Okay so I woke up this morning with two books on my nightstand that weren't there before, and having a read through them they don't at all seem ominous. Thank God it's just in the dreams...

( Cut is not IC )

More dreams about being a teenager. This time I got to go on a double date with my boyfriend (obviously) and his ex and her new boyfriend. Not exactly an ideal situation. But oh well. I'd rather dream about that than like zombies or vampires or something.

Did anyone here know German Shephards can climb trees? I did not know that and am now waiting for the fire department to come and get my dog out of a tree.

That's it. I'm not taking any more naps in the afternoon. Not when the Dreams are going to dump five years on me at one time before I have to go to work. I finally met James and Sirius in the Dreams, we got sorted into Gryffindor which I already knew was going to happen, but it was fun seeing how adorable they were there as kids. I also met two other boys that are apparently going to be key figures in my school life judging by the next few years I dreamt - Peter and Remus.

I do pretty well in potions at Hogwarts and get invited to join the Professors elite group of students - the Slug Club - and then we hit fifth year and my friendship with Severus explodes. We'd stayed close despite being in different houses and the Gryffindor boys absolutely hating him and bullying him every chance they got. I tried to stick up for him one afternoon while they were doing it and he called me a mudblood which is a slur for muggleborns like me. That was when I realized how much he'd changed. He tried to apologize for it, for hurting my feelings anyway since he didn't see anything wrong with what he'd said. With his attitude and the beliefs his other friends had about purebloods and halfbloods being superior.

I couldn't - I ended my friendship with him that night and that was when I woke up, crying with Bella beside me on the bed, nuzzling at my shoulder like she does to comfort me.

[Alecto]

Knowing it was going to happen and living through it are entirely different things. I think...I think I was sort of in love with him in the Dreams. Until that happened.

I'm definitely starting to notice a theme in my Dreams - I'm a superhero Cat Noir and Ladybug had a pretty major role in this one too. It started off with our school announcing a design contest sponsored and judged by my father for a derby hat that I'll wear in the next photo shoot and after looking over some of Marinette's sketches I really think she's got a chance at winning the competition.

Before the competition though a new villain shows up - Mr. Pigeon - and he can control the birds of Paris and uses them to kidnap all the park workers who have been preventing him from feeding the pigeons in the park so Cat Noir and Ladybug have to save the city. They come up with a plan to lure him to them and Cat Noir poses as bait but ends up getting kidnapped by the pigeons himself so Ladybug has to rescue him too only for both of them to end up trapped in a bird cage. I Cat Noir gets them out of there with Cataclysm and they try to apprehend Mr. Pigeon but he escapes and then the Mayor asks them for help saving the city because the pigeons are scaring the tourists away which definitely isn't great.

It's kind of weird that the city keeps relying on these two teenagers to protect them rather than the police or adult superheroes because those have to exist someplace right? Anyway the final battle takes place and Ladybug uses a bag of popcorn to get the pigeons to start surrounding Mr. Pigeon and we they break the birdcall the akuma was in and Ladybug purifies it and returns Paris to normal just in time for the competition at the school to be judged. Marinette wins but Chloe did steal her design and tried to convince everyone that Marinette stole the design from her but Marinette proves that it's hers by revealing the signature she put on it. Her name which you can't read unless you turn the hat upside down. Otherwise it just likes decorative stitching.

Things dream me learned that one might consider common sense except she's a bit of a naive dunce at people, include never meet your hero and that creepy fascist is in fact creepy.

Except he's the son of someone she respects and she hopes he can be turned back to the light.

Not exactly sure how that'll work, but as I said dream me is really bad at peopling. Even worse than I am awake and that's saying something!

So as of tomorrow Bell's Bites, my food truck, will be officially open! I don't have a set schedule of where I'm going to be on any specific days but I've lined it up tomorrow to be parked outside business name from 10:30 to 6:30. So come see me and get lunch or dinner! I'm planning on having fried chicken - pieces and tenders - with biscuits, mashed potatoes or macaroni and cheese and some vegetable that I haven't decided yet.
