The Absinthe Chronicles Book 1

I own not the Harry Potter universe or Wuthering Heights and Absinthe can not be owned by anyone for she is a living soul I only helped to give birth to. To those who may not know Moira means fate.

Chapter 17-Moira

Harry had made it through the first day of classes. He was baffled at how things were around here. He knew he shouldn\'t wander the grounds but he had that feeling again. Someone needed him and they were here at this school. He began to walk aimlessly around. He went into the building up some stairs through some doors and eventually came to the hospital wing. Madame P. Pomfrey Mediwitch was written on the door. He walked in and looked around, He was close he could feel it.
\"Can I help you?\" Madame Pomfrey was sitting at the desk waiting on any injuries. Harry didn\'t hear her. He kept walking and looking around. He brushed his hair out of his eyes and she saw the scar. She knew why he was there, he just didn\'t. \"Here to visit someone?\" She said a little nicer this time.
\"Is there someone here?\" He looked around again.
\"Follow me.\" Madame Pomfrey led Harry to the private room where she had moved Absinthe last night. She opened the door to her room to let Harry in. \"This is Absinthe.\" The name triggered something in his head. \"She\'s been in a coma for a month now.\"
\"What happened?\" Harry walked over to the bed feeling the connection grow stronger.
\"She was defending Unicorns in the forest.\" Harry sat down in the chair that was next to the bed. He put her hand in his and she squeezed back lightly.
\"She just squeezed my hand!\" A shock or familiarity ran up his arm.
\"Really? That the first movement she\'s made all month. I think you must be good for her.\" \'I hope this works\' Poppy was desperate to see some improvement. She left the room and shut the door.
\"Are you my warm happy spot? What happened? Why do you need me?\" Harry held her hand with both of his and laid his head next to hers. He felt like he was falling then he saw something. He was looking through his own eyes but he was very small. All he could see were people\'s shoes and maybe their knee\'s. He was sitting in the grass behind a house. There was a woman nearby, playing with him and working in a garden. He saw another woman come out of the house she rubbed his head and started talking to the other lady. She was holding a little girl in her arms. She put her down and she ran around Harry. She was slightly bigger with very blonde hair. Harry was reaching his arms up to her. She bent down and hugged him. \'I love you Harry.\' It sounded clear as a bell to mih, although he knew that she didn\'t say it that clear. The little girl kissed his forehead. He could remember thinking, \'I Love you Abby\' but was too small to say it. Then she was taken away. He cried and cried for his Abby. He wanted her back. Then came the same dream with the green light and the laughing. He woke up. Absinthe had her eyes open and was looking at him.
\"Harry?\" They laid staring at each other a contented smile on their faces. Then her eyes fluttered and she was out again.
\"Absinthe, your dreaming again. Asbinthe?\" Harry lightly shook her. There was no reaction again. \"Madame Pomfrey, she was awake! She said my name!\" Madame Pomfrey came running into the room. Her position had changed slightly. Her head and hands were in different places. That\'s when she started mumbling.
\"Harry, you\'d better go back to the dormitory now. I thank you for your help. Let\'s keep this quiet okay?\" Harry shook his head. \'People are always asking me to keep secrets.\'


Dumbledore, Hagrid and Pomfrey all sat in the small room watching the girl. She was becoming more and more restless. Saying Heathcliff over and over.
\"Do ya know any Heathcliff, Professor?\"
\"Only the one from Wuthering Heights?\" everyone looked at him questioningly \"It\'s a muggle book.\" Just then Snape entered the room.
\"I think she\'s going to wake up.\" Madame Pomfrey looked hopeful for the first time in a month. \"She\'s been talking in her sleep, and she responded to my voice earlier.\"
\"Talking? What\'s she been saying?\"
\"Something about Heathcliff.\" Snape turned even paler if that was possible. He walked over to the bed and took her hand, aware that everyone was staring. As he picked up her hand her eyes fluttered open. She stared into his black eyes.
\"Are you my dark angel?\" She whispered. He smiled slightly at this.
\"I am Professor Snape, Severus Snape.\" Had her mother told her about him? Would she know his name? His tone was so gentle even he didn\'t recognize it. She held onto his hand and looked closely at his features and in his eyes. Then recognition crossed her eyes.
\"Heathcliff?\" The words stabbed him in the heart. He snatched his hand away and turned in his dramatic way leaving the room. He could almost feel tears. He let his anger overwhelm the pain and stalked off toward the dungeons wanting to run into someone like the Weasley twins so he could take house points off of Gryffindor.
He saw the greenhouse and he felt the sadness again. When he came back as a teacher her roses were gone. He had hoped that at least they would be here. He remembered showering the girls with rose petals after their union. They laid on the floor snuggling and he had gotten hand fulls of petals and rose water and was sprinkling them over the girls. He had burned that image into his brain. He even had drawings of the scene he had done from memory. After, when they were walking back, he asked her what Heathcliff meant. \"It\'s a character from a muggle book called Wuthering heights. You\'ll have to read it to find out.\" She kissed him and ran off with Lilly. He had read it. He ran out the next day and found it, and read it in one sitting.


\"Poppy, why do I get the feeling your not telling me something?\" Albus had pulled her off to the side, Hagrid was trying to talk to Absinthe.
\"Harry wandered up here today.\"
\"Potter?\"
\"Yes, he found it on his own. Came wandering in looking for something or someone, I think he was looking for her and didn\'t know it. I took him to her and she immediately began to show progress. He even said that she woke up and said his name. But he might have been dreaming.\"
\"Well let\'s keep this secret. They are not going to let her officially enroll. She will be a ward of the school. Maybe we\'ll figure out what\'s going on, with her and Harry, and her and Snape.\"
