Misha_Black: Thanks for your wonderful review and I am happy to know you are enjoying this! I try to write at least 2k words per chapter, but sometimes it just doesn't work out, but I also keep them small so people with busy lives can read a short chapter without getting too lost. And, I honestly, as a reader, I prefer shorter chapters with frequent updates. Also, I wouldn't be able to update everyday if I made them much longer. :) I hope this doesn't cause you to stop reading.

Chapter 15-
"Please help him!" the frantic voice begged over and over as the woman gripped Dahlia's robes. "Please! Do something!"
"I-I can't..." Dahlia said, avoiding her eyes. "You know... You know I can't..."
"There must be something you can do!" The woman demanded.
"I-"
Dahlia sat up in bed, breathing heavily from the nightmare. "Harry..." she whispered, wiping away a tear that had built up in her sleep. She hastily tossed her covers off her and switched into the shoes that she used for walking.
"What are you doing?" Hermione asked sleepily when she heard Dahlia open the door to their dorm.
"Nothing." Dahlia said. "Go back to sleep." She made her way down to the common room.
"Do you think he's still in the infirmary?" Dahlia heard Ron whisper.
"It's just a broken wrist, Ron." Harry told him. "Knowing Nev, he's probably forgotten the password."
"Harry!" Dahlia gasped. He was alright!
"What's wrong, Lia?" Harry asked as she crashed into him, hugging him.
"I just..." she took a deep breath, steadying herself. "Had a bad dream is all, I dreamt you were eaten by a big dog."
Ron eyed her strangely. "Anyone tell you that you're a bit on the weird side?"
"We were wondering where Nev is." Harry informed Dahlia quickly to prevent an argument from happening.
"You're going to look for him?" Dahlia asked.
"Well, just to check the stairs." Harry shrugged.
"You wouldn't want to get Gryffindor in trouble, would you?"
The boys groaned to the voice of Hermione Granger.
"Go back to bed." Ron grumbled, making his way to the portrait.
"But you'll get caught and all the points I earned today will be void!" Hermione insisted, following Ron out of the Common Room, Harry and Dahlia hurrying behind her.
"We're only worried about Neville." Harry assured Hermione.
"There he is!" Dahlia pointed down the case of stairs to a plump shivering body. "Nevvie!"
"Oh, I am so glad you are here!" Neville gasped in relief as they hurried to him. "The Bloody Baren's been by two times already!" He whimpered. "I had forgotten the password and the Fat Lady refused to let me in without it."
"It's okay, Nev, we know it." Dahlia patted his back to comfort him.
"How's your arm?" Harry asked eyeing it.
"It's fine." Neville said, holding his arm up. "Madam Pomfrey fixed it in just a minute."
"Can we go back to the Common Room now?" Hermione asked impatiently.
The first year Gryffindors climbed the stairs back up to the Fat Lady.
"Where'd she go?!" Neville asked when he noticed the portrait was empty.
"Oh great!" Hermione hissed. "She's gone off for a break! What are we going to do?! Fifty points to each of us. Two hundred and fifty points! A week of points gone! Gone!"
"Hush!" Dahlia covered Hermione's mouth with her hand. "We'll just go get Professor McGonagall and explain everything."
Hermione nodded eagerly and Dahlia removed her hand. Harry started down the long trail of staircases to the Head of Gryffindor's chambers.
"We need to watch out for Filch." Hermione warned them in a whisper.
"And his evil cat." Ron added.
They walked for a few moments in silence until Neville let out a shriek and smacked into Dahlia, startling her and knocking her down, him rolling over the top of her and crashing into a stand that held a large vase.
"Look out!" Harry shouted, catching the vase just as it was about to topple on Neville. Ron assisted Harry and set it back into its perfect position on its stand.
"Someone's coming!" Hermione whispered. "Come on!" She gestured them to follow her.
"Naughty students out of bed." They heard a voice sneer. "Go get them, my sweet."
"Filch." Harry informed them with no necessity.
"Oh Merlin!" Neville whimpered.
"Shh!" Ron told him as the five of them inched along a wall as quietly as they could.
"They are getting closer..." Dahlia whispered. "We should run. He's much slower than us."
Harry nodded. "Okay..." and with that, they took off as fast as their legs could carry them, making a racket as they did so against the quiet hollow corridor. Harry, the fastest of them all, took the lead, having no idea where he was going.
After many corridors and two passage ways later, they wound up near their Charms classroom. Professor McGonagall's chambers were three floors above them.
"I think we've lost them." Harry said through heavily breathing. The five first years leaned up against the wall, catching their breath. Dahlia's lungs burnt like fire, and she and Neville were stuck in a coughing fits.
"We are not that far away." Hermione pointed out, when she could talk normally again.
Harry nodded. "Let's go then."
They didn't get far along before something came shooting out of a classroom.
"Oh!" A voice squealed. "Ickle Firsties wandering out past curfew! How naughty of you the lotty."
"Go away, please!" Harry pleaded. "We're only trying to get help from Professor McGonagall."
"Leave us be, Peeves!" Ron said.
"Wouldn't Filch love to know this? I ought to tell him." Peeves said innocently with glittering eyes. "How else would you learn then?"
"Just get out of our way, Peeves!" Ron shoved at him.
Peeves' face scowled before he started shouting, "STUDENTS OUT OF BED!" Over and over.
They took off after that, not wanting to get caught. Harry lead them to the end of the corridor to a locked door.
"We're trapped." Harry announced after trying to open it.
"What do we do?" Ron whimpered. "I don't want to get expelled! What would Mum and Dad say? And my wand..." he looked at it lovingly. "Oh, they'll break my wand!"
"Oh, move over!" Hermione snatched Harry's wand and unlocked the door with a spell before slipping inside. The rest of them followed, and together they shut the door.
The group listened as Peeves teased Filch with the knowledge of the first years whereabouts. Dahlia wondered why Peeves just didn't tell Filch their location.
"We'll be fine." Harry told them when Filch's cursing voice faded. Harry pushed Neville away who had been clutching in fear onto his bathrobe. "What's wrong with you, Nev?" He asked the shuddering boy.
Dahlia looked to where Neville pointed and her heart began racing in fear. "The-The dog, Harry!" She gasped. "Like in my dream!"
"You sure know how to dream!" Ron shrieked at the nasty, huge three headed beast of a dog.
It started growling then. Harry fumbled with the door, opening it back up. The first years fell backward into a ball, Harry slammed the door shut and they all, with shaky legs, ran back up the way they had came from. None of them stopped running until they got back to the entrance of their common room, the Fat Lady having had returned to their relief. The Fat Lady scolded them, but not one of them cared.
"Pig Snout." Harry repeated over and over with frantic gasping.
Once inside, they each collapsed into an arm chair and didn't speak for a while. Neville was as white as a ghost.
"Harry...in my nightmare... that... that thing, it ate you- shredded you a part into many pieces!" Dahlia told him. "Don't go back there, please, Harry!" She said tearfully.
"I don't plan on it." Harry muttered.
"Why would they house such a dangerous beast?!" Ron demanded. "It could have killed us!"
"I think its guarding something." Hermione said thoughtfully. "Didn't you see the trap door?"
"I was kind of distracted by its three heads, Hermione." Harry said.
Hermione stood up, glaring at them. "I'm going up to my dorm now and count my blessings that I am still alive and not expelled!"
Dahlia followed her, thinking that that was a swell idea.
"I can't believe them!" Hermione shrieked.
"They were only worried about Neville." Dahlia defended them.
"Yes, well, next time they should alert Percy about a missing student!"
"And we could have alerted Audrey just the same." Dahlia pointed out.
Hermione huffed before laying down to sleep, unwilling to admit that Dahlia had spoken the truth.
