Chapter 6 " A dream…or a foresight?"
Suddenly the huge doors to the Great Hall fell open, making everyone gasp in surprise, and in stormed Hagrid.
"They are here"
As soon as he said this, the hole castle began to tremble, as if hundreds of Mantrikoras were intending to break into the castle, through the charmed walls.
The long tables trembled so terrible that books and bags dropped down to the floor. The chairs began to shake so violently that most of the students crawled down under the tables, though as if that was a brilliant idea.
The hundreds of lit candles that elevated right under the enchanted ceiling, suddenly faded away and a dark mantel of blackness laid all over the Great Hall. Some of the girls began to scream, but were quiet down when Professor Dumbledore's voice loudly echoed between the walls in the massive hall.
"Silence!"
He grabbed the table's sides with his hands, his eyes illuminating a tremendous anger but also what could be called as fear. His hands shook, but not once did his gaze lose the wisdom that was a part of his inner soul.
"Hagrid", he said next, turning to the half giant." Lead the children out"
He paused.
"…and then let our visitors in"
"But- Pr-", Hagrid protested, fear radiating from his scared face.
"Do as I say an-"
But not did Dumbledore had the chance to say anything more though suddenly a cold breeze blew in like a strong hurricane, and chairs rolled over and bounced against the wall with a thud.
Silence again, though many of the students, including Lily, were to choked to even pronounce a word. After that, a loud creak was heard and in came about fifteen tall figures with long black coats, and hoods that covered their faces, walking in both sides of the Hall and in the middle they went. Their feet barely touched the floor, though they seemed to float above the ground.
There was something very peculiar with them, Lily noticed, when she bent forward, over Maya Devi's shaking shoulder, to have a better look. When bending forward, one of those mysterious figures passed by her outstretched head, and Lily felt like a hundred of cold and sharp knives stabbed her heart. She felt empty, as if all her happy memories had faded away and were instead replaced by dark thoughts and…nightmares. From a long distance a cry ringed in her ears, a cry of a baby, so distanced but yet so close…
Lily felt herself slip into a dream, as the sight before her began to become a blur. The cry became louder, and louder, and louder…
"Lily!", a voice called out, bringing her back to reality. She snapped her eyes open, and saw Maya Devi, giving her a push.
"Don't lean on me Lily, you almost made me fall forward!"
"Sorry", Lily mumbled, leaning back. Her heart bounced hard against her chest, the cry was now gone, and so was the vision she had got with her eyes closed. She swallowed hard and leaned forward a bit, to get a better sight of the scenario that was played before her eyes, though it was very difficult to see what happened under the Gryffindor table.
They stopped in front of Professor Dumbledore, in a line, with their backs to the students. Lily forced her eyes to see better through the darkness, when the Hall suddenly swam in a ocean of light. That's when Lily could see it. The creatures had green, not so visible, chains
around their necks and wrists.
One of them, or it was very difficult to say one of them because this one was much shorter and didn't have chains, took a step forward and pushed his hood back, which revealed a rather slender face.
"Professor Dumbleore", The man said, breaking the silence. His voice sounded somewhat kind but also cold. This man had blond slimy hair, and dark eyes which were hidden behind thick eyebrows. He glanced at the astonished students, and his face suddenly changed, as if he had not been obvious that he had intruded to a room filled with students. He took a step back, and then turned to Dumbledore again. "I didn't know that you were having an assembly, or even-"
"Sir. Nolberto de Profunsky," Dumbledore said coldly, interrupting him" What a nice surprise, always at the right time and the right place", he continued, his voice with a tone of sarcasm.
Professor Dumbledore glanced at the chained Dementors, and with a resolute face he grabbed his wand and said;" Losa Fria", and the chains disappeared around the Dementors' necks and wrists.
"You don't have to treat them like animals", Professor Dumbledore said, putting down his wand in his coat.
"But that's what I though they were", Profunsky said with a laugh, and turned to the Dementors, who had their heads bowed." Aren't you, my fellow guardians?" He took a step forward in attempt to touch one of the Dementors' coat, but backed away immediately as if something had burned him. With a pale and blank face he turned back to Dumbledore. " It's allright, taking away the chains doesn't make any difference, they're still filthy creatures. They can't do me and anyone any harm" He paused"…at least not without my instructions. But a man must take precocious, specially now, mustn't one Dumbledore? Wasn't it so you said?"
"Enough of it!", roared Dumbledore, making Profunsky silent immediately, not enjoying Profunsky's little game." If you want to talk to me, be my pleasure, but not here."
Profunsky turned around and saw Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, Gryffindors, and the majority of the Slytherin under their respective tables, with exceptions like Lucios Malfoy, Serverous Snape, Devon Malaid, Sara Corelia, Barty Crouch, Emiliesa Fowkel who standing up, and acting as if they didn't mind the "guests". Profunsky's face turned from confusion to surprise.
"Ohh…", he said, with a faint smile on his lips." You haven't told them yet"
"No, I haven't…"Professor Dumbledore said dryly.
"The ministry will then be very pleased with you Dumbledore", Profunsky said, pronouncing every word with delight" I'm very pleased", he paused, turning to the students", We feared that you would disobey us, and do exactly what we told you not to." He shook his head, and took a few steps towards Dumbledore, so that he stood face to face to the old man." W-E
can handle it Dumbledore, and in time they'll know, in time you can tell them what you're so eager to tell them. But not now. Not under my leadership."
"I haven't said that I won't tell them, and I will not wait until you think the time is appropriate."
"Watch out Dumbledore. I know that the others in the ministry have utterly respect for you, but even with all your grades and success the ministry and I, as the minister of Magic, won't aloud you to break the rules."
"You don't fool me Profunsky", Dumbledore said, barely whispering" I know that the ministry is under your influence and your are deceiving them with your own blindness, your fear. You search for excuses to hide the number of deaths every day, you fear to meet the scandal, you fear of not having control anymore. You fear of waking up one day and see that everything is not like it was before. Your own blindness is deceiving you, and won't let you open your eyes. And if you continue to follow this path, death is what waits us all."
"Don't be so sure…Professor Dumbledore"
Profunsky backed away and with a last look of hatred towards Dumbledore, he stormed out of the Great Hall, shouting" Defri losa", as the now chained Dementors followed him, leaving a creeping coldness behind themselves.
"Wait!", someone suddenly shouted. A tall boy, with raven black hair, suddenly ran out from the Great Hall, trough the Entrance Hall, out from the dark brown oak doors, holding a golden watch, and after Sir. Nolberto Profunsky, who already was outside the castle, walking through the green grass in the morning sun. The boy was indeed James Potter.
James Potter hurried down the lawn, towards the one black coat that wasn't floating above the ground. His throat was dry, and James could feel how nervous he really was, but he had to see, had to see it that man had the same….
"Sir, wait!", James Potter shouted again, and finally the man stopped his track and turned around to see the flushed face of a tall boy, who looked out to be fifteen-sixteen years old, hurrying towards him.
"What do you want silly boy?!", Profunsky spatted. He was indeed in no mood to answer stupid questions.
"Sir, you dropped your watch", James responded lamely, looking straight into Profunsky's face.
Profunsky looked startled for a minute, but then grabbed the glistening watch that James was holding.
"Thank you boy. I will remember this.", Profunsky said and smiled.
"A beautiful watch indeed, Sir", James continued, not taking the eyes from the watch.
Profunsky just nodded, and made an attempt to walk away when the boy opened his mouth again.
"Sir, aren't you going to put it on?", James said in one breath. Profunsky raised his left eyebrow suspiciously,"…so that you won't loose it again, I mean", James continued
"If that pleases you, young man", Profunsky responded angrily , this boy was making more and more irritated than he already was.
Profunsky pulled up the sleeve of his left arm, and hocked the watch around his wrist.
"Now, are you pleased, boy?"
Silence.
"Stupid boy", muttered Profunsky and with that he walked away, now behind the Dementors who already were ahead of him, leaving James Potter standing there dumbstruck.
James Potter swallowed hard, as he looked after Profunsky. He was more than pleased, but at the same time in deep sorrow, the short time that Profunsky had pulled up his left sleeve gave James Potter the time to see what he was looking for.
The mark of the skull on Profunsky's forearm had been almost visible, but James had seen it, he had seen the mark that had haunted his dream last night. He had seen the mark that made him wake up sweating…along with the face. He had seen what had made tears run along his cheeks last night.
James felt his throat tighten and closed his eyes for a second gathering his thoughts, before turning around and slowly going back to the tremendous castle, wondering and fearing what else that could be true from his dream…or had it been a foresight?
To be continue….
