Chapter 5 : Disturbances

October 30th 1989

Professor Albus Dumbledore sat in his office reading over the days edition of The Daily Prophet when the door burst open. Sirius Black walked in waving his hands which too contained a newspaper at the Headmaster. Walking to his desk Sirius slammed the paper down in front of the elder wizards face. "There have been 15 attacks on muggles the past week, and all of them were in her neighborhood."

"Sirius," the headmaster replied, "We must not speak of things that don't exist." He repeated the phrase that he had always said when the topic was brought up.

"Dumbledore she does exist and he's after her. Why would Death Eaters be killing muggles so close to her if that's not what they were looking for? He knows." Sirius insisted.

"Sirius I assure you, everything is fine." Dumbledore stated.

The younger wizard frowned. "I hope your right."

October 30th 1989 evening

A loud popping sound echoed through the neighborhood though no one took much notice since the sound had been common lately. The figure walked up to a couple sitting on their porch. The man sat next to the woman and was watching their daughter walk around them, proud of herself for being able to walk on her own.

The figure walked up and talked to the couple. After a few minutes the figure talked to the little girl, gave her a hug, and left. The couple smiled as their daughter waved bye at her new friend. Immediately taking the figures advice they brought their daughter inside.

Present Day Dumbledore's office

Harry sat unable to move, fire burning in his eyes. His fists were clenched so tight on the arm of the chair that his knuckles turned pale white exposing the veins. He opened his mouth but was unable to form words. Halle however was not. "Why does he want me? For all he knows I could be the weakest witch there ever was."

"He knows that's not true." Came the voice of the potions professor as he walked up to Dumbledore's desk. "He speaks of you often. Revels in how much your power has grown and how quickly. He talks about you like you were his own child, bragging that you're becoming more powerful than he had ever imagined."

Halle, taken aback, could only muster out a whisper. "How would he know this?"

"It's quite simple Miss Potter; he has a spy." Snape stated.

Harry's green eyes immediately flickered onto Snape.

"Glare's are not necessary Potter, my loyalty remains with the order." He snarled at seeing the look from Harry's eyes.

"Malfoy." Harry hissed.

"Now, now Harry we must not go jumping to conclusions. We have no proof that Draco has any connection at all to Voldemort other than that of his father." Dumbledore insisted.

"I still don't understand. Why is he speaking of me like this?" Halle demanded.

"Because if he gets a hold of you and drains your power, the connection you have with Harry will transfer to him. If that happens he will be able to get to Harry mentally, thus enabling him to win their inevitable battle." Dumbledore explained.

Remus looked somberly at the girl who was trying incredulously to hide her feelings. "He sees you as his weapon Halle; and the stronger a weapon is, the more deadly its aim."

Harry finally pulled himself together to speak a full sentence. "I refuse to let him take away someone else that I love." He spat out.

"And we will see to it that that does not happen Harry." Remus said comfortingly.

"In order to insure that however Harry, you must start occulemcy lessons with Professor Snape again." The headmaster explained.

Harry frowned, looking at the potions instructor who had a similar look upon his face. "Fine." The 6th year grumbled.

"And as for you Halle, I cannot emphasize enough that you must not go anywhere outside the castle alone." Albus Dumbledore explained.

"I'm not going to be babysat, I'm 16 years old." Halle said angrily.

"You truly do not understand how much danger you are in." Came the unsuspecting concern of one Serverus Snape.

Dumbledore got up and walked over to a nearby cabinet. Reaching inside he pulled out a pensive and handed it to Harry. "It's time Halle sees what even in his weakest state, Voldemort is capable of."

Ron, Hermione, and Ginny sat in the common room attempting to bypass the time as they waited for their two friends to return. "Check mate!" Ron cheered as he beat Ginny for the 3 consecutive times in Wizards Chess.

Hermione glanced over the binding of the book and smiled at the red-headed boy whose quirky ways had most recently done more than grow on her. Moving her attention back to the material she was reading, she focused again on the passage she was interrupted from.

The second day of classes Hermione visited the library and took out a few texts that she thought would be quite useful in the coming year. However, unbeknownst to her friends the books were in no way for classes. Book-marking her page, Hermione decided to call it a night on the research and watch the sibling chess battle.

"What have you been reading?" Ron asked not taking his eyes off the chess board assuming if he did otherwise his sister would cheat.

"Just some things on wizarding twins, particularly male and female twins." Hermione said non-chalantly.

"What about them?" Ginny asked suddenly becoming interested in their conversation.

"Their powers mostly. It's amazing the things they can do together. I know Harry doesn't want to be kept in the dark anymore so I thought it would be prudent for me to research and make sure nothing was left out." She replied.

"Anything that will help against You-Know-Who?" Ron inquired.

Hermione shook her head. "Not remotely. Everything in there is just basic knowledge. I believe if we want our questions answers we need to visit the restricted section."

"I doubt you'll find anything in there." Ginny said sorrowfully. "It's time we admit to ourselves that there is truly only one way Harry is going to defeat him; alone."

The creature rose above in terror as the two figures watched the shadows of the past. Halle gasped as she saw her brother lay on the chamber floor dying. The vision of the sorcerers stone did not disturb her nearly as much for it didn't contain Harry in such a grave condition. The worst reaction however came when she saw what happened at the Tri-Wizard tournament.

Harry's face looked dejected as he relived the past that he tried his hardest to push to the far reaches of his mind. He was more than glad when the sights around them turned back into that of Dumbledore's office. He knew Dumbledore would not let them view what had happened at the ministry for the flesh was still open and the wound too deep. He tried to hide his hurt but he couldn't seem to fool the important ones around him.

Halle's eyes though filled with tears seemed to yearn for something more. "I want to see it." She insisted.

"See what Halle?" The headmaster asked.

"I want to see my parents last moments." She forced out, trying to keep the tears from falling.

"Halle I don't think that is a good"

"Let me see it." Halle interrupted Remus.

Harry looked at his sister and frowned. Those moments had haunted him for so long. They echoed in his head when dementers were around and swarmed his dreams more than anyone knew.

"Very well." The weary-faced headmaster said motioning to Harry to again engulf himself in the pensive.

Ginny Weasley lay on her bed staring outside at the raindrops as they slithered down her window. A small figure suddenly came out of no where and smashed against her window. Recognizing the familiar squeak she immediately opened the window and let the owl in.

"Pig, what are you doing here?" She questioned the tiny owl. She removed the parchment that was attached to his leg and read its contents.

You thought the chamber was the end; we haven't even begun having fun. Every good show has an encore and this onewill be better than the original.

The youngest Weasley dropped the letter on the ground as if it was burning her hands. She began to shake and immediately wanted to talk to the only one she knew would understand. There was one problem; he would never talk to her if he knew. Harry was always concerned for everyone else's safety more than his own. No, there was no way she would tell him that now Tom Riddle was going after his friends as well as family.

"Silly girl." He hissed.

Halle jumped unconsciously grabbing a hold of Harry's arm.

The dark figure then towered over the young child who stared on, unaware of the intent of the one standing before him.

Halle watched as Voldemort attempted to kill her brother. Tears were flowing down her face as they returned to the present. Wiping the tears away she stood silent.

"I wish you hadn't asked to see that." Dumbledore said solemnly.

Remus walked over and attempted to place his hand on Halle's shoulder to comfort her. She shrugged it off walking away from the group of people.

Harry spoke trying to shake her out of her trance. "Halle, everything they did was out of love."

She turned around and stared at the group. The sadness that had once filled her eyes was replaced by intense fire and fury. "That bastards gonna burn."
