Truth hurts the sequel
Chapter 5
Harry lay on his four-poster bed, thinking. He knew that he should be relieved that Voldermot had been destroyed but he could not recall how. Whenever he tried to recall, all he got was an empty space. He felt as if an important part of his memory had been stripped from him. Harry closed his eyes and sighed. What was it? He pondered on the questions for a few minutes before falling asleep with only one word in his mind.
'HOW?'
Harry opened his eyes to find himself on the quidditch field with many other students. He looked around with confusion as he spotted Hermoine and Ron and ran towards them. Before he could speak, he felt a sharp pain on his forehead. Harry cried softly and he knew why it was throbbing with excruciating pain.
[1]"What's wrong?" asked Ron and Hermoine at the same time. They looked at each other in surprise and looked away, blushing furiously. Despite the pain, Harry managed to smile with amusement. So. there IS some chemistry between two people.
"It's Voldermot. He's near." Said a grave voice behind them. Everyone looked behind in surprise and saw Dumbledor with the other teachers.
"Not only him. Also one of Clow's creation that went quite wrong." Said another voice beside them. Everyone jumped and looked at the direction of the voice. [1]
"Eriol!" Harry heard himself say even though he could not remember whom that person was. He frowned in confusion. How did he know this weird looking guy's name? Wait a minute. He looks vaguely familiar! At the background, he could vaguely hear someone call his name.
"Harry." said the voice. All of a sudden, he saw the whole world around him swirl into a blurry picture.
"No! Wait! Who are you! What are you to me! Don't go!" cried Harry as he returned to the darkness.
"HARRY POTTER!!" Yelled a familiar voice. Harry woke up in a start and fell off the bed.
"Finally you're awake!" grumbled Hermoine as she helped him up from the floor. Harry put on his spectacles and looked at Hermoine.
"What are you doing here? This is a BOY's Dormitory!" He asked furiously. Hermoine did not seem bothered.
"So? Did you not know that there is this rule that girls can enter the boy's dorm but not vice versa?" Said Hermoine as she threw Harry's robes at him. He caught it and stared at Hermoine angrily.
"Come on! Stop glaring at me and get changed! Ron, Sakura and I are waiting for you at the common room." Said Hermoine as she exited the dorm.
"Damm that stupid rule," grumbled Harry, as he got dressed. He reflected on the dream as he exited the dorm and walked down the steps to the common room.
"That Eriol boy. He mentioned something about a cloud card or something like that. Or was it clow?" Pondered Harry as he approached his best friends waiting impatiently. Harry shoved his dream to a side of his mind. He would tackle that later. He had more important things to handle now, naming one of them, RON.
"RONALD WEASLY!" cried Harry furiously when he saw Ron creep out of the portrait hole slowly so as to avoid Harry.
"Why did you let Hermoine into the boy's dorm? You could have came for me yourself, your idiot!" cried Harry as he strangled Ron.
"Just because you LIKE her, does not mean that you can BEND to her every wimp and will!" whispered Harry angrily. He was tempted to shout it out but Harry held himself back just in time. (Sakura heard it!!!) He preferred Ron to tell Hermoine that he liked her himself than Hermoine knowing it through a friend. Ron just kept quiet as Harry continued to strangle him. Hermoine just walked past them and climbed out of the portrait hole, with Sakura giggling behind her, leaving the two boys to find their way to the great hall themselves. Ron could not control his temper any more and let it flare.
"WHAT ABOUT YOU AND CHO, HUH? WEREN'T YOU DOING THE SAME??" He cried as Harry continued to strangle him. Harry seemed unaffected.
"Well, don't try to change the subject because this is regarding YOU and HERMOINE GRANGER. Not ME and CHO CHANG!!!" whispered Harry angrily.
"And what's more, I don't give a damm about her anymore. So you better tell Hermoine sometime this century or else I am going to explode!" Harry added before climbing out of the portrait hole, dragging Ron with him.
When they reached the Great Hall, Harry sat down angrily and chewed on a bun he had grabbed from the breadbasket. He calmed down and looked at Hermoine who was buried in a book, 'Rune Dictionary'. Harry and Ron looked at Hermoine strangely and caught Sakura's eyes. She just shrugged.
"Ancient Runes test later." Hermoine said simply without looking up. Harry just shrugged.
Before he could speak, Professor McGonagall handed out 4 schedule sheets to them.
"Stop your squabbling now, students. Eat up and be on your way. You don't want to be late for your first lesson do you?" she lectured.
When she left, Ron, Hermoine and Harry pulled a face when they read the schedule.
"Great. Why does it always have to be potions first period?" Harry muttered to.
Sakura frowned and looked at her schedule. She lifted an eyebrow.
"Potions is not THAT bad," she reasoned. The trio just looked at her as if she was crazy.
"Are you serious?" They all cried and Skaura just took a large gulp of milk, willing herself to shut up.
As Harry made his way to the 'Hell hole' where potions was held, he pondered on his dream again.
"Eriol. Who is he? And his costume. It looks so familiar. Everything about it is so familiar. But how?" he muttered to himself. Hermoine, Ron and Sakura heard him and when they heard the word Eriol, their brains started ticking and all four stopped in their tracks. Sakura froze in fright. Hermoine, Harry and Ron looked at each other and smiled.
"Eriol Hiiragizawa!" They cried in unison. Just then, their brains cleared a little. Sakura stiffened.
"But, why did we remember that name all of a sudden? Who is he to us?" asked Hermoine.
"He's no one. Just ignore that name." Said Sakura hurriedly and ran off in the direction of the dungeon.
"What's up with Sakura?" asked Hermoine.
"You know, I think there is something fishy about her. She seems so. weird!" cried Ron. Harry nodded.
"I don't know. But I have been having this dream and then I heard myself calling a boy 'Eriol'. I don't even know who that was in the first place but he seemed so familiar," murmured Harry as they went on their way to the dungeon for potions.
"Well, we'll talk about that later. Now, we have torture ahead of us," said Ron as they entered the dungeon.
As they settled down, Professor Snape walked in with his head up high. Harry, Ron and Hermoine joined Sakura on the table, who was wringing her hands nervously. The three looked at each other and frowned. Before they could speak, Snape started speaking.
"Today, we'll be making the very simple Shrinking Potion. The ingredients and method" -Snape flicked his wand "- are on the blackboard-" (they appeared there) "-You will find everything you need-" He flicked his wand again "- in the store cupboard-" (the door of the said cupboard sprang open) "- You have an hour and a half. start."
Harry and gang sighed. This was going to be a looong day.
