A Letter 2 Years Late

Chapter 13 - Dreams Can Hold The Truth

It was pitch black. I couldn't see a thing and I didn't even know where I was. Suddenly I heard a loud woosh, the sound of when someone apparated. Instincts kicked in and I ran. I ran and ran hoping I would not be caught by whoever, but I didn't know where I was going. Until I stopped in front of a house. The lights flickered on and the front door was ajar. It looked as if someone had broken in.

I took a step closer and crept into the house. Everything was silent. I tiptoed towards the stairs but was stopped dead in my tracks when distinct shouting could be heard. Curiosity taking over, I bounded up the stairs and ran up to the door where the noise was coming from.

"They suspect us. It won't be long until we're caught!" A distressed female voice shouted.

"Are you saying you regret helping the dark lord?" An angry male growled.

"No. I'm saying I don't want to be sentenced to Azkaban and finally be caught for all our doings not just for helping him."

"They won't know. We'll only be arrested for being a death eater."

"And what about our baby? She's barely a year old!"

"Tressa San Clare Bae," the male's voice had suddenly gotten soft when he said those words. "You will grow up to be a wonderful girl, unlike your father and mother. I'm sorry we aren't going to be there to watch you grow into a beautiful, smart, amazing person I know you will become. Don't grow up asking about us. Please, it's for the best."

He was whispering now. I knew without seeing that he was holding his only child while saying those words, even if he knew that she would not understand.

I was startled awake by the sound of crashing. I groaned sitting upright to see Rose still fast asleep. She really could sleep through anything. I looked over at the giant pile of blankets Kaitlin and Karen had made to sleep on the floor. Lo and behold, they weren't there. Of course they would be up early in the morning for a prank.

Suddenly, bits of the dream I had last night came rushing back to me. I remember a male and a female voice and a baby. A baby named Tressa San Clare Bae. Me. I smiled now that I knew I had middle names and what they were. But then I remembered the conversation the two mysterious people had. Death eaters... They were Voldermort's followers... Was my dream real?

I didn't have much time to dwell on my dream any longer as Karen came rushing in yelling at me to help her hide.

"What did you do this time?" I grumbled, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

"Uhhh you do not want to know... just... um... don't be surprised if your boyfriend is a teeny bit moody." Karen said nervously.

I rolled my eyes and groaned. Of course,  typical Karen and Kaitlin. Now they've started war in this house and I may not get out of this alive. I think I'll call them the demons twins from now on...

I quickly got changed and got cleaned up before making my way down to the kitchen where I found Hugo sitting with a bowl of cereal in front of him and Fred grumbling at his plate of pancakes. I gave him a quick peck on the cheek and sat beside him.

"Morning grumpy." I joked.

"Hmm morning." He replied, absent minded.

I shook my head and accepted the plate of pancakes from Mrs Hermione.
