Well here's chapter four everyone. I promise you will find out everything about Greg Talon and Jessica Lock in later chapters. Well enjoy this chapter! Sorry this chapter is so short but I want specific pages in the next chapter. Does that make sense? Oh well.
Across England in a dark cemetery, Voldemort talked with his Death Eaters and Wormtail.
"Is everything ready?" he asked of Wormtail a cruel smile spreading across his snake like lips.
"Y-yes sir, the week of the Rebirth should go as planned." Wormtail stuttered, he was, and always had been, scared of his master, the dark lord, Voldemort.
"Excellent," he turned to his followers, the Death Eaters, "As you know I am at full strength after being resurrected by Wormtail, and Mister Potter. But yet again, I have failed to kill the little horror, and I need him dead before the Rebirth begins."
One of the Death Eaters slowly raised his hand, after a nod from Voldemort he asked, "What exactly is the rebirth, oh great one?"
"The Rebirth is the week in June that I will become invincible. All throughout that week, I will have certain tasks to do in order to prove my worthiness of becoming indestructible. Once I have completed them the Egyptian god, Am-Heh, lord of the underworld and devourer of souls, will reward me with immortality."
The Death Eaters nodded understandingly. Then one asked the question no one else dared to.
"What does Harry Potter have to do with this?"
Voldemort hissed angrily, "If anyone is going to figure out my plan it will be him, and in case he does, he probably won't, but if he does we all know he will try and stop me. Doing anything and everything he can, the ceremony cannot be interrupted. It has to go off without a hitch otherwise the next time I will be able to do it will be in two-thousand years. The planets align only once every two-thousand years and the aligned planets are needed for this spell."
The Death Eaters all nodded to Voldemort and each other understandingly. One Death Eater stepped forward, shoulders thrown back and his chest puffed out proudly.
"We will do anything to ensure your plan succeeds. Just tell us our assignments and we will get busy, Lord Voldemort." Mr. Malfoy (Draco Malfoy's father) stated bowing deeply in great respect.
Voldemort smiled walking down the line of Death Eaters, pausing to look at each individual. "All I need you to do, my friends and followers, is make sure Harry Potter is dead before the ceremony. I don't care how, when or where. Just kill him, for if he ruins my plans, you will all suffer the consequences."
The black form darted through the forest with incredible speed, when it neared the forest edge it slowed to a trot before stopping completely. The black shape was a beautiful black panther he stood there for several minutes before starting to change. The black fur disappeared the yellow eyes were replaced with green and in seconds flat, the panther had turned back into Harry Potter.
Harry sighed and headed back to the Weasley house, a twig snapping caused him to spin around. He snapped his fingers, and his scabbard and sword appeared on his back. Pulling the sword from its case his eyes scanned the forest, his blade held in a defensive position in front of him.
That's when he heard the soft rustling of leaves to his left behind a bush, he stood still waiting for a second before swinging around and slashing his sword into the shrub. His sword hit another with the familiar metallic CLANG.
"Christ Harry, you nearly took my head off." Jessica said standing up and replacing her sword in its covering.
Harry sighed with relief and put his own sword away; snapping his fingers, the scabbard and sword disappeared once again. "What are you doing here, Jessica?"
"I came to check up on you," she replied angrily, snapping away her weapon as well. Then added more kindly, "How are things going at the Weasleys?"
He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, "Not well, Hermione snapped, she told me how different I was. And that she didn't think we should be friends anymore."
"She said that?" Jessica asked genuinely surprised, "That doesn't sound like her, at least from what you told me she was like."
"Well that isn't exactly what she said, her exact words were 'We're your best friends, or at least we used to be.'" He shook his head, "But I got the message, basically she was saying that if I don't tell she and Ron what's going on, then she won't be my friend anymore."
"That's rough, what a predicament. What are you going to do? Are you going to tell them? I know how much you care about them, how much you've wanted to tell them..."
Harry bit his lip, 'I can't tell them, Greg would be furious. But what if they happened to find out on their own. Sure Greg would be upset for a day or two. But he wouldn't blame me and my friends would know the truth.'
"I can't tell them, but if they found out on their own, Greg couldn't be mad at me for that." Harry grinned his eyes sparkling with mischief.
Jessica smiled too, "Sounds like the boy-who-lived has a plan."
"You up for it?" he asked.
Jessica laughed rubbing her hands together, "What's the plan, oh great one."
Many, many chapters later, you will all find out how Dumbledore knows about Greg, and what Snape had to do with the story. I haven't decided if there will be and couples in this story, but if there are it will definitely be a Harry/Jessica. Thanks for all the reviews, I appreciate every one of them and hope you write me more. Please Review. Can someone please tell me what a Mary- sue is? I know that I probably sound stupid but I have no idea what a Mary- sue is, lol.
