Chapter 7: Panic

Darkness surrounded me, highlighting my every move. I ran through green trees, hardly making my way across the dark scenery of the woods. I didn't know where I was going but running seemed more vital now than if I were being pursued by a killer. I ran and ran never stopped running, losing my breath and tripping every now and then only to shove my self off the floor and continue fleeing. I didn't even know if I was running from someone – or something – or if I was running to something but the more I ran, the less I knew the reasons behind my efforts.

I stumbled once more and found myself falling through the trees into the center of a small, dark meadow. I tried to get up but couldn't remember how to move anymore. Maybe the running had exhausted me. I tried again but my muscles weren't cooperating. Suddenly, an enormous, strange, black creature came into view on the other side of the meadow, walking slowly in my direction, baring its teeth, prepared to attack. I heard laughter behind me and swirled around to see where it was coming from. It was the Malfoy couple standing several feet away from me at the border of the small clearing. Remembering my predator I looked back in its direction and realized it looked a lot like the painting on the entrance hall wall in my house. My parents had once told me it was a dragon but I had never believed them. Now the existence of such beings became of undeniable reality, moving towards me like a snake readying itself for the kill. I stared incredulously at the creature as it approached me, trying to deny its presence, as if that would make it disappear. It was now only a few feet away from me when it paused, staring me in the eyes. I stared back not knowing how to react.

The creature suddenly changed its attitude and bent its head down for me to caress it. I did so and the couple standing behind me screamed in pain and anger. Seeing the panicked look in the animal's eyes, I turned around quickly, feeling a jolt of panic run through me like an electric shock. The couple looked more infuriated than I could have imagined, making me more anxious and afraid. I gripped to the creature beside me for help but, just like me, it was frozen in fear. The Malfoy's then seemed to lose all self control, charging at me with full speed.

I awoke from my dream sitting up in my bed, screaming madly. When I realized that I was safely seated in my own room and not in the clearing I had seen in my dream, my pulse started to slow and the pressure I felt in my whole body started to lessen. Remembering that I could now move, I got slowly out of bed and walked all the way to the kitchen to get a cup of water. As I walked, I pondered about the dream I had had and decided I shouldn't wait for the answers to come to me. I would sneak out to the wizarding library of London the next morning and find out what I needed. The answers to all of my questions were bound to be there, just waiting for me to discover them.
