Chapter Eighteen Harmony opened her eyes and screamed. She was in darkness, but as soon as she screamed candles magically lighted themselves, and Madam Pomfrey the nurse came rushing towards her out of the darkness. “Lie still, my pet,” said Madam Pomfrey, pushing her softly but firmly back down onto her pillows. “Rest. Dumbledore and your Head of House are going to be here in a minute.” Presently, the hospital wing door flew open and Dumbledore, Sira, Snape, Melody and Fennec all rushed in. “Harmony!” Fennec ran to her bedside and hugged her, Melody not far behind him. “Off!” said Madam Pomfrey disapprovingly, “She needs rest.” “Dumbledore!” Harmony gasped. “I know… but how?” she broke down and started crying. Fenn looked ready to mvrder someone, and Melody looked terrified. “Into my office. Now!” Dumbledore said, ignoring Madam Pomfrey’s protests. Harmony, supported by her two friends, was quickly taken to Dumbledore’s office, where she collapsed, sobbing, in a chair by his desk. Sira left, she had to go do something else, but Melody and Fenn stayed by her. “Riddle, Smith, you two need to stay outside.” Said Dumbledore. “You can come in when I call you.” “But-” Fenn started to protest, but Melody dragged him out the door. Harmony kept sobbing. “Harmony,” said Dumbledore gently, “Severus has told me what he’s seen in your mind. Now I want you to tell me, in your own words, what you saw.” Harmony hiccoughed, then opened her mouth. “I saw… a huge house. At least, I was in it. Then this woman came towards me,” she sobbed, “and picked me up and carried me to the fire. And… this little boy came and called me “Sister”. And a man was there, too. He was mean, and didn’t want me.” She sobbed. “then I was carried into another room and I fell asleep. Then… there was fire, I think. And I was being carried away. I was laid down outside and then picked up again and carried away…” she wailed even louder. Dumbledore started pacing. “Do you know who your family was, Harmony?” he asked. Harmony was too distressed to answer, so Snape answered for her. “I am quite sure,” he said, “that Harmony is in fact, a Malfoy.”
