'Great, I'm going to have to study instead of breakfest…maybe Hermoine could help me.' He remembered his encounter with Voldemort. He sat up quickly.
"Woa there Harry!" Ron said. "Are you okay?"
Harry closed his eyes. He didn't want it to be true.
"Harry? Come on. Tell me what happened. You were screaming and grabbing your scar like mad. We had to put a silencer on you to keep you from waking everyone up. What happened?"
Harry wiped a tear from his cheek and looked at Ron and Hermoine.
"Oh God!" He grabbed Ron and Hermoine's hand and held them tightly. "I don't want to loose you guys. I love you so much…"
"We're not leaving you Harry. We're right here. We're not going anyware. Never. Right Ron?"
"Of course. We're your best friends. You know that right Harry?" Ron asked.
"Yes." Croaked Harry. "You're the best friends any wizard or witch could have." He smiled up at them. His tears broke freely. "Oh God, but I'm so young. Not yet, please, not now." He started to shake and Hermoine embraced him.
"Blimy Harry! Your not going anywhere. Your staying with us. For Merlins sake, tell us what happened!"
"Ron!" Hermoine hissed.
Harry sighed. "Fine." Harry pulled away from Hermoine and sat back. He took a deep breathe and started.
"I was dreaming about Snape, he was taking points away, as usual, when I heard Voldemort call my name. My scar started to hurt. I was curious to know if he had killed someone or was just happy…then, he shows up. I see him, just alone in the darkness. He's coming closer to me. My scar is burning like last year, like when he was right next to me. He said that" Harry sighed. "he's coming to Hogwarts. I try to tell him that Dumbledore wont let him, but he continued. He says to meet him at7 this morning on the Quidditch Field. He says, to not bring anyone. If I do, he will kill them. He wants to duel me. To finish me off, once and for all. And" Harry took another deep breath and began again. "while he said this he sent a curse on me. On of the Unforgettable's. Crucio. Twice. And I felt it! I felt the pain as if he were right there!" Now his tears rolled freely down his face.
"I'll meet him! And fight for my parents! For Dumbledore! For my life!" He closed his eyes and waited for their reply. When he got none he opened his eyes to see their expressions.
Rons whole face was white as chalk. He looked as if he had just seen a ghost.
Hermoine's face was shocked and had a look of total disbelief.
When none of them replied after a while, Harry sighed and got up. That set them off.
"Harry!" He turned. "Are you really going to f-fight You-Know-Who?" Hermoine asked.
"You can't! You won't! No Harry! You can't now. Not now, not ever." Ron said weakly.
"I'm so sorry guys. But I have to. Its my destiny. Nows my time, I guess. I'm sorry, truly I am." He turned and made his way out of the Gryffindor Common Room.
"Where are you going?" Ron said.
"Getting revenge Ron. For Voldemort killing my parents."
"No your not. Not right now you aren't." Hermoine ran after him down the corridor.
"Harry! First get Dumbledore or McGonagall before even stepping out on that field."
"And what can they do?" Harry stopped and turned. "Unless they lock me up in a cell or bind me in Devils Snare, I'm going out to that field alone! Unless you want to come and get killed…" He quickly added. "But please don't. Not even for me."
"Potter!" They all heard the all-to-familiar yell of Professor Snape and groaned.
"Want to wake up the whole school? Now, why are you three up so early and wandering at this time day? Hum?" He glared at the three students.
"We need Dumbledore now." Ron blurted out.
"I doubt Professor Dumbludore is even awake at this hour-"
"-What time is it?" Harry blurted out. Snape glared at him darkly.
"Do not! I repeat, DO NOT! Interrupt me ever again Potter! Is that clear?"
Harry had totally forgotten about the present when telling Ron and Hermoine about his dream, he wasn't even sure if he had an hour or 5 minutes until Voldemort came.
"What time is it." He said a little stronger this time. Snape looked ready to kill.
"Whats all this commotion about?" Filch appeared with Mrs. Norris at his side.
Snape snapped out of his death glare at Harry and said "These three were wondering around at early hours making a racket."
"Hum, sounds like detention to me." Filch replied wile glancing at the trio.
"That's up to Professor McGonagall out of class." Hermoine added.
Snape huffed and turned. "Come you three." They obediently followed. While they walked to McGonagall's office Hermoine whispered "Its 5:00. Just to let you know." And she handed Harry his watch. Harry mouthed a 'thanks' in return and continued thinking.
When they got to McGonagall's office, Snape rang a special bell and after a while, a sleepy eyed McGonagall appeared.
"These three were found wandering the corridors this morning and making a lot of commotion and racket. Detention would be correct punishment, I presume."
"Thank you Professor Snape. You may leave now." Snape eyed Harry and reluctantly left with a smirk.
