He moved slowly and came to the center of the room where he was fully immersed in the light of the moon through the window. His cloak, which flowed off his shoulders to the ground, was as black as sin making his head appear like it was floating in the shadows. His very presence made the air thick and Harmony felt dizzy trying to gasp in enough oxygen. Her eyes never left his. Brown to piercing blue. She felt herself push back her covers and slip out of the bed.
His black robes whispered as he glided over to her, the same moment Harmony stood out of bed. He loomed over her as she stared up into his familiar face. He was near enough that she could feel the heat of his body coming from beneath his robes. The very sight of him brought a warm stirring in the pit of her stomach.
Her Serpentine charm tingled on her skin over her chest, not because it sensed danger but sensed it was once again reunited with its master.
Voldemort drew his face closer to her own and she thought his might kiss her. In her frozen state she hadn't noticed he'd placed a surprisingly warm hand on her arm. Harmony saw small movement over his cloaked shoulder, and she dragged her eyes away unwillingly, just in time to see Ginny rolling over in her sleep. She desperately hoped Ginny wouldn't wake.
When she brought her eyes back to him, he surprised her when he spoke.
"Harmony."
The sound of his voice conjured a plethora of memories—both good and bad—and she listened with a sense of both exhilaration and dread.
"My family is gathering now," he continued. "With time I shall rise again."
When she found her voice, it sounded breathy and lost. "You family…" Then she understood. "Your followers." She shook her head slightly and his eyes followed her every movement, intense and unblinking. "No," she said, "they're all dead, I—" She was cut off short when he leaned forward and brought his lips to her neck where a part of her Serpentine charm slithered out from beneath her shirt.
She was suddenly lost for words. His closeness was breathtaking, and like a dam breaking, memories of their night at Shell cottage together flooded her mind making it difficult to concentrate. Her eyes flickered again back to Ginny, hoping she wouldn't wake for a new reason: so she wouldn't see how intimate she was with the Dark Lord. She had meant to keep their close bond a secret and she intended to keep it that way.
"How are you here?" she asked. "You're at Menkar. You don't remember anything."
At this he laughed and it sent shills up her back making the hairs on the nape of her neck stand. He moved his mouth to her ear and his cheek brushed the side of her face softly.
He purred, "We have been searching for you." His breath was hot and it made her skin tingle. "Stop hiding, Harmony, it is time to come home."
A subtle whining sound slowly filled her ears and she looked around curiously. Then the whining burst her eardrums with a new intensity as though she suddenly resurfaced from underwater.
Harmony opened her eyes, blinded by the room lights and surrounded by commotion. Beside her, she saw Ginny was quickly pulling on a pair of jeans with her wand clutched in one hand. Harmony sat up on her elbow letting her eyes adjust to the bright lights.
She looked around the room, checking every corner not really knowing what to expect: Lord Voldemort hiding behind Ginny's wardrobe? She gave a curt humorless laugh at the thought. She just wanted—hoped for—some proof that what just happened was real. But he wasn't anywhere in sight. He was just a dream, Harmony thought, not sure how to feel.
If he really had been there that would've meant he escaped the Ministry and was out of harm's way. But she would have had to figure out how to escape the fate of the Serpentine charm. She would have to convince him to forget about her…The very thought pulled at a heartstring. A little voice inside her head asked that if given the chance go back in time, would she still erase his memory? She could hardly think of an answer.
Harmony brought a hand up to her cheek. Perhaps she was just imagining it, but it still felt hot from his breath when he spoke in her ear. We have been searching for you, he had said. She shivered and then looked up at Ginny. The loud whining was still ringing through her ears and it was beginning to give her a piercing headache.
"What's that horrible noise?" she asked as Ginny finished getting dressed.
"Get your wand!" Ginny exclaimed. "That alarm goes off when a wizard tries to Apparate pass the barrier. Someone's trying to get inside!"
Suddenly the bedroom door burst open revealing a frantic Ronald Weasley.
"Hurry up, Ginny, Mum wants us all downstairs!" He looked over at Harmony and immediately noticed she was still wearing only her sleeping undergarments. His mouth fell open. Like a shot, Harmony concealed herself with her bedcovers and Ginny rocket a pillow at Ron's head with her wand.
"Oi!" she shouted. "We'll be right down!"
Ron left in time for Harmony to see his ears turning crimson beneath his mane of red hair.
Everyone was gathered downstairs when Harmony and Ginny arrived. Immediately Ginny went to Harry's side and slipped her hand in his. Harmony glanced over at Ron who had been looking at her, though he quickly turned his gaze away. A new blush crept into his freckled cheeks. The group of witches and wizards exchanged nervous, but ready glances before the adults filed out of the cottage with the kids taking up the back.
With the wind carrying the roar of the ocean waves to their ears, everyone spotted the intruder instantly on the grassy hill with the sky slowly turning pink behind him. The man's dark clothes brought contrast to the light brown grass quivering at his knees.
Harmony recognized the man right away. It was the very same man who attacked her at the inn the other day, Zeth. Although his face was still shadowed from the dawn, she could feel his eyes piercing through the Guard straight to her.
Harmony stared back, glaring at him disdainfully.
She had expected the Guard to question him strictly, to show him how unwelcome he was, and to state his business while keeping him under intense scrutiny. But Harmony was nowhere near expecting what actually came next.
"Zeth!" Bill Weasley called out. He sounded dreadfully relieved. "Bloody hell, man, you gave our lot quite a scare!" From behind, Harmony could hear the friendly smile in his voice. "Come inside and warm up! I know it's a long walk from town."
Zeth didn't take a step closer; in fact he didn't move a muscle. His eyes never left Harmony. "No, thanks, Bill," he said, his voice unusually calm. "I'm here on business, actually. I do believe, Bill, you have something that belongs to me."
