Sleep walking. Something which I never voluntarily wish to do. It always leads me into trouble.

When I wake up, I find myself walking up to the Ravenclaw Tower. I really feel very awkward when I wake up after sleep walking. Once, at home, I went to bed in my room and ended up finding myself lying out side my neighbour's doorstep in the morning.

But this is something different. I have walked right from the slytherin common room to the Ravenclaw tower.

I wake up banging my head into a pillar near a window . Ow, that hurt.

The wind is quite cool tonight. I stand by the window, when suddenly, I hear cries of pain coming from below.

The sky looks dark, with a full moon shining bright. On looking down from the window , I see a man, curled up on the ground, with his hand on his stomach. There is another person next to him.
The man suddenly looks up. A voice in my head says alert.

I run down the corridor and to the quidditch ground. I hide behind one of the stands. I just hope that I'm not sleep walking or dreaming again.

The person I see in front of me is a boy, mostly of my age, although his back is facing me. The man beside him his none other than Snape. No longer in pain, but with his left hand on his stomach, and wand in his right hand, he stands up.

He points his wand at the boy. And before I can scream, he shouts, "Avada kedavra".

The spell hits the boy, flat in the chest and as he falls to the ground, I see the light slowly leave his eyes.

And I scream when I look at his face, Tom Marvolo Riddle. Snape looks at me like I'm some kind of ghost. "What are you doing here?" He asks slowly.

"You killed him" I cry out, "you killed him!"

"Go back to your dormitory Prince, or I'll be forced to wipe off your memory." He advises.

But, I was resolute. "How dare you do this, you murderer? You should be sent to Azkaban for this! Y...you cheat."

"Its was necessary."

"No, it was unfair"

"Don't fall into this Eileen! It is none of your business."

"Actually, it is my business. A student of My school is killed in front of My eyes and you...you expect Me n...not to talk about it?"

"Listen to me, please."

"I trusted you, you foul headed creature. I will... I will..." I see red. I draw out my wand and point it at Snape. But I am astonished to see him putting in his wand.

"You can punish me, abuse me all that you like, later," he says calmly. Then, looking around, he says, "Right now, I've got to find Riddle."
