Hello everyone!

I have a story to share with you!

Which is funny, because I am sharing a story within the chapter of another story I am sharing!

*cough*storyception*cough*

Anyways, I shall share this story at the end of the chapter.

I do not own JKR. That honor goes to JKR!

As days continued and students returned from Hogsmeade, Nellie found Defense against the Dark Arts much more tranquil, with Carrow not speaking to her at all, to her relief.

Halloween was approaching, and many students spoke excitedly amongst one another about the big feast. Nellie herself wasn't attending, as she had heard from Neville about a supposed meeting of Dumbledore's Army that evening.

Wondering what the meeting was going to be about, especially as this was her first, Nellie didn't quite know what to expect as she made her way to the seventh floor. Standing before the Room of Requirement, which Draco had shown her the year before, Nellie found Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley coming her way.

"So this is your first meeting, huh," Ginny smiled. Nellie nodded. "Well, let's go in."

At that moment a door appeared, and the three walked in.

"I believe everyone is here now," Neville said as he noticed the girls walk in. "So let's get started. You all are probably wondering why I chose tonight to have a meeting, so I'll explain. With Halloween being tonight, I figured we would be able to meet easier with the hustle and bustle in the Great Hall with the feast and such. As this is our first meeting this year, I would like to announce what we know so far.

"To begin, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are on some quest Dumbledore has set them on, but we don't know what it is. I just wish the best for them. Has anyone heard from them though?" Neville looked around, but the room of teens was quiet. "Well, that's fine, I guess. But, in other news, I hear the Weasley twins have made a discovery. You two ready to share?"

Nellie turned to see Fred and George Weasley stand up.

"Yeah, we've made a discovery, alright." George said proudly.

"If you all will turn your selves around to this little painting we have here," Fred grabbed ahold of a painting of a little girl, and pulled it open, like a door, "We've found ourselves a little tunnel."

"Fred and I went through it, and there's this old guy at the end of the tunnel. I think he lives in Hogsmeade, or around it anyways."

"Apparently this guy's name is Aberforth, and he's Dumbledore's brother."

"He was telling us about Dumbledore, and their little sister, Ariana."

"Who died at age fourteen."

"Really? How did she die?" Neville asked curiously.

"Um, I think she was killed by some three way duel that Aberforth, Dumbledore, and some friend of Dumbledore's were having."

"I see. So this is your story in whole?"

"Yeah."

"So we now have a new access to Hogsmeade, which is good because I think the Carrows have boarded up all the other ones." Neville noted. Fred unhappily nodded.

"Okay. Does anyone have anything else to share?"

Nellie was tempted to tell everyone the truth about her real parents, but was afraid how they would take it. Sighing, she kept her hand down.

"I guess the meeting is adjourned, then. The feast should be done, too. So, goodnight, everyone."

Time passed faster than Nellie could imagine. Winter had befallen, and all were excited for the upcoming Christmas. Nellie was unhappy when she heard from Snape where she would be spending Christmas: Malfoy Manor.

"I want you to have a proper Christmas, Nellie, not like you've had for all these years," Snape had said.

But Nellie didn't think having Christmas with the Malfoys would be "proper". If anything, it would be restrictive and she felt Voldemort would be there.

Nellie sighed, but didn't argue as she walked on the Hogwarts Train with Draco Malfoy.

Arriving at Kings Cross, Nellie followed Draco to his parents, who apparated them to the Manor.

"Draco, do not toss your trunk in one of the Guest Rooms," Narcissa Malfoy warned, "Not only is Nellie staying with us, but your aunt Bellatrix is as well."

"She's staying with us? Why?"

"It seems there will be a lot of Death Eater meetings this winter," Narcissa replied indirectly, before leaving the room.

Before anyone says anything, I probably made a lot of errors in this chapter, or written things that might be impossible. I'm sorry.

Moving on...

-Storytime!-

Once, there was a writer named Myraah. Myraah had a dream one night.

Myraah dreamed she was one of her OC's, Nellie Potter.

In her dream, she (Nellie) and Harry Potter were standing in a compartment on the Hogwarts, waiting for the Death Eaters to come after them. (It was during the war at Hogwarts)

They came charging, and Myraah/Nellie fired 'Sectumsempra' at the first Death Eater she saw.

And guess who this Death Eater was?

Severus Snape.

But he was able to deflect the attack, and sent Harry flying away (I think Harry was trying to attack Snape too)

But he couldn't bring himself to harm Myraah/Nellie. In fact, he burst into tears.

That story was true! I had that dream last night, and since it was HP related, partucularly related to this fanfic, I figured I'd share it.

I thought it was sweet how Snape couldn't bring himself to hurt Nellie. And I don't exactly know how Nellie knew Sectumsempra...but...

*Note* this dream does not relay spoilers, as this is not what will happen during the war at the end of this story!

Myraah out.
