Harry and Ron finished their shopping and went back to the Leaky

Cauldron. They dropped off their packages and were on their way downstairs

to dinner when they ran into Draco Malfoy in the hallway.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Ron with a frown on his face.

"None of your business Weasley," said Draco.

"Then get out of the way," said Ron. "We want to go downstairs."

Draco gave them a sneer and moved past them. They turned and watched

him.

"I don't like this," said Harry. "First this girl comes into my dreams and now

I see that she's real and she's friends with Draco Malfoy. I have a feeling that

something bad is going to happen."

Ron nodded his head. "I know. Maybe we can get close to her though and

find out what she's up to."

"No," said Harry, shaking his head. "After the dreams I had about her, I

don't want to get close to her. Besides, she said I had to make a choice and I'm

not sure I want to make it."

They descended the staircase together and went to find a table. Tom, the

inkeeper came and took their orders. They were just digging into their meals

when a group of people came down the stairs. Harry saw the tall girl walking with

Draco Malfoy.

"Don't look at her Harry," said Ron.

Harry tried hard to concentrate on his meal but his eyes kept straying back

to the girl. One time she happened to look at him at the same time and their eyes

met. Harry felt something like a jolt of electricity run through him and his face

reddened. He looked away quickly.

"I'm not hungry anymore," said Harry.

Ron nodded his head.

"I'm going back upstairs.

Harry walked past the table where the group was sitting. He couldn't but let his

eyes stray to the tall girl again. Their eyes met again and Harry felt another uncomfortable jolt of electricity go through him. He scowled at her. He didn't like this. This girl who had been in his dreams and now made him feel uncomfortable. He felt the need to get away from her. He hated to admit it but something about her made him feel scared. As if a part of himself he didn't like was trying to get out.

Once upstairs, Harry got ready for bed. He didn't feel like sleeping but the thought of going back downstairs was unthinkable. He lay down on his bed and tried to get comfortable. After about an hour of tossing and turning, his mind finally shut down. Random images came into his head until he started hearing a voice.

"Harry."

"Go away," said Harry.

"Harry it's me."

"Go away!"

Harry saw the Chamber of Secrets behind his eyelids. Again there was the Mirror of Erised. Yet again there was the tall girl.

Harry turned in anger. "Get out of my mind!" He yelled.

The girl smiled at him. "I'm not in your mind. Your own thoughts betray you. You want to make the choice."

Harry turned to look at the Mirror of Erised. He saw his family.

"What choice do I have to make?"
