Lilliana Snape (Book 6)

Part 5

I woke up and was jolted out of a particularly intense, bizarre, dream so suddenly that I was more than a little confused.

Looking around, I noted that I was in my bed, in the girl’s dormitory, at Hogwarts; Pictures of three beautiful babies and my friends were stuck to the wall above the head of my bed, along with a couple of revision notes.

“Are you ok?” A voice to my left asked.

“Hermione” I frowned, still trying to shake off the dream “what day is this?”

“September the second” she replied “why?”

“I had a really weird dream which left me a bit confused” I sighed.

“Well, you need to hurry up if you want to catch breakfast so you can tell me about it whilst you’re getting ready.”

“Basically” I sighed as I got out of bed and starting hunting down my uniform “I got cursed by Draco and forgot about everyone, including the triplets and all of you were trying to help me to remember.” I shook my head and sighed again “it made me feel really strange.”

“So he cast the memory spell on you” she asked “the same one Lockhart cast on himself?”

I nodded “yeah but it wasn’t as strong; I forgot about the people I knew but I remembered that I was a witch and attended Hogwarts. Strange, right?”

Hermione smiled, nodding at me “yeah but at least it was just a dream, could you imagine if that really happened?”

“I don’t want to” I grimaced, pulling on my socks “it felt so real; I can still remember feeling confused when Fred gave me one of the babies to hold. It felt as though I was living someone else’s life.”

“Do you reckon it’s because Draco tried to curse you?” She asked, leading the way out to the stairs and started down them. “You know, when he found you eavesdropping outside the shop?”

“Bit of a delayed reaction if it is” I replied. “That reminds me though; I still need to get him back for that!”

“Merlin, Lilly, don’t do anything stupid.” Hermione sighed.

“Who do you think I am?” I scowled at her “the most I have to do is vomit down him, he’ll leave me alone for a good few terms; that’s what happened last year anyway.”

“Who are you going to vomit down and why?” Harry asked as we joined them at the portrait hole.

“Malfoy” I told him “to get him to leave me alone.”

“We could always set Ginny and her bat bogey hex on him” he grinned “I’m sure that’ll work just as well but then there’s nothing like chundering down your favourite twin brother, is there?”

“Definitely not” I grinned “the look on his face is always priceless. Anyway” I looked round at Hermione and Ron “do any of you know who’s Defence teacher this year?”
