Awaken that which was never Asleep
Crystal
The tournament champions for each school were just chosen yesterday, and
guess what? Harry was one of them! Of course, so was Cedric Diggory but Harry
Potter has to share the championship position...well, it�s not really they have
a championship position, but each has a shot of making it to the championship.
�Crystal!� a voice called out
behind me. I turned around to see Hermione.
�What is it Granger?� I asked as she hurried up to catch up to me.
�Well, I just wondered if you planned on doing the potions homework tonight.
I thought we could study together...I mean, Harry is busy right now trying to
figure out what�s going on...� she said as she attempted to catch her breath.
�I did it during class,� I said, �Remember? You even pointed out I shouldn�t
be scribbling during class.�
�You did it during transfiguration?� she asked raising an eyebrow.
�I always do. I always finish it quickly too, so?� I asked and Hermione
sighed.
�Well, we should still study together, or do you have things to do now?� she
asked.
�I actually have to do something right now, but I�d be glad to study later!�
I said, forcing a grin.
�Okay then,� she said and headed off.
�I have things to do,� I murmured and hurried off.
�
I was in a good seat to watch the tournament�s first competition! Remus
actually sat next to me, he just said he was concerned for Harry, but I knew he
feared my unconscious would try something. I couldn�t understand at all what he
wanted to make sure didn�t happen but it was enough to drag him here. Well, I
guess dragged here wouldn�t be the appropriate sentiment to the situation. He
brought himself here to make sure Harry was okay...after which I coughed �BS�
in his face, which made him smile.
�This is it!� I said, and the first competitor came out. I didn�t pay much
attention to how they did, just because I really didn�t care. I knew I�d
probably only watch to see what Harry did because he was so young to be in the
tournament. How he was entered when he didn�t get past the age line was beyond
me, but Remus said it was possible; it would just take a lot of magic to do so.
�Calm down,� Remus said with a sigh and I laughed.
�I love dragons!� I exclaimed and Remus let out a laugh and sat down from
his observation point. �No seriously Professor, I really love dragons! They�re so cool and they fly and breathe fire
and I think they breathe ice unless I�m wrong��
�Of course you do, why you wouldn�t love dragons is beyond me,� he said
sarcastically and I looked at him puzzled.
�What do you mean by that?� I asked.
�It�s in your nature to like dragons because you are one,� he said,
�Remember? I told you that over the summer!
And yes, Dragons can breathe ice, it isn�t just
something from a movie.� I smiled and nodded and then stood up to look at what
was going on. Second contestant was up! How�d the first one do? Oh well, I bet
Hermione would be willing to tell me later.
�Wait Remus, what movie?�
�
�Wai!� I shouted out of the blue. Remus looked at me with a confused glance
and I looked back equally confused. My
outbursts even surprised me sometimes.
�I believe it means hurrah...but I�m not sure,� Remus said, �I�m not as
fluent with Dragon Tongue as Sirius or Severus are.�
�That was dragon?� I asked in surprise, �What the crap?�
�Something about this tournament doesn�t seem right. Your unconscious seems
to be increasing in sensitivity...� Remus said and then looked back toward the
arena. The 3rd Contestant was on, and then Harry would be following next,
right?
�
�Increasing...maybe something is going to happen...would that be a good
thing though?� I asked, diverting Remus�s attention once again. For a moment he
looked saddened. �What�s wrong Remus?�
�You�re more peppy and energetic now, much more than you were before...at
this moment, you really have nothing to be sad about...but I know that as soon
as you get your memory back, things will be different, much different,� Remus
said, �I�m sorry to say it but I don�t miss not having that part of you
around...and it�ll be worse because Lily and James aren�t here anymore...� I
nodded. �I mean, all I�m saying now probably doesn�t make much sense but it
will I think in time.�
�I won�t, I promise!� I said, �I�m still my own person, and my memory
shouldn�t change my personality that much, should it?�
�It will,� he said with certainty, �I know that much is true.�
�
�Harry�s up!� I said, pointing, �And he�s facing that Hungarian Horntail!�
Remus stood and observed Harry as he came out onto the field. I watched
intently too, focusing on the dragon. All of the dragons were nesting mothers,
which made them twice, maybe even three times as dangerous. Harry raised his
wand and summoned his firebolt! It was an amazingly fast broom; I had seen them
in the Quidditch World cup this summer.
�Would you look at that?� Remus asked in awe as Harry began to fly around
the dragon. I think he was taking less time than the others had taken, but I
wasn�t sure. I wondered what he was planning, but as he rose higher up into the
sky, I realized what he was going to do! He was trying to get the dragon to
leave its nest and fly!
�Hey, look!� I said, �I know what he�s going to do!� Remus looked at me with
amusement on his face. I think he knew
what Harry was going to do too.
�It�s obvious,� he said, �I�ve never seen it done before, but if anyone can
do it, it�s him!� Harry swooped down low as soon as the dragon took off. I
watched him snatch the egg, and he carried it off and made it to safety! I clapped and cheered wildly, this was kinda
exciting, at least, it seemed that way so far.
�He had the fastest time, I just know it!� I said, even though I didn�t
know. I was just hopeful, that was all.
�Yeah, he is!� Remus said smiling, �I mean he was!�
�
The dragon however wasn�t calming down! It started to rampage and I watched
as the team of wizards who brought it tried to stun it and prevent it from
hurting anyone! The stands began to clear out as people ran away from the
breaths of fire shooting towards them.
�Crystal, we have to go!� Remus
said, tugging at my sleeve, �The tamers will take care of the dragon!� I
remained still, focused on the dragon in front of me, on the ground. The stun
attacks weren�t working; they were only making it madder! I watched a joint
attack hit the Horntail and it almost got it but then it went right back,
thinking its eggs were going to be harmed! At least, that was a most possible
reason!
�I have to do something!� I said and looked around at the empty stands
surrounding us. Everyone seems to have gone away, I had to act.
FLASH

�Why do you always have to get involved?�

�If I don�t no one will!�
FLASH
�What are you going to do?� Remus asked, but before he got his answer I
leapt off of the stand and easily landed on the ground. I made my way towards
the dragon at a jog. The dragon noticed me and I barely managed to dodge the
flames. It was by that time everyone on the field noticed me.
�Get out of here!� one of them yelled at me but I wasn�t listening.
�...� I paused for a moment, why was I out here? I didn�t remember jumping
down... All of a sudden, a voice not my own began to speak.
�Calm!� the voice yelled, but it wasn�t in English or any language I had
ever heard before, what was going on?
�What the hell?� someone asked and the dragon blew flames at me again.
�Crystal!� Remus yelled, �Snap
out of it!� His voice sounded so clear
and yet it seemed like it was so faint, like it was so far away.
�Calm down dragon!� the voice said, and my legs seemed to move on their own
towards the dragon. It roared and shot flames at me but I dodged it like
before. I was scared; I wasn�t even controlling my own body anymore! What was
this language I was speaking?
I heard Remus fall silent, maybe he was coming down to try to get me or
something. I didn�t know what was going
on, was I being controlled by some spell?
�Dragon, who goes by the motherly ways...calm down before you hurt your
young,� the voice continued and I let out a scream as claws sunk into my shoulder
and I fell to the ground, �DRAGON! Hear my voice and be silent!� There was
power behind that voice, I was sure I had heard it! Was that really my voice? I
gripped my shoulder and winced in pain.
�Crystal!� I heard Remus call
again, but his voice seemed so distant.
The clarity of it, it was there, but it seemed no more than a
whisper. Was I dying or something?
�The dragon�s calming down!� a voice cried, but I couldn�t hear what came
after that. I felt myself return to normal, like water washed over me and
cleansed me of whatever had been controlling me before.
�It hurts...� I said before I fell to the ground. I felt arms pick me up and
cradle me close to a warm body, and then I felt no more.
�
�Crystal, you�re okay now,
everything�s fine,� a voice said softly and I opened my eyes slowly, not
surprised to find myself on a hospital bed. I noticed Remus and Harry and the
gang, including Fred and George were there as well. Fred held some chocolate
and Hermione was arranging some daisies in a vase nearby.
�What happened?� I asked wearily, trying to sit up and realizing the pain
when I raised my left shoulder. It hurt
really bad�and I didn�t remember how I had gotten such a bad injury.
�You got attacked by that dragon,� Ron said grimly, �I wasn�t there to see
it but Professor Lupin says the dragon went on a rampage and you were caught in
the crossfire.�
�But that�s not...� I said and Remus looked at me with a face that said �I
made up some sort of half-lie to protect your from explaining to them why you
went after a dragon, which you yourself don�t know why you did so shut up and
accept it�. Okay, maybe the shut up part wasn�t in there, he wouldn�t be that
rude...I think.
FLASH

�How come you�re always so polite Remus?� I asked teasingly as we sat in
the shrieking shack. No one would be
coming tonight, the other Marauders were being kept busy so I was here with
Remus during the time of the full moon�of course, and the other Marauders
didn�t know that I knew what Remus was.

�I don�t know, it�s a habit or something,� he said. �I might have picked
it up at some point in time before I actually was bitten, when my parents had
no reason to fear me.�

�I don�t fear you,� I said with a smile.

�You shouldn�t have to. As the
protector of forest you affect my change and stuff. It�s nice when you�re around, but it�s nice
when the others are with me too,� he said with a smile. �But that�s just me.�
FLASH
�Well, we brought you some chocolate,� Fred said. I smiled and accepted the
package. I knew they would want to hear the true story about what had happened
later.
�We saw you get caught by the dragon�s claw...� George said and I sighed.
Figured they�d be there to see it.
�Curiosity killed the cat, you know that right?� I asked and looked at them.
�Luckily...� Fred said.
�We�re not cats!� George finished and I found myself giggling. Remus rolled
his eyes and stood.
�Where�re you going?� I asked.
�Well, I think it best I get out of here. Don�t worry, I�ll be here to watch
Harry in the next part,� Remus said. I knew better though, he�d be coming to
make sure I didn�t do anything again, or something like that.
�Or to do damage control,� I said with a grin, �I mean, who knows when I�ll
get caught in some more crossfire!�
�That too,� he said and made his way to the door, �I�ll talk to you all
later, so goodbye.� He left, shutting
the door gently behind him. I sighed and
then shook my head sadly.
�
�Yeah,� I replied, �Harry, you did great out there! I wanted to tell you!�
He smiled at me.
�Thanks,� he replied and made his way to the door, �I have some things to
do, are you coming everyone?� Harry was
still clutching his egg and probably was going to go and see what was in it or
what clue was in it.
�Not us!� Fred and George said in unison but Hermione and Ron went to join
Harry; they said their goodbyes and left.
�So you two wanna hear what happened?� I asked and noted their excitement,
probably meaning they already had some kind of idea of what had happened.
�I think we already know about it, you talked dragon tongue!� Fred said.
�And there was a lot of power behind those words...� George continued, �I
could tell, your eyes flashed red for a moment.�
�What happened?� I asked as I turned to look for a mirror. My eyes turned
red? I�ve always been told they were green!
How could that happen?
�They were red for only a moment,� George said comfortingly. �It was cool.�
�But you meant business when you said whatever you were saying,� Fred
continued. �Though I didn�t understand a word of it.�
�Although I don�t think you knew what you were doing...� George said.
�It must�ve been an unconscious power lying dormant while you try to get
your memory back,� Fred said. �Or something like that.�
�And it was a cool power too, wasn�t it Fred?� George asked with a gleam in
his eye.
�Being able to speak dragon is rarer than a Parselmouth. I hardly knew there
was such a language,� Fred continued.
�Until today,� George said.
�I suppose there are multiple languages for everything but most don�t care
to learn them or aren�t born with the ability to speak them,� Fred said.
�Or they�re lost languages no one knows anymore save a few special people,�
George said.
�Like the clans we read about last year?� Fred asked. �Professor Binns had
us do that essay, remember?
�Um...guys?� I asked but they were ignoring me. I sighed, it wasn�t like I could do much to
get them to pay attention aside from yelling, which I didn�t want to do just
yet. These two were almost too much
sometimes. Troublemakers, yes, but good
listeners, only sometimes.
�We read it last year to try to figure out what was going on with you,�
George said, �Hermione had said something about you having the temper of a
dragon so we decided...�
�To see what we could find,� Fred continued.
�And you fit the description,� George finished. �That and it was
homework.� I let my jaw drop; I couldn�t
believe these two, they were impossible to talk to!
�Are you two even paying attention to me?� I asked, �Do you two even know
what you are saying?� If they knew, it
only made a lot of sense to them. I half
expected them to start talking in some twin language and then I really would be
lost in whatever they were talking about.
I think I understood it but it made more sense to them than it did to
me.
�Of course we do!� Fred said, �At least when we began we did...�
�I think we made sense throughout our speech...� George said and then they
both smiled.
�Well, at least you�re feeling better,� Fred said, �You�ve been out of it
for about 2 days. We brought you your homework, you won�t be going back to
classes today or tomorrow I think.�
�
�Oh, okay... I don�t want to let my grades slip!� I said with a laugh, �Even
though I still can�t get up!�
�You will probably be able to later, I think you�re strong...� George said,
�Anyways, you should probably get some more rest.�
�I�m not tired!� I complained and tried to get up again, but Fred pushed me
down.
�No way would we let you hurt yourself again!� Fred said.
�As your friend I insist you get some more rest!� George said jokingly.
�
The two left and I relaxed on the bed. Did Severus see what had happened? If
he did, wouldn�t he be here, wanting to know why? Or did Dumbledore say
something? What if he realized...what would happen? Would he accept the fact I
don�t remember save for what people are telling me? I turned my head to the
side and felt tears form on my face. I missed him; I wanted to be with him. I
didn�t remember why, but with him I felt safe, loved... I wanted him to embrace me, to hold me until
I woke up from this nightmare� to become who I was�or to become my own person,
free from these flashbacks. I couldn�t
explain why I was so drawn to him�his eyes, his pained face�the way he carried
himself. I think it was love?
It was only a feeling I was going on, simply a feeling...
�
If he knew and wanted me to tell him something, would I lie to him just to
make him happy? Would I lie to him just to feel safe in his arms, dependent on
just a feeling? Would I lie to him just so I could be with him, just to satisfy
my curiosity? Is it something I was
willing to risk? What if this wasn�t
true and I wasn�t her? What if these
flashbacks were some part of a spell or a curse?
�
What would he do when he found out? I mean, if I was really this
person...would he accept me, seek vengeance, call me a liar? I didn�t even know
who I was, how would he react, how would I react if we had a confrontation? I
brought my hands to my face, why was I crying? Why was I shedding tears? Did I
even truly have a reason to shed them? Why is it me...why was I the only one
without memory, without a sense of belonging... without a sense of self?
�
I wished it to end; I didn�t want to feel like this anymore! I couldn�t take it. I didn�t know who I was�I was scared. I want to be myself again�I want to be who I
once was�if that was really me to begin with.
If not�I want these memories to go away, I want to live my own
life. This wasn�t in all my control at
all! Why me?
�
What was I going to do? I couldn�t control myself at times, it was harder
and harder. I felt like I was loosing a sense of myself in order to gain my old
self back.
�
What am I going to do? Who can I talk to? I needed to talk to someone. I
considered Remus, just for a moment...but decided that he had done and was
doing all he could.
�
Dumbledore wouldn�t work...neither would Fred and George, they�re too young.
Well, Dumbledore�s not, but the twins are. Who could I talk to...I needed
someone...
�
Someone who�d know what to do...or at least make me feel better, give me a
better sense of who I was. Who hadn�t I really talked to that would know...I
had given Dumbledore my word I wouldn�t talk to Severus, so he was out of the
question...
�
Wait...SIRIUS! I could talk to Sirius! He would be able to help me, wouldn�t
he? He knows a lot about my past; a lot about who I was...I mean...he said he
loved me, right? I had to talk to him...but he wasn�t anywhere near here...I
guess writing him would be the next best thing...I had to talk to Sirius... I
knew I could get some answers from him...I just knew it... Sirius...
