Chapter 6: Dreams and the Order
Harry's sleep was disturbed by dreams of Cedric's death, the death of the Dursley's by the hand of Voldemort, and then the final showdown between Harry and the Dark Lord.
Harry hadn't known he was that powerful.
Voldemort had attacked Hogwarts. Professor Dumbledore and the rest of the teachers, along with almost all of the 5th, 6th and 7th year students fought off the Death Eaters until the Aurors had arrived.
A pretty impressive feat in itself, considering they were severely out numbered 4 to 1. But they had done it.
The final battle between Voldemort and Harry was the most brutal battle anyone had ever been witness to.
Voldemort had flung the dead, mutilated bodies of the Dursleys at Harry's feet.
"You see this, boy?" Voldemort hissed. "This is what will happen to you if you do not join my ranks."
"I will never join you. I'd rather die." Harry spat, raising his wand.
"Very well, death it shall be." Voldemort snapped.
The battle raged for what seemed like hours.
Both of the combatants were tiring. For a moment it looked to everyone watching, that Voldemort was going to win. Harry was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed. Voldemort was saying something that only Harry could hear.
"do you give up, boy?" Voldemort hissed, looking down at the figure kneeling in front of him.
"NO." Harry whispered. "I will never give up."
At these words, Harry felt a strange sensation spreading throughout his body. It felt like every muscle in his body was expanding. A warm glowing light surrounded him, giving him strength. Harry stood up and looked at Voldemort.
"I will never cower before you." He said in a voice dripping with power.
Voldemort took a few steps back with a look of terror on his skeletal face. Everyone on the battlefield heard him exclaim,
"No. it cannot be."
Before Harry raised his arms toward the sky, palms up.
A great glowing ball formed in his hands. Harry hurled the ball towards Voldemort with blinding speed. The ball of light hit Voldemort in the chest and inveloped him. The light blazing 10 times brighter than the sun before disappearing.
When everyone looked back toward Harry and Voldemort, they saw the dark lord fall to his knees before Harry before keeling over lifelessly at his feet.
Harry slowly turned to walk back to the castle. Back to his life, his friends, and his family. The Weasleys. The tears began to flow freely down his face as he saw all the people he loved come running toward him.
Harry staggered and tried to remain standing, but found that all of his strength was gone. Harry fell to his knees as the group reached him.
"Harry, are you okay?" He heard Sirius say before he passed out.
Harry slowly opened his eyes.
"Where...where am I?" He whispered, trying to get up. He felt soft warm hands on his arms pushing him back down onto the bed. "My glasses?" He asked, as he let himself be laid back on the soft bed. "Can you hand me my glasses, please?"
When Harry had his glasses on he looked up at the worried looking Medi-Witch.
"Well, it's good to see that you're awake, Mr. Potter." She said with a warm smile. "You had us worried there for a while."
"Why am I here, Madam?" He asked as the Medi-Witch handed him a vial with a green colored potion in it.
"You are in the infirmary." She replied. "Now, drink that potion. It will help kill the pain as well as heal your wounds."
"M-my wounds?" Harry asked, looking under the blankets that were spread over him.
His body was covered in bandages. He didn't think that any part of him wasn't bandaged. Harry drank the potion and handed the vial back to Madam Pomfrey, before dozing off again.
It was sometime later before Harry opened his eyes with a groan.
"Harry, mate, how do you feel?" Ron asked, coming over to the side of the bed.
"Fine, I suppose." Harry replied, before two thin arms wound themselves around his neck.
"Oh Harry, we were so frightened." Ginny sniffed, saying her head on Harry's shoulder and starting to cry.
Harry felt the back of his eyes burning, and blinked back the tears that were trying to spill from his eyes. He did not say anything. Just held the red headed girl in his arms and let her cry.
Hermione took his free hand in hers.
"Harry, were were so scared you wouldn't make it this time." She said as tears rolled down her own cheeks.
Harry looked at Ron, but had to turn his head, for Ron was letting the tears flow freely as well.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Harry awoke with a start.
*Merlin.* He thought. *It seemed so real. Even the pain of my friends at the thought of loosing me. I could feel what they were going through.*
{You could feel thier pain.} A voice said inside his head.
"Who's there?" Harry exclaimed aloud, sitting up in his bed.
[Listen to your mind, Harry.] Another voice said.
*If I listen to my head, I might end up at St. Mungo's for the insane.*
~Harry.~ Came a woman's voice. ~Just listen for a moment and everything will be revealed.~
*Oookay.* He thought, looking around the room.
{We are the order of the four.}The first voice said. {The four founders of Hogwarts. And we chose you to recieve our gift.}
*What gift?* Harry asked.
~The gift of our power and our knowledge.~ Said the voice of the woman.
*Your power and knowledge? But, I don't understand.* Harry replied.
/You will, in time./ Another woman's voice said.
[Whatever powers we have, you now possess.] Said the second voice.
/You are now the most powerful wizard alive./ Came the second woman's voice. /Even more powerful than Merlin himself./
*MORE POWERFUL THAN MERLING!* Harry screamed in his mind. *How in the bloody hell can that be possible?*
All will be revealed in time. All the voices said together, before all settled into silence once more.
"I must be loosing my sodding mind." Harry murmured to himself while getting out of bed.
Harry went downstairs to get a drink of water and then headed to the living room. Harry sat down in one of the arm chairs in front of the fireplace.
*I wish I had brought my wand.* Harry thought idly. *So I could make the fire bigger.*
The flames in the fireplace grew, giving off a comfortable heat.
"Shit." Harry said, dropping his glass of water and leaping to his feet. "What the bloody hell..."
"Harry?" Ginny said, rubbing her eyes. "How did you..."
"I don't know." Harry said, sitting back down in the chair he had just jumped out of.
"Well, you sure didn't use your wand, that's for certain." Ginny replied, now wide awake.
Harry looked at the clock on the wall. It read 5:30.
"Hey Gin, want to go jogging with me this morning?" Harry asked.
"Since when did you start jogging?" Ginny replied, raising an eyebrow at Harry. "I'm usually up at this hour, and I never knew you to go jogging."
"No." Harry said, laughing at her. "I just have this extra energy today. And besides, we can talk about your parent's surprise party."
"Oh, alright. Let me go change." She said, smiling at Harry.
"Great, meet you outside then." Harry said, taking her into his arms and kissing her nose.
Harry and Ginny jogged to the village and back. By the time they got back home, everyone was already up and eating cold cereal for breakfast.
Well, everyone but Ron, who was eating dry dog food with milk.
When Harry saw waht Ron was eating, he started laughing.
"What's so funny, Harry?" Ron asked, looking a little annoyed at being laughed at so early in the morning.
"You're eating dog food." Harry stated, trying to stop laughing.
What?!" Ron exclaimed, looking at Fred and George, who were looking at the floor and laughing quietly.
Sirius just looked at the ceiling, smiling.
And Ginny was rolling on the floor in hysterical laughter.
"B-b-but Fred and George said it was cereal, what Muggles call Captain Crunch." Ron replied before reality set in. "I'm gonna kill both of you." Ron sputtered, pushing the bowl away and getting up from the table.
Fred and George bolted from the kitchen out the front door with Ron right on their heels.
"Where's Hermione?" Ginny asked, after composing herself. She sat in the chair Fred had just vacated.
"Upstairs checking on Malfoy." Sirius said, getting up from the table.
"Well, I think I'll go take a shower then." And with that, Harry bounded up the stairs.
