Jason Grey pulled back the sheets from his bed and shook himself awake. It took him some time to get back to complete consciousness. He looked out the window and saw a pitch black canvas lit up by bright stars in the sky. Jason was having a pretty hard time trying to get to sleep. Picking up his wand, he stood up as quietly as he could. Tip-toeing down to the Hufflepuff Common Room, he sat down in the comfortable, black leather couches furnished there. A chill went through his body due to the cold feel of the leather, but dissapeared soon.
Everything seemed quiet. Everyone was probably out with dates, doing homework in their dorm rooms, or out in the Great Hall. Times like these made him ponder. About his personal life, studies, and most of all...the night his parents were killed. Every day, Jason would have nightmares of the same scene of his parents dying. It occured when he was seven years old. On the dark night of October 13th, a couple mysterious, hooded people walked up to his beautiful house. He could still remember every single detail of it. Jason Grey was playing with his restrainment wand for young children in his room. His parents were worried because of rumors and threats. This was due to the fact that they were heading a new department in the Ministry of Magic to destroy new threats of the Dark Ages. Anyways...these two same people would creep up to the house and utter a spell. Suddenly, the house would go up in flames. Jason could still hear the screams of his parents...
Shaking the thoughts from his mind, he stood up with a groan. Using a Disallusionment Charm, he cloaked himself in invisibility. Silently, he walked out of the firelit Hufflepuff common room into the dimly lit halls of Hogwarts. Some of the Prefects and Heads were still up, but he did not bother about them. Occasionally, Jason found the unusual silence in the stone halls to be disturbing. Today...he felt as if it was necessary. Working his way up from the Kitchen to the Black Lake on the Grounds, nothing seemed to be able to disrupt him. On the other hand, time seemed to stop and he appeared on the Seventh Floor in an instant. Moving to the large, open window at the edge of the castle, he swung his legs over the edge and sat down. Looking up, he breathed in the cool winter night air. It seemed to revitalize him. The Hufflepuff shivered, but quickly came over the cold rush. Sighing deeply, Jason Grey laid his head back on the cool stone and stared up at the twinkling stars.
Breathing in the cold air, it sent a chill down his spine and filled his lungs. In his mind there was nothing better than the fresh spring air of the late night. Suddenly, Jason heard the slow pattering of footsteps behind him. They seemed to get louder with every step. He knew the person was getting closer. His heart was pounding heavily. Of course Jason Grey was scared that it might be a Prefect, or worse, a professor.
All of a sudden...his heart calmed down into a slow, rythmic thudding. He did not care if anyone found him. Breathing in and out once each very deeply, Jason took a swig of the butterbeer bottle in his hand. Gulping it down, it revitalized his dry throat and quenched his thirst. The rush of sugar provided by the butterbeer brought him back to reality...kind of. Uh oh. Now Jason was going to get sugar high. This had been a problem for him since a young age. Simply put: He was a candyholic. Taking a piece of candy from his personal stash in his pocket, he popped it into his mouth and smiled in satisfaction./blockquote] |
