Chapter 10

"We are what?" I asked. Dumbledor was right this was going to be hard to explain. "You two are one. Not brother or sister. One person." Dumbledor tried to explian. "Isabel and I are like one person." I said tring to make some sence out of this.

"Not like that Harry. You and Raven are the same person. She is like your clone."

"How is that possible? It isn't we aren't the same person. Anyway she's a girl."

"Yes I realize that, but something happened when your parents died that made you split into two people."

"So...she's me, but not?"

"Yes...sort of....hold on. Let me explain. Raven is the other side of you. The side you don't show. Or for a better term, she's your darker half."

"So she's the evil me?"

"Not exactly. You were never evil, but she's your equal but your opposite."

"Huh?"

"Raven is louder, wilder, and angrier."

"So we're the same person but split."

"Yes exactly. You finally got it."

"I can leave now. I want to check on Ron and Isabel."

Dumbledor sighed and let me leave.

There was some confetti and tissues on the floor. I slowly walked to the hospitol wing soting out what happened that night. I was tired and weak and I couldn't consentrate for too long. "OWWWWW!!!!!" I could hear Isabel scream down the hall, getting her wounds cleaned no dout. I went into the infimary to lye down, but the I caught sight of Ron. He was in a bed on the other side of the room. I crept over to his bed not to wake the other sick and injured. Ron was staring at the celing. He looked depressed and vacant. His face was pale and his eyes were glazed. "Hey Ron." I whispered. He turned his head towards me and smiled. "What did Dumbledor want to talk to you about?" His voice was diffrent, hollow. "He just wanted to tell me that Raven and I are one person." Ron gave me a confuzed look. "I'll explain."

By time I finished Isabel was escorted in by Madame Pomfrey. She had a gash on her face and a cast on her arm and leg and cuts all over the rest of her body. "Hey Harry." I gave her a hug and she screamed in pain. "Harry she has broken ribs and she needs to rest. You have to come with me and get those wounds addressed to." Madame Pomfrey set Isabel in a bed and took me out of the room.

"You have a gash on your stomach and a broken rib. I want you to stay in the infirmary for a few days. I don't want you to be around too many people. Isabel, Ron and you are in quarintine for a few days. We don't know what Voldemort did to the cave. Now off to the infirmatory."

"Wait! Where's Raven's body?"

"Raven's body is magically guarded and frozen in time. Alright now go to bed. It's late."

Isabel was sleeping and Ron was staring at the ceilng when I walked back into the infirmary. I slipped into the bed next to Ron and fell into a deep sleep.

I dreamt about the time before I knew I was a wizard and I accidentally out a spell on Dudley. He started to turn green and his skin turned into scales. Uncle Vernon beat me and yelled at me to make him normal. "No Uncle Vernon! I didn't do anything leave me alone! I'm sorry!" He threw me into the cupboard and yelled "YOU ARE NOT TO COME OUT OF THERE OR I'LL BREAK YOUR LEGS!!!" He had bruised and cut me pretty badly. Then I dremt of another time at the crap school I was forced to go to, the girl I had a crush on ripped my heart out and threw it in a blender. I gave her a flower and she threw it to the ground and stepped on it. She then yelled "I would never like you! You're so ugly and I hate you!!" Then Dudley tried to beat me up and she laughed. Painful memories kept appering in my dreams all night.

I woke up the next morning to Isabel kissing my forhead. I opened my eyes slowly Isabel's cast were taken off. Madame Pomfrey probably fixed her broken bones early this morning. She leaned down and kissed my lips. "Harry it's time to get up." She whispered. I sat up and looked at all the red, yellow, blue and surprisingly green flowers around the room. "All the houses sent flowers." Isabel said.

I looked away from the flowers. They probably didn't even know what happened. The head teachers from the houses sent them in hopes to make us feel better. Within two years I let two people die. Cedric and Raven. I was tired. I was tired for always having to look over my shoulder. Having to worry that if I don't check around the corner I'm going to be killed. I have to worry about Death Eaters now. The fanatics of evil, torchure and death. I wanted to crawl out of my skin and trade places with someone, but I didn't want to put my troubles on an innocent someone.

I lyed on my my side until a big black dog nudged at my feet. "Sirius...uhh...I mean, Snuffles what are you doing here?" I asked excied. The dog whinned and jumped onto my bed. "Isabel do you mind leaving me alone for a minute?"

"No. Not at all."

Isabel walked out into the hall and closed the door behind her. Sirius turned into human form. "Harry are you alright? I heard about you going against Volemort!"

"I'm fine and I did beat Voldemort, but not without help."

"From who? Isabel and Ron were supossedly in chains and the other girl died."

"The one who died helped me. She helped me after she died."

"A ghost."

"I guess so."

"Harry, Dumbledor told me that all warrents of my arrest have been dropped and same with the death penalty."

"That's great!"

"I want you to live with me Harry. I was thinking of getting a house in Hogsmead or somewhere close to Diagon Alley."

I couldn't belive what I was hearing. I was going to be taken away from the Dursleys and live with Sirius. This was beyond belife.

"I would love to live with you and get away from the hell hole I live in now. Would I be able to see my friends over the summer?"

"Of couse Harry. What do you think I am."

I wanted to jump with joy. I've wanted to get away from the Dursley's for as long as I could rember and now I could.

"Thank you so much Sirius!"

"Your welcome Harry. I've got to go to Dumbledor's office, so I'll see you later."

He patted my shoulder and walked out of the room.

I got up from my bed and looked for Isabel and Ron. I walked all over the Hospitol wing, until I found them in a dark room. "What are you guys doing in here?" They both jumped and looked at me. "We're looking at Raven." Ron said sadly. I looked at Raven. She was flaoting above the table frozen in time. Her skin was pale and her lips were a light shade of blue. Her clothes still soaked in blood. Isabel's face was stained with tears. "Accio rose" I said. A rose came floating into the room. I plucked it form the air and placed it in her hair. "Is there any way to bring her back?" Ron asked sadly. "There is a way." Isabel choked out during a sob.
