Chapter 6

Disclaimer-I don't own Neville sobsob I don't know Harry (thank god) or Ron or Draco or any one else that JK Rowling thought up. I do own Loshea, Sophie, Samuel, and anyone else I add. Thank you for listening, and expressly for reading and reviewing!!!

Summary- (I decided to have one, cause it might get long.) In which Draco has a dream and thinks about his uncle (all explain who he is I swear), the twins experience the future, Hermione tells a secret (I'm excited about that, you wont believe what it is) and Neville makes his move!!!! (It happens after some thing happens to Ginny, but I wont tell what.)

Draco's Dream (Draco's point of view, for like not very long though) I was standing in the middle of the battle, wondering what the hell I was doing, why I was there. I had no idea what side I was one, most the time I just closed my eyes and cursed, and it just hit who ever, I never knew. And then I saw my father, he'd thrown away his Death Eater mask and the look on his face was one I'd seen a hundred times before, when he was yelling for me to 'get of the floor boy, that wasn't a hit, don't be such a weakling.' He was standing over my mother, who lay on the ground, screaming in pain and something inside me snapped. I attacked, not with my wand, but with my bare hands. I hit him and hit him until I couldn't hit him any more and then I knew who I had to fight for. Some how I found my self fighting beside Dennis Creevey, I'd never paid much attention to him before but here we where, side by side, shooting of curses, trying to beat a mutual enemy, for me it was my father, every Death Eater had my father's face, that leer that he always had, that horrid voice dripping with distain, the ugly greased back hair. (A/N- Draco no longer greases his hair, sorry I forgot to mention it). I hated him more then anything in the world. And when a curse hit Dennis, a curse that was supposed to hit me, a curse he jumped in front of, they all had to die. And I killed them, it was the first time I'd killed anybody, but I had to, Dennis couldn't die for nothing, so I killed them, for me and for Dennis. I tried to save Dennis, after the battle but I was no healer there was nothing I could do. It's my fault he died, I'll admit that to anyone who asks, because I didn't see to him first, I should of helped him first. But I was to full of hate to do that.

This is the dream I have every night, it fills my mind until I can't take it anymore. I wake up in a cold sweat, shaking from head to toe. My uncle said I should stop punishing my self for something that was bound to happen. It was going to happen, I know it was, but I still can't help but think, if I had paid more attention, I could have blocked that curse, or even saved Dennis but I was careless and stupid. The story of my life I guess, carelessness and stupidity. Uncle says I'll get over, every one does, but I don't know. I visited his grave once, but I still don't feel as if it'll ever be enough, He gave his life for me, and he had so much to look forward to. I still don't understand why he was there; he was only a third year. When I asked Colin, he said that Dennis had followed him wanting to get in on the fight as well. Little did he know, little did any of us know what we where getting into. And here I am as well living with my uncle, the one I never knew about, the disgrace he calls himself, the one no one in my family wanted to talk about. It was something when he told me who he was, I didn't believe him at first, that was until he showed me the legal papers, so really I didn't have that much of a choice but to believe him. He'd never told me why the family despised him, saying it was none of my business. All I know is that he married someone who wasn't good enough quality for my family, and when she died they still didn't let him back in the family because they didn't know if he'd do something like that again, but I like him he's a cool guy. Ugg. I have to get up, breakfast and all, then Advanced History of Magic, and then all of my other advanced classes Potions, DADA, Ancient Runes, Archmancy, and then of course the required classes, Transfiguration and Charms. It'll be quite a day, again.

(New point of view (third person) a little earlier then Draco's part.)

"Sophie, come on, we gotta get going!" Loshea throw a pillow at her sister hoping to get her out of the bed she now occupied. "If you don't hurry you're not going to get at the bathroom. You're the one that wanted to go running so badly. And if you don't hurry we're not going to get to run and get ready in time."
"Losh, shut up. I'm getting up, geez, go do what ever it is you do in the morning and let me sleep."
"Hey I wasn't the one who decided that we had to run every morning."
"Ok, Ok, I'm coming." Sophie pulled herself out of bed and grabbed her running shoes. "Lets go."
On a mutual decision they decided to go around the lake where they, incidentally caught up to Dean Tomas and Seamus Finnigan, who where in a very good mood.
"Hey ladies!" Dean called, as they caught up to the girls, "nice day for a run don't you think."
"Just wonderful," Loshea said, rolling her eyes, running was not her favorite thing in the world but Sophie wanted to do it but she hated running alone, so Loshea went with her. "I've always wanted to go out sweating on a muggy morning around a giant lake."
"Don't mind her, she's always cranky when she runs" Sophie apologized 'be nice Losh, we have to spend all year with these guys, the best thing you could do is be civil.'
'Oh yeah, civil, right, I'll try to remember that.'
"So how you guys like Hogwarts so far?" Seamus asked.
"Well its ok so far, it's a really nice school, everyone so nice around here." Sophie replied, sensing that her sister wasn't going to talk until they stopped running and where slightly less, well, sweaty.
"That's just because the Slytherin's aren't here to ruin everyone's day, did you guys notice how there where no new Slytherins either, I guess they're all somewhere else, good riddance to bad rubbish, I say." Dean nodded curtly along with his statement.
"I take it they weren't the nicest lot around."
"That's an understatement. They were the worst human beings to ever walk the earth. I still can't believe that Harry's actually putting up with Malfoy, he was one of the worst of them."
"Draco was a Slytherin?" Loshea asked, curious all of the sudden.
"Yeah, and arse hole if there ever was one, I still don't see why he didn't leave like the rest of them, its not like anyone really wants him around here anyway." Seamus and Dean nodded, and Seamus continued "I mean even Neville seems to have forgiven him and he was especially bad to Neville and Hermione, but they both seem to think he's an alright guy, but we both know he's just bidding his time and will curse us all when we're asleep if given the chance. At least Ron agrees with us, but he says he has to give him a chance, for Hermione, what kind of crap is that." Sophie looked over at Loshea, and she could tell they where thinking the same thing. 'This school is so full of people who don't trust each other, it's a miracle they're all still alive.'
And that's when it happened. Sophie crumpled to her knee's scenes flashing before her eyes, while Loshea clamped her hands over her ears, as screams echoed around her brain. Dean and Seamus looked on, totally confused; they'd never seen anything like this before. Sophie had tears running down her cheeks as she saw person after person die before her eyes. For Loshea the screams grew louder, and then faded. She heard shouts of hatred and screams of pain, someone crying, begging for mercy. Sophie saw a fight, a battle, and someone crawling on their knees, tears in their eyes. She saw fangs dripping with blood, and a field of wheat. And then it ended as soon as it began. 'Losh?' Sophie felt weak, and drained. 'We have to tell dad.' Loshea's ears where ringing from the sounds, she had never heard such pain in her life. Dean and Seamus just stood there unsure of what to do. Loshea looked over at them, "Thanks for the run guys, it was fun." With that she helped her sister up, and together they walked back to the castle.
"That was really weird." Dean said as they began running again.
"What can you say, their American's." Seamus replied with a shrug.

Loshea pushed open the door to her father's office and she and Sophie walked in, leaning on each other. Samuel looked up, when he saw who it was, and the state they were in; he stood up immediately, closed the door and sat the two down.
"What happened?" He said in his best concerned father voice.
"Death, pain, fangs, wheat fields, tears, hate." Sophie muttered incoherently.
"Screams... Terrible screams. Some one in pain." Loshea responded.
Samuel nodded, "a vision. You girls need to calm down, I want you to write down every thing you saw and heard for me, and I'll show it to Professor Dumbledore." He gave them each a piece of parchment and a quill. And then went to make some tea. The twins each wrote like mad, and when they where done, their father took the paper replacing it with some tea. "Now drink this, it usually helps me when I've had a vision. Then you need to get to class." They nodded and drank the tea, "and girls, I'm glad you came to me." He kissed them both on the forehead, and went to his classroom, ready for his first class of the day.
"Losh?" Loshea could hear the tears in her sister's voice.
"Hey, hey, we don't know if it happened or if it's going to happen, so don't worry, have some tea, and just think about classes." Soothing the hair away from her sisters eyes Loshea could see how worried she was.
"It's going to happen, I could tell. I. I .. I saw Lavender and Dean, dieing. They had no way to protect themselves. I saw fangs covered in blood. It was horrible." Sophie burst in to tears. Their visions where usually very tame, just little things nothing too shocking, but this, this was awful. Loshea usual saw the visions because she understood the sights better, Sophie had never seen such stuff in her life. It scared her to death. Sophie tried to stop her shaking shoulders.
"Oh honey. I'm sorry; we can't control what happens, you know that. I'd have given anything to have the sights, but the sounds, it was. horrible." Loshea wrapped her arms around her sister, pulling her into a tight hug. "We've never experienced death. These people, they've experienced it, I mean if Dad's right over half of them have killed someone. We've only had Mom's death and we weren't even really involved in that."

         "You mean I wasn't involved in it, you wont tell me anything and you've blocked it from me, I don't even know how she died, because you wont tell me." Sophie shouted at her. Loshea looked down at the top of her sister's head.

         "I swore I'd never tell, before she died she made me promise, and no matter how much I want to tell you, I'm bound to that promise and we can't tell anyone about this, they'll never understand it. Ok honey, you know I love you right?" Sophie nodded her tears soaking Loshea's shirt. "Good, as long as you know that, we'll be fine. Come on, we've got to go to class, after that, we're going to come back here, and ask dad if he can take us out for some chocolate, Ok?" Sophie nodded again, wiping the tears from her checks.
"Lets go, we don't want to be late." Sophie stood, her back straight, totally confident again. The fact that Sophie could do that had always amazed her. Go from being totally distraught to cool and confident. That was the one thing Loshea could never do, her emotions weren't as easy to control, Sophie was the confident one, the one with a grip on her emotions, but Loshea was the one that could handle stress better, but her emotions where slightly less easy to handle. Her emotions rarely changed but when they did it was very drastic and she had a lot of trouble controlling it. Mostly she was rather placid.
Professor Binns was his usual old self, boring and unemotional about his topic. How anyone stood Advanced History of Magic no one really knew, they just did. The most resent event they're learning about is the Dragon Wars. Before they had all the information on dragons and got dragon specialists and keepers, like Charlie, Ron's brother, the dragons ran wild, just doing what they do, until people finally started capturing them, or killing them. They were getting some pretty grotesque details though; maybe that's why they took this course, all the fun stuff that they never got to hear before. Loshea was tempted to skip the class today; she didn't want to listen to Binns drone on and on about dragon mutilations and so on. It was just not her thing at that moment. So instead she pulled out her sketchbook, and started to draw, simple pictures, just of people in the class. Between her sister and herself they could make quite a book, Sophie writing and Loshea drawing, though Loshea did add in a few idea every so often and Sophie would draw a picture of two if she got the urge. Right now they are writing the story of their lives. With pictures and everything. Loshea looked over at Sophie, only to see her, her headphones on, and her eyes closed.
'Sophie, are you alright?' But she didn't answer, all Loshea heard was the soft playing of music in her ears. She'd fallen asleep or else she just wasn't thinking at all. And so Loshea zoned out as well for the rest of class.

"You need to rest Miss Granger. I'm sorry." Madame Pomfrey closed the curtain around Hermione's bed and walked away 'That poor girl' she thought 'having this though at her, she seemed so devastated.' As she was about to go into her office, she heard a commotion coming down the hall, toward the hospital wing.

         "What in the world." Poppy had never seen something so odd in life. Neville Longbottom walked into her hospital, not because he was injured but because he was carrying an unconscious red head in his arms.
"I don't know Madame Pomfrey, she just landed on me, muttered something and then collapsed." Neville looked rather calm for having a Weasley fall on him from the sky.
"It was the coolest thing Madame. Neville was showing me how to restrain a man eating plant so I could tell my aunt, when Ginny here, fell right into his out stretched arms, he didn't even drop her, just readjusted and headed for here. I'll warn you though the whole Gryffindor team is behind us. They'd just been practicing and she fell off her broom, right onto Neville. Lucky thing he was there to catch her, dontcha know." Jane Spencer, a talkative 5th year that adored Neville, rattled away to Madame Pomfrey as Neville placed Ginny on a bed.
"Did you hear what she said to you Mr. Longbottom?"
"No, I couldn't really hear her." Neville lied, not wanting to share what she'd had said, given it didn't really make that much sense.
"No! None of you can come in here; you can visit later when I've had a chance to examine her. Shoo! SHOO!" Madame Pomfrey waved her hands at the Gryffindor team, then prodded Neville and Jane out the door. "You two as well. You can come back later."
Poppy turned to look at the red head lying in the bed. 'What is wrong with you dear.' And with that she set to inspecting her newest patient.

Later that night

"Ginny. Ginny!!" Hermione throw a pillow at the girl in the bed next to her. Ginny sat up and glared.
"What Mione? I was having a wonderful dream."
"What happened, why're you here?" Hermione had been really curious for a long time and she just couldn't stand it anymore.
"I don't know, she wouldn't tell me, only that I was lucky and she was able to fix the problem. I do know she owled my parents and something was really wrong." Suddenly it dawned on her. "Why are you here, Hermione?"
"I. You don't want to know." Hermione hung her head so her hair fell in front of her face. She had it straightened over the summer so it now hung past her back.
"Mione, you can tell me, I wont tell, you know that, we've kept each other's secrets for years now. You know me." Ginny was really concerned for her friend. Mione had been in the hospital wing twice, once because she had grown fur, ears, whiskers, and a tail, and the other because she'd been petrified. And now she was here, even though she looked rather healthy.
"I had a… a… a… a miscarriage." Hermione buried her head in her hands, crying softly.
"Oh My God. Hermione does Ron know?" Ginny jumped out of bed and went over to Hermione, putting her arms around her.
"He knew I was pregnant. I mean we had it planned too, my mom knew so when I started to show, I'd go home and then come back after the baby was born, we were going to get married, after school ended. And now. oh this is all my fault."
"Was it his?" Ginny hated to ask but she had to be sure.
"Of course it was, what do you take me for Ginny. It was going to be so perfect and now he'll hate me."
"No he won't Ron's isn't that kind of guy. He'll love you no matter what. Trust me Hermione, I've know him longer. You guys can always try again, after your married."
"Well we were going to get married early for the babies sake. Now we can wait like we had planned, I mean he wanted to get a good job and buy a house first. And then it happened, and his parents understood, I mean that's what happened to them with Bill, at least that's what they said, and my parents well, dad wanted to kill Ron and mom, she just said that they'd help me. And now. they don't have to worry at all because it died, I killed it."
"Mione you can't control these things, I know, I'm taking the healing class, its not your fault, just relax, because from what I read it'll get painful if you stress your self to much. And it's not your fault. Trust me."
Hermione nodded, and relaxed against Ginny, she fell asleep like that, and Ginny did too, after a while.

The next day
Neville looked up when Ginny entered the Great Hall. She looked pale he decided. But he also decided that he had to ask her now or he'll never be able to do it. She sat down next to him and leaned her head on the table. After some hesitation Neville reached out and rubbed her back.
"Hmm. that feels great." Ginny sighed contently. Hermione wasn't ready to leave the hospital wing yet, but gave Ginny strict instructions on to send Ron to her as soon as possible.
"Are you ok Gin?"
"I'll be ok, thanks Neville, you're a doll." Ginny leaned over and kissed his cheek. "They say you're the one who saved me from cracking my head on my ground. Thanks!"
'Whoa.' was all Neville could think right then, then his sanity sort of took over, 'come on Neville pull your self together.'
"Um. Ginny?" She looked over while she buttered a peace of toast. "I was wondering if you, well, sense there's a Hogsmeade visit coming up, if you wanted to go with me?"
'YES!!!!!' Ginny's thought, 'he finally asked, god he can be so dense.'

        "Sure, it'll be fun." Ginny said out loud. Neville smiled.
"Great! I'll see you later, Gin." With that, he grabbed his stuff and exited the Great Hall. Ginny laughed and finished her breakfast.

A/N-What do you think, I am really nervous about this chapter, you have to review and tell me how good/bad I did. I hope you like it. And you can't find out about Ginny till later, you'll be shocked, (I will be too, I don't know what happened yet.) And the Hermione thing, that's been in my mind for a long, long time. REVIEW!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!! I'm not writing anymore, until at least three more people review, I'm not to picky, three is good for me. But I want suggestions so I know what you guys want to happen.
