did the mark look like?" He asked me.

"Uhm. I cant quite remember but i'm pretty sure it was a skull with a snake." I said.

"A, a skull with a snake?" He stuttered.

"Yeah. Are you okay?"

"What? Yeah I'm fine."

"Okay."

"Anything else?"

"Ehm, no. Not that I can remember at least. I don't suppose that you have any idea of what it could mean?"

"No I don't sorry."

"No worries. Wasn't expecting you to know anyways."

"You'll tell me if you have any other dreams won't you?"

"Yeah I will. Don't you worry brother."

"Never say that again."

"Fine. I'm going to go back to bed. You should too."

"Yeah I will."

We both walked towards our dorms and once we got there we headed our separate ways. I walked in and Astoria hadn't moved one bit.

I climbed back into bed and closed my eyes. I just couldn't sleep. That dream was just on my mind. I just needed to try and get sleep.

It was the day of the first task and I was sat with Hermione and Ron in the stands.

"You look very tense Hermione." I said.

"Well obviously I am. Harry could die!" She exclaimed.

"Yeah, he could, but so could the others." I said.

"Y/N, Harry's our friend! Do you not care?"Hermione said.

"Well of course I care! But I care about the others too!" I exclaimed.

"You'll be rooting for Harry then." Hermione asked.

"Yeah. And Cedric. I'm rooting for the Hogwarts boys." I said.

"Are you going to support Krum?" I asked Ron.

"How did you know?" He asked.

"It's pretty obvious. I've been told you're his biggest fan and I've heard that you and Harry have fallen out." I said.
