Chapter 8:

He leaned as close as possible to the girl and said. “I’m Harry by the way.”

“I’m Brianna. Nice to meet you.” She responded with a smile noticing how close he was.

“Your American?” He asked amazed.

“Yes. I just arrived two days ago.” She responded. With that Harry was wondering if she was new the wizarding world and what did she know about him? He could tell that she was interested. It would be really nice to have someone like him, for being Harry, not for Harry Potter, the boy who lived.


Lupin was watching the exchange seeing that Harry was obviously interested in Brianna and that Brianna just might be interested in him. Lupin didn’t know what to think. Harry was still a student and he knew that she was an adult. She looked young. How old was she anyway?

Brianna took a closer look at the boy. She really didn’t have a chance earlier. But now she noticed that he was tall, at least taller than she was by a few inches since she was looking up to meet his eyes. He had black hair and green eyes, similar to her own but not in shape. He looked strong and when she was held against his chest she could tell that he was solid and firm, built like someone who played sports.

By that time Professor Dumbledore walked up, looking concerned. “Are you ok, Harry?”

“Yes.” Harry replied.

“Then I would like to see you and Brianna in my office as soon as possible.” He replied.

“Yes sir.” Harry responded. With that Professor Dumbledore walked off.

As they walked to Professor Dumbledore’s office they started to talk and get to know one another.

“So, you said you arrived two days ago. It’s obvious you’re not a first year, but you seem a bit out of your element.” Harry said with his arm around her waist as they were walking.

“It’s a bit of a mystery really. I was angry Friday night and blew the windows out of my house by accident. The next think I know people from the Ministry of Magic come to my home and sent me straight to Hogwarts. All I’m really told is that they have been watching me and here I am after showing just a bit of magic.” Brianna stated still a little peeved that she hasn’t been told more.

“So you never even know about the wizarding world up until last Friday?” Harry asked.

“Yeah, that is pretty much it. Everything so far has been pretty much hush, hush.” Brianna responded.

Harry was ecstatic. She didn’t know about him at all. Harry started to smile, but then stopped as he thought about her situation. “It sounds a bit like my life really.” Harry said, almost to himself.

“What was that anyway? That was no ordinary headache.” She asked.

“No.” Harry responded looking at her nervously.

“And what is that on your head? It’s a scar, I can see that, but in the Great Hall it was red and very raw. Right now it looks fine.” Brianna asked with a bit of confusion in her eyes.

She really didn’t know. He almost bounced as he walked. But was a bit concerned about how she was going to respond once she learned the truth about him.

She stopped walking, causing him to pause. She was very close to him as she touched his arm with one hand and brought her other hand up to his scar and touched it lightly. She felt a shiver go up her spine. Harry felt it, too. She was overwhelmed and landed in Harry’s arms.

“You really don’t know do you?” Harry asked, as he took the opportunity to hold on to her a little tighter and leaned his head down to hers.

“No, I don’t know much of anything. But that is no ordinary scar. I can feel something when I touch it.” said said as she looked into his eyes not withdrawing out of his arms. After staring into each other eyes for a moment longer they separated and walked the rest of the way to Professor Dumbledore’s office.

They were already in Professor Dumbledore’s office, sitting down in the two chairs that were very close together, in front of Professor Dumbledore’s desk, when he asked once again if they wanted a lemon drop.

Brianna started to giggle. “No thank you” They both said in unison.

Professor Dumbledore had that twinkle in his eye again.

“Miss O’Shea, what happened in the Great Hall this evening?” He asked

“I’m not exactly sure. Harry fell backwards off of his bench, grabbed his forehead and started to scream. Without thinking about what I was doing, I ran to him and tried to help. When I touched his scar, I had a vision.” With that Professor Dumbledore as well as Harry sat up in their chairs.

Brianna noticing this a gota bit nervous but kept on with her story. “In the vision, I saw a man withering on the ground screaming.” She said.

“Did you recognize this man?” Professor Dumbledore asked.

“No, of course not. All I can tell that he was a wizard since he had on robes, but that is all I saw.” Brianna looked at Harry and then back at Professor Dumbledore.

“Harry, is that what you saw?” Professor Dumbledore asked.

“Yes, that was about it, and then I came to with Brianna on top of me.” He said with a smile. Brianna blushed. She was sure it would look a bit interesting from his point of view.

Harry was looking at Brianna with a bit of wonder and confusion in his eyes. He wasn’t quite sure what happened and he wanted to know how she saw his vision.

“Harry, I can see the question in your mind. Miss O’Shea has the gift of premonitions and apparently visions as well. But that wasn’t what brought her to us.” Professor Dumbledore then looked at Brianna. “You can be a very powerful witch, Brianna, and we are here to help guide you. I felt you’re magic there in the Great Hall and so did many of our students. Did you even notice that you knocked several students right off their feet with the amount of power that you released?” He asked

At this point Brianna was in shock, yes she felt the magic, but she had no idea to what extent.

“Brianna, we haven’t told you anything about your past, but I think now is the time to explain a few things.” He paused. “Brianna, you were led to believe that you were muggle born. You were not and there is a reason that you don’t know about your father’s side of the family. Your father’s side of the family is magical. But your father was not. He was a squib.” He paused again to see how Brianna would respond. She knew what a squab was, that was explained to her by Tonks.

Professor Dumbledore continued. “Your grandfather was angry that he had a son that didn’t have any magic so he became violent and for that reason your grandmother felt that it was important to send your father away to live with muggle friends, people that your father thought of as family. Your grandmother placed a memory charm on him so that he wouldn’t remember why his father beat him and therefore completely forgot that there ever was a magical world.” He paused again looking at Brianna.

“I’m sure there is more, go ahead.” Brianna responded. She didn’t know what to think, but she did remember that her grandfather, whom she never met, had indeed beaten her father on many occasions.

“Yes, there is more.” He took a breath “Your grandfather was a spy for our side and was caught. Voldemort wanted him killed so your grandfather went into hiding. Voldemort’s Death Eaters eventually caught up to your grandfather and killed him along with your father’s family. Voldemort never knew of your father and therefore he never knew of you. ” At this Brianna was confused.

“Ok, I understood up to the point where you started to talk about Voldemort. What is this about Voldemort and his Death Eaters?” Brianna responded sitting up in her chair. Harry smiled at the fact that she said ‘Voldemort’ so easily. He couldn’t count the times that others had flinched when he said it himself.

“I can tell you the basics now, but Harry here can fill you in on the finer details.” He responded. Up until this point, she had forgotten about Harry.

She looked at Harry confused and so Harry reached over and took her hand. He squeezed it gently. Professor Dumbledore continued. “Voldemort is an evil wizard trying to take over the wizarding world. He was defeated once by Harry when Harry was only a baby. For that reason, Harry has the scar on his forehead. Voldemort has come back to life a few times and each time, Harry has defeated him one way or another. Voldemort does not forget his enemies and as soon as he discovers that the job was not completed, he may still come after you.” Brianna unconsciously squeezed Harry’s hand and looked at Harry with worry in her eyes. Harry put his other hand on her arm.

“For that reason, we have had people watching you from the Ministry, waiting to see if you showed signs of Magic. We knew that once you did, you would then become a target. That is why we removed you from your home so quickly and sent you here. Hogwarts is protected by many wards and you will be safe here. And while you are here, you will be learning how to defend and attack magically.”

“So now it’s starting to come together. I’m in danger and I guess Harry is, too.” She looked over to Harry with concern not only for herself but for Harry. Even though he didn’t look it, he was still a kid and from the sound of things, he has already gone thorough a lot.

“We are all in danger. Anyone against Voldemort is in danger in one way or another. And I can already see the question in your mind. Your brother is a wizard. He works for the Ministry and is often away on missions.”

“That would explain why I never see him and that he is always moving.” Brianna replied quietly to herself.

“We didn’t know you had any magic until you became 18 and started having the premonition dreams. And I’m not sure if you noticed this or not, but you also have some abilities in healing, both for yourself and others. As you unwittingly demonstrated today with Harry.” Professor Dumbledore turned to Harry.

“How do you feel Harry? If I am correct, you don’t have the splitting headache that you usually get after such a vision.” Professor Dumbledore asked.

“No, no headache. In fact the pain usually involved was cut short.” He looked at Brianna as he said so. She gave him another squeeze.

“If you knew I had magic at 18, why didn’t you come to me then?” Brianna asked looking back at Professor Dumbledore.

“We wanted to wait to see if you had active magic, magic that might alert Voldermort of your presence.” And with that the meeting was over.
