Ch. 3 Start Planning
"Good morning," Pansy murmured as she sat up, rubbing her eyes, "How do you feel?"
"All right, I guess." I replied, also sitting up.
"Must have been some horrible dream." Pansy said.
"Yeah, it was very…scary." I replied. "Shall we get breakfast now?" I asked, trying to change the subject away from my nightmare.
"Sure," Pansy said. Only a few of the beds were empty, but maybe Draco was awake. I wanted to tell him about my nightmare.
We changed into our robes and walked down the stairs into the Common Room. I ran down and hugged Draco who was standing by the fireplace.
"I'm…er…gonna meet you in the Great Hall." Pansy said quietly, smiling to herself, and left.
I kissed Draco.
"Did you sleep all right?" he asked.
"Not really. I had a terrible dream."
"What happened?" he asked, pulling back slightly to see my face.
"He came to my house and killed my family. Then you came," I was holding back tears now, "and he used the Cruciatus Curse on me. I had to watch you cry for me! Then he Imperiosed me to cast the Cruciatus Curse on you! I couldn't take it anymore, but then he made me kill you!" I cried.
Draco was worried, "I'm so sorry, Astoria." he said, hugging me close again.
"It's not your fault." I told him, "We can't just ignore it though: we have to get Harry Potter, and we need to start planning."
