Dreams
He was walking down a bright and cheery hall. People dressed in rainbow hospital scrubs kept passing him hurriedly. No one seemed to find it odd that a fourteen year old boy was walking in the hospital wearing his pajamas. They didn't even seem to notice him at all.
I must be dreaming, Harry thought.
When a man engulfed in flames walked by looking thoroughly bored Harry tried to take a second look. He found he couldn't. He had no control over his own body. His body took him to a door marked 13 and a pale long fingered hand reached for the handle. That hand looks familiar, Harry thought. Voldemort! I am dreaming.
The fresh scent of magnolias welcomed him into the room. The flowers filled the room. Every available space was covered in vases of them. In the center of the room was a large bed. A beautiful woman was sleeping. As they neared her Harry noticed she had skin pale as moonlight, and her long golden curls covered the pillow under her like a halo. She looks like an angel. Harry felt Voldemort pull his wand out of its holster and saw him point it at the woman.
"No!" Harry screamed. "Don't!" His words echoed in his head unheard by anyone other than himself. Just then he heard voices outside of the door. Voldemort stiffened. "The room always seems brighter after you visit Mrs. Malfoy. I think she knows when you are there. We were very pleased when Mr. Snape brought her here this summer. With our experts dealing with her now she will be up in no time. I don't understand why he didn't bring her to us sooner." An unfamiliar male voice said.
"Thank you doctor. That will be all." A female voice said curtly.
"Oh, of course Mrs. Malfoy." The male voice said.
"Caecus" Voldemort muttered.
Harry watched in amazement as Voldemorts hands disappeared. Malfoys mother entered the room. She looked different. Her face was softer. She looked tired. Mrs. Malfoy removed a vase of flowers from the chair beside the bed and set them on the floor. She took the sleeping woman's hand and sighed.
"Selena, I wish you would wake up. He's come back Selena. Lucius and Severus are arguing again. Only you could ever control those two. Poor Draco is torn between them. On hand he wants to be loyal to his father and on the other hand he wants to be loyal to his uncle and head of his house. I have never seen him so upset."
Mrs. Malfoy smiled. "You should see him he looks exactly like your brother did when he was that age. He is so handsome, and among the top of his class."
She frowned again, "Lucius is threatening to send him to Durmstrum again. Selena, you selfish bitch, wake up! Wake up!" she cried.
She laid her head down on the bed and wept convulsively. When she raised her head again her eyes were blood shot and her face tear stained.
"Please, Selena.", she begged. "Please. I know you could talk some sense into them." She wiped the tears from her face. "I know you were devastated when you lost your baby girl, but Severus needs you. Lucius needs you."
She sobbed, "I need you."
She let go of her hand and picked up a bag, Harry hadn't noticed, from the floor. She pulled out a brush and began brushing the woman's' hair. She painted her nails and applied some sort of lip color to her as well. After a while she packed up the bag and left quietly.
"Manifestus" Voldemort muttered and he reappeared.
He raised his wand again and pointed it at her. "Exitare", he muttered.
A golden light engulfed her and Harry saw her eye lids flutter.
*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** Harry sat up in his bed screaming. He could hear Lee-Lee screaming in the next room. Sirius and Remus both jumped out of their beds.
Remus muttered, "Lumos". His eyes were wide and his wand was drawn. Sirius looked ready to kill. Remus softened when he realized no one else was in the room.
"Did you have a bad dream Harry?" He asked.
"Snape." Harry muttered, "I have to talk to Snape." He jumped out of bed and rushed into the hall. Snape and Mrs. Figg were in the hall, their wands at the ready. Alex came into the hall carrying Lee-Lee. She was crying.
"Professor, she is awake. Voldemort, he woke her." Harry said hurriedly.
Snape raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Who is awake Potter?"
"Your wife." Harry said impatiently.
Before Harry could further explain Snape had him pinned against the wall. "How dare you! How dare you!" he snarled.
Out of the corner of his eye Harry saw Sirius attack Snape. They toppled to the ground. They both dropped their wand and began hitting one another. Sirius had the advantage. He was on top of Snape. He had Snapes hair in his fists and was slamming his head into he carpeted floor.
"Don't you ever touch him again you bastard!", Sirius screamed.
Snape punched Sirius in the kidney and Sirius lost his breath. Snape took advantage of his momentary weakness and flipped Sirius onto the floor. He began pummeling Sirius in the face.
"Enough!" Mrs. Figg yelled. "All of you in the living room, now!"
The two men stopped attacking one another abruptly and stood up. Mrs. Figg glared at them. She pointed in the direction of the living room.
"Living room!" She repeated when they continued to glare at one another.
They cowed and moved toward the living room. Sirius placed a protective arm around Harry's shoulders. When they had settled into he living room Mrs. Figg took Lee-Lee from Alex's arms and sat in the arm chair nearest the fireplace.
"What were you two thinking? You were behaving like children.", she said venomously. She began rubbing Lee-Lees back comfortingly. "And you've managed to upset this poor child.", she added softly. She turned to Harry. "Explain, Harry.", she said in a business like tone.
Harry nodded and looked at Snape wearily. "I was dreaming. I was inside of Voldemorts head. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true."
"Go on Harry." Remus said placing a comforting hand on Harry's shoulder.
"We were in a hospital and we went into room 13. There was a woman with long blonde hair sleeping in a bed. The room was full of flowers. Malfoys mum showed up. Voldemort became invisible. Malfoys mum was begging her, Selena, to wake up. She combed her hair and left. Voldemort made himself reappear and he muttered some spell. She was covered in this bright golden light, her eyes fluttered. Then I woke up." Harry said.
"Sees awake Sevis. I toad you.", Lee-Lee cried from Mrs. Figgs lap.
Snapes knuckles were turning white he was gripping the arm chairs so hard. Harry could tell he was fighting an explosion of his temper.
"How dare you put these thoughts into her head!" Snape snapped fiercely.
"It's twue!" Lee-Lee yelled hopping down from Mrs. Figgs lap. She ran over to Snape and climbed onto his lap. "I saw. It's twue." She sniffled and looked up into his eyes pleading. "Please, don't be mad. It's twue." She sobbed burying her face into his chest. Her little arms clung to his nightshirt. He smoothed her hair, and kissed the top of her head.
"I believe you.", he whispered.
Lee-Lee looked up at him. "Pwomise?"
"Promise." Snape said softly.
"K", she said jumping from his lap. "Let's go get her."
She walked over to the door and stood on her tiptoes reaching for the handle. Mrs. Figgs voice caused her to jump and turn around.
"Where do you think you are going munchkin?"
Lee-Lee gaped at her grandmother and put her hands on her hips. "To save Sawena!" she said.
Mrs. Figg laughed and scooped her up. "Why don't you leave that to the big girls. You need to stay here and make sure those to behave."
"Humph! I wanna go too!" Lee-Lee said.
Snape stood up and headed for the door himself.
Mrs. Figg shook her head and handed Lee-Lee to him. "No, Severus you are staying here. Alex and I will deal with this."
Snape looked like he was ready to kill. "Like bloody hell I am! Selena is my wife!"
"Severus, she has been asleep for fourteen years. Seeing you this upset would be a shock to her." Alex said softly. "Stay here. Mother and I will take care of her. I promise." Snape nodded, "of course."
Mrs. Figg grabbed two coats from the closet. "Remus, I need you to floo Albus and tell him what has happened."
"Of course.", Remus said standing up.
"And keep an eye on these two for me.", she added motioning to Snape and Sirius.
Alex put on her coat. "Be sure she doesn't con you into giving her sweets this early in the morning." She said warningly.
"Aw, mum!" Lee-Lee whined.
Alex stuck her tongue out at Lee-Lee and disappeared with a soft pop.
Mrs. Figg winked, "Not too many sweets, anyway.", and disappeared silently.
"Yes!" Lee-Lee squealed delightfully in Snapes arms.
"Lets do something about breakfast shall we?", Remus said walking into the kitchen. Harry's scar began to burn and he fell to the ground.

He was back in the hospital wing. Selena was sitting up in her bed. "Master? Where am I?", she asked.
"St. Mungos, my dear." He answered in mock concern.
"Why? What has happened.", she said looking confused.
"I know you and Severus have betrayed me, Selena." Voldemort said venomously.
Selena looked down at her stomach. "Where is my baby!", she screamed.
"I have her and if you ever want to see her again you will do as I say!" Voldemort said.
"No-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o" Selenas cry echoed in Harry's head.
He woke and looked around at the concerned faces.
"She's alive. Voldemort has her!" He cried.
"Has who Harry?", Sirius asked.
"The baby." Harry said, before passing out.
