The sun was warm against my skin, the sun shining down on my face. I spun in a circle, arms out wide. Laughing as I spun and spun and spun. I'd never been so happy in my life, never been so complete and content. Yet only one thing was missing. My mind couldn't quite get a grasp on it, though it tickled my mind, a light fluffy feather moving against my memory. I stopped turning, but that's when it truly hit me, how dizzy I actually was. My knees gave out and I fell down onto the bright dewy grass. Surely it would stain my clothes, but at that moment I didn't care. I reached out my hands to comb through the lovely green beneath me. But instead my hands met solid stone.
Pain blossomed through my head and slumped down to the rough floor. I could hear chains clanking together and scratching the floor as I moved, but everything was black.
Groaning, I opened my eyes, simply getting a somewhat sideways view of a pair of shiny brown shoe, slight pieces of mud crusted around the bottom of them.
I rolled not so delicately to my back, staring up at the ceiling above me. And that's when it all came back.
Fuego.
Remus.
Are we even in Hogwarts anymore?
Id always been so careful about not showing anyone around me my strange abilities. But that didn't stop me this time, and I was up and in the corner of the room in less than a second. Eyes wide, I looked around.
It took me awhile, but I finally recognized my surroundings. I was hunched in the corner of the same stone cell I had dreamed about what seemed like ages ago. But that was a dream... I think... I hope.
I now studied the details around me. Attached to my right leg was a dusty chain, tightly attached to the wall behind me. It didn't look like that was coming lose anytime soon.
Quickly, I noticed the only two people in the room. One was one of the hunch men from early, one of the ones that had taken me - us - away. In his hand was a pretty solid looking wooden baseball bat. In the corner opposite of me was a body, clumsily piled on the floor. The body groaned and rolled over, giving me a full view of its face.
"Remus!" I cried and ran forward. The ground was painful, dirty, and cold against my bare feet, but I couldn't bring myself to care.
Four steps, three steps, two steps away and
Bang!
The mystery hunch man had slammed his weapon into my head once again.
And just like before, the world disappeared, my hand just brushing Remus' shoulder.
