The Gryffindors Talk
That night while most of the school was eating dinner, half of the Gryffindors were in deep discussion and the topic of choice was the ten students, more then half, who were in Gryffindor.
" I don't know why we have to put up with them," said Dean Thomas. " I mean most of us weren't there, but from what Ginny and the others told me, their not normal."
" Wait a minute!" said Ginny, getting up. " Are you telling me that your using my words to basically kick them out. Remember last term when everyone thought that Harry was attacking people just because he could talk with snakes. Then we all found out that it was You-know-who. Personally I think that it was very Gryffindor-like for James to even use his ability to save us from Miss Fireball."
" But what he did isn't normal!" Dean stated. " Have you ever seen a wizard that could change his shape at will. Come on, Ginny. It would be better if we just stayed away from them. Once they realize that their not wanted, then they'll just go away."
Ginny glared at him, then turned to Harry and Ron.
" Is that what you two believe?" Ginny asked them. " Do you believe that if you just ignore them that they'll go away."
Both boys looked at each other, then at Ginny.
" Well I hate to agree with Dean," Ron said. " But what James and Alice did isn't normal. I think it would be better if we stayed away from them."
Ginny snorted her disguss with them and left the common room.
" What do you mean they think we'll just go away," Jessica said to Ginny when she arrived in the Great Hall.
" That's what I'm staying!" Ginny said, looking over at the Slytherin table at the smiling faces of Alice and Thomas. She turned back to Jessica and the others. " Look just give them time to get use to you, like I have, and maybe everything will blow over."
" Hay wait a minute," said Samantha. " Why don't we show them that just because were different, doesn't mean that were not nice."
" Sis, that is so four-year-old!" stated Peter.
" No, it's not!" Samantha snapped. " Look that is how all these laws that target dark creatures even get made into laws. By stupid people who think that just because their normal, they can ruin other peoples lives. Those Gryffindors will become exactly what our mother was trying to prevent. They will enact laws that will keep people like us from having rights. That's how Voldemort ( Ginny flinched) got so many supporters in the first place. And I think we need to show them that just because some of us didn't have respectable fathers or families that our mother was respectable and that just because were different doesn't mean that they have the right to treat us like the Ministry treated your father Nathan and Narcissa, and you know that I'm right."
" Your right, sis," said Nathan. " But that won't change how they think or feel. That small battle between James and Alice is how we almost got put out of the running to come here in the first place. Remember how the governors and Ministry almost caused us not to be allowed in here in the first place."
" I think that both of you have a point," said the voice of Professor Lupin.
Samantha and Nathan turned to see their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and he was smiling at them.
" Thank you, Professor," said Samantha, feeling pleased with herself.
" No problem," said Lupin.
And he headed towards the staff table.
The next morning was Herbology, where the Hufflepuffs spent the entire double period snickering at them. Professor Sprout got so annoyed with them that she took ten points off from Hufflepuff for " wasting class time." At lunch, the Gryffindors ignored them, which was fine with them. However, Lily wasn't her usual cheerful self, which concerned James more then anything.
" What's wrong?" asked James, who always could pretty much figure out why his sister was acting the way that she was.
" Nothing," Lily lied, pushing her food around on her plate.
James and Jessica looked at each other, but Samantha spoke up.
" Is it your gift acting up?"
At those words, most of the Gryffindors got up and left the hall, but James ignored them.
" Look, is your gift acting up?" James repeated.
Lily nodded.
" Their saying that trouble is coming to the school," Lily told him. " And this time, nothing will be able to stop it."
" What trouble do they speak of?"
" I don't know!" Lily said. " But the only clue that they give me is that it seeps in and attacks them when they are the weakest."
" Well the only time that their weak, is in their dreams," Peter said. " Could it mean that they will attack them in their dreams."
" It could mean that?" said Lily. " But I don't know."
" Well lets hope that their wrong," James said. " I would hate to see what happens if their right!"
" I've got a bad feeling that their right," said Jessica. " Lily's spirit ancestors are never wrong!"
" Me too!" said Lily, then she got up and left.
After lunch the second years went to Transfiguration. Professor McGonagall was much nicer then her students and when Samantha and Samuel transfigured their beetle into a button, she gave them a full forty points.
" Thanks," said Samantha, as the class left.
McGonagall smiled at her.
Later that night, after dinner was over, and everyone had gone to sleep, a horrible scream came from the third years boys dormitory. Nathan and Peter ran in to find Ron tossing and turning in his bed, screaming his head off. He wasn't the only one. Harry and Neville were screaming as well, which caused Samantha to pour cold water all over their faces.
" Well their not the only ones!" McGonagall said, twenty minutes later. " Professors Lupin, Snape, and Flitwick have all screamed awake. They won't tell us what caused them to scream their heads off, but it had to be bad."
" So any idea what caused them to scream themselves awake?" asked James.
" It was a Dream Demon!" Lily said.
They all looked at her, but Jessica spoke up.
" What is a Dream Demon?"
" My ancestor spoke of it when I went to sleep," Lily told her. " It's a dark creature that I'm for the destruction of. It enters weak-minded people and makes them suffer their worst fear. We have to help our parents overcome their fear, or else, the Dream Demon will overcome them."
" But how?" asked Peter.
" Simple!" Lily said, grinning. " We enter their dreams."
" What!" they all said.
" Yep and soon, or else, no more parents."
They all looked at each other, but they all knew they had no choice.
