Y/n pov

You woke up to a nightmare and found yourself on the floor still, you jumped and yelled, the last thing you remembered was Voldemort yelling 'Crucio!' You couldn't stop shaking, you felt like hot knifes were pricking you, you shouldn't be this effected by a nightmare. You tell yourself.

You picked yourself up letting the feeling sink away. You decided if you weren't going to sleep you were going to explore.

You found the painting that Kathy told you about and took it down, there was a door, you followed it your wand out and when you entered it was a dark room. You lit the candles and the room was a lair, it had Death Eater robes, papers of harry and you, the ritual for how to bring Voldemort back, the Polyjuice potion, she must've been helping here all along, was she even at her friends of here all summer? Or with Voldemort? You growled and smashed your already raw fist on the table. Something fell to the ground and you picked it up, it was a list, a kill list maybe. Your father was crossed off and your mother was stared, Snape, Karkaroff, Crouch jr, Bellatrix, Wormtail... these were names of Death Eaters... but why was your father and mother up there? You looked down and saw Your name, Sirius and Harry's, you saw Lucius's name, he list went on and didn't know what this was for. You turned it over and it had a quick note written in your sisters hand writing 'Important names - must remember.' You noticed how only your fathers name was crossed off, maybe that meant your mother was still alive... or Kathy didn't have time... either way she had to be here after the tournament in order to do this. You put down the note. And looked around, you found her old wand which was birch would 11" with unicorn hair core, it wasn't Ollivander, it was less smooth and went in a spiral towards the tip. You touched it feeling heartbroken. You threw it on the table looking at the room what was this before? You thought. Just as you asked a navy curtain fell making you jump, you coughed from the dust but once it was gone you could see a name.

"Meri-" You noticed it was a gold, you brushed your fingers on it revealing more letters, you did it more and more until all the dust was cleared. "Property of Merlin the great. those who enter will see their next steps, those who enter with dark spirit in mind shall see their downfall." You dusted it open and it was a cabinet, so naturally you entered and felt the doors shut behind you, you tried to re-open them but it wouldn't open. You attempted to push it open but it wouldn't budge, a slivery smoke ended up being let down on you and you fell into an odd slumber.

You saw yourself making targets, you watched yourself shooting arrows, knives, punching the wood and practicing magic without a wand to prepare for Voldemorts attacks, you gasped and looked around you were out of the cabinet, you looked at the engraving again. "On Merlin, if this is what you say I should do I will." You tell the cabinet. You pause... you know you should question if she hexed it but you just felt something burning inside you telling you this is what you had to do.

So you did. You took out your hate your anger on the dummies and wood from broken tables or walls and you managed to take care of a few things on your own. You thanks to the help of the centaurs became a master at throwing knifes you only missed one shot and it still hit the target just off where you were hoping by an inch.

The next day you returned to the room and began to clean, you were drawn to it. You removed the painting entirely and behind it read, Merlins Chambers... did Merlin stay in this house before you? You gawked at it before leaving it alone. You had made targets and knifes you were throwing them while thinking about your sister, tears streaming down your face and a light glow of anger radiating off your body. You grabbed some arrows and your makeshift bow and turned around to your next timed target firing, you then heard a latch come down and a sharp piece of wood shot towards you. You weren't fast enough and put your hands up attempting to not get hit... you felt nothing, when you opened your eyes you saw the wood was a charred stick now floating a foot in front of you glowing f/c. You tilted your head in confusion making some of your h/c hair fall in your face, you stepped aside and put your hands down you watched the stick drop... how? You decided to grab a snack after training and almost trampled the house elf that you forgot was there.
