Chapter Six
Cordelia was trying to bath Connor when she had another vision. She panicked and tried to lift Connor out of the bath so nothing would happen to him. She laid him on the floor on the towel she had ready and waited for the pain. The vision came but it was accompanied by what felt like a migraine.
She smiled. She wasn't sure what to do about these visions. She was taking notes about them all. They were all very similar. There was a weird guy, definite big bad potential. He was always surrounded by followers, way too many for her liking.
She looked around the room. Wondering when it got so light in there. Only the light wasn't coming from the window or the bulb. It was coming from her.
"Hmm, I've got the glowy thing down, when do I start floating? I'm sure it didn't take this long last time"
She picked up Connor and when he was settled in bed she began to make notes about this vision. She hated the army of people following this guy. She was pretty certain they were people, even if they were totally covered in hoods. She was getting dangerous vibes from the followers. She was worried; Angel couldn't fight a whole army by himself.
She stopped to think about this. Angel? She had never thought about Angel during her visions. She had always vaguely thought about Angel during the visions. Even when he had sacked them and they were dealing with the visions themselves. She tried to recall all her recent visions. Who had been there instead of Angel? Then it came like she had always known it.
"Drake and Harry" she said aloud. But wait, wasn't Drake evil? But he couldn't be evil if the powers were sending her visions for him.
As thought this she got two more visions, one straight after the other. She saw Harry as a little boy, his mother dying for him, and big bad guy was the one doing the killing. She saw all the times Harry had faced him and won. Then she saw as he nearly lost. Things were stepped up and he was sent into hiding.
The second vision was Drake. She saw his father's involvement with big bad guy. She saw as Drake joined his ranks, then as he turned against him and became a spy. She saw him give it all up for Harry, even felt how much he though he was an idiot for doing it. Then she saw how much big bad wanted him dead too, and he was sent into hiding with Harry.
Through all this she also understood what they were. "Wizards" she said quietly, "Cool" --------------
"So are you going to do that memory charm on her or what?" said Harry, seeing that Draco was still there when he should be at Cordelia's
"I am, I'm just about to go but, are you sure I have to?" asked Draco
"Yes, she saw you doing magic; we're supposed to be muggles remember? Muggles don't do magic. If she goes running around screaming about us doing magic then chances are we will be caught and killed. I am not going to make these last two months of hell with you totally in vain"
"OK I'll go" he said getting up. He opened the door to find Cordelia standing there with Connor in her arms. "That was easy" he said "What are you doing here?"
"I left some of Connors stuff here. And you're not evil" she replied
"You worked that out how?"
"Divine Intervention" she replied simply
"Excuse me?" he said
"The PTBs told me" she said. He looked confused "The powers that be"
"Right, you have a lot of conversations with them?" Oh God, he'd gone and fallen for a lunatic. Way to go Malfoy.
"I wouldn't call them conversations. They send me visions, I curse and scream at them, and there was this thing in the future which may never happen anymore where I was a higher being, but that's a different story"
"You're a seer?" said Harry, from behind Draco
"Yes" she said surprised, "Hey that was easy" She walked into the house and sat down on the sofa "Well next order of business, you two get to be champions!"
"Champions?" said Draco looking blank. Again.
"Warriors of light. Chosen good guys and all that other crap. Ok so someone's trying to kill you both right?" she asked
Harry glared at Draco. "I didn't tell her" he said with his hands up.
"No, the PTBs did, were you even listening to me?"
"We were" said Harry, "But didn't really follow, can you start again please?"
"OK, I'm a seer. I get visions from the PTBs, whoever they may be. I get to see all these bad things happening in 3D surround sound complete with actually feeling it all. It sucks. I tell my champion about these things, he fights whatever it is needs to be fought. You two are my new champions"
"So you get a different champion for every vision?" asked Harry. He was the one who was really following all this, Draco was still confused.
"No. Up until now I've only had one champion, and as far as I know the seer I got the visions from only had that champion too. He's in LA, I'm not. You get to fight snake guy"
This caught both of their attentions. "Snake guy? Voldemort?" asked Draco
"I didn't get a name. I don't usually; they're more about the visuals than the written. Speaking of I wrote everything down from all the visions I've had since I got here" she got out a plain notebook and handed it to Harry who was closest.
He flicked through it; most of the visions were similar. "They're all Voldemort. The 'wiggy robed guys' are the death eaters"
Cordelia turned to Draco "You used to be one?" she said softly, but it wasn't really a question. She knew already.
He nodded gently, without looking at her,
"Yeah" she said reverting to 'Queen C' mode. "Well don't brood about it. Last thing I need is another tortured champion who spends all his spare time reflecting on past sins in the dark"
That wasn't the response Draco had been expecting. "Do you know what I've done?" he said, yes he was trying to forget it and not 'brood', but sometimes he did, generally when he was alone in the dark.
"Yes" she replied. "Look at the notebook. I saw the lot, my most recent vision, straight after the life of Harry Potter, was the life of Draco Malfoy. I'm assuming the Drake Mannings thing was your cover story"
"Yeah"
"OK, here's the general feel I've been getting. This Voldy guy needs to be fought quickly. Right now you're hiding and that's nice for you all" said Cordelia "But you're just giving him time. You two have to lead the attack, and quickly, he's planning something big and bad, you have to kill him first"
"I hate seers" mumbled Harry
"Hey!" said Cordelia
"Don't mind him, it's just because the Divination teacher at school gave him weekly updates on his upcoming death"
"You guys didn't go to a normal school did you?" remarked Cordelia.
"That would be one way of putting it" grinned Draco.
