Ch. 4 Another DreamThe Veil.
It was standing there in the Department of Mysteries, fluttering innocently. No one would have ever guessed it had claimed the life of a man.
The voices.
They were there. Clear, so that anyone could hear them.
"He cannot stay," a voice hissed.
"But he cannot go back," a second said.
"He must," a third voice said.
"He must go back, he isn't dead."
"But he isn't alive."
"He is stunned. He is alive."
"He is to go back. It is decided."
But the veil was swirling out of view.
* * *
Harry awoke with a start.
It was a dream, he told himself.
He's dead and you know ,it so stop it!
Harry looked around. He was in the guest room, where he, Ron, Fred, and George were sleeping on the floor. The digital clock in the corner said it was 7:30. He decided to get up and go downstairs, still wondering about the dream.
When he got there he saw Mrs. Granger making eggs, bacon, toast and a ton of other food for breakfast. Ginny was helping as well.
"Good morning," Harry said as he walked in.
"Hello, Harry," said Ginny.
"Would you like to help?" asked Mrs. Granger.
Harry nodded as he started putting pieces of bread in the toaster. They all worked in silence for a few minutes while Harry thought about his dream and Ginny figured out how to work the muggle appliances.
Stop thinking about it, he told himself, it was a dream and that's all.
Remember last time you thought a dream was real? Besides, No on else could hear the voices just you and your imagination.
Luna could, He argued with himself, She could hear the voices.
"Oh, shoot," Mrs. Granger said irritably as she dropped the eggs, "Well I guess I'll get some more from the market. Would you two mind cleaning this up? Thanks."
And with that she went out the door. Harry sighed and got the mop.
"Ick. I think I have a new appreciation for muggles. They can't even vanish it," Ginny moaned.
"Yeah, but I've got loads of practice from staying with the Dursley's, "Harry sighed.
"It must be awful there," she said, mopping, "Why does Dumbledore make you go back there?"
"It's because I'm protected there," Harry said, "Because my mum died to save me and so because it's her sister and this whole complicated thing, I'm safe there. Voldemort can't get me."
Ginny winced at the name but then said, "No, you know what? I've decided to say his name. It's stupid. You say it, Hermione does, Dumbledore, Remus does, and Sir-," she looked at Harry quickly, "and seriously it's stupid. I'm going to say it. V-Voldemort. There. I said it."
Harry smiled at her.
"But why did V-Voldemort want to kill you in the first place?" she asked.
"It's because-," There was no use lying to her.
"Listen, I'll tell you, but you have to swear on your life that you won't tell anyone."
"What about Ron or Hermione? I'm sure they already know-"
"No, they don't," Harry said calmly.
"Why not? And you're telling me?"
"They never asked," Harry said, simply.
"Ok well I swear on Fred's life that I won't tell anyone."
Harry took a deep breath. "The reason Voldemort wants to kill me is because of a prophecy that was made sixteen years ago."
He went on to explain about the prophecy.
When he was done, Ginny stared at him.
"So, your either going to be murdered or you're going to murder?"
Harry smiled weakly.
"Say Ginny, you wouldn't know where Luna Lovegood stays during the summer would you?"
"Why?" Ginny asked as if he were crazy.
"Because…I've been hearing voices."
Ginny stared at him.
"No I mean in my head."
Ginny continued staring.
"I've been hearing voices arguing inside my head."
"Um Harry are you alright?"
"You remember the veil in the Department of Mysteries? The one where Sir-Sirius fell through?"
Ginny nodded.
"Remember when I wouldn't go? Well it was because there were voices coming from it. Luna could hear them too and she seemed to know about them."
"Well, what did you want to know?" asked Ginny, interested.
"I just had a dream," Harry picked a mop and started mopping again, "The voices were talking- arguing –but it was just a dream- last time when I thought a dream was true- but her mother – she said- she could hear her- I'd figured I asked if she knew if they were true- but…"
Harry wasn't speaking in complete sentences, but Ginny seemed to grasp most of it.
"Well, during the summer I think she stays with her father is New York."
"Morning, everyone," yawned Ron as he entered the kitchen, "What happed here?"
"Mrs. Granger dropped the eggs. She went to get more."
"Kay," said Ron.
"And she told me that Hermione will be back today, Ron, so you might want to go get all hansom-"
"Oh, shut up," he said, ears going red.
The door opened and Mrs. Granger walked in.
"Done yet?" she asked with a crate of eggs.
"We'll take that," said two voices from the doorway.
"Accio eggs," said Fred and the eggs flew into a jar that Fred was holding out.
"New product idea," muttered George. Ron looked as if he was going to ask than decided that he really didn't want to know. Rather like Mr. Weasley, actually.
"Well, I've really got to go pick up Hermione. She's supposed to use a port key to get to a little while away from here. See you all in a while." And with that she left.
"Oh, yeah, Harry," said Fred digging in his pocket. He handed Harry a white enveloped with the Ministry seal, "Came for you this morning."
"What'd you do now?" George asked looking rather excited.
"No idea," Harry said as he stuffed it in his pocket. He didn't want everyone reading it if it contained information about- well, he wasn't sure. He just knew that it should be private.
For the rest of the day, they all mostly hang around the house playing chess, talking about the upcoming school year, and as Ron plainly stated to Harry, wondering if there was the slightest chance of having a normal year at Hogwarts.
They figured it would never happen.
They were right.
