Sorry for the wait… it's been a horrible week… Friday the 13th really did bring me bad luck... I discovered my crush that I always thought liked me, turned out to like my close friend, and now they are dating… it was devastating. Yea so here is chapter 6…
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
He woke up the next morning, a little later than he would have normally slept and quickly got out of bed. He took back out the spell book "Dutch Spells" and looked for anything about relapses. He found none, but then again, he had his soul partially ripped in half and was now being put back together again. He just hoped that no others would come.
Luckily Aunt Sara and Katherine just thought he was a little bit more tired than usual and teased him about being lazy.
Luckily he remembered to do his scar-covering-up curse too. He often wondered how the two of them would react if they knew that he was Harry Potter. They would probably freak out, or not believe him. He didn't want to tell them unless he absolutely had too.
A few days later the house ran out of food so Aunt Sara sent Harry to accompany Katherine to the market place. Katherine told him it was about a mile walk to it. After Aunt Sara gave them their list of food they had to get, they set our on foot on to the dirt road. Harry asked what the market place was like, "Is it the muggle kind?"
Katherine smiled and said, "Yeah, and that's why we sort of out of the wizarding world, all of our friends are muggles, but only my good friends know about my Aunt being a witch. I know that there are probably more witches and wizards living here because just over those mountains is Hogsmade and after that Hogwarts." She pointed to the mountain they had the fight on. Harry grimly nodded.
They walked in silence for a while, watching the cornfields wave in the wind. Harry was looking at the sea of gold. It was a nice day out; the sun was bearing down upon them from a cloudless blue sky. It wasn't to hot and it wasn't too cold. These were the days Harry liked best. Then suddenly remembered him, Ron, and Hermione sitting under their favorite tree at Hogwarts on a day like this. Ron and him were talking about Quidditch while Hermione was finishing up their potions homework on how to find all the ingredients to wolfbain. He smiled; he had to remember to thank Hermione when he got back, if she was still okay.
Suddenly, it felt like a white-hot wire was being pressed into his forehead. Harry stumbled and yelled in both surprise and pain. His scar hadn't hurt since his fifth year, before Voldemort was using occlumency against him. Why was it suddenly lifted now? It was burning so bad he couldn't see. Voldemort was happy, extremely happy. He still didn't know how he knew this, but he was sure of it. As the pain started to dwindle down he looked at Katherine who looked back at his worried. "What's wrong!" she asked urgently.
This is when he noticed his hand was plastered to his scar. He quickly covered his bangs over it just in case it was showing. "Err… a bug… a bee, I think, it stung me." He said pointing to his forehead. He was not quite sure if she would believe it. She looked at him, leery. Harry suppressed the urge to rub his scar again. It was still throbbing. Instead he said, "C'mon. Lets keep going, we don't want Sara worried." He started to walk down the road again hoping she would fallow.
She did and fell in to a steady pace next to him. After a bit of silence she said, "Your sort of scared me there. Are you okay?" Harry faked a laugh and assured her he was all right. Inside though he wasn't. He was deep in thought. Why did Voldemort lift his occlumency against him? Was it just by accident? Harry didn't think so. Voldemort always had a plan behind everything he did. He started to think of all the time it hurt before while kicking a rock along side the road. Katherine also seemed to be thinking hard, so they both kept their respectful silence.
The next thing he knew the dirt road turned to a paved one. He looked up. They were passing a gas station and when he looked ahead, he saw a big, square shop labeled "The Market Place". For some reason, the whole town looked odd compared to the dirt roads and cornfields on either side of it. Soon as they got there they went in and bought what was on Aunt Sara's list and a few sweet things for on the way back.
Katherine recognized some people in and out of the store and waved to them but it was a little ways after they started to head back when she saw her best friend. When Katherine saw her she went over to her and tapped her on the shoulder. Harry followed, unsure what to do. The girl turned around, confused. Once she saw whom it was she smiled exclaimed, "Hey!" Thus the chatting started. After a few minutes Katherine suddenly must have remembered Harry and said, "Oh, I have to introduce!" and so she thrust back her shoulders and said in a very serious manner, "Paige, this is Neville Longbottom and Neville, this is Paige Jillian, my best friend in the world."
Paige mock sighed and said, "Awww, that was so sweet," they laughed.
Paige had blackish brown hair, shoulder length and brown eyes. She was shorter than Katherine but only by a little bit. Katherine explained how they found Harry knocked out in their cornfield and how he didn't wake up for two weeks. Harry pretended to look interested in some corn stalk, ears red, and trying not to listen but it wasn't working very well. Something else took his attention away from both the corn stalk and the two girls though. He for some strange reason the corn stalks in the middle of the field was parting rapidly.
He wasn't quite sure what to do; it was sort of starting to freak him out. Harry tapped Katherine on the shoulder as it was coming closer and closer. "Hold on Neville," she said, not bothering to turn around, but listening to Paige as she told about what she got for her birthday, which was apparently a few days ago. Harry quickly grabbed Katherine and turned her around and pointed to the scene. She looked confused for a second. Then suddenly realizing what it was her eyes widened and she gasped. She turned to Paige and cried, "The Ling's dog!"
Paige seemed to understand what she meant by this. She too looked scared and quickly said "Bye!" and ran back to the market place. Harry was slightly bewildered by the reaction to all of this when Katherine grabbed him by the wrist and started running the opposite way.
He asked, "What is it? Is the dog evil or something?"
Katherine looked back, still dragging him behind her, "Are you kidding? It may be the nastiest creature alive! It's rumored that it killed a girl once!" Harry wasn't quite sure he believed it but when he looked back, he saw a huge black, ugly looking dog with foam forming at his mouth, just appearing out of the field.
The dog immediately saw the two retreating backs and started running towards them. Harry picked up speed and soon he was dragging Katherine behind saying, "He's on our tail!" No matter how fast they went the stupid dog seemed to go just a little bit faster. It wasn't until he was five feet behind Katherine when he decided to pull out his wand. As he was doing this he tripped and want tumbling to the ground.
Katherine managed to stayed up and stopped once Harry fell. The dog lunged on top of him, biting him in the shoulder. Harry yelled out and pointed his wand at the dog. "Exprsetra!" He cried and the dog was flung off of him. After a bit of a shock the dog charged at him again. He quickly got to his feet again and cried "Stupefy!" It narrowly missed, but it scared the dog so much that it stopped and instead turned and ran towards Katherine.
She screamed as it lunged on top of her. She fell and he herd a sharp crack as her head hit the ground. Harry aimed his wand and said once more in exasperation, "Stupefy!" It hit the mangle of bodies and they both were motionless. Harry ran over to Katherine, hoping that she was okay. She looked quite beat up, with bite marks on her arms and scratches on her face. Harry quickly scoped her up in his arms and made sure to trod over the dog as he ran back to the farm.
When Harry returned home not with a bag of food but with a bloodied up Katherine, you could imagine why Aunt Sara screamed. After laying Katherine down on the couch and explaining exactly what happened to Aunt Sara, she set to work. She apparently was an assistant healer at one time and was able to heal Katherine up pretty quick.
She was unconscious for a good part of the day. They weren't able to wake her up magically because she hit her head also, and if her brain didn't fully regain its self she could have brain damage. Aunt Sara mostly stayed in the room with Katherine and watched over her while Harry went back to get the food, with extra precaution. He ran in to no trouble going there or heading back.
She started to stir at about 7 o' clock at night. As she slowly came back to consciousness Aunt Sara called Harry in excitedly. Harry didn't know what the big deal was, but he guessed if this were Mrs. Weasley she would be doing the same thing, fretting over her child. When Katherine was fully conscious, she asked for water. Sara conjured her some immediately and they were silent while she drank it.
Since she forgot what happened, Harry had to retell her the day's events. Once he told her that he knocked out the dog she exclaimed, "You saved my life!" Harry wasn't sure how to reply to this so he just kept on going with the story. At the end of it Katherine threw her arms over his shoulders and thanked him. Then after making sure Katherine was all right, Aunt Sara started to make a dinner for her while Katherine rested and Harry read. Then his scar throbbed painfully again. He rubbed it and wondered what Voldemort was doing to make his scar hurt. One thing he knew it wasn't anything good. As night fell he felt his scar twinge every now and then but after a while he was able to fall in to an uneasy sleep.
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Harry wasn't quite sure where he was, but he was seeing through not his eyes, but someone else's. He had no control at all over what he was doing, but he seemed to be waiting for something. Then the door burst open and to his horror, Voldemort came in, followed by Wormtail, whimpering behind him. "M-master, please, everyone is wanting to know what you are going to do… t-they sent me to ask you."
Voldemort didn't say anything and went over to a basin with bluish water. "Master, p-please," he cried and Voldemort finally turned to him.
"Go- now Wormtail, unless you want to feel Lord Voldemort's true wrath." He said in a deadly whisper. Wormtail whimpered, bowed and practically ran to the door. Harry started to slither towards Voldemort and he looked down. "Soon Nagini, very soon." He said towards him.
Then he took a knife out of his pocket and slit his own finger. A drop of blood slid down and dropped off his finger. As soon as it hit the bluish water it felt like Harry's scar burst open. The basin turned a bright white, but in the middle the water seemed to oddly quake. Then suddenly it calmed and, to his horror he was looking at his own form tossing and turning in his sleep in Katherine and Sara's house. Soon Katherine came bursting though the door at his cries and started to shake him awake. As he was waking he herd Voldemort say, "Soon, Harry Potter, very soon."
