Chapter three
Harry and Ron were trying on some fancy dress robes when they heard Ginny and Hermione scream. They went running out of Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. The girls were out there looking at the sky.
"What the hell...?" Yelled Ron.
"Why did you scream?" Asked Harry.
Neither Ginny nor Hermione could speak. They only pointed up to the sky. Both boys looked, and had a very nasty shock. In the bright blue sky there was printed a horrible green skull with a snake pointing out of its mouth like a tongue. Harry had seen the Dark Mark before, and knew it meant trouble.
"Um, I think we should look for Mr. Weasley" Put in timidly Hermione.
"Yeah, lets go, quick." Said Harry. "I have to get Hermione, Ron and Ginny to safety. I don't want any more people dying in my place." He thought.
With that, the four friends went running through the now deserted Diagon Alley to the Leaky Cauldron, where they knew their parents would be. All of them arrived panting and with scared looks stumped into their faces. Mr. And Mrs. Weasley were already waiting for them.
"Quick guys, no time to lose, we are going by floo powder directly to the Burrow. Hurry up now. Harry, you go first." Shouted very quickly Arthur Weasley.
"No. You guys go first."
"No way Harry, You-Know-Who is after you, not us!" Said Hermione. Her voice sounded very nervous.
"Look, just go! I'll be right behind you, Ok? Nothing will happen!" Said Harry.
"Ok, Hermione, Ginny and Ron. Go. Now! And Harry, you go after them. I'll go after you. Understood? Now get moving." Mr. Weasley yelled.
Every one did as they were told, and quite soon, all were gathered in the Weasley's kitchen.
"Wow, that was scary!" Said Ron. "Do you think You-Know-Who was actually there, in Diagon Alley?"
"I don't know. And I don't care at the moment, 'cause we're all together and safe" Said Harry.
"I've got an idea. Why don't you kids go and rest, and me and Molly will contact Dumbledore. How about it?"
"Great idea Mr. Weasley" Said Hermione, while she dragged the others to Ron's room.
*~~~*~~~*~~~*
Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny were all sitting on the beds in Ron's room after the excitement of the trip to Diagon Alley. They all sat quietly for a long time, everyone exhausted. The first one to break the silence was Ron:
"What do you think Dumbledore will say about this? I mean... does he think it was really You-Know-Who?"
"I don't know Ron, I really don't..." Answered Hermione "But whoever it was who sent the Dark Mark in to the sky did it for a reason... If it was You- Know-Who, and he was planning on atacking Harry, he wouldn't have wanted us to know!"
"I guess you'r right... but do you think anyone died? Because, the Dark Mark is supposedly to be cast when he killed anyone... but in Diagon Alley? In broad daylight? I don't think so." Put in Ginny.
"Yeah... But, you know what? Let's get some sleep, and we will figure that out afterwards." Said Ron "I'm very tired"
Harry was staying awfully quite. In his head a lot of things were going on. He was thinking about Cedric, and how he had died in Harry's place. He was afraid it would happen again. He was remembering the Dark Lord's rebirth, and his ugly, frightening face...
*~~~*~~~*~~~*
He was in the middle of a field. It was night-time, but there were odd lights floating about. These lights came from a crackling fire on the ground, onto which was put a cauldron, and from torches of flame held by hooded figures that formed a circle around the bubbling potion.
The wind was the only sound heard with the exception of the cracking of wood and the boiling of something blue in the big simmering cauldron. Next to the cauldron there was a small dump figure of a hooded man stirring the contents. The light of the fire reflected on his hand. It was made of silver.
While this man stirred the potion, another tall thin man muttered soundless words. They were brewing an enchanted metal, that would be molded into a golden chain.
The men stopped stirring and whispering. The fuming potion turned slowly into a silvery color, and then quickly to a bright gold.
The liquid stayed still for a long time, and then the enchantment maker said one word very slowly: "firmus". And the potion turned into a delicate golden chain, that the man took out of the bottom of the cauldron. He then let out one long, high pitched laugh...
*~~~*~~~*~~~*
Harry woke with a start. He was all sweaty and hot. He had been having a very strange dream... Voldemort was making a potion... No, a necklace, a golden one. Wormtail had been with him... the death eaters had been there... A thought stuck Harry and he jumped out of bed, careful not to wake Ron. He grabbed some parchment and a quill, and started writing a letter to Sirius. He would know what to do, and he'd tell Dumbledore.
After the letter was finished, he tied it to Hedwig's leg, who had just come back from hunting. He stood up and looked at himself in the mirror. He was only in his sorts, and his bare chest had lots of muscles. He looked deeply into his bright green eyes. "My mothers eyes..." He thought.
At that moment there was a knock on the door, so Harry went to get it. Ginny was standing there.
"Harry, did I wake you?" Said Ginny, blushing at seeing Harry without a shirt.
"No, it's okey, I was already awake. What is it?"
"My mum says dinner's ready, if you want to eat... And Dumbledore is downstairs." Said Ginny. "And don't bother to wake Ron, he gets all grumpy when he is woken after an afternoon nap."
"Okay, I'm going. Just wait a second, I'm going to get a shirt."
They both went downstairs were the table was all set. Dumbledore sat at one end of it. As he saw Harry and Ginny, he smiled at them. He then invited Harry to sit in the chair next to him.
"So, I've heard the Dark Mark was seen in Diagon Alley today." Said Dubledore.
"Yes sir... We saw it, in broad daylight. It was terrifying. Do you think Voldemort was really there? Did anyone die?"
"No Harry, no one died. And yes, I do think Voldemort was there. A house above one of the shops was broken into at the same time. But what I can't understand is why he just didn't break into the house at night-time..." Said Dumbledore.
"And was anything taken from the house?" Asked Harry.
"We don't know yet."
"Oh..."
Mrs. Weasley then put the dishes on the table and everyone started eating. The subject then turned to Percy's wedding, and what to do now with all the Dark Mark stuff...
"Well, I think it would be complicated to set another date... so my suggestion is that we keep it on the same one. Then tomorrow me and Percy will go to Diagon Alley, and we will buy the wedding clothes for everyone, the food, decorations..." Suggested Mrs. Weasley.
"Well, I think that would be fine. What do you say?" Said Mr. Weasley. "I should stay at home to look after everyone?"
"We don't need looking after!" Said Ginny "But I think it will be fine as long as me and Hermione get to tell how we'd like our clothes..."
"Oh, yes. After dinner you tell me exactly how you want them!"
"Mum? Ron doesn't need new dress robes, okay..." Said George.
"Why not? Of course he does!" Said Mrs. Weasley, a bit suspicious.
"It's just... we bought him some..." Said Fred
"You? Well, they are normal, right? I mean, his face won't turn green or anything like that?" Said Mrs. Weasley, now sounding very angry.
"No mum. Don't worry, we wouldn't do that to ickle ronniekins!" Said George.
"Well I want to see these clothes."
"Yes mum..." Said the twins at the same time.
After dinner was over, Harry asked to speak to Dumbledore in private. After Dumbledore said goodbye to the Weasleys, they went outside in the dark yard.
"Well Harry, what is you wanted to tell me?" Asked Dumbledore.
"Well, this afternoon, when we came back from Diagon Alley, we all went to have a nap. And I... I..."
"You had another of those dreams, am I right?"
"Yes, exactly" Said Harry.
"Well then, tell me all that you remember."
And Harry told him. He told him every detail ha could remember, although that wasn't much, because the memory of the dream was now very faded. When he had finished, Dumbledore stayed in silence for a long time, pondering on Harry's dream. After a while, he said:
"Well, I don't have much to say at the moment, but when school term starts, I ask you to go look for me, so we can talk more about this subject. You have informed Snuffles about your dream, I suppose?"
"Yes, sir, I wrote to him just I woke up." Said Harry.
"Good. Well, I guess I'll be seeing you soon. I must be going now."
And with a small pop he was gone.
*~~~*~~~*~~~*
The next morning Harry woke up to find that Ron wasn't in bed. He put his glasses on and looked out of window. He saw the sun very high in the sky. It must be late, he thought. He grabbed his watch from the bedside table and saw that it was eleven o'clock. He had slept a lot. So he put on his clothes and went downstairs. Everybody was awake.
"Good morning Harry" Said Hermione, looking up from "The Standard Book of Spells Grade 5".
Harry sat down on the kitchen table were Ron and Ginny where playing wizard chess.
"Good morning Ginny, Ron." Said Harry.
"'Morning mate. Or is it afternoon yet?" Joked Ron.
"Good morning... Slept well?" Asked Ginny.
"Sure." Said Harry "Where are Mr. And Mrs. Weasley?"
"Oh, dad's in the shed, don't know what he's doing... and mum went out shopping with Percy." Said Ginny.
After Harry had breakfast he and Ron went outside to practice Quidditch. It was around one o'clock when Mrs. Weasley and Percy came through the kitchen fireplace loaded with packages.
"Hi dears, had a nice morning?" Said Molly Weasley.
"Hello Mrs. Weasley. We were having a very nice time, thank you." Said Hermione.
"Hi Molly" Said Mr. Weasley, coming in and giving his wife a small peck on the mouth.
"Girls, lets go upstairs so that you can try on your dresses."Said Mrs. Weasley, blushing from her husband's demonstration of care in front of everybody.
The three women went upstairs to Ginny's room where Hermione was also staying. The room was small with light pink wall-paper. Clothes and books where spread all over the room. In the left corner stood an old wooden shelf, wuth all sorts of things piled onto it. Normal things like books and cuddly toys, to odd things like potion pots and bits of something floating in a fish tank with dark green water, stood on it. At the end of one of the beds stood a cauldron with some slimy yellow things.
Molly Weasley then opened one of the bags she had taken with her and pulled out two fine party dress robes.
*~~~*~~~*~~~*
Outdoors, Harry and Ron where landing on the Weasley lawn with their faces red and their hair stuck to their forehead with sweat. They got of their brooms smiling and panting.
"Wow, that was fun. Lets go inside and get a cup of water?" Panted Ron.
"Yeah, sure, I'm tired!" Said Harry.
They went in the kitchen and got a big glass of water for each. After gulping it all down in one breath they went to Ron's room. They both collapsed on the beds, happiness printed into their faces.
After a while, when they had regained their breathes, Harry bought up a subject that they had not talked about for some time. Girls.
"Ron, you know you said you liked Hermione?"
"Yes... so?" Said Ron
"Well... I was thinking... Are you going to do anything about it?"
"I don't know... I mean, I would like to, but |I don't think I have the guts."
"Would you like me to help you?" Asked Harry "I could ask Hermione if she likes you, even though I am nearly one hundred per cent sure she does."
"You really think she likes me...?" Said Ron "I thought she liked Krum..."
"Oh, is that why you where all strange about anything concerning him last year?" Harry laughed, but turned it hastily into a cough when he saw Ron's look. "But don't worry Ron, she doesn't like Krum like she likes you."
"I'm not sure... but anything to help me, if you can. I would like to be with Hermione... I would love it..."
"Don't worry mate, I'll help you... with one condition..."
