Caroline sat up very quickly in her bed as though something had jabbed her in the side. She looked to her right side and saw Ginny, piles of red hair covering her face, quietly asleep on the cot next to hers. She looked to her left and saw Hermione, her brown, bushy, hair pulled into two neat braids down her back, snoring lightly.
Caroline continued to look around the small room, straining her eyes to see what had caused her to wake up. A sudden chill came over Caroline. She whipped her head in the direction of the window and saw that the curtains were blowing every so gently.
"It's summer" muttered Caroline to herself in amazement. England was an extremely weird country when it came to temperature.

Harry jumped and sat up quickly, knocking his head on the upper bunk of Ron's new bed.
"Owww" said Harry as he gingerly rubbed his head.
Ron shifted in his bed and let out a loud snort.
Harry strained his eyes in an effort to see what had woken him up. There was nothing in the room, from what he could see without his glasses.
Harry grabbed his wand from the drawer next to the bunk and rose from the bed quietly and slowly, his wand pointing directly out in front of him.
"Who is there?" he said in a loud whisper.
A cold chill reached his neck and he whipped around so quickly that he slipped and fell flat on his bum.
"Owww" moaned Harry in pain
He looked up to see the small window wide open, the shutters thrown back. A chilly breeze came in through the window.
"Odd" said Harry. He thought that he remembered Ron closing the window the night before.
Harry rose and closed the window. He latched them tightly and made sure that no one, not even God, could open the window.
A large crash of pots and pans issued from the kitchen followed by a scream from a girl.
Harry jumped; Ron did not move a muscle.
Harry opened the bedroom door and entered the corridor. He ran down the creaky stairs, making a lot of noise. He reached the kitchen and said in a whisper "Luz en mia cucina". Light flooded the room and Harry saw Caroline sitting on the floor, her eyes wide open and staring, as if in a trance, a broken glass and a puddle of milk next to her.
Harry leaned down and touched Caroline gently on the shoulder.
"Caroline" he said softly, his green eyes staring into her dark eyes.
She stirred as if awoken from a dream.
"Is she still here?" said Caroline in a panicky voice. Her eyes were whipping around the room violently as if searching for an unknown intruder.
"Whom?" said Harry gently.
"It was so real" said Caroline as she gave up her search for the non- existent intruder.
Caroline stared at Harry who was giving her a happy yet blank look as if to say "what was so real?"
"I had a vision" said Caroline as it came back to her
"I've never had one like this before. It came to me without my asking for it. I did not summon any spirits or anything."
Harry looked at Caroline. He had never seen her like this before. Hey normally rosy cheeks were pale and colorless, and her dark, beautiful eyes, were dull and life less.
"Are you alright?" said Harry
"I need to mail Dumbledore Harry" she said with no regard to Harry's question.
"If my vision is telling the truth, like it usually does, you and I are in grave danger. They want to hurt us" finished Caroline, her eyes watering. Caroline turned away from Harry in an attempt to keep him from seeing her tears.
Harry's face contorted with anger. He pulled Caroline towards him and held her closely.
"No one is going to do anything to us" he said softly yet decisively.
"I wish we could control these things" she said.
Caroline smiled at him and then looked at the floor surrounding them.
"Damn" she said "I made a huge mess"
"I'll help you clean it up" said Harry
"That's alright, I'll do it the easy way, if you don't mind" she said as she waved her hand.
The milk disappeared and the broken glass repaired and washed itself. It went back to it's proper resting place amongst the other dishes, which were scattered about from Caroline's momentary lapse of control.
Harry stared at her.
"You did not use a wand" he said in awe.
"Please, do not tell anyone. Only Hermione knows and I would prefer if no one else knew what I can do" she said in a pleading tone.
"I won't tell unless you say that it is okay" he replied as they walked back towards the bedrooms.
"And please do not mention the visions either" said Caroline "I don't want to worry anyone. I'll tell Mr. And Mrs. Weasley in the morning and I am going to send an owl to Professor Dumbledore right now."
Harry smiled and they said good night to each other.
"If you need anything, Caroline, just come wake me up. I don't mind, really"
Caroline nodded and entered Ginny's bedroom. Harry stared at her and sighed. He knew he wasn't going to be able to sleep tonight.
