"So is Harry like a good guy now?" Milo scoffed

"he always was." River added

"That still doesn't explain the dreams" Blaise sighed

"We haven't made it that far but we need to leave if we ever want to find out" I stood from the couch.

"She's right, let's grab our things and meet back here in 30 minutes" Pansy stood up as well.

I grabbed my clothes and a few books, shoving them into my bag.

I didn't want to leave...I really didn't, but we have no choice.

A gentle knock came from my door.

I opened it slightly to see Draco standing right outside of it.

"Is there something wrong?" I scoffed

"Can I come in?" He asked

"Sure" I stepped back, allowing him to walk in.

"I think there's something else about our dreams that might make this more complicated." He sat down on my bed

"What do you mean?"

"Some of them just don't make sense...some you know they're memories because you are experiencing it through your own eyes?"

"Yeah...I don't understand where this is going"

"I think some of them reflect our future" he gulped

"What?" I sat down next to him

"Last night I had another dream...it was different." His jaw clenched and his breathing intensified

"I'm going to need more explaining than that"

"Star, you were....dead"

my smile quickly faded

"we were alone, and I was kneeling beside you. It was like I was watching myself trying to save you." His breathing became heavier and sweat began pooling on his forehead.

"It could have just been an actual dream"

"No...it was real" his breath was ragged

"I'll be okay" I grabbed his hand.

"it could have been a warning...if we didn't leave."

"Do you have your stuff ready?" I asked

He nodded

"Let's go, yeah?" I smiled weakly

We both stood up and walked to the common room.

"Okay, I grabbed a map from the library. If we follow the coordinates I drew out we can make it to the sea and to boat haul. We'll take the boat to an unmarked island and then from there we'll rest up and sail to America got it?" Emerson glanced to us

We all nod.

"Why can't we just apparate?" Pansy asked

"That's the tricky part...we can...you can only apparate so far and so much until the ministry begins to track your movements...we don't need a path leading them right to us" she closed the map and stuck it in her bag.

"We'll use a port key to travel to London for now. My family has some distant relatives that own a bed and breakfast for us to stay in for the night." Emerson continued
