The dreams and Blood Ink

Alright guys, the reason I haven't been uploading is because I was away for two days and in that time my sister crashed my laptop. Along with that, all of my stories were erased. I had backed up most of them but not about 7 chapters of my Harry Potter story and my other one on here. I was so upset that I didnt feel like re-writing it because I knew it wasn't going to be as good as the chapters I had already written. But i did finish this chapter and the next one should be out soon :)

The rest of the class was silent and I could sense Harry, Ron and Hermione staring at me with worry.  I just shrugged and zoned out the rest of the period. My other classes went by quickly and we all headed to dinner. I sat down and nibbled on a bread roll, anxious about my talk with Dumbledore. I saw him stand towards the end of dinner and he sent me a quick glance before leaving.

               “Are you quite alright, Hero?” Hermione asked.

               “Wha-? Yes, I’m fine. Just thinking.”

               “I wonder what Umbridge is going to do to you during detention.” Ron wondered out loud. Hermione shot him a look and Harry looked at me in worry.

               I shrugged. “I haven’t the slightest idea, but I know it can’t be good.” I grumbled.

               Suddenly a rush of black hair came to me. It was Angelina Johnson. “Hero!” She huffed. “You made Chaser this year again. You’re one of our best.  I really need you and Harry.”

               I looked over to Harry who was grinning at me. “Thanks Angelina,” I huge smile played on my lips. “This year is going to be so fun!” My mood lifted and I had butterflies in my stomach.  Harry nodded and smiled and I just wanted to throw my arms around him and give him a big kiss, but I resisted the urge.

               Angie gave us one more smile before prancing back off to her friends. “Congrats, you two!” Hermione chirped and Ron followed. I gave Harry a pat on the knee and I could see the small blush on his cheeks. “Well, I guess I need to get going. Can’t be late for Umbridge.” I smirked at the thought. “I wonder what she’ll do…” I trailed off as I stood up and grabbed my bag.

               “You don’t have to leave just yet. Umbridge isn’t even gone yet.” Harry said, confused. Umbridge was obviously still sitting up at the platform, eating with the other teachers.

               “I- I know, I want to get there before her. So I can have the satisfaction of being there first. If you know what I’m saying.” I lied through my teeth. I didn’t want to tell them about the dreams yet. It was probably just my subconscious toying with me.

               Hermione and Ron nodded, but Harry didn’t look convinced. “Don’t worry.” I smiled and he half-smiled back.

               I walked out of the dining hall and walked through the corridors until I reached a familiar statue.

               “Licorice wands” I whispered and watched as the statue twisted and turned, revealing stairs. I climbed them and walked inside the large office.

               “Hello there, Hero. Come on in and tell me what’s troubling you.”

“Professor,” I started, “Thank you for seeing me so late.”

               He put a hand to stop me. “It’s no problem, Hero. I’ll see you anytime.”

               We made small talk for what seemed like forever before I actually got down to explaining the dream. I went on, from the scenes to my feelings during the dream and so on. Dumbledore listened intensely and his facial expression worried me.
