That night Vanessa had a terrible dream. At first she was with Ron at
school and all of a sudden they both started running towards a train. They
ran for what seemed hours, but they never caught the train. Vanessa wanted
to stop and rest but Ron said that they had to keep going in order to save
'them.' At last they came to a huge castle, and Ron, ran inside and they
door closed, with Vanessa being on the outside. She tried to open the door
but it wouldn't budge.
Vanessa woke with a sweat. She gasped as if she had just run a marathon and because of the gasp she woke up Angela and Kelsey.
Vanessa told them her story and all three were puzzled. They decided not to dwell on it and they all went back to sleep.

"Harry, Ron, Draco, sit down, I've been waiting for you boys to come back." Dumbledore said in a tired voice.
They looked at each other and knew they were all in deep trouble. They sat down, and Harry looked at Hermione. She saw him but turned away. Harry thought to himself, this has gotta be bad.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Vanessa kept having the same dream and she didn't want to go through it again so she decided to go downstairs and either find some food in Kelsey's pantry, or find something interesting to watch on television.
She tiptoed past the two other girls, through the hallway, past Kelsey's sister's room. Kelsey's sister was named Casey, she was 12, just in 6th grade. Vanessa wondered if she possessed the same power as her sister did, but she decided to shrug it off, it wasn't that important question to be pondering on.
What was an important question was what did the dream mean. Kelsey was an expert on dream interpretation, she was into all that weird stuff, and because of the look on Kelsey's face, Vanessa was worried.

"Now, I sent you all on this mission and I believe I made myself clear. These three girls are very important to the whole witch society. Without them, everyone in the wizarding world will be destroyed. Unfortunately, the wizarding world needs them a little sooner than I thought; we need them in this next week. They need to know what you are, and what they are. They need to know of Hogwarts, and they need to be willing to go with you." Dumbledore looked into each of their eyes, and hoped, hoped with all his heart, that they could do this.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As soon as Vanessa was drifting off to sleep, she heard the step squeak. She jerked up to find Angela tiptoeing down the stairs.
"Couldn't sleep, and I saw you weren't in your sleeping bag, so I thought, where else could Vanessa be at a time like this." Angela smiled shyly as she said this.
Vanessa and Angela were close friends, more than them and Kelsey. They were friends throughout middle school and then ninth grade is when they became friends with Kelsey.
"So I know when something is bothering you, what's up?" Vanessa said. Vanessa was worried for her friend.
"I am not sure about Draco. I really like him, and I am sure he likes me, but, I think we are both too shy to say anything." Angela said.
Vanessa laughed. Angela was rarely shy, she was only shy when a cute boy she liked was around. Vanessa thought to herself, she must, really like Draco.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"One week, that is all you have." Dumbledore said as he walked out of the room. The others just looked at each other and Draco started the conversation. "I wonder what exactly is their deal. They look pretty normal to me."
"What, does that mean that you have to look different to be a wizard?" Harry said, trying to break the tension. It didn't work.
"This whole day has been a waste to me, its not like I can do anything in this mission anyway." Hermione said. She felt angered when she couldn't do somehting for herself. "Its up to you boys. You all must find a way for them to trust you." Saying nothing more, Hermione headed to her room, and the boys didn't hear her again till morining.
"So Harry, how are we going to do this?" Ron asked inquisitively. Harry really had no idea and shrugged his shoulders. "I am not sure, but I do know that they all need to find out on the same night, and we will need to leave directly after that, maybe the next day."
They all decided to tell them on Wednesday, that way they could still spend time with them.
