Chapter 11
-P.O.V. Mallory-
The dream was one of the few things on my mind. Harry was one, of course. But the dream didn't make sense. It had wizards, like Harry, and mentioned the Potters, and a Harry. But what had this got to do with my crush? Honestly, I didn't want to find out.
-The dream-
The man had red cat-eye pupils, and a flat face with no nose. He was listening to orders from someone – a voice in his head. 'I will convince the Potters to change secret keeper. They will change to the second person they trust, the Pettigrew boy'
"Very good. Will you tell me who you are?"
'No, Riddle' he said the word 'Riddle' like it was a bad thing, like a thing that is to be ashamed of.
"That is not my identity. I do not look like that- like that muggle. I am Lord Voldemort now. A name most wizards fear to speak! Why do you care about our war?" Again, the word muggle, said like and insult.
'Let's just say… I have a score to settle with a wizard, and this is the way to do it'
"Why am I trusting you?"
'Only you can answer that.'
"Just one more question. Who are you?"
'You wouldn't believe me if I did.' The flat-faced man laughed. "I, who has gone further than any other wizard? I, who has gone to extreme lengths to prevent death, not believe you? I believe I can."
'I will not tell you my identity, but please, call me…..,'
The dreamer screamed as she realised who he was, and in a flash she left this dream.
-Different Dream-
The girl had long red hair, and a baby boy in her arms. One of the two men had dark messy hair, and looked like Harry in everything but the eyes. The other man looked like a criminal the dreamer had seen on a newspaper that belonged to the son of Zeus. "James, Lily, listen! You-Know-Who will go after me, not after Pettigrew! No-one will know, he'll be after me, and Merlin forbid the spy finds out! This is the only way to keep Harry safe. To keep your child safe." The criminal said. The dreamer wanted to cry out. He was a criminal! Why did they listen to him! And what was that about the man being Harry's father. Surely the man didn't mean biological father. If he wasn't the biological father, then why was Harry the spitting image of him. The dreamer would dig deeper when she woke up. For now, she could not escape the icy grasp of Hypnos. The third man startled the dreamer. He was so unremarkable she hadn't noticed him. "Yes, Lily, James, please. The Dark- I mean You-Know-Who won't go after someone as weak as me." He was almost pleading, and the dreamer remembered what Kronos had told the snake man he would do. She tried to warn them, but the woman said "I think it's best we do this, James. To protect Harry." He muttered something under his breath like 'Happy, Hera?' sighed, and then said "Fine. He will grow to be strong like Greek heroes from myth, and we shall protect him!" the woman laughed, and the dreamer knew the deal was done. "What is it with you and Greek mythology, James? I swear, soon you'll go on about how it's actually real, and so are the gods!"
"Yes, well, I'd like Harry to know these stories. And I wouldn't be surprised if the gods were real, after all. If they were real, I'd tell Hera not to be so hard on her husband." The man, James, laughed again and the dream faded once more.
-Final Dream-
"Sirius, why. Lily and James, oh no." The two men from the previous dream were staring at each other. 'Get angry, Sirius. He betrayed you and your friends. He shouldn't live, worthless piece of filth.'
"No. You've told me your name, and from James' pointless talks about Greek mythology, I wouldn't know why you'd call yourself that. I don't want to listen to you!"
'Oh well. Pettigrew clearly doesn't feel the same. By the way, why Z- I mean James knew so much about Greek mythology is because he lived through it! Your best friend, but he didn't tell you the secret, did he? Well, he is Zeus, Lord of the Skies!' The criminal thought the voice in his head was crazy, but the dreamer saw sense. Apparently Zeus had been banished to another country when Thalia was born. Clearly he didn't learn his lesson, otherwise Harry wouldn't be here, making her fall asleep. Wait, what? The dreamer stayed. Watched. Waited. "What do you mean, Pettigrew? Have you been feeding that traitor information too. I wouldn't expect anything less from a man who calls himself that,"
"Sirius! Oh, Lily and James, why? Why did you do this? At least Harry didn't die because of you!" the smaller man, the one called Pettigrew sobbed. But the dreamer knew. She knew everything, knew who was behind everything. It always came back to him, didn't it. Him or Gaia. The dreamer also knew who was behind Harry's parents dying. She saw a flash of light, and woke up.
"Damn you Hypnos. I need to see Chiron. I had a dream,"
-MEETING WITH CHIRON-
"Chiron, I need to see you! I know what happened when Harry was a baby!"
"Mallory, what has this got to do with any demigods?"
"I don't know yet, but it seems important. Kronos was behind it all, whispering in the ears of a man called Sirius, a man called Pettigrew, and a man called Tom, but doesn't like that name so calls himself Voldemort." We were in the Big House, and I was with Chiron and Harry. "Wait, like Sirius Black? He's a criminal!"
"Harry, I don't think so. You see, Sirius came up with the idea of switching to Pettigrew, then Pettigrew sobbed and blamed Sirius. I must admit, Pettigrew's idea of faking his own death and then living with the Weasleys was a good one,"
"Wait, what?! My best friend's a Weasley, and how did you know that?"
"Well, let's just say I have my sources," I was being mysterious for no reason, but hey, it was entertaining.
-P.O.V. Harry-
My dad, my mum, everything I could have had. All gone, because of Kronos. I felt like just giving up, wondering why. I knew why now. Why my life was the way it was. It was for justice, to find out about myself. Was I wrong? I didn't know. "Chiron, let me on a quest. I want to go back to Hogwarts, and find out what happened when I was a baby."
"A quest? Now, Harry, I don't think you need a quest for this, so I'm not going to give you one. We haven't had quests since the war with Gaia, nor have we needed them."
"But, Chiron!"
"Harry, I don't know what you get away with at school but I don't think this should be tolerated anywhere." I stopped; Chiron was right. "All right then. I'll go now?"
"Yes, Harry. Focus on your training and learning of this world."
"Okay sir"
"Just call me Chiron, Harry"
I'm sorry. I've been busy with school, but here's another chapter for you all!
Actually, I should get going; I've been dodging homework so I'll start writing later. Bye guys!
