Also I don't own Harry Potter and please review.
A week after Clarisa tried to kill herself, Clarisa begin thinking of how to help herself, as she sat in the activities room, on the couch as she hug her legs, since she was bothered by the same nightmare the night before." The nightmares is getting too strong, I don't think I can handle another stronge one." Clarisa worriedly thought as she sighed, knowing Sandy will not be able to help her, since she couldn't tell her everything about her past." No, I got to be strong, but what can I do!" Clarisa thought, but came up with an idea a second later, hoping it will work she looked around for Carlos.
Once Clarisa was firmly committed to her idea, she slowly got up and walked to Carlos, whom was helping a few patients on the activities table." Um Carlos, can I see Dr. Sandy it is important." Clarisa shyly asked, as Carlos looked up to her." If it important as you says, then I guess it is alright." Carlos said, and gesture another orderly to escort Clarisa to Sandy's office.
Once in Sandy's office, Sandy greeted Clarisa." Hello Clarisa, did you have another nightmare?" Sandy worriedly asked, and Clarisa shyly nodded as she sat before Sandy." I did, but I want to confront my nightmares, so please can I see professor Dumbledore." Clarisa hopefully asked, as she startled Sandy." Are you sure about this, this could make your nightmare worse again." Sandy worriedly asked, but knew this might be a way to help Clarisa." I'm sure, since I want to know why I have nightmares about people I never knew." Clarisa shyly said, and Sandy nodded." I'll call a friend of Dumbledore's, and set up a meeting with her, hopefully soon we'll figure out why your nightmares are connected to him." Sandy informed Clarisa, and sent her off, so she can call Dumbledore's friend to set up a meeting.
The next morning, Clarisa awoke worried, as she sat up on her bed, knowing she will be seeing her old Headmaster in couple hours." Great, I was hoping I at least have a couple days to prepare myself for the meeting." Clarisa grumpily thought, as she got up and went to her dresser to get something to wear which was not much, since all she had was some light blue pajama type patients clothing, and of course the clothes she had on when she was sent to this institution." I guess I will wear my school clothes today, since I'm meeting Dumbledore soon." Clarisa thought, since even though the patients was allowed to wear what they wanted in the institute, Clarisa knew she couldn't go back to her home Shadow Mansion to get her clothing, so had decided to stick to hospital clothing while she was here for the last couple months.
Fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on the door." One second, I will be out in a few minutes." Clarisa call out, knowing it was an orderly checking up on her, she quickly got ready, and open the door to the hallway, where she was escorted to the dinning room, where she ate a light breakfast, and then to the activities room, where she waited at her usual spot for Sandy to bring her to meet Dumbledore.
An hour later, Sandy arrived in the activity room, and sat near Clarisa." Clarisa, if you feel scared or panic, I want you to warn me so I can cancel the meeting immediately, I don't want a repeat of last time, do I make myself clear of this." Sandy firmly said, and Clarisa only nodded, as Sandy now looked Clarisa over." You know, you should stop wearing the hospital clothes, since they really don't look good on you." Sandy suggested, as Clarisa looked to her." But this is all I got to wear here?" Clarisa inform the doctor." I know, but I can schedule a outing later, and since I know we have your credit card in our safe, you can buy your own clothing to wear here, unless you can tell me were you been living before coming to us." Sandy asked, since Clarisa been quite about her past, and as Clarisa stayed silent, Sandy knew she still won't tell her." Fine then, Dumbledore will be here in a half an hour, I'll send someone to get you then." Sandy informed Clarisa, as she got up and walked away.
Les then half an hour later, Clarisa was escorted by Carlos to the elevator, and went to the first floor for her eventful meeting with Dumbledore, and she was starting to get nervous.
Down in the lobby, Clarisa saw Dumbledore and Sandy sitting and talking quietly, until they both saw her looking uncertain about the meeting." Clarisa, please have a seat." Sandy gently said, and Clarisa slowly walked up to them and sat down next to Sandy.
The tension was thick, as Sandy and Dumbledore finished talking a little about Clarisa while she was in the institute, and once Sandy was done, she turned to Clarisa." I think I explain everything I know about you that is important, but it will be your decision to tell professor Dumbledore anything I miss." Sandy informed Clarisa who just nodded, and quickly waved her hand, while mumbling something that froze everyone in the building, accept for Dumbledore.
For a few moments, Dumbledore was startled when Clarisa used wandless magic, until Clarisa spoke." Not to worry, all I did was activated a special Rune I place on this building to escape to my home to study magic for a couple hours a day." Clarisa shyly explained, as Dumbledore came out of his shock." That Rune, what is it?" Dumbledore only could ask since he was still a bit shock." A time freeze Rune, it uses the building electricity to power itself, it also has some other features, which I won't go into now." Clarisa explained, and Dumbledore nodded." You know, you are full of surprises, I had expected a untrained witch here, but look like I found not only a very powerful one, but a very talented witch." Dumbledore smiled, causing Clarisa to blush.
After composing herself, Clarisa looked to Dumbledore." Um I want to know why you are here for." Clarisa asked, as Dumbledore gave it a thought before speaking." Can you tell me about your nightmares, since it seems related to an event that happened during the end of the last school year?" Dumbledore asked, as Clarisa gave it a thought before speaking." Are you referring to your betrayal of Harry Potter, when you sent him off to Azkaban without asking him what had happen that night?" Clarisa unkindly asked, as Dumbledore gave a sad sigh." It was a mistake, which I and many of Harry's friends and professors have regretted Clarisa, and we all had wished we had done something differently." Dumbledore sadly started, as Clarisa clearly could tell that what Dumbledore had did have gravely affected him." And now we are paying the price of my failure to protect young Harry." Dumbledore finished, as tears fell from his eyes, causing Clarisa to wonder if her visions during her stay at Azkaban was all true.
After dismissing her current thoughts, Clarisa looked to Dumbledore." Can you tell me what would you say to Harry, if he was alive?" Clarisa asked, as Dumbledore looked to her." I would tell him I'm sorry, and promise that I will make things better, by immediately removing him from his relatives care, and allowing him to stay with the Weasleys." Dumbledore started, as he wiped tears from his eyes." I will also make finding Wormtail our number one priority, so Sirius can stay with Harry, and help look after him better." Dumbledore continued, but sadly sighed." But of course it's too late to do all that, and we are all paying the price for our failures." Dumbledore finished his voice barely audible.
For a minute Clarisa could not speak, since this was not what she thought Dumbledore would say to her, but quickly shook her head to remove the thought of telling him who she was." Professor, I don't why I have visions of Harry Potter betrayals, but there is more, since I seen to have memories of Harry's past." Clarisa shyly said, causing Dumbledore to look to her." Can I test you on those memories, so I will know you are telling the truth?" Dumbledore hopefully asked, and Clarisa nodded.
Within half an hour, Dumbledore was shocked since Clarisa had answered everything about Harry Potter, that was not public knowledge, and he was done questioning; he almost thought Clarisa was in fact Harry." Clarisa, do you mind if I come by again, I really want to get to know you, and learn why you are having these visions." Dumbledore hopefully said, and Clarisa nodded." I guess it will be alright, lets ask Dr. Sandy if it will be OK." Clarisa said, as she waved her hand, and time returned to normal.
Once everyone around Clarisa and Dumbledore started to move at normal speeds, Clarisa turned to Sandy." Dr. Sandy, would it be alright if professor Dumbledore come by again?" Clarisa hopefully asked, as Sandy nodded as if nothing strange had happen." I guess, since you both are doing fine together, so it will be alright." Sandy informed Clarisa, and then turned to Dumbledore." When will you be able to stop by?" Sandy asked, as Dumbledore gave it a thought." Would Tuesdays and Thursdays will be alright?" Dumbledore asked, and Sandy agreed." Just come by before visiting hours, and I will make sure we both are available." Sandy informed Dumbledore, as they all stood up." Then I guess I will take my leave, and it was nice talking to you Clarisa." Dumbledore kindly said, and turned to Sandy." And thank you Dr. Sandy for allowing me to meet this charming young lady, and I do hope she will get better soon under your care." Dumbledore hopefully said, as Sandy smiled." I'm sure you will be able to help Clarisa also." Sandy informed Dumbledore, as they said their farewells and parted.
