Secrets In The Castle

7) Delerium

Hogwarts Castle
(One Month Later)

3rd Person P.O.V- Flashes of fiery locks swirl in the air giving a rather dramatic backdrop to vibrant green that stare dazedly as crimson pools staining delicate alabaster flesh.

Luna- Sitting up in panic, tangled in my sheets.

Pansy- Being a light sleeper, I sit up and find Luna in distress. (Whispers) "Luna?" Immediately getting to my feet, I quickly cross the room to her bed and kneel beside her.

Luna- Glancing at the other girl in utter horror. (Whimpers) "Need Dante!"

Pansy- We all made fun of Luna as she's a bit out there, but Dante always knew what she was on about and we trusted him, so we trusted her. (Nods) "Alright, come on." Helping her to her shaky feet, I sneak her from the girls dorms to the boys.

Slytherin Boys Dormitory

Draco- There is a knock at our bedroom door before it's opened, by Pansy no-less. I expected there to be some complaints from the other first year boys considering the time, but after a harsh look from Dante they all went back to bed.

Harry- Quickly getting up, I help Pansy bring Luna into the room and over to Dante's bed. "What happened?"

Pansy- (Shakes Head) "I woke up to find her like this, she asked for you Dante."

Dante- Having set aside my book just in time as Luna collapsed into my bed, I immediately pull her into arms. "Tell me Star, what did you see?" I run my fingers through her hair in a soothing manor.

Luna- Laying across the top of my brother, clinging to him. (Cries) "Fiery hair and vibrant green eyes." Pausing briefly to get ahold of myself. "Blood, lots of blood."

Harry- (Frowns Deeply) "Aunt Mavis?"

Dante- (Shakes Head) "Mom and Aunt Lily both were killed by the Killer Curse."

Pansy- We all share mirrored looks of confusion. "Killer Curse?"

Harry- (Hums Softly) "It's what Uncle's Remus and Sirius call it. It's one of the three unforgivable's."

Pansy- Looking down sadly. "Oh, sorry for asking."

Dante- Waving it off. "It's fine."

Draco- Realizing that if it's not either of their mothers, who share those physical traits. "If it's not family, who is it?"

Harry- Staring at Dante wide-eyed. "That's a good question...Luna, can you give us anymore clues?"

Luna- Rubbing at my stinging eyes. "Girl, our age. Someone you'll fall hopelessly in love with."

Draco- Looking between my cousins amused and a little freaked out. "Did she just predict the death of a future wife?"

Dante- (Shakes Head) I don't even bother to dignify that with an answer. "Star, can you tell me who the girl is?"

Luna- (Smiles Lightly) "You know I can't."

Dante- (Sighs Heavily) "Alright, can you at least tell us which one of us is going to get her?"

Luna- (Shakes Head) "No."

Harry- "You can't tell us anything?"

Luna- (Mumbles) "I'm sorry."

Draco- (Laughs)
