Chapter 2: Eavesdropping and Honesty

"Mum! Mum!"

"Mrs. Weasley!"

"Mum!"

Five children thundered down the stairs and skidded into the kitchen. Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Lavendar and Parvati. They were all out of breath.

"What is the matter? Didn't Fred tell you we were in the middle of a meeting." The members of the Order were scattered about the kitchen staring at the intruders.

"Yes, but-"

No buts Ron, back upstairs."

"But Harry's-"

"Where is Harry?"

"HE'S SICK!!!" shouted five voices. "That's what we've been trying to tell you."

"Oh dear. I'd better go see to him."

~*~*~*~*~

Harry's condition slowly worsened. He was sleeping in Percy's old bedroom when Dumbledore arrived.

"Hello, Molly. I assume you didn't just call me over for tea?"

"No, I'm extremely worried about Harry. He was fine yesterday morning and now…he's…I think he's dying, Albus." Her voice was barely more than a whisper.

"Don't think about such things, Molly. Harry will be perfectly fine."

But these words were barely heard by the eavesdropper outside the door. Dying? How could he be dying? She couldn't stand it…the love of her life. And he was dying.

~*~*~*~*

The eavesdropper made her way back to Ron's room to report her findings.

"He's dying." These were the only words the poor girl could utter.

Pandemonium broke out in the room. Their teacher was dying? It couldn't be! Many were crying. The Patil twins, Lavender, Hermione, Ginny. Even Ron was on the verge of tears. Harry couldn't be dying, could he? It had to be a lie.

~*~*~*~*~

The eavesdropper sat alone on a bench in the garden. She barely noticed when Albus Dumbledore sat down beside her. Not until he spoke atleast.

"Do not believe what is said. Harry will be fine. But he needs his friends. I suggest, young lady, that you do not leave his side until the end."

It was more like an order than a suggestion, but the poor girl nodded her head. Dumbledore had already left.

Wanting to obey quickly and quietly, the girl made her way to where Harry lay. She would not leave his side for anything.

A/N: Finally. I'm really sorry I didn't post this sooner. I meant to, but things kept creeping up on me. Power outages and the like. Yeuch. Anywho. I'm evil. I love leaving people hanging and dropping hints and such. So prepare for the worst. And don't worry about writer's block for me. I have enough written that if I post once a week it'll last three months! I'll try and post more often though!!! Lata
