Harry Potter and the Servant of Lord Voldemort
-Chapter 3-
Strange Things Are Happening

"Are you serious? She said there's a trap at Hogwarts?" Asked Hermione.

"Well, I'm not sure, she said just the word Hogwarts and then trap after that. I guess Voldemort set a trap for me at Hogwarts," said Harry.

"Please say You-know-Who!!" Complained Ron.

"Anyway, she kept saying for me to stay away from her but I don't know why. She told me the same thing in my dream. But when I saw her for real, I asked why her. But she didn't answer. She just kept mumbling about him, watch out for her and him, and she kept saying my name. I don't know what's wrong with her."

"But it couldn't have been her, right? I mean, you did say she disappeared when we came," said Ron.

"Yeah.... Hermione? Do you know what Michelle looks like?" Asked Harry.

"Yes, but it's hard to explain," answered Hermione.

"Do you have a picture of her or anything?"

"No, sorry Harry."

"It's all right. Thanks anyway."

"LUNCH IS READY!!!" Called Mrs. Weasley from downstairs.

"Well, we better be going before Mum starts screaming at the top of her lungs," said Ron.

(The Next Day)

"Come on guys!! We're going to be late!!" Said Mrs. Weasley who was calling everybody to come downstairs! Mrs. Weasley already got everybody stuff down and is waiting for everybody to get down.

Harry was running downstairs with Ron and Hermione. They had to rush before they miss the train to Hogwarts. When they got downstairs, they all grabbed a toast since they didn't really have time for breakfast. Hermione wanted to know how Harry slept last night. But then again, Harry hasn't been getting any sleep ever since he got to Ron's house.

"Did you sleep well?" Asked Hermione.

"Not really," answered Harry.

"Well, maybe your dreams might reveal more once we go on the train," said Ron.

"Yeah, maybe."

"All right! Hurry up, we can't be late!!!" Said Mrs. Weasley.

(On the train)

"That was close," said Ron after they found a room on the train. Ron sat by Harry while Hermione sat by herself. They started to catch their breaths when they finally sat down. "I can't believe we almost missed the train!"

"I know! If only your brothers wouldn't fool around, we wouldn't have been short of breath," said Hermione. "Anyway, Harry? Maybe after a few minutes we can search the rooms for Michelle?"

"No thanks, I would want to search for her at the feast. Is she in the house of Gryffindor?" Asked Harry.

"Yes, it turns out she is."

"Well, the girl in my dream was in the house of Gryffindor too."

"Do you think it could be some kind of connection?" Asked Ron.

"Between Michelle and the girl in Harry's dreams? Probably so..." said Hermione.

"Let's talk about something else," said Harry. But they didn't talk about anything else. It was filled with silence. Harry was thinking about going to sleep until they get to Hogwarts. But he didn't get to sleep because there was a knock on the open sliding door.

"Excuse me? Is it okay if I can sit in here? The rest is full, actually there was one with Malfoy but I didn't want to go with that jerk," said a voice.

"Sure, it's okay..." Harry stopped talking as soon as he saw the person's face. A girl...it's the same girl from his dream, the same face and the same voice. It's her!! The same girl, he couldn't believe he has finally seen her. Harry didn't say anything as he watched her sit by Hermione.

"Hey Hermione," said the girl.

"Long time no see, huh, Michelle?" Asked Hermione.

"Yeah, it's been awhile," said Michelle.

"[That's Michelle!? Michelle was the one going into my dreams all along!?]" Said Harry.

Ron smiled and let out his hand to Michelle. "My name is Ron, it's a pleasure to meet you," said Ron. Michelle took his hand and shook it and smiled at him.

Harry didn't say anything, the same brown wavy/curly hair that is a little below the shoulders, the same innocent, hazel eyes just like in his dreams. The same innocent, beautiful voice he keeps hearing in his dreams and the voice behind Ron's house. He couldn't believe he has finally met her. The one Hermione was talking about at Ron's house.

"So are you ready to go back to Hogwarts, Michelle?" Asked Hermione.

"Yes and no," answered Michelle.

"Why no?" Asked Ron.

"For many reasons that I don't want to reveal right now," answered Michelle. "Maybe later on in the up coming year."

"One question, did you mention Malfoy having an extra seat?" Asked Ron.

"Yes, with two other guys but I didn't want to sit next to Malfoy because he's a jerk!"

"I agree!!"

Harry needed to talk to Hermione and Ron before the conversation goes onto a little further. But he's searching a good spot for them to stop talking so he can interrupt to talk with Hermione and Ron outside of the room. But where would be the good place to stop at? But he couldn't take it anymore so he just stood up.

"Hermione? Ron? Can I talk to you guys? Excuse us, we'll be right back," said Harry. Okay, it may not be a good place to stop at but he needs to stop them sooner better then later. Hermione and Ron got up and headed out first, but Harry pushed them out. Before leaving, he said, "We'll be right back!"

"Sure thing, Harry," said Michelle.

How did she know his name?

"How did you know my name?" Asked Harry.

"Everyone knows you were the one who escaped from You-Know-Who so it's easy to tell who you are," answered Michelle.

"By my scar?"

"No, I saw you the day when we all got into Hogwarts."

Harry just stared at her for a second and then pushed Hermione and Ron all the way out of the room. But the strange thing is, it's like she knows him very well.

"What are you doing?" Asked Hermione after Harry closed the door for their room.

"Michelle is the girl!" Answered Harry.

"Yeah, she's the girl you have a crush on right?" Questioned Ron.

"No, I mean Michelle is the girl from my dreams and the one from behind Ron's house!"

"Are you sure about this Harry?" Asked Hermione.

"Hermione! You said Michelle might fit the description of the girl in my dreams! And she does, completely!! Same voice, same face, same eyes and the same hair!!"

"Harry, you're overacting!"

"Yes, maybe you should talk to her," said Hermione.

"Why me?" Asked Harry.

"Because you need to know more about her!" Said Ron.

"All right, but don't leave me too long to stay with her, okay?"

"We won't!"

Harry inhaled a deep breath and opened the sliding door. He saw Michelle looking out the window at the beautiful blue sky. Harry looked at it for a second until Hermione told Michelle something. "We'll be right back Michelle! We're going to try and get some snacks for all of us," said Hermione.

Michelle nodded at Hermione and she and Ron left the room, closing the sliding door. Now he was alone with Michelle, what should he talk about with her? He shouldn't question with the questions he wanted to ask before. Just questions that the answers are the answers so he can know her better. He sat across from her looking out the window too.

"Beautiful sky, isn't it?" Asked Michelle. Although she wasn't looking directly at Harry. But he looked at her and smiled, finally making some progress.

"Yes, very beautiful," answered Harry.

"I think...the blue sky shows peace and that nothing is going to happen. Nothing bad."

"How about rainy days?"

"Depression."

"Night?"

"Darkness, like something evil is about to happen at any moment."

That's right, everything of what happened except last year, happened at night. The time when he found the Sorcerer's Stone, The Chamber of Secrets and the time when they have to rescue Sirius. All of that happened at night, and he didn't realize that.

"How about snow?"

"I don't know that one. I haven't thought of that much because I hardly see snow."

"Only the time when we're at Hogwarts."

"Very true! The only thing I know is the blue sky and the snow is my favorite thing. I just hate the rain; it always brings depression in me every time I hear it or see it."

Harry was actually smiling with her. He never knew how much a free spirit Michelle can be. But she never was in his dream, why was that? In his dream she was so secretive. It's strange, he has seen her a couple of times but has never known her name. It's strange that he knows her name but has never seen her and that he has seen her but has yet not known her name. Really strange.

"You know, I have wanted to actually meet you and talk with you. I always wanted that," said Michelle. She still didn't look at Harry but she was blushing while she was looking at the blue sky. "I heard rumors about you from Malfoy, he keeps filling me in on some rubbish things and I never believed him because I knew that was not true." Harry saw her blushing but had no idea why. He actually thought he was going to question her but instead he's having a great conversation with her.

He enjoyed laughing with her and smiling with her. He actually likes talking to her. But now is the time with the questions he's been meaning to ask her. Actually, to tell her about the dreams he's been having.

"You know, this is going to sound weird, but I have been having these dreams ever since the summer started. I keep having the same dreams over and over again that I keep waking up in the middle of the night. The only thing that drove me crazy is that you didn't tell me your name and that you kept saying for me to stay away from you. I have no idea why."

There was silence filling the room again. Harry wasn't looking at her when he told her that. He wasn't sure how she would react to that. But after a few minutes, he looked at her and all he saw was Michelle looking out the window. Did she even heard what he said about her? Was she trying to ignore him?

"Sorry, I know it's impolite not to make eye contact with a new friend," said Michelle, and then she looked at him. "I heard what you said. But, I would rather talk about something else. I don't know what happened in your dreams so there is no need for me to know, right?"

"Um, I guess," said Harry. But suddenly his hands were trembling, why were they trembling? Was it because of her or Voldemort? He didn't know. All of a sudden, he saw hand covered his hand. He looked at the person who covered his hand. "What?"

"It's okay...everything will be fine. Trust me..."

"[Those two words, they're the same words she said before she was attacked by dementors...]"

Then Michelle slid her hand away from Harry's and smiled at him, he smiled back. And that's when Hermione and Ron came in. They got snacks for everybody in there. Some good chocolate frogs for everybody. Michelle thought it was delicious. Everything started to get back to normal, except for the fact that Harry wanted to question her more because of the dream. All of a sudden everything is happening because Michelle is here with them.

Will everything in the dream come true? Is that the main question? But later about halfway until Hogwarts, Michelle and Harry fell asleep, next to the window with their own blankets. Hermione and Ron dare not to disturb them so they talked to each other for the rest of the way. But Harry doesn't know anything because he had the same dream again.
