Chapter Eleven: A Talk With The Being
Harry's dreams began to take shape as he slept. The world seemed to change around him bringing him to an area of complete darkness that seemed unthreatening even in it's vastness. Looking around Harry began to think about what was going on until he was assaulted with sound that seemed to surround him and come from inside him. Looking around wildly he was startled when looking into the darkness the figure that he saw in Diagon Ally was in his dreams.
"Well Mr. Potter it seems that we finally meet." Said the figure "While you don't know me I assure you we are much alike in many aspects, but completely different in all others. If you haven't noticed yet we are linked just the same way you and Tom are."
Speaking with courage even though the figure while not giving off the dementor feeling was still formidable "How do you know about that?...What do you want with me?" he said the second part with fear of not knowing how they were linked.
Harry could feel as if it were smirking at him even though he couldn't see any of his skin "Ahh that's the question isn't it. While you think it I will tell you one thing that while has nothing to do with the answer you seek is the solution to all your problems."
"Just tell me what you want!" Harry yelled frustrated and confuse at the beings attitude. "Whatever you going to do just do it and get it over with."
The being spoke unfazed by the yelling "Harry it is not what I want, but what you need. You need to listen closely because I still have much to do. Realize inside you there is a piece of the weapon that you will need to destroy Tom. I cannot tell you how to harness it because it is your destiny, but I can tell you that his life is now bound as a human your blood while it brought him back is what damns him to mortality. I must leave you now. Continue with your fight because much will challenge you."
Staring at the figure Harry couldn't quite understand it, but knew whomever it was speaking was truthful in its words. Looking at the figure he was startled to see the figure as quickly as it came was now gone. Looking around at the blackness he allowed himself to be taken by it and woke up with a start the following morning.
Remembering the strange dream he decided to make sure he told Dumbledore. Going downstairs he was surprise to see that he was not alone in the house, but the surprise was short lived seeing that his only company was Snape. Deciding to avoid talking to him Harry grabbed a piece of toast and some fruit. Eating quickly began to leave for his room to stop as Snape spoke.
"Well Potter it seems that you will be taking my NEWT Preparation Potions Class this next year." Said the greasy potion master "I hope that you know that while you somehow convinced the people testing you to pass you, I will not be lenient on you just because of your fame." He said with contempt.
Fuming at the allegation that he would cheat he decided to be the bigger man as he spoke with gritted teeth "Well professor I do know my potions and I did not use my "fame" to get into it I actually had my results checked my the department of Education and I still received an Outstanding on my test. So I will do well in your class... Good bye professor." Leaving before Snape could speak he decide to throw himself into studying potions.
Finishing his reading Harry felt that he could use some relaxation. Moving to his final section of his trunk Harry changed into a spectral wolf. Getting used to his surroundings Harry noticed the shadows seemed to be to call to him. His instincts taking control he moved towards them focusing on the feeling he was getting while around them. Deciding to take a risk Harry ran headlong into the shadows feeling himself fade into the shadows. Trying his new ability he ran through the seemingly infinite dark. Looking around he didn't see anything that reminded him of his trunk. Thinking about being near the entrance of the trunk he was amazed as the world of darkness faded and he was once again in his trunk as if he hadn't even left. Confused by excited about the possibilities being able to run through the shadows left him. Noticing it was around dinner time Harry decided to see how far he could travel through the shadow. Running through the shadow he focused on the dining room. Feeling that he didn't do it right he looked around, but noticed in the shadow a path seemed to be made infront of him. Taking a chance he followed the path to be be taken exactly where he wanted. Looking around he noticed that it seemed that there were a few people dining there that night walking around the room he was surprised that no one seemed to notice a massive wolf circling the room. Remembering he was still traveling in the shadow he walked out and chucked inside when five adult witches and Wizards Screamed.
Tonks who recently got done with a mission for the Order was just sitting around waiting for dinner to be served. She was happy to be back and was hoping to patch things up with Harry, she felt bad with the way things ended between them, but knew it ended the way it should have. Listening to the older members talk her daydream was ended as what seemed to be a gigantic wolf walked out of the shadows towards them. Not feeling embarrassed to scream bloody murder she was happy to see even the old Auror Moody seemed shocked and scared at the development. Picking herself off she stood up and pointed her wand at the beast, but only to have Moony throw himself in front of them telling them to put down there wands.
Mooney was a bit startled by the wolf, but realized quickly that it was Harry he stood up and tried to calm down the panicky order members. "Hold on its alright it won't hurt you. Just put your wands down." He yelled. Turning to the wolf he spoke quickly to the animal which seemed to be Smirking. The wolf seemed to close its eyes and where it once was stood a black haired, green eyed teenager who seemed to be barely holding back a laugh.
"Well you all don't seemed to happy to see me." Said the young wizard cockily nodding toward them all with there wands raised. Happy with there shocked expression Harry took a seat at the table and began to eat a freshly baked roll.
The stern transfiguration could barely suppress a smile at the antics of her gifted student. "Well Mr. Potter if you're done with your antics I believe that the other members would like an explanation to what just happened."
"Well during the summer I received animagus training. Well my form is a spectral wolf and one of the abilities is its ability to fade into the shadows. I only just tried it and learned to move from place to place while in the shadow. I think it's a neat trick especially if I run into Voldemort again." Said Harry.
The rest of the night went without as much excitement. Walking to his room Harry was stopped by Tonks. Who wanted to speak with him about the incident earlier that summer.
"Harry I know we haven't talked much lately and I wanted to apologize about leaving and not telling you, but I felt it was best to leave before anything else may happened." Said Tonks in voice that showed much uncertainty.
Harry looked on fairly exasperated "I believe we've already covered that before you left. I don't think there's anything to discuss. I know I'm just a kid to you and I know there was no attraction between us. I just took advantage of the situation. Now I don't think that there's anything left to say." He said pointedly. Trying to brush her off he caught off guard by the strong grip she had on his arm keeping him from leaving.
"You might not think there's anything left to say, but I do. Harry you know I don't think of you as a kid I respect you because of all that you've done, but after that kiss I realized that I might be leading you on. I know that the pleasure from that kiss was far from one sided, but I was supposed to be a teaching you, not snogging you senseless. Please Harry lets just try and go back to the way it was before I always enjoyed talking and working with you." Tonks said her eyes downcast trying to keep from breaking down. In truth she would have enjoyed being with Harry, but she worried about him to much already and couldn't handle the heartbreak if he were to die.
Harry felt bad with the way he treated Tonks. Cupping her cheek in his hand he brought her face to look into his eyes. "Tonks I know that we can still be friends, but it will take time."
"I know, but I hope we can be friends again." Said a smiling Tonks, but even with he happiness a stray tear falls down her cheek.
"Hey no need to cry." Said Harry wiping the stray tear from her cheek. "I know a way to cheer you up." Tonks looks up at Harry wondering what he could do. "We could snog each other senseless." Harry replied cheekily raising his eyebrows suggestively.
Tonks couldn't help but giggle at Harry's attempt to cheer her up. "Harry as tempting as that sounds." Tonks said suggestively " I think I need to go to my own bed.without you." Saying the last part cheerfully.
"Aww Tonks I'm hurt, but you know where my bed is if you change your mind" said Harry. "Alright Tonks goodnight and see you soon" embracing her in a quick hug he was surprised when she left a quick peck on his cheek as her own good night. Harry happy that he resolved a conflict that had been troubling him for a while he set off and had a very restful sleep.
