Harry lay in his bed , tossing and turning in the darkness. He could hear the
deep breathing of Ron , Dean and Seamus , and the fitful snores of Neville.
All was as it should be - or was it ? What had happened today ? Harry was
so confused . Harry had actually seen something in the Crystal ball . What
he had seen frightened him . It was like the Mirror of Erised . There was no
way to tell if what he was seeing was true , or false . He could go mad
pondering it , wondering , hoping ... But his parents - they were dead .
They had to be . Dumbledore said so . And they would never join
Voldemort, would they ? After all , they were sworn enemies against him !
Unless ... No . Why would Voldemort try to kill them if they were in his
side? But then again , they might not be dead . Harry had been so sure
about it before . But now ...

"Lavender ?"
"What ?"
Ron looked at her , her deep blue eyes reflecting the moonlight that was
streaming through the common room windows .
"Have you noticed something weird going on with Harry ?'
"Aside from the fact that he sees weird things in Divination , and collapses
in Transfiguration ?" She said , sarcastically .
"Well , I was just asking you , because you are sort of a seer ."
"Sort of ?"
"Well , are you or not ?"
"I don't know . Sometimes , I see things. Other times , I can't."
"You need you're inner eye testing , if you ask me ." Ron said , suddenly
recalling a conversation that had gone on between him and Harry .
"What ?"
"Nothing . Nerve mind . It's nothings."
Lavender cast a suspicious glance at him .
"Well , sometimes I can see things . I can see what I want to be . I could
see you and ... and me . I couldn't see Cedric dying . I couldn't see
Voldemort coming back . I can't see what's going to happen to Harry."
"Which means ..."
"It could mean anything. But if I can't see it , chances are ..."
"It's not good ."
Lavender nodded .
Ron sighed , and buried his face in Lavander's shoulder .

Draco stared at the latter down in his hand . His hands shook
uncontrollably, and he could feel tears beginning to find their way down his
face . As a teardrop finally landed on the page , it blurred the ink , sending
the torrents of blue out onto the page . He sighed , and tried to pull himself
together . But it wasn't working . How could things have gotten this bad ?
Draco ,
Our master has called at last for you . You are to be initiated into the
Society Of Death Eaters over your vacation . Congratulations
- Father

Harry looked at the letter in his hand , at breakfast . His hands were
shaking uncontrollably , and he could almost feel the tears beginning to
course down his face . He looked down .
Harry ,
Our master has at last called for it . For the time . You will be destroyed
over Vacation . Or Hogwarts. It is up to you . You may choose . Yourself ,
Hogwarts . You always have a choice . That is yours. An owl will arrive at
your window at 12 O'clock on may 6 . Be there with a response , or ... you
know the consequences .

Hermione looked down at the letter in her hand , in her dorm . Her hands
were shaking uncontrollably , and she could feel the tears on her nose ...
She sighed , and began to read again .
Hermione ,
The Dark Lord at last called for your parents . I regret to inform you that the
latest murder by you - know - who has , alas , been of your parents .
Decisions about where you are to stay will be arranged ...
~*~
So it was happening , at last , for all three of them. The thing they most
feared . Was there some possible way , that Voldemort knew ? What they
feared most in the world ? Draco , a Death Eater ? Harry , forced to choose
between his life , and so many other's ? Hermione - parentless ? ...
