Running through the maze of people trying to get away from them. The ones who take me every time I run from them. They caught me again, grabbing my arm roughly and pulling me back. Dragging me back and putting the mask on my face to cover my shouts for help. The crowd disappeared as I was dragged back to the cellar I was used to. Kicking and fighting but no one would dare to help me against the soldiers.

Throwing me down where I met the eyes of the winter soldier. They pinned me down and strapped me to a chair. Attaching the machine trying to make me forget everything. To make me the perfect soldier for them yet it never seemed to work on me. I screamed for winters help but he was being held back in his cell. He and I had a connection that was like a family bond and he was hurting watching me get hurt. I knew that now after the first time he protected me from them, but it never lasted.

I felt someone shaking me awake and woke with a shout pulling out my dagger. Aiming it in the dark at whomever it was, when they flipped the light on I saw it was just Matteo.

"Matteo" I said shocked

"You were screaming in your sleep I didn't know how to help, I have them too you know" he said gently

"What?" I asked

"Nightmares I have then as well" he said sadly

"Mine are different" I huffed hugging my legs closer to my chest

"I never said we were the same princess, but whatever happened it wasn't your fault" he said and got up to leave

"Matteo wait" I said

"Yeah?" He said

"Can you uh, stay?" I asked shyly

He looked shocked before nodding and climbing into the bed beside me. I lay down and he instinctively pulled me closer and I didn't fight it. I lay my head on his chest and fell asleep to the sound of his heart beating.

Morning

I work up in strong arms and felt warm inside my body. I couldn't help but purr and snuggle closer to the source of warmth. I heard a low chuckle and my eyes opened and I scurried away from them.

"Your cute" he laughed

"Go away" I huffed and got out of bed

"Now that's not very nice" he teased

"Prim you...." Pansy came through the door

"Oh hey Matteo" Pansy said confused

"I'm gonna go" Matteo said and left

"What was that about?" Pansy asked too excited for my liking

"I had a nightmare he brought me out of it and stayed that's all" I said getting ready

"Nothing else?" She asked hopeful

"No why would anything else happen?" I asked confused as I finished getting dressed

"Never mind, umm breakfast?" She asked

"Yeah let's go" I said as she grabbed my hand leading me away

When we got down to the great hall Matteo acted as if nothing happened between us. It wasn't anything really but i dont know something inside me told me something was up. And if he was the only one to get to me, or did anyone else hear me. I was nervously looking around until I heard whispering coming from the Gryffindor table.

"I heard she's dangerous" a girl whispered

"She's an avenger of course she's dangerous they all are" another said

"Careful she might hear us" a third said

"So what, she's probably a muggle born how is a muggle born in Slytherin anyway" the first said

Everything in me told me to fight back, everything inside me said to put them in their place. I hadn't realized I bent the fork until pansy snapped me back to reality.

"Hey what did the fork do to you?" She giggled

"Nothing" I said setting it down and leaving the table

I wanted to storm over to them, I wanted them to know just how dangerous I could be if they got in my bad side. Although I didn't I stormed out of the great hall and headed towards potions class where my first class of the day was. I stood there for about ten minutes before the breakfast bell sounded that it was over and classes were to begin. I walked into the room and took a seat at a table in the back away from other people.
