Chapter four

"I had a really odd dream last night, it was so vivid, I thought it was real." Claire told her friends over breakfast.

"Well, whaf was id abou'?" Ron asked through a mouthful of toast, Hermione glared at him.

"I was running through the woods as fast as I could, trying to get away from a group of people. In the dream I knew exactly who they were but I don't now," Claire told them, "then when I turned to see how close they were a giant hand came through the trees and grabbed them, I wasn't afraid because I knew whose hand it was too. Then I finally got out of the forest and ran up to the castle - this castle - and when I opened the door someone was standing there, they said 'Welcome back Claire' and hit me with a spell. That's when I woke up."

"Wow." Harry said, "Sounds a little like the dreams I used to have. Running through the darkness. Being chased. Getting hit with spells. Maybe it's because of what happened while you were gone or something, you're having nightmares because of the experience, even though you don't remember the experience..."

"That's stupid Harry" Ron said as he scooped some scrambled eggs onto his plate.

"Actually, what Harry's saying makes a lot of sense." Hermione said, "I've heard about that sort of thing happening in the muggle world. Someone goes through a traumatic experience, so traumatic that their brain forces them to forget it but they still have dreams about it. Although, in this case your brain didn't force you to forget, someone else did. But it's the same concept."

"Yeah," Claire agreed, "that does make sense."

"You should ask Dumbledore about it," Harry told her, "he'll probably know more about it."

"Okay, I'll do that." Claire said.

"Yes... I see..." Dumbledore said after Claire explained her dream and what her friends had said. They were sitting in the vacant classroom, Dumbledore had found some new spells to try to get her memory back.

"So," Claire said a little impatient, "what do you think? Is Hermione right?"

"It's a possibility. I believe that maybe our little experiments in trying to get your memory back may be working after all."

"What do you mean? I don't remember a thing."

"Not consciously... but unconsciously, I believe you might. I believe that the dream you had may have actually been a memory of the night you returned."

"You think so?" Claire said hopeful.

Dumbledore nodded, "Yes. And I think that all of our attempts at getting your memory back may have weakened the memory charm enough and let you remember, in the form of a dream."

"That's great." Claire said. "Do you think we could get my memory back fully?"

"I guess we'll just have to find out." He replied as he pulled out his wand.

Year Three

I heard that a man named Sirius Black is loose. He's said to have killed thirteen people, twelve muggles and a wizard named Peter Pettigrew. All they found of Peter was one of his fingers. I think that's really horrible. Why would someone do such a thing?

Anyway, Sirius was sent to the wizard prison, Azkaban, for life but escaped. No one's ever escaped before, it's a really horrible place with guards called Dementors. Those things give me the creeps. On the train we got stopped and a few of those things came on. Harry kinda fainted, Malfoy's still bugging him about that, that jerk.

They say Black is coming to get Harry. Although there's no way he can get him here, especially with Dumbledore around. There's just no way...

... Somehow Black got into the castle, he tried to get into our tower but when the fat lady wouldn't let him through without a password he slashed at her. We were all down at dinner at the time. I just can't believe it. How could he get in, and away? He got away! Maybe Hogwarts isn't as safe as I thought...

...we had a huge party last night because of the Quidditch match. It was awesome, then McGonagall had to ruin it and send us all to bed. A couple hours later we heard a yell, a few of us rushed down to the common room to see what was wrong. Black had broken into the boys dormitory trying to get Harry, he found Ron instead who yelled and scared him off. I don't get it though, if he's a murderer why didn't he just kill Ron and continue to Harry? I'm really glad he didn't though... I don't think I'd be able to stand losing Ron...

...That was the most shocking night of my life. Sirius Black is Harry's godfather, he didn't murder those people, Pettigrew did. And Pettigrew had been hiding out as Scabbers all along. Amazing. After all that Sirius was caught so Harry and Hermione used a time turner to go back and rescue him and Buckbeak. I wish I could've gone with them but I had to stay back with Ron, his leg was broken and I twisted my ankle really badly while running from Lupin when he turned into that werewolf. Thank goodness Sirius was there...

Year Four

THE TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT. It's so cool! And we have students from two other schools, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons staying here throughout the year. They had this Goblet of Fire choose the students who will compete, Viktor Krum from Durmstrang (I saw him at the Quidditch World Cup!), Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons (I heard she's part Veela), Cedric Diggory in Hufflepuff (he deserves it, Hufflepuff barely gets anything). But then it also sent out Harry's name! Not only is he too young but there's only supposed to be three champions, and DEFINITELY not two from the same school. I hope he'll be all right, he seemed really scared about it... and now Ron's mad at him. It's horrible. I can't stand to see them fight...

...Ron still won't speak to Harry. Hermione's been spending a lot of time with Harry though, I've been spending a lot of time with Ron. I've never really talked to Ron a whole lot, I've never been as good of friends as I have with Hermione, that's for sure. But I've really been getting to know him lately. We've been talking a lot and I think... I'm really starting to like him. He's really nice, when he's not being stubborn (like now, refusing to speak to Harry), and he is kinda funny. We've been having a great time together. He's really great...

...Today was the first task. I was so worried for Harry. They had to fight dragons. When I found out I almost fainted, I was so worried. He did really well though. I'm so glad he's all right. They had to retrieve a golden egg from the dragon, using only their wands. Harry used accio to summon his broom, then he did some really great flying and got it right from under the dragon's nose. Brilliant. Afterward we all went to see Harry, to make sure he was all right. Ron finally apologized, he said he had just been jealous and he was stupid for getting so angry. I'm so glad they're friends again. Yay...

...There's going to be a ball! I'm so excited, it's the Yule Ball, and everyone in fourth year and up gets to go. It's tomorrow already. Harry and Ron waited too long to get dates so Harry's going with Parvati and Ron's going with her sister Padma, in Ravenclaw. Hermione's going with Krum (but the guys don't know that yet). Ginny gets to go to! Neville invited her. Yay. And who am I going with? A boy from Beauxbatons invited me. He's really nice and kind of cute. I kinda wish Ron had asked me though...

...The ball was great. I had a wonderful time with Hermione, Viktor and Mathieu (my date). I asked Ron to dance once but he was too busy complaining about Hermione being a traitor, he didn't seem too happy about me going with a Beauxbatons student either. So I just ignored him and danced with a bunch of guys. It was so much fun. I danced with Mathieu of course but I also danced with a couple other Beauxbatons guys and a few from Durmstrang. And at one point Fred and George decided to make me dance with them. They convinced me to join them in the Chicken Dance. It was hilarious!...

...My goodness I haven't written in a while! Harry's gone through the second task already and he's doing the third in a few days! He passed through the second task fine, although I was kind of lonely in the stands, watching it. They had to rescue the thing most important to them from mermaids in the lake. And just my luck, the thing most important to Krum was Hermione and the thing most important to Harry was Ron. So I had no one to sit with. Malfoy seemed to find that very funny, he was laughing at me from a few rows behind. So I hit him with the first spell that came to mind... which just happened to be Diffindo. Diffindo splits an object in half, when it hit him his pants ripped right down the middle, I laughed so hard! So did everyone around me. Too bad Harry, Ron, and Hermione missed that, they would've loved it. Unfortunately Snape saw me do it and gave me detention... I spent five hours scrubbing old cauldrons in his office that night. Yuck...

...You-Know-Who is back! When Harry and Cedric touched the Triwizard Cup after the last task they were transported to a graveyard where Cedric got killed and You-Know-Who got revived. Luckily Harry got away alive. It's horrible though... You-Know-Who being back. Who knows what'll happen...

"You're really flying through that book, aren't you?" Harry asked Claire over breakfast a few days later.

"Well, it's so interesting, I just can't help it." Claire told them. They discussed her third and fourth years for a while, filling in the gaps Claire hadn't mentioned in her diary.

While Harry and Ron were busy eating and discussing Quidditch a short while later, Claire quietly asked Hermione a question. "In my diary, it's looking like I was started to like Ron, a lot. Did you know about that?"

"Oh, of course. I was the only one who knew about that!" Hermione replied, whispering.

"Does he know about that?" Claire asked, glancing at Ron.

"Yes... he knows that very well." Hermione told her, a smile forming on her face.

"And what has he said about it?"

"What has who said about what?" Ron asked, interrupting them.

"Claire just asking about you and her." Hermione said casually, filling him in. Claire turned red and Ron stiffened.

"What do you mean?" he asked slowly.

"She said that in her diary she was starting to get the impression that she had a bit of a crush on you and she wondered if you knew about that. I told her that you know very well about that..."

"You didn't tell her anything else did you?" he asked hurriedly, a little red in the face.

"No," Hermione replied, a little shocked at his reaction.

"Good." he said, "and don't." he stood and left.

Claire watched him leave and turned back to Hermione, "What...?"

Hermione sighed, "I guess he's not ready for you to know yet..."

"Know what?"

"I'm sure you'll find out eventually," Harry told her, "Whether you read it in your diary, get your memory back, or he tells you himself. I just think it's better that we don't tell you..."

Hermione nodded in agreement.

"Okay." Claire said, before she stood up and went to meet Dumbledore.

That night she had another dream...

"I want you to stop this! I'm shocked you even did that! You didn't even ask me!" he yelled at her.

"It's MY hair! I can do what I want with it, I don't have to ask you! Besides, you said you liked it when I showed you!" she screamed right back.

"I didn't want to hurt your feelings!"

"What do you think you're doing now! You lied to me!"

"I didn't want to hurt you." he said again, backing off a little.

"Well it's a little too late for that!" she yelled at him, she turned and ran out the huge front doors and into the darkness outside.

"You'll be back!" she heard him call after her as she ran.

She didn't know where she was going, she just had to get away. She couldn't take it anymore.

She soon found herself coming to the edge of the forest, she began to run into them when something hit her and she fell. She tried to get up and realized her arms were tightly tied to her sides. She struggled to break free but couldn't.

"Perfect..." she heard a man say, just to her left. She glanced over at him and saw who it was... she started to scream, but before she could he had sent another spell at her, silencing her. She tried to scream, tried to break free, tried to get away, to get help. But it was no use.

Claire woke up sweating. "Don't tell me that was a memory too..." she mumbled to herself, "if it was... I don't think I want to remember any more..."
