Chapter Five: Things Get Complicated

Harry Potter POV:

As soon as Hermione and Sophie left, things got interesting. I don't know why or how, they just did.

"Both of them should become great friends, right Harry?" Ron asked as we stepped into our dorm.

"As long as Hermione starts trusting Sophie," I said.

"Yeah," Ron said, getting into bed, "Goodnight,"

"Goodnight, Ron,"

When I got into bed, I remembered a bit of conversation I heard Sophie's Elf friends and the twins having. I heard the blond Elf saying:

"-and then the next day, when I saw her, her eyes were as teal as Fitz's! It was hilarious! And the expression on her face when she gave me the detention-priceless! Her emotions were all over the place!"

Emotions? I thought. Is that related to the Elf powers, or abilities or whatever?

I turned in bed and looked up at the full moon. It reminded me of our old Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Lupin. But then, I had no idea what was coming next.

When I fell asleep, I was suddenly struck with a crazy dream. I was in a hideout-like place, and it seemed like nighttime there. Two women were talking in the middle of the room. One I recognised as the wanted Death Eater: Bellatrix Lestrange. The second one I didn't recognise, but had on a long, black cloak like Bellatrix's on, but with white eye symbols on the sides of the sleeves. She had on a very tight bun, and an eerie smile, but somehow.. It seemed like I'd seen her before...

"-If we capture them both, draw their precious blood, get the recipe and do whatever else is needed, we can then make the potion and finally empower my master again. Remember Gisela, it can help you with your experiment on that boy," Bellatrix said creepily.

"Belatrix, that is an interesting idea, but how exactly will we capture them both and bring them to the hideout? I would use the Lodestar system, but something has sabotaged it." Said the one Bellatrix called Gisela.

My mind was racing and I had no idea what they were talking about. But if the Death Eaters were involved, it was definitely evil. Then Bellatrix said:

"Both the Elf girl and the Wizard are at Hogwarts, but we only have a week to make this happen. I'll get my nephew to steal the map from that traitor, and we can attack tomorrow to capture the two. You get some of your followers and I'll get some of mine," Bellatrix said.

"Fine, it's a deal," said Gisela."I have high expectations, Bellatrix,"

Then the scene vanished and I woke up.

The next day, I almost woke up late, because I couldn't sleep the night before. I pondered what had happened in my dream and prepared to tell Hermione, Ron, and Sophie.

When I entered the Great Hall that morning for breakfast, I heard the usual chatter, but with a midst of talk about the Elves.

"Did you see that Hufflepuff one? She can control water!"

"I wonder what powers they all have!"

"Can we trust them?"

I quickly walked over to the Gryffindor table and I saw Hermione, Ron and Sophie there. But Sophie was sitting between two boys which I recognized to be the two elf boys from yesterday.

"Good morning, Harry," Hermione said

"Hey, guys," I said, settling into my seat, and nodding at the two Elf boys.
