"Good night." Phoebe happily told her sisters as she settled into her bed in the sixth year girls dorm. She curled up, hugging a pillow and with the drapes drawn around her bed she settled in for a good night sleep. She hadn't had a vision at school for some time, but

Hours later, the dorm was still, all its inhabitance asleep. the happy girl slept peacefully, until she heard a call. The next thing she knew, she was sitting up in her bed. Unsure if it was a dream, a vision, or her reality, she moved the emerald curtain apart so that she could step off. The girl moved from the bed, letting the fabric fall back to where it was as she softly opened and left the dorm. She could feel the cool surface on her bare feet. She rarely registered the cool dungeon air on her skin, her pajamas brightly colored shorts and a complimentary pastel tank top. She didn't register the students out in the common room, their forms blurred to her. She calmly moved out of the common room.

The call came from far away. She left the safety of her dorm, the cold motionless stone of the dungeon doing nothing to sir her from her tans. The call was coming from a distance away, and she didn't know where she was going. Nonetheless, she could hear it, and knew which direction to head when she came to a crossroad. Climbing the stairs she made it to the familiar, yet different, first floor. She passed a number of students, blissfully unaware of her presence. To her, they were blurred, their conversations and voices echoed in the distance.

Archie stood up and stretched. He’d been sitting in the staff room since before dinner, only pausing to eat a bit and then get back to work. The Spring term was always a busy one, and his NEWT assignments required more attention in terms of grading. Some of his students really grasped the subject while others…well, they tried. But it was late, or early, rather. And Archie decided that he would take the scenic route in the castle before heading to bed. It was peaceful at this hour. Once in a while, he would hear a loud snore from a painting, it was always the ones with the knights since they slept with those helmets on, and the sounds echoed.

But as he walked along the first floor, he heard light footsteps, and he paused. Students were definitely not supposed to be out this late, and as he noted the approaching form of a blond girl in her pajamas, he paused. She was walking as she would during the day, but there was no recognition or acknowledgment of his presence. Quickly he recognized the girl or at least one of them. One of the handfuls of triplets that attended Hogwarts and with whom he had some difficulty telling apart. ”Ms. Trelawney?” Archie took a few steps forward cautiously. One would think since Archie had siblings that were triplets, he would have found some way to tell any triplet apart from one another, but since he hardly saw them, it wasn’t the case. ”Hello?” His expression was one of concern.

Phoebe walked through the castle, her eyes seeing a sunny day, students who's uniforms were familiar, and yet seemed a bit old fashioned. There were boys flirting with girls, girls trying to act coy in order to obtain their crushes attention. Student's walking the halls with their friends But something was out of place. She paused to see a girl and her friends. They, much like the rest of her surroundings were quite fuzzy, but as she looked, the girls came into more focused. She heard them talking about some stupid girl who they seemed to constantly bully. Well that wasn't nice. And all because the girl had glasses? With out a word to them, she once again heard the calling that had brought her out of bed. Phoebe continued her movements. Her feet started up to the second floor, looking up. She knew the calling was up there. Above her, somewhere, something tragic was about to happen.

Without any sign that she had seen the professor out as she walked through the still, silent stone castle. She looked up to the second floor, unconsciously speaking to the voice that called to her. "I'm coming" She said, as she started up to the second floor. Her hand gliding up the rail. She moved in a steady pace, far different from her normal, bouncy attitude. The staff at Hogwarts, at least most of them, had been made aware of Phoebe's special condition. She had been sleep walking since a young age, and every time she did, she saw the tragic past of that location. Most visions ended with her screaming. But their was nothing else she could do, but to follow the voice that called to her. As she drew closer to the second floor, she could hear, not just the soft voice calling out to her, but the echoed sounds of a girl crying.
