It's just you're Subconscious


Chapter Three: Disregarding Dreams

After the first feast, before the school year, Dumbledore made a last speech for the first years, and then, they followed the Head Boy and Girl of their respective houses. Lily and James lead the first years to their Dormitories.

"Ah," Sirius said smirking a little, "Must be nice to be Head Boy, I mean getting to torture the first years." He said sniggering to himself.

Sienna rolled her eyes, looking at Sirius with pure annoyance and amusement, her emotions were odd. Remus smacked him along side the head, "That's exactly why you aren't Head Boy, you'd use you're power for evil, Padfoot." He said with a raised eyebrow.

Sirius scowled, "Oh come on, Moony!" He said, "You're such a fun sucker." He said pouting a little.

"I am not! I seem to remember last year, where I helped you pull off that prank with Snape, you know, making him sing, that Beatle's song. I was the master mind." Remus replied quite proudly.

Sirius scowled, "I lured him!" He said in defense.

"Hmmm," Ana said in thought, "I always wondered what had, happened to you're left eyebrow." She commented smirking.

"Everyone's out to get me…" Sirius muttered, as Sienna sniggered, as the look on his face, which was pure annoyance.

They walked up a flight of stairs and just in time, because just as they stepped off of it, the stairway began to move, Sienna hated them. Her third year, she was stuck for three hours on a stairwell as it seemed to always move to the wrong spot.

They took a corner, and then found the painting of the Fat Lady, who seemed annoyed; she had been interrupted, talking to an Elderly lady, in the painting next to her, "Password." She asked shortly.

"Fortuna Major." Sienna replied, the Fat Lady swung, open promptly, they all stepped in and found that mostly everyone, had gone up to their dorms for the night, "Wow," Sienna began, "Bed early?" She asked, yawning herself.

Ana shrugged, "School starts tomorrow, I'm going to bed to." She said, yawning too, looking over at Sienna.

"You're such an old fogie." Sienna said sniggering to herself, at the American word, she had used.

"First off, I'm so use to sleeping in, I know if I don't go to bed now, it'll be hell to get up tomorrow, secondly, what the hell is a fogie?" She asked, flailing her arms about.

Sienna shrugged, "I don't know what is it?" She asked, grinning at Ana's look, her face was contorted in exasperation, "Don't answer a question with a question, IT'S MY THING." Ana said, territorially.

"Right," Sienna said, "Gonna, turn in ol' chaps." She said, walking off, saluting them, she walked off, hearing Ana run up to her, she obviously wasn't going to give up, although Ana loved to annoy, and when she wanted to know something, she nagged till she got tired of it, or the person finally gave in.

"Sienna, what is an old fogie?" She asked, testily, as they walked up the steps, and into the dorm room, where Lily was currently, asleep. Her curtain to her bed closed, tightly, and she was snoring softly.

"Dunno I would hazard to guess it's a, Ana Travers." Sienna said, walking to the bathroom, and before Ana could reply, Sienna shut the door, in her face. Ana stood there and glared at the door, she then smirked, as an idea popped up in her head. She walked to the side of the door, waiting for Sienna to change into her pajama's, which consisted of some light blue shorts, and an old T-shirt.

She heard Sienna in there gargling, from brushing her teeth, a few minutes later, the water went off, and she heard Sienna open the door, she grinned, Sienna came out, and Ana jumped her, she drug her to her bed, and wrapped her arms behind her back. "OW!" Sienna growled. "What are you doing?" She asked.

"What is an old fogie?" She asked, persistently.

Sienna huffed, "Fine. An old fogie, its people who are really old, and are basically party poopers, and go to bed early." Sienna said breathing heavily trying to get away from Ana, it was no use.

Ana pulled on Sienna's arm harder, "Really? Am I an old fogie?" She asked hotly, twisting it harder, making Sienna yelp, in pain.

"No, no!" Sienna said, Ana finally let go, and Sienna lay on her stomach for a bit, breathing heavily, from the fight of trying to get away. She sat up and looked at Ana who was looking pretty smug, "You're an animal." She said, climbing into her bed, and laying down.

Ana smirked, "I know, but you love me anyway." And with that, she turned out the lights, closed the curtains around their beds, and fell into a deep slumber, although Sienna's was restless.

Green light, a baby crying, screams, cold icy laugh, "Harry! Please not Harry!" A scream, a familiar scream. Green light, "Stand aside, stand aside girl!" "Take Harry, go, run! It's him!" Said a male voice in panic, someone stumbling, high pitched laughter of pure evil.

White fog surround Sienna's sense's the screams stopped, the laughter, the pleading, it was quiet, nothing but white mist, then-"You follow out of Cowardice! That is it! Have you got information to report to me? Where are they?" A hissing voice asked, coldly, as if there was no love, life or anything but hatred in his voice.

"Y-yes My Lord." Said a squeaky voice, "I have information, but from the reports they are very strong, strong indeed…" It continued.

"Do you question my strength?"

"N-no My Lord." The voice squeaked, "There are at Godric's Hollow, in hiding with the boy."

Once again Sienna could hear a cold, evil cackling laughter, she saw a bright green light, "Please, I'll do anything, not Harry, not Harry!"

Then she heard a scream of pain, "This can't be! A boy couldn't have done this!" She saw a flash of grey smoke, and heard a hissing sound.

Fog once again took over, it was all she could see, it then cleared, she saw two boys and a girl walking along the halls of Hogwarts, one looked uncannily like James. "He's after the Sorcerer's stone…" He said importantly.

Mist Swirled around again, and she saw graves, and hissing sounds, a man, with red eyes, face as white as a skull, and a voice as cold, as a winters wind. It sent chills down Sienna's back, he was coming near, he was speaking in some hissing language, she couldn't make it out, but she could tell it was evil.

Near him was a snake, following him like a faitful servant, he hissed and came at her, trying to bite, she yelped in her sleep, and started to run, she heard the mans, cruel and cold laughter, she was scared, all she could do was run, she was in a forest. It was so dark, she couldn't see her own hand in front of her face, the mist clouded her vision, and the sound of hissing frightened her.

She fell and tripped on a branch, hurting her ankle, she turned around and saw the man standing over her, "Sienna...Sienna..."

She whimpered, "What?" She asked.

"Sienna." He said again, but it was becoming more clear, a woman's voice...

"Sienna! Sienna, wake up! Sienna! SIENNA!" Said a desperate Ana, "Wake up!" She said shaking her friend, who was now, crying and flailing around, she was in a cold sweat, "Sienna, please!" Ana said again, Lily was on the other side trying to get her to calm down, Sienna was too scared. Some of the images horrified her.

She flew up, breathing heavily, her hair was sticking to her, and her eyes were filled with tears, "Sienna…" Lily breathed, seeing her friend in distress; Sienna pushed past and stood up slightly dazed, and swayed back and fourth as if she was going to pass out.

"Sienna are you alright?" Lily asked, looking at her with utmost concern, she placed a hand on Sienna which made her jump.

She nodded, "I'm fine…J-just a nightmare." She said, as her breathing slowed down, her skin was soaked with sweat, as was her hair and clothes, she kept seeing the red eyes, and skull like face, the man falling through the veil and the agony of a small boy. The pleading, it scared her to death, and Sienna didn't scare easily.

Ana came over, "What was it about?" She asked.

Sienna shook her head, backing up, "Nothing, just a dream, I'm gonna go shower." She said running to the bathroom and slamming the door.

Ana stared at Lily, "That was some nightmare…" She said, Lily nodded in agreement, Sienna had been in hysterics, and the tears wouldn't stop flowing.

"She'll tell us when she's ready." Lily commented, sighing.

Sienna got into the shower and washed up, she leaned up against the shower wall, and it was much scarier when she was in the dream, now she wanted to analyze it. She believed some dreams meant something, and this was so odd, it had to mean something.

She let the water run down her face. What was she seeing? What did it mean? She wasn't scared anymore, but she was glad she had stayed in Divination; she would talk to her Professor about it perhaps.

This had sparked her interest now. She all of a sudden felt more alert, she would just talk to her Professor later, she felt comforted with the thought, and if the Professor thought it was nothing, that it was nothing.

She got out and dressed with the clothes she had in the bathroom, she pulled on her robes and did her hair quickly, Divination wasn't till after lunch, but she could wait, she walked out to see Lily and Ana already dressed.

They gave her worried glances, "You okay?" Lily asked.

"Yep, I'm fine. It was just a dream. Trust me," Sienna said, "I've had worse." She replied, which was true, she had; now she was energized with curiosity as to what it meant.

Ana and Lily weren't buying it, she sighed, "Look dreams are always the most frightening when you're in them, but now that I look back; it wasn't that bad. It wasn't real. I'm fine, really. The dream probably meant nothing."

Ana and Lily shrugged, as they walked down, to the Common room, the Marauder's were just walking out of the portrait hole, and probably heading to the Great Hall for breakfast. They girls followed suit.

"I'm afraid of my schedule this year; I have a feeling it's going to be harder and more cramped then ever." Ana said dryly.

"Ugh, I know." Lily said, somewhat put off, "Thank God for Hogsmead!" She said happily.

Ana and Sienna grinned, "I know," Sienna said, "And maybe this year, we'll actually have dates, that aren't trying to snog us every five minutes." She said.

"Or spend the time, looking at the joke shop, and finding some other girl there, he fancies more." Lily added in.

"Not to mention, spend half the time drinking Fire Whiskey, getting drunk, and making me take him back to Hogwarts." Ana said, making them all laugh and then add, "Men."

They walked into the Great Hall, and sat down, owls flew in dropping their mail to them, Sienna got a letter from her Mother, and one from her Father, Ana got one from her parents and so did Lily.

Dear Sienna,

It's mum here, just writing to see how you are, those owls still creep me out, and I can never remember what to pay them. Anyway, how are you doing? How's the first day of school? Hope its well!

Love,

Mum

Sienna smiled, at her mother's fear of owls. As it seemed to be the only way Sienna could communicate with her, she opened up her Father's he had been gone at work, the day she left for school, so she hadn't gotten a chance to say goodbye.

Dear sweetie,

Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye, you know how work is! How's school going? Will you be coming home after this year? You may, or may not be able to come home for Christmas, me and you're mother are planning a vacation, we'll let you know as soon as possible!

Lots of love,

Dad

Ana scowled, "Mum is so annoying!" She said in a frustrated sort of way.

Sienna rolled up the letters, and looked over at Ana with a raised eyebrow, smirking, "Really? What has she done this time to upset you?" She asked.

Ana huffed, and looked over at Sienna, "Every year, it's the same thing," She began, taking a deep breath, "She goes on about if I've taken personal needs, and she'll go on about making sure I don't you know… do 'it'. She treats me like a child." She said enraged.

Sienna shrugged, "That's what mum's do, and they nag." She said, as McGonagall came around with their yearly schedules. Sienna looked at hers and sighed, it was busy. Today she had Potions after Breakfast, then she had Charms, which went till Lunch, then she got a break, and then it was over to Divination, Transfiguration, and Defense against the Dark Arts till supper.

Ana, Lily and Sienna, all compared their schedules, it was all the same, except when Sienna had Divination, they had History of Magic with Professor Binns. Sienna hated it, not only because it was always cold in the room, but because it was boring to her.

They all shuffled onto Potions, which seemed long for Sienna, Ana and Lily, they got to Charms and sat down, and just as the Professor started, she felt a paper ball hit her in the head; she picked it up off the floor and glared at Sirius who shrugged.

Sienna-

Since you're training to be an Auror, you going to be an Animagus?

She rolled her eyes, and scribbled down a response, she crumpled it up, and threw it back to him, and he caught it and read it over.

Sirius-

First off, how did you know I was going to be an Auror? And yes, I'm training to be an Animagus. Professor McGonagall said she'd help.

Sirius nodded, and scribbled down, what seemed to be a really long, note because it took forever, he finally crumpled it back up and threw it back to her, she couldn't help how nervous Remus looked.

Sienna-

Ah, you know Ana, she can never keep anything from anyone. She likes to talk. Too bad you have to spend so much time with that Professor, I can't stand her! But it's cool, I, James and Peter, have already become Animagus's; just don't tell anyone, but Ana. If you're wondering our forms, I'm a dog (no comments on that either), James is a Stag, and Peter is a rat.

Sienna looked up, her eyes wide, she quickly scribbled down, another note, although hers was a little quicker, she crumpled it up, and threw it back.

Sirius-

You know if you're unregistered, that could get you in trouble, but I won't tell anyone. What about Remus though?

Sirius looked up a little weary, he sighed, and started to scribble down another note, Remus seemed to relax a little, he crumpled it up, and threw it over to Sienna, the Professor was busy teaching he hadn't noticed so far, they usually waited till he wasn't looking.

Sienna-

You have major chicken scratch, Remus, he wants to…uh wait…um, y'know? Sienna could tell this was a lie, she was wondering what he was hiding, she shrugged and sat back, she looked at him, and through expression told him, she wasn't going to talk to him right now.

She leaned over towards Ana, "Did you know, Sirius, James and Peter, are unregistered Animagus?" She whispered so no one could hear.

Ana shrugged, "No, what are their forms?" She asked, as Sienna took Ana's notes and copied them down.

"Sirius is a dog," She began, earning a snort of laughter from Ana, "James is a Stag, and Peter is a rat." She muttered.

"Go figure." Ana said, the rest of the class was uneventful, it was now time for lunch, Sienna's mind was still analyzing the dream, and she sat down and looked at Lily, "Do you by any chance have a dream interpreting book?" She asked.

"No, why? Is it about that dream?" She wondered.

"Kinda…" She replied she shrugged it off, and ate lunch quietly; she looked over at Remus, "Remus?" She asked.

"Yes?" He said looking up.

"Are you an Animagus?" She asked, he looked over and glared at Sirius, who just smiled cheekily.

He shifted, "No, I'd rather do it the legal way." He said stiffly.

"Well, of course, but you usually follow what these clowns do," She began.

"HEY!" James, said in mock tones of hurt, she only flipped him the bird and turned back to Remus.

"Anyway I'd think you would be one… don't you find it weird, that only one of you aren't an Animagus?" She asked.

Remus swallowed hard, "I'm just not, okay?" He snapped a little at her, making her frown.

She sighed in annoyance; she looked down at her watch "I got Divination, catch you later." She said shortly, grabbing her books and walking away. She hated being left out of things, and she knew there was more to it, then waiting to do it, 'legally'. She turned a few corners, and found the Divination Class with Professor Matthews.

The classroom had small round tables for everyone to sit at, with a partner, with different assortments of clothes, covering the tables, a Crystal Ball on each. She sat down next to a Slytherin girl, she turned and smiled, "Sienna." She said holding out her hand.

Instead of a frown, the girl actually smiled, "Kat, Kat London." She said shaking Sienna's hand.

"I haven't seen you around, you transfer from somewhere?" Sienna asked.

"Nah, I just usually sit in the back, but Lucius Malfoy got to it first, he annoys me to no end, he's such a bloody wanker." She said grinning.

Sienna laughed, "Tell me about it, I can't stand him! He's so arrogant, and snide." Sienna said, starting to like this girl.

"I know, yet, I kind of find him good looking." She commented, and then laughed at the gagging noises Sienna made, "He's not that bad!" She said.

"Yes, yes, I believe he is." She said, they both laughed, as the Professor told them to settle down, the class went fast, although Sienna spent most of her time horsing around with Kat, she had made another friend and a Slytherin no less, as least Lily would be pleased, she hated how the Slytherin's were treated.

"Hey, what class you in next?" Kat asked, as the class filed out, of the room, after the class was over.

"Transfiguration." She replied.

Kat's face lit up, "Me to! Want to walk together? You can introduce me to you're friends, I don't have many!" She said excitedly.

Sienna smiled, "Sure, I just need to talk to the teacher for a moment." She replied, Kat nodded and told her she would wait.

"Professor?" Sienna said, Matthews was getting ready for the next class, and cleaning up after the last class.

He looked up, "Sienna, something I can do for you?" He asked politely.

"Well, you see, I had a dream last night and I was wondering if it meant anything." She said looking at him.

"Hmmm, what was it about?" He asked sitting down, staring up at her.

Sienna sighed, and explained the dream to him, after sitting down, she explained what she had seen, the red eyes, the laughing, the pleading, the death, and some of things thing's that were said.

He sat quietly for a moment, "Well, I'm sure it was just a dream. I can't seem to think of any sense it makes. Some dreams are just like that, I'm sure it's nothing." He replied this comforted Sienna, to find out she was freaking out over nothing. "Just watch things." He said smiling.

She smiled, "Okay thanks," She said standing up, "I'll see you tomorrow." He nodded as she made her way out, she linked arms with Kat and walked to Transfiguration, yet in the back of her mind, she wasn't totally convinced it was just a dream.
