"Eric?" I called once I entered our apartment.
"Eric, are you home?" I yelled.
"Guess not," I muttered.
This place is a mess.
I sat down on the sofa and sighed.
This has been the strangest day ever.
Who is Brenda?
I had a million questions roaming my mind, but I soon drifted off into a deep slumber.
~*~ Dream-End of Gabbys' POV ~*~
Ginny was walking in woods with another guy.
"I don't think we should really be here, Warner. I highly doubt he is here! I think we should find the others! We weren't supposed to split up," Ginny said.
"Cool it, Gin. I'm sure he's here. We just-"
"What are we going to do if he is here, huh? Just cast the killing curse? How do we know it'll work on him, Warner!? I'm telling you, something is wrong. Let's just go back to the others, please!" Ginny pleaded.
"What's up with you, Ginny? You used to be brave, and now you're some chicken!" Warner said, knowing it would agitate her enough to get her to stop begging to go back.
"I am NOT a chicken, ok!? I'm just following orders because I, unlike you, don't want to lose my Auror license!" Ginny shouted.
"I don't want to lose my license, Gin. I just want to stop all the killings in this world." Warner said.
"A little too late for that," said an icy voice. Ginny and Warner turned around and saw a man who had no nose, but two slits like a snake. His red eyes were gleaming with malice and he was whiter than a skull.
"Voldemort," Warner whispered.
~*~ End of dream ~*~
Gabby woke up sweating and gasping for breath.
"What was that?" She murmured to herself.
* * * *
"Carley!" exclaimed Eric.
"Eric, what are you doing here?" she hissed.
"Did you just kill somebody!?" He whispered harshly.
"That is none of your business." Carley said briskly and walked off.
He grabbed her forearm and forced her to look at him.
"I don't fancy Azkaban, so don't expect me to go there when one day you're caught!" He said and walked away.
* * * *
Gabby was walking down a dark alley to get back to the coffeehouse she worked at.
She left her paycheck there.
She heard walked behind her and she turned around.
"Who's there?" She asked loudly.
"Eric, I swear to God if that's you I'm gonna kill you!" She said, panicking.
It wasn't Eric though.
It was Harry.
"Hey, weren't you at the coffeehouse?" She asked.
"Erm, yea. Sorry if I scared you." He said.
"It's okay. I guess I'm just a little panicky. I've been that way since I can remember..." she trailed off.
"So what are you doing in a alley like this, in the middle of the night?" he asked.
"I could ask you the same question. I'm getting my paycheck from work. You?" she replied.
"Heading off to Kings' Cross." He said.
"I doubt any trains will be leaving at this time." She said.
"Well, luckily, the train I'm on is heading out, so I gotta go." He said.
"Right. Well uhh...see ya." She said and walked away.
'I swear I have met him before!' she thought.
* * * *
Harry met up with Eric, Cho, Hermione, Ron and Dumbledore in platform nine and three quarters.
"You're late," said Cho.
"I know. I bumped into that worker from the coffeehouse. Ok, let's go." Harry said.
Hermione and Ron got a compartment to themselves while Cho and Harry sat with Dumbledore.
"Why exactly are we investigating after all these years?" Cho drawled.
"Cho, please don't drawl. You sound like Malfoy." Harry said.
She rolled her eyes.
"OK then. Why exactly are we investigating after all these years?" she asked in a sugary voice.
"Now you sound like Umbridge." Harry smirked.
"Please, don't bicker. We are investigating now because all the barriers guarding the forest have been removed, Mrs. Potter." Dumbledore said.
She sighed and nodded.

Eric sat alone trying to get a hold of Gabby on the phone.
He wanted to get to her before he got to close to Hogwarts, where electricity or cell-phones would work.
"Hello?" Gabby answered.
"Gabs, I won't be home all week. Can you manage going a week without seeing my handsome face?" He teased.
"I think I can. No, actually, I KNOW I can." She said.
He pouted.
"I know you're probably pouting right now." She said.
He laughed and so did she.
"Goodnight, Gabs." He said.
"Night. See ya." And she hung up.
He sighed.

"Yes, master?" Mac Murray stepped forward.
"Ah, Murray. I have a special task for you..." Voldemort hissed.
Mac smirked.
"What is it?" Mac asked.
"I want you to...."
* * * *
"Um...Albus, what is this?" Cho asked, holding up what seemed to be a torn jacket.
Harry snatched it.
"I gave this to Ginny on our one year anniversary." Harry said.
"I'm surprised it didn't get washed away." Hermione said.
"Mrs. Weasley, you have read Hogwarts: A history, how many times?" Albus asked.
"A lot." She said.
"Didn't you read chapter 48? It clearly states that nothing gets washed away in the forbidden forest." He said.
She muttered, "oh" and looked for more hints on what happened the night Ginny was killed.
Eric's phone rang.
"You enchanted your phone, didn't you?" Cho asked.
He nodded guiltily.
"Hello?" He asked.
"Eric..." came Gabbys' shaky voice.
"Gabby? What's wrong? Are you ok?" He asked, fully concerned.
Everyone raised their eyebrows.
"Eric, its Carley. I'm at the hospital. I'm fine, but she isn't. I found her in her car which was in a ditch, upside down." Gabby said.
"Is she ok?" He asked.
"I don't know. She's in surgery right now. The only thing I know is that she was barely breathing when I found her." She said.
"Hold on," he said.
He pressed the mute button so Gabby wouldn't hear.
"My sister is in the hospital. She was in a car crash." Eric said.
"Go to her," Ron said.
"No," Eric said and pressed mute again and said to Gabby, "Look after her, will you? I know you hate her and she hates you too, so the feeling is mutual between you two. I can't come back home until next week." He said.
Gabby sighed.
"Fine," she said. It was clear that she was NOT happy about this.
"You're the best, Gabz!" he said.
"Whatever. I'll call you when I get more news." She said.
"Bye," he said and hung up.
"I don't see how looking here is going to help us," said Cho.
"You may never know what you will find," said Dumbledore.
Cho looked at Harry and rolled her eyes.
"You don't mind doing this, do you?" Harry muttered only loud enough for her.
"I don't know. I mean, I guess I'm scared your feelings for her might come back." She lied.
"Look, Ginny was the first girl I loved. I won't ever forget her. But I'm married to you now. Don't worry about that," he said.
She nodded.
The real reason she wasn't happy about this was because she wanted to be back home and see Draco Malfoy.
"Oh my gosh! Harry look!" Hermione said, holding up a ring.
"Her promise ring that I gave her," said Harry.
"I thought they are destroyed when one dies?" Hermione said.
"Dunno. Maybe it got messed up or something," said Harry.
"Maybe...." Hermione muttered.
* * * * *
"Miss. Watts, you may visit Miss. Carter. She just woke," said the nurse.
Gabby mentally kicked herself.
WHY DID I AGREE TO THIS!? Thought Gabby.
She turned the door handle and readied herself for a living hell.
She walked in and gasped.
