Harry Potter and the Icons of Myth

-------------------------------------
Author's Note: This is my first Harry Potter fanfic, I know there'll be a couple times I may lose my way so bear with me. I'm not J.K. Rowling so be kind when you review.
Also I do not own the rights to Harry Potter or any of his co-stars. The situation and a few guests to the Harry Potter world are from my warped mind.
I warn you now this is rated R just to be on the safe side I'm used to writing action/adventure comics with.Ahem gratuitous violence.

Harry Potter and the Icons of Myth Chapter 1: The Messenger
"Somehow I always end up in the medical wing." Harry grumbled.
"At least you're not alone." Ron added as he got up to get a drink of water. He limped over to it.
"Ron's right Harry. Ron you shouldn't get up you're gonna hurt yourself again if you're not careful."
"I'll be fine 'Mione. Don't worry so much and anyway Pompfrey said we might be able to leave before dinner." At that Hermione just laid back and rolled her eyes at him.
Why must guys be so pigheaded? She really needed to get her mind off of stupid Ron.
"So Harry what was your dream about?"
"It was really different from the others I've had."
"How? Was You-Know-Who dancing around in a pink Tutu?"
Harry and Ron visibly paled before the mental image sent them all into peels of hysteric laughter. A stern looking Madame Pompfrey gave them a very evil glare before heading back into her office.
"But seriously though, how was it different?"
"Voldemort." Ron flinched before Harry once again continued. "Voldemort was about to kill this couple before an owl dropped off a letter. Then he smiled this hideous smile and apparated away."
"Weird. Where do you think he's gone?"
"No tellin' but it's gotta be something big for him not to finish off the couple before he left."
"Harry you should tell Dumbledore."
"I will when I see him at dinner...that is if we can get outta here first."
Putting their heads together they came up with a plan, to be as disagreeable as they could with Madame Pompfrey. In the end she threatened to call Filch if they didn't leave immediately. So the trio made their way back to Gryffindor Tower. When they got to the Portrait of the Fat Lady she was sitting in her chair sleep.
"Beetle Juice." Said Ron but she kept on sleeping. "Beetle Juice." Still nothing happened then he screamed, "BEETLE JUICE!" The Fat Lady fell backwards out of her chair her legs in the air and her bloomers showing. The portrait hole opened. They headed to their dorms to get ready for dinner.
-------------------------------------
They were lucky to make it down to the Great Hall without incident. On the way they Draco Malfoy and his cronies Crabbe and Goyle were lurking in the wing waiting to start some trouble. So they had to take the long way around to make it to dinner.
"Stupid git who does that bouncing ferret think he is." Ron was fussing to Harry as the three of them took a seat at the Gryffindor table. The group began stuffing themselves with roast beef. A few moments later Filch rushed in and over to Dumbledore. After a brief exchange Dumbledore nodded and Filch left.
Everyone in the Great Hall was curious to know what Filch had said when in strode a black cloaked figure. From the dark outward appearance the figure resembled a DeathEater. Harry stiffened at the sight instantly being put on his guard. The figure stopped and pulled back his hood. Underneath was a tan skinned man with braided hair. A large raven entered the hall and alighted on his shoulder.
Dumbledore stood to greet their mysterious guest but Snape spoke first. "Who are you and what is your business here?"
The man turned and pierced Snape with menacing gaze before turning back to Dumbledore. "You are Albus Dumbledore." This was a statement not a question.
"And you are?"
"I am Jacob Marlow."
"What brings you to Hogwarts?"
"Cassiopeia." At that Dumbledore's eyes flicker to Harry's and back to Jacob's.
"Come with me Mr. Marlow. I think we should talk in private." Jacob follows Dumbledore out of the Great Hall leaving a tide of murmuring in their wake.

What message does Jacob bring? What does it have to do with Harry? Why is Dumbledore so spooked?
Please review criticism is welcome if it is constructive. Tell me if I should continue.
