Voldemort Gives Harry A Sign (Repeatedly!)
-----------------------
---------------
It was a normal day in the Gryffindor common room. Normal, that is, UNTIL -
"ATCHOO!" Harry sneezed.
"Aaargh!" The colour drained from Hermione's face. "It's a sign from Voldemort!"
Harry raised his eyebrows in confusion. "Err – I sneezed, Hermione." He reached over to pat Hermione on the back, but overbalanced and fell over the side of the couch.
"AAARRRGGH! The Dark Lord is controlling your movements - we're all doomed!" Hermione clutched his arms in fright.
Harry dusted himself off, rolling his eyes. "Look, for goodness' sake - "
He got up quickly and in his haste, stubbed his toe and winced in annoyance as the sharp pain shot through his foot.
"OH MY GOD!" Hermione cried, quite beside herself. "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is getting stronger! Don't move – I'll get Dumbledore!"
"Hermione! For the last time - "
No use, she quickly sped out of the room.
Later that evening, Harry finally settled again on the couch in exhaustion. He had spent the entire day calming an inconsolable Hermione whilst conducting an in-depth interview with Rita Skeeter regarding Voldemort's horrific attempts on his life (i.e. the toe-stubbing and the sneeze).
Suddenly, without warning -
"OUCH!" Harry's scar throbbed and he winced in pain. "HERMIONE! HERMIONE!" he gasped, his hand flying to his forehead. "IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN! VOLDEMORT MUST BE - "
Hermione twirled a strand of her hair round her finger. "I wonder if that new L'Oréal shampoo would suit me?"
