Short warning, this story will contain suicide mentions and a few dark moments. Don't complain to me if you don't like that.

You do know that being stalked by a faceless dickhead is just great. I lost friends, almost got thrown in jail for murder, and almost died several times. On top of that I had to keep up on my studies for my final year of school. Life's just peachy, isn't it?
I'm in my final year at Hogwarts and it's just wonderfully that I have a demon trying to kill me, or just drive me crazy (if so, it's half way there). So basically I'm stuck in school, unable to do anything while something is trying to kill me. Thank you life, thank you…
I grabbed my two suitcases then ran into, what seemed like, a brick wall separating platforms Nine and Ten. I sighed in relief as I stepped onto the hidden platform, platform 9 3/4, and smiled widely as I saw the infamous crimson train.
"SKY!" I heard from behind me, I spun around just to be bear hugged by a tall redhead "Hannah... I can't breathe..." I choked out from in her grasp "He he, sorry" she giggled and let go. "Come on, I saved our compartment." She said and we weaved our way through the mass of students onto the train. After a minute or so of silence, I spoke up "I wonder who is going to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts this year" She shrugged then added "At least Quirrel was a decent professor, even if he disappeared half way through the year" I silently agreed "I hope it's an actual teacher, unlike last year" I shuddered and Hannah laughed.
~A few hours later~
The train began to slow, but it was nowhere close to Hogwarts. Ever since it got dark, I tried to refrain from looking out the windows for an extended period of time due to what happened during the summer. "Why are we stopping, we're nowhere near the station Hannah asked as I poked my head out of the compartment, apparently others did that as well as I saw about a dozen heads or so. The train jolted and quite a few people lost their balance, including me.
The lights flickered a few times and with the temperature dropping, they shut off. "Lumos" me and Hannah muttered, casting an eerie glow on the walls. I stood against the window for support. The air seemed to be growing colder every second, our breathing was visible. The train jolted once more, opening and then closing the sliding door. Hannah stood up and locked the door to keep it from moving. I gripped mu side with my arm directly out, illuminating part of the corridor.
My breathing increased as a dark figure slowly came in front of the door, and unlocking it with what seemed, wand less magic. Images flashed through my head for the split second the being was there. A dark forest with paper on the trees, a tall, pale man looking at me from the tree line. A memory that I had hidden away surfaced, one of my old friends screaming at me that it was my fault, and that they should never have met. I tried to push everything back, but I was still in a trance like state of mind with one word written on my face.
Fear...
"Sky!" A voice called, but it seemed so distant... "SKY!" The voice called once more, louder, trying to bring me back to reality from this hell called my mind. A harsh stinging appeared on my cheek then it literally slapped me back into the world "What in the name of Merlin's bloody balls was that about. That creature, a dementor appeared, you froze and didn't move for well after it left" She was practically yelling at this point "H-hannah I-i can explain" I stuttered out. She was never like this, ever. "You better."
After a moment I whispered "I can't, I'm not dragging you onto my personal hell..." She looked at me with her expression softer "Sky, what's going on" she gripped my shoulders and looked me dead in the eyes "I can't, ok. I'm not dragging you onto the hell that is going on. I already -" I cut myself short, knowing I said too much "You what" She shook me a little "Nothing" I responded a bit too harsh.
The rest of the trip proceeded in silence. When it came time to change , all I did was slip on my V-neck and my cloak, I wore the skirt and shirt on my way onto the train. Me and Hannah shared a few glances "Listen Hannah, in sorry for being rude... I'm trying to protect you" I said while the train began to slow in speed. "Protect me? From what?" She asked, twice. I somehow knew that she would ask that. By the time I responded, the train stopped "I'll tell you when the time is right" And with that, I grabbed my last chocolate frog, possibility my very last for this life, and left the compartment, then the train. As soon as I stepped onto the platform, I instantly regretted the action. I was out in the open, clearly visible to the entity if it was around.
Everything was uneventful, until I got on the carriage, being as paranoid as I was, I looked around to try, and hope that nothing was there, I wish I didn't. It stood about 100 meters away, deep inside the forest, hidden from view. It was dark, save for the very dim light coming from the castle, but that was enough to illuminate it's pale face. I quickly looked away, but my eyes were drawn toward it by an unseen force. One thought filled my mind, but it was not mine...
Always watching, no eyes…
