"Come in." Snape said from behind a boiling cauldron. "Your late." He said before I could explain. "I'm sorry sir. Professor McGonagall stopped me in the hall. I told her that I had detention and that you would give me another if I was too late." He nodded and then sighed. "I see. Go over there behind my desk and get some powdered deer antler." He droned out. "Yes sir." I put my bag down next to his desk and searched through the boxes until I found the one he was looking for. "What kind of nightmares are you having Miss. Patterson." Snape asked when I handed him the powdered antler. "Um what do you mean?" He sighed. "What do you dream about? Death? Destruction? The past? Forgetting your homework? What?" I felt the blood rushing out of my face. "Uh well you see I dream of things to come and things that will repeat themselves. But it is only the bad things. Death. Destruction. Famine. War. The Dark Lord." I noticed that he stiffened visibly.
"How many dreams have you had since you got to Hogwarts?" I didn't expect that question. "Three. One for every night I've been here. My roommates complained this morning that I was keeping them awake, because I was screaming in my sleep." He stopped working on the potion for a moment. "Tell me about the first one." My hands began to shake. "I was standing at the bottom of the staircase in front of the Great Hall. Students were running from something. Everything was hectic. The staircases were crumbling, spells were being fired." I blanked out and knew what I had said was going to come true but I knew now I had brought about a vision.
"When Dark and Light compete for first. When ladders to the sky fall. When the only one HE is scared of parishes. That is when it will begin. The beginning of the end. Peace will be far but near. Three will step forward and all will be calm."
Sorry it's a cliffhanger!
