Harry Potter and the Castle Of Fear
Chapter 3-The Missing Guest
Harry stepped off the train at Hogsmeade station, happy to finally be home.
Along with the happiness, Harry felt a strange feeling of dread, as if everything were not quite right.
He shrugged off the feeling when he saw Hagrid and proceeded to follow Ron and Hermione into the great hall for the welcoming feast.
Harry realized he did not see Roma when he took his seat next to Ron, but didn't think much of it, as he realized she was probably talking to Dumbledore and McGonagall.
But when Harry looked over at the main table, he realized everyone except for Roma was there.
The feeling of dread crept back over Harry. He knew something was very wrong.
The next thing Harry knew, Dumbledore was approaching the Gryffindor table.
"Harry," Professor Dumbledore began, "Do you know where Professor Ringwhite might be?"
"No, Professor," replied Harry, "The last time I saw or spoke to Professor Ringwhite was on the Hogwarts Express just before we arrived."
"Did you see her leave the train, Harry?" questioned Dumbledore.
"No, I went inside before I saw her." said Harry.
McGonagall approached Harry and said, "Come with us, please Potter. We want you to show us where you last saw your professor."
She then turned to the new students and said, "The sorting ceremony and welcoming feast will be held later. Prefects, please escort all the students, including the new arrivals to the Defense Against Dark Arts classroom. Mr. Filch and Hagrid will accompany you. Off you go."
Harry followed Dumbledore, McGonagall, and the rest of the Professors back to Hogsmeade Station. Professor Flitwick, Madame Hooch, and Professor Snape went to search the village of Hogsmeade.
Harry, Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore decided to search the train. Just before Harry and the professors boarded the train, Harry felt a searing pain in his scar.
"Harry, are you all right?" asked Professor Dumbledore.
"I don't think so, Professor. When I left Roma's compartment, I felt a pain in my scar. It lasted for only a second, but after that I had a bad feeling. It happened again just now. I know something is wrong."
"Do not concern yourself, Harry. I'm sure everything will be all right. Now where did you see her last?"
"I spoke to her in the last cabin on the train."
"All right, Harry. Lead the way and show me where she is."
As Harry walked through the train, the feeling of dread grew. Harry reached the last cabin, opened the door, and saw something that scared him more than Lord Voldemort. He saw his new professor and the only link to his past laying on the floor of her cabin, unconscious.
"Professor, come quick!" Harry said in a panic.
Dumbledore arrived at Harry's side so quickly Harry thought he must of apparated.
"Is she alive?" asked Harry worriedly.
"Yes, Harry, but she's been attacked by Voldemort. Harry, go back the castle with Professor McGonagall. I will take Roma to the hospital wing."
"Will Madame Pomfrey be able to help, Professor McGonagall?" Harry asked on the way back to the castle.
"I do not know, Harry. Voldemort is very powerful."
"What did he do to her?
"He tried to consummate the curse that failed 14 years ago. But we must not discuss this now. We must get to the castle where it is safe and I have to send a message to Alwyn."
"Who is Alwyn, Professor?"
"I may as well tell you Harry. You would have found out anyway. Alwyn is your Professor's twin brother and the only one who can save her."
"How can he save her, Professor?" Harry questioned. "I'm sorry, Harry, but if you knew Voldemort would attack him also and Roma will never recover. She will be blinded forever."
"Blinded?" asked Harry when they arrived in Professor Dumbledore's office.
"Come in and sit down, Harry. I am going to tell you what I should have told you four years ago."
Harry took a deep breath and said, "OK" and sat down.
"Harry, when Voldemort killed your parents, Roma was there that Halloween and she is the one responsible for saving your life. She was wearing an invisibility cloak that night and was able to deflect the curse that was supposed to kill you. That is why you have the scar."
"I don't believe it." said Harry.
"It's true, Harry" said a voice from behind him.
Harry stood up and turned around at the sound of the voice.
"Sirius!" Harry exclaimed.
"Hello, Harry." Sirius said with a worried smile on his face.
"What's happened to Roma?" Harry questioned.
"Sit down and I will tell you everything." Sirius said.
Harry sat, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm ready, Sirius."
"After she saved your life Voldemort was extremely angry, needless to say. Voldemort had been weakened but still had enough power to cast the Conjunctivitis Curse. It failed. Voldemort wanted to burn Roma's eyes out for seeing too much, but all he succeeded in doing was blinding her and turning her green eyes blood red, permanently. The only reason you saw her with her natural eye color is because her twin brother discovered a spell to turn her eyes green and restore her sight. But when Voldemort tries to consummate the curse, Roma is blinded. That is why we need to find Alwyn."
"But who is he, Sirius?"
"The only one who can save her now, Harry."
