Prologue
Rose ran down the corridor on the way back to the Ravenclaw commons room. She could feel beads of sweat trickling down her temple.
She was absolutely terrified. That… thing it was coming for her. She had never seen anything like it: a cloud of pure black that seemed to radiate a feeling of evil.
She began panting. The portrait outside the dormitory was just down the hall, but it seemed to move further and further away. She turned to look over her shoulder just in time to see the thing turn the corner. Her heart pounded even harder and she screamed.
She was so close to the portrait! A few more steps…
Before she could reach the portrait the thing wrapped its smokey fingers around her legs and pulled her back. She clawed at the floor to no avail.
She shrieked one last time before the dark cloud consumed her.
Rose Weasley jerked awake, gasping for air. She was covered in a thin sheen of sweat and tears streamed down her face.
"It was just a dream." She whispered cradling her head in her hands.
Rose was not unaccustomed to nightmares. They occurred every once in a while. Many people, her parents included would pass this one off as night before school jitters. However, for the past year something strange had been happening with her dreams. At least once a week she would have an incredibly vivid dream. The next morning she would always remember every detail. She kept her dreams a secret.
Because Rose's dreams nearly always came true.
