~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 3: Surprise surprise!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry and Cho waited to see if the bushes would move again. Cho, who was looking around nervously asked "Do you think someone saw us?" Harry pulled his wand out of his robe pocket. "I don't know, but we're about to find out." Harry pointed his wand at the bush and shouted "Revealo!" The bushes soared ten feet into the air revealing no one other than Draco Malfoy. "Malfoy!" Cho managed to stammer. Malfoy looked rather surprised but smoothed it all over. "What's it to you?" he said flatly. Cho stepped up to Malfoy, towering him. "Isn't this just peachy." Malfoy said. "Y'know, to find two of Hogwarts's best students out here alone." Malfoy tsk tsked them. "You should be more careful." "You might get yourselves into some trouble someday." And with that he turned and walked back to the castle.
"Well, that was pleasant enough. Don't you think Harry?" Harry shrugged. "We better get back." They both started to walk back to the castle. "Harry! You forgot the bushes!" And sure enough, they were still floating aimlessly ten feet in the air. Harry, not even bothering to turn around, pointed his wand behind his head. "Unrevealo!" The bushes fell to the ground with a loud thunk, right in the middle of the lake, about six hundred feet from where they first were.
The next day was going to be terrible, Harry thought to himself as he and Cho walked back to the Great Hall. Ron, Hermione and I have Double Potions with the Slytherins! Harry said good bye to Cho and walked up to the Gryffindor common room. "Flilly Wither Bottoms" Harry said to the picture of the Fat Lady. She smiled and opened the passageway to the common room. A minute didn't pass before every guy in the Gryffindor common room surrounded Harry. "Harry!" "Harry!" They shouted. Harry groaned. Harry seen Fred, George and Ron waving to him from behind the crowd of people. He quickly made his way to them. "What happened Harry?!?" George screamed over the roar of conversation and questions. "What?" George grabbed Harry by the shoulders and shoved him into the empty boys dormitory, Fred and Ron at their heels. "So tell us what happened Harry!" Fred said excitedly. Blushing, Harry said "Nothing." "You have got to be kidding me!" "C'mon Harry. Tell us what really happened." George pleaded. Harry smiled. "That's for me to know and you to find out. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to get some sleep."
Harry didn't get much, if any sleep. He dreamed almost all night long. He dreamed about Lord Voldemort coming and trying to take Cho away from him. Harry fought Lord Voldemort in his dream and could feel his powers growing, making Harry weak and vulnerable. Harry shot straight up. The pain in his scar was unbearable. Harry's scar had hurt several times before……but only when Lord Voldemort was near him or feeling very hateful towards Harry.
Grabbing his glasses from the nightstand, Harry jumped out of bed, making his way to the trunk that he kept all of his possessions in. The floor felt cold under Harry's bare feet. Sitting down at the head of his bed, Harry opened the trunk. Inside it he kept his school books, extra parchment, quills, ink bottles, his wand, the Marauder's map that showed the location of everyone on the Hogwarts campus, his most prized possession the Firebolt, his Nimbus broomstick cleaning kit that Hermione got him for Christmas years ago, robes, and all of the handmade sweaters Mrs. Weasley has been making him since his first year at Hogwarts. Harry grabbed some parchment, a quill and an inkbottle, and then sat down on his bed to write to Sirius. Harry wrote:
Dear Sirius,
You told me to write to you if anything strange happened. I had a dream about Lord Voldemort. He came to Hogwarts and tried to take Cho from me! You do remember Cho don't you? I guess you could say that we're a couple now. I fought Lord Voldemort in my dream, and I woke up with this excruciating pain on my scar. Everything seems to be normal except for my scar hurting. You don't think that Lord Voldemort is alive do you? Should I tell Dumbledore? Do you need any food?
Harry
Harry rolled up the parchment and looked out the window beside Seamus's bed. Is Voldemort really back? Is he out to try and kill me again? Thoughts like those ran through Harry's mind as he opened the window and called Hedwig, his post owl. Hedwig appeared seconds after Harry called her. "Hey girl." Harry whispered softly. She bit his earlobe softly; it was a sign of affection to Harry. Harry tied the letter to Hedwig's leg. As she flew away, Harry closed the window and climbed miserably back into bed, knowing that he had only a few hours left of sleep.
