Chapter 10 - Harry's nightmare

'Where am I?' Harry thought to himself. He squinted his eyes to try to look around the surrounding. He was in a broken down hut. It was very dark and Harry could hardly make out what was in that hut. He heard voices. It was coming from upstairs. Harry moved slowly towards the stairs and made his way upstairs as quietly as possible. The voices were growing louder. Harry could made out what the voices said.

"Massster, you are not very well. Pleassse take a ressst," hissed a cold voice, which made a chill down Harry's spine.

"I'm fine," replied another cold, high-shrieked voice. "We have more important thingssss to do."

"B-But massster, you are not feeling well," wailed the first voice.

"NO! We have not much time, you fool! We musssst get to him if we want to live!" yelled the second voice. "He issss the only one who can ssssave ussss with the precioussss he hassss!"

The other shrieked but said nothing.

Harry moved quietly towards the door which hid the strangers. The door was ajar and Harry could make out one figure kneeling by an armchair; behind the armchair, Harry could see a hand sticking out. Or rather, a skeleton-like hand. Suddenly, Harry's scar began to burn. The pain was unbearable. He tried to scream, but no voice came out. He put his hands over the scar tried to ease the pain.

Suddenly, the vision changed. Harry was now standing in front of Hogwarts and there were armies of Death Eaters, Dementors, Werevolves and Giants with Voldermort standing in front of them with Wormtail and another paled-faced grown man with red eyes. Behind the armies were another group consisting of foul-smelling, ugly-looking creatures which Harry could not recognise.

Standing side by side with Harry were Dumbledore, Sirius, Remus, Alfirin, Hogwarts Professors, Hadgrid, Hermione, Neville and the Weasleys. Harry looked behind and he saw an army of elves that he did not recognise. As Harry was about to charge forward, suddenly, an unknown force began to pull Harry backwards.

Harry jolted and opened his eyes, he found himself back in Hogwarts in his room. Ron and Neville were snoring loudly. He reached over to his scar and he felt the scar was hot. 'What was that dream?' he thought to himself. He thought of Alfirin and decided to tell her about it.

Harry jumped down from his bed and ran out of his room down to the common room and climbed out the portrait hole.

"Where are you going at this time of the night? You woke me up you know," said the Fat Lady annoyed.

Harry ran as fast as possible to the teachers' room. It suddenly hit him that he did not know which room belongs to Alfirin. Sadly, he walked back to the Gryffindor common room. 'I guess I'll have to tell her tomorrow.' Harry thought as he sat down on a sofa.

Harry could not sleep for the rest of the night. He sat on the sofa thinking about the dream. He could not see the face of the stranger as the room was too dark. The voices he heard were so cold that it sent chills down his spine and made his hair stand.

Slowly, he started to doze off, and what seemed like a second since he dozed off, he was being woken up.

"Harry, Harry, wake up," cried a voice.

Harry jumped as opened his eyes and saw Hermione's huge face in front of him.

"Hermione, you scared me," argued Harry.

"I'm sorry, Harry. What are you doing here? Aren't you in bed?" asked Hermione puzzled.

"I had a nightmare. I couldn't sleep. I was thinking of going to see Dumbledore, but I guess he was asleep so I waited here for dawn when I can go see him," Harry lied.

"What, you mean you have been sitting here the whole night?" gasped Hermione. "What nightmare is it? Can I be of any help?"

"It's ok, I just need to tell Dumbledore about it. I must be going now. See you later at breakfast!"

Harry jumped from the sofa and headed towards the portrait hole. Outside the hole, Harry stood there for a while thinking how was he going to find Alfirin. He decided that he will go to the teachers' room first and ask one of the professors.

"I wonder how Adar is now," said Alfirin to herself as she was getting ready to go down for breakfast.

Alfirin kept thinking about the situation back in Middle Earth. She wished that she was there instead here at Hogwarts, but Lord Elrond would not hear of it. So in the end, she decided to go back the next day since it was Saturday and there was no lesson. By the time she came back, the start of term feast was already started. She carefully slipped into the Great Hall by the side entrance near the teachers' table.

As Alfirin was leaving for the Great Hall, she bumped into Harry at the corridor leading towards teachers' room.

"Harry? What are you doing here so early in the morning?" asked Alfirin.

"Alfirin, I need to talk to you," said Harry urgently.

Sensing the seriousness, Alfirin quickly led Harry into her room.

"All right, what is wrong?" asked Alfirin.

"I had a nightmare yesterday. It was very scary," started Harry.

Alfirin stared at Harry motioning him to carry on.

"I dreamt that I was in a broken down hut and everything was black. I heard voices and headed towards it. I saw two figures, oh, one actutally. The other one, all I saw was a skeleton-like hand. Their voices were cold and it sent a chill down your spine and hair to stand. Suddenly, I felt my scar was burning. Then, the scene suddenly changes. I saw I was standing in front of Hogwarts, with everyone I know and an army of elves behind me, and we are facing an army of ugly-looking creatures, with werewolves, giants, vampires, death-eaters, dementors and Voldermort himself!"

"Then? What happened?" asked Alfirin.

"Then I woke up. When I woke up, my scar really hurt. And when I touched it, it was hot."

"Oh," gasped Alfirin eye-wide.

"Well? You know what does it mean?" asked Harry nervously.

"Do you know the two figures? Do you see the faces?" asked Alfirin seriously.

"No, I couldn't. The place was very dark."

"Looks like I will have to report this to Adar," said Alfirin. "Harry, do you have any dreams like this one before?"

"Come to think of it, I had this exact same dream a few times when I was back at Dursleys," said Harry slowly. He added quickly, "but only the hut dream. Not the battle one. That was the first time...Oh wait, come to think of it, I think I had that battle dream too, the night before I came back to Hogwarts. But I didn't dream of Voldermort and his army, only the ugly-looking creatures."

"You had the same dream before? And you did not tell us about it?" said Alfirin, raising her voice. "Harry, how can you? This may be important you know?"

Harry stood there eye-wide staring at Alfirin. "I-I...er...I forgot about it."

"You forgot?" shouted Alfirin, rolling her eyes at Harry. "No this may be very important. I have to go tell Adar. Harry, try to stay indoors while I am away. I will look for you when I come back. If anything should happen, go look for Professor Dumbledore."

With that, Alfirin ushered Harry out of her room and closed her door leaving Harry standing alone in the corridor eye-wide staring at the door.

Alfirin went back to her room, took her weapons and casted an incantation to go back to Rivendell.

Alfirin ran as fast as her legs would take her towards the house of healing. She passed many elves which stood and stared after her stunned. As she passed Glorfindel, he ran after her trying to find out what was wrong.

"Alfirin, Alfirin, stop. What happened?" shouted Glorfindel.

"Urgent matters. I need to find Grandfather," Alfirin yelled back.

"What is wrong? Enemies outside? Or they are coming?"

"NO! I would not look for Grandfather if that happened!"

As Alfirin reached the house of healing and she bursted open the door. "Grandfather!" she yelled.

Elladan and Beriadan turned and looked at her. Alfirin ran towards Lord Elrond who was sitting in his bed at the far corner of the room.

"Grandfather! I need to discuss something with you," said Alfirin urgently.

Lord Elrond gazed at Alfirin with a raised eyebrow and urged her to continue, which Alfirin did not obliged.

Lord Elrond sensing that, continued "Do you want to go to the study room?"

Alfirin nodded and helped Lord Elrond out of his bed, put on his clothes and started to walk towards the door. Lord Elrond passed Glorfindel on his way to the study room, he asked him to go look for Erestor and met them in the study room. Glorfindel looked surprised, but he did not say anything and left.

As Alfirin went into the study room after Lord Elrond and closed the door, Lord Elrond spoke. "It is about Elithron, is it not?"

"Yes Grandfather. And I guess you want Glorfindel and Erestor to be here before I start?" said Alfirin quietly.

Lord Elrond did not say anything, he just smiled. Glorfindel and Erestor came in after Lord Elrond and Alfirin had just settled down in their seats.

"My Lord, is there anything wrong?" asked Erestor seriously.

"Yes, I afraid so," said Lord Elrond. Sensing Erestor's face fell, he added, "but for now, it is not a problem to us in Middle Earth. It is a problem that Elithron faced."

Both elves stared at Lord Elrond eye-wide, jaws dropped to the floor. Alfirin did not wait for the elves to talk, and began telling them the dreams that Harry had told her.

"What do you think it is, Adar?" asked Alfirin after she had finished telling the dreams.

"I am not really sure what it is, honestly," said Lord Elrond slowly, his eyes fixed on his desk.

"That strangers wanted to find someone. Obviously someone who has great powers," stated Glorfindel.

"He dreamt of this a few times before he came here. Each time waking up with his scar burning. Could it be something to do with the evil he is dealing with?" asked Erestor.

"That part where he was involved in the battle," Alfirin started. "That was what I worry about most."

Everyone fell silent. They were all deep in thoughts.

"Could it be Elithron had dreamt of the future?" said Lord Elrond, suddenly shooting his head up facing the trio sitting in front of him. "First Harry dreamt that he saw two figures in a hut. Then he saw Voldermort standing in front of his army. Apparantly that battle scene are to happen in future."

"So you think Elithron somehow had the same powers you had, able to see the future?" asked Glorfindel, and Lord Elrond nodded.

"So you are saying that Harry's dream was what will happened to Voldermort and Harry in the future?" asked Alfirin.

"Most likely," sighed Lord Elrond. "I am not completely sure though."

"So that scene that Harry was in a hut was before the battle?" asked Alfirin.

"I am not entirely sure of that. It may happen before or after, iell nin."

"Alfirin, you go back to Elithron now and tell him to report to you if he had anymore dreams. I will go visit him sometime later," said Lord Elrond.

"Do you think we should send more elves over to keep a look out?" asked Erestor.

"There is no need to for the time being," assured Lord Elrond. Turning to Alfirin, "If there is any more of this dreams, write a letter and use the necklace to send it to me."

"Yes Grandfather."

With that settled, Alfirin went ahead to change the dressing on Lord Elrond's wound. As she tried to change Glorfindel and Erestor's dressing, she found them missing from the study room. Lord Elrond watched in amusement as he saw Alfirin grabbing the potions box and dash out of the door to find his two best friends.

"Watch out, Harry!" yelled Fred-or George-as a Buldger charged forward at Harry.

The Buldger hit Harry at the side of his face, as he could not duck in time, and send his falling down to the ground. Hermione managed to slow him down just inches before he hit the ground, and everyone were landing and running towards Harry to check on him.

"Are you all right, mate?" Fred asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Harry replied while rubbing his cheek.

"Mate, you've got a very bad bruise on your cheek. Are you sure you are all right? I think you need to visit Madam Promfrey," said Ron.

"No, no, I'm all right. There's no need for Madam Promfrey. Come on, let's get back to practice."

"Harry, the practice's over. Ron's right. You need to visit Madam Promfrey. The bruise looks bad," said Oliver Wood.

Finally, Harry was being dragged by Ron, Hermione and the twins to the Hospital Wing, and being fussed over by Madam Promfrey.
