A/N: It's what you wanted. Chapter 5. Sorry I'm slow with getting you chapters, but I'm such a busy person. This time in my life is very hectic.
"Headmaster Dumbledore! Quick!" I ran straight to his office, no side trips or anything.
" Password?" the gargoyle asked.
"Um, peach pie, pumpkin juice, lemon tarts, strawberry ice cream, screaming leprechauns…"
"Screaming leprechauns it is!" the gargoyle sprang to life and jumped aside.
"Screaming leprechauns, eh? Lucky guess…" I snorted as I walked into the office.
"I had a feeling…" Dumbledore chuckled and showed me to the nearest chair.
"But I'm not even a Potter!" I whined.
"Hold on, please tell me what's going on, Miss Krum."
So, naturally, I told him the whole story, everything. He nodded his head here and there, showing that he understood.
"Well, Miss Krum, it seems to me that he is trying to control you, like he did Ginny Weasely some years ago." Dumbledore stayed calm, but I was freaking out. (A/N: "He"in the sentence: "…he is trying to control you," is Voldemort…just a hint to my slower readers.)
"Ginny Weas- Mrs. Weasley? But she's…" I was sweating now, and sputtering the first words that came to mind.
"Yes, I know she is alive. Harry Potter rescued her."
"Oh! So Voldemort is using me to get at something?" I was starting to get this freak show business.
"Or someone."
"Wait… Chris!"
"Precisely."
"But-never mind. How do I fight Voldemort? The dreams, I mean," I was almost crying.
"I believe you must go through what Harry Potter did… Occlumency with Professor Snape."
I intook a sharp breath. Professor Dumbledore ignored it. "I will send you an owl with the details, Haley. You'd better go. Catch some afternoon classes!" He said.
"But Professor McGonagall said…"
"You have my permission."
"Yay!" I ran out of the office, completely regretting my "Yay!" as I looked at my schedule:
Monday Evening Classes:
Potions-Snape
Divination-Trelawney
History of Magic-Binns
Results may vary
"Ohhh…." I moaned as I headed to Potions class.
I was greeted (of course) oh-so-sourly by Snape.
"Ahhh… a snarling friend of the Potter boy," I heard him murmur.
I took a seat by Chris, Will and Lezley.
"Free Spirit potion, directions on the board. Start." Professor Snape snarled.
Suddenly, an owl flew in the room. It was Woodstock! She handed me a note in a shaky scrawl:
Haley,
I don't know what this means. I need more detail! If it's Voldemort, you should take Occlumency from Snape. I know it doesn't sound fun, but it really could help.
I'll try to be as much help as possible,
Mr. Potter (Harry)
PS: Give the other note to Chris, please.
I gave the other note to Chris. He looked really confused, and Snape looked furious.
"Now who's this from? Boyfriend?" He snapped and snatched the note out of my hands.
As he read, his expression changed.
"Yes, of course." He nodded sourly, scribbled on a piece of parchment, and handed it to me. "Take this to Professor McGonagall. Work may be made up later in…detention."
My heart sank. Detention? I heard Brad and Chace Malfor snigger.
I took the note and walked out. It said:
Minerva,
Please read the letter from Harry Potter to Haley Krum. I think every Wednesday works for me. Tell Albus.
Severus
Haley: I know you are reading this so please give McGonagall the letter. You are not in trouble… YET. Make up work tonight.
Ok, really confused. I tapped on Professor McGonagall's office door.
"Come in," an icy voice beckoned.
(A/N: That's the chapter! Please R&R!)
