Chapter 4: The Confessions Plan

"Elizabeth wake up!" rang Hermione's voice.

I opened my eyes and saw light streaming through the dusty window. It took me a moment to remember where I was. I wasn't with the Dursleys at 4 Privet Drive. No, I was at headquarters for the Order Of Pheonix and Hermione Granger was shaking me awake... not harshly, but gently. I leaned up, stretched and got out of the bed that I had fallen asleep on the night before.

"Hello, Hermione," I looked to my left and near that bed was Ginny Weasley "Hey, Ginny"

I walked over to the end of my bed and saw that my trunk was now sitting there. I dug around until I felt my jeans and then my t-shirt that had once been Dudleys, then Harry's,and was now mine. Yes, it now looked much different then it once did. Instead of the once dark blue it was turquoise and I made it have a v-neck instead of a u-neck. I got changed in our closet and brushed through my hair before putting it into a Dutch braid.

"Hermione, do you know if Harry and Ron are awake?" I asked.

"I just tried to wake them up. I think they are, but they may still be in bed. Go in, it's fine Eliza," she said calmly.

"Thanks, I'll be back soon,"

I walked across the ancient hall and knocked on the boys room before entering. Sure enough, Ron was just sitting up in his bed and Harry was putting socks on his feet sitting in the edge of his.

"Morning Ron, Hermione says wake up and get down stairs," I said laughing at his annoyed face.

"Harry-" I started.

"Eliza, if your going to ask me what they told us last night the answer is no-" he said. He was wearing his signature light blue shirt with a navy blue trim.

"Harry-" I pleaded.

"No-" said Harry as he pulled on his left shoe.

"Fine," I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"Unless-" he started as he looked over at me. Ron was now getting out of bed and now looking at me.

"What?" I said with a sigh. Based on the curious looks I was reviving from Ron this was not good.

"Tell me what you dreamed about," said Harry clearly glad that he had something over my head.

"Harry, I've already told you-" I began but was cut off... yet again.

"No Elizabeth, you told me a lie. Tell me the dream and I'll tell you what we found out," said Harry angrily. He looked to Ron and then me. My hand was shaking slightly as I debated what to do. I couldn't tell him the dream so I just came up with another lame excuse.

"I've told you Harry it was nothing. Just a dream... A bit of a bad one. You have them all the time," I said laughing slightly at the end trying to not look so nervous.

Harry now got off the bed as did Ron. He walked towards me and said:

"No, Eliza this is different. I am sure because you were thrashing around like I do when I dream about the graveyard. You were having a weird flashback looking thing. You were shouting about Tom and at the end you were shaking as if you were under one of the unforgivable curses. Who's Tom Eliza?" He said as he moved closer to me. Ron now had put a new shirt over his tanktop and a pair of jeans over his boxer shorts that he'd worn to bed.

I opened my mouth to say how I didn't know but I knew he wouldn't believe me anyway so I just closed it and responded with a small sigh.

"Are you going to tell me what they told me last night or not you guys?" I asked. Ron turned his back on me and Harry shook his head.

"Ok," I said as I went to walk back to the door on them but in the doorway was someone else blocking my way out.... Hermione Granger.

"Sit back down," she said as she closed the door behind me and walked over to Ron's bed and sat while gestured for me to do the same. Ron and Harry sat opposite of me with Hermione on Harry's bed.

I sat with my elbows on my knees, my head on my hand staring at the ground. We sat and sat and sat for at least a quarter hour. Finally, Mrs Weasley called us to eat breakfast and as I ran towards the door Harry grabbed my arm.

"This isn't over Eliza," I looked over towards Ron for some support from him or Hermione. Instead of helping me Ron simply replied:

"Meet us back here after bed you two," to Hermione and me. I shook off Harry's grasp and walked to the door, walked out of it, and slammed the door behind me before going down the stairs to the kitchen. We were battling the doxies today.

Battling doxies was harder than we thought. You had to first spray them with some disgusting black juice thing. Then, while their temporarily petrified you put them into bucket. We worked for hours and then ate dinner. After a long and tiring day, it was time for bed. I for one was exhausted. As we walked up the stairs with Mrs. Weasley behind us Harry nudged Ron and then Ron grabbed my arm and nodded his head curtly.

I walked up a few more steps and caught up with Ginny. She was in my year and we were good friends though I never really talked to people my age. I did get along quite well with a girl in Ravenclaw. She was sort of an outcast but very nice and mysterious. Her name was Luna Lovegood.

But now I talked with Ginny. In the hall Mrs Weasley said goodnight to all of us. I walked over to Harry madly, hugged him and said goodnight. As I hugged him Harry told me something I had hoped he'd forgotten.

"See you in a bit Liza... And Hermione knows and is coming so don't even try to get out of it this time," he said in a barely audible whisper. I glared at him then hugged Mrs. Weasley and went into the girls room.

As the boys walked into their room Ginny walked into ours and then Hermione held me back by the wrist again and whispered so quietly I had to strain my ears to hear it:

"We have to make sure Ginny's asleep before we leave,"

Mrs. Weasley eyed us suspiciously and then closed the door gently behind us after Hermione smiled at her.

We each took turns getting changed inside the closet and then we went "to bed" because I knew Hermione and I were just waiting. Though I definitely didn't want to go to tell them my dream. I had decided what I would do...

I laid listening for a while after laying and Hermione and I staring at eachother Ginny stopped stirring and her breathing slowed. Hermione got up and slowly and quietly inched over to her.

"She's asleep," whispered Hermione.

She gestured for me to follow her and I did to the door. We opened it and I walked across the hall in front of Hermione to the boys room. I slowly opened the door and motioned for Hermione to follow me.  I walked inside and Ron turned on the light.

"Nice outfit," he said mockingly at me. He always did that to me when I snuck into their room at night. It true my outfit was quite awful. I wore a old one of Harry's old t-shirts that were white. Underneath that a pair of old shorts.

"Haha,"I laughed mockingly while rolling my eyes. Harry and Ron sat in the same bed as earlier. And now so did Hermione and I.

"Keep staying silent Elizabeth we have all night," said Harry maliciously. He scratched the back of his neck. I sighed before making my choice.

"Fine..." I said as Ron Harry and Hermione all turned their attention to me.

"I'll tell you... But only if you guys promise not to tell anybody no matter what," I did looking at each one of them. My heart was starting to beat fast, a sure sign that I was nervous.

"Alright, yeah," said Ron as he nodded in my direction.

"Fine-" said Harry grudgingly.

Hermione looked at me nervously and then at Harry and Ron.

"Hermione!" Ron exclaimed.

"Okay... Fine, I won't tell anybody," said Hermione but I wasn't very convinced.

"Alright..." I began.

"It first happened when I was sent into our room after the dementor attack-"

"First- you mean it happened more than once?" Asked Harry.

"Yes.. now I had been pacing around our room and staring out the window when I saw a bunch of owls fly in one by one. Everything went black and ... I don't know... I fell. Then it came like a memory... But one that I can't remember ever happening..."

I explained the first dream and when I got to the part about me calling him Tom Riddle. Harry flinched and grabbed his scar with a groan as I said the name.

"- Harry what's wrong?"

"Ahh just my scar," he said trying to make himself look like he was in less pain.

"Eliza, say that name again," said Hermione she sounded like she had a idea.

"Tom Marvalo Riddle," I said. Harry gripped his scar.

"It's the name-" he gripped his scar.

"What name?" Said Hermione.

"Voldemorts, it was on his diary..." The pain in his head seemed to calm down.

"Eliza, what did he look like?" Asked Harry leaning towards me.

"Well... he was pale, he had dark hair, and green eyes that glinted red when I would make him mad... which seemed to happen a lot. He was semi tall and about 16. I-I don't remember very well," I said pressing myself to remember.

"It's him-" said Harry.

"It's Voldemort-" he continued.

"Please don't use the name Harry," pleaded Hermione. Harry sighed.

"That's exactly how he looked when I was in the chamber of secrets," said Harry as he looked from Hermione to Ron.

"Continue the dream," prompted Ron.

I finished the first one and started the second. The three of them stared at me open mouthed.

"You know what this means? Right, Harry?" Hermione turned to my brother and Ron.

"Not really," said Harry. "But it's weird that Eliza's having memories of someone else's," he said deep in thought.

"Listen, I told you all right guys? Can I leave now? I'm tired," I said.

"Alright.. Goodnight Liza" said Harry somewhat apprehensively.

"Goodnight," I said to all of them.

"Goodnight," said Ron and Hermione in unison.

As I walked to the door I could feel their eyes burning on me. I walked outside the door closed it and tried to catch what they were talking about by leaning against the door quietly. They were talking very quietly but I could hear a bit of what they said.

"Harry we have to tell someone-" said Hermione.

"We swore we wouldn't-" said Harry

"She looked downright terrified," said Ron.

"Well do you blame her? Ronald don't you see? The curses that she said he cast on her must have really happened. That's why she was twitching and acting like she had a seizure. We need to tell the Order... You know in right Harry," she added at the end.

"Fine," said Harry after a minute.

"We'll get up extra early tomorrow and tell someone.." He trailed off.

"Okay," Said Ron quietly.

"I'd better go," said Hermione.

And with that I tip toed quickly across the hall into my room. And laid in bed but I don't dare go to sleep, not even after Hermione went to sleep. I had to beat them downstairs the next morning. I laid in the bed with my heart beating a mile a minute, staring into the rooms darkness. At one point I could have sworn I heard someone at the window. I even got up and checked but no one was there.
