Our dreams..

A world in which we hide.. A home..

A sanctuary..

But is it possible to find ourselves suspended between dream and reality..

Things that can only happen in dreams we see right before us..

Tangible..

I turned off my laptop sighing in boredom. Another day goes by with me staring at the same old screen.

I got up, picked up a book and lied down on my bed.

School starts in less than a week. I'll go back to studying, doing homework and being tired all the time.

Suddenly, the door was swung open in the most startling manner, without being knocked on..

I got up to see this tactless person but got a major shock instead.

Standing in front of me was Seamus Finnigan, from the famous Harry Potter series, flesh, blood and bones. Behind him stood Percy Weasley, admiring my room.

So Hogwarts is.. REAL!

I remained frozen until the two boys' eyes landed on me.

"Oh, you must come with us!" said Seamus, treading across my room to grab my arm and drag me away.

I was amazed at my ability to walk after such a shock!

"Who's this?" Seamus asked me pointing at Percy while descending from the stairs.

Doesn't he recognize the guy with whom he came?

"Er... This is Percy... Percy Weasley?" I answered giving him a funny look.

"Weasley... He's one of us!" he muttered to himself while continuing to descend the stairs.

"What does he mean by my being one of you?" Percy, who was apparently listening attentively, asked me.

"Means you're a wizard, not a muggle." I answered abruptly, I never liked his character in the books.

Hold on!

I jumped the remaining steps yelling in joy "YES! I'm answering questions instead of asking them; take that, Harry Potter!"

We got to the garden on our way to the front gate.

"Are we using brooms or a portkey?" I asked Seamus, walking beside him (a portkey is an object which transfers you from one place to another)

"We're walking." He smiled and continued walking, leaving to stare at the back of his head like he'd just told me the sun is frozen.

Just then, realization hit me, and it hit me hard. We are definitely being watched! I mean Death Eaters are all over the place these days and nothing can stop them from being in Saudi Arabia!

"Come on Percy, let's find Lily's coat" Percy exclaimed looking around our garden... I knew then he was screwed up in the head.

Plus, what does he mean? I looked down at myself to see a coat covering me even though it's the middle of summer.

I lifted my head to see two coats identical to mine hanging down from the bushes a few meters away, orange and violet.

"Which one is the portkey" I whispered to Seamus from the side of my mouth, fearing a Death Eater might read my lips.

"The orange one." he answered continuing to pretend to search. We inched to the coat and jumped on it! I accidentally let go of the coat but remained, somehow, attached to it by my thumb. The portkey teleported us to a place that looked like plains, or a huge park.

Hogwarts grounds!

Perhaps Dumbledore prepared an access point for us.. You can't simply portkey your way into Hogwarts.. A loyal Harry Potter reader like me knows that!

As soon as we got up from our fall, -and for a reason I shall never know- I stood there, facing the horizon with my back to the two boys. I yelled at the top of my lungs, anger clouding my mind:

"WHY SEAMUS FINNIGAN? WHY DIDN'T OLIVER WOOD SHOW UP INSTEAD?"

At that moment, I opened my eyes to stare at the ceiling of my room. I sat up right on my bed waiting for things to sink in. Once they did, I wished I could go back to my dream, grab Seamus by his hair to throw him out, and put Oliver in his place.

This story was an actual dream I had xD! (the things you see in your sleep :P)

My subconscious' taste stinks .. Couldn't do better than Seamus and Percy?

One of my friends told me to write it down, so here we are :P!

Cheers!
