Haylie Elizabeth Potter

Chapter 13

*Fred's POV

Mum was called to St. Mungo's after dinner. I watched her go then went up to my room and left George a note telling him I would be back later. I crept downstairs to the fireplace and used some floo powder. I opened my eyes and I was at the hospital. I went the back way to Haylie's room and found Mum and Dumbledore conversing. I tried to jump behind the door but Dumbledore saw me.

"Fred." He said in his raspy old voice that was always so calm "Come on out. There is no need to hide." I walked around the corner through the door frame and looked at Mum she scolded me a minute then gave me a hug making me confused as to weather she was mad or not. I looked up at Professor Dumbledore and his blue eyes smiled down at me. "Fred what we are about to talk about Haylie cant know about till we have achieved what we need to is that understood?" I nodded and looked over at a sleeping Haylie and went over and sat on her bed listening to Dumbledore intently while I stroked her hair. After all that has happened since we have started school at Hogwarts I feel so much older than eleven.

"Haylie is in danger. She always has been but her flashbacks are getting worse. She is seeing things in her dreams no little girl should have to see. There is one way that I know of that can get rid of these flash backs permanently. But we need someone close to her to make it happen. Fred this is where you come in. You can have George help you too but keep it to a minimum as to who is involved." He now had my full attention. "Its risky but it could work. There is a way to cure her but only one person has done it in the past without going mad. Haylie will need to think about what happened that night and she will have to remove it from her mind. She will then be able to think about her parents but she will just feel like she's missing something. She wont remember the details of how they died. "

I was completely confused. "Um- Professor?" I asked

"Yes?"

"How will it work there has to be something she has to do or something she will need help doing or we will have to have her do. right?" I asked

"correct." He said "You, Fred, will need cast a spell on her every time she has a flash back or is thinking about her parents death." He said.

"Is it like a memory charm?" I asked still a little confused

"Of sorts yes but its not a normal one. you must speak Legilimens Fidelus. The spell will allow you to see what Haylie sees and be able to lock it away from her till you choose to reveal it. Which will probably be never I assume."  Professor Dumbledore explained.

"Wouldn't  obliviate work just as well?" Mum asked

"It could but the possibility is that they could come back. This way is a harder way but from my research it is more likely that it will benefit her in the long run and that's what we want isn't it?"

Mum nodded. "Come on Fred its way past your bed time and im sure George is wondering where the heck you are."

I nodded starting to feel sleepy. I fallowed my Mum back to the fireplace then back home.

*Haylie's POV*

I awoke to a bright room making me squint and wince a bit as I was still sensitive to light. I looked around and found Dumbledore sitting in a chair by my bed. He noticed I was awake and walked over to me "You just missed your Mum and Brother." he said. I nodded a little sad Fred wasn't around.

"When can I go home?" I asked sounding frail and scared though I didn't mean to.

"Soon, child, soon." He said "But for now rest up your head is almost better and you have a lot of things you will need to do in the future. Stay close to the twins they will take good care of you.

I nodded and he waved his hand if front of my eyes and they began to get heavy and I soon gave in to the dreamless sleep.
