Chapter Nine -- Visions

Julianna was being extra careful the whole week for not having detentions especially with Snape. Once or twice she was tempted to answer back his snide hints about Sirius but Hermione and Ron was there to restrain her.

"There, finished!" Julianna said as she held up her parchment.

"Wait, I'm almost there." Ron said.

"You two never changed! Professor Snape gave this homework the other day and if I didn't remind you about it, you'll be ending in detention tomorrow."

"Who wants to do his homework anyway?" Ron said as he held up his parchment, "Finished at last."

"Hurry up Ron, Angelina will have our hides if we're not there in 5 minutes." Julianna said as she grabbed their brooms.

===========================================================

"You're late." Angelina scowled.

"Sorry," they said and started to mount their brooms.

"I'm expecting you to do great today, after all Professor Black will be looking over for us." She said and pointed at her right then she blushed and so did Julianna.

"W-where's Madam Hooch?" Jullianna squeaked nervously.

"Got hit by the Bludger in Slytherin practice, well, go on, get going!"

After 15 minutes of practice Angelina called it a break.

"What do you think you're doing, Potter?"

"Sorry."

"Sorry? You're pathetic out there! Is that what you want to show your godfather? You're suppose to swerve, dive, amaze him!"

"Well that maybe the exact reason why she's not - er - doing her best today." Ron defended.

"Eh? What was that?" Angelina asked.

"Can't you see she's nervous? How would you feel if your parents are here?"

"Well, I'll be nervous too," Angelina whispered." But…but that's what I want you guys to master. Concentrate! Concentrate!"

"It's not that easy - " Ron said.

"I'm fine, let's fly." Jullianna said and flew up with great speed.

"You heard her, GO!"

I can't let them notice. I can't let him notice. Concentrate. Concentrate. Julianna told herself as she dived again gaining on the snitch.

Almost there… almost there. She stretched her right arm narrowly hitting the wild Bludger. Suddenly her head ache, no, not her head, her scar. She ignored it for a while but the pain increased tremendously. She missed the snitch and she swerved to the left to go after it again. It was scorching.. her scar.. she was having blurry visions…

"Julianna! Julianna!" a familiar voice said and she felt her body being lifted.

Something ached but she didn't care, she wanted to be unconscious… to sleep… but her visions. She knew she was being carried to the hospital wing… she had to say something but she drifted to unconsciousness again.

My scar… Voldemort… Mum… Dad…

===========================================================

She awoke later that evening. She was alone in the hospital wing and she groaned as she remembered what had happened. She wanted someone to talk to. Scar… Voldemort. She started to rise but her body was weak. She felt bandages on her forehead she looked at the water basin beside her bed and saw blood stained in the bandages.

"Hey Julianna, are you awake?"

"Ron? Hermione?"

The two appeared behind the curtains.

"What - never mind, I need to talk to Dumbledore.. my scar -"

"We know," then they looked at each other nervously, "it was bleeding."

"What? Oh this, no I must've hit something - "

"Julianna believe us, when Madam Pomprey was cleaning it you were twitching and it wouldn't stop bleeding." Hermione said.

"You should've seen Sirius, he went all white. You were moaning and was saying something we didn't understand."

"It was bleeding?" Julianna shivered, "I still need to talk to Dumbledore."

"Er- he's busy at the moment."

"But I need to -"

"He seemed to understand what you said. Before we knew it he was sending orders to Sirius, Professor McGonagall and we were led outside. Mum is outside. Uhh - what exactly happened?"

"My scar hurt when I was going for the snitch and then I saw - er - visions." She hesitated.

"I told you to practice blocking your mind -"

"Hermione!" Ron said, "And?" he turned to Julianna.

"I think I saw a bunch of people. There were large ones. The giants I guess."

Ron shivered.

"And I saw Mum and Dad suddenly, I couldn't remember much but I saw a bunch of people."

"Well that's enough, all of you." Mrs. Weasley came into the scene, "Julianna, you need to rest, dear. And the same goes for you two."

"Mrs. Weasley, what happened?" Julianna asked boldly, "Where is everybody? Where's… where's Sirius?"

"Julianna, you need to rest."

"Mrs. Weasley, please!"

Mrs. Weasley hesitated for a moment, "Well…"

"Mum! Tell us! There's no point hiding it now."

"Oh, all right!" Mrs. Weasley said in defeat. "You.. how should I say this, you were not yourself.. you were being possessed. You were Vold-" she gulped, "You-Know-Who, you were talking, you seem to be sending out orders to the Death Eaters."

"What did I say?" Julianna was not surprise to hear this.

"You.. I mean he was ordering them to attack the Department of Ministry."
