This Chapter: Harry receives two mysterious packages.
Now.........on with the story!
Harry put the pile of presents on his bed. He sat down on his bed and pulled the hangings shut around him. He then unwrapped the mysterious present. There was a box and two envelopes with his name on them. He picked up the first one and opened it.
Dear Harry,
This was left in my possession after the death of your parents. It was their pensieve. I'm sure that you will find a good use for it.
Professor Dumbledore
He put the letter down and picked up the other envelope. He knew who this letter must be from. He slowly opened the envelope and took out the sheet of parchment it contained.
Dear Harry,
If you are reading this, then Voldemort has succeeded in killing us. We left this
pensieve with Dumbledore along with this letter and instructions to give it to you when you are ready to see the memories it contains. Hopefully, you will be with Sirius right now, so you can share this with him. We leave you our love and good luck.
Love,
Mum & Dad
Harry set the letter down and reached for the box. Just as he was about to pick it up, he heard the rustling of wings and an owl hooting. He pulled his hangings open and saw a black owl perched on his bedside table. It was holding a letter in its beak. When it saw Harry, it dropped the letter and flew out the window. Harry hesitated before picking up the letter and opening it. The letter was written in unfamiliar handwriting.
Harry began to read.
Potter,
I hope you enjoyed your little fun today, as it's not going to last for long. Mark my words, you are going to die a slow and painful death after watching all you friends die. This is not a threat, it is a promise.
Lord Voldemort
Harry dropped the letter with a gasp and sank to his knees. Voldemort was never going to leave him alone. He was going to kill his friends. At that, his scar began to burn and he passed out.
Sirius's POV
Sirius got up from the chair where he had been sitting and said, "I'm going to check on Harry." He walked up the staircase and into the sixth year boys' dormitory.
He saw Harry lying on the floor and ran over to him. He was going to wake him up, when he saw a letter lying on the floor next to Harry. He picked it up and read it.
"Merlin." he whispered as he stuffed the letter in the pocket of his robes. He then picked Harry up and put him on his bed. Sirius walked back into the Common Room and told Ron and Hermione to keep and eye on Harry, then went to Dumbledore's office.
Harry's POV
Harry opened his eyes. He was on his bed. How he got there, he didn't know. All he could remember was reading a letter from Voldemort and falling to the floor. He sat up and looked around. There wasn't anyone in the room, but the letter was gone from the floor. He got out of bed and began searching for the letter.
He heard the rustling of wings and once again the black owl was in his room. This time, a package was tied to its feet. Harry made no move to untie the package. Seeing that Harry want going to untie the package, the owl leaned over and untied the package with its beak. Once it was free, the owl turned around and flew out the window.
Harry backed away from the package, afraid of what it might contain. Ron and Hermione came into the room and saw Harry backing away from something. They looked in the direction he was looking in and saw a package lying on the floor.
Ron made to pick it up, but Harry said in a strange voice, "Don't touch it."
Hermione looked into Harry's eyes and saw fear in them. After several minutes passed, Sirius came running into the room. The trio had been staring at the package the whole time.
"Umm, what are you looking at?" asked Sirius uncertainly.
Silently, Harry pointed at the floor, where a package lay untouched. Sirius waved his wand and the package unwrapped itself. Lying on the floor, surrounded by paper, was a mirror. Harry walked over to it and picked it up.
"It's just a mir-" he couldn't finish his sentence because he felt the now-familiar jerk behind his navel and the world disappeared in a swirl of colors.
Next Chapter: In the Lair
Yes, for those wondering, I updated to this chapter on purpose.
Dun da da dun. Scary music playing in the background. Where has Harry been taken? Will he come back? Will he die? Who knows? Moi!
LOL
Maybe you could try giving the plot bunnies sugar to get them to talk........
