Trapped in the Past

Chapter 13

*Harry Potter

I woke up from my terrible dream, bathed in sweat, when I saw Delilah in an ancient attire and was mistreated by so many people. She was called Katarina and she was a younger sister to Arthur Pendragon. We all know that Arthur only had an older sister, Morgana. But.. she did not exist in my dream . Deeply I felt as if Delilah was my sister, just in a different time. Everything in the dream felt so real. Deep in my heart I was missing her. I looked at the time and it was eight in the morning which means I was 19 years old. It was time to get dressed. I had to go to work. I was an auror. Hermione and Ron were too.

I got into my work attire and there I stared at myself in the mirror. No more scar. I lunched myself onto my bed. All I see in the mirror was Delilah. I need her. I wanted to thank her. For all she have done to change my time to be a better one. But sadly, she could not feel it. I looked down, looking away from the mirror when the door flung opened and there the girl who was so foreign to me came in. Everybody knew her as Elizabeth Potter, daughter to the famous Seeker James Potter and civil servant to the Ministry of Magic, Lily Potter. Elizabeth was my younger sister.

"ELI! I told you! Knock before you come in!" I yelled at her. Her face expression changed. I might be too harsh on her. She was only 12. "Sorry...." I apologised and walked out from my room to get breakfast. Every time I saw mum and dad, I felt grateful but on the bad side, I could not share this moment with Delilah.

I was at my desk, doing my usual job when Hermione and Ron came running to me,"Harry, me and Ron just dream of this girl names-"Hermione yelled but I cut her off.

"Delilah? yes...I know.. She's my sister...that's what i think so..."I said looking down. Hermione and Ron took a seat in my office and sat in front of me. "She is living in an another world, another time..." Hermione and Ron nodded her head.

"not think so... know so... What do we do now?" Ron asked, looking at me then to Hermione. Both of them were worried, maybe they were also worried that we would never see Delilah again.

"I don't know..."I replied. It was painful to hear, even for myself. " Hermione, is there anything we can do to see her or to let her know that we are reaching for her?" I asked again.

"I am not too sure but I will find a way.."Hermione said. Ron and I agreed. Hermione stood up and walked to stand beside me. She put her hand on my shoulder and said, "I will find a way.. for us to see her again. I promise..." I touched her hand and then looked up to her.

"thank you Hermione..." I replied. There was hope. I felt hopeful.

Lives goes on.. so meanwhile, we got back to work until Hermione could find a way.
