Chapter 2 Acceptance
******************************************************************* A deadly silence rang throughout the kitchen.It seemed as if the whole world was now concentrating on Harry.His body froze, anger building inside of him.
*why* he thought.
*why is it ALWAYS me. Who made youngest seeker of the century? ME. Who
recovered the Sorcerers stone. ME? Who went down in the Chamber of secret and faced
off with Tom, ME? Just why is it ALWAYS me?*
Outside the door, Ron seemed to be thinking the same thing. His face turned the traditional Weasley red, he grimaced in disgust.
*Its Always Harry* Ron thought. *Always craving attention, maybe Snape was right.
And now because he always craves attention, the stupid prat is gonna end up killing
himself.*
Harry began to sob uncontrollably. It was now that he realized that he was never going to be normal. Nothing mattered anymore. He was destined to single-handedly face off with the most powerful of evils. The whole wizarding world and muggle world was now depending on him. Overwhelming feelings boiled in Harry.....
************************************************************* Hermione and Ron were listening intently outside the kitchen doors. It was amazing how much the twins' extendable ears worked in their advantage. Never having heard the prophecy before, they were shocked.
*How had Harry been dealing with this all this time?* Hermione thought.
* Poor Harry, I had no idea how...how strong he was. The fate of the world on his shoulders*
...He's too young...how can they do this to him!!!
It took Hermione only seconds to realize she had spoken her last thought aloud. It was obvious the Order had heard her, and her face was now burning bright red from both anger and embarrassment. Ron stood back behind still paralyzed in the spot from the news. Hermione noticing the silence in the kitchen, took this as her cue to enter and speak her mind.
"All of you, HOW DARE YOU!"
"He's too young! He's not ready! He should be having a normal summer right now. He should be playing Quidditch with his friends, and ..And thinking about his NEWTS and... and thinking about...guy stuff like snogging"
At her last comment, she blushed the color of Ron's hair.
She began to calm down realizing that yelling at professors was a NO in the rulebooks.
"All I am saying is that.....Harry is not ready......he'll die if he goes up against You-Kno- Er I mean Voldermort I just know he will."
Once Hermione had finished her outburst, the room still sat in silence. It was beginning to get uncomfortable, when finally a very solemn Dumbledore spoke up.
"Miss Granger, these are very desperate times. Believe me when I say that we have tried everything. I myself have tried to keep Harry out of trouble for many years, but fate is inevitable."
Again, a tear began to trickle down his poignant face.
******************************************************************** Harry who had now just been able to register everything was ready to speak. He tried as hard as possible to settle himself. He flattened his famous Potter hair and said
"I....I don't think I can"
"Hermione is right....I'm not ready. I reckon Voldermort will slaughter me if I go up against him....he's more...more powerful"
Ron had now decided to come take a spot next to Harry as every one still looked at Dumbledore for answers.
"Well Harry, you must understand that we will be training you for the occasion. Every
member from the Hogwarts staff will be giving you something special and will help you
the best we can. Should you contend, we would be training you as soon as possible in
various ways. And of course training will be vigorous and will begin promptly This is not
something to be taken lightly Harry; we understand what is fully at risk. And I assure
you, you will be fully informed, all the secrets everything we have been hiding from you,
will now be out in the open."
Harry who was suddenly interested in what information had been withheld and what he would be learning decided that he should voice his concerns.
"What will I be learn-....."
"In due time Harry" Dumbledore had cut him off.
"First we the order need to know if you accept and acknowledge you responsibility"
The whole room held their breath Hermione who didn't want Harry to be sent off into a hopeless battle had different thoughts on her mind.
*for the love of Merlin, Harry please say no...please....please*
Harry spoke "Y- aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhgggggggg
Harry who was also in deep thought was about to give his answer, when I a blinding pain filled his scar. It felt as if his head were being split open...pain...
The entire order whipped out their wands, but no one was nearly as quick as Dumbledore.
"Harry what is it?" asked a very worried Hermione.
Harry's eyes went scary silver and his body began descending towards the floor.
His body hit the ground, and before his eyes closed completely, he was able to utter one word.....
"Voldermort".
Several people from the order shuddered at the mention of his name, but they all rushed to Harry's aide. All of them pulled out their wands, but no one was quicker than Dumbledore. ************************************************************
Harry fell and fell, until he hit a very cold rough ground. He rubbed his scar for about 3 seconds before he realized what had happened.
A sense of fear drifted over him, and he whipped out his wand. And looked around.
He heard cries of laughter and of pain. And his scar began to hurt again. He fell to his knees grabbing his forhead. He closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them, they were met with the most unnerving sight. It was Voldemort, standing in front of what looked like hundreds and hundreds of Death Eaters. Harry shuffled to his feet, looking for a place to hide but found none.
*Can't they see me? I'm standing right in front of them all*
Harry cringed as Voldemort began to speak.
"My loyal followers," he said in a high-pitched cold voice. "Now is the time. This very day, so many years ago, I reign collapsed. But today, this very day I, Lord Voldemort, am back." The legion of Death Eaters began to laugh and cheer.
"SILENCE" shouted Voldemort.
"Bellatrix what news do you have for me?" Bellatrix broke rank and hurried forward
"My Lord the Potter child is broken. During the battle at the Ministry, I forced Sirius Black through the veil"
Voldemort nodded with approval
Harry's eyes darted towards the floor. It was true, his spirit was broken. He missed Sirius more than anything in the world.
Bellatrix continued, "The Order as they call it, was not able to retrieve him although we both know that they could have just-
Harry listened closely but he could feel the Order trying to pull him back through the other side.
******************************************************************** "He's trying to decline my help", Said Snape.
Harry was now able to hear both sides. It was like being in a middle dimension. A new thought came to Harry.
*Why isn't Snape at the Death Eater meeting* but that thought was quickly washed away as Harry was trying as hard as he could to listen to what Bellatrix was saying about how to bring Sirius back.
*Potter you fool come back* Snape thought.
Harry was now struggling to remain wherever he was.
"Good, good the boy is vulnerable, perfect. We must plan accordingly and quickly before Dumbledore decides to tell him anything. The old fool will never learn"
"Oh and Bellatrix?"
"Yes Dark Lord"
"CRUCIO" Voldemort yelled leaving the rest of the Death Eaters bewildered.
Voldemort started cursing people in all directions finally staring at the spot Harry was standing in. He smiled a sick twisted smile
*Can he see me* Harry thought, trembling.
Voldemort continued to smile, raised his wand and yelled "Crucio"
Harry gave in to Snape and returened back to his body and Number 12 Grimmauld Place.
His face and entire body was covered with sweat, and everyone present had a look of pale terror on their face.
Everyone looked from Dumbledore to Harry until Dumbledore finally broke the silence.
"I think its time for the first bit of explaining don't you?"
