Chapter 12: THE DREAM
"SEVERUS! WHAT HAPPENED? WHY DOES THIS CHILD HAVE A GASH ON HER FACE?" Madam Pomfrey exclaimed.
"She got in a bit of a scrape with Mr. Malfoy. That would be Lucius, not Draco." Snape explained, as he saw the confusion in Pomfrey's face.
"Why on earth was she anywhere near that awful man?" She asked
"Dumbledore sent for Lucius, the headmaster wanted to inform Lucius about his son's behavior." Snape said watching Madam Pomfrey work.
"." She said ushering Snape out of the room.
Madam Pomfrey crossed her arms as she watched Catalin struggle in a fit filled dream.

She looked around, and found that she was in complete darkness. She knew that something didn't feel right. All of a sudden she was surrounded by a blue light. Two figures appeared far off. As they came closer she could see that one was male and one was female. The male was dressed in solid black robes. The female was dressed in a midreview soceress's gown that was royal blue.
"Finally we meet." The woman spoke darkly. "And it will be your last."
"Who are you!" She shouted.
"Well, I killed your mother, father, and Harry Potter's parents. I am the Dark Wizard, Voldemort." He rasped
"And I am the most feared Sorceress of all time, And I will kill your brother." Her silky, icy, voice said. "I am the Sorceress of Shadows, Veran."
"And now my sweet child, we are going to take that wonderful power from you." Voldemort hissed.
"WHAT POWER COULD I BEAR THAT YOU WANT?" She yelled at the two, angrily.
"Why, my dear, the power of light. The one that separates the evil magic and the dark magic. Not only that but you carry with in you the four elements of the world. Wind, Water, Fire, and Earth. That could prove to be dangerous to us, so we have to take them from you. Not to mention that we need them to rule the world." Veran said advancing on her.
She panicked then suddenly couldn't move. She screamed but nothing came forth. She felt the energy being drained from her body, then the pain.

Catalin sat up in a cold sweat. She felt her arms and face. She was still very much alive. Her strawberry red hair plastered to her face. Tears cascaded down her face. She all of a sudden felt extremely hot. She looked around for Madam Pomfrey but couldn't find her anywhere. She needed to do something to take her mind off of that dream. Or maybe she just needed to think about it. She grabbed a fist full of her hair and pushed it out of her face. Then grabbed it back.
"I've been wanting to cut this for a long time, but Drew hasn't let me." She whispered to herself. "Well, Drew isn't here."
With that she got out of her bed. Her legs wobbled slightly and she began to walk quietly around trying to find some sissors.
"Ah damn I can't see." She said quietly. "Ah, let's see if this works."
She cupped her left hand and whispered, "lumos". A small gold orb formed in her hands and room was filled with a dull glow. She searched around some more until she finally found a pair.
"Now where am I gonna put this?" She asked.
She looked around the room and her gaze settled on a small kerosene lamp. She lifted the glass and set the orb on the lamp. It sort of eerily floated there over it. She raked her hand through her hair and muttered and accuracy spell and cut her long hair off. She finished and got back in bed after extingushing the orb.
The next morning Catalin got up, showered and went down for breakfast.
The whole Gryffindor table jumped up at her enterance.
"OH MY GOD CATI ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?" Ginny yelled running towards her.
"I'll be ok." Catalin smiled.
"We heard what happened last night and we were so worried." Fred said hugging her. He seriously looked as if he might break down in tears.
"Fred, I'm ok. Really." She said laughing a bit.
With that he let her go and took his seat next to his brother. Catalin sat down at the table and turned to get some oatmeal.
"Cati, what did you do to all of you hair?" Harry asked eyes wide. He was shocked to see Cati's shoulder length hair now cut short into a shiny bob.
"I had a nightmare last night. I needed something to do to get it off my mind so I cut it all off. Reckon Madam Pomfrey will gonna have a fit because there is red hair all over her floor." Catalin laughed while pouring milk and surgar in her oatmeal.
"Well, I like it." Fred said smiling at her.
"Thank you Fred." She said smiling back at him.
Later that day, Catalin was strolling along the hall from the library to the Gryffindor Tower. She was in such deep thought that she collided with someone.
"Whoa there Catalin." Fred said catching her.
"Oh! Hey Fred!" She smiled. He loved that smile.
"Where are you headed?" He asked.
"I was on my way back to the Tower, care to join me?" She asked.
"Sure, I'll come." he smiled. When they reached the portrait, Fred stopped her.
"I have a secret that I have been meaning to share with you." He said nervously.
"Okay, spill." she said.
"Well, come closer." he said making it sound like a big secret. She leaned closer to him. Out of nowhere, Fred kissed her. She didn't pull back because she knew how long it probably took to muster up the courage to do this. Instead she kissed back. At that moment, George and Ron came out of the portrait.
"Oh, Ronnikins, I don't think Mr. Wood would like it at all if he found out that his girlfriend and our brother where snogging in the hallway." George said.
At the sound of George's voice, Fred pulled away from Cati and looked at the two wide eyed.
"You wouldn't!" he yelled.
"I would." George smiled.
"Oh please, George, I'll do anything. I really don't want to see Oliver and Catalin breakup because of something silly I did!" Fred shouted, almost in tears. "ANYTHING?" Ron said.
"Anything." Fred sighed.
"You have to do both of our potions homework for the next four weeks." George said satisfied with his deal.
"WHAT!!! Well, alright." Fred complied.
Catalin shook her head then looked at Fred with an expression that was hard to read. "Thank you Fred, dear, it was a wonderful kiss." she smiled and went into the common room.
Fred turned a ! bright crimson color.
"But that doesn't mean I won't tell Harry and Hermione." Ron said running off.
"DON'T YOU DARE!" Fred yelled after him.
"HEY HARRY!! YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT FRED JUST DID!!" Ron yelled down the hall.
"What?" Harry yelled running up the steps.
Ron waited until Harry got all the way up the steps. He whispered it in his ear. Harry's eyebrows shot up to his scalp and turned his bright green eyes on Fred's light blue ones.
"Good work, I'll pray for you." Harry laughed.
"Harry, you know you wish you were me." Fred grinned.
"No, I don't want to get beaten by Oliver. " replied Harry, grinning from ear to ear.
Meanwhile Catalin sat in the common room writing a letter to her brother. When she finished she sent the letter with Midnight. No sooner had she sent the owl, when she got that sense of foreboding again. "I'm going crazy." She muttered. "Everybody and everything is fine. Drew will come back to me soon."
That night she went to bed still feeling slightly worried. She brushed her hair out of her face and went to bed. In the middle of the night, Professor Mcgonagal was shaking her awake.
"Catalin! Catalin! Wake up!" She said urgently.
"Huh?? What??" Catalin said opening her eyes.
Apparently everyone else in the dorm was wake as well.
"Come with me." She said ushering her out into the common room. "We just received this."
Catalin took the letter and read it carefully. She began to shake, as tears streamed down her face. Then she let out an earth shattering scream that could be heard all oer the school.
"SEVERUS! WHAT HAPPENED? WHY DOES THIS CHILD HAVE A GASH ON HER FACE?" Madam Pomfrey exclaimed.
"She got in a bit of a scrape with Mr. Malfoy. That would be Lucius, not Draco." Snape explained, as he saw the confusion in Pomfrey's face.
