Chapter 6

The Dream

The man walked up to a hotel and looked through the windows of each ground window. Apparently he didn't find what he was looking for. BAM! Again and again. More and more people falling to the hard, concrete sidewalk. Sometimes it wasn't even a person, sometimes it was a harmless bird or fox. But every time, BAM! Soon enough he walked into the hotel. The night guard asked who he was, but the only thing that came from his mouth was a faint word the night guard did not know of. But then he couldn't think at all. He fell to the ground with a clunk clunk. The mysterious man coldly smiled. Then he ran up the stairs trying not to make a sound. But his boots squeaked when he walked. Fortunately for the man no one woke up. He seemed to be following a trail. But there was nothing to follow. The pulled down his hood which revealed his face.

He was in his mid forties. But he looked older with a look of defeat on his face. But Ginny's mind couldn't figure out what he actually looked like because of his glasses. They where an odd shape with blue lenses. Something was weird about these glasses. Look! Something seemed to be moving in the glasses. Small, red flashes of light moved within the glasses, but only in the lenses. What could this be? Something wasn't right. The man soon stopped at a door on the third floor. He opened it with his wand and looked inside the dark room. Nobody was in the room except for the man with the odd glasses. A rage of anger filled his face and actions. He yelled, "AHHHH!!!" His voice had a low pitched tone, and it sounded very, very scary. And with that he heard loads of footsteps above him. He new what he had done now. He swore in a murmured tone. Then he was gone with a sudden pop! Then another BAM! But this one was different. It was bigger and louder than anything Ginny had ever heard before. And the funny thing was, it hit her. BAM!

Ginny awoke with a very loud scream. She sat up, breathing very hard. Harry woke up and said in a worried tone, "Ginny! Are you okay?!" She was still breathing heavily and she didn't answer. "Ginny! Talk to me, please! Ginny what happened?!" Once she got her breath back she whispered, "N-never mind, I-it was just a nightmare." Harry didn't take that answer. "No. Ginny, Tell me."

"Why should I tell you? You've never told me any of your dreams or secrets when I asked for them." She said. Harry tried to give an excuse for that, so he said, "That's not fair. All of those dreams and secrets were about Voldemort. I couldn't tell you. I would've put you in danger." Ginny was soon frustrated and said, "Oh! So you couldn't tell me because you'd put me in danger, but you could tell Ron and Hermione?!?"

"Ginny! They were involved! It's not my fault. Please… just…"

"You know what? This is stupid. We can't turn against each other now. We're all we've got. I'm sorry." She said. Harry agreed and apologized as well. Ginny said, "Well I guess I'll tell you. You'll know." Harry then said, "Okay."

"Well, I guess I was watching the scene. T-there was a man, Dark and Mysterious. And he had s- some sort of weird pair or glasses on. A- and something red was moving within them. I dunno what though… anyways. The m-man was walking around a familiar town, and he was going through this hotel, also familiar. But he was looking for something or… s-someone. He was tracking something… b-but there wasn't any evidence of anything to track. And then he opened one of the doors but nobody was in there. He got r-really angry and screamed. Then, loads of people came rushing to see what happened. But I think he disapperated before anyone saw him. And t-then…" she trailed off. Harry understood though. "But… he's gone. I mean, Voldemort is dead. He shouldn't have any followers anymore. I mean… they would've all gave up." He said. Ginny still couldn't grasp the fact, even though she wanted to. She said, "I know. But that's why it's scaring me."

There was a silence. For a long while, neither of them said anything. Then Harry spoke up, "Well, there isn't a hotel around here, Or anything for that matter. So… well right now we're okay. Are you gonna be okay?" Ginny was still silent. She finally said, "I'm fine. Just a bad dream I guess…" She sent Harry a weak smile. Then he wrapped his arms around her and eventually, they both fell asleep. Again and again Ginny saw the same scene. Over and over, but she never awoke. She knew nothing was near her and Harry. Nothing was close enough to hurt them. So after a long time of dreaming that same dream, her mind got the awful thought out of her system.

At about seven in the morning, she awoke again. This time she was feeling slightly nervous. The weather was getting colder and colder everyday. "We need to get somewhere indoors." Ginny whispered to herself.

When Harry woke up he noticed his arms were wrapped around Ginny's waist. He looked down at her and saw her lying there half asleep. Once Ginny was fully awake she told Harry they needed to go somewhere with buildings and hotels. "Harry, what's that coming toward us?" she said in a worried tone. Harry looked at the sky and saw a large bird flying towards them. An owl! It landed on top of Ginny's suitcase and plucked out its leg. The letter attached was addressed as Ginny Weasley. The couple stared at it for a moment, and then Ginny took the letter from the owl. Then she noticed there were two letters. The letter on the back of Ginny's was addressed to Harry. They both looked at each other. Oh no! Mum probably sent me a howler! Ginny thought.
