A/N: Thanks for the great reviews. Please keep them coming.
The journey back home was very boring. All we did was take turns going to each others rooms and talking about the events at Hogwarts and all the new friends that we made. Viktor ended up swapping addresses with Hermione, which he got teased about for awhile. I showed Viktor and the gang the necklace Draco had given me and then I was teased about it.
When arriving home I asked my 'father' if I could spend the rest of the summer with Viktor and his family, since Viktor was graduating he agreed and I was off to Viktor's. I had met his parents before and they were very nice people. They brought me in and treated me like one of their own.
Every morning was the same; get up, get dressed, eat, play Quidditch, talk, eat, shower, sleep. The next day; get up, get dressed, eat, play Quidditch, talk, eat, shower, sleep. The next day…well you catch my drift. Sometimes events would change sometimes we'd go out to eat. I know it doesn't seem like much but it's a whole lot better than staying home in that huge empty castle.
Everyday I would wear Draco's necklace that he had given the day we left Hogwarts I don't know why but I felt like I wasn't going to be seeing many people for a long time. It was a feeling that I kept having since I got on the ship and came back home. It wasn't a very pleasant feeling, and to top it all off I started to have dreams again.
They weren't the same as the dreams I have had before, they showed me, in a dark room and I was chained to a wall. The room was damp, cold, and empty. The only thing that could be seen was the chains and a candle which was the only source of light. It was like a jail cell. But during one of the dreams the chains unlocked and a door in front of me opened and that was when I woke up.
I told Viktor about it but he seemed to not think into it much, which was completely understandable who would look into something that was a dream, and nothing else but a dream. Still, I couldn't help to think that maybe there was some significant reason to why I am having these dreams.
The summer was coming to a close and I would soon be returning home unfortunately. My father sent me a letter saying that someone would be coming to pick me up and taking me to the train station which would drop me off at a city near the school where a carriage will be waiting to take me up to the castle.
'That's weird, why don't I just use floo powder.'
I dismissed the idea and went downstairs to join Mr. and Mrs. Krum and Viktor at breakfast.
"So, Emily you excited about going back home?" Mr. Krum asked.
"Um, no Mr. Krum I'm not. The castle is so big and empty; I usually can't wait until the year starts to see all my friends again, and to actually have someone to talk to other than my father."
"Oh you poor, dear. I bet you feel so lonely up there by yourself. I would too," Mrs. Krum said and the rest of us chuckled.
Three days later I was saying goodbye to Viktor and his parents and on my way back to Durmstrang.
"Thank you so much Mr. and Mrs. Krum for your hospitality," I said.
"Oh, don't mention it dear. We are always happy to have one of Viktor's friends over to stay," Mrs. Krum said, while she hugged me goodbye.
"Well, thank you again. I'll see you later Viktor ol' pal," I said patting him on the back.
"Oh, ha, ha, ha, I am splitting at my sides with laughter," he said sarcastically. I laughed and hugged him goodbye. I climbed into the car and we drove off.
Viktor didn't live far from the train station where I was to be dropped off, so it only took about an hour and a half to get there. My bags were loaded onto the train and I sat down in one of the compartments by myself when the train began to make its way to the school.
It was a beautiful day outside when I got back to the town. It was full of life and laughter of children and people with friends. I spotted my father's black carriage and walked towards it. I climbed inside and closed the door, a couple of minutes later we had arrived at the school. I opened the door and only took five steps away from the carriage when I was bombarded by about 20 men who held my hands behind my back and put restraints on my wrist.
"Ms. Emily Karkaroff you have here by been sentenced to life in Azkaban reason being of baring the Dark Mark and working for He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named himself," a man said who was standing in front of me. My father came out of the castle and stared at the scene that was unfolding in front of him. The man grabbed my left sleeve and revealed my mark as proof to the accusation.
"What? Who called you here? Who told you this? Father, help me. Tell them that this is not what it seems. Tell them this is a mistake," I begged from my spot on the floor on my knees. All Karkaroff did was stare coldly down at me, it was then that it hit me and it hit me hard, like a hard slap on the face. "It was you. You told them. How could you hand over your own daughter?"
"I have no daughter. Get this piece of filth out of my site," he spat.
"You dirty piece of shit. You're going to get what's coming to you. Do you hear me, Karkaroff? You're going to get to yours!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as the men dragged me to a truck that was waiting to take me to my home for the next years of my life. I was thrown into a chamber that looked shrilly familiar.
'This is from my dreams. It all makes sense now. The room was here. That is what my dreams were signifying. That I was going to be sent to Azkaban for the rest of my life. That snitch, that stupid bastard, how could he turn me in? I'm going to kill him, oh, and he will feel pain, just like he made me feel pain. Hang on, what is wrong with me? I haven't even been in here for an hour and I'm already plotting revenge. This place does have an affect on you. What's going to happen to me? More importantly what is happening to me?'
