Chapter Six: When The Bell *cough* Cuckoo Tolls
Draco's perfectly shaped eyebrow lifted. "Are you really so dense Potter? Or are you just happy being miserable?"
Harry opened his mouth to snap a reply but Draco was quick to cut him off.
"Save it for a Hufflepuff Potter. I don't have much time left. The message I'm supposed to deliver is this: tonight you will be visited by three familiar spirits. The first will remind you of your past, the second will show you unknown truths of the present, and the last will reveal a future that could come to pass if you allow it. Learn the lessons well. Expect the first in an hour, when the bell tolls-"
"What bell?"
"Huh?"
"You said when the bell tolls. What bell? I don't own a bell, there's no clock tower anywhere near here. What bell?"
Draco slapped a palm over his eyes and let out a frustrated sigh. "Fine, what kind of clock do you have?"
"A cuckoo-clock Mrs. Weasley gave me for Christmas a couple years ago."
A disgusted cough, "What horrid taste. Oh well, whatever, just go with it I guess. Expect the first when your bird cuckoos one."
Just like that Draco vanished. Leaving Harry more than a little bewildered. "Was I hallucinating again? He said I wasn't but then again, if I was hallucinating I'm pretty sure the hallucination would've said the same thing to reassure me, which it just did I guess. I could be dreaming, but why would I dream I'm in my own bedroom? Maybe I'm dreaming that I'm awake, wondering if I'm dreaming."
He pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, "Either way, since it's painfully obvious that my brain has ceased to function, I'm going back to bed."
And he did just that.
One A.M.
CUCK-OO
Harry jerked awake, glaring at the clock on the wall. Had it always been that loud? He sighed and stood to turn it off.
"Oh Harry…"
A/N: I feel kind of evil leaving you with all these cliffhangers but since there's only a day between, I don't feel all that guilty. So anyway, I have yet to get my confirmation email that I updated this story on the fifth, thus, I stayed up late so that I could post the chapter for the sixth, on the sixth. So hopefully you'll get notification of that chapter in time, unless its just me who's not getting the email *shrugs* Its so crazy, my story "Your Song" only has one review, but its in like five communities. Which I find rather odd, but whatever. Hope you are enjoying so far and as always - review!
....
Alright, I admit it, I'm a bit of a review whore. Or maybe I'm a slut, cuz I do so enjoy what I do. Idk, what do you think?
Update: ahahaha, so I got the email for chapter five, not two minutes after I posted this chapter *shakes head* how ridiculous. Anyway, I had Bell crossed out on the title, but it didn't save so the cough will have to do. Oh well...
