"It wasn't an accident..." The snakelike voice hissed.
"Your parents death wasn't an accident"
"I require the wand you possess"
"Or you shall die.."

You wake up with heavy breaths. Sweats dripping down your body from head to toe. That voice was so unfamiliar yet so, unforgettable.

You take a sip of your water on your nightstand and push your hair out of your face. Still dripping with sweat, you try to wipe it away with your palms, but it's just too sticky to handle. Sighing, you make your way to the bathroom to have a shower and freshen up. Glancing at the clock you notice that you only have 3 hours until you must aboard the Hogwarts Express.

You stand under the water, shaken up from the vivid dream you just had. You were terrified, but you knew exactly who the person you had to talk to was.

"Potter" You walk into his compartment on the train and see the golden trio munching away on chocolate frogs.

"L/N?" Granger looked at you confusingly.

"I need to speak to Potter alone please."

The two look at Harry and he nods his head. Hermoine and Ron give you a small sneer as the walk out of the compartment. You sit across from Harry.

"Can I help you?" His voice laced with venom.

You sigh and bite your lip trying not to lose your cool.

"How often do you have nightmares about Voldemort?"

Harry looks at you with a shocked expression at the fact that you used his name. You weren't afraid of Voldemort, just afraid of what he is capable of.

"Often enough. Did you dream of him?" His expression softens a little as he realises that you are not here to attack him.

"Last night. He said he would kill me, just like he killed my parents."

Harry gives you a look of sympathy. He knows first hand what you are going through. In that moment you finally put your differences aside. Harry is just a boy who is haunted by the darkest wizard of all time. Except now you are on his hit list too.

"You just have to be strong L/N. I know it's hard, but Voldemort is weak right now. Take this chance to get strong while he's still down." Harry gives you a small reassuring smile. A smile saying everything will be okay.

Ron and Hermoine walk back in and you clear your throat.

"Mention this to anyone and i'll hex you Potter." You turn your heal and walk back to your own compartment with the other Slytherins. Of course you wouldn't actually hex him, but you had to keep your reputation up. Harry probably knows this too.

When you return to the others, you see Pansy cozying up to Draco. You almost puke at the sight infront of you, but instead you simply sit aside and ignore it the best you can.

"But Draaayyyyy" Pansy's voice trails.

"No Pansy" His tone is harsh.

Pansy huffs and glares at you. "Can I help you?"

Annoyance clouds your judgement. Exhausted and full of emotions, you snap.

"Get off of him you whore, can't you see that he's not into you? Stop harassing him and get a grip of yourself." You are shocked at the words that came out of your own mouth, but you have wanted to say that for what feels like forever.

Everyone looks at you with wide eyes and mouths gaping. Everyone but Draco. He quickly regains his exposure and his shocked expression turns into a smirk as he looks out the window.
