Chapter 12: To All Ends of the Earth
Harry was walking in the Forbidden Forest during the night. He turned a corner and came to a clearing. He looked down and saw a wand lying on the ground. Bending down to pick it up, he examined it and recognized it as Lily's wand. He figured she was out here, but had no idea what possessed her to come into the Forbidden Forest. Harry wasn't even sure why he was there. He tried calling out to her,
"Lily! Lily, where are you?" But no one answered. He tried again.
"Lily!" This time, someone answered, in a voice he knew only too well, but wished he had never heard it before.
"You can call her, but she won't answer."
"Voldemort! What have you done with her?"
"I've taken her, if you want her back, you'll have to come for her."
"You've taken her to get to me?"
"Very good, Potter, honestly, what is it with Potters and stating the obvious?"
"Provoking me about my parents isn't going to work this time, Voldemort."
"I wasn't talking about your parents, boy. Try the generation after you." Harry looked at the eyes with utmost confusion on his face, and suddenly, he woke up. He noticed a light on the other side of his hangings. He pulled them back, and saw Blake's lamp was on, and he was lying on his back, staring at the ceiling. Harry said,
"Blake?" Blake turned his attention to his father, and Harry said,
"What's the matter?"
"I had a dream."
"Well, me too, what was yours about?"
"Voldemort has my sister. And he wants you and I to go after her. What was yours about?"
"The same thing, only he didn't mention you. Voldemort has the ability to see into your dreams too?" Blake nodded and said,
"One quality I wished I didn't possess."
"I know what you mean."
"I've been taking Occlumency classes to try and stop them, but of course, my teacher hates my father and my grandfather, so naturally, he hates me too."
"Snape is my Occlumency teacher. He went to school with my dad, and hated everything about him, so which is why he hates me too."
"What are we going to do?"
"First, we've got to go to Dumbledore." The next morning brought sunshine and a cloudless sky, like Mother Nature was totally oblivious to the events that occurred the previous night. After explaining their dreams to Hermione and Ron, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Blake made their way down to Dumbledore's office. They said the password and climbed the stairs. Dumbledore was at his desk when he heard the four enter. He said,
"Good morning." They all replied good morning. Blake said,
"Sir, Harry and I both had dreams last night concerning Voldemort." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and said,
"Indeed? What happened?" He looked at the four of them, and noticed someone was missing. He said,
"Where's Miss Carter?"
"Voldemort has her."
"You're sure of this, it isn't just Voldemort showing you that so you'll walk right into his hands, like last year?" Harry said,
"I don't know, sir. It may be." Blake said,
"If that were true, then where is Lily? She didn't come back from the Quidditch field when she went back for her sunglasses."
"We'll have the castle searched, in the meantime, don't do anything regretful." Dumbledore rose from his chair and all bodies in the office exited.
In the Common Room five minutes later, Blake was pacing back and forth, Harry was staring into space, Ron was staring at the floor, and Hermione was unwillingly drawn to watching Blake's movements, which were making her slightly nauseous. She said,
"Blake, will you please stop pacing, you're making me dizzy watching you, and I feel like I'm going to lose my breakfast." Blake stopped and said quietly,
"Sorry." Blake stood still for a moment, and then ran upstairs to his dormitory. He came back with his cloak and wand in hand. The trio watched him, waiting for an explanation. Blake noticed this, and said,
"I'm going to find her." Harry said,
"Blake, you don't even know she's out there."
"Well, she's not here, is she? And I know that she can't won't get lost in this castle or on the grounds."
"Blake, this is what Voldemort did to me last year. Show me capture of someone I care about, hoping I'll fall for it, when it's just a trap."
"I can't believe you, Harry, she's your dau...friend, and you're just going to sit here and let her suffer at the hands of Voldemort?"
"I'm not going anywhere until I find out what's going on! Going into that forest is just what Voldemort wants!"
"I'm going whether you're with me or not, but I need someone with me that knows what it's like to fight Voldemort. I'm not going to let my sister die in that forest because you're too stubborn to go after her."
"It's not that I refuse to go after her, Blake, it's just that I don't want to risk my life unless I know for sure that the reason is worth risking." Blake sighed, angry with his father, though it wasn't the first time, and said,
"Fine, if you don't go with me, then fine, I'm going by myself." He turned to leave, when Ron stood beside him. He said,
"I'm going too." Hermione got up and stood beside her son and said,
"As am I." They all looked at Harry and he sighed and said,
"You really believe that she's been taken?"
"Yes. It was in another dream I had a while back. Voldemort told me he would kill us, all of us. It was just a matter of time before he actually got one of us. She's my sister, Harry, I'd go to all ends of the earth to find her." Harry stood up and said,
"Well, let's go then." They made their way to the portrait hole, but Harry stopped Hermione. He said,
"Maybe you should stay here."
"Harry, you know me well enough to know that I'm not going to sit back here when I could be of help."
"But..."
"No buts, I'm going. I'll be fine." She gave him a kiss and exited the portrait hole. They all went down to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Before going in, they stared into the darkness of the trees. Harry took a deep breath and said,
"Well, let's go."
