What Else Can Happen

Chapter 4: The Battles to Come

It has been a fairly uneventful week thought Harry as he realized that there were 4 weeks left until school started. He was now 15 years old and had gotten cards and gifts from Hermione, Ron, Sirius & Remus, Hagrid. After all these had arrived a large black raven had shown up with an unsigned note and package this had made Harry a little nervous. Hermione's note said:

Harry,

Hope you enjoy the gift and that you have had a good summer so far. Hope to see you soon.

Hermione

She had sent him a book of defensive spells. Just like Hermione Harry thought, from Ron he had received a set of jokes and the note read:

Hey Harry

Hope this reaches you ok, Fred and George helped put together your gift. No word from Dumbledore yet, hopefully soon.

Ron

Hagrid sent him a note that said

Harry

Hope things are ok, enjoy the gift. See ya at Hogwarts.

Hagrid

The gift from Hagrid was a book on creatures of myths and legends. Remus and Sirius had both written a note, which surprised Harry.

Harry

Hope things are going well with the muggles, I will possibly see you this year. Remus wanted to write too. Later

Sirius

Harry

Be careful and on the look out for anything suspicious. You may see us sooner than you think. Happy Birthday.

Remus

The gift that he received from them was a necklace with a stag and fox pendant attached; a small note indicated that they would explain about it later. The note that was unsigned simply said:

Harry

I don't know me, but I knew your parents, I hope you are well and look forward to meeting you.

The gift appeared to be a book of some sort, but the pages were blank. There was an inscription engraved on the cover, it said: To see the truth look into your heart, and you will find what you seek. He decided that he would figure out what the inscription meant later. This had all been about a week ago.

He was currently asleep and dreaming, he saw Hogwarts and there was a battle going on. He saw death eaters, dementors and Voldemort. He saw people fighting; this included the cat from before. The battle was looking bad for the teachers and students, when he heard a familiar voice in his mind say "Hello", Harry turned to see the creature from before and replied "Hello, may I know your name?" She looked thoughtful for a moment "I suppose it wouldn't hurt anything to tell you, call me Freya." "Ok, what are you doing here Freya?" asked Harry, "I am here to help you with these dreams and to see what you see. Though, this dream is worse then the others – I can't help you with it but I know who can. Until we meet again, good luck." And she left, about 2 minutes later a woman stepped from the shadows. She was tall, slim and well muscled with short copper colored hair with pale blonde highlights, pale skin and eyes that matched Freya's. There was something else about her that Harry couldn't place what it was. She looked at him and spoke "It is nice to meet you." Her voice shocked him because it had a phoenix song like quality to it. "Hello" he replied, he felt more at ease during the rest of the dream, which showed three separate battles. When it ended she told him to remember and record it before turning and walking back into the shadows. Her voice floated back to him "Goodbye till later Harry."

Harry woke wondering about the women he had seen as he wrote about his dream and decided to see Dumbledore as soon as school started to ask him about her. She hadn't seemed that old, probably about Sirius and Remus's age; and he wondered if they knew her. She hadn't seemed to be threatening, though there seemed to be a concealed power of some kind within her.

Back at Arabella's, Raven awoke sort of agitated because she knew that Harry would find out he she was eventually and she had hoped to keep her identity a secret for a bit longer. However she also knew that it couldn't be helped because she had needed to appear in her human form for that dream. Now she knew what to expect to be coming and that Dumbledore would know as well through Harry's journal.
