Hidden Tales From The Chamber Of Secrets - 26 - The Power

The now obligatory selection of plot-bunnies, orphaned scenes, omakes and idiocy that sometimes bring my mind to a grinding halt. Ongoing warnings for smut, language, character death, bashing, torture, mutilation and reader brain-damage. Brain bleach recommended.

Hidden Tales From The Chamber Of Secrets - 26 - The Power
.
Harry's thoughts returned to the Department of Mysteries. He remembered Ron being attacked by a swimming brain with tentacles.
He suddenly realised that the Skellegra had released him and then he had heard thoughts …
.
"Mr Potter?"
Harry looked at the mediwitch blankly. She decided to allow him to remain for a while, he was obviously still shocked.

Feeling light headed, Harry remembered his meeting with Dumbledore this very evening. His anger at Dumbledore for concealing the truth from Harry, blaming the interfering old fool for Sirius' death.
Harry was no fool, he knew that he should have listened to Hermione. He knew that the treacherous house-elf, Kreacher, had lied. He knew that his own hot-headed, precipitate departure from the school was blame-worthy also.
"Harry, you will be staying with your relatives this summer, and I must ask that you not contact Mr Weasley or Miss Granger during your stay."
By the time that the old fool had managed to get so far, Harry was long over the anger event horizon and his intellect no was longer in contact with either his sanity or reality.
With a piece of music running through his head he started daydreaming. It was the theme from a muggle television series that Dudley liked. Harry was fascinated by the opening titles that ended with a cartoon man in a bath being stamped on by a gigantic foot.
Harry idly imagined the self same cartoon foot descending …

"Poppy? How is he?"
The mediwitch shook her head. "I fear that unless we are able to reach him soon, we may lose him altogether."
At that point a heard of red-eyed cattle was driven through the hospital wing by ghostly figures on horseback. Harry was watching in wide-eyed amusement and giggling softly to himself as they rode through the back wall..
"The aurors are still trying to figure out what happened to … Albus. They say it looks for all the world as though he was … stood on, crushed like a bug by a gigantic foot."
