        A couple weeks went by since the incident with Stephen. Everything was going steady, so far. I really didn't see Stephen, that was pretty good. I had a good time with Oliver and my friends. But then, things started to take a turn. I was going to bed one night. I started to dream.

  I was talking to Angelina as we were walking down the hall. We were laughing and having a good time. We then spotted Stephen. Oliver was on the ground in pain at his feet. "You're just in time to see the show," he sneered. He looked at Oliver and did the unthinkable. I never wanted to be near anyone who said those words. "Crucio!" Oliver screamed in pain. He was shaking. It was terrifying. "Stop!" I screamed as loud as I could, hard, since I was choking on tears. Angelina ran to get authority. I pulled out my wand. He chuckled. "Violet, run!" Oliver said. Stephen walked closer. "You think that's bad?" He walked back to Oliver. I had a horrible feeling that I knew what he would do, but I hope he wouldn't. He pointed his wand at Oliver. "Avada Kedavra!"

  I woke up, screaming. I was sweating, a lot. I started to sob. My friends woke up and rushed to my side. "Violet, what happened?" Angelina asked. I started to shake. "Sorry, it was a dream." Angelina nodded. They all went back to their beds. Then, two figures ran to my room. Oliver and Brandon stood in the doorway. "Are you okay? What happened?" Brandon spoke. I was still shaking. Oliver came over to my side. I jumped into his arms. I held him tightly. "Can I talk to you?" He nodded, still wrapping his arms around me. We walked down to the common room. "What happened?" I gulped. "I had a dream, well, nightmare." His eyes turned serious. "I was walking down the hall, when I saw Stephen. You were on the ground. Stephen then, p-performed the c-cruciatus curse on you. It was terrifying. Then he, he," I couldn't finish. I couldn't say those words. "What did he do?" I took a deep breath, but the tears just kept coming, a lot more. "He did the killing curse on you." That's when I lost it. Oliver pulled me into his arms. He knew that this wasn't just a silly childhood nightmare, this was a terrifying reality that could happen. "It's okay. I'm not going anywhere." We sat there for the rest of the night.

  I was on edge the next day. I didn't want to be anywhere near Stephen. I sat at the table, trying to eat breakfast. I felt someone sit next to me. I looked over at them. It was Stephen. I backed up a bit. He grabbed my arm and pulled me close. He whispered something into my ear. "Sweet dreams." He then left. I was confused. Did he know about my dream? Did he hear me and Oliver talk about it? I don't know. Oliver came over. "Hello m'lady." He gave me a kiss on the cheek. He saw that I was shaken up. He took my hand. "He said something to me." Oliver stopped what he was doing. "What did he say?" I paused. "Sweet dreams." Oliver's mood changed real quick. He looked around and spotted Stephen walking down the hall. He got up and started to walk towards him. "Oliver, don't!" He stopped for a second. I looked over at Stephen. He was laughing at Oliver. Oliver continued to walk over. I got worried. After the end of last year, I've been very worried about Oliver. I didn't want to loose him again.
