Hopeless : Sirius Black's daughter Book 2

Searching for answers

Fred and George started planning a celebration party. Ron looked angry. "You gave him the Ageing Potion? Why didn't you give me?" he asked. Wasn't he worried about Harry?

"First I'm really flattered that you think that I could make a Potion strong enough to bypass Dumbledore's  spell. Second I didn't give him the Potion. Third, even if I had, I wouldn't have given it to you because let's face it, you wouldn't have been chosen." I said before storming off upstairs. Hermione was pacing in the room. At least one person was sensible.

"He didn't do it." I stated.

"I know. We have to talk to him. I'll tell Ron-" she started.

"Don't bother. He's too busy feeling sorry for himself. And we can't talk to Harry tonight. The twins have planned a huge party." I said.

I had another dream when I fell asleep that night. I could tell it was a different place than where they had been before. Wormtail was feeding the Dark lord with something that looked suspiciously like blood.

"My lord, at least part of the plan worked." said Wormtail.

"Yes. Harry Potter is as good as mine. But my servant failed to enter the girl's name." said the cold voice of lord Voldemort.

"My lord, he said that she interrupted him." said Wormtail

"Yes, but that only proves what we suspected. Rhine's magic worked. The girl inherited her powers. Therefore I need her! " said Voldy sounding angry.

"But you need Harry Potter more my lord." placated Wormtail.

"True, true."

" Yes. The girl can wait." squeaked Pettigrew.

"Are you protecting your former friend's daughter Wormtail?" asked the Dark lord menacingly.

"No. The girl is...she's nothing to me! I tried to kill her before." he squeaked.

"Good. But I still need her. There is only one way to awaken her, the magic of the earth."

"Be careful my daughter. Be careful." said the feminine voice. 

"Rhine?" I asked but she was gone.

I woke up the following morning and went down to breakfast. Harry wasn't there.

"Have you seen Harry? I asked Ginny.

"No. I haven't." she said. "He's probably still celebrating."

"What?" I asked.

"Don't play dumb Miley. We both know Harry wouldn't be smart enough to figure out a way across Dumbledore's ageline. But you could, to make him like you more."

"Gin, Harry didn't put his name in, okay? I Saw it." I said

"You didn't tell me you had a vision." she frowned.

"I was with Blaise when it happened." I said.

"You didn't tell me that either." she said.

"I was going to." I said.

"Just save it Miley. Go find Harry or Zabini or anyone you like to spend your time with these days. Since its obviously not me!" she said.

I stared at her for a second. "Fine. I will do that. So much for best friends, huh." I stood up and followed Hermione outside.

We met Harry at the Portrait hole and he looked terrible as Hermione gave him a piece of toast. "Are you okay?" I asked him. "No. Of course not. Come on let's take him outside." I answered myself.

Harry told us about what had happened to him last night and how everyone thought he had entered his name in the goblet except Moody and Dumbledore.

"Well of course I knew you hadn't entered yourself. The look on your face when Dumbledore said your name! But the question is Harry, who did it? Because Moody's right Harry-" said Hermione but Harry interrupted.

"Have you seen Ron?" he asked.

"Yes he was at breakfast." said Hermione nervously.

"Does he still think I entered myself?"

Hermione looked at me for support but I shrugged.

"No. Not really." she said

"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked.

"Isn't it obvious? He's jealous." I stated.

"Jealous? Jealous of what, does he want to make a prat of himself in front of the whole school does he?"

"Well Harry it is always you who gets all the attention and Ron's got all those brothers to compete against and he's always shunted to one side whenever people see you. I guess this is one time too many." said Hermione.

"Great. Tell him from me he's welcome to swap any time he wants. Tell him from me-" started Harry but they were now testing my patience.

"I have better things to discuss than Ronald okay? Listen Harry I had a vision yesterday and I saw your name being called." I said and Hermione snorted. 

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" she asked sceptically.

"Because I couldn't find you and Dumbledore but I told Moody. Go ask him if you don't believe me. I also think whoever put in Harry's name was also supposed to put in mine." I said.

"How do you figure that out?" asked Harry.

"My dreams." I said simply and Hermione rolled her eyes.

"I dreamt someone putting in my name and when I went downstairs, someone ran away leaving a parchment with my name. Last night I dreamt Voldemort and Wormtail saying that they failed to put my name in but managed Harry, who was more important anyway." I told them. They seemed in shock.

"So Voldemort has a servant here?" asked Harry

"I think so." I said.

"You have to write to Sirius." said Hermione

"No. He might come barging in here if he hears this." argued Harry.

"He'll find out from the papers anyway. Do it Harry. He'll know what to do." I said.

In the end he wrote the letter.
