Wow!!!! That was a long time, for us anyway. Menyl and I are now writing the story together, because we said so. Ummm, we're going to take over the world, but don't worry about that right now, just read the story. READ WE SAID!!!!!!
THE TOWER
BY: CELENAE THE GODDESS OF REVENGE AND MENYL THE GODDESS OF MANIPULATION
THE FADING OF RON'S MENTALITY
The first thing Ron saw when he awoke, was the ceiling. He looked around, and began to wonder how he had gotten in his room. When he went to the kitchen, Percy was sitting down, and was very red in the face.
Where have you been? Percy asked angrily as he looked up. He certainly didn't look like one to mess with.
Now that he thought about it, Ron didn't know where he was before this. Then he heard a menacing voice echo in the back of his mind. I was sleeping......it told him. No I wasn't..... he thought, but it was too late. He didn't seem to have control over what he was saying.
I was sleeping, I'm sorry Percy. I guess I didn't hear you. What is this? Why can't I say what I want? Percy's face seemed to fade back to it's normal color.
Next time, tell someone, and leave your door open. Geez, if mom....... And he went on muttering as Ron left the room. I'll go write a letter to Harry, he thought. Yes, yes that's the first good idea you've had kid....the voice said. He went up to his room, found some parchment, and began to write. He then realized, that there were no more owls left in his house to use. At that very moment, Errol and Pig came flying through the window.
*********************************************************************************************
Harry gazed at the clear blue sky outside as it darkened. Almost immediately, he saw many flying figures coming towards him. As Dumbledore once said, it was like being in a hailstorm of owls. Hedwig finally returned to him and there was an owl from Hermione, saying Hi. There was an owl from Sirius, wishing him a happy birthday. There was an owl from Hogwarts, telling him what would be needed for this year. Last but not least, there was an owl from Ron, asking him to come over.
The sun was beginning to set, and thinking the Dursleys wouldn't mind if he just disappeared, he gathered up his things and left. He had a bit of difficulty dragging his trunk, but once he got far away enough from the Dursley's, he stopped. Harry searched for his wand, and held it out. Suddenly with a big crack, the Knight Bus appeared. To his dismay, the driver and the teen, were still working there.
Well, if it isn't Arry Potta, he said with a big smile on his face. He began to wish he just dragged his trunk to Ron's house. Harry paid the boy and sat on his assigned bed. With another crack, the bus was moving again. Watching the scenery pass by gave Harry a headache, so he lay down. After a while, Harry began to drift asleep.
He was in complete darkness. Then, the great gate appeared in front of him. As in his previous dream, he was being lifted up over the gate. He was in the air and 20 feet away from the man on the tower now. He began to move closer, curious as to who this man was. A smile spread across the face of the figure as Harry inched closer. Then, once Harry could almost see this man perfectly, he was being pulled down. The anguished voices grew louder and louder. The bodies these voices were attached to were pulling him down with them. He landed into the pit of darkness with a great THUD!!!!
'Arry, are you alright? The boy asked. Harry looked up at him bewildered. He nodded and got back up on the bed. I think I recognize that man. SHOOT!!! I was too far away to be sure, Harry thought angrily to himself. Just then the bus came to a halt.
Ere's your stop, the boy said smiling at Harry. He opened the door and helped him put his trunk out. Outside, the night had barely begun.
muttered Harry. He tried to go as fast as he could to Ron's house. it was of no use since his trunk was too big. After what seemed liked forever, he reached the front door of the Weasleys. He knocked and waited. Ginny answered the door.
Hi Harry!!!! Hey everyone, Harry's here!! she said cheerfully. The entire family, excluding Charlie, ran to the door and greeted Harry. Aaaah, now this is home, sighed Harry as he greeted them all. They all seemed to want to talk to him at once, he felt so welcomed. He ate and talked, but it was beginning to get very late.
Come one Harry, let's go to my room, Ron said as he motioned Harry to leave. He got up and followed Ron. As they climbed the many stairs, Ron began to have visions, almost memories of what happened earlier that day. Then suddenly, like a flash of light, everything that happened that morning came flooding back into his head. Soon, he remembered everything and he became worried. I have to tell Harry, Ron told himself.
Harry, this is very important. This morning I-I..., Ron began, but then he heard something. Oh no you don't, you foolish child, the voice told him. Stop it, leave me alone, Ron screamed in his mind. Stupid boy, do you really think you can over power me? You will do as I say now SHUT UP!!! The voice was very agitated.
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!!!!!! Ron yelled. Harry was so startled he almost fell down the stairs. Ron had his hands on his head, and his face began to go red.
Ron, are you alright, what's wrong? Talk to me. Harry was now pulling Ron up off the floor. His friend was shaking madly. Ron just looked up at Harry and gave a small yelp. Harry put his arm around Ron, and Ron's arm on his shoulders. Slowly, he helped Ron up the stairs.
Maybe I should get your mom, Harry said as he wiped the sweat from his brow. It's time for me to take over boy, the voice told Ron. Afraid are we? Don't worry, you'll have your pathetic little body back soon enough. You're going to mess this up for me though, so BACK OFF!! The voice echoed in his mind.
No, I'm fine, Ron said with a new confidence. It was probably something Fred and George put in my food. All I need is some sleep, Ron told Harry, and a stronger spell, he muttered.
What did you say? I didn't quite hear you, Harry inquired, looking at Ron suspiciously.
I just said Good night, and with that, Ron turned over and fell asleep in his bed. Harry looked puzzled. What's with all this weird behavior? Oh well.....Harry thought as he slowly drifted off to sleep again.
*********************************************************************************************
That was close, the kid almost ruined it for me, the man shouted angrily. He regained his composure and sat down.
Maybe you have to use a stronger spell master, suggested his servant. The Man just looked at his servant in disgust.
You think I haven't already thought of that? I KNOW!!!! He is stronger than I expected, no need to worry though. He will break, just like his old pal Sirius did. At this the man started laughing madly. The laughing was ringing through the halls of the castle. It was also ringing in the ears of Harry as he awoke in a cold sweat.
*********************************************************************************************
