Chapter 4: A Night that would change everything

A/N: Thanks again to everyone who's supported the fic! =D makes me feel so special, lol. I'm trying to update the fic every day or so but because of my Spanish teacher, who doesn't think me or any of my classmates have a life outside of school, I might not be able to. But because everyone likes the fic so much, and I only have 20 more days of school, I think I can miss one assignment.

As Amy, Chris, and Sam exited the train, they noticed a bunch of eager first years standing in awe of the castle. Amy gave a slight smile; she remembered her first day at Hogwarts. She had been very nervous, mostly all the other kids had friends through their parents her on the other hand didn't. Her dad only had 3 true friends at Hogwarts and he had married her mom and her Uncle Ron didn't have any kids. She could still remember Sam's first words to her while they were boarding the platform So, you don't know anyone either? And Chris joining in on there conversation, his usual habit, Me neither, It was all history from then. That was also the year she met Eric as well.

'Amy, Amy!'

It was Sam, Amy sighed, once again she got lost in her daydreaming and had just walked in a complete daze to the dining room.

'I'm starving,' Chris said 'When will this damn sorting ceremony be over?' Neither of them paid much attention to the sorting, they found it extremely boring and a waste of time.

Amy then drifted back into her daydreaming knowing she wouldn't miss anything, recalling her first encounter with Eric Malfoy. So, you're the Potter girl? Heard a lot about you. Must be nice getting all the attention. At the time Amy hadn't said anything, and had just looked at Eric confused. Here was this guy she hadn't met in her life and he just comes up and cusses at her. He did have a point though. She was Harry Potter's only child and a big deal had been made that she was finally going to Hogwarts. At the time she wasn't perfectly clear of the tension between the Potter family and the Malfoys.

'Attention!' she heard a voice cry out. She jumped out of her daze and looked around, it was Dumbeldore making his speech 'Welcome all back to Hogwarts and a special welcome to our new first years! First years keep in mind that the Dark Forest is forbidden and that leaving the dormitories after certain hours will have consequences. So without further a due let us eat!'

'Finally' Chris moaned under his breath. And within seconds food appeared everywhere.

Amy, Chris, and Sam all had equal amounts of whatever they could find, chicken, turkey, pasta, well basically anything edible. When they were done they didn't feel like catching up with their fellow Gryffindors and headed straight to bed.

On their way to their dormitory they passed a few people who were very eager to catch up with them. 2 annoying Ravenclaws, Anne and Alexis a Huffelpuff named Ryan and Professor Snape.

'I hope you all did your potions homework.' He said looking directly at Samantha, they all nodded eager they just wanted to go to bed.

'If one more person prevents me from going to sleep…' Chris began but was interrupted by Darrel a very selfish and stuck up boy whose favorite hobby was irritating people.

'Hello, whatcha guys talking about?'

'We were just discussing imps and their unusual habit of humping trees, now fuck off!' Chris screamed soon Darrel was running down the halls, Chris was very intimidating.

As they reached the picture of the fat lady she asked 'Password?'

'Pig Snout' said Sam

The door opened and they saw their common room, exactly the same way it was before.

'Well I'm gonna go study the backs of my eyelids, goodnight ladies!' Chris said exhausted and headed up the stairs. The girls did the same.

Amy had a very troubling dream that night. She was in a forest, the forbidden one most likely, and her dad was yelling at her. She didn't remember all the things he had said but she did remember him saying You can't love him! He is not safe! Then someone toke her by the hand and led her through the forest away from her father whispering to her Don't worry, I'll take you away from this. She then remembered a blinding light and a boy screaming, and then everything went dark.

Amy jumped up out of bed. It was 1:00 in the morning and she was drenched with sweat. At first she didn't realize why, but then the dream crept back in her mind. There was no way she could go to bed after that.

She decided to go for a walk. She slipped on her level 27 t-shirt over her undershirt and boxers and crept out of the dormitory. As she walked through the castle she realized that she had forgotten her invisibility cloak. She cursed under her breath and turned around quickly knocking someone to the floor.

She covered her mouth in shock. What if it was a teacher? She didn't want to loose house points the first day back. As the figure got to it's feet she heard it groan, this was no teacher, it was another student. Quickly she swiped out her wand and whispered 'lumos' only to find the light of her wand reflect over Eric Malfoy's face.

They just stood there in silence for a few seconds till Eric cracked a smile. It was then that she noticed, she was in her pajamas. She turned bright red, but was quickly joined by Malfoy who was wearing sweatpants and a gray t-shirt.

For a while they just laughed at the fact that they were seeing each other in their pajamas. 'Well, I believe I've been embarrassed enough for the year.' Eric exclaimed.

Amy replied 'Same here.' Then she realized that her and Eric were actually having a civilized conversation, she could tell Eric noticed as well because he had a similar uncomfortable look on his face.

'Too busy reciting your poetry to notice where you're going Potter?' Eric said in his usual snobbish voice. 'Well there goes that' Amy thought.

'Too busy jerking off to notice someone's in front of you Malfoy?' Amy replied in a similar snobbish tone.

'Whatever, good night.'

'Good night'

'Oh and next time Potter,' Eric began 'I suggest you wear more than up-your-ass boxers and a t-shirt while going for a midnight stroll'

'And I suggest you wear something that has been washed at least once.' Amy said referring to his stained boxers

'And I suggest you two go to your dormitories, right now and met me for detention tomorrow at 8 pm, don't be late now' Both of them looked up quickly just to find Professor McGonagall next to them.
