Chapter 11

Paige was sitting in her living room in her new home in London. She looked around very confused. Why was she home? What happened? She shook her head and got up from the couch to see where her mother is.

"Mum?" she called out. Her mother came out of the kitchen, drying her hands. "Mum? Did you get me from-mum?" Paige looked at Patty questioningly as her mother walked past her and headed to the front door. Paige peaked around the threshold to see who was at the door. She saw a tall figure in the doorway, but the hood of his cloak hid his face. Paige could only see an outline of his mouth and nose.

"Oh," Patty said, grimacing. "What do you want?"

The dark figure entered the house without being invited in. He brushed past Paige without even looking at her. Patty rolled her eyes. "Come in if you must," she muttered. Patty followed the man into their living room.

"I see you have made yourself comfortable," Patty said coldly. "Again, what do you want?"

He gave Patty a wicked smile. "Tut, tut, Patricia. Where are your manners? Aren't you going to offer me a drink?"

Patty scowled at him, but she did not refuse him. "Well, what do you want?" she snapped.

"A nice, cold brandy should do it for me," he said, in a cold voice that made Paige shudder. She walked up to her mom while she was pouring the mystery man a drink.

"He's so rude! Why are you bothering with him?" she asked Patty, but she didn't seem to hear her. Then something occurred to Paige. Is she still mad at me from that fight we had? "Mum, are you still mad at me? Mum!" she tried waving down Patty, but she continued to ignore her. Patty closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Don't let him know where she is," she said to herself. Paige looked at her mother questioningly. Patty took another deep breath and brought the drink over to the man.

"Here," she said, practically throwing the drink at him. She sat down on the couch across from where the man was sitting. "For the last time, why are you here?"

"You know exactly why I am here, Matthews," the man said calmly. "I want to know were the girl is."

The girl? Paige thought. Does he mean me?

"What makes you think I would ever tell you where Paige is?" Patty said calmly. Paige looked up in alarm. He did mean her. What did this guy want?

"My informants tell me she resides in Hogwarts, but naturally, I knew you'd have more access to her than I," he said, in the same cold, even voice.

"Oh?" Patty said her face emotionless.

"Yes. Now Matthews, if you do recall of a certain prophecy-"

"Of course I do," Patty snapped. "This in fact has NOTHING to do with Paige. I do not understand why you are after her."

"If you recall her bloodline, she does have a brother who is trying to defeat me, who has EVERYTHING to do with the prophecy-"

"Again, nothing to do with her-"

"But it has to do with her brother."

"I don't care. I told myself all those years ago after YOU were destroyed that Paige would never become involved in all this mess. This is between you and him. It has nothing to do with Paige!" Patty yelled.

"Do not raise your voice at me," the man said.

Patty gave him a hard look. "I will raise my voice if I want to. Leave."

"You still have information withheld regarding your daughter," he said, not moving.

"I will never tell you anything," Patty said. "Leave."

"Very well," he said, rising. "You leave me no other choice. Crucio." Patty had no time to block the torture curse and was hit immediately. "BRING HER TO ME!" He bellowed.

Patty screamed in pain. Paige ran from her spot to her mother's side. "MUM!" she yelled. She turned to the man. "Stop it! I'm right here! Take me, just stop hurting her!" He ignored her. He released Patty of the curse.

"That should be enough to make you speak. Summon her home," he said.

Patty looked up at him with anger in her eyes. "Never," she rasped.

"Very well," he said. "Crucio." Patty screeched in pain when Paige realized she was not home. She walked up to him and grabbed the hood of his cloak to reveal who he was. She looked into the eyes of Lord Voldemort, who was laughing cruelly at the sight of Patty. Paige screamed in horror and realized she could do nothing.

.x.

Paige woke up immediately drenched in sweat and gasping for air. She sat up so quickly wiping the sweat and tears off of her face. She quickly jumped out of bed and ran for the door, but someone grabbed her.

"Paige! What the bloody hell are you doing?" Harry exclaimed.

"I need-I have to find-I-" she gasped, looking wildly around. She couldn't breathe or talk, but she knew she had to find Dumbledore. Harry grabbed her and stopped her from going out the door. Madam Pomfrey came out of her office with a stern look on her face.

"What is this excitement?" she exclaimed.

"It's Paige," Harry started. "I don't know what's wrong with her!"

"Alright, then let's get he on her bed," she said. It took both her and Harry to force Paige on the bed and calm her down. Whatever she dreamed about, Harry thought, got her really shaken up.

Finally Paige calmed down, but she was still crying. Not sobbing, but she felt hot tears fall down her face.

"I need to find Dumbledore," she said in a shaky voice. "I need to see him!"

"Not in this state!" Madam Pomfrey stated. "I will examine you first then, maybe Harry will take you to him if you seem well enough."

"NO! You don't understand!" Paige cried. "Something happened to my mum-I think-"

Madam Pomfrey looked at her. "Alright, I'll finish this quickly." She gave Paige a quick exam. When it was determined she was well, Paige jumped off of the bed and headed for the door.

"Wait just a minute!" Madam Pomfrey said. "Let me at least heal your bruises-" but Paige was already opening the door, when she ran smack into Professor Dumbledore.

"Professor! Thank goodness! Please-I need to speak with you about…" her voice trailed off. His usually twinkling eyes, had sadness in them and Paige knew why. "No…" she said softly, new tears forming in her eyes.

"Paige, I am very sorry…" he said trying to comfort the crying Paige. "Madam Pomfrey, I will be taking Ms. Matthews to my office. She will be back later." Professor Dumbledore led Paige to his office with the gargoyle statue.

"Sugar Quills," he said and he and Paige stepped onto the moving stairs. In his office, he sat her down gently in the chair in front of his desk. She continued to quietly cry while he patiently waited for her to release her sorrow. He took out some chocolate that knew would help her calm down. "Paige, eat some of this. I promise, you will feel a bit better." Paige took it and ate only a little piece, but her sobs became more controlled and finally, she calmed down.

"Ms. Matthews, I just received an owl saying that your mother has been under attack by-" Dumbledore started.

"Lord Voldemort," she finished, sniffing and eating the rest of the chocolate. "I know."

Dumbledore looked at her in surprise. "You know?"

Paige nodded. "That's why I wanted to come and see you. I had this dream…" and she proceeded to tell him all about her dream. When she was finished, Dumbledore became pensive. It was quiet for a long while.

"Sir?" Paige asked. Dumbledore looked up and almost looked surprised to see Paige sitting in front of him. Then he grew concerned.

"He mentioned a prophecy and a-brother?" he asked. She nodded.

"Sir, is it all true? What was he talking about? Do I really have a brother? What prophecy? Why did my mother not tell me any of this?" she questioned. She prayed that Dumbledore had an answer for her.

He smiled sadly at her. "I'm afraid I cannot answer those questions for you right now," he said. "They will become answered, especially by an unexpected source. You must trust me on this Paige." Paige grew disappointed. Dumbledore turned to her again, but this time, with fear in his eyes.

"You are in danger Paige. You need to be extremely careful with anything you do," he said with apprehension. "Please, be careful."

Paige saw how much her headmaster was worried about her safety. She nodded in agreement. "I promise I will Professor." She got up from her seat, but something else occurred to her.

"Sir, would it be possible for me to see my mother? I want to make sure she's alright," Paige said, in a whisper.

Dumbledore smiled. "Of course you may. But you may only be there for an hour because of your safety and the amount of schoolwork you have to catch up on," he said, his eyes twinkling.

"How long was I in the hospital?" Paige questioned.

"You were out cold for one week Paige," he said.

"Oh," she responded. She chuckled a little to herself.

"Ms. Matthews, before you leave for St. Mungo's please do one thing," Dumbledore said.

"What's that, Professor?"

"Please go see Madam Pomfrey or she'll have my head."
