Chosen Song For This Part: Hold Me Down - Halsey
(MIXED: Gabriella and Lex's POV's)
-Gabriella's POV-
Sleep was the most beautiful thing I was looking forward to tonight, I had been studying again after we left the common room this afternoon, It was mentally draining. I didn't understand how Paige and Amber could do it for so long.
Tying my hair up into a bun, I looked in the mirror to make sure I had completely removed all makeup, otherwise, i'd be waking up with panda's eyes. I smoothed out my pyjamas once more, and headed to bed.
Climbing in, I realised just how much warmer my bed was than the room itself. I shivered and buried myself under the wave of warmth. My head touched the pillow and already, I could feel the sleep drifting over me, like calm waves lapping over the sand. Picturing it that way made me actually feel like I was on a beach.
Eventually, my eyes closed and sleep finally washed over my body, I felt myself relax, and just like that, the tension melted away like a hot knife through butter.
-Lex's POV-
I had been laying in bed for what felt like hours now, It was about three hours ago that I even climbed into bed, but sleep wasn't embracing me, not at the moment and probably not for a while. Being that I had become practically best friends with Draco Malfoy himself, I wondered if he was sound asleep or struggling, too. We were both semi-alike and both of us didn't really sleep all that well, a couple of nights we had both snuck out and just walked around talking about things, such as issues he's having with his dad and thing's he wish he could've rewound the time for and changed.
Tossing and turning didn't help my situation at all, part of me wanted to just get up and confront my situation, and the other wanted to wrap a pillow around my head and drown it out, so I tried the second option first.
Pulling the pillow over my head, I held it tightly over my ears. The noise had stopped, but just as quickly had piped back up again, I waited to see if it was just a coincidence or if someone was actually playing a prank on me, and if they were, I was NOT in the best of moods for their games. The noise continued and as far as I was aware, instead of it getting quieter, it just got louder and louder with every passing second.
That was it. I had enough of these stupid little games and decided to uncover my ears. Getting up, I grabbed my wand from the bedside unit and took it with me for back up.
Making my way to the small lounge area in our dorms, I noticed that one of the other bedroom doors in our dorm room was slightly ajar, I knew it had to be at least ONE of the girls in that room. Although I was in Slytherin, it did NOT mean that I absolutely HAD to get on with everyone in my house. I am a very choosy girl when it comes to knowing who's good for me and who is toxic, and trust me, I knew toxic when I saw it.
Walking closer to the door, I was suddenly stopped by a rush of the noises again, and this time, they were crawling into both of my ears. Holding my ears, I fell to the ground and landed on my knees. The noises became so increasingly loud I wondered how exactly my eardrums were surviving such volume. With each of them increasing volume, I got a sudden urge to scream, I held back, it was too late at night to be screaming.
But I needed to.
It was balancing on the tip of my tongue.
And I didn't know how much longer I could hold it in.
-Gabriella's POV-
A blue fire.
Full house tables and Dumbledore
A red flame and a slip of paper with a name written on it.
A champion with a name.
"The Hogwarts Champion, Cedric Diggory"
3 Chosen champions.
One more name.
"Harry Potter?"
4 Chosen champions.
3 Tasks.
A Battle.
2 Unexpected Deaths.
The visions swiped by my eyes like an old cartoon movie, and yet, I couldn't stop them.
It was like I was looking through an unbreakable glass window, and watching this movie. The more I watched, the more I found out. I needed to constantly know whats coming next, even if I wanted it to stop, it wouldn't, It couldn't.
I watched as Cedric and Harry were both laying on grassy ground, surrounded by a growing darkness. A cup of some sort had fallen from Cedric's hands and rolled across the grass. Suddenly, I felt a breeze and my feet became cold, looking down, I realised that I was standing behind them, from a distance, my feet bare. I panned my surroundings and found us to be in
"A Graveyard?" I whispered to myself, just a little too loudly.
Another breeze brushed my skin and my arms had made their way to wrapping themselves around my body, trying to replace some heat. I watched as Harry walked towards a grave, and one he seemed to know. I could hear his breathing get heavier and instantly, a bad feeling washed over me.
He called out to Cedric but it was almost like I had lost my hearing, I could no longer hear the conversation, but only attempt to read Harry's lips. My vision blurred for a split second and when the coat of film passed over, I was now standing near Cedric, who was smiling down at the cup and saying something.
His attention turned away from it when Harry was fast approaching what looked like a cauldron in the middle of the graveyard, I found myself walking subconsciously towards it already, I couldn't stop myself.
I heard a door creak open, and turning around, I saw a silhouette making its way out of the door. Seeing Harry scream out in pain was one of the most terrifying things I saw. The underneath of the cauldron ignited in flames and I watched as Cedric stepped back and went to Harry's aid.
Harry was now kneeling on the floor and ordering Cedric to do something, but I still couldn't make out what had been said, I only saw Cedric head for the cup once again, only to pull out his wand and face the approaching opposer.
The opposer pulled his wand out and suddenly I could hear once more, the only words I heard, were of an unforgivable curse.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!"
The next thing I knew I had been standing in front of Cedric when the curse had shot from the opposers wand, I closed my eyes and waited for it to be over.
Something hit the floor, and for a moment, I thought it was me.
Opening my eyes, I looked down to find myself on my own two feet still, which meant that it had missed me...
And reached Cedric.
Turning around slowly, I felt the tears already starting to fall.
I looked down to find myself hovering over a dead boys body.
"NO!" I Screamed, falling to the ground and once my knees hit, my vision blacked out and I woke up to being shaken.
~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~
"Gabriella"
"GABRIELLA!"
My eyes snapped open and I found myself on my knees in the middle of mine and the other three girls's bedroom. I had been shaken awake by Lyssa and both Paige and Lisa were standing around me in total shock.
"I-" my voice fell to a small whisper.
"I couldn't save him..." I sobbed.
"Who?" Paige asked, "Who couldn't you save?", "Gabriella?"
I knelt there, lost in my thoughts, now with an unforgettable image burned into my brain that kept replaying over and over.
"I have to warn him..." I whispered.
-Lex's POV-
My knee's were starting to ache, and my ears ringing. I couldn't take it anymore. I needed to stop it, it needed to STOP.
Gripping my ears just wasn't doing anything, my arms had fallen asleep and now were falling to my sides, my breathing felt like I had a hand wrapped around my throat, and it was squeezing. I needed to scream, I needed to scream for help. But I knew that it was worth a try to tell it to stop, but I was going to look crazy.
"Stop it." I whispered, looking down at the ground.
"STOP IT" I raised my voice a little louder.
"STOP WHISPERING, STOP !" I screamed.
The scream felt as if it ripped my vocal chords and rattled my brain, my ears now tightening due to the pitch and automatically, I threw my hands over my ears once more. I shut my eyes tightly as the scream continued. The floor began to shake underneath me and I heard crashing and smashing against the floor, I wanted to stop the scream, but I couldn't.
I couldn't control it.
Footsteps came bounding in from behind me and the lights flickered on, but my eyes still remained shut, and the scream still continued to leave my throat. I heard someone try to approach me but only to loose the feeling of them standing near me. I heard a smack against the wall to the right of me and something slid to the floor.
Eventually I screamed til I couldn't scream no more and finally, it stopped.
Lowering my hands, I opened my eyes only to find that they were drooping. I looked around to find Luna and Aubrey staring at me, disbelief and shock written all over their faces. The room had shattered vases and ornaments all over the floor and unexpectedly, my vision began to blur, only for it to turn into darkness.
I felt my body hit the floor, and the darkness just grew darker.
The whispers had stopped, and I had hoped that I had finally, fallen asleep.
