Draco walked down the hallway the potion in hand. It was past 2 am so no one would be awake at this time.

He quietly opened the door to the hospital wing and crept in.

He knew it was wrong to give Anna the sleeping potion but he had no choice. If he had the option he wouldn't of given it to her.

Draco walked over to Anna's sleeping form before opening up the bottle.

"Mr.Malfoy!" Madame Pomfrey quietly exclaimed walking over. Draco panicked and hid the small bottle in his pocket.

"Uh, it's none of your business!" He snapped.

"Professor Dumbledore's office...now!" Madame Pomfrey stated leading him out of the Hospital Wing and to Dumbledore.

Remus Lupin was walking fast down the hallway going into a light jog. He's gotten an owl stating that Anna was awake.

Once he arrived he engulfed Anna in a hug. Relief went through him because he feared he would have lost his niece. He's lost so many people already he just can't stand the thought of something happening to her to.

Anna began to shake as sobs shook through her. She gripped onto her uncles shirt as she cried. He lightly rocked them back and forth.

"He got inside my head." She cried her voice muffled from Remus's shirt. She pulled away as tears streamed down his face. "I couldn't stop it this time. He got inside my head again. It was like I was him. I saw what he saw. I saw him...torturing and killing people." She said her voice was shaking as another sob shook through her.

Remus saw his niece slip through the cracks and he can't do anything but comfort her as best he can.

He hugged her again.

"It's alright now. Everything will be alright." He told her. She shook her head.

Eventually Anna fell asleep and was rested back into bed.

Remus and Dumbledore came to an agreement for Anna to come home for Christmas a week earlier then the other students.

After Anna has awoken Remus took her back to Grimmauld Place.

She didn't say anything but went upstairs to her room, slamming the door behind her and also leaving her trunk downstairs.

Anna was furious. At Voldemort and herself.

She was weak. Anna thought. She looked over at the unlit fireplace in her room. She glared at the wood before it burst into flames. She lightly laughed to herself. 

She went over and sat in front of the fire with her legs criss crossed. She shut her eyes as if she were meditating. A breeze picked up and circled her going faster and faster causing papers to fly around and books opening. The fire grew as well.

"Anna" Her uncle yelled from outside the door. He heard the noise causing him to panic. 

Anna's eyes shot open as the wind instantly died down and the fire was lower then before. Anna stood up and walked over to her door before opening it. Remus looked down at her alarmed.

"What was that? Are you okay?" He questioned, scanning her for any visible injuries.

"I'm fine and I was just playing with one of things I've bought at Fred and George's shop." She lied with ease. Remus visibly relaxed and sighed a breath of relief. He chuckled nervously running a hand through his graying hair.

"Right." He said. "I'm sorry." He apologized. She offered him a small smile.

"It's quite all right, Uncle Remus." She told him. He nodded once more before leaving. After he was out of sight she sighed before shutting the door, sliding down against it. Once she closed her eyes images flashed before her of the things she's seen when she was 'asleep.'
