Chapter 24
Scorpius's POV
She fell asleep before she could finish the sentence. I smiled down at her and looked up, realizing Rose staring at me.
"Um Rose?" she blinked.
"Why, may I ask, do you not have a shirt on?" my face turned peachy pink that was what she was staring at.
"Ur… um…. I was to hot. So when I went to bed I didn't bother to put one on, then I went down to the kitchen, forgetting I hadn't put a shirt on, and Winkey the elf got me a sandwich. Then Lilly came in and …. Ur… told me I had a fever. Then I basically admitted that that day I fell asleep in the snow and um I think I came down with something." I yawned and looked up at my mum. Her eyes were full of worry for me.
"Scorpius? Are you tiered? If you are go to sleep." My mum smiled at me.
"No. I'm not. I don't want to go back to sleep." I admitted.
"Good. We would like you to recite your dream." Mr. Potter asked, his hair was messy and he was wearing trousers and a ministry cloak, must have been working before he got here then. I gulped, I didn't want to remember the dream I wanted to hide away and forget it.
"Scorpius, we need to know what happened. Please." I could see he meant what he said, they needed to know, for what reason I don't know but I needed to tell them. I nodded shakily and sat up, more comfortably.
"Ok I'll tell you…" I recited the dream as best I could. At one point Rose, my mum and Lilly's mum were crying, her dad looked troubled.
"Thank you Scorpius, I know how terrible that dream must have been for you." Suddenly a whimper came from Lilly's direction. I looked down at her, her face really pale and edged with pain. She was clinging on to my arm, shivering.
"NO! STOP PLEASE! STOP IT! CAN'T YOU SEE YOUR HURTING HIM!" she screamed, tears were slipping down her face, and she was shaking violently.
"Lilly!" Ginny shouted. I scooped her up so she was on my lap, I was frightened for her, she was obviously dreaming I didn't know what she was dreaming about. She screamed.
"NO! STOP IT! PLEASE!" her breaths were long whimpering sobs. She screamed louder, she was in pain. Defiantly in pain. I was almost crying, I hugged her tighter.
"Lilly, Shh!" I whispered. "It's ok. You're ok. Your dreaming, just a horrible nightmare." Suddenly she screamed, not a scream of pain, but a scream of fury.
Then she stopped; she was still clinging to me. Her eyes opened, her Jade gems twinkled with terror. She was breathing heavily again, every gasp filled with agony. She looked up at me and blinked.
"I." she looked as white as a ghost. "You Died."
"Oh no!" I exclaimed. "You had my dream!"
"No it was w-worse!" her ears and tail popped out as she started to wail. I held her close as she buried her face in my shoulder.
"Your really warm." She sniffed; her teary eyes were slightly red from the crying.
"Yeah I have a fever." She nodded, "Should I tell you the dream?"
"If you don't mind flower." Mr. Potter said looking upset and fretful. Lilly nodded.
"Well…"
Lilly's POV (The dream)
Scorpius's hand was clenched in mine as we walked down the dark passage. The walls were smeared with bloodstains, and covered in cobwebs draping. I shook with fear as a cold laugh emanated from the door in front of us. The hair on the back of my neck stood on end and my tail popped out. I knew that laugh. But were was it from? How did I know it? I shivered with fear.
Suddenly the door opened and a shadowy figure was slumped in a chair.
He was alone in the room.
He started to cackle, his shoulders shook and his blood-caked hair hung, greasily around his face. He looked up, his bloodshot eyes narrowed with fury, the gleaming garnets shone with rust as his sharp grating laugh came to an end.
"Potter, you brought him to me, I knew you would!" he snickered lifelessly.
"You!" I whispered. Santiago let out another emotionless laugh.
"Now boy, tell me where the librum animarum is!" he demanded, his faces edged with determination.
"I, I don't know what that is." Scorpius stuttered. He looked terrified.
"Very well." he lifted his wand and screeched, "CRUCIO!"
He crumpled in a heap, screaming in pain. I watched in horror.
"NO! STOP PLEASE! STOP IT! CAN'T YOU SEE YOUR HURTING HIM!" I yelled. Santiago smirked a blood-coated fang peeked out of his dried up lips. The cracked skin around his mouth split, but no blood came out. He griped his wand harder making Scorpius's pleas turn into cries of agonizing torture.
"NO! STOP IT! PLEASE!" my breathes where now long whimpering sobs. Santiago stopped. Scorpius lay on the ground, immobilized, gasping for air.
"You just crossed the line!" I whispered my voice deathly cold. My tail was big and fluffy and my ears twitched, I felt a warm glow envelope my body.
His eyes widened.
The light faded and Santiago was gone. I fell to the floor feeling numb.
