Harry was asleep in his bed, peacefully dreaming. He was awake all of a
sudden by a noise he had heard in his room. He listened intently and heard
this faint whispers saying:
"Ah, he is awake, the extraction must begin immediately."
"Yes, let's begin, then you will become whole," this voice was female, "Together we will conquer both worlds."
"Ahh, to become whole! It is my dream! We must do it now!" this was from the first voice.
Harry thought he heard a metallic sound and then he reached for his bedside lamp, too late. A knife had gone through his hand. Harry felt the distinct pain from a mile away. Who was holding the knife? Then Harry saw a blinding light in the corner of his eye.
"This must be my death," he though, "Look, I am seeing the white light!"
Something strange stepped out of this light. It happened to be Albus Dumbledore, and Sirius Black. Dumbledore quickly ran to the things that were stabbing Harry and he turned on the lamp. Harry saw his would-be murders, they were wisps of smoke, they seemed to have taken the appearance of himself and Hermione. They had dark circles around their eyes and they had horrified looks on their faces, this was because the light caused them to dispel. After Harry had seen this his eyes rolled into his head and he knew nothing.

Harry awoke thinking that the whole thing was a strange dream. How unfortunate that it wasn't. Harry awoke to the snores of Sirius and the watchful eye of Dumbledore. Yes, Professor Dumbledore was sitting at Harry's bedside. Harry glanced at his hands, there was no scar, had it been a dream?
"Be still, Harry," said a faint Dumbledore, "You have had a very traumatic night. I daresay it is a blessing we found the right time to stop your shadow."
Harry didn't understand what Dumbledore meant by, 'the right time.'
"Professor, I don't understand what you're doing here or what is going on."
"Harry last night you were visited by yourself, only you were a shadow."
"Why would my shadow try to kill me?"
"Well you see, they didn't want you dead. They wanted part of you, so that one of them could become whole."
Harry was confused by this so Dumbledore tried to rephrase himself.
"Time Shadows, Harry! What do they teach you in that Dark Arts class? I'm afraid my only service is to protect you. Harry have to defeat these shadows on your own. Sirius will help you."
Dumbledore nudged Sirius until he was awake.
"Wha' is it?" asked Sirius.
"Sirius you are taking Harry to the shadows to find out what his shadow self wants." replied Dumbledore, "and remember, do not fall into their traps."
"Ah, he is awake, the extraction must begin immediately."
