"𝓴𝓲𝓵𝓵 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓶 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓼𝓾𝓬𝓬𝓮𝓼𝓼 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓫𝓾𝓻𝔂 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓶 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓪 𝓼𝓶𝓲𝓵𝓮."
🅻auren tossed and turned on her bed, sweat pouring down her cheeks as she gasped for air. The nightmares have come again. Every night, whenever she clambered onto the silk bed on her room of the Slytherin Girls' Dormitory, visions of her family would haunt her. They would push her either into a bottomless bit with the blackened eyes of darkness staring up at her. She was able to feel it without looking, vividly as though it was lurking in her very skin.

This all had started when the young Slytherin entered Hogwarts, yet she could never find out why. Compared to her late childhood, Lauren's first two weeks at Hogwarts would be considered un-stressful, if not carefree. This had been very much unlike her life back in the Vanes family's manor; her siblings wouldn't get the chance to bully her, embarrass her, or try to make her life miserable in every single second of the day. Yet they could still find a way to get to her -- in her dreams.

The Slytherin didn't want any of this! She didn't control how her family came to hate her. She didn't control her first instance of magic, which was singing her bedside table, making the members of the Vanes family think that she, Lauren, was a monster! She didn't ask for that! But they hated her, and the first year would have to live with it.

She would always have to try and put up with everything. Pretend that she didn't give a care on the outside to try and stop them. She didn't care about what they thought about her, but their actions would still sink deep in her heart. Did her family really hate her enough to do this? And did she really deserve this?

No. She didn't.

Slowly she walked out of her bed and into the Classroom. Remembering how overthinking turned out for her a few days ago, the Slytherin practically ran up the stairs. She couldn't afford to be late, and embarrass herself in front of the class.

She looked around, found that she was early, and sat on one of the seats in the back row, still very much immersed in her thoughts as she waited for the class to begin.

Not the kind where she didn't get enough sleep (even though with her, it was that kid of tired as well... she hadn't slept properly in 3 days.) She was mentally tired. Not because she was pressured due to studies, but because there were too many expectations for a person who was bullied regularly by her cousins. And the worst part was that no one used to pay attention to her unless she would tell them. It was like she was invisible to them. So she became invisible. Balls and parties? Sitting in a corner, drinking a glass of juice. Dinners with friends and family? At the corners of the table, trying to eat the least amount of food as fast as she could. But now, after coming to Hogwarts, she felt free. At least freer than before. Still, she hesitated. A lot. She couldn't just make new friends, her being all introverted and whatnot.

She made her way hurriedly to her classroom. She had skipped breakfast, and most probably, her dorm mates had already forgotten about her, as everyone always seemed to. She needed some time alone.

She opened the door, expecting no one to be there. To her surprise, there was a girl already sitting in one of the back rows. She seemed deep in thought. Lily thought that she saw a glimmer of loneliness in her eyes, though she couldn't be entirely sure of that.

Looking back though, Lily recognised a bit of herself in that girl. The way she carried herself, as if she didn't want to be the center of attention. The way her eyes were all dimmed, but she was still trying to be as happy as she could. Maybe she was also facing family issues. Who knew?

Lily decided not to disturb her and just took a seat in the back row and put her head against the wall. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and just generally tried to remain calm enough.
