Chapter 28 Dreams of the Future?
New years passed in a flash, and the rest of January seemed to blur by, as Harry kept busy with quidditch, the D.A., and lots of homework. He had hardly anytime to breathe much less any time for Ginny and his other friends. All was quiet with Voldemort and the remaining Death Eaters. After the attack in Hogsmeade, Voldemort was laying low for a while, trying to rebuild his forces. Harry didn't feel any more pain in his scar, which he welcomed with great relief. It was hard to lead a normal life with flashes of pain pulsing through his head. He often wondered how he was ever to kill Voldemort. Voldemort had been studying and learning so much longer than he had. Harry began to feel that it was hopeless, for how could he defeat someone so powerful.
Harry just shook his head to clear it and continued to study at the common room table. Now that Charms was done he'd have to start on History of Magic.
Opening the text, he began reading. "Chapter 33: The Uneventful Times." Harry fell asleep with his book open.
There was a smoky haze that burned his eyes and screaming, lots of screaming. He dreamed about the final battle, which took place right outside of Hogwarts. Harry was walking through the battlefield, stepping over the bodies of students and Death Eaters. Harry saw the wounded lying on the ground, struggling to get up, or just moaning. Tears burned his eyes as he saw the familiar faces of his friends. They lay there covered in blood and not moving. He struggled to keep his head clear, as he passed by the bodies of Remus Lupin, and Dumbledore. Harry had a hard time choking back the sobs.
He told himself over and over again, "I'm only dreaming. I'm only dreaming." He continued walking and looking around for Voldemort or his body, but did not see it. Instead Harry saw his own body lying there on the ground. He felt cold chills come over him. It was the most unnerving experience, seeing your dead lifeless body staring up at you. Harry heard a cold cruel laugh; he looked up, and saw Voldemort shoot out a green beam of light out of his wand. Ginny fell, and a scream tore from Harry's throat.
"NOOO!"
Then the scene changed, and all the blood and gore was gone. The battlefield was replaced by a grassy meadow. He saw two figures walking towards him. As they walked closer Harry realized that was his parents. They were glowing with a soft light.
"Mum, Dad?"
James and Lily just nodded with tears in their eyes.
"All this is a dream?"
James cleared his throat. "Yes, it is."
"What does all this mean? Mum? Dad?"
James and Lily looked at each other then at Harry. Lily spoke up first. "It was a vision of what can still happen Harry. This was to show you what would happen if you lose hope and faith. This is only a what if scenario. So, as long as you believe in yourself, you will defeat Voldemort. But if you don't, what you saw will come to pass."
"Can I defeat him? Truly?"
"Yes, Harry, you can. But you can't do it unless you believe that you can. Another thing you must work on is relying on others, rather than only yourself. Your greatest flaw is your need to do everything by yourself. You're an incredible force alone, but you are unstoppable with your friends by your side."
Harry looked up at his mum. He saw the love shine in her green eyes. Harry felt a lump in his throat. It was the kind of love he wasn't used to getting. It was the love of a mother. Harry had to squeeze his eyes shut to stop the tears from flowing down his face. He didn't want to cry especially in front of his parents. Harry felt the loving arms of his mother as she wrapped her arms around him. He felt her love for him, and it was overwhelming. Harry felt a hand touch his shoulder, it was his dad.
"Harry, we love you, and we're proud of you. No matter what the future holds, we will always be with you."
Harry stared at his dad's brown eyes. "I love you too, dad."
"And Harry."
"Yeah?"
"Don't forget to prank the Slytherins."
Harry had to laugh at that. "I won't, dad."
James pulled out a silver chain with two charms on it. One was a stag, the other a lily. "This is so you know this was real and not just a dream." James put the chain around Harry's neck.
"Thank you dad, mum."
They just looked at him with tears in their eyes. "We love you son and good luck."
James and Lily began slowly backing away from him. Harry realized it was time for them to go.
"Goodbye, Harry, till we meet again. Until then we will watch over you."
"Bye mum, bye dad." Harry whispered back. He felt himself get pulled from the dream, back to reality.
"Nooo!" His mind was screaming he didn't want to leave his parents, which he had finally found. Harry felt light shining on his face, but Harry kept his eyes shut. He was trying to will himself back to sleep. Finally Harry realized that wasn't possible, and he opened his eyes. He felt around his neck for the silver chain. "Thank God," Harry whispered as he grasped it in his hands. Harry, from that moment on, knew that his parents never really left him. He also realized that they would always be watching over him.
I know such a short chapter, and it doesn't have much of Ginny in it. Sorry! I decided Harry needed to see his parents. Ok as always much thanks to Jim I don't know what I would do with out you. To all the readers thanks your reviews, please keep them coming. To all those who reads this, and don't review. Please do, it helps us authors out a lot. I'm sorry it took so long, but I have had a lot of morning sickness lately {it should be called all day sickness}. So I write whenever I feel well enough to. Until next time, cheers! Dolphingirl79
