10. The Dream
Harry's P.O.V.
Harry smiled at the girl he was already beginning to regard as a daughter when she fell with a scream. She was rolling around on the floor screaming and crying. Harry was at loss of what to do. He had always been the one who collapsed now the situation was reversed Harry had no idea what to do. He wished Ginny had come. She had always been good at dealing with him.
Jem's P.O.V.
It was black, completely so it was empty soul sucking so cold. Yet I could see the light but it frightened me I wanted to go back to what I knew the dull colours of the world I had known. Where was I? I could contact those I had marked I knew why the girl was there: the girl binding me to life but not enough. I needed her to die for me to live. I was torturing him with my spirit, my essence by our bond. I was enjoying the sense of power. He was begging with his mind 'please I didn't know… she's a… a… a p-p-parselmouth. How was I… t-t-to k-k-know?'
I speak back allowing the full fury of my mind to burn his mind 'you know what she is. Her father was a parselmouths,' I felt the shock resound in the means head 'you thoughtless fool you could have ruined everything. You're lucky we have two more chances. I pray you never fail me again I think I should remind you why you do not fail me.' The man felt a rush of pain but my fury was dying now.
I awoke on the floor shaking the taste of bile in my mouth looking up into a set of bright green eyes. I was Jemima Winters my best friends were Grace Bones, who was more than a sister, and Teddy Lupin. Together we were the Parentless Trio. Harry, Teddy's guardian had talked to me about parseltounge. Parseltounge… the dream. Before I could stop myself I told Harry everything from the dreams I'd always had, to the voices in my head, to this latest dream. Harry fixed me with a piercing look and spoke softly 'I hope I'm wrong but everything tells me that you have a bit of a Dark Wizards soul in you. I'll do everything I can to work out what's going on but I'm making no promises learn as much about defence as you can that's the only thing that will protect you.' He spoke softly and urgently as Ginny, Teddy and Grace the two gave me a hug showing they didn't care. Harry spoke softly to Ginny and left in a hurry. Later that evening I told Teddy and Grace what Harry had told me they were shocked but tried not to let it show.
