Twists and Turns on the Path of Love
Chapter four
Reunion
Casey was sitting with Ron and Hermione beaming. "Pidwidgeon is fine. He's safe." Casey told Ron. Max's brother is keeping him at the moment until we all get back." Ron grinned back, happy to hear that his owl was safe. Harry was in Gryffindor common room waiting for Nora to join him. He was nervous at talking with her but it was a good feeling. Nora quietly said the password and the fat lady let her in the room. She stood there close to doorway waiting for Harry to turn around.
He finally turned around and smiled. She took that as a sign that he was alright and ready to know the truth about everything. She walked confidently towards him and sat down on a couch. He sat beside her. "Harry, your parents were my best friends. I would die for them and you." Nora began. "And how did you know my name?" She added confused. Harry looked confused as well. "Did Voldemort call you by name?" He asked. "No, he did not. At least, not out loud." Nora answered. "I guess I sensed it then. I don't know." Harry answered.
"What I do want to know is what happened that night and how you know." Harry stated as he looked at Nora for answers and information. "I have what Dumbledore called a sixth sense. It's a vision type power where I can see what's about to happen or what's already happened. I never know which until it's either too late or about to happen." She said grimly. "I had a vision that Voldemort was after James, Lily, and you, so I ran over to the house. I only lived next door so I didn't have far to go. I got there just as James fell dead by the curse that Voldemort flung at him. I took his want and put it up for you." She reached into her purse and pulled out the wand and handed it to Harry.
Harry had a mixture of emotions running through him as he took his father's wand. He was still staring at the wand when Nora continued on with the story. "I ran upstairs, hoping to save you and Lily. I heard Lily scream so I knew he had entered your nursery. I ran faster but I was still too late. It was like something was keeping me from getting there. I think it was Lily because she was afraid if I was killed too then you would certainly be killed by him. Finally I got there and I put an invisible spell upon me so he wouldn't see me, or so I thought. I saw him and heard him throw the killing curse at you, Harry. I watched Lily, without being able to do anything, jump in front of you and take the curse. I watched her die and I wanted revenge but I knew that if I showed myself now you would be lost. So I did what her eyes silently begged me, I kept in my shadows until he vanished. He only vanished when the second killing curse thrust upon you didn't work. It hit him and broke him. A part of his soul flew into you. Don't ask how I know that, my sixth sense told me that. Dumbledore never confirmed it for me." Nora finished as she took a deep breath. "I took something off your mother to give to you that night, Harry." She added.
"What?" He asked with emotion thick in his voice and tears glazed in his eyes beneath his glasses. She reached behind her neck and unlatched the necklace she wore. "This was your mothers and she wore it that night. I knew you would want it so I took it for you. Now I am giving it back to you." She reached out, handing the necklace to him. He focused on controlling his emotions for a moment. Finally, he reached out and took the necklace.
