Disclaimer: I only own Carly.
Okay first I must apologies…I got all caught up in volleyball that I had barely enough to scrap up this little bit. Thanks to all my reviewers especially Duchess Winna. I want to thank you personally for pointing out that Carly is a Mary Sue. I know she is, but I want to point out that if she's not fun to read about how come people seem to enjoy my story?
Okay in all honesty I like the constructive criticism about capitalizing certain things and the beta (I know I need one but the story is almost done so…).
Although to defend my story I have pointed out many times before that I don't care that Malfoy is older in the realHarry Potter books. This is fan fiction. Key word fiction. Fiction means an imaginative creation or a pretense that does not represent actuality but has been invented (as stated by Websters dictionary) or in this case created by another person such as JK Rowling.
But I want to thank you again for taking the time to point out all these things to me I needed a reminder that I am a horrible writer.
I love everyone who had positive reviews on my song fics and the like. So here is more Carly.
PLEASE READ BEFORE READING CHAPTER 50!
I have some very interesting news. To make this story actually end…because right now it's in that never ending story kind of mode I had to fix a couple of things. In Chapter 47: Funerals, Proposals, and Time I had said the date was July 30th… I'm not sure how to go back and change things yet, but I will find out. So for now I am going to repost the little bit I fixed:
Needless to say the four at the ministry where swamped so Remus helped Carly fix up their apartment (AN: they had been living in it without paint and other things till then). When everything was painted and fixed Carly and Remus stopped to eat at a little muggle café outside their building.
"So I have two months before Lily makes me cut my hair." Remus said to Carly. November was the month after Sirius, Lily, and James would be done with training. It was also the month in which James and Lily where going to be married. Carly laughed at Remus,
"It does need a trim." She said.
"Sophie happens to like it this way thank you very much." Remus retorted,
"I'm sure." She said sarcastically. Remus threw his fork at her. She caught it and threw it back, "Don't try it, Lupin, I'm a professional now." Remus shook his head.
"So when is the first game?" He asked,
"October 2nd." She said with a deep sigh. This year was going by to fast for her. With all of the stuff going on about Voldemort, quidditch, and her friends she barely had time to think. She was shocked when Remus waved a hand in front of her face,
"That's tomorrow." He said. Carly raised an eyebrow and he nodded shoving his wrist in her face. She looked at the date and sure enough it was October first.
"Oh man, what happened to the time?" She asked. Remus shrugged,
"I wish I knew." He whispered back.
Sorry for the confusion and mix up. I have confused myself and I'm sorry. Please forgive me. And now you're probably like shut up and let me read the rest. Sorry…
Recap (from chapter 49):
Carly struggled against the bonds on her chair. She screamed out but her scream was muffled by the gag in her mouth, "Try as you might, Caroline, you can't get through." A voice hissed in her ear. She stopped moving. Work with me. Okay. Think fire. Carly thought of fire. The heat, the brightness of it. Little did she know that a ball of flames was forming in her hands and slowly burning away the ropes. Suddenly she felt her hands go numb. "Now, now none of that. You hear to talk to me." The hiss said now moving in front of her. She gasped. If this was Voldemort she didn't recognize him, "You like my new look? Thanks to your little friends I was severely damaged, but that's okay now because I am stronger then ever." She glared at him. His eyes where now bloodshot and red. They seemed like slits that just opened enough for him to see through. His nose was flatter on his face and his mouth was lipless, "And now that I am stronger I can take your power, and with your power I can destroy Dumbledore, Potter, Black, the werewolf, and the Mudblood." She growled under her breath. Think of a brick wall. Okay. Voldemort stared at her and she felt him inside her head. Brick wall. She thought with all her mind and Voldemort was pushed out slowly. With one last push she knocked him on his feet, "Your getting good at this. That's good, because now it's even stronger for me." He hissed. "Why don't you talk to me?" He asked waving his hand. Carly's bond was let lose and she breathed deeply before speaking,
"All you want is my power?" She asked and he nodded.
Chapter 50: YAY chap. 50 (I can't think of anything else)
This chapter might seem confusing at first, but I promise as you read everything will begin to make sense.
Enjoy:
Carly struggled against the bonds holding her and tried to scream again. This time Voldemort grabbed her and began to shake her, "Carly!" He yelled in Lily's voice, "Carly WAKE UP!" Lily's voice came again shaking Carly awake. Carly bolted up white sheets clinging to her sweaty body,
"Lily?" Carly croaked. Lily nodded looking at Carly with a raised eyebrow. Carly grabbed Lily and hugged her close,
"Did you have another dream?" Lily asked through Carly's hair,
"I need to see Dumbledore." Carly whispered standing up pulling the covers off of her.
"We're already at Hogwarts." Carly stopped untangling herself,
"We brought you here after the match." "And he wants all of us right now in his office." Lily answered as Carly's eyes darted around the Hospital Wing of Hogwarts and landed on the clock on the wall that read three thirty in the morning, "What was your dream about?"
"Tell you later." Carly said pulling on clean clothes and running out of the infirmary. Lily shook her head and followed Carly. When she was almost there she was met by James and Sirius, who had grave expressions,
"Where did you go?" Lily asked looking at their disheveled appearances.
"There was an attack on a muggle school yesterday morning."
"Where's Carly?" Sirius asked,
"She left right after I told her."
Lily said the password and they squeezed into the packed room. Carly was at the front whispering in Dumbledore's ear. His face seemed to grow older as she continued to whisper. When Carly pulled away Dumbledore stood up and clapped his hands. Everyone grew silent,
"Last year Carly Mullet had a dream or vision if you will about Dorcas Meadows being killed. A few weeks later she had a dream about Benjy Fenwick being killed." James and Sirius groaned and Lily looked at them.
"Hey." Remus whispered sliding in next to Lily. Lily shook her head and Remus nodded now facing Dumbledore. Peter joined Remus a few seconds later,
"After hearing this information I sent Benjy and Dorcas into hiding. Dorcas went missing two weeks ago. Benjy was killed yesterday in his hiding spot at a muggle high school in America." A couple people gasped and many shook their heads.
"What are we going to do?" Someone in the front asked. Dumbledore shook his head,
"I have no idea." Lily cringed as these words left the Headmaster's mouth. She had never heard him say those words in the same sentence. "I will say though that it appears Voldemort has found out about us and is picking us off one by one starting with the Potters." Lily looked over and put a gentle hand on James' clenched fist. "I say we lay low for a little and if I come up with something better I will inform you at once. Please try and keep a low profile. Now if James, Lily, Sirius, Remus, and Peter please come here." Everyone began to leave pulling cloaks and jackets over their heads. When everyone left Dumbledore flicked his wand and the door slammed shut and locked. Lily and Remus took a seat as James paced, Peter sat on Remus' arm rest, and Sirius leaned against the wall. Carly was fidgeting nervously, "Carly just told me she had another dream." Sirius' eyes flicked towards Carly who looked down,
"Who died?" James said stopping his pacing,
"No one died." Carly said in a weak voice, "You guys remember the power outage at the game yesterday and how when the lights turned on I was on the ground unconscious?" Lily nodded she had been so scared when that happened.
Flash back
Remus had just gotten back from getting the food and was acting very strangely. "I ran into some…people." He said sitting down next to Sirius,
"Who?" Lily asked,
"Doug Benner, Ben Lynch, and Danny Koler." He whispered,
"What did they want?" Sirius in a low voice,
"Nothing they just wanted to say hi that's all." Soon the game started and there was little room left to converse. Carly had started off slow getting blocked when she shouldn't have and so on, but about ten minutes later she was scoring goal after goal,
"Makes me want to have practiced more at Hogwarts." James said watching as Carly scored another goal. Halfway through the game the stadium became dark. The whistle from the referee blew and the players stopped. All the lights where out in the entire stadium. James cursed under his breath and grabbed his wand. Always when we're having a good time, he thought. Sirius was up with his wand out as was Remus. Lily seemed to be looking every which way. They saw a light from a wand shine and Sirius sighed in relief as Carly's face appeared before the light. There was a flash of red light and a scream Carly's wand fell to the ground. Everyone in the stadium jumped five feet when there was a scream coming from center field.
"Carly." Sirius croaked rubbing his neck. James put a levitating charm on himself and jumped out of the box and onto the field. Lily, Remus, and Sirius followed. The entire stadium was now in an uproar as the lights turned back on. (AN: This is where Carly's dream picks up) Carly was unconscious on the ground. Lily was whispering spell after spell to wake her up, but nothing would work.
"What do we do?" Remus asked,
"Take her to Dumbledore." Sirius said picking Carly up and walking off the field. The medi-wizards tried to stop him as he walked through the stadium, but he just ignored them as James petrified the ones in his way.
When they arrived at Hogwarts Dumbledore studied Carly for a long time, before shaking his head and turning towards Remus, James, Lily, and Sirius, "I assume she'll come around later tonight. Her own magic is blocking me from getting inside her head. She must be having another dream." Lily slumped into a chair and opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by a tapping on the window. Sirius opened the window and an owl flew in and landed on James shoulder.
"It's from Moody." James said reading over the letter, "He needs me and Sirius at the Ministry right now."
"Why?" Sirius asked. James shook his head,
"It doesn't say anything but GET HERE NOW! In capitol letters." With one last glance at Carly's unconscious form he ran out of the hospital wing with James on his heals.
"Albus! Albus!" Came McGonagall's voice as she ran to the headmaster, "There is urgent business about Benjamin Fenwick." She said dragging him out of the infirmary.
"Bring her to my office when she wakes up." The headmaster said before the door shut. Lily ran a hand through her hair,
"This is too much." She said, "I'll stay if you want to go." She said looking at Remus,
"I'll stay too; I just need to get some food." He said standing up, "Be right back." And right after the door shut behind him Carly let out a strangled scream.
End Flashback.
"…and that's when I woke up." Carly said finishing her dream.
"Wait, wait, wait he wants to use your magic to destroy us?" Lily asked confused, "Why does he want to destroy us?"
"I have a strange theory…" Dumbledore said looking at his calendar and flipping through it. The date today was October third. He stared at Lily and at James tapping his chin before speaking. "Last week I had an interview with a new Divination teacher…"
Again I apologies for the change of dates, but this story will END I promise you. Alright so from now on I will be using the information from Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince in my stories. It makes life easier. Please forgive me for being a loser and changing things around.
Thanks for RR,
