Hi guys! I'm back with another chapter before school starts. Also can I just say that I can't believe this has over 100 followers? I never thought it would get this popular so thank you so so much! Enjoy!

Evelyn's POV

While Luna and the others were at the secret meeting, Natsu, Lucy, Erza and Gray were comforting me while I was crying my eyes out. "Evie what's wrong?" my older brother asked me gently and I shook my head.

"My nightmares have gotten so bad," I whimpered and I buried my face in a red pillow that was on the couch where we were sitting. "They're scary. And the flashbacks are even worse."
"Why haven't you told us Evelyn?" Lucy questioned, "we want to help."

"I don't want to bother any of you," I muttered into the pillow knowing none of the others, except Natsu, could hear me.

"Evelyn, you won't bother us. Where did you get that idea from?" the dragonslayer asked me and I just shook my head while crying harder.

"Natsu don't press her," Erza warned and he fell silent, his questions stopping. "Evelyn needs time, this isn't going to go away immediately." Maybe it was because Erza understood what I was going through after her enslavement at the Tower of Heaven that I turned to her instead of my brother.

"Erza how did you deal with it?" I asked as tears streamed down my face.

"You try to move on," the redhead answered softly before giving me a hug. I couldn't say it was comfortable since she was wearing armor but the gesture was comforting. My eyes closed and I tried to relax; I was out of there, I was never going back, I was surrounded by people who loved me. My life wasn't a living hell anymore. So why did I still feel weighed down? Nothing was making sense in my mind except for a terrible sense of foreboding that foreshadowed something bad happening. The dreams I had been having weren't reassuring either. All of them were dark and they always involved dragonslayer hunters finding me, taking me back, and making me go crazy. So many times over the month I had woken up in a cold sweat, my mind so scattered that it took a minute to recognize where I was. Hearing Erza and Lucy's breathing eased my anxiety and made me fall back asleep but only more nightmares were waiting for me. But until that group was eradicated and destroyed I couldn't rest easy. Knowing they were out there looking for Natsu and I put me on edge and constantly on high alert.

It was nine o'clock when people from the secret meeting poured in through the entrance and Harry, Hermione, and Ron made a beeline for us immediately. "Are you feeling better?" Harry asked, genuinely concerned for my well-being.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I lied, faking the energy that I put into my voice. "I'm going upstairs," I announced and Lucy and Erza stood up immediately. "No, you two stay down here if you want too. Come up whenever you feel like it." As I trudged upstairs Lavender and Parvati were looking at me with concern.

"Are you ok Evelyn?" Lavender asked.

"Yeah I'll be fine," I told her and then I burrowed myself under my blankets.

The next couple of weeks had been good. Gray and Natsu get into fights every day, Erza yelled at them, thankfully, they didn't destroy the castle. Everyone around us was getting pumped for the Quidditch match, Slytherin versus Gryffindor. Even the teachers were lenient with homework, McGonagall gave us none and neither did Snape. "Maybe the craziness is a blessing in disguise," Lucy had commented. "At least we get a break from homework." The blonde had read about Quidditch and had told us how the game worked. Natsu seemed confused, but then he wasn't necessarily the sharpest knife in the drawer. The day of the game I felt the anticipation in the air and all the noise was hurting my ears. And I was feeling excited, believe me I was but at the same time I was feeling slightly apprehensive. The dreams I had been having weren't reassuring and they seemed to increase in intensity during the nights leading up to the first match.

At breakfast that day Gray and Natsu were getting along, but in true Fairy Tail spirit they were going head to head with Gajeel and Malfoy. "Just because we're friends doesn't mean I won't beat you with everything I got if we lose," Natsu had growled and I went up to join them. A fistfight, as always, followed the threats. Ignoring the chaos Harry was comforting Ron.

"I must've been mental to do this," Ron uttered, looking a little bit sick. "Mental."

"Don't be thick," Harry lectured, "You're going to be fine it's normal to be nervous.

"I'm rubbish. I'm lousy. I can't play to save my life. What was I thinking?" the ginger continued to berate himself.

"Get a grip," Harry ordered.

"You'll do great Ron," Lucy tried to comfort him as well. "You do fine in practice. Anyway you shouldn't be nervous just think of all your friends and family supporting you." I smiled at Lucy's advice, in true Fairy Tail manner she had told him that he would be ok. All the dragonslayers except for me were crowding around together whispering so softly that even I couldn't hear them.

When we all got down to the Quidditch pitch before the match could start I shivered and it wasn't from the cold. "Natsu, do you feel like something bad is going to happen?" I asked quietly.

"Yeah, I do, I just hope that it's nothing too bad," my older brother replied observing our surroundings and I could tell he was alert for anything out of the ordinary. In a couple of minutes the match started and Lee Jordan, a Gryffindor we had met, began commentating.

"And it's Johnson, Johnson with the quaffle, what a player that girl is. I've been saying it for years but she still won't go out with me-." His commentary was interrupted when McGonagall yelled at him. "Just a fun fact, Professor, adds a bit of interest." My friends and I laughed at his narration and while it was entertaining I couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen.

The match continued and nothing happened and I thought that maybe, just maybe, our hunches were wrong. After the Gryffindors scored their first goal I tensed at a slightly familiar scent that should be in Earthland, not Earth. "Natsu," I whispered and he was shaking with adrenaline and anger next to me.

Yeah, I guess I could be considered somewhat cruel but at least it isnt like the manga atm. See you guys later!
