[DREAM]

I felt the hard ground against my back. I opened my eyes and sat up. I was in a small room, the lights were turned off, but my eyes had got used to the darkness, so I could still see a little. I looked around the room, it had no doors, nor windows. What was going on? Where am I? Why am I here? How did I get here? The thoughts flew around in my head as I heard a loud 'POP' sound behind me. I quickly turned around and saw Voldemort standing there. I quickly stood up and looked him right in the eyes, getting a bit nervous.

- Why am I here? I asked.

- ..Have you felt any different since the last time we saw each other? He asked, ignoring my question.

- You mean like, nine months ago?

- No, you silly little girl, the last time we met in your dreams. He said, and I looked at him a little confused.

- That dream when I told you that we'd make you one of us earlier than expected. He explained.

- Why would I feel any different? I asked him, still a bit confused.

- You see that red mark on your arm? It's gonna turn into the dark mark, and when it does, you'll officially be one of us. My eyes widened.

- WHAT? I shouted. This can't be happening, this can't be happening. I repeated for myself, trying to calm myself down.

- Until we meet again... He said as he started disappearing.

- No! Wait! I shouted, but it wasn't to any use, cause he was already gone.

What am I gonna do? I don't want to be one of them! Well, technically you could say that I already are one of them, but I don't want to. But I don't have a choice, and I've known that for my entire life. I leaned against the wall and slid down to the ground, bursting into tears.

[END OF DREAM]

My eyes flew up and I quickly ran to the bathroom and locked the door. I was breathing heavily, and I closed my eyes for a while. When I breathed normal I opened them again and looked down at my arm. It was still clearly red, but now it was in another shape than before. What if it was true? What if the dark mark was being formed on my arm? What should I do? Should I tell someone? Maybe I should tell Dumbledore?... No, I'd probably get expelled. I'll have to tell someone, I know that. But.. Maybe not quite yet?..Yeah. I'll keep this as a secret for now on. They'd all just freak if I told them, so I'll wait for the right moment. When I was done thinking about this I unlocked the door and walked over to my bed. I looked at the clock, and it was 3 AM, so I went back to sleep.

-In the morning-

When I woke up for the second time, I did my morning routine and changed into this: .com/have_no_choice/set?id=39461059 . Hermione was still sleeping, and I didn't bother waking her up, she's not a morning person. I opened the door and walked down the stairs. When I was about to walk out of the common room I heard someone shout my name from behind, so I turned around.

- LEXI! It was George.

- Yeah?

- Do you know what the first task is? He said as he breathed heavily, I guess he had ran a while.

- No, not yet. I said, and waited until he breathed normal again.

- Well, you're not gonna like it, and neither do I.

- What is it then? I asked, but he didn't answer.

- George? I need to know what it is so I can get prepared! Tell me! I kind of yelled at him, and he mumbled something.

- What did you say?

- Dragons. The first task is something with dragons, Lexi.

- WHAT? How am I supposed to fight a dragon? And besides, how did you find out what it was?

- Well, Charlie is here, so I'm kind of sure that dragons is the first task. He said and pulled me into a hug.

- Promise me, and Fred, that you'll survive this tournament Lex, we need you. He said and I looked up at him, breaking the hug.

- I-I'm not sure I can promise you that George, I mean.. If the first task is dragons, then how dangerous and difficult will the other two tasks be? Maybe I won't even survive the first task. When I said the last sentence, his hold of my arm got harder. Suddenly I felt a burning feeling on my left underarm, and I tried not to scream, but he noticed that something was wrong.

- Lexi? I didn't answer. If I opened my mouth I wouldn't be able to stop myself from screaming. I shook myself free from his grip and started running away from there. I didn't really care where I'd arrive, I just ran. I heard him yell my name a few times, but I ignored them and continued running. When I stopped running I sat down on the ground, and breathed heavily. I noticed that I sat on grass. Grass? How didn't I notice that I got outside of the castle? Ugh... I heard footsteps behind me, so I quickly stood up and turned around. I was standing in front of the forbidden forest. I couldn't see anyone there, so where did the footsteps come from? I slowly walked towards the forest, even though I new we weren't allowed to be anywhere near it. As I walked around in the forest I thought about the tournament, my mother, Voldemort, the dark mark, and... Fred. My thoughts were irrupted by a sound from behind, footsteps. But this time I saw who it was, and it wasn't only one person. It was eight death eaters. I had met them before, but I don't think they recognized me at first, because they all raised their wands towards me. They started walking towards me, and I walked backwards, but I tripped on a root.

- If you tell anyone about this, you'll regret it! One of them yelled at me, and walked closer to me.

- I- I won't! I stuttered.

- LIAR! Another person yelled.

- We should teach you a lesson, for walking around in the forbidden forest, shouldn't we? He said and pointed his wand at me.

- No, please! You don't know who I am! I said, panicking. If they knew who I was, they probably wouldn't be doing this.

- We know who you are, you're just a foolish little mudblood girl, who doesn't know her right place. He continued.

- CRUCIO! I suddenly felt a horrible pain through my whole body, worse than I could have ever imagined. I screamed on the top of my lungs as they continued throwing spells at me. After at least ten minutes of pain, they got interrupted by something or someone, and they all disappeared. I turned my head to see who it was, and saw Hagrid standing there. He picked me up, and told me to tell him everything on the way back to the castle. When we arrived he put me down on the ground, and I started to walk, but I instantly fell down to the ground. He picked me up again, since I couldn't walk, and he carried me all the way to the hospital wing. Once we got there, he told Madam Pomfrey what had happened to me, and she healed me with a spell. Why didn't she do that the last time I was in the hospital wing? Ugh.. Hagrid had already left, so I was alone when I walked to the exit and towards the common room. There was no point in going to the Great Hall now, since I had already missed the breakfast. I said the password and entered the common room. I sat down in one of the sofas, and it didn't take long until everyone(well, my friends) came down to the common room.
