Snogging Pox

Dizzy Spell

Last Time:

"Harry's in trouble!" Ron screamed on the verge of tears as his sister held up the bloody vial making Arthur's eyes widen in horror ...

XXXXXXXXXX

"What? Calm down and tell me what happened." Arthur pleaded, but instead of his son answering Ginny shoved the bloody vial into his hand.

"We need the pensieve, Dad!" Ginny exclaimed urgently.

Arthur looked at the vial with the shimmery memory floating inside before quickly running to a hidden cabinet, "Get around the table everyone!" He ordered quickly as he pulled out a bowl covered in runes. It looked a great deal like the pensieve that Harry's glasses turn into. In fact, there was very good reason for that. Harry studied the runes on that very pensieve to create his own and they worked the same as shown by the memory being poured into the bowl. "Everyone ready?" Arthur asked as he set the vial down on the table. Ron, Ginny and Neville nodded and the four of them plunged their faces into the memory floating whimsically in the pensieve.

Molly Weasley came into the room looking concerned, "Arthur, honey, did you hear Ron and Ginn-" She froze as she spotted the four people with their heads in the family pensieve. She would normally be furious about her kids skipping school, but this situation struck her as being very serious, so she waited until they were done with the memory. Once they were done and pulled their heads out of the bowl she knew how serious it was just by the looks on their faces. "What's wrong? What happened?" She pleaded getting a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach, but then her fear tripled when she realized Harry wasn't with them. "What happend? Where's Harry?"

"Harry... he was attacked by Dumbledore," Arthur said furiously as he headed for the floo. "I need to get Bill to stop the plan Dumbledore has to force a marriage contract on Harry" he exclaimed just before flooing away.

"What?" Molly gasped in horror and confusion.

Ginny scowled "He was going to make Harry sign a marriage contract, but when Harry refused ... Dumbledore threatened to use us! McGonagall was on the way to take us captive so Harry will have no choice but to sign!" Ginny exclaimed through tears.

"Dear Merlin!" Molly exclaimed in horror, "Did the memory show what happened to him? Why isn't he with you?"

"He- ..." Ron trailed off as he tried to keep himself from crying. "The memory didn't show what happened to him. Just that McGonagall was coming after us and he only had time to send his snitch with that as a warning." Ron said as he gestured towards the bloody vial and Molly paled at the sight.

"Oh Merlin!" Neville gasped getting everyone's attention. "Harry's stuck in Hogwarts!"

"Stuck? What do you mean?" Molly pleaded.

"He gave us his floo powder ... h-he can't get out." Neville said his knees gave out in his fear and he collapsed into a chair.

"So it's possible Dumbledore has him?" Ginny murmured terrified that could be the case.

Ron didn't want to believe it and shook his head, "He could get to the dungeons and hide in Salazar Slytherin's office. No one can go in there and he's very strong. It wouldn't be easy to catch him or keep him anywhere." He said desperately trying to not think the worst, but as more tears fell he found himself breaking down again. After all, the dungeons were so far away from the headmaster's office that it would be very hard to get there with an old wizard after you. Also, Harry couldn't waste time changing into his gray robes. Chances are something went very wrong.

"No ... that could work." Molly exclaimed as she took the bloody vial. "If your father returns before me tell him I went to see Severus." She said before flooing away as well.
