I was traveling by floo powder back to Hogwarts. I coughed as I hit a stone fireplace and saw Mcgonagals office.

"Good evening, try not to get to much ash on the carpet Potter," she said barely looking over the top of her newspaper.

"Of course not, Professor," I said then I walked alone towards Gryffindor tower.

As I walked I looked out the windows and saw the sun sinking into the ground. I saw ran faster as I saw Hermione, Ginny, Ron and Harry at the portrait hole. As I got there I heard Hermione ah the password to the fat lady.

"Abstinence," and the door swung open.

"Thankyou," I said as I clambered inside the warm room.

"Won-won!" Screamed lavender brown and Ron and her went over to a chair and kissed.

"Oh, Harry and Eliza-" Hermione handed harry a scroll of parchment.

"To both of us?" I asked.

"That's what Dumbledore said-" Hermione responded.

"I guess your coming to the next lesson-" said Harry. I looked at the parchment.

"Wouldn't miss it-" I said happily.

"I have to tell you something-" Harry said to Hermione. We sat in the corner of the common room as Harry explained what we had heard with Draco and Snape.

"Don't you think — ?"

"— he was pretending to offer help so that he could trick Mal- foy into telling him what he's doing?"

"Well, yes," said Hermione.

"Ron's dad and Lupin think so," Harry said grudgingly. "But this definitely proves Malfoy's planning something, you can't deny that."

"No, I can't," she answered slowly.

"And he's acting on Voldemort's orders, just like I said!"

"Hmm . . . did either of them actually mention Voldemort's name?"

"I'm not sure . . . Snape definitely said 'your master,' and who else would that be?"

"I don't think that mentioned him, but they wouldn't in Hogwarts, I mean- Dumbledore!" I said.

"I don't know," said Hermione, biting her lip.

"Maybe his father?"

"How's Lupin?" Asked Hermione.
"Not great," said Harry, and he told her all about Lupin's mission among the werewolves and the difficulties he was facing. "Have you heard of this Fenrir Greyback?"

"Yes, I have!" said Hermione, sounding startled. "And so have you, Harry!"

"When, History of Magic? You know full well I never lis- tened . . ."

"No, no, not History of Magic — Malfoy threatened Borgin with him!" said Hermione.

"Back in Knockturn Alley, don't you re- member? He told Borgin that Greyback was an old family friend and that he'd be checking up on Borgin's progress!" I tried to act like I didn't know what they were talking about.

"I forgot! But this proves Malfoy's a Death Eater, how else could he be in contact with Greyback and telling him what to do?"

"It is pretty suspicious," breathed Hermione.

"Unless . . ."

"Oh, come on," said Harry in exasperation,

"you can't get round this one!"

"Well . . . there is the possibility it was an empty threat."

"You're unbelievable, you are," said Harry, shaking his head. "We'll see who's right. . . . You'll be eating your words, Hermione just like the Ministry. Oh yeah, We had a row with Rufus Scrimgeour as well. . . ."

"Oh, don't remind me of that-" I said rubbing my forehead.

"Liza, are you okay?" Asked Harry.

"Yeah, why?" I asked looking up at Harry.

"Don't lie, don't lie"

I stared at Harry and tried to block the dream that was attacking me.

"Eliza!" Said Harry as I tapped my foot ferociously.

"Ellie, look at me!" I was demanded by Tom. For some reason I was upside down... Though I couldn't see why.

"I'm here... Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts!" I said to myself.

"Elizabeth!" Said Hermione sternly. I saw her looking at me nervously for a moment.

"Fine!" I screamed as I looked at the ground. Both of my feet tapped the floor ferociously. I felt sweat drip from my forehead from the energy it was taking me to fight this dream form overcoming me.

"I said look at me!" Screamed tom and he raised his arm to my head and forced it to twist his direction. I looked at the Tom Riddle in a black cloak.

"Elizabeth-" Harry said shaking me.

"Focus!" I screamed to myself and again I shut down the dream for a while.

"Get her up to your room!" Said Hermione and I felt myself being guided up stairs.

"Damn you! Damn you!" I managed to scream though my mouth was being forced shut.

"Listen to me!" Screamed Tom. His eyes had been red this whole night. The room around me was materializing. It was not a room at all...

"Elizabeth are you okay?" Harry asked me. I sat on a four poster bed in his room shaking crazily with sweat dripping down my face.

"I can't!" I screamed.

"You can do it Elizabeth-" Harry said grabbing my shoulders. I caught a quick glimpse of his eyes and as I sunk back into the memory...

"ARGGHHHH!" I screamed as pain shot through me.

"You'll think twice before you try to disobey me again!" He said....

"I did it!" I screamed after a minute of the world around me materializing.

"Are you okay?" Asked Harry.

"I'm perfect- Harry I did it!" I screamed happily as I removed his hands from my shoulders. I had sweat dripping from my forehead and was drenched in it.  I was still shaking but smiling.

"Are you sure your okay?" Asked Hermione.

"Guys, I got rid of the-" I said as I stood up. My legs shook.

"The what?" Asked Hermione examining me cautiously.

"The dream/memory!" I said happily.

"Good-" said Harry. Ron suddenly came into the dormitory.

"Well, I think I'll go to bed-" said Hermione briskly and she walked out of the room.

"I'd better go to... It's a lot of effort," I said gesturing to my head.

"Yeah, okay. Are you sure your okay?" Asked Harry as I slowly walked to the door.

"Fine, better actually. Goodnight Harry," I said and I hugged him then started walking back to the door before turning back towards Ron and waving. " 'night Ron," and I got into my room.
