After Charms, I packed away my things and waved goodbye to Dream whilst we was still struggling to pack up.
I giggled to myself and left to the Astronomy Wing.
That's weird, why do I have Astronomy now? Shouldn't I be going there when its dark?
I went to the classroom anyway to seek answers to my question.
When I entered, everyone was huddled in groups and whispering.
Strange...
I walked over to my seat, next to Karl, and sat down with him with a worried expression plastered onto my fair skin.
"Hey, Karl, do you know why everyone is all whispering to eachother and stuff?" Karl glanced up at my and stopped fiddling with his items. "Oh, apparently it's too dangerous to do it at midnight, so we're doing it now instead." He said with a blank expression. I raised a brow which he ignored.
That couldn't of been it. He's obviously stressed about something, whether it's about this or not, I wanted to find out.
I heard a loud bang from my left and turned to see Sapnap on the floor with his textbooks displayed onto it.
Maybe I could ask him what's going on...
He looked up as I crouched at his side and picked up the loose items and book and tugging him up by the arm placing them in his hands, "Do you know why any of this is happening?" I spoke in a hushed tone. "W-what? No... Why would I know about that..?"
He really needs to get better acting skills.
I let out a sigh, shaking my head with my hand preched on top of my dark curls.
"It's obvious you know something Sapnap, why don't you just tell me? Is it that bad? Look, Karl seems really scared and I know he doesn't want to talk about it, and I don't really want to be asking strangers, so just spit it out!" I sounded more annoyed then I actually did, and loosened my posture as a unspoken sorry.
"Could you meet me after school? I could tell you then, just not now..." I shook my head again, "Can you do tomorrow break instead? I'm with Dream tonight." Sapnap raised a suspicious brow but nodded, "OK, loverboy..."
My face went pink at his answer as he walked away before I could retaliate.
"George, why are you out of your seat?" I froze in spot and slowly turned to the professor, "O-oh, no reason, I'll sit down now." I hurriedly walked to my seat as he hummed in response.
And his reaction to that just made everything even more confusing!
Mr Manifold was normally a really relaxed teacher, who didn't really care what you did as long as you did the work, so why was he so strict now?
~♧~♧~Time skip - After Class~♧~♧~
I spent pretty much the whole class messing up and getting easy things wrong. I was worried, really worried. Karl was too. And it only made me more stressed.
Everything was so out of place.
Sapnap was normally straight up and was normally truthful about his answers. Karl was never this paranoid in class. He didn't even speak, not to the teacher, not to me, and not even to Sapnap. And then Mr Manifold, he's normally super laid back, so why was he so uptight now? It didn't make any sense. It seemed as if everyone knew and I was the only one who didn't.
I walked down the lantern-lit corridors and stairways and left the castle, instead going to Dreams house. The place where the party was.
When I arrived, I felt shivers swim down my spine. All of the bad memories here started to come back at me in waves.
Karl leaving me. Finding that door. Seeing... K-kyle and Dream... P-passing out...
I looked down at my hands and saw a salty tear land in my sweating palms. I wiped my eyes and tried to brighten my posture.
With reluctant hands, I knocked onto the framed door, awaiting a response.
A couple seconds later, and alot of loud thumps and shuffling, I saw Dream open the door.
I smiled up at him, still wearing his Slytherin coloured cloak and uniform.
"Hey," I looked up at him with a smile, "Can I come in..?" Dream escaped his trance and blinked a few times before quickly nodding and nervously laughing. "Oh, yeah, just leave your shoes here, whatever, let's go."
He jogged up the stairs and walked down the opened corridor behind me, his figure almost hidden by a chandelier, making a mental note of the directions in my head.
I took a quick glance around the nearby rooms, infront of me was a white marble staircase that turned to the right leading up around the house. There was a telescope and lusciously green potted plant sat next to the stairs, along with a small table with a book and a small succulent on top.
Placing my shoes down onto the dark hardwood floors, I followed his trail up the stairs.
When I got up to the next floor, I trailed my hand along the banisters, I gazed wondrously at the glowing chandelier, glass gems and draping lights hanging from it's golden frame.
On my right was a line of two doors, an equal amount away from eachother, although some further down the next corridor having bigger gaps.
I looked at the two doors, stuck in place, like I had to choose which one was an escape door and which ones meant certain death.
I entered the door on the right and walked in on a small girl sat on her bed talking to someone on the phone. She looked familiar. Light blonde hair, dulled down green eyes, the bright smile on her face.
"Uhm, excuse me? Who are you... oh, I remember you now. Could you leave, I'm kind of on a call right now?" I closed the door with a surprised look on my face, they were siblings? I feel bad, she has put up with Dream all the time.
I turned around and saw Dream holding in his laughter before exploding into a fit of wheezes and gasps of air.
I stared down at his crumpled body that was now on the floor with an unimpressed look on my face.
Whilst walking to the other door that was on the next corridor, I was stopped by Dream tugging my leg, causing me to fall over.
Honestly, it was kind of funny, but extremely annoying at the same time.
Was this what it was like to have siblings? I wouldn't know, my sister left a long time ago...
"Dream! Let me get up! We haven't even started writing on the poster and we have one lesson left to fix it! Come on!" I said with desperation in my voice.
"Guys can you be quiet? I'm on a flipping call bro." She turned around and left again hearing some muffled words from her room again, "Oh, no-one, just my brother and his boyfriend bring idiots..."
I blushed and pushed Dream off of me and stomped into his room, with a now weak Dream following behind me.
I sat down on his bed and looked around at his rather green room.
It had light green walls, with fairy lights draped around the edges. Behind me was a large window gazing a soft glow into the cozy room. To my right was three wooden shelves stacked with books and Quidditch trophies. Under the shelves, was a small desk with pots of pens and papers spread around with various stacks of notes.
Infront of me to my left was his door coat hanging from it's hanger. And to the right of that was a large wardrobe with small circle lights shining onto some of his clothes.
Dream sat on his chair and span roujs to face me, fingers interlocking with eachother, an almost evil grin on his face.
"Let's start."
