Chapter 22: Page's True Power Comes to Light
She got up from the chair, and paced around the room. The old floorboards creaked under her foot and she walked along them. Centuries old they were. Students walking on them, they had been sent to the office for their punishment. Old headmasters and head mistresses also, walking on them thinking just like Page was doing. Too much cracked information that Page had got. Something was missing. And a connection to this exact date and time. And why Page? Why did he, Voldemort want Page more then Harry? The reason that Dumbledore had given Page was because to get to Harry. To kill off his protection, but Page knew that that wasn't the true answer. She stopped, and looked at Harry. He was following her around the room. He looked a little taken back when she saw him. Was he thinking the same thing? Page had to find that piece of paper that her mother gave to Minerva years ago. She bolted from the office and headed towards her office. She dodged a couple of students who looked terrified as she ran towards them, and nearly smacked into them. She got to her office, and quickly ran upstairs to find the parchment that mother had given her. She found it right at the bottom of her drawer, amongst books, and chocolate frog cards. She read the incantations which her mother thought could her Page embrace her true seer powers.
My Dearest Page, Your destiny lies within this ingredients and spells; I know you will find what you are looking for. Remember look ahead, not behind, look towards and never look back upon the door. Open them, open all the doors that you will see. I assure you, things aren't always, as they seem. Good Luck.
Page didn't have most of the ingredients that were listed and bolted down to the dungeons. Page didn't care about breaking into Snape's office, like he would miss these common ingredients.
"Skin of unicorn, essence of elderthorn, scrapings of krumknip (to be added in gently). Simmer for 10 minutes, then drink potion while in relaxed state of mind." Page said to herself. She knew that there could only be one place in the entire castle were her thoughts were to empower her. Professor Trelawney's classroom. As soon as she got the ingredients, she hurried of towards her classroom. Page remembered it well; she had been up there many times in her day. Although it was a different teacher, Professor Himdlysha, but still Page got a pretty good idea what to do. Out of breath and very hot, she reached the tower, and came right under the trap door in the ceiling. "Sybil, its me Page. Are you there?" Page shouted, craning her neck up, and trying to listen for footsteps. Very faint but indeed Sybil was up there. She door slowly opened and the steps came flying down to the ground. "Yes, I saw you were coming as I gazed into my crystal ball. Quickly dear hurry now!" She said is a misty voice. Page climbed the stairs and took to a table right in front of her. She laid out the ingredients, and asked for a cup. She then sat in a chintz chair, and tried to calm down. Sybil brought her a cup from her store cupboard and, Page poured in the potion. Sybil shut all the windows and blocked them out with the blackened curtains. "Do you want me to do anything else for you my dear?" She looked over her brim-rimmed glasses at Page. Page looked into her eyes and saw fear. She had never seen this kind of fear before. It was a yearning for fear, yearning for the worst to happen, but also in a situation like this Sybil would get more then she asked for. "No, but thank you. I would like you to just stand by, if you don't mind. Just in-case something goes wrong." Page took a shuddering breath and drained her cup. Page started to feel light-headed and she slowly sank into a deep trance. Her head felt clouded, swimming in this white mist, she felt herself floating amongst bright lights that were shimmering against the silver threads if the mist. As she passed these lights she felt different emotions each time, some happy which gave Page hope that she will find what she came to look for, other depressing and hurt Page, she felt she had to help. The brightest of lights came towards her, it started to turn into a figure of a woman, facial features started to appear and Page knew who is was. "Mother, I don't understand where am I?" Page's voice seemed nothing like her own, it sounded faint and far away, the figure of her mother smiled. "I thought you would have figured out where we are Page. We are in the realm of spirit. Souls from the magical world end up here. Only the truest of hearts manage to come up here. But we must act quickly. We all know what is going on down on earth. It's time you understand your true path. But there are people here who want to talk to you first." Page's mother then backed away, and three lights came towards her. Page didn't know who they were until they achieved their physical state. "Hello Page. You know who we are. Do not be afraid. Both you and Harry are in grave danger. You must tell Dumbledore to keep the Order away from the cottage, or he will fear the worst." Said Lilly Potter, her voice too sounded distant, Page felt her emotion, it was full of hope, but also she felt a great deal of loss. From photos and the visions Page got she knew she was telling the truth. James then stepped forwards, smiling at her; he put a hand on her shoulder. "Hello cousin-" he laughed, "-I know we never met, but our blood connection is very strong and so too is Harry's. Tell Harry that he can always reach us. But he needs you to do that. You two must connect with each other mentally and spiritually, and to do that you must both drink the potion that your mother gave you, hold hands and concentrate together. Lilly and me never expected things like this to happen. We tried to talk to Harry through the veil in the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic. It's a door where all souls go, a curtain to this place. But we never got a chance. Harry has gone through a lot Page. More then you have been told. His feelings are mostly to do with frustration and anger, and he must know that we are always with him-" James was interrupted by the third soul. None- other then Sirius himself. "Excuse me Prongs, but Harry knows that I'm with him as well. I feel his suffering and pain. And it's my fault that I left him." He appeared next to James. Beaming at her." "I never said that you didn't Padfoot. Merely that we are all looking out for him, we all have his best interests at heart. Oh and Page, tell Molly thank you for looking after Harry." With that James and Lilly became bright lights once more and floated out of sight. Sirius was left with Page. His once beaming face, saddened. And Page felt this. Page was told what had happened to him at the Ministry. And brining up the matter must hurt him still. "Sirius, Harry really needs you. Why couldn't you have stayed with him on earth, became a ghost? That's what he wanted. I still hear him shouting your name while he is asleep." Page said in anguish. "I know, but I couldn't stay down there. It would of hurt Harry more. And besides, now that you know how to reach us, it won't be a problem any more." He flickered a smile, turned into a light and floated away, but Page hadn't finished with him. "And what about Remus? Harry needs you Sirius, you have let him down." Page called after the light, which was his soul. It stopped, and turned around to face her. In a voice, which Page only heard through feelings. Sirius said, "Everything will be alright." And he swam out of vision. Page felt sad for him, he must feel awful not being with Harry. But like her said. Harry could see them whenever he wanted. Page's mother came into view again. "Page, when you reach earth, go and find Sir Nicolas. He has a letter for you, but you will have to let Dumbledore make it touchable for you. It will explain everything for Harry that James, Lilly and Sirius have written. As you know a letter from here can only be given to a spirit. They chose Nick, because he is very trustworthy. Page, thank you for embracing your true powers. You will find yourself more connected with this plane as well as your own. You will hear us when we call. The letter will explain how you can contact us. I have not got enough time to explain." Page reached for her mother, and they embraced. Page felt the world's feelings, everything from pain to sadness to happiness was flowing through her. As they let go, Page felt herself awaken, she saw her mother turn back into light, and the mist was slowly ebbing away, and a dark room came into view. Page was back down on earth with Sybil Trelawney by her side. Page had warm salty tears running down her face. She had embraced feelings that were not her own. Page took a deep breath and turned towards Sybil. "It's OK. I'm fine. Thank you Sybil. You have been a great help. I must go and find Nearly Headless Nick." Page grabbed her things, and headed for the trap door. "What did you see, did you see the great plane?" She looked alarmed by Page's enthusiasm. Page nodded. And Sybil clapped her hands to her mouth and fell into a chair, staring at her. Page smiled at her, and headed down the steps. She ran as fast as possible. Asking each ghost in turn were Nick was. Peeves however didn't want to tell her anything, and started to throw inkbottles at her. She ducked out of the way, and turned and ran right through Nearly Headless Nick. "Oh sorry. Page! I have been looking for you; we must go up to Dumbledore's office immediately." Page didn't need telling twice, and they both hurried along to his office. They reached the gargoyles, Nick glided on through them while Page gave them the password. "Chocolate Frogs" The gargoyles sprang aside, and the staircase came into view, Page ran up them like a Unicorn charging at Giant. Page rushed in and saw Nick Dumbledore, Minerva and Harry looking at the spirit letter, Page's mother had given Nick to take to Dumbledore. Dumbledore smiled at her, as she walked towards him. "What happened Professor? Why did you run out, where did you go?" Harry stood up now. He looked paler then ever. Page went over to him and hugged him. "Everything will be OK now Harry." Page started to cry and she brushed his hair out of his eyes, and she looked into them. "I have spoken to your parents, and Sirius. They are watching over you, and they know how you feel. Sirius is so upset; he didn't want to leave you. They told me that you should read the letter first. And when your ready, you can see them whenever you like." Page turned to Dumbledore and he nodded. Giving him the sign to turn the letter into a 'touchable state'. "I don't understand. How did you talk to them? They are dead, all of them are." Panic started to swell within him, and Page felt it. "It's alright Harry. Page is not lying to you. Her powers have grown to such an immense state, that she can communicate with people of the past, like your parents. They came to her, telling her of the dangers that await you, and also me. I presume Page?" "Yes, they told me that you should keep all members of the order away from the cottage, Voldemort will attack there first. They didn't tell me anything else. But they will keep me informed as the night progresses." Page sounded like a secret agent. She had never been the first person to know news; she was never news bearer. "I thought they might have said that. Right Sir Nicolas, shall we proceed?" Dumbledore asked him. "So we shall Dumbledore." "Right out you two, we best leave them a lone. It's a difficult spell, and I am not sure what will happen." Said Minerva, as she got up from her chair, and led them out of the office, into the hallway. "Harry, are you OK? You haven't spoken a word to me. Well, not much anyway." "I'm fine. I just don't understand why you got to talk to them and I didn't. There's nothing special about you. They aren't your family, their mine!" His voice was starting to rise. "Now, Potter. You shouldn't speak to Page like that. Where are your manners?" Minerva looked practically scandalised. "No, its OK Minerva. He has a right to be angry." Harry had enough and stormed down the steps, Page ran after him. She saw him run across to corridor towards Gryffindor tower. Page was never a good runner, Harry on the other hand ran so fast Page couldn't catch up with him. When she reached the fat lady, Page said the password, and the fat lady let her in. "Oh hello Professor, why are you in here?" A chubby face of Neville greeted her. "I'm looking for Harry, I know you have seen him. Where is he?" Page was very out of breath, but tried to keep a steady voice. "He told me not to say anything, but he's up in the boy's dormitory." He looked very guilty. "It's alright Neville. You don't have to feel upset. Harry needs to be told the truth. If he bolts down here again, will you stop him for me, he's a very quick runner?" He nodded, and she headed up towards the dormitory. Page didn't need Neville telling her Harry was up in his dormitory. Harry's yelling's could have been heard throughout the castle. Page opened the door, but had to duck, as a trunk nearly hit her. "For Merlin's sake Harry. Stop it!" Page shouted over the top of his voice. His face was red with anger, and frustration. This is what James, Lilly and Sirius was saying about him. Harry's bad temper had to stop now. Suddenly Page got a warm feeling from inside her, then a voice appeared. It was James. "Page, make him stop. He can't lose control. He has to accept this. Try and make him understand." "It's hard you know, I am trying, he won't listen. Why can't you talk to him."? Page said aloud. Harry had stopped shouting now, but looked at Page. "I don't need to talk to anyone, I want out. I don't need this anymore." Harry said. "Shut up Harry. I'm trying to listen to you're father." Page knew she shouldn't have said that. "Oh so you're talking to MY father, while you're just not listening to me. I AM NOT A CHILD ANYMORE. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON! Page had enough and with her wand pointed right to Harry's face shouted "SILENCIO". "Right. James, you were saying." "All you have to do it hold his hand, or his shoulder. Just make contact, and he'll be able to hear us." Page walked towards Harry, he started backing off. "No Harry, I'm not going to hurt you, you're parents want to talk to you. Now I will take the charm off, if you shut up and listen to them, of else I'll hex you, and give you to Snape. Got it?" He nodded. Page yet again pointed her wand at Harry and said, "Finete, Incartartem". Page then put her hand on his shoulder, and James voice appeared in her mind again. "Harry, its me, you're dad. Look, listen. I know this will be hard for you to understand but-" "Shut up James, you don't know how to talk to him. He'll think you're Voldemort in disguise." Sirius butted in. "Alright Harry. How are things on earth?" Harry moved away from Page. He looked stunned, shocked almost when he heard Sirius' voice. "It's OK Harry. It is him. He wants to talk to you." She re-connected the channel. This time Sirius sounded mean. "Ok Harry, stop this now, don't be such an idiot, just because you think you're worthless doesn't mean the rest of us don't. I'm sorry I left you. I didn't mean to. It was the thrill of a fight, I couldn't pass up." "I had no one. You left me with the Dursely's I had no way out. I hate you for that. I thought we could live together. You let me down." "I know, and I'm sorry Harry. I really am. But now we can talk to each other. As long as you and Page have this connection, we can talk like old times. What do you say?" "That's fine. But why didn't you stay on? Why did you go behind that Veil at the Ministry?" "Ahh good question, and one which I would love to tell you, but your err, mother wants a word with you. I won't be gone for long mate OK. We can talk later on. Bye Harry." "No wait Sirius." "Harry." "Mum?" "Harry. Remember to stay with Page she wants to help you. And please try to calm down. We can still see you up here. It's not good to have a temper Harry." Lilly laughed. "Mum, why won't people tell me what's going on, don't I have a right to know?" Harry asked earnestly. "You do Harry, but sometimes things are better left unsaid. You're father and I love you so much. And you look very much like him. We are so sorry to put this burden upon you. But Voldemort must be stopped, for the sake of the magical world and also the muggle world too. I have to go now Harry. Page will keep a channel open for you, in case you need to talk to us. We love you Harry. Don't forget that." Page's warm feeling ebbed away, and she knew the connection was severed.
She got up from the chair, and paced around the room. The old floorboards creaked under her foot and she walked along them. Centuries old they were. Students walking on them, they had been sent to the office for their punishment. Old headmasters and head mistresses also, walking on them thinking just like Page was doing.

We can still see you up here. It's not good to have a temper Harry." Lilly laughed. "Mum, why won't people tell me what's going on, don't I have a right to know?" Harry asked earnestly. "You do Harry, but sometimes things are better left unsaid. You're father and I love you so much. And you look very much like him. We are so sorry to put this burden upon you. But Voldemort must be stopped, for the sake of the magical world and also the muggle world too. I have to go now Harry. Page will keep a channel open for you, in case you need to talk to us. We love you Harry. Don't forget that." Page's warm feeling ebbed away, and she knew the connection was severed.
