November 20
Melody sat on the floor of her room working on the clock. She wasn't sure how Voldemort had gotten it but she was pretty cretin her mother had worn this around her neck, with a shrinking charm on it of course. There was a gold chain attached to it, though the clasp was broken. She sighed in frustration, there was something missing in what she was doing. She clicked a piece into place then turned and looked at the face of the clock. There were three hands on it, one was blue, one black, the other a dark red. One represented decades, the other years and another hours, but which one did what she didn't know, and the stupid thing refused to tick!!
She groaned wishing she could throw it against the wall and forget the whole thing.
She turned it back over and started at the inside of the clock, what was missing? An enchantment? No, those last for thousands of years. A charm? No, those are quite useless when dealing with time travel. She rubbed her eyes tiered, her head ached from concentrating so much, and her neck ached from leaning over so.
"You are tiered." A voice said.
She looked up at her Lord Voldemort, she nodded, "Yes my lord, it is well into the evening and you came to me this morning. I am sorry if it displeases you."
He nodded, "It is quite alright, you have worked diligently, and you are young. I will have one of the house elves bring something to eat and then you can sleep."
He held out his hand and she placed the clock in it. He turned and left through a door she had yet to find. After he had gone she stood and stretched then sat down, this time in one of the chairs. She stared into the happily crackling fire and let her mind wonder.
She stood in a wood of willows. A boy a few hands taller then her slowly walked towards her. His lips moved but she heard no sound. She felt her heart beat faster and her eyes traveled involuntarily to his lips. Then he stood just inches from her his astounding green eyes searched hers almost desperately, and then his lips where upon hers kissing her tenderly. Heat rushed through her melting her insides and she wrapped her arms around his neck and his arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer.
Then quite suddenly he was torn away from her and she found they were no longer in the woods but in a dim dungeon. Something grabbed her shoulder stopping her from moving towards the boy. He stood very still and very pale, his slips were opened in shock. Then his eyes rolled back in his head and he crumpled to the ground. Blood stained the back of his shirt. It took but a moment to see what happened. And anguish cry fell from her lips.
A figure she knew well stepped out from the shadows, his evil grin sending shivers of fear and hatred through her.
He shook his head, "To think this is all your fault," he laughed.
Melody jerked awake. Had she been sleeping? The fire was lower then previously and a try of food sat on the table in front of her. She closed her eyes, what had she been dreaming about? Who was that boy? The name Harry Potter whispered through her mind and her eyes widened.
"He's going to kill Harry!"
(A/n: no surprise there, eh?)
Harry jerked awake his breathing came out in gasps.
"Harry! Are you alright?"
Harry blinked his eyes focusing on the red head in front of him. Ron, Hermione and Harry were in the common rooms studying for exams. Harry realized he had fallen asleep.
"Yes, Ron. I'm fine, I guess I'm just tiered." Harry said closing the book on his lap.
His two friends looked at him in concur, "You were calling out in you're sleep." Ron said.
Harry nodded as if he expected that and then he smiled sadly, "I think I know where Melody is."
Melody stood from the chair and walked over to the window. She looked out again into the darkness. The trees surrounding the house looked haunted and forbidden in the pale moonlight. Her head started pounding ferociously and she closed her eyes against the pain.
Noise filled her sense. A battle was being waged near by. Voices yelled and magic flew all around. Then suddenly all was quite. She shivered violently in the sudden silence. Something was going on, something had happened. A door opened and someone called her name.
Melody opened her eyes again. She was still leaning against the window. Her room was still, nothing a miss. She pushed away from the window and moved to sit on her bed. Something was going to happen, she wasn't going to be here much longer.
A/N: Hey everyone. This is so late, I'm so sorry. Still not all that good but I have such major writers block writing the was like trying to squeeze water from a rock. But I hope you like it anyways and I'm going to try really really hard to the next chapter up ASAP.
