Chapter 7
It was August 31st. The day before the rest of the students were due to come back to hogwarts. However, Harry, Ron and Hermione were already at Hogwarts, Ron and Hermione had come 2 weeks before to keep Harry company, as he healed from his various injuries. On the outside, he was already completely fine again, there were only a few scars, including one large one on the side of his neck, to remind him of what had happened.
At first, Harry had been pestered by reporters, wanting to know what sort of terrible punishment Harry would demand for Sirius, as revenge. Now, they were still in shock at Harry announcing that he was giving Sirius a trial.
Although Ron and Hermione were there, there still wasn't much to do, which left Harry with a lot of time for thought. They had finished their homework long ago ( Dumbledore had sent someone back to Privet Drive to collect Harry's belongings ), and they weren't allowed to leave the grounds, (Dumbledore had also sent someone to Diagon Alley for them).
There had been several more incidents with the 'lines', but so far, they hadn't been able to discover what the cause of them was.
Harry was at this moment on his way to Dumbledore's office, where he had been summoned. He walked briskly up to the stone gargoyle, and after several minutes, and around 100 names of sweets later, he was standing outside Dumbledore's office. He knocked on the door, and poked his head in. Dumbledore was sitting with his elbows resting on his desk, deeply absorbed in thought.
"You wanted to see me professor?" Dumbledore glanced up.
"Ah yes, Harry, bring the rest of yourself in" Harry entered nervously, and seated himself at the desk, facing Dumbledore, who leaned back, placing his fingers delicately together.
"Harry, about these 'incidents' you've been having. I'm beginning to see a pattern in them. I think that I know what's causing them." Harry leaned forward eagerly,
"What is it professor? Can we stop it?"
Dumbledore leaned back wearily, "I think that we might be able to stop those lines from appearing, and, in time, hopefully what is causing them too". He sighed and closed his eyes briefly, before fixing his piercing gaze on Harry again.
"Harry, have you noticed how, each time those lines appear, the next day, there is usually another article in the Daily Prophet, about another wizard or witch who has disappeared. It is my belief that these 'disappearings' are connected Voldemort, ant they are in some way affecting you." He stopped and paused, allowing Harry to digest everything he was being told.
"Harry, last year you told me about what happened to you after you entered the maze, and you said that Voldemort took some of your blood for himself, am I correct?" Harry simply nodded.
"And every time one of these 'disappearings' happen, it is my belief that something connected with the 'disappearing' affects your blood, making it grow hotter and hotter, causing your veins to bulge. That's what those lines are." Harry was feeling slightly stunned. He had never considered that what had happened to him last year would affect him in this way.
"So, how can we stop them?" he asked slowly.
"I have asked Professor Snape to make a few minor adjustments to a potion which is normally used on people for burns. It would hopefully cool down your blood when it starts to grow hotter, preventing your veins from bulging.
Harry blinked, "How often would I have to take it?"
"Once a week. You can go and collect your first dose from Madam Pomfrey now, just go straight down to the hospital wing." Dumbledore heaved himself out of his chair, and walked slowly across the room to face the window.
"Now, I do believe that I can see someone waiting for me outside. I will see you later Harry"
And with that, he left the office, leaving Harry to sort out his thoughts.
(Okay, I know that chapter was short, and that I rushed it a lot, but hey. I need u guys to review and tell me whether you want this visitor for Dumbledore to be:
*Just a ministry official come to talk to him about whatever ministry officials talk to Dumbledore about.
OR
*A ministry official come to talk to him about the condition of a certain Draco Malfoy.
So review and tell me!!
