- the whip was inches away from me , looking at it with terrified eyes "you like the pain don't you " he questioned over me , my arms were tied to chains above me head , my knees on the hard , cold , wet ground . My face was facing down , I couldn't move - I don't know if it was because I was exhausted or because of fear

"I don't like it when you don't answer me love " he said trailing my spine with his finger tip , I couldn't speak - I just couldn't, I screamed but nothing came out , as if my voice was completely gone , never existed

He shook his head in a disappointing manner " i thought you were clever .. Guess you proved me wrong " with that he bought the whip up into the air , seconds went by , perhaps minutes when I heard nothing ... all I could do was wait , wait for the torture to begin

In less than a heart beat - he bought the whip down on my bare skin , the pain went through me like shocks of lightning through my body .. I remained silent knowing what happens when you scream - suddenly the whip that lay on me started burning into my skin , smoke erupted , green was all I could see -- the pain unbearable... I screamed -

I woke up . Panting . breathing heavily - gasping for air - I was so struck with fear from my nightmare ... Dark hidden memories is the correct word to describe them - they're hauntings of my past , trying to ruin my live now , break my mind .
I couldn't think properly, I was so focused on the voice that was mocking me in my head , I knew who it was - i didn't believe it , my mind was playing tricks on me - it wouldn't make sense. How . Why . - questions going through my mind
I couldn't take it anymore, the horrid dreams , they must mean something - there must be a reason why they're happening , now of all times - they're so vivid like I'm going through it again , facing it once more

I looked around my room trying to find something to comfort me , yet nothing came - the dark shadows laughing , closing in on me .. Causing my imagination to run wild with endless opportunities of fear - as if my ever growing fear fed off the darkness
Feeling uncomfortable, getting up and grabbing my cloak , I saw eyes watching me from the bathroom sink . The hairs on the back of my neck stood up , I walked backwards not taking my eyes off the ones looking at me , I knocked into my bed , reality hitting - helping me get out of my daze like trance - I ran as fast as i could to my door , looking behind me seeing if I was being followed - the door was locked . I cursed under my breath , breathing heavily I fumbled with the lock , my fear growing every time I looked behind me
Tears running down my face , I finally managed to open it - not looking back I ran . I didn't feel safe anywhere - all I kept on seeing were those green eyes staring back into my pupils with pure hatred , enjoying my panic

Before I left I glanced at Severus' door - tears began to run , faster and more heavier as I ran down passageways - I didn't know where I was going , looking for nowhere in specific , a comfortable place ... Reality hit me -

Nowhere is my home

Stopping , thinking over my new discovery - I made it such a big thing in my life that Hogwarts will be my new home - overlooking the flaws , overlooking the fact that I'm unwelcome here - I wasn't part of the staff , nor will I ever be .. even the Beauxbatons girls were more welcomed here than I was
As if a tap was turned on inside my eyes , my emotions got the better of me - I leaned against the closest wall for support , I felt week , all my energy was drained - trying to find as little comfort as I can i slid down to the floor - putting my head on my knees , defeated - I let all my emotions out , crying out all my hidden hurts , including the pain that was manifesting inside my soul

I sat there for a long time , going over my dreams and trying to puzzle them together, I was still sulking silently to myself when someone sat next to me - holding me for support. I didn't tense from the contact , in fact I relaxed into the warm embrace of the figure, too weak to fight against, I melted into them - hugging from the side , I need someone to be there for me , I've never broken down like this , but thank full nonetheless
