No one knows.
Not the teachers or students.
No one. Except us.
I highly doubt that people will actually think of this as real. It will just be a dream or nightmare in some people's cases. Harry and Ron would hate that we're hanging out with a Slytherin. They would hate that I am friends with a girl that is the complete opposite to me and Ginny. They would hate that I didn't tell them anything. But, in all honesty, I don't care what they would think of me. They're my friends who know my secrets and I know theirs.
Luna gets upset that people are mean to her but she doesn't let it show. She knows that I am not always a bookworm. I can be a rule breaker and the teachers know that but no one notices if I get detention as they would think that I'm studying late in the Library.
Ginny likes that Ron can be protective as it shows that her brothers care about her but she hates that he thinks he knows what's best for her but doesn't know her likes and dislikes. Ginny knows that I know about fashion and that my wardrobe is full of designer stuff.
Lavender is actually very smart but hates when people think that she is just a dumb blonde that cheats on her tests and think she's a slut. She knows that I hate when Ron and Harry use me for homework and think that I know everything.
Pansy actually doesn't like being a pureblood. She hates it with a passion. She doesn't despise muggleborns like me, she wants to be able to hang out with who ever she wants and eat like a pig instead of a lady. She knows that I hate that people think that I'm a good girl and she knows that I hated my parents cause they treated me like a bomb, that if they did something I didn't like that I was going to use my magic on them.
No one know what we're really like. But that's going to change. Soemething has happened but we don't know the exact details. Lavender is missing. And Luna thinks she heard as scream.
The present
I wake up in cold sweat. I had the same nightmare again. The night Lavender went missing. I look towards her old bed and let a tear roll down my face. All of it was one year ago. "Where are you Lav?" I whisper to myself. I slowly and quietly get out of bed and make my way to my wardrobe to get my clothes out and go to the shower.
An hour later
I'm all dressed and I make my way to the Great Hall only to find that Pansy, Ginny and Luna are the only students in there. I make my way over to Ginny and sit opposite and give her a small smile as she looks up from her plate full of food.
"I'm pretty sure that you're a Weasley who eats food like the rest of your family with a bit more manners though." I tell her making smile a bit more. "Maybe I'm just not hungry." She says to me quietly. "It's been a year." I give her a sad smile "I know. I had the nightmare again." "Same. But I don't think that it was just us." She whispers to me.
I gave a sigh and ask "What do you think happened?" She hesitates for a moment before answering "I think someone killed her and buried her body." We're lucky that the teachers are busy talking to eachother than listening to our conversation. "Do you think anyone knows that we were with her when she disappeared?"
"We've been over this a million times. If we just stick to the story we made it will be fine. It's worked for the past year. She wasn't in the dorm when I woke up and she wasn't in lessons the whole day. When I noticed this I told a teacher and there was a search party for the whole week. She was never found and she officially became a missing person. We weren't friends with her or Pansy. I wasn't friend's with Luna. We became friends through Ron." I repeat the statement that we told that day. We glance towards the teachers table to see if anyone was listening. Snape is talking to Professors Mcgonagall and Dumbledore. Remus is talking to Sirius and Hagrid is probably doing his gatekeeper duties.
"Mione, what if the person who took or killed Lavender is still out there and is coming for us." "Gin, you're overreacting. Don't you think we'd be taken by now? Listen, I have to get to the Library and if it will make you feel better, I'll watch my back. Ok?" Ginny nods and I go off to the Library.
I'm walking down the hallway to the Library and I feel as though someone is watching me. I turn around and Pansy is behind me. "Are you trying to scare me?" I snap humorously. "Sorry. But what were you and Gin talking about?" "Not here!" I grab her arm and lead her to an empty classroom. I quickly check is anyone is outside in the hall until shutting the door and place a silencing spell on the room.
"I had the nightmare. The one where Lav went missing. I told Gin and she noticed that you and Luna looked like you guys had the same thing." Pansy nods. "Gin started to become paranoid about someone knowing that we were there that night and I told her that if we still stick to the story, no one will know." The look on Pansy's face tells me that she thinks the same as Ginny. "She also asked me if the person who took or killed Lav is still out there." "Mione, they haven't been caught yet. What if they're just playing with us? Pick us off year by year and we have to guess whose next like a cruel game." I have to admit that Pansy's logic makes sense. "Why us?" "Revenge or hatred. But it can't be anyone at this school because no one knows that we're friends."
As I'm about to speak, the door opens and reveals Sirius and Remus. "Professors Black and Lupin." Pansy and I speak simultaneously. "What's going on in here Miss Parkinson?" Remus asks. "Nothing sir. I was just leaving." And with that being said, she leaves and gives me a 'Don't tell' look. "Kitten? What happened?" Sirius looks worriedly at me and I start to wish I could tell the both of them. But I made a promise. "Nothing I couldn't handle. Don't worry so much. You'll both get wrinkles." I laugh and leave the room to go to the Library.
I walk through the door and find Luna with a book open in front of her and tears going down her face like a river of sadness. As I approach her, I notice that the book she was reading isn't a book but a photo album. "You're not the only one who misses her. I cried when I looked at her bed earlier." She gives me a watery smile as I start to sit down. "She was our best friend. Why would someone take her?" Just looking at Luna's face was enough for me to start crying the way I did during the week of the search party. "I... I don't know but...if... if I think about it then my brain would come up with some horrible scenarios." Luna hugs me tightly and I can't help but do the same to her.
I don't know how long we were sat there for but I'm fresh out of tears but I do feel better. "Thank you for staying with me Mya." Luna says in a soft voice. "To be honest. I think I needed this." I let out a small giggle and so does she.
