Chapter 7

The dreams got worse and worse by each night. Anna tried to ignore them as she tried to figure out a way to get away from them. She tried to stay by Harry but was afraid that if she did, it would make things worse.

It was another Hogsmede and Harry, Anna, Hermione, and Ron went out to go shopping and look around. It was just another Saturday to waste. Harry and Ron went off together and Hermione and Anna went off together.

"So how is it going with you two?" Hermione asked as the two girls look through one of the book shops. "Its going fine I guess, besides with the dreams. I haven't told him."

"Why not? He might be able to help you." Hermione said picking up one of the books off the shelves to look at. "He already has enough to deal with. He doesn't need my problems as well." Anna said following Hermione around.

"How long have you two been dating mate?" Ron asked as him and Harry looked around the quidditch shop. "It will be five months tomorrow." Harry said looking around a one of the brooms. "Already five months?" Harry nodded. "And that is why I am here in Hogsmede, I need to look for something for her. Ron nodded.

Anna was doing the same thing. She just didn't know what Harry would like. The two girls walked around and found a jewelry store and Anna looked in the shop window and found this beautiful gold and diamond locket.

"Hermione come and look at this." She came over and looked. "Wow this is pretty." "Yeah I know. Its too much though." Anna said a bit disappointed. "Yeah I know lets go."

Her and Hermione walked around and finally walked out into the street and meet Harry and Ron there.

"Hey did you guys find anything interesting?" Anna asked. "No not really just some brooms." Harry answered. Anna was thinking about something and got an idea. "Hey Ron, can you come with me and help me look for something?"

Ron looked at her and nodded. "Yeah sure." Anna looked over at Hermione and averted her eyes towards Harry so she would get the idea of what she wanted Ron for. Hermione caught the drift.

"Yeah Harry, You and me can go look around for some books." Hermione said practically dragging him away. Ron looked at them confused Harry and Hermione walk away. "I need your help and you must promise me to keep this a secret." Anna said as soon as she was sure Harry was out of hearing range.

"Yeah I promise, what is it?" I need to find Harry something for our anniversary. What does he like?"

Ron nodded. "He likes quidditch." "Alright" and with that Anna dragged him off to the quidditch shop.

"Hey Hermione, can you help me with picking out something for Anna?" "Yeah sure." Harry smiled as they walked around to look for something that she might like.

"Did anything catch her eye as you two were walking around?" Harry asked trying to get an idea. "Yeah buts it too much money." Hermione looked at him. "What is it?" "It's a gold diamond locket."

Harry thought about it. "Show me where it is." With that Hermione showed him it.

Meanwhile Ron and Anna were in the quidditch store. "This is crazy. I mean I cant find anything that he might like." She looked around at the brooms and all of the were too much money and plus he already had a good one.

She walked over to the other side of the store. There was a lot of bracelets, necklaces and other types of things.

She found necklaces that had a quaffle, snitch, and a broom. The band on it was made of beads that were the colors of the houses in Hogwarts. Anna found one that was brown and gold. Perfect. 'He will love this and plus I have enough money for it!.'

She bought it and hide it in her pocket when her and Ron walked out.

Harry and Hermione were walking back out to the streets to and they met up with eachother again. "Hey we should head back now." Ron said. They all headed back to the castle.

That night Anna was in the common room reading. Ron, Harry, and Hermione were still eating down at the great hall. She was so interested in her book she didn't notice someone come in.

"Guess who." Anna laughed when Harry came in and covered her eyes. She put her hands on his and brought them down and turned her head to looked at him. "Hey." "Hey you." he said as he kissed her.

They both smiled at each other and he sat down next to her. "Here." Harry said handing Anna a small box. Anna looked at him weird. "Open it." Anna nodded and opened it.

She couldn't believe it. It was the gold diamond necklace she wanted. "Harry, how in the world...why did you...how did you get the money for this?" She asked while looking at the necklace.

"Well Hermione tipped me off about you wanting it. So I bought it for you. Look inside."

Anna looked at him amazed and opened it. On one side of it, it had a picture of Harry and Anna at Halloween. She had her arms wrapped around his neck and they were both laughing.

Anna looked at it remembering that day. Then on the other side of the locket had their initials engraved into it. H.P.+A..S. She looked at him. "Harry you really didn't have to buy this for me, but I love it." "I knew you would." He said as he kissed her again.

"Here is yours." She handed him his gift and he opened it. "This is so cool. Where did you find this?" Harry said putting the necklace around his neck. "At a store." She said smiling.

"Ha, Ha very funny." He said. "Yeah I thought so." Anna said laughing a bit. So they both stayed up the night just talking enjoying each others company.

They both finally went to bed and that night and Anna was still having those dreams. This time they were worse. Much worse.

"You can't run from what you were meant to do. You can't run from what you were born to do." "No! Get away from me!" "You know what you have to do. Now do it!" Anna looked around and saw who was talking to her very clearly.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Anna screamed.

She shot straight up in the bed sweating and scared. "No he can't make me do this." She said breaking down. She looked over at her dresser and saw the locket Harry had gotten her.

She broke down even more.

About 3 weeks later it was still the same thing. Dreams that scared her to death. She didn't tell anyone yet, she didn't want to. She kept thinking about a way to get out of it safely there was only one way.

Through out her classes, Anna was still scared to death. The only person who knew about the dreams was Hermione but she didn't know about the dreams. Anna couldn't tell Harry because she didn't want him to worry about her.

During her morning classes she ignored Harry. She didn't want him to ask questions. Harry was a bit afraid that she didn't like him anymore. So he decided to talk to Hermione about it.

He found her outside by the lake. "Hey Hermione, can I ask you something?" "Yeah sure." Harry sat next to her. "Well it's about Anna. She has been ignoring me all day."

She looked at him knowing what the problem was. "This isn't going to be easy to tell you Harry."

"I knew it. She wants to break up with me." Harry said in a depressing tone. "No its not that." Hermione said laughing a little at him. Harry looked at her relieved.

"Then what is it?" Harry looked at her. "Well I don't know if she wants you to know." Harry just looked at her. "I am her boyfriend, why doesn't she want me to know?"

"She doesn't want you to worry about her." "Well I am worried about her now. She is hiding something from me." Harry said despite to hear what was wrong.

"Well... for the past few months she has been having these dreams. I don't know what they are. She wont tell me." Hermione explained.

"Dreams? Kind of like mine? When I saw things?" Last year, Harry had weird dreams. It was kind of like he was seeing the future, or what was happening at that moment.

"I don't know. She wont tell me. All I know is that every night she has been screaming in her sleep. It scared her to death. She hasn't been able to get a good nights sleep in months."

Harry looked at her. "She hasn't? Why didn't she tell me about this. I could of helped her." "Like I said Harry, she doesn't want you to worry." Hermione looked at him.

"I have to go and talk to her." Harry said as he got up. "No. Your not suppose to even know about this. Just give her some time. If she wants you to know about it she will come and find you." Hermione said.

Harry looked at her taking in her words. "You can't be pushy with her. Otherwise that will make you lose her." This finally made Harry sit down.

"Your right I guess. Why doesn't she trust me enough to tell me about this?" Harry asked her.

"Its not that she doesn't trust you, she just doesn't want to worry you with what's bothering her. She told me she doesn't want you to worry about it when you have enough to deal with now." Hermione said trying to get him to understand.

Harry nodded. "How can I help her though if she doesn't tell me anything?" Hermione just shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know."

Meanwhile Anna was in the common room trying to figure out a way to get out of her situation. "I don't want to hurt him. I don't want to kill him."

She sat down on the couch with her head in her hands. 'You can't change what you were meant to do.' She heard the voice again.

"Leave me alone. I won't do it!" Anna said as she got up and walked out of the common room not knowing where she was going.

She didn't care where she was going. She just had to get away from that voice. She got down to the fifth floor of the castle and ran into someone she last expected.

"Oh this is strange. Smith isn't around her precious boyfriend, the no good potter." Anna looked up and saw Malfoy and slapped him hard across the face.

"Don't you ever talk about him like that!" Malfoy looked at her shocked that he was actually slapped by a gryffindor. This got him ticked.

"You should know better and know how to respect your superiors." "Or what are you going to do to her?" Harry came up behind him.

Anna saw him and was so grateful he always showed up at the right time. Malfoy turned around and glared at Harry.

"If I even wanted to do anything to her she would deserve every bit of it." Harry just looked at him. "Oh and its not like you egged her on or anything."

Harry said this as he moved closer to Anna but still keeping an eye on Malfoy. "Look just get out of here."

Malfoy glared at both of them. "Your lucky Potter is around here to protect you Smith." With that he left.

Harry turned around to her. "You okay?" "Yeah I am fine." Anna answered in a dull voice thinking about the dream.

Harry took this chance to see what was bugging her.

"What is wrong with you lately? I mean lately you have been ignoring me and hardly ever talking to me. Its like you have been avoiding me."

Anna looked at him a bit scared. "Its nothing, really." "Then why have you been avoiding me?" Harry said this getting a bit worried about her.

Anna didn't know what to say or do. She didn't want him to know. Harry looked at her. "Look I know something is wrong."

Anna looked at him. "I have to go." With that she ran pass Harry and back up to the common room and up to her dorm.

Harry looked at her run not knowing what to do.

Anna sat on her bed. "I have to do something otherwise I am going to hurt him." She started walking around her room. "I have to break up with him." She started crying at the very thought.

"I can't break up with him but then if I do I wont be around him to hurt him. That's the only way." She sat on her bed trying to figure out another way but there wasn't.

Later that day Harry went and found Hermione again. "There is definitely something wrong with her. Something is bugging her."

Hermione looked at him. "Now what happened?" "I tried talking to her and she just left." Harry said. Hermione looked at him not knowing what to say.

"I guess just give her some space. If she wants you to know she will tell you." Harry started walking around. "This is going to be bugging me you know that?"

Hermione nodded a bit. "I know its going to bug you but its something you have to live with." Harry looked at her and sighed.

It was time for dinner and Anna went to the Great Hall to eat. She saw Harry and thought of what she was going to tell him after dinner. This was going to hurt her so much.

They ate dinner in silence. She kept glancing over at Harry. She wanted so much to find a different way, but there wasn't.

They finished eating. 'Oh god its time. I can't do this.' She sighed a little and got up. "Harry can we go out in the hallway?" Harry looked at her. "Yeah sure."

They both walked out into the hallway. "Harry we have to talk." Harry looked at her uncertain. "What is it?"

"Its us." Anna couldn't look at him. Harry got a cold feeling all over his body. "Us?" Anna nodded. God this was hurting her.

"I think we should see other people." She said this while trying to hold back tears that threatened to run out. Harry looked at her shocked. "What?"

"I don't think this is working out." She said this in a weak voice. She already had tears starting to go down her face. Harry didn't know what to do.

"Why...Why isn't this working out?" Harry asked scared. "I just think we shouldn't be together anymore. It doesn't feel the same." Anna said.

She wanted more than anything to tell him it was all a lie and that she loved him. She wanted to run to him and hug him and never let go.

She couldn't. She had to stay there and pretend to not love him anymore and break his heart. She hated seeing him hurt.

"So you don't love me anymore?" Harry asked. His feelings were running wild. He didn't know if he felt sad or mad or anything. He felt empty.

Anna nodded her head. 'Harry this is all a lie!' She wanted to scream that to him but she had to save him. She had to save him from her.

Harry didn't know what to say. He just looked at her and walked right passed her to go to the common room. He was hurt and didn't want to talk to her.

Anna just watched him walk off. As he walked away it felt like a piece of her walked away with him. She ran outside and cried.

Harry went up to the common room and found Hermione there. "Hey Harry." "You told me she didn't want to break up with me!" Harry said a bit more forcefully then he wanted to.

"What are you talking about?" Hermione asked not knowing what was going on. "She broke up with me." With that he went up to his dorm.

Later that night she came back up to the common room and straight up to her room. Hermione saw that she was crying. "Anna do you want to talk about it?"

She didn't answer and just crawled into bed. Hermione didn't push it.

Harry was in the same state. He was up in the boys dorm when Ron came in. "Hey Harry, what's the matter?" Harry just gave him a look and buried himself in the covers of his bed.

That night, Anna was still having the dreams but this time they were different.

She was in a dark room. It was cold and damp. She looked around for a way to get out.

"Harry? Help me." She looked around.

She couldn't find him anywhere. She was scared. "Harry isn't here to help you now" She looked around desperate to find a way out.

"You are running away from me Anna. I will find a way to get to him. Mark my words Anna."

She woke up sweating. By this time she had gotten use to the dreams. This one was different though. She looked around to see the rest of the girls all asleep.

She laid her head back down and went back to sleep.
