Please enjoy fabricated spells!!! It's faux Latin gone horribly wrong!

Chapter 38:

Avilas waited till Harry had moved to the side with Snape before he began to speak.

"Repeat after me, then drink from the cup. Allohamora Cerebrum...Intra Visionae...Inverta Fortuna..."

"Allohamora Cerebrum...Intra Visionae...Inverta Fortuna." Michelle reached out for the cup. Drinking the potion, she handed the cup back to Avilas. He reached out with one hand, placing his fingers on the top of her head.

"A Seer you are born to be...accept the sight I give to thee...bear the burden of what you see...awaken the dream with clarity..."

Michelle felt something like a spark coming from Avilas' hand. Her eyes closed and she fell to the ground. She lay there for a moment. Sitting up slowly, she was ready to make a joke about her fall when she noticed the room had gone silent. Michelle stood. No one seemed to be moving. Harry and Snape were no longer standing near the wall like when the ceremony had started. They were pinned against it with some sort of binding that seemed to be coming from within the wall itself. Trelawney was near the table looking as though she were expecting something. Avilas was in a corner, but it was too dark to see what he was up to exactly. Michelle turned some more and almost screamed at what she saw.

She was standing in front of herself! More importantly, her other self was standing in front of Voldermort! Michelle pulled out her wand, but hesitated when she remembered no one was moving. Cautiously, she walked over to herself and Voldermort. Voldermort was standing behind her and had one hand holding the back of her head, as though he were supporting it. Her right arm was extended and the knife from her dream was in her hand.

The dream. This was it. The reason she could never see the other person in the dream was because the other person was herself. Seers aren't able to see themselves; it was sort of a moral catch. She'd always thought Voldermort was the one using the knife. Michelle studied him and herself more closely. She almost passed out when her other self began to speak.

"Sorta freaky isn't it?" The other her looked her in the eye.

A yelp flew out of Michelle's mouth. "Am I the only one who can hear you?"

"Duh."

"Oh yeah...my dream. What's going on here?"

"Voldermort has been working with Trelawney. He can not kill Potter with his own wand, so he is going to make you do it for him. He is going to control you like he controlled the Seers when he was in power."

"I am so stupid! Could I have walked into this more?" Michelle began to pace. "I stop this how?"

"Remember the phrase from the dream?"

"Sure."

"You will have one moment to utter it. You will have one chance to control the knife. Voldermort will give you that chance without realizing it. You must stay in your mind enough to feel when that chance presents itself."

"Can't I stop Voldermort from appearing in the first place?"

"No, it's too late. He is already here."

"Then why isn't Harry's scar burning?"

"The Dementors are making Potter too weak. Voldermort has waited till you passed out before apperating into the room."

"How will Harry and Snape get out?"

"There is another here who will help them..."

"Avilas."

"Dumbledore has him in place for just such an emergency."

"Okay, I wait for my chance, say the phrase, then what?"

"Then you are done."

"And Voldermort?"

"He will not be able to follow you."

Michelle grew quiet as everything she'd been told was processed by her mind.

"I'm not going to make it am I?"

"I can only tell you what you have seen in your dream. I don't know what is going to happen beyond that dream."

"Great. Blow my Seer wad in one shot. When do we get this started?"

"Very soon now. One more thing, the other dream...Trelawney was the Seer who told Voldermort a boy would be born who could destroy him. She told him to spare her own life. She did not know Harry's name, but she knew enough to lead Voldermort to him." The other Michelle smiled. "Good luck."

Author's note: Okay, I'm sure you probably won't believe me, but I actually did guess that Trelawney was the one who knew about the boy who could destroy Voldermort. The situation is very different of course, but I figured Dumbledore was keeping her at Hogwarts for some reason...it certainly wasn't because she was a great teacher. Given her prediction in book 3, I just went for the idea that she had made another prediction regarding Voldermort and Harry. I almost fell over when it was revealed she had made a prophecy in Book 5. Like I said, you probably won't believe me, but it is true.
