I woke up, lying on my back. I sat up, and noticed that no one else was in bed. I went to look at my clock, but it wasn't on my dresser, in fact, my dresser wasn't even there. I looked out the window, and everything was dark outside. But strangely enough, my room was fully lit, light it was daytime. I got out of bed and went down the stairs. I saw Harry standing in the foyer, smiling.
"Harry? What are you doing here?" I asked confused, but happy, standing in front of him.
"I'm going to break your heart," he said plainly. Actually, it wasn't plain, like without any feeling. He sounded, happy about it. He even smiled once he said it.
"What? Harry, what are you talking about?" I asked confused. I didn't even care what he said. Well I did, but I was too confused.
"You know it to be true, Stephanie. I'm the boy-who-lived. I'm a celebrity. Everyone cares about me and my tragic past, but all I care about is me," Harry said, smirking slightly.
"Harry? What's going on? Are you ok? I don't think you're feeling well. Sit down and I'll go find one of my aunts, or Alexa," I said, grabbing Harry's arm, scared, trying to steer him towards the couch.
"You just don't seem to understand, do you? You are so young and naive. All I care about is fame. Eternal glory. Power. You're just a pawn. I could care less if you get hurt. In fact, I'm hoping you do get hurt."
"Harry! Please stop! I don't know what you're talking about, but this isn't the Harry I know and like! Please, stop this!" I pleaded, tears starting to well up in my eyes.
"You're right," he said, changing from Harry to a hideous figure. He was a sickish dark pale color. He was bald, no hair on his entire body. He had gross purple veins stretching all over his body. He had no nose, only two slits for nostrils where his nose should have been. I had never seen this person before, but I knew it was Voldemort. Or what he should look like at least. I gasped and let go of his arm, taking a few steps back.
"Wha-what the hell are you doing here?" I asked, afraid. Okay, I have to be dreaming now.
"I'm not here to harm you, Cradey. But to warn you. Everything Harry said is true. Maybe he doesn't mean it right now, but he will. He will break your heart. He will change into a monster. He'll think that you're in danger, and change. He'll hurt you, thinking it'll save you. He'll become a heartless monster. (You: like Kenya West? Me: No, Voldemort doesn't even know who that is.) He will hurt everyone who cares about him. He will gain power, more and more power all the time. The only way to stop him, you ask? You. In his mind you will be what made him who he will be. So naturally he was be afraid that you will also be the one to take his power. He will make you out to be his enemy. He will also fear me. Fear that he is not more powerful than I. We will be fighting on the same side. For the same cause. Harry will be evil, and you and I, good," Voldemort spoke, walking around me. I stood there, taking in what he said. No, he's lying. It's Voldemort. Harry's enemy, the good side of the wizarding world's enemy, by extent, my enemy!
"No," I said, clenching my fists. "Harry will never hurt me. He will never be evil. We will never be on the same side."
"Then, you will die," he said, pulling out his wand and pointing it at me. "Avada Kedavra!" I screamed and jumped to my right, trying to avoid the curse.
I suddenly woke up, and was flinging myself over Sage and Alexa, who were sleeping to my right.
"Whoa! Hello, Stephanie!" Sage said as I rolled over her. I guess I woke them up, as Jennifer and Suze asked what was going on, and Alexa said something similar to Sage. I hit my head on my nightstand, landed on the floor, and rolled over a few times til I was closer to the door.
"Oh my god! Stephanie, what's wrong? What happened?" Alexa said as she jumped out of bed. She always seemed to be the more caring sister.
"Bad dream," I mumbled into my carpet. I heard doors opening down the hall and footsteps.
"Ohh, like Harry's?" Sage asked.
"You mean her lover-boy?" Jennifer asked. She's still on this? I thought she might have slept it off.
"No, and shut up Jennifer," I mumbled again, too lazy to get up.
"Is everything alright? What's going on?" Prue asked as she opened my door, the corner hitting me in my head. "Oh, Stephanie! I'm so sorry!"
"Ow," I grumbled.
"Stephanie?" Phoebe asked, walking through the small door opening. "Lemme help you up."
"Can't I just lie here?" I asked lazily.
"No," All three of my aunts said. I sighed and rolled over, allowing them to help me up. I stood up, put my hand on my throbbing head, and looked outside. Phew, everything looks normal.
"What time is it?" Suze mumbled.
"8:30," Alexa said. "And no you can't go back to sleep, Sage." Sage groaned, and sat up straight.
"Well if you girls get up I'll make you some pancakes," Piper said, following the rest of my aunts back to their rooms. I sat back down on my bed and sighed.
"Stephanie? What happened in your dream?" Jennifer asked.
"Yea. What was so bad that you screamed, and rolled over Alexa and me?" Sage asked.
"Well…" I closed my eyes, trying to recall everything that did happen. Once I could remember most of it, I opened my eyes back up and told them all of it.
"Oh wow," Suze said.
"That's some dream," Sage said.
"So let me get this straight," Jennifer said. "You woke up, went downstairs, Harry started talking nonsense, turned into Moldy Shorts, told you basically you two would be on the same side, and tried to kill you."
"Ya. Pretty much," I said.
"Well, it was just a dream, wasn't it? Just clear your mind and forget about it. Now common, there should be some yummy pancakes waiting for us downstairs," Alexa said while standing up and walking downstairs. I stood up and followed Alexa downstairs.
We sat around the island and enjoyed some delicious strawberry pancakes. Afterwards, we went upstairs and took our turns showering and changing. Once I showered, I changed into a cute red plaid tank, some dark wash capris, and some black low top converse. For the rest of the day, we hung out in my room playing games. We played UNO, spoons, ERS, BS, Clue, Disney Monopoly, Wii sports, and other fun games. At three we orbed Jennifer and Suze back to their houses, so all of us could pack, since we'd be staying at the Weasley's til we left for Hogwarts.
Once I finished packing, around four fifteen, I dragged my stuff downstairs and plopped myself on the couch, waiting for everybody else. A few minutes later, I was joined by Alexa, as Sage went to go get Jennifer and Suze. Once everyone was gathered back in my living room, trunks and cages with animals in hand, we waited. Rather than waiting in silence, we plugged in one of our iPods to the speakers, and listened to Radio Disney.
Around four forty, we started getting a little worried, until we heard sounds coming from the fireplace. We turned off the music, as Mr. Weasley walked out.
"Hello girls, good afternoon," Mr. Weasley said politely. The five of smiled, and returned our greetings. "The boys should be behind me soon. Where are your aunts?"
"Well Piper's at the club, getting ready for tonight, Prue had a photo shoot to do, and Phoebe's somewhere in the kitchen," Alexa explained. As Phoebe heard her name, walking into the living room, Fred, George, and Ron stumbled out of the fireplace. As Phoebe and Mr. Weasley discussed the plan, the eight of us talked about the match and such.
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, causing the ten of us to be knocked to our feet.
