Harry Potter and the Order Of the Phoenix [16]
“Harry... Harry Potter.... The boy who caused my downfall, and who caused my rise. You will help me become greater than ever before...” hissed Voldemort.
“Never!” yelled Harry, quite louder than he expected. He grabbed Voldemort’s hand, and tossed it off his head. It fell back to Voldemort’s side. Voldemort’s smile now turned to an expression of disgust, but then into another one of his grotesque smiles.
“Harry, I don’t think you understand. You see, you will help me. Now, you can either use this opportunity to your benefit, and join me now, and I will make you more powerful than you could possibly imagine. Or, we could do this the hard way, and I could just wait a while, then kill you. Either way, you will help me in the end.”
“Never!” yelled Harry again, not knowing what else to say. Voldemort took away his smile, and glared at Harry.
“Very well then, you have sealed your fate! You will die! And your little friends will pay, especially your Animagus god-father: Sirius!” spat Voldemort. His expression of hatred now turned to a small smile. “Wormtail and I have become better friends, Harry. We both share the same enemies and allies. If Wormtail desires Sirius dead, then that is what will happen. If I desire you to be dead, then that is what will happen. Lord Voldemort always rewards his faithful, as long as they help him...”
“No way! Even if you kill me, there’s no way you can get to Sirius or my friends!”
“Oh, yes there is Harry, yes there is! Now, time to go!” Voldemort took out his wand and pointed it at Harry.
“Expellius!” he yelled.
Suddenly, the world around Harry faded to a black, then it quickly transformed into Mrs. Figg’s house. She, Sirius, and Remus were each looking at him from above while he laid on the ground.
CHAPTER 5 - THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX
“What happened?” asked Harry groggily as he rubbed his eyes. Suddenly he remembered Voldemort and Wormtail and he sprang to his feet. “Where are they!? Where are they!?” he cried.
“Harry it’s okay!” said Mrs. Figg. “The snakes are gone now.” She walked over to him and waved her arm in the direction of a chair. It immediately popped up behind Harry, and he sat down in it.
Obviously they didn’t know who Harry was referring to. He had completely forgotten about the snakes, and the ambush that had occurred. He was trying to ask where Voldemort and Wormtail were, but Sirius interrupted.
“A baby Hallython bit you, Harry, and caused you to hallucinate,” said Sirius. “I forgot that baby Hallythons are stored inside the mother, so when I used the magnet spell, I accidentally pulled them out.” Sirius looked very depressed, he must have felt as though the ambush was all his fault. Just then, Harry feel and iciness on his arm where the Hallython bit him. He looked over and saw Professor Lupin rubbing his wand over Harry’s snake bite wound. The cut slashed blue for a second, and then it just disappeared.
“He’s all fixed up Sirius,” said Professor Lupin. “You don’t need to worry,”
“We were all concerned when you started moving all over the place,” said Mrs. Figg quietly. “The Hallython must’ve caused you to hallucinate, but Sirius thought something had possessed you. Never seen him so worried in his life.”
“What did you see Harry?” asked Sirius.
Harry, who didn’t want Sirius to worry about getting caught because of a dream he had about Voldemort, said, “I don’t remember.” Harry still wanted to know why he was called here, and he didn’t want that cut short because of a silly hallucination.
Suddenly, another blue flash appeared next to Harry, and he looked over. Professor Lupin was rubbing his wand on the place where the snake impaled him, and it apparently took more magic to heal than Harry’s wound because of the brighter flash. There was a scar there for only a second, but that disappeared almost instantly.
“Professor Lupin-,” began Harry before he was cut off.
“Remus Harry, just Remus,” he said. “I’m not your teacher anymore, and I think we are familiar enough to be on a first
