Sleep, or a Lack Thereof

Scorpius can’t sleep, Albus can’t sleep, and both boys just need some recognition that they are loved and cared about because sometimes, at two in the morning, it’s hard to remember that you’re not alone. 

Stranger: [2am] You awake?-SM

You: Define awake. AP

Stranger: Can you talk at me for a bit? About anything, I don't care-SM

You: Yeah, sure. You okay? AP

Stranger: [...] Uhm....no, not really-SM

You: What's wrong? AP

Stranger: Uhm, just.....stressing, you know-SM It's kind of stupid. Dad has this stupid chest cold and I know he'll be fine but he keeps waking up in the middle of the night coughing, and he's tired all the time and I know he'll be fine I know it's okay but I can't help but worry about it-SM And I'm just really tired but I can't go to sleep-SM

You: Your dad will be okay. Colds take a lot out of people. All you can do is be there for him when he asks for help, you know? AP Whenever I'm tired but can't fall asleep, I get up and do one thing that needs to be done, and then I lay down again. It helps, sometimes. AP

Stranger: No, I've tried that. I redid my room, but my head keeps spinning-SM

You: Have you talked to your dad? If he's awake because of the coughing anyways, you could try to talk to him. It might help the worry? AP

Stranger: He told me I can't keep busting into his room every time he coughs-SM

Stranger: He told me to get some sleep, so I'm trying. But it's not working-SM

You: It's hard to make your brain turn off, sometimes. Is there anything else you can think of that might work to help you? AP

Stranger: [...] I don't know. I just thought talking to you could help-SM

You: Then I'm here to talk. AP

Stranger: You're really the greatest-SM [...] I just keep thinking of mom, I can't stop-SM

You: [...] Do you want to talk about it? About... her? Because you can. I'm here for you. To listen. AP It's okay if you don't want to, too. But I know it's been difficult. AP

Stranger: It's just....when it first started to get bad, I wasn't allowed in their room. And I could hear her, and I could hear Dad, and she got so bad so fast. And I still wasn't supposed to see, but I snuck in. And then it was just dad and I, and it's okay, I love my dad, but....-SM Now he's getting pale and he has bags under his eyes like she did, and he's kicking me out of that room again, and I know it's just a cold I listened to the healer but....but what if it isn't? And I can't go to sleep without dreaming of her, and it just makes it worse-SM

You: It's okay to be scared, Scorp. AP I think your mum would tell you that, too. For now, all you can do is let the Healers do their jobs with your dad and hope that they're right. If it was something worse, they would tell you. They would have to. AP Are the dreams bad? AP

Stranger: They don't have to do anything, it's dad who pays them. He could pay them more to lie if it was really bad. He doesn't want me to worry like I do, but I can't help it-SM They don't really start bad, no. But then it goes back to when she was sick and....-SM

You: Your dad wouldn't do that to you. If there was something going on, he would tell you. He cares too much about you to leave you in the dark like that. AP And then they get bad. AP Have you talked to any Healers? If you're having trouble sleeping, there are potions you can get. My dad has to use them, sometimes. AP

Stranger: Really?-SM But I don't want to bug them. They'll tell my dad and then he'll be even more worried about me-SM

You: But he already knows you're not sleeping very well, right? So it's not something new for him to worry about. AP And if it will help you, your dad would want you to speak to him. AP

Stranger: [...] He needs to rest. He needs all the rest he can get-SM Maybe I'll talk to the healers tomorrow. I sent a letter to have them here today-SM

You: I think you should. I worry about you, you know. AP

Stranger: Please don't-SM I don't need more people worrying about me-SM

You: You're the one who worries about everyone. It's only fair that you get worried about, too. AP You deserve to sleep at night, and to at least have a little bit of time where you don't have to worry about everyone else. AP

Stranger: [...] But you don't have to worry about me-SM

You: You're my best friend. Maybe I don't have to worry, but I want to. AP I mean, I don't WANT to, but if there's something going on, I'm going to. AP Does that make sense? AP

Stranger: Yeah, yeah. I know how worrying goes-SM But I'm already making you miss sleep over this-SM

You: I was already awake, Scorp. AP You're not making me miss sleep. AP

Stranger: What were you doing up?-SM

You: Thinking. AP

Stranger: About?-SM

You: Everything? AP I don't know. Dad was trying to talk to me earlier about the whole... rest of my life thing. AP So I was just thinking about it, I guess. AP

Stranger: The rest of your life?-SM that's stressful-SM

You: Tell me about it. AP

Stranger: Did you come to any conclusions?-SM

You: Only that I have no idea what I'm going to do. AP In conclusion... I have no conclusion. AP

Stranger: Ah-SM

You: Dad won't be too happy about that one, but I don't really care. AP

Stranger: You still have time-SM

You: Yeah. I guess. AP He's got all these expectations for me. It's so weird. He pins everything on me because Lily is the baby and James is... James. AP Ugh. AP

Stranger: Tell him to fuck off. He might have been great, but you just have to be what you are-SM

You: I wish I could tell him to fuck off. AP I'm just going to have to ignore it. At least, until I figure something out to tell him. AP

Stranger: Tell him you want to take a gap year, visit your uncle and the dragons-SM

You: Somehow, I don't think that's what he wants to hear either. AP Honestly, though? I don't care what he thinks anymore. AP

Stranger: Good. Don't-SM

You: It's not worth it. AP My point was, though, that you aren't keeping me up. AP

Stranger: Well, thanks-SM And I'm sorry about your dad-SM

You: It's okay. I'm learning to accept it. AP

Stranger: He tries, I know it's not much, but he does-SM

You: I know. Things were just really different for him. AP

Stranger: I know. My dad tries to make sure my life is nothing like his was too-SM

Stranger: Though we live in the same damn house so...-SM

You: I guess it doesn't really help, huh. AP We should do something. I still want to come stay with you at some point. It would be nice to see you. AP

Stranger: So let's get a place together?-SM

You: Are you serious? AP Because that would be brilliant. AP

Stranger: Why would lie about that? It'd be great-SM

You: I think we should do it. AP

Stranger: I'd love to, honestly-SM

You: There has to be a place somewhere that's not too much to rent. AP

Stranger: I'll ask dad if he can help us find some place-SM When he's better-SM

You: That would be amazing. AP

Stranger: We'll figure it out-SM

You: You really think your dad will help us find a place? AP

Stranger: Of course he will. He loves you-SM

You: I think I'm shaking a little. I'm really excited about this. AP

Stranger: I am too-SM It'll be fantastic-SM

You: Thank you. For bringing it up. AP

Stranger: Of course!-SM

You: You think you can get some sleep now? It's almost three, and you should at least give it another shot. AP

Stranger: Yeah, are you going to bed?-SM

You: Probably, yeah. If you are. AP

Stranger: Yeah, I'm going to try-SM

You: Okay. Sleep well, Scorp. AP

Stranger: You too, Al-SM

                     Voldemort won

                                 The boy who lived failed

The year is 2016, it’s been 18 years since the final battle was fought in the Hogwarts grounds, the world has changed a lot since then, things that had never seemed possible before, now became truth in a matter of months. Harry’s life, however, was surprisingly spared, as was the rest of the people around him – those that were left of course. Not because Voldemort liked or pitied them, no death was too easy for the blood traitors and mudbloods in his eyes, but he decided that in his new world there would be a place for those whom he deemed   i n f e r i o r, a place where they could be useful to him and yet remember their status, as the bottom of wizarding society. This place was slavery. Everyone who opposed him became unimportant in society’s laws, the Servus, as he called them.

The Ministry as you know it, was demolished. Voldemort took over the power of the Wizarding Community as their one and only  m a s t e r, he was the Dominus of the society and he made sure everyone knew that. The minisitry was now a place full of Death Eaters. Aurors were replaced with Snatchers, their job was to search the country for any runaway slaves, anyone who possessed magic and may have slipped under the radar. The Daily Prophet became nothing more than a way for Voldermort to make his voice known and the wizarding world became a dark one.

But it’s all about to change, and all it took was two foolish teenagers falling in love.
