Chapter Twenty-Six
Blurry Inner Eyes
That weekend was slow going. Katie, even though their next match wasn't till February, she insisted on having an all day practice all day Saturday, only leaving Sunday open to finish his homework.
Harry was sitting in the library with Hermione and Ron when two first years entered loudly.
"I'm not going to call you God!" One said.
"Then call me Lord." The other argued.
Mark's red hair became visible shaking his head and Adam McCabe was trailing his heals holding his hands in the air.
"Evans, McCabe. SHHHHH." Madam Pince hissed.
"Adam, I'm not going to call you God or Lord not even Sir or Mister. now come off it!" Mark hissed.
"I guess I need a new jester than." Adam said roughly. "Oh, hello Potter." He said when he saw Harry.
"Hi Harry," Mark said excitedly taking a seat in between him and Hermione. "We were getting ready to start our homework. And Adam went into this big thing about think it would be cool to be a zombie. than a wolf, then a zombie wolf. is that great, but that's not the first of it." Mark laughed at himself. "Adam McCabe here thinks that he is Lord Zombie Wolf and wants me to call him God. now doesn't that just."
"Tickle you pink." Adam completely annoyed. "He says that all the time." Adam giggled a bit.
Ron and Hermione looked at each other and then at Harry. Harry just grinned and shrugged. those two kinda reminded him of himself and Ron, always bickering about the dumbest things.
Monday went fast. and Tuesday was faster. The only thing those two days accomplish was that they piled homework on the sixth years and brought Remus Lupin to the castle. He was helping Dumbledore with a "private" matter and was going to spend the next full moon (Wednesday) in the Whomping Willow like old times.
Harry was called the Dumbledore's office that Tuesday night. Snape, Lupin, McGonagall and Flickwick were there too.
"Good evening Harry." Dumbledore said softly.
"Hello Professor." Harry said routinely. And he took his seat next to little Professor Flickwick.
"Straight to business Harry," Dumbledore said firmly, "This is our small, Hogwarts Order of the Phoenix meeting." He smiled.
"Oh." Harry said, not knowing what else to say.
"It has come to our attention Potter," McGonagall said strictly, "that you are willing to do anything and almost everything for the Order, am I correct?"
"Anything I can do to help."
"Well, we just wanted to tell you." Flickwick started.
"That we are relying on you for action." Snape sneered. "We believe you are strong enough to 'fight' along side with the Order."
Harry's eyes bugged out.
Snape actually said he was strong enough to fight. and the Order was letting him.
"Thanks." was all he could say.
"Harry. we must press it upon you NOT TO TELL ANYONE ELSE ABOUT THIS." Dumbledore said firmly.
"I won't say a word."
"Potter, we are giving you lea way to fight the battles you have to fight. but at your own risk." Flickwick piped.
"Yes sir. thank you sir."
"You may leave now Harry." Dumbledore said.
"Yes sir."
The next thing Harry knew, he was sitting on the cold Dungeon floor in the empty class room waiting for Seri to show up for his Divinations lesson, little did he know he was waiting for his biggest adventure to date.
"Good afternoon," Seri said, sweeping into the class room. "We are going to try that prediction thing again." She sat down her books and took off her robes. She had on a tank top underneath. Harry spotted something on her arm, but like she just realized how cold it was, she drew the robes back around her again.
"Okay then, get set up. right there you are. now concentrate. see anything describe it out loud and I'll help you understand it."
Harry nodded. He crossed his legs as best he could. He rolled his eyes. this was dumb. but he did as Seri asked, closed his eyes and "opened his mind to what the inner eye wanted him to see."
He snorted at this.
And so he sat there. hearing Seri scribble away on her work when something happened that hadn't happen before. Something over took him. It wasn't like the year before when he was seeing what Voldemort was, but it was like he was in even less control than he was than.
He felt like he was walking down a familiar tunnel, leading down.
"Ouch! Please, just let me go." A squeaky voice pleaded.
"Shut up and walk."
"No... I didn't do anything. please."
"It's time for your punishment."
Harry turned his head furiously. trying to figure out who was talking or at least where he was.
Finally he heard it. the high shrill. "Keep walking Sybil."
Voldemort.
Professor Trawnley.
The image was fading, and fading fast.
He had to find out where they where.
The last image he saw before the image was finally gone was a nappy old bed.
"SERI!" Harry yelled.
"Harry, what is it? Did you see something?" Seri was down on all fours, staring at him excitedly.
He looked at her, words failing him. He looked at her, than at the door. What if they were there now?
"Trawnley. Voldemort." He stuttered.
"Yes. what about them."
"They're in the Shirking Shake."
Seri's eyes got big. "Are you sure?"
"Not positive. but I saw Remus's old bed. and I heard Voldemort's voice and he said Sybil." Harry said quickly, getting to his feet.
"Okay. okay." Seri began to pace. "I can't believe you totally, you know that Harry. but we could check. it'll be no harm.."
"Tell Snape!" Harry said, throwing his hands up in the air sarcastically.
"Yes. Severus." Seri ran to the door, flung it open and bolted into another dungeon door down the corridor.
Harry followed her.
There was a first year class inside, who was quite pleased with the interruption.
"Black. what are you doing?" Snape barked.
"We need to talk to you." Harry step out from behind her.
"Hi Potter," Adam McCabe said happily from the other end of the room.
"Ten points from Gryffindor McCabe." Snape hissed. "Can it wait?"
"No." Seri said hastily. "Class dismissed."
Everyone smile, gathered their things and ran from the room.
"How dare you dismiss my class!" Snape snarled.
Adam and Mark stayed behind; cleaning up everyone's potions, Snape nor Seri noticed them.
"Harry saw Sybil and Voldemort." Seri said.
"Don't say his name." Snape hissed, clapping his hands over his ears.
"Oh will you please, Voldemort, Voldemort. Voldy. mort!" Seri sang.
Harry looked at her as though she had gone mad. she shook his head. "I saw them in the Shrieking Shack!"
"So. Harry had a silly little dream. why dismiss my class!" Snape said furiously.
"Get over it Snivellus!" Seri barked. "They might be after Remus. they might have known he was staying there tonight and came to get him. use him somehow!"
"Why would they use Remus?" Mark piped.
"Evans. McCabe. OUT!"
Mark and Adam looked at each other, faces full of mischief. They grinned and hurried out of the dungeon.
"What do you suppose we do?" Snape hissed.
"Tell Remus and Albus and check it out." Seri said excitedly.
"Professor Dumbledore is out." Snape said shortly.
"Well, let's get Remus and go. it can't be much. now can it?"
Seri winked. Snape grinned. sort of.
"Fine. Potter, get that werewolf."
Harry ran from the room, snicker flowing softly behind him.
Lupin was sitting in the Great Hall, reading a book. "REMUS!" Harry shouted.
"Harry, what is it. what's wrong?" Remus shut the book and stared at him.
"Shack. Sybil. Voldemort." Harry stuttered. breathless.
Remus opened his mouth in horror. "Voldemort had Trawnley in the Shrieking Shack?"
Harry nodded his head violently.
"Remus." Seri and Snape came running in behind them.
"Come on, let's hurry before class lets out." Snape hissed.
Seri rolled her eyes and took off to the Great doors, Snape, Remus, Harry and two undetected first years following behind her.
She sped off toward the Whomping Willow, skipping slightly. Harry had to admit, it was kind of exciting. but what if what happened last time happens again? What if Remus dies this time? Or even Seri? Heck, Harry would feel bad if it got Snape killed!
Seri picked up a stick and propped the knot on the tree.
The Whomping Willow froze.
Remus led the way. Seri behind him, Snape behind her and Harry trailing what he thought was the end of the group.
They walked down the damp, underground tunnel. Harry took in a breath and sighed. They were reaching the end of the path. what would they find?
Remus broke the darkness ahead to what Harry could see. He looked around and popped his head back in the mouth in the tunnel.
"Looks okay guys!" He called, relieved.
"Thank you for your approval Remus Lupin." Snarled a voice from behind Lupin.
Lupin spinned around, towering over him was Voldemort himself. an evil grin of his face.
Remus was shaking from head to toe. "Run!"
With out another thought, Harry turned on heel to run, but something was ahead of him.
"Ah, I thought we might meet famous Harry Potter here." It was Wormtail, carrying two somethings, one under each arm.
"Harry, help us!" One of those things was Mark.
"Yeah Potter," Adam said calmly, his arms crossed. "Isn't this guy supposed to be dead or something?"
"No,"
"Yes he is. it's Pete Pettigrew. Sirius Black killed him."
"No, Sirius Black didn't kill anyone!"
"Yes he did."
"No he didn't."
"Yes he did."
"No he didn't."
"Would you two SHUT UP!" Wormtail whined kicking Harry. "Walk!" He barked.
Harry turned around and walked quickly back the other way. Seri, Snape and Remus were already inside.
He broke the darkness. Mark and Adam were sat on their feet and pushed toward him; both first years running into his back.
"EVANS, McCABE!" Snape hissed. "Who told you to follow us?"
"We did," Adam said coolly.
"That question wasn't supposed to be answered!" Snape barked.
Harry looked around the room. It was different then when he saw it last. There was big cage in the corner and two people tied to chairs, their back to Harry.
He gulped as he looked at the Death Eaters around him. Wormtail of course. then there was Gaylord Malfoy, Franklin Yon and Haden Doge.
"Shut up all of you!" Voldemort hissed. "Malfoy, make sure your dear cousin doesn't get away."
The tall, blond man step forward and gripped Seri's arm. "Hello Angelica my sweet," Gaylord hissed in her ear.
"Get off me. And my name is Sirius." She barked, taking her hand back. She found her wand and cursed him.
"Awe, very good child!" Voldemort sneered. His long fingers enclosed around her wrist, forcing her to drop her wand. He pointed his own wand at her and rope bounded her, making her fall to the floor in a heap.
"Servus." Franklin Yon said, point his wand at the greasy face git, tying his hand behind his back and his ankles together. Snape fell beside Seri.
"Put the werewolf in the cage, and lock the three children up somewhere." Voldemort said.
"We're not children you old git!" Adam hissed, his wand pointing at Voldemort heart. or where a heart should have been.
Harry followed suit, pointing his at Wormtail and Mark has his pointed at Yon.
"You nasty little boy." Voldemort said, laughing shrilly, "I should teach you a lesson!"
Harry went to untie Seri, but Wormtail took his wand and held him still. Yon did the same to Mark. Adam was the only one with a wand and it was pointed at Voldemort.
"Stupify!" He yelled.
Voldemort stumbled back, but his face cracked in a sickening grin.
"Fier-Fire!" He hissed.
"NOOO!" Seri yelled, falling over on her side.
Red flames engulfed Adam.
He was on fire.
Adam, not knowing what else to do, started running around the room, screaming his head off. but Harry thought he was enjoying it.
"Follow the plan." Voldemort said. "I have to be leaving." And with that the snake faced man turned into a snake and slithered away.
"Come on now Potter!" Wormtail sneered.
"Let go of me!" Harry said, trying to tear himself out of his arms.
"You are not getting away from me!" Wormtail threw him into a chair, tying him to it. The same was down to Mark.
Adam McCabe was still running around the room on fire, but he was smilingly oddly.
"Get that one," Yon said, sitting down on the floor.
"Why me?" Gaylord whined.
"Because you let the bitch Black curse you, now get him." Haden Doge said firmly.
"Fine. fine." Gaylord started chasing Adam round. Adam seemed to be enjoying the chase, running in circles and screaming with his hands in the air.
"Get. over here. you little." Gaylord huffed, pushing a table out of the way.
"Haha. can't get me! WHEEEE!" Adam squealed, running in passed Remus.
"Oh, Malfoy, can't you do anything right?" Haden Doge muttered. "Studify!" Adam became stunned and fell to the floor.
"Why didn't the fire hurt him?" Yon asked.
"Because someone must have put a freezing charm on him you dip shit!" Wormtail said strongly. "Now put him out and tie him up."
Laughing Yon took a bucket of water and dumped it on Adam. The fire died. And Malfoys tied him up.
"Okay Peter, I'll bite. what do you want with us?" Seri said, finally heaving her body up straight, half leaning on Snape.
"Funny you should ask. I rather didn't want you or Snivellus. and Mr. Potter and Evans were an added bonus." Wormtail laughed.
"What makes me so special?" Mark piped before Harry got the chance to kick him.
"Evans. he doesn't know." Malfoy said flapping his hand at him, "Neither does Potter."
"Know what?" Harry jarred, fidgeting his seat.
"You tell him Peter and I swear to God I'll kill you!" Seri hissed.
"Oh shut up you old fool, I wouldn't give Potter or the Mudblood Evans the privileged of knowing."
"Why did you want me here?" Remus piped threw the bars.
"It's a full moon isn't it?" Wormtail asked with an answer. "You are the only werewolf that hasn't joined the Dark Lord's work. so, when we kill you, we still need the extra werewolf."
"Wh.who?" Seri asked, now officially shaken.
"Why, our very own half breed hater herself." Gaylord said proudly turning one of the chairs around.
Plump little old Umbridge was tied to the chair.
