"Crucio!" Lord Voldemort's merciless voice rang out through the building.
The young girl, lying at his feet started to shake and scream. The surrounding Death Eaters laughed and jeered at the girl. Shouts and taunts of 'Mudblood' and 'Halfling' filled the air. The girl, by now unconscious was kicked, punched and spat on.
"Enough!" Yelled Voldemort. "Time to end this!" He pointed his wand at the girl and said, "Enervate."
The girl's eyes fluttered open and she groggily peered around. When she realised where she was, her screams started to fill the silence made by the lack of jeering. She never saw Voldemort bring down his wand, never heard him utter the words that would silence her forever.
"Avada Kedavra…"

Harry Potter awoke with a start. This was the second dream he'd had in as many nights. He got out of bed and crossed the room to his desk. He started to write:
Dear Professor Dumbledore,
Sorry to bother you again, but I had another dream. It was a young girl this time. Voldemort was there, along with about ten Death Eaters. They cast the Cruciatus curse on her and started calling her things like 'Mudblood'.
Eventually he got bored and killed her.
I'm really sorry to keep bothering you about this, but you did say to tell you if anything happened.
Yours sincerely,
Harry Potter
Harry sighed, attached the letter to Hedwig's leg and sent her off to find Dumbledore. After watching her fly off, he climbed back into bed hoping to get some sleep.
This was the way the next week went. Harry would have a dream about Voldemort, wake up, send a letter to Dumbledore and go back to bed. Then suddenly, the dreams stopped. Harry couldn't find a reason for this, and neither could Dumbledore. This alarmed both of them, as it was if something big was going to happen. They had no idea just how big this was going to be…
