Chapter 10
The Dream
Flashback
After a few minutes of silence, Susan said that she was going to bed. Harry stayed in the Common Room. Soon he was the only one there. He fell asleep in the armchair, having another one of his visions of Voldemort.
Flashback Ends
...Now lets continue from he was having a dream about Voldemort...
He saw Voldemort and a man that was tied to a chair. The scene looked quite gruesome. There were blood and body parts everywhere.
[Yes, I mean body parts, like arms, legs, and heads]
"Now, are you going to tell me or not?"
"Never." The man gasped.
Voldemort cackled. "Bravery. Unfortunately for you, in your situation, you can't afford bravery if you don't want pain."
"You won't make me tell." Said the man. He had lifted his head. He looked really bad. He had scratches and bruises all over his body and face. He looked even worse than Sirius did when he broke out of Azkaban.
"Well, seeing that I won't be able to squeeze anything out of you, what curse should I use?" said Voldemort.
The man said nothing.
"Well, let's see. Maybe Crucio? Or Avada? Or—
"Master, the curse is ready." Said one of the Death Eaters. It sounded like a woman. She was very short and had a high girly voice.
{{{Can you guess who?}}}
"Excellent Dolores. Now have you checked to see if it worked?"
"Not yet master. We need a volunteer."
"I have already found one." Voldemort pointed the man.
Umbrige left and soon came back with a goblet that had some grayish substance inside. She and L.V. whispered quietly. Then L.V. took the goblet and put it on the wooden table. He muttered some words and the substance in the goblet disappeared.
"The curse is completed. Now lets see how it works." Said L.V, turning to the man.
"Jellambrae!"
Nothing happened. Then suddenly the man screamed. He was turning into some hairy animal. His hands began growing long black claws. He ripped his shirt because of long spiky metal needles that were growing out of his chest, stomach and back. He had a tale that looked very much from a dragon, only much smaller. His legs were getting larger and his feet looked like they were from a dinosaur. The man screamed again. His teeth were growing into fangs. After a little more transformation, he was completed.
"Excellent, now lets test him. Bring in a hostage." Said L.V.
Umbrige left and then came back, dragging a little child of about 6 years of age along.
L.V. turned to the man-creature. "Can you hear me?"
The creature nodded and growled.
"Good. Now break out of the ropes that are tied to you."
The creature broke the metal chains that were tying him down effortlessly.
"Good. Now kill this kid."
With another growl, the creature pounced on the little child.
The last thing that Harry saw was the look of terror on the child's face, and the scream that pierced the night, before the creature killed the little boy.
"Harry, Harry, wake up."
Somebody was slapping Harry on the face. He turned onto his side and moaned. He was on the Common Room floor and somebody was slapping him on his face. he realized it was Hermione.
"Hermione, stop slapping me." Said Harry, finally getting off the floor.
"Oh thank god you're all right." Said Susan, hugging him tightly so Harry had once again fallen onto the floor.
"Get off me." He said.
"Oh, right." Susan stopped hugging him and helped him get up again.
"Harry, are you okay?" said Hermione.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"What happened?" asked Susan.
"I saw Voldemort. And he was torturing some man."
"Well, that's nothing new. But why were you twitching and jerking so horribly? You looked like you were having a heart attack." Said Hermione.
"You should have seen the way he was torturing him. He prepared some potion, did something funny with it, then said a curse and the man turned into-into a beast."
"A beast? That's impossible. There's no potion or curse that could do that. I've looked it up." Said Hermione.
"But yet he did." Said Harry.
"Maybe you should go to Dumbledore right now." Suggested Susan.
"At this time of night? He's probably sleeping."
"Maybe you should go." Said Hermione.
"Look, we don't even know who the man was. I mean, if we knew him, then there'd be something to worry about."
"Did he have a medallion that had a carved phoenix on it?" asked Susan.
Harry struggled to remember. "Umm, I'm not sure." Then he remembered the part where the man-beast broke the chains. There was something glinting on his chest. Harry struggled to remember what it looked like. It had the shape of a bird. "Wait, he did have a medallion."
"Then he was a member of the Order. Harry, go to Dumbledore, this is important." Said Hermione.
"Yeah, we'll come with you."
"That's all right, I'll go by myself." Said Harry.
"Then we'll wait for you here." Said Susan, sitting down on the sofa.
"All right." Said Harry. He opened the portrait hole and got out. The whole way he walked to Dumbledore's office, he was in daze. Who was that man? He finally reached the gargoyle.
"Um, chocolate frog?"
the gargoyle didn't move.
"Pumpkin Pastry?"
"Bertie Bots every flavor beans?"
still no movement.
"Umm, what else? Honeyduke's chocolate? No, okay, ummm, Skiving Snack boxes?"
Harry was about to turn back when someone stopped him.
"Hold it right there, sonny." Said Filch.
Harry stopped.
"What are you doing up at this time of night?"
"Please sir, I need to see Professor Dumbledore, it's an emergency." Said Harry.
"An emergency, eh? Well you still shouldn't be wandering the halls at this time of night. Let's see, maybe detention for a week will teach you a lesson."
Both of them heard a pair of feet walking down the hall. They turned to look.
"Mr. Potter, what are you doing up so late?" Asked McGonagall.
"I needed to go see Professor Dumbledore, it's an emergency."
"What kind of emergency?"
"Please professor, I had a vision of Voldemort and—
"All right, I'll let you go this time. But next time, try not to have an emergency in the middle of the night." McGonagall turned to go back to her office.
"Um, professor, could you—
"Oh yes, of course Mr. Potter. Custard Crème."
The gargoyle opened to reveal a staircase.
"Thank you Professor." Said Harry, turning to climb the stairs.
"No problem."
Harry started climbing the stairs. Soon he arrived at a door. He gently knocked on it.
"Come in." said a voice.
Harry came in.
"Hello Harry. Please have a seat."
A/N: Why hello again. Aren't you glad that I posted this chapter? Well, I am. So who do you think the man was? Is he
A) Dumbledore's brother, Aberworth. He was captured by Death Eaters to be experimented on and tortured by L.V. for information or something else. He was believed to be on a top secret mission.
B) Hermione's long lost Uncle who was a wizard but then disappeared and no one saw him ever again for a long time. But he still lives and had found some very important information that L.V. needed. He was in the Order and only Dumbledore knew about him. He was also on a mission when he was taken by L.V.
C)Ron's brother, Charlie, who was on Order business when L.V. kidnapped him. The Order still thinks that he's on his mission so they haven't been searching for him.
Now all of these are possibilities. I made up B but the rest have true facts. Like Dumbledore does have a brother and Ron does have a brother. However, I don't know if Aberworth was still alive, it didn't say in the book, but lets pretend he is.
Once again, give me your rating for this fic. Remember, 1-2 is Very Bad. 3- 4 is Bad. 5-6 is Okay. 7-8 is Good. And 9-10 is Excellent.
