ELARA WAS AWAKE IN HER DORMITORY, WRITING FURIOUSLY IN THE NOTEBOOK HERMIONE GIFTED HER FOR CHRISTMAS. she had just awoken from a terrifying nightmare drenched in sweat and shaking all over. she peered at her roommate, aspen lovelace, who was soundly asleep. aspen slept like a rock and therefore had no issues with elara's night terrors.

i feel like i'm going crazy. my nightmares are getting more and more realistic everytime i fall asleep. tonight's dream was of either murder or attempted murder, for when the man with the knife brought it down, i woke.
the man looked like he hadn't had a good meal in years. his hair was scraggly and slightly greasy. he was paler than draco, which is no easy feat. his face was so hollow that his cheekbones casted shadows on his face. the man's clothes hung off of him like they were two sizes too big.
he was standing near a bed when he lunged for the curtains and slashed them up. i can't think of any reason why he would. maybe he has a flair for dramatics. the man turned to the bed he was nearest to and leered over it maliciously. lightning flashes and he brings the knife down.
i have no idea what the hell this is about.
elara sighed. she pulled her wild black hair into a knot on the back of her head and rubbed her eyes. an overwhelming craving for banana bread pulled her to her feet. she plucked a soft blanket off the edge of her four-poster bed and laid it over her shoulders, pulling it tight.
"aaarrgghh! nooo!" she heard a faint yell and then a door slamming.
worried someone was hurt, elara yanked open her own dormitory door and ran towards the sound. she reached the bottom on the girls dormitories stairs and saw a figure run out the portrait hole.
fear fueled elara.
she sprinted up the steps towards the boy's dormitories, towards the sound of unmistakable panic. elara yanked open the door and was met with the sight of four boys right in front of her.
"what's happened?" she demanded, eyes wide with panic.
"sirius black with a knife! he slashed the curtains!" ron answered while shaking tremendously.
elara caught sight of the curtains and blanched. this was uncannily familiar to her dream. her mind went to the person running out the common room. sirius black. she had just seen sirius black. she said nothing as she turned and fled down the stairs with harry, ron, seamus, and dean tailing behind her. doors opened as they ran past, sleepy voices calling out to them.
