She whipped around her hair blinding her vision as she bolted through the web of trees. Her breathing was rapid and her bare cold feet kept stumbling over each. But she had to get away, she could feel the vines of ivory chasing after her. She continuously turned back but the air was too hazy and so she ran faster and faster until her feet began to feel warmer than she had done in the last 3 months, she began panting and paused, bending over and placing her hands on knees taking in rapid shallow breaths. The silence was eerie apart from the drip of the blood from where the ivory had dug in and then she heard his shrill scream calling out for her. Her blood began to race and she began to run about in circles desperately screeching out to him “CEDRIC !!!!”
“Jane!” “Jane!” she awoke thrashing about as Ginny and Maeve crowded around her bed with absolute terror on their faces. Her own fear paralysed her and she sat up nervously not making eye contact with the two girls as well as the other girls in her room who were giving her weird and suspicious glances between muttering to each other. Ginny sent them all a harsh glare before turning back to Jane and saying quietly “What happened ? Where you having a nightmare or something ?” Jane vigorously scratched the back of her left hand with her right and did not meet their glances “Yeah I guess so, but its nothing.”
“Jane you were writhing in pain, that was not nothing.” Maeve whispered. “Well it was a one off nightmare then alright, everyone gets them.” she said meeting both their eyes for the first time with a harsh glare. “Not like that.” Ginny said quickly with a worrying tone. Jane gulped, she did not want anyone to find out about these nightmares she detested them with all her being but she did not wish for people to think she needed help and it was her one connection left to Cedric and she would never risk losing that for the world. “Alright I’ll admit that it was a little scary and unusual but it was just a nightmare, a figment of my imagination ok ?” Her two best friends exchanged glances with each other before sighing and saying “Yes alright it was just a nightmare, are you going to go back to sleep or do you want us to stay with you?” Jane expressed a small smile and nodded “If you want to stay up with me that would be great, I’m just going to go to the bathroom.” She hurried past the other girls in her dorm giving them all a fierce scowl.
She clutched the side of the sink, her knuckles going white and she stared at herself gob smacked. She looked awful, her cheeks were extremely hollowed in and her face was deadly pale, with her hair sticking up at all angles and a bead of sweat making its way down her cadaverous face. She let out a small tear, sad for what she had become. She shook her head, she would not allow this to beat her but as she looked back into the mirror she cried again for it had already beaten her. She splashed water onto her face, scrubbing away the sweat before tying up her messy hair into a ponytail. The girls spent the rest of the night bitching about Umbridge and giggling about Ginny and Michael’s relationship. The next morning it was Saturday and they awoke to rain and an empty dormitory. Maeve yawned and stretched before asking “Guys where is everyone ? What time is it?” Jane peaked her eyes open and looked at the clock “Midday.”
“Well get up then both of you we’ve got so much homework to do.” Jane and Ginny both groaned outwardly, “Maeve it is a Saturday that is my day of rest.” Jane exclaimed.
“Everyday is your rest day.” Ginny said “When was the last time you actually did your homework ?”she joked. “A couple of days ago I think.” Jane said clambering out of her bed. “But before you force me to do this extremely tedious task can we please go and get some breakfast I’m famished !” she said taking out a grey short sleeved dress.
“Its lunch time.” Maeve sighed. “So no pancakes ?” Jane said faking a pout. “Yep no pancakes.”
“Ugh fine then lets get this over with.” They made their way down to The Great Hall, but as they made their way to the gryffindor table they heard hurried whispers following them to their seats. “What’s going on ?” Maeve asked the other two worriedly. “I have no idea.” Ginny said equally concerned. Jane however noticed how the looks were directed at her and how everyone would turn their eyes away from her when she caught them. “Its me.” Jane sighed, pushing her plate away suddenly put off her food. “Oh the nightmare.” Ginny realised “Bella and Susie must have told everyone.” Maeve nodded as she looked further down the table to see the two girls re-enacting Jane’s actions nights, complete with the writhing in pain. “They’re awful !” Ginny fumed, standing up and walking furiously towards the two other girls, Jane could her defending words from the other end of the hall as could everyone else, all their eyes fixed on Ginny shouting at the two girls “You think its funny being scared of your own mind ! You are both dim witted fools.” While everyone was focused on Ginny, Jane slipped away quickly from the hall, tears brimming at her eyes. She thought no one had seen her leave. However he did and he followed her, wanting nothing more than to hold her and take all her away from this pain, he wanted to be her perfect cure.
