A/N: I decided to post this story again, when I finally found time to rewrite it. If I get good response, I will probably continue this. Sorry for any grammatical errors or anything you may find in this story. English is just my second language, just so you know that before anyone starts to criticise me for bad spelling. This story takes place in Harry's sixth year, without any HBP spoilers for now.

Short summery: An unknown dark creature pays Harry a little visit in his dreams. It tells Harry to get ready, because they are coming soon to take Harry to the place where he wants to be most of all. With his family…

Harry Potter and the Creatures of Darkness

Chapter One: A dream where desires can be fulfilled

The beautiful sun was rising. Harry Potter was lying awake in his bed, wondering if this was the day. Maybe it would happen this morning, he thought, if only he could get back to sleep! Harry had almost stopped believing that they would ever come to take him were he wanted to be. With his parents and Sirius, in that room behind the door Harry had seen. But he knew that they would have to come any day now, because September 1st was drawing nearer, and Harry didn't know if they could come to Hogwarts or not, when the school had such strong magic protecting it. They came to him almost three weeks ago, in one of his worst nightmares he had ever dreamed before.

He was in the Department of Mysteries, and he saw Sirius falling into the veil, shouting in anger at Harry. Harry heard his parents screaming behind the veil, trying to get out, cursing their son for killing them, telling him that it was entirely his fault. That Harry was responsible for Sirius and Cedric's deaths. In tears, Harry tried to run away from his screaming parents, but he wasn't able to move. Suddenly, out of nowhere, something pitch black stood in front of him. It touched Harry with something almost recognisable as an arm, then the surroundings started to shift, and his parents screaming faded away. The pitch-black thing seemed to look at him, with dark empty holes for eyes. Harry, filled with terror, tried to find a way to escape by looking around to see where he was. It almost looked like the dungeons in Hogwarts, but not entirely. It was so much colder and darker even though he could se many torches burning on the walls in the room. He saw a door with a big lock on it in the end of the room, and the door was closed. It seemed like there were voices coming out from the room behind the door, and a stream of white light shot out under the door. Suddenly, the dark creature that had been eyeing Harry for a while spoke:

"I have taken you here, Harry James Potter, to fulfil your desires." Its voice sounded so cold and emotionless, giving Harry an involuntary shudder.

"What are you talking about?" Harry asked, filled with both confuse and fright.

"Your heart screamed for help to fulfil your greatest desires; to be with your parents and your recently died godfather. Together with the great power within you and your heart's scream for help, you called on us, releasing us from those terrible chains that bond us and gave us the freedom we have longed for so many years. And now, when you have given us our freedom, we shall give you what you want." The creature gave an almost undetectable nod to the door with the white light.

"What are you, and why were you chained? How can you help me?" Harry asked, the most eager to know the answer to the last question.

"We are what wizards maybe would call dark creatures, but we were also wizards once, just like you. I am Morgul, and my brothers and I were tortured and chained in the mountain Enigma, on false accuses. The evil wizards that accused us had much power, and convinced the others that we were murderers, although we had done nothing wrong. Together they chained us with magic, tortured us in the dark. But for some reason they stopped coming after a while, and soon they seemed to have forgotten about us. So they just left my brothers and I to suffer in the dark forever. When we realised that they wouldn't come back again we thought that we would be dead after a week for sure. We hadn't felt the taste of food in many days, and we couldn't remember how water felt on our tongues. But we never died. It was a curse forever laid upon us: to suffer our crimes forever, even though we were innocent. So innocent." Morgul gave a small sigh at those words and then he said nothing, making Harry even uneasier than he already was. Harry wasn't very pleased with Morgul's answer, because he hadn't told Harry yet how he was supposed to meet Sirius and his parents.

"And what about my last question?" He asked after Morgul's long silence, making him aware of Harry again. The creature said:

"Ah, yes, that. Well, before I tell you this you must swear not to tell anyone about this, because that would ruin everything. And you also have to swear that you would do absolutely anything to be with the ones you love so much, or else I am afraid we can't help you." With only a brief hesitation, Harry said with a solemn voice:

" I swear that I won't tell anyone anything about what will be said here, and that I would do absolutely anything to be with my family, as long as no one else gets hurt." Harry added, and Morgul seemed curiously pleased with this.

"There is a way to join your loved ones, Harry Potter. You see that door? He nodded at the door in the end of the room as he said it, and Harry confirmed Morgul's question by giving him a quick nod.

Morgul continued:

"Well, if you enter that door, they shall meet you there and then you can join them, just as you wish. But, however, as this is not the right time for you to enter the door, it will not let you in." Harry's spirit sank when Morgul said it. Was he destined to never meet his beloved family? Everything felt so hopeless in that moment.

"Do not despair." The dark creature said when he saw the look on Harry's face. " Soon my brothers and I will escort you through the doors, and when that time comes, you will be ready. We shall meet again before that, in this room, in your dreams. Until then, goodbye Harry Potter."

"But wait!" Harry shouted at the creature as it suddenly vanished from the room.

When Harry Potter had wakened from his strange dream, it was for the first in a very long time with a small smile on his lips.
