Chapter Twelve

The visitor from the past

Author's note: The madness thing is getting a bit wild for me so from now on I'm going to focus more on Harry and his being 15.

Harry tiptoed quietly through the halls and corridors of Hogwart's. Harry began to climb the stairs but with no such luck as they did begin to move. Harry held on to the handle and walked up. There was a blue tinted lock. Would it work?

"Let's see There is a side to everything the good and the bad. There is a side to what we think the sane and the mad. There are curses we foil and one or two we jinx. Open your doors please to the Order of the Phoenix!"

The doors parted and Harry stepped inside. Harry saw shadows and hid behind the wall.

"Honestly Professor Dumbledore I don't know what you think is wrong with this one." Said a new voice. "It's sort of like a detector for potions. You see we wear it on our wrist and then if someone is carrying some potion or powder we'll know."

"Yes my dear, but won't it be visible?" Dumbledore said.

"Oh well yes. But you know Muggle's wear wretches on their wrists." She said airily.

"Oh please. There called watches." Snape said.

"It sounds a bit like your old invention. The Sneak-o-Scope." Lupin said.

"Well that one didn't really work did it?" She said.

Harry tried to look over at the lot but with no such luck.

"There's also this amulet."

"I'm not going to wear a necklace!" Snape shouted.

"Oh give it a rest. It's very chic. See it even has initials on it. Using it we'll know where the other one is. If the amulet turns red it means danger."

"How clever."

"Come on Severus." Lupin said. "You should probably need it the most since well you do spy for Voldemort."

"Don't say his name!" The woman yelled.

"There's no reason to be afraid of names. I constantly tell people to call you know who by his proper name. Voldemort." Dumbledore said.

"Fine. Voldemort."

"Is that all?" Lupin said.

"Well I was wondering if I could you know give Harry this?"

Harry looked up at the mention of his name.

"We've been over this. You can't see the boy yet. It would be too much for him."

"But Dumbledore!"

"The time will come." Dumbledore said softly.

"Well I best be off then. You know it's a good thing we hold these meetings at night. You know I can't stand children." The lady said.

"Neither can I." Snape said. And then they laughed. Harry seemed a bit surprised by this.

"Well shall we go then." Lupin said. "It's about time for the full moon."

"Right. Well goodbye Snape. Professor Dumbledore."

Harry opened the door and left before being seen.

Harry walked to his room and feeling a bit better fell asleep. Two months had already gone by and the usual bustle seemed to slow down. Classes dragged on. Even Hermione had stopped talking about the OWL exams and began to slow down. Harry had not gone to the box since Halloween. Harry, however, also did not throw it away.
