Chapter 12
"It seems that I was wrong about you son" Lucius sneered from the doorway.
"I would have never thought I would see the day when you actually acknowledged your true calling" he continued.
"What do you mean father?" Draco asked, starring down the platinum blonde man in front of him.
"Ah, right, play your little game in front of her" he said gesturing to the girl in the room.
Draco glanced over at her "What does she have to do with anything?" he said turning back to his father.
"Its okay now son, you can drop the charade, I believe you now" Lucius said smirking with an eerie glint in his eye.
"What charade father? I have no idea what you are talking about" Draco said getting frustrated with his father's cryptic statements.
"You brought her here for the Dark Lord and I am impressed, there is no need to gloat Draco" Lucius chastised his son.
Draco's eyes widened "I didn't bring her here for the Dark Lord father, I would never follow orders from him" he said with malice dripping from every syllable.
"Come now Draco, you must know why he wants the young Ms. Bradley. He set me the task of obtaining her, but I will make sure that you get the credit for the capture. You will be greatly rewarded for your services" Lucius said with great pride.
Lucius stepped towards Jordyn, but stopped when there was a sudden movement by the door.
"Well, if it isn't Mr. Potter. And what, may I ask, brings you to my home?" Lucius asked with obvious hatred.
"Draco has invited me here" Harry said, his green eyes glinting as he closed his hand around the wand in his pocket.
"I must say Draco you have outdone yourself. Ms. Bradley and Harry Potter! The Dark Lord will be so proud of you my son" Lucius said looking at his son with great pride.
"I didn't bring them here for him. I will never be his servant!" Draco hissed
Lucius narrowed his eyes at his son and then before Draco, Harry or Jordyn could prepare themselves, they were all bound together by the ropes that Lucius had conjured from his now brandished wand.
"Very well, the Dark Lord will be pleased with me for bringing all three of you to him. I will be greatly rewarded when I bring him the two people he wants most and you, Draco, a traitor" Lucius sneered.
Draco shot awake from his nightmare breathing hard. 'That felt so real' he thought to himself as he brushed the sweat from his brow.
She was standing in the middle of a graveyard, in front of a weird looking tombstone with a statue of the grim-reaper above it. There was a heavy fog looming in the air around her and the hairs on the back of her neck were standing up.
"Harry? Draco?" she whispered warily.
"We're right here" Draco whispered from behind her, making her jump.
"What are we doing here?" she asked them.
"I have no idea, but I think it has something to do with Voldemort" Harry responded.
"How can you tell?" she asked fearfully.
"That's his father's tombstone" he replied pointing to the grave that they were standing next to.
She shivered and then froze as she heard something moving around in the ominous fog.
"Ah, Harry, ssso glad you could make it" he hissed.
"What is this about Tom?" Harry said more bravely than he felt.
"That isss not my name you infernal boy!" Voldemort said angrily "However, I have brought the three of you here for one reason" he continued seething.
"And what might that reason be?" Draco demanded from next to Harry.
Voldemort smirked "To give you you're final choice" he said bored.
"Oh, and what is that?" Harry asked his fists clenching and unclenching in fury.
"You can either join me or face your eminent death" he said raising his wand.
The three teenagers looked at each other and then nodded in unison.
"We will never join you Tom!" Harry said for the three of them.
Voldemort's face contorted in anger at the use of his common name and then he raised his wand until it was level with Jordyn's chest.
"Very well, Ladies first" he smirked. Jordyn closed her eyes, waiting for it to happen.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!"
She was waiting for the end, but it never came, she slowly opened her eyes and then screamed.
"NO!" she screamed shooting up in her bed. She was shaking and sweating and she found that her breath was shallow. She quickly closed her eyes to try to calm herself only to be visited with the vision of what she had just seen in her dream.
He was sitting in a dark room with no windows. He was absently stroking Nagini when he heard the door click.
"My Lord, we have great news for you" the man said.
He turned to face the Death Eater that had just entered the room.
"And what news isss that?" he hissed.
"My Lord, we have found that there has been a resurrection of the ancient powers we sought many years ago" the man said.
"Really?" he said with a malicious glint in his eyes
"Yes my lord, Dumbledore has it in his possession" the man said.
"Well then, we must retrieve this power immediately than Rookwood. Gather my followers, I shall host a meeting tonight" he said and the man nodded.
The man left the room and he smiled to himself "We shall be invincible again Nagini and then we shall own this infernal world" he said his eyes glinting murderously.
Harry shot awake and threw his hand up to his forehead where the lightning bolt scar was burning.
"Ow" he murmured quietly trying not to wake anyone up.
"Harry, what is it?" Ron mumbled sleepily.
He had gotten used to Ron sleeping lightly in case he had a nightmare, it was actually quite comforting.
"He's happy about something. Rookwood was telling him about a power being resurrected and being here at Hogwarts…" he paused, thinking about what he was saying. After two second she bolted from the bed "I've got to go to Dumbledore!" he hissed to Ron and then threw on his robe and ran from the room.
Albus Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk and looking at the rather rumpled and sleepy boy in front of him.
"How can I help you at this early hour Harry?" he asked, his eyes twinkling.
"Sir, I had one of my nightmares about Voldemort" Harry replied slowly.
"And what was this nightmare about?" Dumbledore asked.
"He was finding out about an ancient power that had been resurrected and was here at Hogwarts" he replied.
Dumbledore just sat there in silence for a few moments.
"Sir, I think that Rookwood was talking abut Jordyn. I think she might be in danger" he said calmly.
Dumbledore looked at Harry for a moment "I believe that she is in danger as well Harry" he said losing some of the twinkle in his eye.
"What are we going to do sir?" Harry asked concerned.
"Well, Harry, you are going to carry on with your school work and let me worry about the protection of my students. I will inform the Order of this latest development. Thank you for coming to me Harry" Dumbledore said smiling.
Harry felt a little put-out at the fact that he couldn't help any more, but nodded "Your welcome sir. Have a nice day" he responded.
"You as well Harry" Dumbledore said before watching the young boy go out the door.
Harry desperately needed to talk to someone and there was only one person he knew that wouldn't judge him just because he was "Harry Potter" and would actually listen to what he had to say. He knew that Ron and Hermione would be there as well, he just didn't want to have to explain it to them, especially Ron.
"Hedwig" he whispered when he finally reached her. She hooted in response and flew to rest on his shoulder. He wrote out the letter and by the time he finished the early morning sun had begun to creep up.
"Take this to Sirius" he said as he rolled the letter and tied it to her leg. She hooted to acknowledge his request and then pecked his ear affectionately and took off out the open window.
He watched her fly off into the sky before leaving the Owlery.
He walked down the steps and began down the hallway. About halfway down he heard people talking. 'Who would be up and about at this hour?' he thought.
As he got closer, the voices got more distinct and he could hear what they were saying now.
"… knarkles, what the hell are knarkles anyway? A figment of your daddy's crazy imagination?" said a raspy voice
"They are actually quite interesting creatures" said an all-too familiar dreamy voice.
Harry was practically on top of them now and could hear that they were making fun of her.
"Whatever you say Loony Lovegood" one of them said to her.
Harry turned the corner and saw them. Two boys had Luna in a corner and they were making fun of her. The boys hadn't heard him come up and he was right behind them.
"Excuse me, but unless you would like to be hexed into next year I suggest you run along and refrain from picking on my friend Luna ever again" he said startling the boys.
They both jumped and turned "S-s-s-s-sorry H-h-h-h-Harry" the one boy said.
"Ye-Yea S-s-s-s-sorry H-h-h-h-Harry, W-w-w-we d-d-didn't mean it" the other said.
"I'm not the one you should be apologizing to" Harry said fighting a grin at the two boys's whimpering and stuttering.
They both turned to Luna "Sorry Luna" they said at the same time.
She nodded "Now run along" Harry said and then watched as the two boys disappeared without even a backward glance.
Harry turned back to Luna and saw that she was smiling at him, so he smiled back.
"Thank you Harry, I didn't think they were ever going to leave me alone" she said.
"No problem" he replied. They were silent for a few seconds before "So what are you doing out in the halls this early?" he asked.
"I was watching the sunrise from the Astronomy Tower and then I went to go back to my dorm and those two boys cornered me" she said in her dreamy tone. "What were you doing out of bed this early Harry?" she continued.
"I was sending my godfather a letter" he said and she nodded.
Almost everyone had known by know that it was in fact Peter Pettigrew that had killed those muggles when Sirius had him "cornered." The Ministry had found that Pettigrew was in fact alive, therefore making Sirius innocent and allowing him to live the life he was deprived of for twelve years.
They started to walk down the hallway and Luna kept shooting Harry questioning glances that he blatantly ignored and just looked out the windows into the blue sky.
"So how have you been lately Harry?" she asked after a few feet of traveling in silence.
"I've been okay. How have you been?" he replied.
"I can't complain" she said.
After an uncomfortable silence, Luna began talking again "So who are you taking to the Halloween Dance?" she asked hoping the change in conversation would elicit more than a few words.
Harry stopped dead in his tracks. Who was he taking to the dance? Jordyn was already going with Draco and Hermione with Ron. With only a week left, he was sure that everyone already had dates.
"Harry?" she said waving her hand in his face.
"Hmm…oh sorry… actually I'm not taking anyone" he said slightly embarrassed.
"Oh. Well that's okay; I'm going by myself as well" she said
His brain froze for a second and then he realized something 'Luna is going with anybody' he thought to himself.
"Well in that case would you like to go with me?" he asked before he realized what he was saying.
She practically beamed at him "I would love to."
He smiled back at her and then they began to walk talking about possible costume possibilities.
Draco paced the length of his room 'It was just a dream. It was just a dream.'
"You're going to go right through the floors if you don't stop that" she said from the doorway.
He looked up and smirked. "Good Morning"
She smiled back at him "Yes it is, now can we go? I'm hungry!"
He chuckled and walked toward her "Let's go before you starve to death" he said wiping all thoughts of his nightmare from his head.
Her nightmare still hung in her head as she walked next to Draco. She couldn't get the picture of the dead body out her head. She wasn't paying attention and suddenly she slammed into someone hard and fell to the floor. The sight in front of her felt strangely like déjà vu and she gasped.
"Are you okay Jordyn?" he asked helping himself up.
She shook her head "Hmm, yea I'm fine" she said getting up.
"God Potter, you almost plowed her over" Draco said agitated.
"Sorry I was distracted" Harry said to her.
"It's fine, so was I" she replied shakily.
Both boys looked at her worriedly "Are you sure you're okay?" Harry asked.
She sighed and then shook her head "No I'm not. I had a horrible nightmare and I can't get it out of my head" she said staring at the floor.
Draco looked at Harry and then back at Jordyn "Do you want to talk about it?" he said.
"Yea, you know we're here for you" Harry said.
She smiled up at them "Thanks, but I don't really want to talk about it, besides, it was just a dream" she said doubtfully.
Harry glanced at Draco and then down at the floor "Yea, it was just a dream" he said.
They all stood in silence for a few seconds before Jordyn spoke.
"Well let's go eat then" she said sighing.
"Yea that sounds like a good idea" Draco said and Harry nodded.
The three of them walked into the Great Hall and went their separate ways.
Jordyn and Draco took their normal seats at the end of the table and then piled their plates up. They ate in silence for a few minutes before Draco decided he couldn't take it anymore.
"So about the dance next week, you are still going with me right?" he asked.
She hesitated for a second, registering what he just asked and then she nodded "What are we going as?" she asked.
He shrugged his shoulders "I don't know. What do you want to go as?"
She thought about it for a second and then answered without missing a beat "Vampires" she said smiling.
He smiled back at her "Okay, vampires it is. Tomorrow is a Hogsmeade trip, we will get our costumes then" he said and she nodded. They continued their breakfast happily talking about the Halloween Dance.
