Audrey's Secret

Voices

*UNEDITED CHAPTER*

Harry explained what had happened when professor McGonagall took him and I jumped around like a five year old on Christmas. Harry! On the Quidditch team for Gryffindor! We're SO going to win!

Skipping in front of Hermione, Harry, and Ron, I reached the doors and when I was about to go in-

"You musn't tell anyone, Audrey." Harry said placing a hand on my shoulder. I faced him. "Of course not! I cross my heart." I crossed my heart with my pointer finger. He let out a sigh, giving me a small smile before I opened the door.

"Enjoying the last time with your pathetic friends, Potter? The trains' leaving soon."

"You're a whole lot braver now with your followers behind you like puppie dogs." Harry snapped at Draco.

"I can take you on my own anytime. How about tonight, midnight, the trophy room. I propose a duel!" Draco said raising his voice a bit. "But don't bring your loony friend here, she might raise the dead!" Crabbe and Goyle snickered behind him as I...I just wanted to learn a spell to make Draco speechless. Literally. "Maybe my dead will kill you. This sounds like a wonderful idea. I'm Harry's second."

Draco flexed his fingers, obvious anger boiling inside. "Crabbe's mine. See you then Harry."

He looked at me a last time. "Loon!" Then walked off to the Slytherin table.

"Harry can't I just-"

"No, Audrey. Thats illegal." Harry said smiling and trying not to laugh. I half smiled. I did want to though. I just wish this would stop. I did hear something. A voice. Maybe my brother is trying to communicate with me!

"Harry," I said coming with him to Snape's class. "Do we have some time off. Like a free hour or something?"

"Oh..." He sounded hurt as if that's not what he expected to hear but quickly replied. "Ahem - yes. I'm going back to Hagrid's. Want to come? Or if you have other plans-"

"Ok, great! See you later, Harry! Oh and I can't really come, I have something planned." I skipped off to Snape's classroom.

Finally finsihed my drawing! It's a drawing of the forbidden forest. I had to get it out, it's all I've been thinking of. I couldn't tell Hermione of my plans, she would just say Hermione things. Harry would want to go with me and I can't do this with him, now. And Ron, He isn't into the lets-go-and-explore-the-forbidden-forest-for-Audrey's-brother-thing. I know because, well, I just know. The bell rang and I wasted no time running out of the classroom, dropped off my books at my bunk and made my way to the feild where I had first heard the voice. I couldn't help but feel like I had forgotten something.

The warm wind wipped my hair in my face every now and then. I heard a ruffle and jerked out my wand in time to avoid a blue light flashing at me. "Non verbal attack...smart. Now come out, now!"

I glanced around at where the light ahd come from. No one was there. That was sort of Tom's thing. Disappearing.

"Tom!" I shouted at the forest. "I'm right-"

A pain spiked me right in my leg from behind. I fell right slam onto the ground causing the pain to shoot up my leg and into my arms and chest. "Ouch!!!"

I half shouted and glanced where the shot had came from. Dumbledore stood above me and was gazing at a darkish shadow lurking over to where I was. "Get out of here, pest."

His booming voice made me jump and I groaned the pain getting sharper. "Give her to me..." 

The figure hissed. Dumbledore mumbled a few words and the shadow screeched and shot upward and disapeared in the clouds. He was walking away when I blacked out into an endless nightmare.
