Chapter 6

Everything is getting worse after the incident of Triwizard Tournament. The return of Lord Voldemort, the tragic death of Cedric Diggory and now the Dementors wandered around the muggle world and attacked him. It almost caused him expelled from Hogwarts just because of he performed a Patronus Charm to defense himself and his muggle cousin from the Dementors. After the hearing, Harry and his friends are on their way to the King Cross Station accompanied by some of the members of the Order. During their way to the platform, Harry was lost in his own mind. Harry startled when he felt something is licking his left hand. When he looked down, he saw a black dog walking with him side by side. Immediately Harry knew the black dog is his godfather, Sirius Black.

"Padfoot?! Are you barking mad? What are you doing here?" Professor Moody whispered as he noticed the presence of the dog. Harry was thinking about the same thing. What is Sirius doing here? What if someone sees him! He doesn't want to his godfather chucked back to the Azkaban.

Sirius rushed into an empty waiting room and transformed back into human form. Harry quickly follow him to the waiting room and closed the door behind him. Professor Moody is standing outside the waiting room to make sure nobody will near or enter the waiting room.

"Sirius, what are you doing here? You have o be more careful. What if someone sees you?"

"I know, but I had to see you off. What's a life without a little risk?" Harry couldn't help but smile at his godfather.

"Anyway, I have something to give you," Sirius said as Harry sat beside him. Sirius took out an old photo from his pocket and gave it to Harry. There are a lot of people in the photo and Harry saw his parents and his godfather inside the photo.

"This is the original Oeder of Phonix. I'm supposed you are the young ones now." Sirius said as he put his arm on Harry's shoulder.

"Thank you, Sirius." Harry wrapped his arms around Sirius.

"Stay safe, Harry." Sirius returned the hug.

After saying goodbye to Sirius, Harry walked alone along the platform. As he passes the crowd, Harry suddenly spotted someone in a black suit with bald hair and snake eyes. He saw Lord Voldemort.

Chris orbed alone into the King Cross Station after he said goodbye to his family. He promised his parents that he will take good care of himself and he will call Wyatt when he is in danger. Wyatt wanted to see Chris off but Chris insisted on going alone. Here he stood at the train station where he was no idea where he was going. Chris look through his backpack and took out the train ticket. Chris frowned as he looked at the ticket. The ticket says he should head to platform nine and three quarter, but was there really such a platform?

Out of the blue, he saw a black dog wandering around the train station. What is a dog doing in a train station? Is it normal for a dog wandering around the train station in England? It seems like the dog's owner isn't around, maybe the dog is lost, just like him.

" Hey, buddy! Where're you come from? Are you lost?" Chris asked as he kneeled down in front of the dog. The dog walked up to Chris and sniffing Chris.

"I'm lost too. Come on, let's go get someone's help and ask for direction." Chris said as he slowly put his hand down and pat the dog's head. With that, Chris is pulled into a vision.

Chris's body tensed and his eyes closed as he was hit with a rush of images. Friends, students, a castle or more accurately is Hogwarts, a man and a women, a baby boy. Maybe is the baby's parents. A man transformed into a black dog. A snake with yellow eyes is staring at him with a hiss. A loud screaming broke through the darkness. There were figures cloaked in black which reminded Chris of Reaper. Their presence made Chris felt the whole world is ripped apart and he felt like he will never, ever be happy again. Chris tried to force himself out of the vision but he was pulled into another vision instead.

The room was dark, stone steps going upwards in a circle, a huge crumbling stone archway stood unsupported in the middle of the amphitheater. It looks like a veil is hung from the archway. The room is deathly silence and it scared Chris. All of the sudden, Chris saw the man who can transform into the dog appeared in the room and hit by a flash of green light. Surprise and fear wrote all over his face and he is falling backward through the veil.

"You are not a dog, you are a man!" Chris said when he opened his eyes, staring at the dog. The dog immediately ran away from Chris and never look back.

"Hey, wait! I have something to tell you." Chris shouted as he ran after the dog. The dog or the man is in danger, he needs to warn him.

"No! You monster, stay away from my son! Don't you dare hurt my son!"

Suddenly Chris heard someone screaming when he was trying to look for the black dog. Chris quickly turned his head and looked around but he couldn't pinpoint where the screaming came from. Since he can't find the source, so he decided to ignore it and continue looking for the dog. When Chris was just about to walk away, he heard the same person screaming again. This time, Chris heard another woman screaming too. Their voice sound so desperate and worry but still Chris couldn't find them and it made Chris frustrated. Chris tried to lean his back on the wall behind him. Without warning, Chris felt like he was being dissolved into the wall and he almost stumbled as he tried to lean on the wall between platform nine and platform ten. Chris reached out his hand to touch the wall and this time the wall became solidified again. Strange.

Chris' attention is once again caught by the screaming and Chris decided to let his inner instinct lead his way. As Chris walks along the platform, Chris saw a man and a woman shouting at a boy and it seems like nobody can hear or see them. Apparently, the man and the woman are dead. Chris walked slowly to them.

"Sir, Ma'am, can I help you?" Chris asked but they didn't seem to notice Chris' presence.

"Sir, Ma'am, is there anything I can help you?" This time Chris increases his volume and they finally noticed Chris. When they turned and stared at Chris. Chris found that their faces look very familiar, he saw them before. Then Chris recalled the vision from the dog. Chris' eyes widened as he realized they are the man and the woman in the vision just now. The only difference is they look older now.

"Are you talking to us, kid?" The man asked and Chris nodded.

"You can see us?" The woman asked in shocked.

"Of course, I can see you. I'm talking to you now."

"But how? Who are you?"

"My name is Chris, Christopher Halliwell, I'm a.." Chris was about to answer the woman's question but was interrupted by the man.

"Later honey, now our son needs help." The man said.

"Your son?" Chris assumed the boy they were shouting to just now is their son.

"I don't care who you are or what you are, please just help my son. Please, I begged you." The man with specs pleaded.

"I'll try, sir."

Chris slowly walked up to their son and Chris sensed the distress and fear from the boy. Chris found that the boy is staring at nothing, so he decided to invade the boy's mind. The second he enters the boy's mind, he felt another evil presence that doesn't belong to the boy. And then Chris saw the most evil face in the world. He is bald and he has a pair of yellow snake-like eyes and the most evil grin on his face. Chris focuses on his power and forced the evil presence out from the boy's mind. After that, Chris used his empathy power to calm the boy. Chris walked back to the boy's parents as he sensed the boy is no longer fear.

"Everything is fine, your son is safe," Chris told the boy's parents.

"Thank you for helping our son, Chris." The parents relaxed as they watch their son left with his friends.

"Anytime. Mr. and Mrs…."

"Potter. My name is James Potter. This is my wife, Lilly Potter."
