The Power Of Friends
Harry looked out of the car window as they neared The Burrow and felt that he was arriving home. It was the same sort of feeling he felt when he went back to Hogwarts. He had never felt this way when he thought of Privet Drive, he had come to the conclusion that this was because he had never felt love when he was there.
Harry had thought ahead to tell Ron and Hermione that he was about five minutes away from the Burrow so when he arrived they were already outside to meet him. They helped him to take his things inside where Mrs. Weasley gave him a great big hug; he was a tiny bit embarrassed but didn't mind it too much.
After he had gotten all of his stuff up to Ron's room. The trio went in search of Ginny so that they could talk to her about her dreams. Harry had told the other two by telepathy what she had been dreaming about. They, as he was, were completely shocked as to the nature of her dreams. When they found her and had told her what her dreams meant, she went as white as a sheet because she had thought that there was no way that those horrible things that had been in her dreams could have possibly happen in real life.
Harry told her that he didn't know how it was happening, but he had already owled someone to ask their opinion. He almost told her that the person he had sent the owl to be Sirius Black, but he stopped himself just in time, he didn't think she would want any more shocks that day. He also decided that now was not the time to offer the option of joining the link to Ginny. Instead he suggested that they all go outside and play a game of Quiditch. All within hearing range of this comment agreed, except for Hermione who preferred to study, and Mrs. Weasley who was busy cooking dinner at the time.
While the others were busy playing outside in the orchid, there was a telepathic conversation going on between Harry, Hermione and Ron, It went like this,
(Well, she didn't take that very well did she?) Ron started with
(Well it was quite a shock for her. How would you fell Ron if someone came up to you and told you that you were somehow having dreams of events that happened to someone else, your crush, no less) Hermione chastised.
(I don't know. Why don't you say it so we can find out) Ron said jokingly.
(Please you two, if you have to flirt, then please don't do it while were in an open link. I might just lose my breakfast, and I can tell you that it won't look as good coming back up as it did going down) Harry replied feeling disgusted (Anyways, weren't we out here to play some quiditch? Let's continue that for now and then we can worry about Ginny later.)
With that stated they all went back to their activities and enjoyed themselves for the rest of the afternoon.
Later on that night the three of them were talking with Ginny and the twins. Mainly the discussion revolved around the adventures that Harry, Ron and Hermione had been involved in during their time at Hogwarts, with a few stories of the pranks that Fred and George had pulled. However there had been no mention of the third year from the dream team. This was because they were still undecided on whether they should tell the others.
Finally the twins decided that they were going to bed. At this time the trio asked each other if now was the time to tell Ginny about Sirius. To bring up the subject they asked Ginny what she thought of Sirius Black. The answer they received was that he was a murderer who had betrayed Harry's parents. They soon took up the task of convincing her that this was not the case. Ginny seemed to be accepting what she was being told, but she wanted some proof of what they said. They offered her the option of entering the Psychic link but she wasn't sure she wanted she was ready for that yet. In reality she wasn't sure that the link was safe, and she also was a tiny bit embarrassed that Harry might be able to read her thoughts. Seeing that Ginny was reluctant Hermione commented,
'I'm positive it's safe Ginny, and the other members of the link can't read your thoughts without your permission. However it is your decision.'
'Well I'm not so sure that I want to. I might change my mind later though. I mean, I'm not best friends with all of you yet so I want to wait a while.' Ginny replied.
'That's fine. When you decide that you want to be in come talk to us then.' Harry said while yawning, 'Well I'm beat. I'll see you all tomorrow then. 'Night.'
Everyone else said a chorus of Goodnights as they all went to their rooms. For Harry Hermione and Ron though it wouldn't be a dreamless sleep. For Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters were having a meeting that night, and the trio were going to be unwilling guests through their dreams.
They trio appeared next to each other in the graveyard that Harry had been transported to during the Tri-Wizard Tournament. When Harry scar started to hurt they knew that their reason for being here was Voldemort. Although Ron and Hermione didn't understand why they were there until they realized that this must be a side affect of the Psychic link.
They watched intently as all the Death Eaters arrived in the graveyard. After apparating in all of the death eaters formed a circle with a gap that opened out towards the house. The Trio guessed that this must be where Voldemort was currently hiding, and stored this information so that they could tell Professor Dumbledore when they awoke.
With a flash of light Voldemort apparated and walked into the center of the circle, Raising his voice he started the meeting by saying 'Welcome my loyal servants. Tonight we will begin our plan to finally get our revenge upon Harry Potter and those that support him. We will be trying to kill him as well as that Muggle-Loving-Fool Dumbledore and in doing so crush the light side and raise the dark to it's rightful place as leader of this planet, with me at the head.'
'We shall do this by opening a portal to hell and calling up a few demons to use against Hogwarts. However this will also take a lot of hard work and careful planning.' He continued.
Now turning his attention to a Death Eater and he snapped 'Wormtail, your task will be to research what is needed for us to achieve our goals. Malfoy will provide you with assistance, don't stuff it up.'
He now turned his attention to another DE and said 'Snape, your task will be to keep an eye on what that fool Dumbledore is attempting against me. We must not have any major interruptions while this plan is in action, you must also keep tabs on where the Potter brat is at all times. I still don't fully trust you so this is your opportunity to prove your loyalty to me. Tell me, to the best of your knowledge where is the boy at this point in time? My sources tell me that he has left his muggle family and we don't have ant idea where he is.'
The very recognizable voice of their Potion Master replied 'Dumbledore has moved the boy to Hogwarts, My Lord, he believes that you may attempt an attack on him if he stays with the Muggles.'
Harry gave a sigh of relief at this, his instincts were right and Snape was being used as a spy against the dark lord. He hoped that Snape wouldn't get killed, even though the Potion Master seemed to hate him, Harry didn't want anyone to die for mistakes that he had made.
Voldemort responded to Snape's reply with 'That fool thinks I'd do something as stupid as attacking the boy at a place that has so many ancient protections upon it I'd be a fool to try anything.'
'I agree my Lord; the old coot must be going senile in his old age. May I ask as to what you are going to do with the ministry My Lord, the foolish minister still does not believe you have returned, will you kill him for his foolishness?' Snape asked cautiously.
'Time will tell Snape, time will tell. I might have further purposes yet for our illustrious Minister Fudge,' Voldemort replied evasively. To the rest of the Death Eaters he said 'As for the rest of you. Continue with occasional Muggle attacks, but don't attack any Wizards until I give the signal. Now get out of my sight all of you.'
The trio watched as the Death Eaters apparated away. All except for Wormtail who approached the Dark Lord and said 'Snape lies, my lord, Potter usually goes to the Weasley house during his holidays, Dumbledore would more likely put up protections around The Weasley house instead of taking him to Hogwarts. Potter would prefer to be with his friends rather than his teachers.'
'Wormtail, Wormtail, this is unlike you, such perceptiveness, I would never have thought you capable of it. Indeed Potter is at the Weasleys, however I told Snape I believed him because he is most certainly a spy for Dumbledore, I could kill him but if I keep him here then I can feed Dumbledore with false information, so Snape stays alive. For the moment anyway.' Came Voldemort's answer.
'Yes, my lord, again you are wise. I should never have doubted you. I apologize.'
With that the dream faded away and left Harry with a burning sensation in his scar. Usually he would have cried out but practice of his reaction that he got while he was at the Dursleys made it possible for him not to. However this time he had three other people who had seen the dream, although he only knew about two. Those two however were now jamming the link with messages about what they had seen, the main though they all had though was that they must tell Dumbledore what they had seen as early as possible. Hermione wanted to owl him right then and there, but the boys convinced her that there was no point and that they would owl him in the morning. And with all that said, the trio went to sleep again, but this time it was dreamless.
Harry looked out of the car window as they neared The Burrow and felt that he was arriving home. It was the same sort of feeling he felt when he went back to Hogwarts.
