Fragments through a broken Mirror

[Andromeda Fiorelli]

Setting the Scene: Andromeda is tormented, her life is spiralling out of control. She refuses to sort any of it out, to think about what she has done, who she has done it too and all the horrible things she has said. She has moved from dorm 4 after living there for 3 years with Kat and Kiera to an empty dormitory at the other end of the corridor. At night she tosses and turns more often than not she simply dares not sleep for when she does, the dreams slide into the abyss of nightmares. Her mind trying to reconcile the girl she was with the one she is becoming. From now on she will be referred to as Andromeda for the Andy that everyone once knew has fallen through the cracks and in her place the image, the illusion that was shown to her at the Black Serpent is slowly materialising. When the nightmares become too much, she wakes screaming but tonight she does not wake. Instead she climbs from her bed, the long white victorian style nightdress, a gift from her godmother floats about her. Her pale feet touch the cool ground as her dark red hair tumbles about her shoulders. She sleep walks, moving silently like the specters that roam the school day and night. Through the corridor to the common room and out onto the seventh floor corridor. As if aware that at that moment the stair case moves, Andromeda stops. Her amber eyes are vacant yet they are focused on something, so deep within her. The portraits about her yawn and stretch in the darkness some peer over at her and mistake her for another ghost, so she is ignored.

The staircase comes around and her foot, the ankle nearly decimated by the werewolf touches the cold wooden stair but she does not wake. Slowly with determination as if she continues onwards...

Andromeda saw the shape before her, not recognising it but knowing she must follow it she did so. Her hand outstretched, reached towards the illusive person or thing before her. In the distance she could hear the howling, the loud howls and she twitched. Her heart beat faster and desperately she wanted to go there instead, follow the call that almost serenated her but the image shifted once more. Andromeda knew she must follow this first, if she reached it everything would be fine. All would be well. Voices of people she recognised echoed behind her but she knew she should not get distracted from her purpose. Onwards she continued...

Her Sleep Walking Continues...

 

[Kiera Kaster]

Kiera was sitting in the common room at a table. She was still dressed in her muggle outfit from that day. She was sitting at a table in the common room with a mess of books around her. Anyone who said that NEWT year was easy was lying. Kiera had been doing work and studying since after dinner.

That's when she saw her former best friend walking down the stairs and then out the portrait hole. Kiera was pretty pissed off at Andy. She had been a total b1tch lately and insulted Kiera multiple times. This was Kiera's chance to get her back. She was going to get Andy for being out after curfew. The Head Girl rose from her table. She quietly followed the younger girl, trying not to make too much noise in her heels. She had taken to heels lately to make her taller.

After a few moments, it was clear to Kiera that Andy was sleep walking. Her curious nature took over and she decided to follow Andy for the time being. She wanted to see where this took her. Then, when she figured out it out, Kiera would get Andy for breaking curfew.
