The next day they were on their way to breakfast holding hands as usual.
When they got there they sat down and grabbed some food.
"Hey guys." Haley said smiling.
"Hi Haley, Neville." Hermione said.
Since she's the daughter and goddaughter of two Marauders teachers from the four of them are terrified they're going to become them. Since Snape is the potions master he's the most terrified. Especially after Haley and Malfoy's history like the Marauders and Snape's history at school. But the other way around with them.
"Hi Hermione." Neville said.
"So, what do we have today?" Haley asked.
Ron and Hermione looked at her schedule.
"Double potions, charms, transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts." she said.
Ron and Neville groaned about double potions.
"Oh come on guys, you're doing fine. I help you with your homework and we do everything together right Nev?" Haley said.
Neville smiled and nodded.
"I guess." Ron said.
After breakfast they were in potions and as usual Haley was helping Neville with the potion. She would have him get the ingredients and she would do the cutting while Neville got the ingredients put together, have her check his measurements and such before they put it in the caldron.
First year Snape was surprised at how good she was and watching her closely. The more he looked at her the more like Lily she is.
Throughout the day she was helping Neville as usual and he worked hard. She had quidditch practice and as usual Neville, Ron and Hermione were there to watch her practice.
Gryffindor has won the quidditch cup since first year. The week after the quidditch cup Haley, Ron, Neville Hermione had gone on the 'mission' they had. They started to call them a mission because they had been doing it for almost five years.
They were also starting to wonder if Dumbledore has been testing Haley for the past four years and getting her ready for the next war.
Dear Moony, Wormtail and Padfoot,
It's not that easy with Voldemort back and my scar bothering me constantly. I had another dream like the one I told you about. There's a room with glass balls in it. And the number 96 is what I see every time I see one. What's going on? Well that's it I'll see you guys on Christmas!
Haley
After that she went to the owlry and found Hedwig.
"Hey girl, ready to see Sirius, Peter and Remus with a letter?" she said smiling.
Hedwig chirped and then stuck out her leg.
So Haley tied the letter and then Hedwig was gone.
After that she headed to the common room and then went to bed.
A week had gone by and she was waiting for a reply from Sirius.
"Haley, are you alright?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, I'm just waiting for a reply from Sirius." she said.
"I'm sure it will be here soon." Neville said.
All of a sudden the owls came and Hedwig was coming now.
Haley smiled. When Hedwig was there she went on Haley's shoulder and held out her leg.
When Haley had it in her hand she handed Hedwig some bacon.
"Thanks Hedwig."
She chirped, bit Haley's ear as usual and then left. Everyone could tell that they had a strong familiar.
Dear Haley,
The dreams you've been seeing isn't good. I don't know what they are but I'm sure Dumbledore does. I know he's been ignoring you all year but I still think that the next time you have one go tell Dumbledore. Remus and Peter agree with me. Tell Ron, Hermione and Neville we said hi and see you Christmas break!
Sirius
Haley sighed.
"How am I supposed to tell him if he's been ignoring me all year?"
"You'll find some way to get his attention." Neville said.
After breakfast they all headed to class.
Before they knew it it was a week before Christmas break and Haley was packing up and getting ready for tomorrow.
When she was all set she went down to lunch.
"So, what are you doing for Christmas?" Hermione asked Neville.
"Going to see my gran and on Christmas Eve stay at Grimauld Place with you guys." he said.
"I'm going to stay at Grimauld Place for the first time. I'm always gonna call Hogwarts my home. Even though I don't have to go to the Dursley's I'll always call it home." Haley said.
"We're going to be at Grimauld Place to." Ron said.
After lunch they headed to transfiguration.
A few hours later Haley was asleep and saw a snake.
It was Nagini. Then she heard something and saw Mr. Weasley.
'Voldemort is after something. Something he didn't have the last time.' she heard Sirius say.
"Haley."
Then she saw Nagini bite him.
"Ahh!"
She tossed and turned while she listened to him.
Finally she woke up and took deep breaths. She saw Hermione look at her.
A few minutes later Haley, Ron and the other three Weasley's were at Dumbledore's office.
"In the dream were you standing next to the victim or looking down at the screen?" Dumbledore asked not looking at her.
"Neither, I only heard, Professor can you please just tell me what's going on?" Haley asked.
"Everard, Arthur's on guard duty tonight. Make sure he's found by the right people."
"Sir." Haley said.
"Phineas. You must go to your portrait at Grimmauld Place. Tell them that Arthur Weasley is gravely injured... and his children will be arriving there soon by Portkey."
"They've got him, Albus. It was close, but they think he'll make it. What's more, the Dark Lord failed to acquire it." Everard said.
"Oh, thank goodness. Next we need to..."
"Look at me!" Haley yelled.
Everyone looked at her in shock.
"What's happening to me?"
"You wished to see me, headmaster?" Snape said.
"Oh, Severus. I'm afraid we can't wait. Not even till the morning. Otherwise, we'll all be vulnerable." Dumbledore said.
So he took Haley down to his quarters. When they got there he had her sit down and started looking for something.
"It appears there's a connection... between the Dark Lord's mind and your own. Whether he is, as yet, aware of this connection is, for the moment, unclear. Pray he remains ignorant." he said.
"You mean, if he knows about it, then... he'll be able to read my mind?" she asked.
"Read it, control it... unhinge it. In the past, it was often the Dark Lord's pleasure... to invade the minds of his victims... creating visions designed to torture them into madness. Only after extracting the last exquisite ounce of agony... only when he had them literally begging for death, would he finally... kill them. Used properly, the power of Occlumency... will help shield you from access or influence. In these lessons, I will attempt to penetrate your mind. You will attempt to resist. Prepare yourself."
He took out his wand.
"Legilimens."
She shut her eyes tightly and tried to get him out.
"Concentrate, Potter. Focus."
