A/N: This is like the main part where the story kicks off…the first chapter was more of guidelines of fear for the Wizarding World. This chapter is Harry POV. This entire thing except first chapter is Harry's POV except for a little bit of Penelope and a chapter of the new girl.
Harry Potter and The Window Of Fate
By Ron Potter
Chapter 2: The Perfect Situation
After my fourth year at Hogwarts, Lily and James and Sirius and Remus have not returned to our Godric's Hollow mansion. Charlotte says she owled Dumbledore about it but it's not true since she's been mailing Allen Blacksberry nonstop to perfect their relationship. Cameron is too busy helping out Mrs. Krum who's staying as the parental over Cameron, Charlotte, and me. Penelope is in Russia for two weeks to work with muggle relations' officers to help restore the crisis of rumors being spread that muggles have entered freely Wizarding towns. Of course Viktor is back home in Bulgaria with Hermione and decided to continue Quidditch.
"Mrs. Krum…do you believe me that Voldemort's came back?" I asked at breakfast one morning.
"Of course…us Krum's have always believed in Karkaroff," Mrs. Krum replied pouring Charlotte more orange juice.
"Do you think it's safe having Penelope in Russia where death eater meetings use to take place?" I asked.
"She's perfectly fine dear," Mrs. Krum replied pleasantly. "Might I remind dear to never say the dark lord's name."
"I had a dream last night about Voldemort," I blurted out finishing my bacon and eggs. "Voldemort said something about us all Potter kids." I leaned back trying to remember what it is he said then I pulled out the basin that dad got me for a pensive. I dropped a single strand of my hair in the basin thinking hard about the dream then shoving it forward so everyone can see.
A glowing fire all in a single black room dimly lighted us. Voldemort sat in a chair by the fire, Pettigrew lay weakly next to the chair, and Malfoy and Rookwood stood before Voldemort.
"Nice work you two," Voldemort said. "Telling a few muggles about us in Russia then controlling that Potter girl so she'd go help clear it up. Then forcing Viktor Krum back to his town with a filthy mudblood where death eater circles have occurred. And young Harry still presides at Godric's Hollow where I last left him. But we must get him out of there quickly."
"I've already talked to Narcissa and Goyle and Crabbe and we've decided to dementor Godric's Hollow," Malfoy said. "Goyle and Crabbe have already gained control of ten dementors while Macnair got the giants on our side."
"Those dementors should force the Marauder heirs to use magic forcing them out of Hogwarts for doing magic over the summer and in a muggle neighborhood," Voldemort said. "The Marauders will come running to the rescue of their precious heirs when they'll already be moved to the Krum Estate in death eater Ville."
"Harry dear, this was just a dream remind you," Mrs. Krum informed finishing off her coffee.
"How come it's in a pensive though?" Cameron asked. "Pensives don't have dreams in them...just memories."
"How do you explain you knowing this then if it wasn't a dream?" Mrs. Krum asked.
"I don't know," I replied. "I do know that it may be like when Voldemort's close or feeling mad or happy I can feel it in my scar. Maybe this is the same thing."
"This was a dream Harry!" Mrs. Krum shouted. "Nothing more than a very real dream!"
The next morning Mrs. Krum's denial of my dream came out. She finally stood up at breakfast and said she and Charlotte had to go to the Krum Estate to check on everything. She was scared to admit it. Because it contained her oldest son figure almost being murdered. She wouldn't just admit that it was true and admit her son might be dead. That's just too much of heartbreak for a mother. Especially when you're on the other side of Europe and he's a famous sports player.
So Charlotte and Mrs. Krum packed their bags and left through floo powder. Now it was Cameron and I alone at Godric's Hollow. I stayed up in my room all day waiting for Ron and Ginny to appear and we can go to the Burrow. But no one came. This was the first summer that Cameron and me were left alone here.
After two long weeks, Remus arrived. We were so happy to finally see him. He had told us all we needed to know about the Order of the Phoenix and placed a secrecy charm on us so we could never speak about it when a non-Order member is 15 feet away.
"So all this time you guys were working with the Order and you never told us!" Cameron shouted.
"Well you weren't Order members so we couldn't tell you but now Dumbledore's given me permission to tell you guys a little bit," Remus replied calmly.
"I feel so stupid," I said," I thought I wasn't going to see mum and dad all summer and all this time they were right down the street at 12 Godric's Hollow. I can't believe I forgot Dumb-."
"Dumbledore lied to you," Remus explained. "You guys have just escaped Voldemort a little while ago before and he couldn't risk telling the truth about the headquarters in case they put tags on you so they could listen."
"Remus, I had a dream two weeks ago about Voldemort," I admitted. "It may be a big help to the Order of the Phoenix."
I brought out the pensive again and showed it to Remus. By the end he seemed so stunned now he couldn't talk then finally said,
"Dumbledore was right. I got to go. Cameron you come with me. We're going to Greece. Harry Penelope and Viktor are in the living room they'll keep you company."
In a hurry Remus magically packed Cameron's bags and put his coat on hurrying outside to the broom in which he came on, the Moon Trimmer. After they left I made a pot of fresh pumpkin juice and turned on the Wizards Wireless Network listening to the Weird Sisters and opening a basket of chocolate frogs Cameron left for me.
"Weird Sisters?" Penelope asked. "What happened to the Knockturn Wands?"
"Their songs are stupid," I replied. "They even broke up year and a half ago. I thought you were staying with Cho and Lisa."
"Cho's out of town with Cedric and Lisa is too busy cause she got a job at the ministry in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office," Penelope said pouring her a cup of tea. "So I know how you feel. Loneliness."
"No you don't, you've always had a ton of friends!" I shouted.
"Not during that second year when I was petrified," Penelope replied coolly. "Just because I was petrified doesn't mean my brain doesn't work. I just felt like I was all alone dangling between life and death with nothing to do for months but wait and see if they cure me. That's kind of like how you are now. I mean your chaperone left, Cameron and Charlotte left, mum and dad left, Remus left, Sirius left. They're all gone."
"Just give me my supplies list and shut up!" I shouted not needed to hear her preaching to me now. All I wanted to hear was Ron or Hermione's voice calling from the fireplace. Or the fact that Cho broke up with Cedric and was waiting for me to ask her out.
Penelope looked horrorstruck. She just froze in mid time. "How'd you know the supplies came?"
"I didn't know," I replied as she handed me over my supplies list. "Let's see: Weird Wizarding Dilemmas and Their Solutions, Elegance in Alchemy, Alchemy Theory, Curses and Counter Curses, The Egyptian Sphinx."
"I know who the new potions teacher is," Penelope said. "I also know who the new defense teacher is. Also looks like Dumbledore made you prefect."
"Who?" Harry asked.
"My brother." I spun around fast seeing who had just spoken, it was Ginny standing there in the kitchen entrance. She walked gracefully over to the counter, poured herself a cup of tea and sat back down again. "Bill Weasley is teaching defense and Fleur Delacour is teaching potions. Doesn't that explain Elegance in Alchemy and Alchemy Theory?"
"I guess so," I replied going into the den to see if Ron was there.
When I got to the den Ron was not there. Fred and George were next to the mantle talking intently with Viktor. I'll bet anything they're trying to get Viktor to start a branch of Weasley Wizard Wheezes in Bulgaria. Fred held a clipboard that read at the top Weasley Wizard Wheezes: For The Bulgarian Public. George held a brown paper sack that appeared to be full of candy (though it was full of their latest gags). Viktor seemed mildly interested in their "business proposition" while reading the National Wizard Bulgarian.
"Where's Ron?" I asked Fred.
"Couldn't come," Fred replied. "He and Hermione went to France."
The summer so far was ruined. All my friends deserted me even my parents. Fred, George, and Ginny were staying here instead.
The following morning we got up early to have a good breakfast before setting out to Diagon Alley. We traveled by floo powder except Fred, George, and Viktor who apperated. Viktor, Fred, and George set out towards the furthest ends of Diagon Alley though the opposite end of Knockturn Alley. Penelope stayed up with Ginny and me to go to Flourish and Blotts. The day could not be any more boring. When Sirius and dad were here with me they made Diagon Alley livelier, but now it's like an old prison movie where everyone moves very very slow.
"C'mon Harry we're staying in the Leaky Cauldron the rest of the time so it's closer to King's Cross," Penelope said pulling me and Ginny straight forward into the pub called the Leaky Cauldron.
Penelope sat Ginny and me down at a 6-seated table to the left of a one eyed witch and a one eyed wizard with a ton of boils. Ginny seemed awfully creeped out by the couple next to us but also looked around for somebody else.
"Who're you looking for?" I asked, as the waitress was two tables away.
Ginny looked back to me immediately almost shocked to see me. "Oh just Michael Cornor, my er– friend from Ravenclaw."
The very pretty red haired waitress was at our table now looking eerily as if examining us for weapons. When you got close to her you could clearly see a purple eye and a blue eye. "Clear! What would you like dears?"
"We are still waiting for three others miss so you can go take that couple's order," Penelope said pointing to the weird couple next to us and taking a seat to Ginny's left next to the window.
"So who else is coming?" I asked examining something blue in the peppershaker.
"Mum and dad and Sirius," Penelope replied waving mum, dad, and Sirius over to the table.
Sirius sat down next to me, dad on the other side of Sirius and mum at the end. Sirius smiled at a witch with long black hair to her waist. Dad through a peanut at him bringing him back to reality. I looked back again and recognized that woman as Miss Marigold Whimsy from the world cup last year. Then Lily waved that weird waitress over again as the waitress once again surveyed the newcomers for weapons.
"We have no weapons miss," Sirius laughed looking right at Ginny and me.
"What would you like Weasley?" the waitress asked.
"Just get us all the Dragon Supreme Dish," Sirius said.
"And bring me a salad," Penelope said. "I was brought as a vegetarian."
