"Hey, hey, hey, whose wand is this?" asked Kate as she removed the wand
from her chair.
"Uh, that would be ours!" Exclaimed George from behind the couch. Kate threw it to them and moved her chair next to Angelina's. It was a freezing cold night. The snow was heavy outside and they windows were frozen. Ninety percent of Gryffindor students were in and out of the common room trying to get near the fireplace for the majority of the night. Alicia appeared from her dorm wearing two jumpers, two pairs of pants, a scarf and thick woolly socks. A first year giggled at her.
"NO WAY I'm getting sick the first day back!" She explained to as she sat as close to the fire as she could. Jordyn looked around the room. Hermione was in the library studying with Reba, Harry was playing wizard chess with Ron, and Harmony, Kate, Angelina and herself were talking about Professor Snape.
"He really gets on my nerves!" shivered Kate. "I hope he's seen the error of his ways!"
Laughing, Harmony replied, "I doubt it!"
After an hour or so, Jordyn decided to go for a walk. She was still thinking about her dad, and walking seemed to clear her thoughts. For some reason, she headed towards the library. She knew Hermione and Reba were in there, and thought maybe Skye would be too. Skye was her second cousin, and she could talk to her about anything, including her dad. The only problem was that Skye was a Slytherin, so she couldn't see her all the time. They had to meet down by Hagrid's a lot to be alone. The corridors were damp and chilly. She wrapped her cloak around her to stay warm as she tiptoed past different rooms. On the way she saw people huddled together making their way to their own dorms, and wished that she had someone with her aswell. She loved her privacy, but always needed someone with her. It was a security thing. Sighing, she made her was finally to the main doors and pushed them open. Inside it was dark, except for a faint glow from the back corner on the right. She walked towards it, and as she got closer she heard her friends voices. Smiling she walked up to the table and sat down.
"Hey Jordyn, how are ya?" Asked Reba. She had a heavy book lying on the table in front of her, reading in the candlelight.
"Cold, tired and homesick, yourself?" She replied with a laugh. Hermione looked up and said hello, but continued reading her rather large book aswell. Her greeting wasn't unusual; she always had her head hidden behind a book. It was nothing personal.
"Anyone seen Skye around?" She asked, still wrapped up in her cloak. It was colder in the library than it was in the corridors.
"Yeah she's over there somewhere looking for a book or something." Hermione mumbled, pointing towards a row of bookshelves a few meters away. Jordyn stood up and walked in the direction she was given. She found her huddled in a corner reading.
"Hey Skye, whatcha reading?" She smiled and sat down beside her.
Skye smiled. "Hey cuz, how are ya? I'm reading up on parseltongue. I can speak some of it to Saura, but I don't know it all yet!"
Laughing, Jordyn replied, "Maybe you should talk to Harry, I'm sure he can give you some tips!"
"Uh, I don't think Draco would like me askin Harry for tips on anything!" She'd been with Draco almost as long as Jordyn had been with Harry. Another reason why the girls spent hardly any time together. They talked for a while longer and decided to go back to their dorms, after organising to meet the next day at their usual spot.
"So five o'clock tomorrow night at Hagrid's?" Skye asked.
"Of course! See you tomorrow!" She replied with a hug. It was now nearly midnight, and she hoped she didn't run into any teachers on her way back. Tiptoeing down the corridors once again, praying that Mrs Norris didn't find her, she made it back to the common room.
"Password?" Asked the fat lady.
"Uh, um," She stumbled. "Um…" Remembering, she replied, "Purple raindrops." They'd changed the password the day before, and it was always hard to remember. The portrait swung open and she stepped inside. Only a few people were still awake. Barely.
Yawning, she sat on the couch in front of the fire. She loved how the fire sometimes turned from orange to blue, although not many people had seen it. No one took enough notice; it was only a fireplace to most people. She stared into it for what seemed at least half an hour, before drifting off to sleep.
"JORDYN LOOK OUT!!!"
Screaming. Running. Flash of green light. Screaming. Running.
"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Crying. Screaming. Running. Laughing. Green light.
Crying. Screaming. Crying. Screaming. Crying.
Laughing. Green Light.
Silence.
"AAAHHHH" Jordyn woke up in a cold sweat. She started crying. "HARRY!!" She screamed. "HARRY!!!" She was still on the couch, shaking. She looked at the fire and could've sworn it was green for a moment. "HARRY!!!!!"
"What? What's wrong?" He replied yawning. Then he saw she was crying. "Oh my god, babe what happened???" He sat down beside her and held her, rocking backwards and forwards. She was crying hysterically. "Sssshhhh, Sssshhhh, calm down. Sssshhhh, it's ok, I'm here now."
She continued crying for about ten minutes before she could speak. Still holding on to Harry's shoulder, she explained what she saw.
"It's okay, it was only a dream. Your safe now, I promise." He continued rocking and stroked her hair. "You're okay now, it was just a nightmare."
They sat there in silence until she was completely calm. It was three in the morning.
"Are you ok now?" He asked quietly.
"Yeah" She replied, sort of embarrassed about making such a fuss.
"Come on, you should go to bed."
They stood up and started making their way into their dorms.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH"
