Chapter 3

Caroline, Hermione, Harry, Ron and the rest of the Weasleys gathered around the fireplace in their robes and watched as Ginny grabbed floo powder and yelled promptly:

"Diagon Alley"

Ginny dissolved in a swirl of green flames, flames that Caroline had come to hate because they made her feel nauseous. The rest of the group followed suite.

Upon arrival in Diagon Alley, Caroline, Harry, Ron, and Hermione left the rest of the group and wandered off towards Flourish and Blotts.

Ron held Hermione's hand and Caroline and Harry walked awkwardly next to each other as they followed Ron and Hermione.

"Have you heard from Robert yet?" said Harry to Caroline in an undertone as to avoid bothering the "love birds" who were walking in front of them.

"No. It's starting to worry me. I have a feeling I should go and try to find him" replied Caroline although she knew what she would find if she arrived at Robert's house.

"Your feeling.. it has to do with the vision you had the other night?" said Harry knowingly.

"Yes" she replied simply. Harry stared at Caroline's pale face. She hadn't looked very healthy lately. Her face was white and drawn and her overall mannerisms had gone.

Caroline stared straight ahead until Harry pulled her off to a corner, away from Hermione and Ron who did not seem to notice anything around them at the moment.

Harry pulled Caroline into the Leaky Cauldron where he sat her down at a wooden table.

"Caroline" said Harry gently as he stared into her eyes, "Tell me what you saw in the vision. I won't tell anyone, but please, let me know what is going on"

Caroline did not say anything

"I want to understand. I've never experienced any powers or met people who have powers like yours. It is a gift as well as a burden and I feel that as your boyfriend you should tell me these things so I can help you, Caroline" finished Harry as he stared sincerely into her eyes.

Caroline's face lighted up.

"You said that you were my boyfriend" she said in a teasing voice.

"Err. .Well, that's not what I meant. I meant that I am a boy who is your friend" replied Harry blushing furiously.

"Yeah, sure." she said returning to her sullen mood.

"Please, Caroline" said Harry in a pleading tone.

Caroline looked at Harry and sat in silence for a while.

"You promise not to tell anyone?" she said hesitantly in a whisper.

"Absolutely" said Harry as he sat down in a chair across from Caroline and took her hand

Caroline began the story slowly:

"When I went to the kitchen, I poured my milk and was going to conjure a cookie.. sorry, biscuit. when I felt a cold breeze, like the one that had woken me up in Ginny's room. I turned and I saw that the window had been left open, so I went to close it. As soon as I touched the window I was absorbed into one of my premonitions.

I saw Meara.. she was cloaked in black and she was walking through the Burrow. She was touching everything and.. she had company.. people in black cloaks with masks on their faces. She looked like she was looking for something.. or someone." Caroline stopped to catch her breath. Harry continued to look at her with patience, but Caroline knew what he was thinking.

"Then she said my name and she said that she knew something I didn't, but then my vision changed from the Burrow to some dark room. Robert was in it and he was sincerely hurt, his arm was in a sling and he had a black eye. Meara was going to use him to get to me and you. Then I saw Lord Voldemort and Meara standing over the two of us pointing their wands. and that's where it ended, when you touched me."

Harry stared at Caroline, his face contorted in anger. He reached over to her and touched her shoulder. Caroline looked away as tears began to form in her eyes.

"Let's go get ice cream" said Harry uncomfortably at the sight of her tears.

Harry and Caroline left the Leaky Cauldron hurriedly. ******** ********** ************** ************* ***************** *******

Meara sat cloaked in a large black shawl, her face hidden from view, in the Leaky Cauldron.

"Caroline is stupid, my pet" said Meara as she stroked a leather bound book that had a large blinking eye on the cover.

Meara had heard everything that Caroline had just told Harry as she was sitting incredibly close to their table.

"What an idiot, telling Harry everything. He can't do anything to save you, Caroline" said Meara to the book.

Meara snapped her fingers and in a quick instant she was in the dark alleyway behind the Leaky Cauldron.

"Accio Transperansio!" said Meara in a whisper as she disappeared into what seemed like thin air. Meara was actually invisible and was able to follow Caroline and Harry towards the ice cream parlor.

Caroline and Harry were seated, sharing a vanilla ice cream and a bottle of Perrier and talking about Caroline's vision.

Meara drew her wand from her cloaks and muttered "Firenze!" as she pointed her wand at Harry.

A large flame suddenly appeared on Harry's cloak and began to spread across his chest area quickly. Caroline screamed in horror and tried to put it out with her wand.

"Accio aqua! Accio aqua! Accio aqua!" shouted Caroline furiously pointing her wand at Harry's cloak. The fire would not go away.

By now, many people who were enjoying ice cream nearby where trying to aid Caroline in putting out the growing fire on Harry's cloak, with no luck. Caroline grabbed her glass of Perrier and threw it on Harry, the fire did not go out but instead began to grow.

People were screaming frantically as Harry tried to pull off his cloak. It seemed to be stuck on his body. Harry couldn't pull apart the buttons.

Caroline turned and stopped suddenly in the midst off all of the commotion.

"Meara" she said out loud.

"Get your ass out here!"

Meara stood shocked for a moment at the language that Caroline was using but then disregarded it and reversed the invisibility spell on her body.

Meara appeared in the crowd, in the midst of a group of young children who were watching the commotion. Caroline began walking towards Meara, her wand withdrawn. The children scurried away at the look of anger on Caroline's face.

Caroline's eyes were blazing in anger and horror and her dark hair was flowing behind in making her look as though she had just been electrocuted.

"Verazzio Firanaculo!" screamed Caroline, her eyes blazing, as she pointed her wand at Meara. At the same time, Meara withdrew her wand and screamed in her sugary voice: "Veruca Potaztia!"

Both spells shot out of the girls' wands and met in mid air causing a large explosion as they met.

People screamed at the sound of the explosion and began running away.

"WHY?" screamed Caroline as she pointed her wand once again and screamed: "Finalee Incantanto!"

Her spell set fire to Meara's golden hair.

Meara began to scream in horror as her golden hair went up in flames. The fire was scouring her head and Caroline could smell the burned hair. Caroline began to laugh maliciously as tears filled Meara's bright, watery, blue eyes.

With a twirl and a large green cloud of putrid smoke, Meara disappeared.

Caroline returned her attention to Harry who had finally succeeded on pulling off his cloak.

"Harry" said Caroline as she hugged him

"I'm fine" he said

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley emerged from the crowd and rushed towards Harry and Caroline.

"Oh my gosh, are you all right?" said Mrs. Weasley looking absolutely flustered at the sight of Caroline's disheveled hair and Harry's burned and tattered cloak.

The crowd surrounding Caroline and Harry began to slowly disappear as the two adults and two teenagers stared at each other.

"Let's go home" said Mr. Weasley as he looked cautiously around them. Ron and Hermione walked up to the group with scared looks on their faces, along with the rest of the Weasley children.

Caroline rose slowly and took Harry by the hand. They began to walk away with the Weasleys and Hermione. Caroline did not look back at the destruction her romp with Meara had caused.
