Chapter 6: Daybreak
Sirius and Remus race after the children back to the orphanage. The door remains locked even after a barrage of spells. The only answer is the childish cackling from the ten evil children. On an indescribable impulse the race around to the back as the sun begins to rise.
Harry nods at Tom, opening his arms and baring his body and soul. He moves into his partner's body, intertwining his very essence around Harry's. This is their plan, the plan to free both Tom and himself.
When daylight comes, the other children will become invisible and harmless. Even at night, they cannot leave the orphanage without a vessel because of the wards around a ghost's death place. Only once whatever is left of their remains are burned or they find peace may they pass on. But if a piece of them is taken away while they're in a host, they may live wherever the piece of them exists.
For Tom, it is a diary which houses a lock of his hair and some of his blood. One of the children, Billy, took it off of his corpse, and sealed all of their fates.
"Harry," Tom whispers, "they are silent. The sun must have risen." Harry mentally nods and starts out of the room.
In the common hall, laughter starts up again, causing the elder child to shriek for him to run. The evil ten appear behind him singing:
"Kagome, Kagome
The bird in the cage, when, oh when will it come out
In the night of dawn, the crane and turtle slipped
Who is it in front of behind?"
The duo scream and barrel out of the doors into the playground with the others following close behind when Harry's jerked back, throwing Tom out of him.
The living wizards and Tom watch in horror as he's drug back and the orphanage collapses.
