Neville's POV
I held Y/n close.
"Y/n please rest some more, you got hurt really bad." My voice cracked.
"Nev I promise I'm fine" She said cupping my cheek.
"Why didn't you use your wand when the dragon was facing away from you? It would have given you more time to get the egg." I asked, anyone would have taken that chance. She sighed.
"It's not a big deal, I just didn't want to hurt the dragon" She told me. I believed her but I could tell she wasn't giving me the whole truth.
"Please tell me, I know there was more to it" I held her hand.
"I just...when Dumbledore blocked my powers I felt strange like I did before I got them. I was weak Neville, I guess I just thought if I didn't have my powers that would mean I had no magic abilities at all. I thought it made me a muggle, so I didn't think any of the spells would actually work." She really believed that. I cupped her cheek so she would look at me.
"Powers or no powers you will never be a muggle. You will never be weak" I said and kissed her softly. She closed her eyes kissing me back.
Harry walked in.
"Hey Y/n can you- oh my god sorry" He said. I pull away from her blushing. I'm not good with PDA.
"Sorry um, Y/n how can you hear the mermaids singing is it a new power?" He asked. She shrugged.
"Probably. Hey do you want to test it out?" She asked. We agreed and followed her down to the black lake.
She crouched by the water putting her hand in.
"Do you feel anything?" Harry asked.
"No. Maybe I haven't got a new power" She said.
"Maybe you have to be completely submerged in the water" I suggested. She smiled and started taking off her robe and tie. I swallowed nervously and look at Harry who was grinning trying not to laugh.
Your POV
I really hoped this worked. I walked into the water until my chest was covered but still felt nothing. I sink completely under the water, waiting for something to happen. Soon enough I needed air but I was too determined to have a reaction, I stayed under the water until my body was physically jolting demanding for air. I shot up gasping. I walked in, my head hung low.
"Nothing" I said disappointed in myself.
The spell is delaying her development, this will benefit us if she takes some convincing to join us.
I growled sick of not being able to figure out the voice. I felt so much anger with myself.
"Hey it's okay it will come soon" Harry said touching my hand. I gasp freezing as images flashed before my eyes. Black figures, green flashes then the man I've been hearing appears grabbing my arm. Instantly I came back to reality pulling my arm away.
"Voldemort. Voldemort is the one in my dreams and who I've been hearing." I said. Both Harry and Neville looked worried. I rubbed my face.
"What is happening why am I connected to this?" I asked knowing my question was hard to answer.
"Maybe we should talk to Dumbledore" Harry suggested. I nod and get dried and dressed before going to Dumbledore's office. Harry explains everything about the voice I'm hearing and that my most recent visions showed it was Voldemort that I was hearing.
"What were the visions of? Explain with great detail" Dumbledore asked. I rubbed my forearm.
"Voldemort he... I can't explain it he's not in the body of an adult he's a fetus looking thing but with all the properties of his original form. There was lots of green" I tried to think harder but the details were slipping. I rubbed my forearm harder. Neville took my hand.
"Y/n what are you doing?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" I fidget. Neville slid my sleeve up to reveal a mark.
Dumbledore looked at it.
"You didn't say he touched you" He raised his voice causing me to flinch which didn't go unnoticed by Harry and Neville.
I sat down as Dumbledore instructed, he was going to use a spell to force me to remember. He pointed his wand at my forehead and casts the spell. My eyes close and I was suddenly seeing it all again. Voldemort killed multiple people but he was intent on exterminating all members of the order. I watched him kill Harry's parents. Tears roll down my cheeks.
"Stop please stop" I whisper out in real life. I watched a woman with black frizzy hair use the cruciatus curse on two people.
"STOP!" I yelled out before Voldemort stood in front of me and grabbed my arm.
"Get out of my head" I screamed at Voldemort. I woke up panicking and Neville pulled me into a tight hug. When I was calm enough Dumbledore extracted the memory from my brain to watch it.
"There is a lot more to your story that hasn't been discovered but it is definite that both you and Harry are connected to the story of Voldemort. He can see through your eyes, you need to block him out. Y/n you're different to Harry Voldemort had some kind of influence on you which has caused a link that goes both ways. He can see into your mind as you can see into his, block his path and you have the advantage." He spoke.
"How do I do that?" I asked.
"It is unclear how but you have been doing it for years, something has changed to allow his path to strengthen. Find out what it is Y/n" He said. I nervously leave with Harry and Neville by my side.
"You'll figure out how to block his path Y/n I know you can" Neville said and gently held my hand.
"I hope I can" I mumbled softly.
