Chapter 13 - Uncommon Dream

Chapter 13

Walking in an empty hall never felt more dreadful as tonight. With the click of her one-inch heel echoing in the hall, Y/N was too lost in her thought to care. 'I can't believe what just happened, and uncle Dax is a wizard after all this time too.' pondered Y/N and she sighs, feeling like a zounderkite for not actually realizing her Uncle's secret after finding herself being a witch.

And not only that but Professor McGonagall knows –well, could possible know –what happened between her and him, Y/N's biological parent –the woman wasn't really specific at what she said about knowing so there's a chance that Megan didn't share everything to Minerva, Y/N do hope that her mother didn't.

Y/N refuses to call him 'father' for he doesn't have that right anymore, always just 'he' or 'him' after he was finally gone out of her life. She shudders though, at that recounting some part of her life but put her thinking in a halt when she hears a voice echo along with her heel. She stops walking and listened closely.

"Come on closer, let me feast on you." It chanted and a sound of metal clanging followed.

Quickly, Y/N was alarmed. She knew that voice; it was the same one before they caught Mrs. Norris petrified! She marked that sound in her mind so Y/N was sure she's not mistaking. Hurriedly, close to the wall, she followed the trail of the metallic sound, which she guesses to be inside the walls.

Taking a turn then, she caught sight of someone on the hall, long redhead and the same height as her, ahead of her, taking a turn. Y/N rushed to catch up with her, calling out "Ginny?" but as Y/N was reaching the end of the hall to take a turn herself, it was somebody else that Y/N encounters in the hall.

A black-haired girl was rushing in the hall, footsteps echoing, and she stops when they meet eye-to-eye. Ella Nelson's face, who was looking highly worried, was blank at first. Ella squint her eyes and finally, sure that her eyes weren't seeing illusion, tackled Y/N, gasping her name "Y/N!" as she hugged her. "Oh thank Merlin's beard, I was looking everywhere for you!"

"Ella?" Y/N frowned while stunned; she was certain who she saw was a redhead a moment ago. "What are you doing here?"

"I should ask you the same thing, N/N," countered the worried Hufflepuff, "you weren't in G. Hall on dinner and Nathan, with Hermione, comes barging in asking if anyone saw you. They got a group of people searching everywhere for you, N/N. We were so afraid that it got you too." Ella didn't hesitate to pull the girl into another hug and she holds Y/N tighter than the previous.

Ella dropped everything she was doing when she heard the two Gryffindor gather Ronald Weasley, Harry Potter, and Katie Bell, who volunteer with her other two friend, and the Weasley Twin, and the Prefect boy, Percy, to huddle up the plan to search for her friend. Ella went alone and was thankful she was the one to succeed among the Gryffindor. If anything happened to Y/N, she knew her sister would be the most devastated among them.

"Umm; hey," Y/N sighs, returning the embrace, "I'm sorry for making you worry, El. I was with Professor McGonagall the whole time and we got into deep in our conversation that we didn't really realize the time passing by and she decided that it'll be better to eat with her before I pardon myself."

Ella lessens her grip to give the young girl a room to breathe but didn't yet let go of the younger Hufflepuff fully. Y/N was telling the truth, it seems, since the Head of the Gryffindor House was absence in supper. "Okay," she nodded, easing away, "at least you're okay."

Y/N nodded "I am, really." hoping that she assured her friend. "Hey, did you saw someone else pass by here?"

"What?" Ella inquired as she tilts her head a bit.
