Shadows and Dreamscapes

Chapter 1

Dream Boys

I walked slowly down the dark corridor, my ponytail bouncing slightly. The corridor's walls were covered in sleeping pictures. I pulled on the sleeves of my flannel pajamas as splashes of cold air passed through me. I checked behind me to see if I was alone, and I was. The corridor behind me was empty and dark. Sighing heavily, I closed my eyes and turned back around. I was paranoid. There was nothing behind me. I opened my eyes and started walking once again, but I felt a pair of strong arms pull me back. A hand covered my mouth before I could scream for help.

"I won't hurt you Weasley." The familiar voice calmed me. Glancing down, I noticed the skin tone of the person holding me. It was … pale, extremely pale. The hand fell from my mouth and rested on my hip in an intimate way. I tried to swallow as I felt his lips press against a spot directly underneath my ear. Then his other arm loosened as well, allowing me to turn around and face him. Looking up I saw it was …

The annoying alarm clock that my little brother bought me for Christmas years ago woke me from my dream. Opening my eyes I huffed out a sigh. The damn clock woke me before I saw who the guy was. Reaching over my hand pushed the button clumsily. The annoying beeping stopped and I sat up, taking a look around the room. The red curtains hid the sunlight threatening to wake the rest of my roommates. My best friends were both asleep, lying in their beds on either side of me. Vivian, or Vee as we called her was on my right. She was entirely hidden beneath the covers, so no one saw her messy head of short brunette hair. Vee prides herself on the Zelda cut that she does by herself, amazingly. She plays on the Quidditch team with many of my cousins, meaning she is also friends with them as well. Like me she has only one brother, but unlike Hugo her older brother, Paul is her twin. At the sorting in first year the pair was separated. Vee got sorted into Gryffindor while Paul went to Slytherin. Surprisingly, for looking almost identically the same they are completely different. Vee is patient and shy while Paul is loud and has a violent anger management problem.

To my left was Claire. Her blonde hair was positioned like an elegant crown around her head. She was the perfect girl: smart, funny, and pretty. She was loved by everyone who saw her. Other girls wanted to be her and all of the boys wanted to be with her. You are probably picturing her as this girly girl who hates bugs and loves clothes and gossip. Well you are close. She hates centipedes, but other bugs are okay to her and she can talk nonstop for hours about anything. Claire is an only child, so she sometimes doesn't understand the feeling of having annoying siblings. Because of that, Vee and I usually kept our complaints between each other.

I threw the covers off of me and walked into the bathroom. My hair was definitely a mess. I didn't have to look in the mirror to know that. Using a couple spells my uncontrollable curly red hair was tamed and the dark circles under my eyes disappeared. After getting dressed in regular clothes I walked back into the dorm. I noticed Mya and Heather, the two other girls in my dorm, both were up. I muttered a greeting to both of them before grabbing my favorite book as I walked out of the room and down the stairs. I had a lot of plans for today. It was Saturday! A free day for me and me alone! For a couple hours maybe.

Once I was seated peacefully underneath one of the many trees beside the lake, I opened up my book. I smiled as my eyes darted over the typed words of the page. Finally, I was able to read a book in peace, without any member of my crazy family or small group of friends bugging me.

"Hey, weasel. What are you doing out here so early?" I looked up at the person who dared to ruin my Saturday. My eyes glared at the blonde intruder. … Malfoy!

"Leave me alone Malfoy!" I said, looking down at the page I was reading once again. Without permission he sat down next to me, after a few minutes his body was still and silent. I scoffed in annoyance and placed my book in my lap. "What do you-" I stopped myself when I saw he was asleep. His strong pale face softened in slumber as he smiled slightly. It was almost cute. I shook my head quickly. Those thoughts have to leave, now! It was stupid of me to think them. He was my arch enemy. We fought on a daily basis about everything. Everything! He was my rival in all of our classes and I hate him, even though he is Albus's best friend.

"Hey, Red!" Paul appeared on the other side of me, suddenly. I screamed, and pushed myself closer to Scorpius, unintentionally of course. I suppose my scream woke him because he held me in his arms. I glanced up into his gray, almost silver eyes, and glared. My sea blue eyes pierced his dangerously.

"Get off!" I pushed his arms away and I jumped up, putting a fair distance between me and him.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you, Red." Paul scratched the side of his head innocently and turned to Scorpius. "Flint is going to be pissed if we're late again."

"Yeah, okay." He stood slowly, and turned in the direction of the Quidditch pitch. "See you around, weasel."

"Whatever." I sneered, causing his lips to curve upward into a smirk. With a wave of his fingers he said goodbye and Paul walked next to him silently. I wrapped my arms around me. The part of my skin that touched his felt … weird. The only way to described it was a tingling feeling. Ignoring it, I sat down and focused on reading my book, not on the boy in my dreams or the one I hated ... who just held me in his arms without protest.

After I read eight chapters, I decided to go inside. It took longer than usual due to the fact my mind continued to wander back to my dream. Who was he? Did i know him? Was it like a glimpse into the future?

The trees beside the lake were starting to get crowded with other students running around, having fun, and laughing. I walked down to the Quidditch pitch to see if Vee was there. Luckily enough, she was. The entire Gryffindor Quidditch team was there. They all sat on the grass talking about their upcoming strategies. My cousin James led the discussion.

"We have everything ready, so I will see you all here tomorrow at seven." James' eyes flickered over to the girl who was waiting in the stands. I recognized her as a girl in my year from Hufflepuff. Did little Jamie have a girlfriend that no one knew about?

"What?! No practice now?" Vee cried out in annoyance. The only time she was loud was on the pitch.

"No, the Slytherins have the pitch all day." James replied pointing over to the group of people on the other side of the pitch. I saw Scorpius among them, lying on his back staring up at the clouds. "I used mufflio on us so they can't hear a thing." Pulling out his wand and undid the spell and walked over to the girl he looked at before. Vee rolled her eyes and walked lazily over to me.

"Who is she?" I asked. My eyes pointed to the giggling girl who James was now talking to.

"Amber," she scowled. "I heard she was a bitch. Don't know how she got to be in Hufflepuff."

"Maybe she's a loyal bitch," I suggested.

"There is no such creature!" Vee threw her head back and laughed. "We should go back to the castle."

"One of your feelings again?" I asked. Vee had feelings about when things are happening. Most of the time, they are right too. Claire says she has the inner eye, but doesn't accept it, which I think is rubbish. The inner eye?! HA!

"Yeah, Lily is up to something." She whispered before she started to run off to the castle. Lily? Oh Merlin! What is that girl doing now? I pushed myself to run as well. Vee was so fast, too fast!

Vee and I walked into the great hall out of breath. Hearing Lily's voice, I looked over at the Ravenclaw table.

"Ask him!" she said loudly to her friend, Evy. Evy and Lily were one year younger than Vee and me. They were both in Ravenclaw. Evy is the one and only sister of Scorpius Malfoy. Yes, you heard me! She's Malfoy's little sister. But thank Merlin she is nothing like him. Just like Paul and Vee, they are complete opposites.

"No!" Evy replied, seemingly ignoring the loud volume of Lily's voice.

"Lils!" I yelled and walked over to sit next to her. Vee went to the other side of the table and sat next to Evy. "What are you yelling about?" I asked curiously.

"She likes this guy and she won't ask him out." Lily shook her head disapprovingly at her.

"Evy, who's the guy?" Vee asked.

"No one. Lily is just overreacting," Evy said, turning a page in the book in front of her.

"Don't make me go get your brother. He's down at the pitch. I just saw him a couple minutes ago." Vee raised her eyebrow in a threatening way.

"Oh yeah, bringing Scorpius here would make everything easier," Lily muttered sarcastically. Vee and I exchanged confused glances. What was going on? "Tell them or I will." Lily leaned over and said to Evy.

"Fine…" she placed her quill down and looked at us. "Lily has this insane idea that I like Al, and I don't." Evy slammed the book closed, and picked up all of her belongings. With her arms wrapped around her books she stomped off away from the table.

"Evy! Come on! What, are you really going to let him be with Shannon?!" Lily screamed after her.

"Yes, and I wish them well!" The two girls walked out of the Great Hall talking heatedly. They have never fought like that before. I hope they will be okay.

"You realize that they always leave us at their table?" I looked back at Vee. She was right they always did … crazy fifth years! "Where to next?" she asked as we both stood up.

"The library?" I smiled. Rolling her eyes, Vee nodded and off we went to the place where I felt most at home, the Hogwarts' library.

On the way we stopped at the Gryffindor tower to pick up some books. We had homework that was due Monday and Vee wouldn't have time to do it tomorrow because of Quidditch.

"Slughorn is as insane as he is old," Vee muttered into the parchment. She was writing the potions essay on amortenia. I only had a few lines to write yet, and Slughorn told us we would be making the potion on Monday. I wonder what mine will smell like. Sighing heavily, I pushed back in my chair, causing its legs to creak underneath me. Without a word to Vee, I disappeared among the shelves and returned the book I was holding.

"Hey Rose," a voice whispered to me. Turning, I saw it was David McLaggan. His dirty blonde hair fell in his green eyes dangerously. Sure he was handsome, but there are many rumors about him being spread among the girl population. He was a womanizer, or something of that sort. He only wanted one thing and other than that, all he thought about was himself. My mother told me a story once about how she dated his father to make dad jealous and apparently it worked. According to her, the phrase "father like son" applies to them perfectly.

"Hello, David" I replied with no energy. I did not want to deal with his advances at the moment.

"Next weekend is a Hogsmeade weekend … would you like to go with me?" he asked in a husky tone. Does he really think that will persuade me to date him? Just because he said something huskily to me, I have to swoon and worship the ground he walks on?

"No," I said quickly, trying to walk through the maze of shelves to escape him. He was like an annoying fly!

"I'd make it worth your while." … Eww! No, not really. The only boy who i was interested in was the boy in my dreams, whoever he is.

"I don't think so." I continued to walk away, and then retook my seat next to Vee, where I was safe. He would never dare say anything to me with her around. It's not like he's afraid of her, but his fear of Paul is a complete, different story.
