N.B. If only one entry is allowed, I may withdraw this in preference for a different story... 450 words is a really small limit for anything of any depth to it! My other stories are much better...

 

Voldemort's Nightmare

 

The boy was with me again… the red-haired brat that resembled the only Wizarding family I was yet to infiltrate. Of course, he wasn’t the only one – The brunette girl, the filthy mud-blood, was there as well.

 

I knew I saw through his eyes, Harry’s, and wished intensely that these visions would stop interrupted my much-needed sleep. And yet there was something about the activities of that boy that intrigued me…

 

This vision began no different from the others – the three disgusting children set about their homework in the Gryffindor Common Room, which itself had once fascinated me inexorably. Then they had packed up their books and gone traipsing around the castle after dark. It was against the school rules, I felt they knew it, as I had also known it in my day, and it had neither stopped me then, nor stopped them now.

They did not keep to the castle, but out into the grounds they crept, hidden beneath an invisibility cloak, like the cowards they are. I was careful to keep my own thoughts and opinions from the boys’ mind. The occlumency lessons had never been wasted on me!

 

They crept towards the forbidden forest, so long was it my hiding place and home that I felt a rising sense of anticipation. There was a chill in the air, and a silvery mist rose from the forest floor, creating a dense, cold atmosphere

 

“I don’t like it in here!†Ron whined

“Well you didn’t have to come!†Hermione retorted.

That silenced him.

 

My hatred bubbled violently beneath my skin, and the boy felt it, searing pain through his scar… how I longed to know the secret of the connection between us. I could not control it until I knew why it existed.

 

And then it happened! As the boy collapsed in agony, the invisibility cloak slipped from their shoulders and revealed them. From behind a tree, Severus Snape slunk quietly, wand raised.

 

“How dare you follow me in here! Your insolence will not be tolerated any longer… Dumbledore and Sirius were fools to trust you into my care, Potter…†Snape hissed slowly.

“Run!†I heard the boy whisper urgently to his friends.

Without hesitating. they bolted like cowardly lions, into the forest. Snape was hot on my heels, baring down on me, his wand outstretched. I met his eyes, whites full around the edges…

 

“Avada…†He spoke, and I jolted awake.

 

The nightmare disturbed me. I knew not why such a dream would scare me, or how it was that this was not a true vision, like all the others had been… The boy was getting stronger! I shivered again… that scared me too.

Thanks - glad some one enjoyed it!! lol... I hate having to cut the fics down so much to fit into the 450 word limit... even my short stories are generally about 1000 words for anything of any importance to happen!

 

I'm just putting finishes to a second entry, that I prefer more than this one...
