Chapter Six: Dreadful Dreams
Harry turned over in his sleep as a picture of a fire burned through his mind. A young woman with deep black hair hanging over a singed white robe. In her arms she was clutching a child with dark hair like hers. Above the burning object was a blurred green symbol. Suddenly their was a scream from the woman as she fell to the ground still clutching her child.
Harry woke up as a cold sweat washed over his body. His breath was hollow and frightening as he reached for his glasses unable to find them. Quietly he laid back down his body quivering from the horrid nightmare. Not able to fall back asleep Harry forgot his glasses and walked into the lavatory to take a shower.
Harry stripped off his robes as he stepped into the heated water of the shower and began to clean the sweat as he thought about the dream. The baby was wearing a moon crystal... where have I seen it before? Harry could help but feel exhausted, even in the shower. Slowly he sank down and fell to sleep again as the water washed over him.
"Save the child!" Someone yelled from a distance. Harry watched as a blurred figure ran into his path of vision scooping the girl out of her dead mothers arms. He seemed to wait a moment looking at the lifeless figure before carring the child away.
The scene suddenly fast forwarded it's self as Harry appearing at Hogwarts behind a girl with flowing brown hair that was nearly black. Around her neck hung the crystal the baby had been wearing. She was staring up at a professor, she couldn't have been a student, she was too young.
"Miss Starlight, what are you doing out of bed?" The faceless professor asked.
"I could not sleep. My mother came to the fire." The girl responded emotionlessly. "She told me to go to the lake, that it was important."
The professor seemed to find some fear in this as another professor entered the corridor. "Is there a problem Professor McGonagall?" The man asked stepping into the light. It was non other then Professor Dumbledore.
"Albus, I think it is time to tell Miss Starlight of her mother." Professor McGonagall said seriously.
Harry woke up to the sounds of his housemates walking into the lavatory. Quickly he stood up as he washed the dried shampoo out of his hair and wrapped a towel around his lower torso while the water turned its self off.
Quickly he stepped out of the shower and walked over to one of the mirrors looking at his reflection. "I look Dreadful." He muttered under his breath.
Right you are Harry. His mirror replied menecingly back to him. What did you do? Sleep on a soup box?
Harry shook his head ignoring the comments from his mirror which someone had obviously tampared with. He brushed his teeth and ignored his hair before walking out of the lavatory and putting on a set of school robes. Classes were begining today. He walked over to his bed looking for his glasses but still wasn't able to find them.
"Harry are you in here?" A familliar voice came from the entrance to the dormatory. "Oh there you are." Harry turned and watched as Ron walked towards him. "What are you doing?" He asked curiously.
"Looking for my buggered glasses." Harry replied laying flat on his stomach and searching under his four poster. "Ah, found 'em" He said standing back up cleaning the lenses off and putting them on. "What is that?" Harry said peering at a silve badge attached to Ron's robes.
Ron scratched the back of his head. "Yea, about that... I'm kind of a pre-"
"PREFECT?! You the Gryffindor prefect?" Harry said rather loudly. Harry shook his head. "Well congratulations. Where's Hermione?"
"In the common room." Ron replied rather upsetly before walking out of the dorm and down the stairs. Harry followed his friend cursing silently to himself.
"Goodmorning Harry! We were worried, breakfast has been over for ten minutes." Hermione said standing up. "I've got your schedule for you." She said handing him a few pages of parchment.
"Hermione, what did you sign me up for?" He said scanning the class list which consisted of at least 12 different classes.
"The normal... Potions, Charms, Care of Magical Creatures, Defense Against the Dark Arts, History of Magic, Divinations..." Hermione said before getting quieter, "Muggle Studies... and a few other."
Harry sighed. "I'm always going to have homework." He said as he slumped into the couch. "What do you mean breakfast has been over for ten minutes? I've been up since five in the morning." He said glancing at his two friends who shrugged.
Harry yawned feeling slightly tired again. "I'm so tired." He complained before he fell asleep again.
A cloaked figure turned around to stare at Hogwarts Castle clutching a child silently in her arms. "Dumbledore, you must never speak of my daughter." The woman whispered lightly. "She is in danger. I fear Voldemort has found us again."
Professor Dumbledore put a comforting hand on the womans shoulder. "No one shall find out about young Luna. You're secrets are safe with me Sapphire." Dumbledore said as the girl mounted a broom and flew into the sky, Harry following close behind her.
"Where are we going?" He yelled to the woman not realizing he didn't actually exist. The woman continued flying out over the black forest into what Harry believed was an elfin village. She landed quickly and hid her broom walking into one of the houses. A scream errupted from the womans mouth as a man lied motionless... dead on the floor.
Harry was shaken awoke as his two friends looked down at him. "Harry what is it?" Hermione asked with a worried expression."
"I- don't know." Harry said, "But it has something to do with Luna Welkins I think and some one name Sapphire Starlight."
