Harry dreamed. He saw his father holding Malfoy close in his arms. He turned and he saw Aunty Petunia and Uncle Vernon cuddling Dudley and patting him on the back looking so proud and happy. When he turned again he saw the Weasley family laughing happily together. Ron gave him a sneer and Ginny was snuggling up to her mother with her back to him. He wanted to join them, find out if Ron was ok, but it was like something was holding him to the spot like superglue. He kept turning and as he did he saw more happy families smiling and showing love for each other. Neville and his grandmother, Hermione and her parents, Seamus and his parents, Luna and her father and other happy families seemed to surround him in the dream. Everywhere he turned there was another family with loving children and parents standing together. They seemed like they belonged together and they were completely ignoring Harry. They all turned to him simultaneously and slowly started pacing towards him holding hands and chanting "not for you…not for you…not for you…not for you…" he watched as they started approaching him all in pace with one another. An unspoken connection seemed to bind the families together in a brilliant golden light yet people started disappearing as they got closer leaving the others to grow together in their stead. Finally it was just the weasleys, the dursleys snape and Malfoy behind, still walking towards him seeming to grow bigger and louder with every step.

He could hear every bitter thought every cruel memory he had of these people.

"Arrogant just like his father," he heard a familiar voice say almost in his ear.

Harry smiled for a second thinking of how funny it was for Snape to say that without even realising the truth.

"what are you grinning at boy," he heard his aunts voice scream

"I'll have you locked up in that cupboard with no meals for a week!" Vernon this time a voice that never failed to send chills right through him.

"Alright there scarhead?" Harry clenched his fists as he heard Malfoys voice echoing so loudly.

A blue light shined in front of him which he saw them step through as they screamed with their hands joined above their heads. Harry could see a single line of golden ribbon shining between them like magic.

"NOT FOR YOU! NOT FOR YOU!"

They roared at him. Their voices echoed within the confines of his mind. Seeming to carry him on a dark cloud where these voices continued to tell him that he was not worthy of this kind of love.

"Stupid freak who would ever want you?" he heard his cousin scream when suddenly the cloud left him in a dark room. He heard Snape speaking calming words which made him feel relaxed and comforted.

"it's alright don't worry I'll protect you"

"you're safe with me son"

Harry smiled and raced towards a light where he thought the voice was coming from. As he approached he noticed that Snape was wrapping his arms around Draco with his hand gently running through his hair. Harry wiped away a tear as he noticed an odd occurrence. Snape seemed to melt into him leaving only Draco in the room! Who morphed into a white rabbit with a little heart on his back leg. The rabbit raced past Harry and out a door.

"Hey come back!" Harry said as he chased after the rabbit which was once his father "dad don't forget me! Please!"

The rabbit disappeared down a rabbit hole and was gone. All was lost and there would be no chance of Harry getting to him. He stood there and cried thinking of all the good times he had shared with Snape and how close he thought they had gotten. How could all of this be wrong? Was he simply pretending to love him? Did he love Draco more and not need him anymore? Why did he leave him with Dumbledore the other day when he could have taken care of him by himself? Maybe he wished Draco was his son instead! As Harry stood and looked at the hole a mass of thoughts surrounding him he noticed the hole suddenly seemed to grow bigger and bigger until it seemed it would fit almost anything inside it. The hole made a sudden sucking sound and pulled him in just like a giant vacuum!

Harry felt he was falling down the hole very quickly at first just like he had when he had jumped into the chamber of secrets after Ginny. Down he started falling and down and down but the way he fell seemed to be slowing to the point where he could look around him at what was in the hole. He noticed that there were bits of furniture and objects flying by, a couch, a flowerpot. He saw Dumbledore and the street lamp whilst he was holding the dimmer he saw the light go out. He noticed Fred and George sitting at a table sipping at tea cups they smiled with mischievous grins. Moaning Myrtle flew past "Hello Harry" she said and giggled flying off before he could say anything.

As Harry slowly found his feet touching the ground the first thing he noticed was that he seemed to be in a giant sized room. The table and chair seemed huge! The only way to leave was a little door which was barely even noticeable at first. Harry looked up wondering if he knew any spells that could be helpful in this situation but nothing came immediately to mind "I can't fly back without my broom" he muttered to himself looking at the door…"so"…he tried to joggle the door a little but it seemed locked.

"Alohomora" he said pointing his wand at the door and he tried again.

Still nothing.

Harry sat down in the corner of the room to have a think about his problem. Laying his head down in his arms he heard his breath slowing down and he blacked out.
