CHAPTER 12: Seeing White
In a battlefield far away...a young boy with a scar grew beautiful white wings and was clutching a sorcerer's stone. He was talking with somebody among the ruined place of battle. The boy was silently shedding tears....
I liked everything about you...
They said I was worthy of living...
So right now, I apologize
For not being strong enough to live without you
But in the end we will all be together anyway
I'm sure of it.
I love you.
I'll be waiting for you....
The boy smiled at the other person as his wings opened up and beautiful white energy poured out of the stone. The Legendary protection spell....
The world turned to white....
Severus Snape snapped awake from his early sleep. He checked his mark...no it wasn't reacting. Snape went to his bathroom and was washing his face off with cold water. Why the hell would Harry do something like that? Although Severus wasn't a seer; as a wizard he knew he could get a premonition in a dream. It was if he was talking to him directly. It was very disturbing, seeing Harry freely give up his life for something...no someone. Severus looked at his pocket watch. Albus would be taking care of ministry business right now so he couldn't be owled about this.
Damn it! Severus thought bitterly. The best people to talk about this with were the people he hated the most. Harry's guardians. If this was a genuine premonition (he felt it was) then as his duty as Harry's teacher (among other debts) required him to ensure Harry's safety. He silently looked at the fireplace.
He hated his life. He really did.
Meanwhile back at Marauders Hold (a.k.a. Privet Drive) Harry and Hermione were looking at the clock. About a half hour to go before all hell breaks loose with the werewolf hunters. Remus and Sirius had their wands at the ready. They were all sitting on the couch.
"Staring at clocks doesn't make them go faster." Remus chided them lightly.
"We tried it." Sirius said quietly. Harry read a magazine and Hermione read a book. A few minutes later the fireplace lit and started to crackle!
"Shit, they're here!" Sirius growled.
"No wait! They didn't come in the firepl..." before Harry could finish Remus, Hermione and Sirius all pointed their wands at the fire and Severus found himself at wandpoint...point blank range.
"It must be a Gryffindor thing." Severus deadpanned.
"Damn it, you greasy git! We could have blown your balls clean off!" Sirius snorted.
"Well that's not unusual behavior for you Black, but I have very grave business to discuss with you and Lupin."
"Well it'll have to wait; we're in a crisis situation."
"Ah, so you had the premonition too, I see."
"Well it was more like a vision."
"It was quite unsettling."
"Why would you see Remus getting shot, though?"
"Alright, so we're obliviously not talking about the same thing." Snape sighed disdainfully
"So what did your pea-sized brain see?" Sirius asked impatiently.
"At least I have a brain! You're lucky you're not some zombie feasting upon people." Snape hissed.
"You look like the living dead..." Sirius began.
"Priorities, please!!" Remus shouted. Sirius fell quiet. Soon the front door burst open! A vial of potion started to land on the floor.
"Windgardium Leviosa!" Hermione shouted. Soon the vial flew into the ceiling instead of the floor where they were standing. It blew some of the plaster off the ceiling. The hunters arrived early. Two men entered and both had a very cold expression. Actually the second man who dressed like a cowboy seemed to be about Harry age! The shotgun was pulled out.
"Expelliarmus!" Harry shouted as pointed his wand and the magic made the shotgun fly out of the older hunters hand and flew into Harry's arms but...
"Mobiliarbus!" Said the younger hunter as he waved his hand (no visible wand!) and soon the couch started to crash into Sirius and Severus! Soon the older hunter brandished a silver knife and threw it with startling speed!
"Consisto!" Remus shouted and the magic made the knife halt in mid-air!
"Accio!" the younger boy shouted as the knife flew to his hand. "This is harder than Pettigrew said it would be. We better leave!" Soon the two were almost ready to depart when...
"Illaqueo!" Harry shouted and a blue chain of light shot from the wand and entangled the two hunters. Everyone was surprised that Harry learned a new spell! It seemed to have properties that the body bind didn't and it kept people awake instead of stupefying them. Soon Dumbledore and McGongall arrived on the scene through the fireplace and just now Sirius and Severus were getting untangled from the couch fiasco.
"Good job, Harry. Thank you for defending me." Remus said he ruffled Harry head of hair. The hunters were being led to Hogwarts by floo powder for interrogation. Severus got up and dusted himself off.
"No problem...I will always protect my family with my life and blood!" Harry said proudly.
"Just like a Gryffindor!" Dumbledore said proudly.
"I'll be waiting for you" Severus remembered his dream.
He felt like throwing up.
