Allie's Vision
Everything went black. When Allie next came into awareness she was in a cold, dark room. Looking around she saw bars on the door and window, shivering she found the one blanket in the room and pulled it around her body. Thinking back she tried to remember how she got to this room, but the last thing she remembered was walking out of her last class of the day, DADA before everything went black except for Malfoy's voice. He had been talking to some one else, but Allie didn't know who and then Allie had felt a portkey activate, nothing after that.
She didn't know how long she lay there before the door to the cell opened and two black robed men came in and grabbed her arms, hauling her off the floor and down the hall. They stopped in front of two elaborately carved doors, which one of the figures knocked on, a cold hiss of a voice told them to enter. Allie was steered in front of a high backed chair, and the man sitting in it.
He looked to be in his mid-thirties, maybe a little older. Grey dotted his hair in a few places, his eyes were like cold steel, grey and emotionless, they reminded her of her father's eyes when he punished his children. Allie's body involuntarily shivered as the eyes looked her over, and then the man smiled a cold, creepy smile that never reached his eyes. The two guards released her arms and seemed to melt into the back of the room, Allie was gestured to sit in the second chair present in the room, which she did with great caution. All of her wariness caused the man to smile even more.
"Do you know who I am child?" his cold voice drawing Allie's full focus. She shook her head, warily to afraid to say anything, having learned from her father's cold eyes and actions that speaking without permission to those who have empty eyes would result in bad things, and Allie didn't want to go back into the dark. "Well then I should introduce myself. I am Lord Voldemort, have you heard of me?" Again Allie's answer was an almost imperceptible movement of her head, this time a small nod and Allie shrank even further backwards into the chair, bringing her knees up to her chin and curling into a protective ball.
Lord Voldemort watched with great pleasure at the fear that this girl was expressing. He caught a few snippets of her thoughts, explaining her reactions like, please daddy, I don't like the dark, I promise to be good, must be silent, and empty eyes. She would be easy to control he decided as he watched her try and get smaller by curling into a ball. He spoke again, "Do you know why I have had you brought here?" At her gestured no he continued, "you my dear are a very powerful seer, are you not?" Allie knew to answer; she had to answer to keep his eyes from settling on her again, so she nodded, "very good. I wish to have you on my side. I can help you control the gift to see what you want, when you want. What do you say, will you help me take control of the world. I offer you a place at my side and I will give you protection for your friends."
All of Allie's past experience with men like this was screaming at her to say yes, to not make the man angry, to stay out of the dark, but Allie knew if she said yes her life would be over. She didn't want to be a sycophant to a megalomaniac with a god-complex, and she wouldn't betray her friends and family like this. With determination, Allie shook her head and spoke for the first time, "Go to hell. I would never join you." Before the red beam of light hit her chest, Allie saw the look in his eyes; a cold amusement had sprung up in anticipation of her pain.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allie bolted straight up in bed, and the first thing she saw was Remus in front of her talking to Dumbledore. She couldn't control herself, flinging forward into his arms, sobbing as her vision caught up with her. When the second pair of arms wrapped around her, Allie began to calm down, assured that this was not some dream, and she was truly awake.
Remus and Sirius held onto Allie as she cried, catching stray words in her sobs like, 'please not the dark and I'm sorry'. The rest of the people in the infirmary waited patiently until Allie had stopped crying, then Dumbledore asked her to describe her vision. As she told it, the two sets of arms tightened their hold around her waist, when she was finished Dumbledore spoke, "Miss Grey do you want me to summon your brothers?" Allie thought for a second before she nodded her head slowly, "Very well, I will do that now. Before I leave, you are dismissed from lessons tomorrow Miss Grey, Mr. Lupin, and Mr. Black since I doubt any of you will be getting much sleep tonight. Miss Evans and Mr. Potter I'm afraid that I can't excuse you two as well, so I expect you to be in all your lessons tomorrow. It would be advisable for Miss Grey to always be in the company of some one outside of Gryffindor tower," with that Dumbledore left and a few minutes later all three of Allie's brothers came in and kicked the teens out while they talked to her. Having nothing else to do, and knowing that Allie was in good hands with her brothers, the four teens went down to the Great Hall to grab a bite of dinner.
When they were finished, James and Lily headed back to the common room while Sirius and Remus went to see Allie. To the surprise of all parties Madame Pomfrey released Allie after her brothers left, instructing her to get lots of rest tonight. With her boyfriends on either side Allie made her way to the common room, there she smiled and nodded to the group of her friends by the fire and continued up the stairs to the bed she shared with Remus and Sirius.
Her two boys were really sweet, helping her into bed and tucking her in, but when they shut the curtains, leaving the bed in complete darkness, Allie began to panic. Confused by her accelerated breathing, a concerned Remus threw open the curtains to see what was wrong, both boys noticing the instant relieved look in Allie's eyes. "I'm s-sorry, please don't shut the curtains," she whispered near tears.
"Why Allie?" Sirius asked.
"Don't like the dark. Please don't leave me in the dark," the terrified expression on her face broke both of their hearts and Sirius got up and fished out his old nightlight from the bottom of his trunk, turning it on, before shutting the curtains once again. "Thank you Pads," was last thing Allie said before her eyes closed and her breathing evened out.

The days following her vision were some of the most stressful and informative that the four Marauders had had in Allie's presence. They had figured from her reactions to certain things that while her father had not hit her, he had done other things to terrify her as a child. Her fear of the dark, for example, or how she came to be uncharacteristically quiet around the group, were both very telling signs. Over the week following her vision Allie did get better, and soon there was no sign that the event had ever happened, except she stayed as far away from Malfoy as possible.
Dumbledore talked to Allie's Professors, and so none of them paired the two together during partner work, instead letting her partner with a friend. So the month of October passed, no other real incidents to mention.
