hope you enjoy the chapter and remember to give me any input you might
have! Thanks!!!! ~GodessAthena
Ginny's eyes jerked open and she looked around her. She was standing in a field with rolling green hills as far as she could see. It reminded her of her trip to Ireland last year when she went to see her aunt.
"It is coming."
Ginny jumped at the intruding voice. She whirled around and saw the woman from her vision in Ollivander's. She gulped audibly.
"Is this real?" she hadn't actually meant to say that out loud, it just slipped from her mouth.
The woman laughed, walking toward her, and stopping right in front of her face. She was the same height as Ginny, so they were looking directly into each other's eyes.
"You know who I am?" The question was more like a statement, but Ginny felt she should answer anyway.
"Are you Danu?" Ginny's eyes glanced down at the woman's white gauzy dress and then at her own attire. She was still in her red, flannel night gown. 'How did I get here? Is this all a dream? It seems too real' she thought as she brought her gaze back to the woman.
The woman laughed again. It sounded like bells and she wondered if that's how her own laugh sounded. "I are you!" Her laughter died down after a short while and she stared directly into Ginny's eyes. "A name is of no consequence." She was still smiling at Ginny. She seemed to enjoy Ginny's confusion, which made Ginny a bit peeved.
She frowned at the older woman. "Why am I here?" She asked gesturing around her.
"You need my help."
'Well that was a great answer. Could she be any more vague?' Ginny's annoyance was on the rise.
"Need help with what?" she was trying to leave her voice flat, but heard a bit of her annoyance seeping out.
The woman's smile never faltered. "Something is coming to Hogwarts. It brings grave danger to those around you."
Ginny frowned. 'How can she say something so disturbing and still keep that stupid smile on her face, like she was saying "there won't be finals this year?"'
"What is coming?"
"It is an ancient creature that brings death where ever it goes."
Ginny's stomach dropped. 'Why does all the bad shit always have to happen when things just start to look up?' She sighed and turned her back toward the woman as she sat down in the soft grass. "Are you real?" It was a question that had been bugging her since the time at Ollivander's. Was she going to have this "other person" taking up home in her mind for the rest of her life?
She heard the other woman walk up next to her and sit down with a sigh, almost identical to Ginny's.
"I am you, you are I." She paused for a moment, looking out over the sea of green. "We are one. You see me as another person, but I am not. I am merely your subconscious. When you find your identity and become more comfortable with your true self, your subconscious and conscious will become one." She paused again, but this time took longer to continue.
Ginny watched the woman as she stared out before her. She was watching herself. It felt so weird, to say the very least. She wondered if she was going to look like that when she got older. She couldn't have been more than thirty years old, but her eyes seemed older, wiser, more troubled. But somehow, she seemed to have an air of life and happiness about her. 'What sorts of evils had she seen, or even done? What joys had she had? What sadness had fallen upon her?' She continued to ponder her past life, when the woman turned to her.
"You will understand more than you ever thought possible. The world will open up for you. Nothing will ever be the same." She had sadness etched into her features and her voice. Ginny stopped breathing momentarily shocked at the intense sadness.
'Well, this can't be good.'
The woman stood up and reached her hand out to help Ginny up. When she was upright, Ginny looked into the woman's eyes again. They were burning red, just like she had seen her own eyes do in the mirror a few days ago. However, the look was one of intense sadness and what seemed to be fear. Ginny was growing ever tenser.
"Be careful, young one, to not fall." Her words were simple and short, but they stung.
'What is that supposed to mean?'
The woman's face softened slightly and she grasped Ginny in a hug. Ginny's body filled with warmth. It was odd, hugging herself, but she felt almost "whole". She squeezed tightly until the woman released her and smiled, backing away.
