Elena woke up screaming. She sat bolt upright in bed, hand pressed against her chest panting heavily; tears streaming down her face. This was not the first time she woke up screaming from her nightmares.
"Elena...ELENA! Its okay, I'm here. You just had another bad dream." Bonnie wrapped her arms around her best friend. Elena was shaking.
"Bonnie...I'm sc-scared. These nightmares are becoming more and more real. He's getting closer to me, I can feel it!" Elena had burst into tears and was hysterical.
"You are safe here at Hogwarts. Dumbledore wouldn't let anything happen to you. He knows the situation and he's taking every precaution." Bonnie said reassuringly trying to comfort Elena.
When Elena Gilbert was just a child, the darkest and most feared wizard of all time had come to power. Lord Voldemort went on a killing spree. He brutally murdered thousands of people; horror was spread through the country. Everyone was scared. All witches and wizards were terrified. Even in the muggle world, people knew something just wasn't right. There had been many disappearances and murders around that time, but no one could quite understand what was actually going on. If you were not a pure blood (a person of entirely magical heritance) or someone who stood in his way and did not follow him, you were dead.
Elena's parents possessed the Philosophers Stone, the Elixir of Life. This was handed down to them by their ancestors. This was the only elixir left in the world. Lord Voldemort wanted this stone more than anything and would stop at nothing to get it. He broke into Elena's home and sadistically murdered both her parents. Voldemort killed her father first and then took the life of her mother as she so bravely tried to protect Elena. He had used the Avada Kedavra spell on them. Also known as the "Killing Curse" which causes instant death. Voldemort had used the Avada Kedavra spell on Elena, but it had not worked. She was the only person to ever survive that curse and still living and breathing today. She was practically famous for it and everyone knew her name.
After the attack on Elena, Voldemort's powers had nearly withered away till he was almost nothing. But over the years, he has become stronger and more powerful. Everyone knew he was coming...it was only a matter of time now. He wanted that Philosophers Stone and he needed the blood of any relative who possessed the stone to activate it. The only problem is...Elena was the only living person in her family left. That meant Voldemort was coming for her soon and she knew it. The Philosophers Stone was being kept safe, hidden at Hogwarts.
She was living in an orphanage since she was a child, she had no family left. Once she became a teenager, she received her letter from the headmaster, Professor Dumbledore, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She could not express the happiness she felt at that very moment; all she could do was cry. Elena was ecstatic and could not wait to begin her new life there and start fresh.
