Chapter 17: Harry's Death-Clairvoyant
Harry stood there staring at Lucius in the eye's.
"So Potter. You actually fell for it! Ha. Lord Voldemort will be pleased when he finds out you're dead. And I will have my payback, for you sending me to Azkaban." Lucius said with a cold, evil laughs.
"So, it was a lie. You never knew my mom then." Harry stated as he looked at Gertrude, who was behind the door.
"Of course I knew you're mom. You were never friends with her. But I knew her. And I loathed her. Always hanging out with James. It mad me sick." She replied with disgust.
"Now, Gertrude. Kill him now."
"No, I'll let him see a real Death-clairvoyant. So he knows exactly what it's like. After all reading on it won't give you a good idea." Gertrude said while raising her wand.
"Acio" Lucius yelled, and Harry's wand flew over to him.
"Crucio!" Gertrude said.
Harry fell to the floor in pain. Then Gertrude raised her wand again. This time Harry could not hear what the incantation was. But he saw this bright black light rushing towards him. He was stuck; he couldn't move to get out of the way. The as it hit him he collapsed to the floor. But Gertrude and Lucius could not do any more, cause at that moment they heard heavy foot steps and knew it was Dumbledore.
They rushed to the fire place and disappeared.
Dumbledore and Professor McGonigall came rushing in and Hermione followed.
"Oh, no. Is he alright Albus?" McGonigal asked.
"He is very weak. We must take him to the hospital wing." And with that he conjured a stretcher and floated Harry to the Hospital wing.
In the hospital wing Ron was finally getting better. Although he was sleeping when they walked in. They discovered a potion that could bring Ron's mind back to his body, and re-link them. As they set Harry down on a near by bed Ron woke up.
"What? What happened to him?" he asked Hermione who came up to hi and gave him a hug.
"Gertrude did it. But they got away. But Ron, I'm so glad you're awake." She sobbed.
"It's ok Hermione."
"All I could think about while you were out was, wel, you." She said.
"Really?" Ron asked stunded.
"Yeah, I love you Ron." She said quietly. "I realize that now."
"Yeah, you're not the only one. In that darkness I only thought of you. Trying to come back. But what exactly happened to Harry?" he asked again.
"I don't know." Dumbledore said to him.
"He has been hit with the Death-Clairvoyant curse. If he doesn't realize it soon, he'll die."
"No Albus. We have to do something." McGonigall said.
"We can do nothing. It's up to Harry now." Dumbledore said.
Harry was in complete darkness. He had no idea where he was. Then he saw a green light come from some where, and decided to follow. He stopped when he saw Sirius standing on the other side of a hole in the ground. He could not get over to him because of this well.
"Sirius? Is that you?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, it's me. I've been waiting for you."
"You have? But why?"
"To take you with me! I've been trapped here ever since I fell through the veil."
"Oh, Sirius. I'm sorry. I tried to help you. But Remus wouldn't let me." Harry said.
"Jump over to me Harry. We can go down there together. We will never be apart." Sirius urged.
"Why are so insisting I go down there with you?" Harry asked.
"Because. It's our destiny to go down there together." Sirius replied.
Harry thought for a moment. Sirius would never believe in destiny, he never did. Harry thought that there was something wrong.
"Who are you really?" he asked it.
"I'm Sirius, you're godfather. Now come over to me." It said even ore insistently.
"No! You're not my godfather. Sirius never believed in destiny. And he would never try to make me jump in to this pit and die." Harry stated.
Then he remembered what he had read about the death-Clairvoyant. Harry stepped away from the pit or well or what ever it was.
"Stop, you will come with me. It is you're time. You must go down there now." It said furiously.
It jumped over to Harry held him tight. It made its way to the rim of the pit.
In the hospital wing, Harry was getting worse. He was sweating like mad. And was beginning to run a fever. He was slowly dieing.
"He's dieing!" Hermione sobbed to Ron.
"You must have faith in Harry." Professor Dumbledore said to her.
Harry was struggling to get free. Just as the thing pushed him, he bent over and it fell in instead. But Harry was till wobbling at the edge. Trying to remain standing. He fell back on his back, and sighed with relief. But how was he to get out?
