Chapter 5
Harry and Ron where playing chess in the Gryffindor common room. Ron beat Harry five times already before Hermonie ran out of the girls' dormitory and knocked over the chessboard.
"Stop everything you two are doing. I have a brilliant idea for a filing system for all of my notes. She was five heavy looking bags over her shoulders and had mutli-colored folders in her hand
"First year notes will be in the bright red folder. Second year will be green. Third year will be yellow. Fourth year will be blue and fifth year will be purple. I have labeled each folder with my classes. All we need to do is put the in chronological order by class. She pulled out tons of parchment from each bag. Each bag had notes from each year. After we are done with my notes we can start on yours. Harry and Ron looked at each other. They didn't have any notes from the previous years.
An hour later Harry and Ron where getting restless. They have filed hundreds of pages of notes and they were still nowhere near done. Neville ran into the common room panting.
"Come...on. Malfoy...again...Ravenclaw...in the air...upside down." Neville panted. The three looked at each other and ran out the exit, with Neville slowly jogging behind them. Outside in the courtyard there was a huge crowd gathered under a Ravenclaw suspended in the air.
"Tell me where she is" Malfoy yelled up at the Ravenclaw.
"I don't know" cried the Ravenclaw.
"I'm right here." said Orion. The crowd parted to let her through.
"Put him down now"
"Fine" Malfoy lowered his wand and the Ravenclaw hit the ground and ran for the castle.
"You will learn someday. You are pathetic, did you know that? ,"Asked Orion.
Orion turned to grab her school bag when Pansy Parkens pushed her to the ground.
"Take the curse off of him now," she ordered. Orion looked up at her.
"I can't he has to do one good deed. Am I not saying it right?" SPLASH! Malfoy had stumbled into the lake. Now he was struggling to get out. He had his foot stuck in the mud.
"The longer it takes him to do a good deed the worse it's going to get for him." She turned to the crowd who was laughing uncontrollably at Malfoy who just got smacked in the face by the Giant Squid. Harry, Ron, and Hermonie got between Orion and Pansy to gesture, Orion to come with them. A thought just hit Harry. Orion was exposed to Voldemort's power. Could she feel his strong emotions? Did she have visions in her sleep? Maybe she had a scar too. Harry became excited at these thoughts and hurried her even more. He has someone to relate to. He hurried her even more; he had to talk to her.
Ron and Hermonie had to go back to the castle to begin their prefect duties. Leaving Harry and Orion under a tree by the lake. The first couple of minutes the two pointed and laughed as they watched Malfoy being chased by a bunch of owls. He was still soaking wet, he had lost a shoe in the lake. SMACK! Malfoy just ran into a tree. Harry was crying with tears of laughter as Pansy Parkens tried to help him up and Crabbe and Goyle were swatting at the owls. After Malfoy ran inside the castle with the owls still in pursuit of him Harry finally began to talk.
"Seriously, can you take the curse off of him?" asked Harry. "No, really I can't" answered Orion through chuckles. "Even if I could I wouldn't let anyone know that. He really needs to be taught a lesson."
"I really need to talk you. This may sound crazy, but true. I can feel when Voldemort is feeling a lot of emotion. Also I have visions of what he is doing. More often now since the war has begun." Harry cleared his throat. "And Dumbledor-" Orion shuddered at the sound of his name. Not unlike when people hear Voldemorts name. Harry ignored it. "-Said that I am a Parselmouth because Voldemort is a Parselmouth. Like somehow I have taken some of his power. I was wondering since you have been exposed to Voldemort's power twice maybe you have the same connection as me." Harry looked a deep breath and waited fro her answer hopefully. Orion let out a long sigh and said"
"No, Harry. I'm sorry I don't." she replied
"But your powers there is no other way-" Orion cut him off.
"I'm not saying that Voldemort didn't give me my power. I'm saying I don't have a connection with him. I like having my power. I will be useful in the future." Harry looked at her confused.
"What do you mean by that?"
"I'm an extremely powerful Seer. I literarily know everything. I just have to look at a person and I know what is going to happen to them throughout their lifetime. Who they will marry, how many children they will have. I see what career they will have and I know how and when they will die. I'm telling you this because I know how far it will go. After Care of Magical Creatures you and Ron are going to go to the library where Hermonie will be. You are going to tell them everything I have told you. Neville Longbottom will accidentally over hear you, because he will trip over his school bag and drop everything he is holding. While he is picking up his things he will hear you. Don't worry he is not going to tell anyone."
Harry just looked at her. Then another question popped into his mind.
"Do you know how the war is going to turn out?" he asked quickly. She smiled at him.
"Yes, I know how the war is going to turn out. No I'm not going to tell you what happens. Once must not forget to live. And no, even if I told you everything now there is nothing you can do to change the future. The future is not here yet and cannot be changed." The bell and Orion stood up and walked to the castle. Harry couldn't believe what he had just heard. He was more disappointed more than anything. He had his hopes high that he had finally found someone to relate to. Someone that was going through the same thing he was. He decided that he wasn't going to dwell on it when he saw Ron running toward him, there was nothing he could do.
Harry and Ron met up with Hermonie in the library, Ron and Hermonie was in awe of what Harry was telling them. Harry looked up and saw Neville struggling with a pile of books in his arms. Then he looked down at the ground and saw Neville's bag lying in the middle of the floor. Harry stood up and moved it right next to the table. Ron and Hermonie were looking at him confused. He explained what Orion told him.
"If that is the case I don't think moving his bag is going to do anything," said Hermonie. "If she really does know everything maybe we can convince her to help the Ministry fined the Death Eaters and Voldemort, Ron get over it."
"What do you think she meant by 'you must not forget to live' asked Ron?
"Well, it would be like one would consistently thinking about the future and forget about the present." said Hermonie. The trio continued with their conversation heavily.
"Do you think she could help my parents?" asked Neville kneeing on the ground stuffing his books in his bag.
"How did you trip?" asked Harry.
"I tripped on my bag strap. Do you think she could help my parents?" he asked again with hopeful tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to over hear, it was an accident.
"Come sit with us Neville" said Hermonie. They went of with their discussion.
A week after Harry's talk with Orion things seemed to get worse for him. Snape was on his case twice as much as usual. He even gave him detention. For what Harry was not sure of, and Malfoy was trying to pick fights with every time he saw him. This was the first year Malfoy was getting physical without Crabbe and Goyle starting it for him. In fact he was rarely with Crabbe and Goyle anymore. Harry guessed it was because some way or another Crabbe or Goyle crushed him by accidentally ramming him into a wall or tripping and falling on him. His robes were always torn and dirty. His grades were falling, and it seemed that everywhere he went something was falling on his head. Many time he had to go to the Hospital Wing due to concussions.
"It will be OK," said Ron. Tomorrow is going to be our first Hogsmead visit. We will be able to avoid him. And I've got a bit of gold from Fred and George I plan to splurge."
Harry seemed to have forgotten his problems when entering the Three Broomsticks. Laughing and having a good time with Ron and Hermonie he didn't even notice someone watching him thought the window.
"Hello everyone" said Orion out of nowhere. The three jumped and then laughed. Orion sat next to Hermonie. She glanced down at her hand witch was almost touching Ron's and giggled. Obviously knowing what she was laughing about Ron and Hermonie quickly pulled away their hand and put them in their laps.
"So...um where have you been shopping at" said Ron quickly and looking at her shopping bags. Orion laughed again and said:
"The new little book store they just got done building. I took your advice Hermonie and bought Hogwarts, a History, Revised Hogwarts, a History, and Rerevised Hogwarts, a History it's a fascinating read."
Hermonie looked so happy to finally meet a person who showed interest in her books. The girls broke into debate about Hogwarts, a History.
"Why don't we go to Honey dukes" suggested Ron before the girls got to into their conversation. They agreed. No one noticed Orion's nervous glances at the window.
They were so close to Honeyduke when a filthy Malfoy pulled them into an alleyway. Apparently he fell in a few mud puddles.
"So we meet again, Mr. Potter" said a cold voice hiding in the shadows. The dark figure walked slowly into the open. It was Lucius Malfoy. He pulled out his wand.
"Draco here has told me a little about the prophecy that we wanted last year. That is very interesting. It is unfortunate that you and the Dark Lord cannot co-exist." Mr. Malfoy said with a sneer.
"How did you hear about it, Malfoy" asked Harry a little worried.
"I have my ways Potter" he answered with a sneer identical to his fathers.
Mr. Malfoy raised his wand and said "Crucio"
Harry, Ron, Hermonie, and Orion fell to their knees in unbelievable pain.
"I should kill you all now" said Mr. Malfoy with a laugh, "but I want to have a bit of fun first."
"Father, why are you doing this the Fitherpuff? She is not important." said Malfoy.
"She is a witness."
"But, couldn't you just put a Memory Charm on her?"
"Draco, you still have much to learn"
Out of nowhere a blue light struck Mr. Malfoy throughing him backward hitting the wall. Orion was on her feet leaning up against the wall.
Before Mr. Malfoy could react Orion hit him again,
"Interesting" whispered Mr. Malfoy before he vanished with a loud CRACK.
