Chapter 15: Memory's uncovered
Harry walked away from the corpse feeling quite satisfied for doing what his master wanted him to. He leaned up against a tree tossing the Memory ball up and down as he was waiting for his master to win the little squabble that seemed to be going on, and he was. But as Harry tossed it in the air something happened to the ball. It began to glow white and then blue. Harry stopped throwing it and gazed at it. And as he was looking into the ball he began to see shadows of people walking around. The images began to grow clearer as did the muffled sounds and Harry could tell it was his birthday party. Everyone was there gathering around him singing.
"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Harry, Happy Birthday to you."
"Make a wish Harry." Ron's voice was saying.
"and what should I wish for?" Asked Harry.
"Anything you want Harry it's your birthday" answered Hermione.
"Ok" Harry said as he closed his eyes and then blew out the candles.
"What did you wish for Harry?" Asked Ron.
"No, No, don't tell Harry, if you tell anyone, it won't come true." Hermione cut in.
"All right, c'mon Harry, let's go." Ron said waving Harry to the door outside. The Crystal ball's blue light began to dim as the shadows reappeared as Ron put his right arm over Harry's shoulder as their shadows walked out the door. Then the ball went black. A tear rolled down Harry's left cheek. Suddenly pain flashed in Harry's eyes, not physical pain but a pain that touched his heart with the deepest of sorrows for the actions he had just carried out. Harry slowly removed his gaze from the memory ball and screamed. He screamed so loud, but not a sound passed his lips.
