Ali woke up screaming. Tears streamed down her cheeks and she was drenched in sweat as images of Tom Riddle, aka Lord Voldemort, flashed through her mind and all the pain and guilt he had caused her. It was because of him she petrified so many people and had nearly gotten Harry killed down in the Chamber.

She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't notice Harry had jolted awake when he heard his younger sister scream until he had wrapped his arms around her tightly and pulled her onto his lap.

"Hey hey shhh." He whispers as he held her close and kisses her head. "Is okay Ali, it's okay. It was just a nightmare."

She shook her head and buried her head in his chest, clinging to his shirt as tightly as she could. "It wasn't a nightmare." She whispered. "Not really. It was a memory."

He looks down at her, her face visible in the bright light the full moon gave off trough the window. "A memory? Which one?" Alison had gotten so many different kinds of nightmares over the years and none of them were the 'scary monsters' she had seen in her dreams as a small child. Now they were things like Voldemort killing him, what had happened during his second year, him getting killed by a werewolf or getting his soul sucked out by a dementor, the list could now go on and on.

"T-Tom." She mumbles, her voice muffled by his shirt. But Harry didn't need anymore explanation, he knew exactly what she was talking about. He had seen those nightmare too for the past nearly two years because he had the same kinds of nightmares; nearly losing his baby sister in the Chamber.

He holds her tighter and closer then kisses her head. "He's never going to hurt you again Ali." He whisper softly in her ear as he began to rock her a little. "Never."

"He nearly killed you Harry." She whispers, clinging to his pajama shirt even tighter as images of Harry's arm bleeding and the veins turning black from the Basilisk venom. He would've died if Fawkes hadn't healed it just in time.

He nods and kisses her head. "I know. But look at me, I'm all better now and still breathing aren't I?"

She smiles just a little and nods. "Yeah you are. And I'm never gonna let you get hurt again." She says bravely which made Harry chuckle a little.

"Is that so?"

She nodded again. "Yes it is. I'll kick whoever is mean to you's butts."

He laughs and kisses her cheek. "Okay okay as long as you don't hurt yourself or get hurt doing it alright?"

She giggles a little and nods her head. "Okay Harry."

He lays her back down and tucks her in making sure her doll was right next to her just the way she liked it. "Now go to sleep Al. It's been a long day and night for the both us and we've still got classes tomorrow."

Alison groans and grabs her brother's pillow then puts it over her head. "I don't wanna go to classes tomorrow." She mumbles.

He chuckles a little and slowly takes his pillow back then kisses her forehead as he lays down. "I know you don't but we've got to. Now go to sleep."

She nodded and snuggled into the soft blankets and into her his side when his arm wraps around her and pulls her close.

"Harry?" She whispered after a minute of peaceful silence.

"Yeah?"

"How'd your name get picked if you never put it in?" She asks, looking up at him.

He frowns a little. "You don't believe me?" He asks. How could she think he had put ten his name in the Goblet!? She had seen what had happened to Fred and George when they tried, so why would she think he had somehow managed to get around it!?

She, however, quickly shook her head. "No no no I do believe you Harry, I do. I just... who would've put ten your name in? Malfoy couldn't have cause he's too young to get over the line and no one who is old enough hates you."

He takes a deep breath and nods, happy that she didn't think he had done this. "I don't know Ali. It could've been Snape though. He hates me."

Ali shook her head. "I don't think it was him. He's mean but not a murderer."

Harry raises an eyebrow. "You don't think I'll survive?"

She bit down on her bottom lip which had begun to quiver. "Harry so many people have died in this tournament. People who are a lot older than you. I'm scared, I don't want to lose you."

He kisses her forehead. "I'm not gonna lie Ali, I'm scared too. But I'll do everything I can to not die okay? Not just because I obviously don't want to die, but because I don't want to leave you here all alone. I will not let that happen."

Alison looked up at him and nodded her head just a little before hugging him as tightly as she possibly could. "Thank you Harry." She whispered.

He kissed the top of her head as he hugged her back. "Just don't worry too much Al okay?"

She smiles a little as she looks back up at him. "I'm your sister, it's my job to worry about you."

He chuckles and squeezes her a little. "Yeah but you're my little sister so I get to worry about you more."

She pouted which Harry thought it made look like her adorable little kid self again. She didn't like it when Harry pulled the Big Brother, I'm Older Than You cards on her. "But I'm big too."

He chuckles again and nods. "Yes you are. You're becoming such a big girl whether I like it or not."

She giggles a little. "Why don't you like it?"

"Because you're my baby sister. No matter how big you get, that's what you are. And I miss having to carry you around in my arms and pinch your chubby little baby cheeks and-"

"And change my diapers and spit up?" She interrupted teasingly.

He laughs and shakes his head. "No I could defiantly live without those things. But still." Now it was Harry's ten to pout like a child.

Ali laughed and kissed his cheek. "I'll always be your baby sister Harry. But that doesn't mean I like being treated like a baby."

He smiles and ruffles her hair. "Okay fine. Now this time I'm serious, go to sleep." He says as he lays down.

She smiles and lays back down, using Harry's chest as a pillow. She grabs her doll and hugs it tightly as her eyes slowly fluttered close. "Night Harry." She mumbles.

"Night Ali." He whispers back and they both fell fast asleep.
