Oh my! It is ever so good to get my computer back! Sigh. Well I apologize profusely for any agony I may have caused laughs maniacally then laughs at her own optimism. Anyway...yes if there is anyone who was wondering why I haven't been posting (other than KrystalFox my faithful noter! Btw thank you for all your reviews!!! It inspires me to write more!) I love reviews! Even if they are from the utmost critics, as long as they aren't hurtful messages. But there I go I suppose I could ramble on forever. YOU probably just want to get on to the next chapter. Well here goes...the moment you've been all waiting for! Enjoy!
Chapter 7
"So everything is going the way we planned then?"
"Y-y-y-e-s my lord." Replied a small chubby cowering man with...was it a metal hand?!? The person at his side went to speak in a low drawl to the inquirer, "If everything goes as planned, Potter will be as good as dead before the boy is done."
"Make sure he doesn't finish him off for good. I want to see him beg for mercy."
"Yes Sir."
Jack wasn't sure whether it was a dream or not when he awoke, but as
he opened his eyes he still couldn't get the look of murderous rage in
the demanding man's eyes, as his servants (Jack guessed by the way
their voice seem to quiver whenever he was near) gave him news of
their plan. He wondered whether the "boy" they were talking about was
him, and this Potter kid, the last name sounded familiar. And then it
came to him. There was a boy about his age on the train to school that
he was sure had the last name Potter. Would it be him they were
talking about? It must be. That's horrible if they want me to get this
Potter guy. I wonder why. Why me? He thought. While he thought this,
Jack observed his surroundings. He was in a forest clearing, standing
around him were the same masked figures he remembered from the train.
He wondered if escaping was even worth thinking about. These people
were extremely powerful in a way that Jack had never thought possible.
He had seen them do very strange and horrible things. Especially the
one who seemed to be their leader. "My lord" they called him, or the
dark lord they called him in passing. Jack had seen him torture a man
when he wasn't pleased, without even lifting a finger. No one stood in
the way of this "dark lord". No one.
"Oh I see the brat's awake." Said one of the masked figures. Jack
could tell it was a woman because of the voice behind the mask. "Lets
have some fun!" by her tone Jack could tell that this wasn't going to
be fun. He saw her raise what he now knew they referred to as a wand.
As Jack heard the masked figure telling their boss that he didn't have
one. He heard her mutter something under her breath, and all of a
sudden he felt the most excrutionating pain he ever or would ever
feel.
"Where was I?" asked Professor Dumbledore sitting down again. He had
been interrupted by the entrance of a group of what the others had
called Slytheryns (Kitty had heard Harry mutter something about a
"slimy git" under his breath and wondered at that comment). A familiar
blondie was being carried by a group of sluggish dumb looking boys had
come to the nurse claiming that they had just come in from an early
"Quidditch" practice, and that their "Seeker" had been injured by a
"Bludger". Hermione had explained to Kitty throughout the confusion
that Quidditch was a game played on – and Kitty had to take a double
take – broomsticks, in the air, and that a Seeker was a position on a
Quidditch team.
"Strange," Kitty over heard Harry say in a whisper to Hermione,
"Quidditch practice normally doesn't start until after Halloween, and
it's nowhere near the start of October.
"You were telling me what happened the night I lost my memory
Professor." Said Kitty.
"Oh yes well...You were heading to yet another year of school on the
train when it was somehow intercepted by Death Eaters who are -."
"Supporters of Voldemort." Said Harry under his breath.
"This really bad wizard right?" Kitty shuddered at how child like that
came out.
"Yes...Well I don't really know how they did it...but they somehow were
able to apparate onto the train."
"Apparate?" inquired Kitty.
"Yes," replied Dumbledore, "It's a form of transportation only used by
a witch or wizard that has reached the age of seventeen. They
disappear at one spot and appear at another of which they had decided
upon earlier. It's a very difficult form of magic. It needs a lot of
training. Anyway...usually nobody can apparate onto or off of the
train...but they did... and they brought along with them Dementors." At
the look of confusion on Kitty's face, Hermione explained that they
were these dark ghostly creatures that had no face and made people
recall their worst memories. "They're really horrible." Added Harry,
"Thankfully I know how to ward a Dementor off. Just takes a Patronus
charm." Kitty assumed that this was some sort of wizarding shield and
just decided to hear the whole story before she asked questions. "Ron
foolishly tried to take on a Death Eater that came after me while I
was trying to fend off the Dementors...but, well you can see what
happened to him...That's what a Cruciatus curse does, causes you pain."
"A wizard can do that?" asked an astonished Kitty.
"Yes as long as they have a wand...They can do just about anything they
want! No matter how wrong it is." Replied a grim Hermione.
"That's horrible!"
"Yes well unfortunately...that's what they do..."
"Too bad the Order wasn't there though, any idea what happened to them
Professor?" inquired Harry.
"A mere miscalculation Harry. Our sources told us that he was going to
be at another place at another time...Unfortunately, they decided to
forgo that plan and move a day earlier. Another mistake like that and
we might as well stop trying completely..." Dumbledore explained
solemnly.
"What is the order?"
"It is a group that work to fight against Voldemort," Harry explained.
We all are members of it."
"What do you have to do to join the Order?"
At Kitty's question, Dumbledore chuckled. "Oh Ms.Cummings, you still
have a far way to go before we could even think about letting you do
such a thing!"
Sighs well I have been meaning to do that for about a month now! I am
really sorry that didn't come sooner but oh man computers are really
quite dreadful things! I've had it back now for about two days and
well...I have been so busy. I hoped you enjoyed it! Another chapter
should be making its way online in another couple of days, but I
promise you it won't take a month this time!
