Chapter 7: Potato Chips give you Nightmares
Buffy leaned against the bed and pulled out a bag of potato chips from under it. She opened it and passed it around to the three adults around her. Xander grabbed from her immediately and began to stuff his face with chips. He looked up to see everyone looking at him. "What? I'm hungry."
"You ate a massive dinner AND a dessert. You can't possibly be hungry." Buffy argued.
"I'm a growing boy." Oz raised an eyebrow at him.
"Okay a growing man but still. Leave me alone" Oz shrugged.
The four of them were seated on the floor. Buffy was leaning against the bed, Xander was sitting cross-legged and Willow was curled up in Oz's lap. Xander grinned at them all.
"I had the easiest day ever. The Muggle Studies teacher asked me to do a talk on what's it like to be a muggle and that weirdo Snape is actually all right after a while. He's like a cross between Spike and Angel and seen as I've grown to tolerate both of them I think I can tolerate him. I can't wait to see if Dawn gets on with him. I mean she was best friends with Deadboy and Spikey."
Oz nodded wisely, "He came up to me earlier. He's the head of Slytherin and I thought he was gonna freak out at me or something but he didn't do anything. He actually looked pretty angry with Malfoy himself."
Xander started to laugh.
"What's so funny?"
"It's just the look on Mini-spike when he insulted you. You looked like you were going to change and I thought he was going to wet himself."
"I nearly did change. I think it was the look on Dawn's face that brought be back to reality. She looked terrified."
"Well you definitely did a good job with the whole getting the student body on your side. And I mean it's not like Dawn couldn't look after herself." Buffy put in.
"That's the problem. She'd probably start a court case against the school and no muggles will ever be allowed in again. Definitely not of the good."
"I guess your right- as always."
"Of course I am"
"Jerk"
"Anyway" Willow interrupted. "How did your classes go Buffy?"
"Okay I guess. I mean that little arrogant brat Malfoy annoyed the hell out of me but otherwise that class is okay. And the seventh years are great. Fred and George had me in stitches and I know I saw Oz chuckle." Buffy said pointedly.
Oz looked at her innocently, "I don't know what your talking abut Buffy."
"Uh-huh. Yeah right."
"Hey!"
Willow looked at her watch. "Oh God. Look at the time. We better go to bed. We'll need our sleep."
Xander nodded and the three of them left Buffy's room. Xander went to his room next door and Willow and Oz walked slowly up the corridor to their rooms. Oz looked at Willow. "You okay?"
"Mmm. I'm just sleepy."
"Me too."
"Me too."
He chuckled and the reached the painting to Willow's room. "Hellmouth" she told the painting and it opened up slowly. She turned to Oz, "'Night"
"'Night" he kissed her softly and she retreated to her room. She smiled softly and quickly got into her pyjamas. She dragged herself to her king- size bed and fell asleep smiling.
**********
Harry and Ron climbed the stairs to their dormitory. They barely talked as they got into their beds. They fell asleep almost instantly. The whole Tower was silent. All the animals were asleep and even the forest was eerily quiet. Suddenly Harry started to move about in his sleep. He clutched his hand to his head and started to mutter to himself. Then he let out a shout.
**********
Buffy was screaming in her bed. Xander rushed in and grabbed her. He shook her hard until she woke up. She sat up straight, breathing heavily. "Oh God" she whispered.
"What was it Buff? Was it a prophetic dream?" Buffy nodded meekly and collapsed back on the bed, completely exhausted.
*********
Oz managed to get himself into Willow's room. She was screaming wildly and shuddering. Her legs and arms were flying everywhere. Oz's eyes widened as the vase lifted up and smashed into the wall. She was losing control. A wind blew up in the room and Oz had to fight his way to her bed. He grabbed on to her and shook her gently. "Willow" he shouted over the wind. The wind stopped suddenly. Willow's eyes snapped open and she looked around wildly. She burst into tears and Oz wrapped his arms around her. He stroked her hair and rocked her softly.
"It's okay baby, it's okay. Ssh"
************
Dawn ran into the boys' dormitory. Ron, Neville, Dean and Seamus were starting to wake up but she ran straight for Harry. He sat up, panting and holding his scar. He put his other hand to his head and started to shake. Dawn grabbed him. Are you okay?"
He nodded and lay back on the bed.
Ron looked at him worriedly. "Harry, the last time your scar hurt."
Harry looked at him. "He's started killing." He whispered.
Hermione and Ginny ran into the room. "What happened? We heard screaming"
"Harry had a dream" Ron told them. Hermione looked at Dawn, "How did you get here so fast?"
Dawn shrugged, "I couldn't sleep. I heard muttering but I figured that was someone talking in their sleep. Then it started to get louder and then I heard a scream. My sister has prophetic dreams kind of like this and, well, I came in as fast as I could." She looked at Harry.
"Are you sure your okay. He nodded again and she smiled at him. "Well then I guess us girls had better get back to bed." She grinned once more and the three girls left the room.
Harry fell back to sleep almost instantly.
