Chapter6: The Grim Returns!
"What door was it again?" Harry asked himself as he proceeded to walk the halls quickly. He had hoped that Julia didn't have class at this moment so she could answer a few questions of his. Stopping at her office door, he knocked twice and stood back, waiting while tapping his left foot.
Without expecting it, the door flew open, and an anxious looking Julia poked her head through the door and looked Harry up and down with a large grin, her white teeth shining. "Hey Harry!" She yelled excited, almost sounding like Tonks. "I have a surprise for you ... A very good one." She added, her eyes getting wider at her own words.
The Gryffindor nodded dumbly, confusion written all over his face. Julia looked Harry up and down again, before she grabbed his elbow and practically ripped it off trying to get him into her office/bed chamber.
"What's happening?" He asked, as he took a seat on the same couch he had sat on yesterday night.
"It's something I've been thinking about ever since I came back from the E.O.D," She started, licking her lips before she continued, "I came back from the Veil, so if we go to the department of mysteries, we can get Sirius out to."
The-boy-who-lived sat shocked at her words. He always knew that Sirius could come back, but he didn't know that he had to sneak back to the department of mysteries. "What Veil did you come out of?" He asked.
Julia smiled faintly at him, her eyes watery with tears. "I had to come out of the same Veil Sirius has to, and that veil is the only on in the U.K. The only other way to get a veil is to go to Romania, and they have about ten there. But... that's way to risky, we're just going to have to plan another mission."
Harry leaned back against the couch, his head throbbing. "Is there another way we can create a veil?"
"Yes," Julia answered with a thoughtful expression. "I have heard about creating one before. See, in the Epicenter of Dreams, every soul who's not ready to pass over yet is always trying to find away out. I remember hearing about some potion and charm you had to cast in order to open the portal to the Epicenter of Dreams."
"So we have to open a portal, and bring him back." Harry said to himself thoughtfully.
"Yep, that's the idea," Julia responded, a frown on her lips. "See, if we even tried to go to the department of Mysteries and bring Sirius back, then he could get caught and end up getting the kiss."
The Gryffindor nodded at her words, a frown starting to tug his own lips. " So the only thing to do right now is to find the spell and brew the potion in order to get the portal started."
"Well, this is sodding great," The professor said angrily. "We don't even know if Hogwarts has the spell or the potion ingredients in any of their books."
"How about I look for the spell and you look for the potions ingredients, and if you find the potion ingredients, start brewing. By the time I find the charm for this, the potion will already be done and we can open the portal as quickly as possible." The raven haired boy explained.
"Okay, Harry, I only hope this works." Was her response.
Later that day, Harry could be found in Hogwarts library searching furiously through a book. The book was called 'Gateway to Hell'and for some reason the Gryffindor boy was pulled toward this book. He turned the pages hurriedly and didn't stop until he saw exactly what he was looking for. 'Mankica Lavfao, Portal to the Epicenter of Dreams' And he started to read the book out loud.
Page 123343: Mankica Lavfao.
Everyone wanted to find a way out of the Epicenter of Dream, so they thought if they died and knew how to open the Epicenter of Dreams, then they could just open it and leave the world of the dead and silent. It wasn't that easy, though, no one knew how to make a portal between the worlds in order for them to cross over. No one knew until a man name Mankica Lavfao discovered it shortly before his death. When he crossed, they say he didn't end up in the Epicenter of Dreams, but in the Hallways of Silence. A man who's only objective was to take in evil souls and make them feel lost and hollow. If anybody wasn't evil and they ended up there, the walls will be illusions to them, and they could walk through them. Lavfao couldn't walk through any of the walls, and the reason was he was an evil monster who wanted to become immortal. It didn't turn out as he planned, and the spell he created to open the portal is either a myth of real. No one has ever tried to test it out, but the charm and the potion name is listed at the bottom of this page.
(CHARM) MANKICA LAVFAO, OPEN IN APRISE, COMO SE DECA, INTO THE MORTAL HOLLO LANDS, INTO THE FATHER OF LIFOEN."
(POTION) DRAGON BLOOD, BOGART DUST, ROSE PEDDLES, BASILISK SCALES, DRAGON TOOTH, AND SNAKE SKIN."
Harry stopped reading and closed the book, not before tearing that page out. Practically running, he didn't stop until he reached Professor Roberts door and knocked. When the door opened, Harry burst out laughing. Julia had some type of green net over her head, and a white mask over her face. The robe she wore was like silk, plastic in a way, and she had on tall boots that looked ragged and had red stains on them.
"Harry," Julia said happily, although it came out muffled. "Come on in, I found the potion ingredients and I assume you have the charm."
Harry nodded as he hesitantly stepped over the threshold, wondering if he should walk the rest of the way inside. Julia really didn't give him any time to decide before she grasped his arm and pulled him after her.
"So the potion is ready, all we have to do is say the spell, and a circle doorway should open, but in order for us not to burn to death opening it, we need to throw the potion directly in the portal to make it safe." She explained, as she pulled out a green bottle, Harry guessed it was the potion.
"So let me at the spell Harry, and after you see the gateway open throw the potion in."
Harry nodded and handed Julia the charm. He watched as Julia looked over the page and than at the charm. "Okay, Harry, here we go," Julia said before drawing out a wand and closing her eyes as she said the charm. "LAVFAO, OPEN IN APRISE, COMO SE DECA, INTO THE MORTAL HOLLO LANDS, INTO THE FATHER OF LIFOEN."
Unexpectedly, there was a big gush of wind, and Harry flew back into the wall, the potion dropping out of his hand and rolling towards the portal. The portal was a swirl of white, gray and light blue.
He was vaguely aware of Julia yelling for him to get the potion, and the only thing he could think about was pain.
There was so much pain, the air seemed to be knocked out of him. Thinking about Sirius once more, he slowly got up off the floor and crawled towards the potion that was rolling slowly towards the portal.
Trying to stand up, he only fell back down and gritted his teeth from the pain. His eyes starting to water from the strong wind blowing everywhere. Crawling just a little bit more, his hands touched the top of the bottle, he grasped it, looked up, and throw it into the portal.
There was a loud boom and Harry wasn't aware of who was screaming, the only thing he knew was pain. He passed out amidst the chaos.
There were bright lights when he woke up, and he hoped he wasn't dead. Shading his eyes with his hands, he heard a man's voice, shortly followed by a woman's voice.
They seemed to arguing about something. Blinking a couple of times he could make out a bed, the walls were all emerald green, and he knew he had to be in Julia's room.
Turning towards the voices, he gasped when he saw Julia standing and talking to an anxious looking person. And that person was, "Sirius?" Harry whispered in question, his emerald eyes wide with disbelief.
The man turned and smiled at Harry as his black eyes met emerald ones. There were no words spoken as they both ran and engulfed each other in hugs, tears of happiness coming down both of their cheeks.
They didn't notice the jealous expression on Julia face as she said with distaste, " So... The Grim returns." And walked out the room.
