Fear of the Dark

Harry gave a large gulp as he looked around the dark dormitories, they looked so different in the night when everyone was asleep, and it was almost as if they took on a whole new personality to them. Gone in the day was the kind and welcoming dormitory and now in the night was the harsh and foreboding dormitory.

Harry tilted his head to the side as he listened out for the large clock to chime. He only had to wait a few minutes as the clock struck. Counting the strikes Harry found it was time, it was midnight on the correct night, and it was time to make his move.

Quickly and quietly Harry moved over to the edge of his bed, sheet's falling away to reveal that he was fully dressed, bending down nervously Harry took his shoes from where he had placed them earlier and put them on.

"Don't look under the bed, don't look under the bed," Harry chanted to himself as he placed his shoes on, "Don't look under the bed."

Quickly doing up his shoes Harry sat back up and took a deep breath, closing his eyes Harry gathered his courage again before opening them, this time determination shown in his eyes.

"I can do this and I will do this," Harry said, being careful to speak softly as to not wake his dorm mates, "I'm going to meet him if it's the last thing I do."

With that Harry stood up, grabbing his wand from its place on the bedside table and walked through the dormitory full of sleeping boys and to the stairs.

"First step Harry," Harry found himself saying, talking to himself like this seemed to be comforting, it made things less scary in some weird sort of way, "You can do this."

Taking his first step down the stairs Harry started to feel more and more confident, after all the first step is always the hardest. He slowly made his way down the twisting staircase, trying to ignore the feeling that was building up in the pit of his stomach; it seemed that being further away from his bed made Harry feel worse.

"Almost there Harry," Harry muttered softly as he looked at the other end of the staircase that was in sight, a soft orange glow of light from the fireplace that had been left burning to keep the common room warm gave off a soft and welcoming light, "You're almost out of the darkness."

Feeling strength in almost completing the first step of his mission Harry quickly jumped down several steps, ignoring the pain in his feet and ankles at the force of hitting the floor as he landed. Opening the door to the common room and stepping inside Harry allowed himself a deep sigh, he had made it through the first part.

If Harry could get down that staircase and into the common room then there was nothing stopping him from completing his mission.

"I won't be controlled by him," Harry swore as he picked up his cloak he had left down in the common room to stay warm for when he went out into the cold autumn night, "I won't let his threats come to anything."

With that Harry walked forward and picked up off of the mantelpiece a small empty jewellery box that was made of pure silver. The silver jewellery box was a work of art in itself if you looked closely at the patterns that decorated it but all Harry cared about was two things. It was small enough to hide in his cloak pocket without being noticed and was light to carry yet when you used it to hit someone with it was very heavy.

Placing it in his pocket Harry allowed himself to stand next to the fire, basking in the bright warm light it gave off.

"There is no such thing as fear of the dark," Harry muttered to himself with a frown, "I've walked all over the school in the past six years, there's nothing to be scared off, and you're ready this time."

With that Harry moved away from the comforting light and towards the doorway that would lead out of Gryffindor Tower. Harry took several deep breaths as his heart beat widely in his chest.

Making sure that he wouldn't jump at every little noise Harry carefully placed his hand on the door handle and waited, waiting for any noise from the portrait on the other side to show if she was awake or asleep. After a few minutes of total silence besides the roaring of the fire Harry slowly pushed down on the handle and opened the door to give a sigh of relief, this night the Fat Lady wasn't in her painting.

Though this was a small victory Harry now found himself faced with the hallway in front of him. Anxiety and panic built up inside of Harry as he bit his lip nervously at the dark hallway, why did it have to be so dark for, why couldn't they meet up in the day for? Harry knew the answer to his questions but he couldn't help but to ask them.

"Better get this started then," Harry thought as he looked down the hallway.

Harry withdrew his wand and held it close to him, remembering his run in with Professor Snape in his third year Harry cast a Lumos charm but this time he controlled the brightness, making it so he could see where he was going but it wasn't overly bright.

With one last check that he had the small silver jewellery box in his cloak pocket Harry moved forward, walking down the hallway towards the moving staircases.

As Harry moved through the school he couldn't help but allow his mind to wonder to just how he had gotten himself into this situation to the level that he was sneaking out at midnight to meet him. Harry balanced as he continued to walk, he was walking to the forbidden forest to meet a Death Eater of all people.

'Guess McGonagall was right,' thought to himself as he turned a corner, 'Pure luck gets me out of a lot of situations.'

Harry couldn't help but to thank Lady Luck, at least sometimes it seemed as if she was on his side. Through he couldn't help a small laugh as he thought of his friends reactions to what he was about to do. Hermione would be proud that he was going to do this with a well thought-out plan though she'd have a yell at him afterwards, ignore him for a few weeks then everything would go back to normal. Ron would just cheer him on and ask if he could join in the next time he went Death Eater hunting before following Hermione, not wanting to lose his girl.

Harry finally made it to the moving stairs, looking at them Harry gave a sigh of relief as he found that they weren't moving.

'Must be some sort of health and safety spell' Harry thought as he ran down the strangely still staircases, 'Weird, with everything that's gone on in this place this would be the last thing to cross my mind.'

Harry didn't look a gift horse in the mouth though as he moved down the stairs, two at a time. In no time at all Harry had made it down the stairs and was now standing in the entrance hall looking at the large oak doors which was shut.

Remembering the trick Sirius had told him once about how they had gotten out of the castle at night to join Remus during the full moon Harry walked over to the left hand side of the right hand side door and gave three sharp knocks, one after the other. Harry then paused for a few minutes before giving another three sharp knocks.

Harry watched as a small door appeared within the doors, this one open, allowing Harry to exit from the castle and out onto the school grounds.

As Harry took his first step through the small door he paused and looked back at the dark and empty entrance hall, he could go back, he could pretend that all of this never happened, he wouldn't have to worry about being in the dark outside if he went back. No, he couldn't, Harry had to do this, he just had to, if not for himself then for everyone else.

'It's my duty' Harry thought as he quickly walked out into the school grounds, 'I've got nothing to be afraid of, this will go fine, I'm meant to do this.'

As Harry walked out into the night he felt the cold midnight air wash against his face causing him to gasp at the coldness it held. Trying to ignore the coldness Harry looked around, he knew that he was due to meet up on the border line of the Forbidden Forest but first he had to know just what part. Walking along the whole border of the forest would be too much.

A sudden flash of fur in the moonlight caught Harry's attention. He was here, and it was time that Harry put him in his place. He wouldn't let that man control Remus, himself or anyone again.

Fear of the dark be damned, he was going to do this.
