Chapter 5: The Nightmare & Realizations
'So, you've managed to escape me Colleen. You're Mudblood mother thought she could save you & your brother! Hehehe! You'll never escape me!'
Colleen woke up and wiped the sweat from her brow. She let her eyes adjust to the darkness. The surroundings of the room started to become more and more familiar. That's was the only thing she had different than Harry-she had 20/20 vision. She heard Hermione scream and ran over.
"Hermione! You OK?" Colleen asked, seeing the tears well up in her friend's eyes.
"Colleen! I was so scared! I thought I lost him," Hermione cried, falling into a fit of tears.
"Head to the study, I'll go get my brother," Colleen said exiting the room and heading to the stairs. She sat on the banister and slid down.
"HARRY! MATT!" she screamed, jumping off the railing. Harry exited his room first.
"Colleen?" he asked, putting his glasses onto his face.
"Yeah, it's me! The one and only Colleen Potter! But no time for introductions, Hermione needs your help," she said and ran towards her brother.
"What's wrong?" he asked
"Just make like a hockey player and get the puck outta here!" she screamed.
"Colleen?" Matt asked groggily from his doorway. Colleen didn't realize that Harry and Matt were only in their boxers; if she did she would have either laughed or blushed furiously.
"COME ON!" She said grabbing the guys' hands. They ran up the stairs and into the study.
"Harry! That was so scary! I couldn't help you! Don't leave," Hermione cried into Harry's bare chest.
"Shhhh, it's ok, I'm here, I promise I'll never leave" Harry comforted
"Did you have the same dream?" Matt asked Colleen, not realizing she was still holding his hand.
"Yeah, well sort of. It was so weird, there was this weird raspy voice, and a malicious laugh, I don't think I've heard anything for hateful," Colleen said, her eyes misty. A single tear ran down her cheek.
"Come here, don't cry," Matt said hugging Colleen. She let a few tears escape onto his bare chest. Matt blushed.
"I miss them. I want to see them, give them a hug, and have them comfort me when I'm not having a good day. I want my parents!" Colleen sobbed.
'She's gone through so much, I feel selfish that I have both parents and a loving extended family. Colleen has only Harry left' Matt thought, inhaling the scent of Colleen's hair.
'This is where I'm supposed to be. God! He's so strong. Oh! He's got a 6- pack! I've found my man' Colleen thought. She smiled into his chest. "Yes! Thank you God!" Colleen whispered into Matt's chest.
They sat there, in the comfort of each other's arms for what seemed only moments. Harry and Hermione were heading out the door, but Harry had to make sure that Morgan was OK. He turned around and started to say something. When he saw Colleen in Matt's arms, he decided to wait till morning.
"Take care of her, she's my only sister, I couldn't bear to see her get hurt," Harry whispered to Matt. Matt winked and continued to stroke Colleen's long auburn hair.
Harry walked his Hermione back to her room. She had stopped crying…for now.
"Harry?" she whispered
"Yea?" Harry said, looking at her.
"Let's just say, I was pregnant, which I'm not so don't worry, what would you do?" Hermione asked, sitting Indian style on her bed.
"I don't know, I know I wouldn't do anything negative though," Harry said "Now please get some sleep?"
"OK" Hermione said as she climbed under the covers
"Sweet dreams, baby"
"G'night"
Matt was still holding Colleen in his arms way past midnight.
"Colleen, babe, time to go to sleep," Matt said holding onto her shoulders.
"Ok, thanks Matt," Colleen said "Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry; your chest is so soaked!"
"A few tears won't hurt me," he joked. Colleen smiled weakly. Matt stood up and stretched his arms. He was clad in only a pair of green and grey plaid boxers. Colleen looked up and down, eyeing the masculine figure. She blushed when he caught her eyes. He smiled, he like when she did that.
Colleen stood up and stuck her tongue out at him. She was wearing gray Capri pj bottoms that hadquaffles on them. She was wearing a matching gray tank-top that said (on the front) "Chaser Girls..." with a largeQuaffle with lip prints, (on the back) "Do It Better." Matt smiled and blushed slightly.
"What don't like my pajamas?" Colleen said smiling.
"No…It's just…You look…Um…" Matt stuttered.
"I look what?" Colleen asked.
"Gorgeous," Matt murmured, touching her cheek.
"You think I'm gorgeous…you want to kiss me…you want to hug me…you want to love me…you want to smooch me… " Colleen sang. Matt started to walk away smiling. Colleen pulled him back to face her. He stopped just as his face was inches from hers.
