Harry Potter and his clan visit me

I am in my studio and someone knocks on my door. I look through my peephole and it's Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Wilson [Disclaimer: I am not even a huge fan of Harry Potter. I've only watched and read the 1st Harry Potter. And I had to look their names up cause I had no idea what their real names were].

I open my door for them and it's some sort of publicity stunt for them to visit their biggest fan. They're smiling and so excited to meet me. I'm completely embarrassed and don't know if I should tell them they have the wrong person. They swarm me with gifts, gift cards, movies, plane tickets for vacations.

Then they ask me, "So where is it?!! Where's your tattoo??!!" I realize that this crazy fan they've got me confused with has a crazy Harry Potter tattoo and that's how he/she won this thing. I think about lying and look at my tattoos to see if I could make something seem like it's a Harry Potter theme but I can't. I tell them they've got the wrong person. I ask Emma if she wants all the gifts back and they all look disappointed but tell me to keep the gifts.

They sit down on my couch and look really disappointed that they didn't get to meet their biggest fan. I try to make small talk but it's just awkward and it doesn't seem like they want to talk to me. I get up to look outside my patio and my parents are moving boxes at the house across from me. They've apparently moved there. I look down and Daniel Radcliffe and his friends are getting in their car and leaving. They didn't even say bye to me, rude.

And then... I wake up.

redecorating by burning?

I'm at work, studying for my Stats class, and one of the faculty closes the door to the office and begins stacking boxes behind the door. He tells me to hurry because he just set the room on fire. He's telling me this calmly and is not at all panicking. He tells me and another student we have to go.. now.
I start packing my things [come on, my Stats notes are important!!] but I realize I have to leave some other things behind because they're behind that locked door where the fire is. The room becomes smokey and the other student is still sitting down doing work. The faculty member tells him to hurry up and get out of here. We both head out and realize there are some students in the room next door. We tell them they need to leave but they won't listen to us. They're art students and are willing to sit in this smokey room to learn about art.

We start heading down the hallway and I overhear the faculty member tell someone else that one of the other faculty members, whose office was in that locked room, told him to set the room on fire so they could redecorate it. In his logic, it would be easier and less of a hassle for the other students to deal with the construction than if he just burnt the room and renovated it. I wonder if this was approved by administration and if he'll be charged with fraud.

And then... I wake up.
