Myrtle7a

It was seven o’clock in the morning and dark clouds were looming around the dormitory window. Antoinette was breathing heavily in the bed next to Myrtle. Myrtle sprung out of bed and threw on yesterday’s robes. She bolted out of the dormitory and left Gryffindor Tower for Professor Black’s office.

Ignoring Peeves, Jeeves and Filch Jnr’s cat Ms Noire, Myrtle tore along the corridors until she came to the statue outside his office.

“Phoenix!!” She cried. “Phoenix! Open why don’t you?” But the statue did not budge.

“Werewolf.” Called a familiar voice from behind her.

“Daddy?” Myrtle exclaimed, turning around as the statue began to move aside.

“The one and only. Come on let’s go inside. I believe Sirius is expecting us.” Harry said holding out his hand to Myrtle.

Myrtle took his hand and the two walked into the office. Harry knocked on the door.

“Come on in Harry.” Professor Black called as Harry turned the handle of the door. “Myrtle?” Professor Black looked shocked. “What are you doing here?”

“Sit down Sirius. I believe that Myrtle needs to tell us something.”

“I do,” Myrtle interrupted. “The babies, they’re in danger and it’s all Elli’s fault!”

“Don’t be absurd Myrtle.” Cried Harry. “Nothing is Elli’s fault.”

“Why do I hear her in my head then? Why is she the one plotting to kill you, the babies and me with the evil snake-like man? It’s all her fault! If she wasn’t so weird she wouldn’t be doing this!” Myrtle broke down into tears.

Harry sat down next to Myrtle and put a comforting arm around her. Professor Black got up and started to pace around the room.

“Harry, I think Myrtle may have a point. She is the one having the dreams, not you. Do not be so blind. It is highly probable that this “snake-like” man is controlling Elli. You said it yourself, there’s been something wrong with her for a long time now, maybe this is it.”

“Sirius, be reasonable. How can I admit that my own daughter is plotting to kill me?” Retorted Harry.

“Just admit that things in this world are not right again and it is up to those of us who believe to stop it from taking over. You yourself know the very depths of despair we were in before you defeated Voldemort; I for one do not want a repeat of that situation. If you take what Myrtle says seriously now and go back home to protect Hermione, the twins and Elli you will also be protecting the rest of the wizard and Muggle community. Are you ready to do that Harry?” Sirius finished.

“I’m ready.” Harry replied gravely.
