Mia awoke in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. She once again had her recurring nightmare of the night her family was attacked when she was just 4 years old, but tonight it was much more vivid than most nights. She was on the verge of a panic attack, hands shaking and clammy as she tried to calm herself. It had been years since she’d experienced a panic attack, and she didn’t want today to break that streak. She hopped out of bed and slipped down the stairs to the Ravenclaw common room. Her pajamas were not exactly roaming the halls appropriate, a pair of satin sleep shorts and a skinny strap tank top without a bra was not exactly what she would want to get caught by Filch or a Prefect, but her mind was so on edge she didn’t care. She slipped out of the common room and headed down the stairs towards the Defense against the Dark Arts classroom. She needed to see Remus.
The classroom was empty of course at this time of night, the curving staircase in the back of the classroom echoed slightly as she stepped up the stairs that led to his office. There was a shorter flight of stairs that led to the sleeping quarters up another 8 stairs or so from the office.
“Remus” she whispered as she entered his sleeping quarters. He was sound asleep with an empty glass of scotch on his bedside table next to his wand.
“Remus!” she whispered louder, but he remained unchanged.
“REMUS” she said aloud and put her hand on his shoulder. He jumped up and grabbed his wand instantly with one hand, the other pulling the sheets up to his neck. She had startled him pretty good; as it took him a second to register that it was her who woke him.
“Mia?? What on earth are you doing here?”
“I couldn’t sleep, I- had this dream, nightmare really” she stuttered, he could tell she was incredibly flustered by what she had experienced.
“accio” he said pointing to his shirt that lay across his dresser on the other side of the bedroom. He slipped it on swiftly and stood up to get a glass of water, the 5 glasses of scotch from a couple hours ago making his mouth feel dry. He looked at her for a second, seeing the distraught facial expression she was wearing.
“would you like to talk about it?” he asked, sitting down on the edge of his bed and motioning her to join him.
“it sounds so stupid when I say it aloud” she said bowing her head.
“Well its obviously not stupid if it startled you enough to come all the way here at 3am” he said, grabbing her hand to reassure her. She told him all about the night where she was attacked. She didn’t know the death eaters name who came to their house that night, her mother wouldn’t speak of many details of that night or why exactly they had been targeted. Mia always assumed it was because Susan had married a muggle. She recalled the events of how her father had been tortured with the cruciatis curse, and how her mother was barely able to defend them. Mia, being so little, hid behind the couch and covered her ears, but could still hear her father’s screams and the flashes of light around them. The fear she felt that night was the same feeling that she awakes with every time she has this nightmare.
“tonight was particularly bad” she explained, fidgeting with the hem of her shirt to keep her hands from shaking. “I could almost feel the curse that my father was experiencing, if that’s even possible.” she said as her voice broke.
Remus listened to her story and recalled his own memory of that night. It was a full moon the night it happened and he was staying with Sirius. They were visited by Mad Eye Moody a few days later to tell them that Susan and her family had been attacked. Susan was never quite the same after that night, she was still the intense, ball busting witch that they knew, but after she charmed her husband’s memory and sent him packing for America, a light within her went out, and she seemed almost hollow at times. Remus put his arm around Mia; she began to cry into his shoulder. He stroked her back and let her cry. He knew there was nothing he could say that could change the way she felt about that night, but he could at least be here for her.
Mia cried for a good twenty minutes. Remus remained quiet the entire time, and even after she stopped crying they sat there for another ten minutes or so, his arm around her. The silence wasn’t uncomfortable; they would’ve been content sitting there for the whole night quiet.
“I’m sorry” Mia said finally, breaking the silence in the room. “I didn’t mean to wake you for this”.
“Don’t apologize Mia, its ok. I do worry about you sneaking out of the common room this late at night though” he chuckled “asking for more detention”.
He cupped his hand around her cheek and pulled her face to his, and kissed her gently. The kiss started out soft, but grew in intensity. Mia shifted over and straddled him sitting on the edge of the bed. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and his hands tangled in her long dark hair, kissing her fervently. While her eyes were closed, the images of her dream began to replay in her mind. She pulled out of the kiss suddenly.
“I’m sorry, I don’t think I can do this tonight. Every time I close my eyes the dream plays through my head” she said, a couple stray tears slipping down her cheek. It had been weeks since she had the change to have sex with him, but her emotions were running wild and she couldn’t push the dream out of her head.
“Here, I think I have something that will help.” he said, wiping her tears with his thumbs. She shifted off his lap and he walked over to a cabinet in the corner of the bedroom, and pulled a small vial off one of the shelves labeled ‘sleeping draught’.
“Take this if you are having trouble sleeping, no dreams guaranteed” he said handing it to her.
“My mom said not to rely on sleeping draughts too much, they can be addictive” she said, unsure if she should take it.
“They can be, but just one won’t hurt. Save it for an emergency when you need to ensure a good night’s sleep”
“Thank you, Remus, I should be getting back.”
“Yes, I suppose so. Do you want me to escort you back? That way in case you are seen I can say I found you out of bed first and am escorting you back? Ill wave your detention” he chuckled at that last part.
“Can you give me detention with you?” Mia said, smirking at him.
“It’s Professor Trelawney’s week for detention, trust me, you don’t want it with her.” they both laughed as he got dressed to walk her back to Ravenclaw tower. Before they walked out of his office, she gave him one last kiss before they had to act as just teacher catching pupil out of bed.
It was 6 am when Mia finally snuck back into the Ravenclaw common room. She tiptoed up the stairs into the 7th year girl’s floor, and slipped into bed.
“Couldn’t sleep again?” Penelope asked her through the dark. Busted. Penelope lit a candle on her bedside table. Her ashy brown curls hung limp around her face, as if she had slept most of the night and woke to find Mia gone again.
“Yeah I just went for a walk” Mia said coolly
“You’ve been gone awhile” Penelope said, even cooler than Mia, almost icy, crossing her arms over her powder blue tank top. “There’s something you’re not telling me”
“Penny, the nightmares have been really bad, that’s all, no big deal. If there is something major, I’ll tell you”
Penelope huffed and rolled over. “That is kind of major, you know.”
Mia knew she had been pushing Penelope away ever since she started dating Percy, but he was rubbing off on her in certain ways and it really got under Mia’s skin. On the flip side, she couldn’t tell Penelope about Remus, for obvious reasons, so she sort of had to keep her in the dark
.
The week went by as normal, Mia went to her Defense Against the Dark Arts classes and exchanged looks with Remus whenever she got the chance, but this week felt like another regular old week at Hogwarts. Once Saturday rolled around, it was time for the Gryffindor Hufflepuff quidditch match. Mia had told Andrew that she would sit with him during the game, and as She, Penelope and Percy made their way to the quidditch pitch, she saw Andrew and a gaggle of Slytherins hanging about.
“Mia! Hey!” Andrew called and waved to her.
“wait, Mia, Andrew Flint?” Penelope asked with her brow raised, her blue eyes flickering at her.
“uhm..” Mia was starting to speak but interrupted by Andrew throwing his arm around her.
“where do you want to sit? Ladies choice” Andrew said as he mocked a chivalrous bow. Mia rolled her eyes and pushed him playfully. She looked around at all the boxes and saw one that a few staff members, including Remus, were sitting in.
“let’s go to that one” she said and marched off towards it, the group tailing behind.
During the first part of the game, Andrew kept trying to put his arm around Mia’s waist while they sat on the bleachers. She kept finding ways to re adjust or turning to talk to penny that sat above her that would throw off Andrew’s angle. Remus definitely saw, and Mia had a pang of guilt for sitting near him because making him jealous wasn’t her intention. He would’ve been lying if he said he wasn’t jealous of Andrew sitting with Mia, but he tried to chalk it up to two friends enjoying a quidditch match. Andrew didn’t seem to notice Mia continuously trying to shake him off, either. They watched as Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory zipped around looking for the golden snitch, and the Weasley twins bashing bludgers every which way.it was an exciting game so far, both teams eager to win as usual. Oliver Wood would throw his fists up in the air and whoop with excitement every time a Gryffindor chaser scored. Everyone including Mia rolled their eyes at this, Wood was WAY too into quidditch, it was basically all he cared about. All of a sudden, an icy breeze set in and Mia could see her breath in the air. Commotion from the stands erupted everywhere, and some of the chasers stopped flying to look around. A swarm of dementors came swarming at harry, causing him to pass out and fall from his broom. The entire crowd gasped and stood as the watched harry free fall towards the ground, broom getting swept away in the wind. Dumbledore cast a spell to stop Harry from falling and lower him safely to the ground. Most of the dementors flew off, but a lone dementor swooped down through the stands, and came right up to Mia. She began to hear a rushing sound, almost like what rapids in the river sound like, and felt very light headed. She then heard a voice, pleading to stop, and groaning in agony. She recognized this voice to be her father, on the night that he was tortured with the cruciatis curse. A silver mist whooshed past Mia, and she fell unconscious.
Panic erupted from the box that Mia, Andrew and the others were sitting in when a dementor attacked Mia. Remus had conjured the patronus, but Mia had already passed out and slumped over. Andrew was panicking, and Penelope was shrieking while Percy hugged her, dumbfounded and for once not jumping into action as Head Boy. Remus jumped down and propped Mia up.
“Mia, Mia?” he called to her as he shook her gently.
“she needs to be taken to Madam Pomfrey” Remus said to Professor Vector, who was staring in horror at what just happened. “I’ll take her to the hospital wing, you escort these students back to the castle” He scooped Mia up almost effortlessly, and walked down the stairs of the stands to go towards the castle.
“Remus, REMUS!” called Dumbledore as Remus was half way to the castle. He turned around to see the headmaster was not far behind him “they’ve taken harry to the hospital wing, is Miss Roswell alright?”
“I think so, but it looks like she got a nasty blow from that dementor” Remus said. “I’ll see to it that she is alright.”
“Thank you, yes keep me updated. I need to go deal with the dementors and figure out why they attacked.” Dumbledore shuffled off in the other direction. Remus looked down at Mia, she looked so peaceful in his arms, but he knew what she must of experienced before passing out was not peaceful at all.
