Harry Potter and the Servant of Lord Voldemort
-Chapter 4-
First Night Has Gone Bad

Harry couldn't move when she kissed him. Why did she kiss him in the first place? Is there any need for her to kiss him? As soon as Michelle removed her lips from his she gave him a big hug. It's like she never wants to let go because she was holding on to him really tight. Harry was frozen and didn't know if he should hug her back or leave her be.

Suddenly he was feeling guilty again and just wrapped his arms around her, giving her a hug too. At this moment, Harry didn't want to leg go because of Voldemort. He can destroy her if he wants to since she is forced to be his servant. He knows that Michelle doesn't want any of that. But, she's only trying to protect him from herself and Voldemort. He understands Voldemort but why herself?

That's when her arms loosened around his neck and then he started to let go too. She smiled at him but for some reason, he didn't smile back at her. That's when she turned around and just ran...away from him. Is she afraid of him? Is she afraid to go near him? Harry probably guesses that she'll do anything to protect him, even risk her own life like she does in his dreams.

What's he going to do now? Now that he has finally met the girl who has been coming into his dreams, what is he really going to do? He has finally met her and now he doesn't know what to do. All he can do is watch her very closely since he knows who she is now. What can he do to know more about her? Is she really a servant of Lord Voldemort? Or is it someone else?

But all of a sudden, he felt darkness took over him. He looked around and saw everything is still normal, but he was feeling weak and couldn't move. Darkness was trying to kill him in his heart. Why attack his heart? Why does the darkness attack his hear? He fell to his knees, his hand clutching to his robe and in front of his heart, one hand on the ground to keep his balance.

"Come back..." said Harry. He needs her help. He needs her to help him get rid of this pain in his heart. "[Why isn't she coming back?]" Harry just saw Michelle running away further and further away. He was really getting scared. Who's going to save him now? Any minute now the darkness will kill him. Why isn't anyone coming? "Michelle...come back."

Since she's the only one near him, he had no choice but to call for her. But she's not coming back. This isn't good.

"COME BACK!!!"

"HARRY!!!" Harry woke up again, couldn't breathe for a second, why is all of this happening to him. For a second there he thought he felt the same pain like he did in that dream. Maybe Mr. Weasley is right, the more he gets closer to Hogwarts the more the dream reveals. "Harry, did you had that dream again?"

He looked at the people with him. Ron, Hermione and Michelle were staring at him. Did they hear him scream out again?

"You were saying in your sleep 'come back' and we were all getting worried. Are you alright?" Asked Michelle

"I'm fine, just a horrible nightmare," answered Harry.

"Same dream?" Asked Ron.

"Yes, it wasn't pretty. I'll tell you guys later."

Suddenly, Harry just heard a sound of pain, and he saw Michelle grabbed her wrist tightly. He saw her eyes closed, maybe it's because she couldn't handle the pain in her wrist. Or is it in her wrist?

"Excuse me!" Michelle rushed out of there. Slid the door open and closed it again and ran in the halls. Hermione, Ron, and Harry were really confused. What just happened there?

"What happened?" Asked Ron, confusedly.

"I don't know, maybe she just needed to go," said Harry.

"Probably not, she was clutching onto her wrist so tightly. It didn't look like she had to go," said Hermione.

"Maybe she's..."

"Shh! I think she's coming back!" Said Hermione.

They all heard slow footsteps coming back to them. They saw the door slide open, Michelle came back in the room and she closed the door. She didn't look ill, but Hermione looked at Michelle strangely. What's going on? She pulled the blanket over her as soon as she sat next to Hermione. Hermione was still looking at her strangely, but why?

"Okay, she's fast asleep. I need to tell you something," said Hermione.

"What?" Asked Ron and Harry.

"Didn't you notice anything different when she came in?"

"No," said Ron and Harry again.

"I saw a cut, a big cute on her arm. It wasn't there before. And when she sat down, I saw a blood stain on shirt. Doesn't that sound suspicious to you guys?"

"Yes," said Harry.

"I guess," said Ron.

"Guys look...." Hermione was pointing at Michelle's blanket. The saw a red spot, very red spot. Hermione used her finger to touch the red spot. "Guys, she's still bleeding. This is blood; her blood is going through the blanket." Hermione removed the blanket from Michelle, and they saw Michelle's arm still bleeding. "See?"

"Yes, but did she cut herself or something?" Asked Ron.

"I don't know, Ron. But whatever it is, it's not pretty either."

Harry couldn't believe what he saw. Is that why she ran off like that? All because she knew she was going to bleed? Did she cut herself for real? He'll ask her later, once they have gotten to Hogwarts. He's waiting to long, soon he will get all the answers.

(Hogwarts, feast time!)

Dumbledore was at the stand, getting ready to say something before the feast starts. "I, Albus, Dumbledore, is here to give out a special announcement. As we all know that You-Know-Who is revived once again, we have extra guards at the castle. You may only be out of the castle only in the day time, usually, You-Know-Who would want to attack at night. So if I were you, have your wand with you at all times if you want to survive.

"Now please enjoy the feast!!"

Everyone started to grab the foods laid on the table. Some grabbed chicken legs and started to bite the skin off and eat the meat. Everyone was starving to death!!

But Harry on the other hand wasn't eating yet. He was looking at Michelle's arm, right now it was bandage. He wanted to ask her what's wrong. Ron was sitting by him like always, and Michelle and Hermione were sitting next to each other in front of them. Harry thought now would be the perfect time to question her since everybody else is too busy eating the feast.

"Michelle?"

"Yes, Harry?" Asked Michelle.

"What was with that cut on your arm?"

Michelle dropped her chicken leg on her plate, and didn't say a word. Hermione saw her and stopped for a minute, waiting for her answer. But there was no answer. There was silence between them, except that everybody else was too busy talking.

"Well...." Michelle started.

"Hermione told us she saw a blood stain on your shirt. Then there was a blood stain on the blanket you were using," said Harry.

"There was a blood stain on the blanket?" Harry nodded to her. Ron stopped eating too, wanting to know what's wrong with this girl. "Actually, I don't want to talk about it. Now is not the time for me to say anything yet. We have just met and already you're starting to question me, Harry."

"I know, but I just wanted to know."

"You'll all know when the time is right." And she continues eating, and so did everybody else. But Harry was eating very little tonight. He'll probably figure out more later on. But, the dream he had on the train. The part when darkness was covering him, that never happened before. Is it because he's getting nearer Michelle, or it's just that now he's at Hogwarts and that the dream will reveal more in the up coming year.

Why was all of this happening so fast? But then all of a sudden, Michelle got a up again and ran out of the main hall. Only Hermione, Ron and Harry noticed her. Malfoy noticed her too and started to follow her out of the main hall too. Hermione, Ron and Harry watched Malfoy leave.

"Is there something I should know between them?" Asked Ron.

"I have no idea. Maybe Malfoy has some sort of crush on Michelle," said Harry.

"If he did he would be probably following her everywhere. But I thought Malfoy hates all Gryffindor people," said Hermione.

"That's what I thought too. But it looks like he likes someone from our house. I mean, she is attractive and everything, but very mysterious," said Ron.

"What? You have a crush on her now?" Asked Hermione.

"No! I'm just saying that she's attractive enough to attract guys like Malfoy. What do you think of her, Harry?"

"I don't know. She's very mysterious and suspicious. It seems like she doesn't want to reveal anything about herself," said Harry.

"Yeah, you're probably right."

"Look, here they come!" Said Hermione.

They saw Malfoy came in first, not looking to happy about anything. Michelle came in right after Malfoy and joined with Hermione, Ron and Harry again. But something was different once again; there was a small cut on top of her right hand. Harry wanted to ask another question. "Michelle? What did Malfoy do to you?"

"That is none of your business!!" Angered Michelle.

Harry flinched at her tone of voice. Her voice was different, it was like she was a different person. What happened to her? What did Malfoy do to her in just about few minutes? He must have done something to make her this mad.

But then, that's when Malfoy came to the Gryffindor table, where Michelle is sitting. Michelle stood up when she saw him, looking at him straight in the eye with a mean look on her face. Something wasn't right. "I told you to go away!!" Angered Michelle.

"Hey, I only wanted to know why you didn't sit by me on the train," said Malfoy.

"Because you're a jerk! Who would want to sit by a jerky guy like you!?"

"That is no way to talk to a guy like me. You know my dad is..."

"Everyone knows what your dad is, and who cares!! I don't! So leave me alone!!"

Everyone was starting to stare at them while Malfoy reaches for her hand. But she slapped his hand before he even touched it. "Relax, I'm not harmful," said Malfoy.

"No, but you're a jerk! So go away!"

"Why won't you answer my question!"

"I already did, jerk-off!"

"Is it because you have a crush on someone?"

"Yes, in fact I do!"

"[I wonder who it is...]" said Harry.

"Well? Aren't you going to tell me?" Asked Malfoy.

"If I told you, you wouldn't like it," said Michelle.

"Try me."

Michelle put a smirk on her face. "It's Potter! Harry Potter from the Gryffindor House!!"

"[What!?]" Questioned Harry.

"WHAT!?" Angered Malfoy. "Potter must have brain washed you or something. There's no way you would have a crush on him."

"Too bad, because I do," said Michelle.

Malfoy snatched her wrist and was starting to squeeze it hard from Harry's view. "You will NOT have a crush on him! You will have a crush on me!!"

Just then, Michelle just gave him a punch in the face. He let go of his wrist and fell to the floor. Everybody gasped when Malfoy fell to the floor. A couple people from his house came to help him up and to get him back to his table. Hermione, Ron and Harry couldn't believe what just happened. Hermione was like the only one who punched/slap him in the third year. She felt all right about it.

But what about Michelle. Maybe she punched him for the same reason as Hermione did. Hermione couldn't take it that Malfoy wouldn't shut up about Hagrid, Michelle must've really wanted to punch him. He did try to force her to do what he wanted to do. And it wasn't right at all. That's not a way to treat a lady after all.

But then, Dumbledore stood up and walked down the steps to walk to Michelle. She was still staring at Malfoy angrily. She must've really hated him. "Excuse me, Miss Bitting," said Dumbledore.

Michelle turned around with the same mean look on her face. "What!? Oh, it's just you, Professor," said Michelle.

"Can I see you in my office?" He asked.

"Sure, whatever!" Dumbledore started to head out of the main hall. Michelle started to follow but put her hand on her forehead. Was she getting a headache? After she put her hand down, she turned to Hermione, Ron and Harry, who had confused looks on their faces. "Harry....Hermione....Ron! I'll explain everything later! Please excuse me!"

Michelle seems to be back to normal, she had that sweet, innocent voice back and she had that innocent look on her face. Was she normal again? Michelle started to run after Dumbledore, still leaving Hermione, Ron and Harry with confused looks on their faces.

"Did you see that?" Asked Ron.

"Kind of, Michelle was angry and mean for a second and then she was sweet and innocent again. What happened to her?" Questioned Hermione.

"It could be connected to my dreams. Michelle did say she has a dark side of herself that You-Know-Who created. She must be telling the truth in the dream but in real life?" Said Harry.

"You're saying that dark side was taking over Michelle?" Asked Ron.

"Probably."

"Then, when Michelle left us at the table and came back, she must've let her dark side took over. It must be one of the reasons why Malfoy was questioning her," said Hermione.

"Could be," said Ron.

"We'll find out later tonight when she comes back," said Harry.

And so they continued eating. Although, Harry can't help thinking about Michelle's reaction though. It was weird, first she went all out punching girl, then she's back to her normal-self. What IS going on here?

(Gryffindor House/Dormitory)

Everybody was asleep except for Hermione, Ron and Harry. They were waiting by the fireplace for Michelle to come back. Ever since they came in there, they have been waiting by the fireplace. Hermione was reading a book on new spells, Ron and Harry was playing chess. Ron was winning so far.

It's almost eleven o'clock, and that's when the door opened. They all stopped what they're doing and looked at the person who was coming in the doorway. Michelle looked really tired, she first fell to her knees and started to breathe slowly. Harry and Ron got up to help her on a chair and sat in their chair.

"Did Dumbledore do something to you?" Asked Ron.

"No, there are just a lot of steps to climb," answered Michelle.

"What happened to you and Dumbledore?" Asked Hermione.

"I...just told him about what's wrong with me," she answered. "And, he doesn't want me to tell you guys yet. Only when the time is right, I'll be able to tell you."

"Why can't we know?" Asked Harry.

"It's too soon. That's what Dumbledore said to me. I don't know. You guys can ask him, I'll be going to bed right now."

Michelle started to get up but was about to fall again, Hermione quickly got up and caught her just in time. She helped Michelle to their rooms. Ron and Harry decided for them to go to bed too. It is getting late after all. So they put away their chess pieces and the board, and they went up to bed.
