A Weapon For Nightmares
Sarah, Albus, Rose, and James set onward, but all together. Sarah and Albus walked the way they did yesterday and tried to find the footprints, with James and Rose following them. "Where did the footprints go?" Albus asked, scratching his hair making it more messier. "I dunno, wait didn't I land here!" Sarah said pointing at a rock. She spotted a hint of wood and ran to the door, moving the leaves and vines, revealing a familiar mark. "Lets go in-" Rose yelled running towards it, but Sarah quickly held her back. "No, not yet. You can't just cast a simple Alohamora and think'll open. It might be locked for a reason, you won't find a random door in the middle of the forest..." Sarah's voice trailed off, she stared at the door. The mark on it seemed so familiar, when suddenly Sarah's arm began to hurt again, she remembered that was the symbol she saw when she was kidnapped... The Dark Mark.
"When are we going in?" James asked, "did you bring your Invisibility Cloak Albus?", Albus nodded and brought it out, revealing it's colors. "Yeah I do, I always bring it with me" then he vanished, or just dissapeared. "Hey I wanna be inside it too!" Rose exclaimed, vanishing in the cloak too. Sarah and James were all there, visible, until Sarah felt something, not in her, but behind her. She looked back, but it was only a bush, but it rattled again. She signaled James and both crept nearer to the bush.
"ARGH!!!" A man called and jumped on James, wrestling to death. Sarah took out her wand and pointed it the man "Stop it! Expelliarmus!" Sarah shouted, the man flew over the door and landed on the grass, moaning in pain. "Thanks, Sarah." James said rubbing dirt of his outfit, but Sarah saw a big cut on his right shoulder, "Oh no, you have a wound! We need to wrap it, here..." she said, grabbing a white piece of cloth from her saddle bag, and wrapping it on his shoulder. "W-who are you?!" she shouted at the man, trembling. But he stopped and looked up, James and Sarah saw him smiling. "Who am I? I'm.... Andrew. I'm an Auror" he told them standing up, Sarah and James pointed their wands at him threathingly, but he remained calm. "I don't mean harm, I just thought you were going in there..." then he pointed at the door. "Nice in Invisibility Cloak, anyways. Ah, you must be Sarah, am I right? Yoy have your father's eyes" Andrew said to Sarah, "secret" Sarah muttered at the corner of her mouth. Andrew nodded, and started to walk away. "Woah, woah, woah. You're not just leaving. Why are you here, in the first place?" James asked, "because, I'm an Auror ("I know what that is!"), it's my job to find Dark wizards. You see that mark? Thats the Dark Mark, a common mark of Death Eaters." He explained, they both exchanged looks.
"Um... Okay" Sarah said sheepishly, but Andrew smiled broadly. "I guess I better be off. I'll see you 4 soon, Oh and Sarah...." he paused and whispered in her ear: "tell your dad Hi for me. Keep safe..." Then he winked, both of them watched as he dissapeared. "Well, now we know that this headquarters is full of dark wizards. What do we do now?" James asked, "Albus, Rose? Where are you?", but Sarah caught a glimpse of a footprint and took the cloak out of the two. "Aw man!" Rose said, "we were trying to prank you!" Albus added, the both of them laughed. "But, isn't the Dark Mark the Death Eaters symbol? Well, that might be a part of this. And well, if Death Eaters, then we have Voldemor-" James said to Sarah ignoring the others but was cut by Albus. "I TOLD YOU TO NOT SAY HIS NAME!" Albus exclaimed, he looked pale, and his fists clenched then unclenched. "Why?" Sarah asked, Albus ignored her and started to walk back to the tent. "He's having nightmares about him. Saying that You-Know-who was torturing him, and been've waking up 3am ever since." James whispered, then both started to walk back too. Sarah knew Albus was brave, but she never knew that he feared Lord Voldemort, himself. "Well, how does he get back to sleep?" Sarah replied. "Well, he doesn't, I just let him stay there whimpering. Quite annoying really." James answered then stared at the sky, it was already 24 minutes past 1pm. "Actually, I never heard of Lily Luna. What happened to her?" Sarah asked, James smiled to amusement. "Well I guess Lily is getting a grip on. She told me she's getting along with friends, but I see her fight with others lately..." James said, but before Sarah can reply, they were already bsck at the tent. "Let's try and rest, I think we got a bit of enough info today" Sarah told them, crashing into the sofa. "Put your shoes off the sofa!" Rose shouted, laughing at the same time. Whoops, sorry about that-" Sarah replied, taking her shoes off, revealing black and white socks with letter S's on them from Christmas. "Wanna do something?" Rose asked, "I dunno what to do." Sarah said. "How about a game of tag?"
"Too many things to break."
"Card games?"
"Not really into it."
"Well then, I guess rest will do."
Sarah relaxed herself, when Albus went out of the boy's bedroom. "I'm going outside." he muttered then opened the flap of the curtain making a ray of sunshine enter. "I'm coming with him." Sarah said and went out too." "Those too really need to see whats in front of them" Rose whispered to herself and pulled out a magazine.

>Conversation Mode😂<
S: Hey Albus...
A: Hi
S: What'ya up to?
A: Nothing really.
S: Why so lonely?
A: I've had a dream of him...last night. Torturing me, and he used the Killing Curse on me.
S: You-know-who?
A: Yeah
S: You know Albus, when I was a toddler, I had a weapon to fight off my nightmares.
A: Really? What is it?
S: It's not a thing, but a memory. Before dad left me as a baby, I started crying. He picked me up and cradled me, but I never stopped. Then he sang me this song, wanna hear it?
A: Sure, why not.
S: Here it goes:
🎶Close your eyes,
Dry your tears,
Your with me now,
You'll be safe here...🎶
>Third Person<
Albus listened to the song carefully. It was chilly outside so Sarah brought out her blanket and wrapped it around him. "And that helped me back to sleep, still does" Sarah added, Albus sighed deeply. "I just wish he won't haunt me anymore" he grunted, furrowing his eyebrows. Sarah on the otherhand, cross her arms and laughed. "What's so funny?" Albus asked, with a serious (SIRIUS😂) tone. "I just remember funny moments when I'm sad. It helps a lot, you try it!" Sarah told him wiping a small tear in her eye. "I don't know, I'm really depressed right now..." he muttered, staring at the sky, hoping to remember something. "Remember when we were battling that troll and you wouldn't stop panicking? Classic" she reminded. Albus started to smile, "yeah, that was pretty funny" he answered, giggling. "And remember that time when Filch accidentally got pie on his face by Peeves!" Sarah started to laugh histerically she fell on the ground. Albus started to laugh too, and lied down with her. "Thanks Sarah," he said, she smiled and felt the wind around her.

The next day, Albus went in the kitchen, cheerfully sat down. "Hey Al, how come you didn't woke up 3 last night?" James asked, looking shocked. "Well, I got a weapon," he answered. "What weapon?" Rose asked curiously, "thats between me and Sarah..." he said quietly then winked at her. Sarah winked back and ate happily, at least she helped a friend out.
