Chapter 10- Breakdown

Harry sat in herbology making an effort to pay attention, he closed his eyes, he thought about his previous nightmares.

"Ahh!" Alana screamed in torture, blood was in her eyes.

"No!" Harry yelled seeing a knife in Alana's back.

Harry opened his eyes and touched his scar it started to burn.

"Harry" Brian said as they left Herbology.

"Hey" Harry said tiredly.

"I think I have some information you might want" Brian said.

"What's that?" Harry said.

"I heard Crabbe and Goyle in front of the great hall yesterday talking about Faith, she has a partner" Brian said.

"Why should I trust you" Harry said.

"You don't, but if you want to keep the ones you care about safe, you would do anything you can" Brian said looking over at Alana entering the great hall.

"Yes" Harry thought.

"Good luck, Harry" Brian said sternly walking in.

Harry walked into the Great Hall he heard whispers as he sat down.

"Harry did you sleep" Hermonine asked concerned.

"How can I, it's too quiet for the last month" Harry said looking at the Slytherin table.

"We need proof that's its Faith" Alana said rubbing her boyfriend's back.

"I need to head to Little's class" She said to Harry.

"Seamus can you walk her to class" Harry asked.

"What! Harry, it's just upstairs" Alana said angrily.

"Don't you think I know that" Harry roared causing the Gryffindor table to stare at him.

"Just take it down a noch, don't follow me" Alana said to Seamus, storming out. Harry made a fist noticing Faith watching Alana walk away.

"She's going to do something," Harry said.

"Harry let's go up to the common room," Hermonine said carefully helping her friend up.

Brian watch Harry and Hermonine walk passed the Hufflepuff table; he nodded to Faith who started to follow Alana.

"Where's Little" Alana said ready to blow off some steam.

"He cancel today, I was looking forward to that blades lesson," Lynn said.

"I need to punch something," Alana said as they sat outside the defense room.

"I heard Harry's becoming paranoid," Lynn said.

"To put it mildly, I don't know what's going on with him" Alana said as Lynn got up.

"I need to meet Michael, he's passing that potions quiz even if I have to do it for him. I'll see you at dinner" Lynn said walking away.

Alana got up as well as she walked towards the staircase. Faith was close by. The staircase changed moving towards a closet.

"Oh Dammit"Alana said holding on.

"Hello there" Faith said pushing her inside.

"What do you want?" Alana said.

"I'm not a child Hermonine" Harry said as they entered the common room.

"You need to sleep Harry, this isn't helping anyone. Tell Alana about the dreams" Hermonine said.

"No, no it would just worry her I have to keep her safe" Harry said as Kara entered the common room.

"Class was canceled, I'm taking a nap" Kara said.

"Where's Alana" Harry said.

"I know the last time I saw her she was talking to Lynn outside" Kara said walking away.

"Why isn't she back" Harry said concerned.

"Harry relax nothing is happening" Hermonine said watching Harry finger his wand. His scar started to burn.

"I heard your handy with a sword' Faith said quickly taking out a dagger pointing at Alana's neck.

"You'll regret that" Alana said taking out her sword, disarming Faith. She grabbed her right shoulder from behind and raised the sword to her neck.

"You do that again, or anything else to me or Harry, you'll be with your mother soon" Alana said pushing her out of the room.

Faith struggled to gain her composure as a few first years watched her and Alana leave the room. They saw Alana's sword.

Alana quickly sheathed it and said "Remember what I said Faith, get out of here"

"That was awesome" a boy said as Alana walked passed.

"Is Alana here" Todd said running into the common room.

"No" Hermonine said as Harry sat up.

"A boy from Ravenclaw said he saw Faith pushing Alana into one of the closets as the stairs changed" Todd said.

Harry took out his communication parchment and wrote "Alana?"

Harry waited to an answer, he looked frantic starting to sweat.

"Harry I just wanted to tell you, maybe it's not true" Todd said watching Harry.

"She would be here by now," Harry yelled.

"Just go Todd, tell the guys not to come down," Hermonine said as Harry looked at the door.

"Faith's silent partner" Harry said coldly.

"Who?" Hermonine asked.

"Faith has a silent partner, they're behind this. They're coming here," Harry said.

"Harry enough, your being paranoid!" Hermonine said not knowing what to do.

He took out his wand, "I'm going to be ready". Harry pointed his wand at the door. He heard footsteps, it sounded like heels.

"That's Faith" Harry said coming closer to the door. "Trying to play with my head, catch me off guard. She's on her way up. I'm going to catch her"

"Harry you can't do this" Hermonine said trying to take the wand from him.

"Move!" Harry said pushing Hermonine on the ground. She got up as Harry opened the door.

"Don't move!" Harry yelled pointing his wand at the intruder, Alana screamed.
