Chapter 28

Meanwhile, Harry was watching the proceedings of his funeral take place and then things could go back to normal he hoped.

He was currently staying up with the other elders, getting used to being with them and following orders. He took them mostly from Heather who looked out for him and was teaching him self-control of his emotions as well as his new abilities of becoming an elder.

He still could never get the hang of levitating. She did mention it was part of his witch side and part of being an elder.

Oh well he thought getting ready for bed which was an uncomfortable looking bench with blankets and pillows. White of course. Everything was white and cloudy where he was.

The next morning after a restless nights sleep, Harry had breakfast and got ready for the day he then went to watch his friends back at Hogwarts.

He was keeping a close eye on things as he was itching to go back down there it felt ages since he had left his friends and he was missing them terribly, Ginny especially.

Time must go quicker up here, as it was the day before his funeral already when he had just been asleep for a few hours.

Heather informed him that the time goes quicker here the next morning. "Just how quick?" he asked her and she replied a couple of days quicker.

After watching things for a while, Heather suggested a change of scenery and took him to where they usually teach him and used his powers safely.

Several hours had passed while training and he went back to watching his friends when he saw Voldemort standing in the doorway of the great hall with a few death eaters in tow.

He could see members of the order gathered there and Dumbledore confronting Voldemort with his wand. There was a stream of magic flying in the middle of the funeral.

As the magic flew about it accidently hit the coffin blowing off the side and fell of the stand. And he could see himself sticking out of the coffin.

He was quite shocked at the interruption and guessed Voldemort would show up. He could see Ginny crying in her mother's arms and Ron and Hermione shocked faces at seeing him lying there.

Voldemort apparated away after seeing the body lying there and Dumbledore had to tell everyone that it wasn't really him.

After clearing everything up, the order had a little get together in the common room with a buffet of cakes and sausage rolls.

Then after a while Dumbledore went back to his office and Harry heard him say "HARRY CAN YOU HEAR ME…THERE IS SOMETHING I NEED TO ASK YOU?"

Looking at Heather she sent him down with a wave of her hand and Harry found himself in Dumbledore's office facing the headmaster.

"Yes sir?" he asked.

I need to show you something he said going over to the cupboard where there was several tubes of glowing liquid and glowing bowl of something.

"It's a pensive" said Dumbledore as he lifted a tube and opened it. "It's where you store your memories and you can see them when ever you forget something or if its important. And Harry this is a particular memory I want you to see" he said pouring the liquid into the bowl.

Bending over, Harry put his entire face into it and felt himself falling.

He saw a younger looking Dumbledore talking to a woman and she was saying that it has been years and Tom had not once had a visitor. He was then shocked to see a child sitting at a desk and guessed that this must be a younger Tom Riddle.

Harry watched Tom and Dumbledore speak introducing himself as a headmaster of Hogwarts a school of magic. And listened carefully to Tom saying he could "move things without touching them and speak to snakes" as Dumbledore left.

He was shocked at the darkness about the boy's eyes and asked Dumbledore "if he knew back then that he had just met the Dark Lord of all time?"

He said he "never knew then that he was going to turn bad"

"And there is something he must ask you. Its very difficult for me to explain?" Dumbledore said scratching his head.

"What do you know of Tom Riddle's soul?"

"The other me said that he had split it into seven different objects and scattered them in different places that were hard to find"

"Yes. You see, he has split his soul into different objects. You have already destroyed the diary and there's the ring and you died so that is another one. So there are five other objects we need to find and destroy them"

It suddenly clicked that the other Harry had given him a bag of objects that were important and, Harry orbed the bag to his arms and opened it.

He then brought the objects one by one and placed them on the desk. He could see Dumbledore getting rather excited as he picked up each object and examine them.

"These must be destroyed" he said carefully laying down the locket.
