Dreams And Decision 3

'This time they were in some woods, forest around Hogwarts if he had to guess and everything was dark. Harry can hear something in the distance.

HOWL.

It was a growl, no, no… it was a howl. 'A howl? What makes a howl?' Thought Harry and as he turned around to see what is howling and why.

It has a large snout, human-like eyes, a tufted tail, and an unrecognisable expression.

Its amber eyes stared directly at his emeralds and an expression of rage came over it before he could do anything, it started moving towards him. A claw-like hand, which has only four bony fingers, took its hand up in a placating manner to show he was not harmful.

But the werewolf didn't take it and started to move towards him giving no sign of stopping. It gave one last howl before it lunged towards him'.

Harry woke up instantly, his body and sheets covered in sweat. His magic is erratic, lashing out until another green glow from his Lord ring gave him a soothing feeling.

He calmed down and drank some water. After taking water, he started to think about everything he saw in his dreams.

Apart from them being much realistic as if he is experiencing them, he could feel the tension his body felt just before he woke up.

His body twitched often as if preparing for something to come out and attack him at any second. He can also recall the four claw hands he saw.

It was weird having only 4 fingers. Aside from that, he can feel his heart pump as he remembered the werewolf lunge at him.

Harry took a few deep breaths to calm himself and thought about the possibilities of having such weird dreams and decided to ask the only person he knew could answer him.

He mentally touched the green jewel that was in his mindscape and a bright golden flash, Mira was in front of him.

"Harry, are you alright?" She asked in a concerned tone as she appeared in front of him in the Inner Chamber.

"I'm fine, Mira. It's just I had pretty bad nightmares," explained Harry and proceeded to explain his dreams to Mira.

She also noticed the high level of detail her master is explaining the dreams in. She took in everything and after a few minutes, she spoke.

"So put it straight, you felt you were in the dream as if experiencing that Quidditch match and being attacked by that werewolf?"

"Yes,"

"And you are positive that the werewolf is the Professor teaching you?" She asked again.

"Yes. He is the only one near me now and I think he is the one transformed after seeing the full moon and if I recall correctly, it is near the Whomping Willow outside Hogsmeade," explained Harry.

"I can only think of one possibility, Harry," said Mira at last, giving Harry a serious look.

"You somehow got my ability to predict the future,"

"Like a seer?"

"Yes. Like a seer. Maybe it is also a side effect of gaining my Jewel willingly? Who knows you would have these many benefits just by getting a Horned Serpent Jewel willingly," said Mira in a proud tone.

As her master had been proved how valuable and beneficial creatures her kind were if they were to choose a human as master, guided by their intuitions.

"Then what about that 4 finger thing I saw? I mean it was as if I was seeing through it," asked Harry.

"Who knows. It may be some kind of ability you would develop in the future. If my experience is correct, we still have some time till those events come to pass," said Mira confidently.

After accepting Harry as her master, her life changed, in a better way. She now has a companion who can talk to her and loves her so much.

She also had a person to talk to and train and oh Merlin, training was so fun. It is always good to see Harry learn new skills as well.

"Do these dreams or predictions depend on my control over my mind or just come without any regulation?"

"I don't know. I would get a dream whenever you are in danger. Just follow them as they come." Mira said with a snake's equivalent to a shrug.

"So go with the flow it is?" Harry asked and Mira nodded in agreement.

"I also saw how easily I can fly without my broom as well,"

"Is it? How well did you do?"

"Pretty much good. I was able to float at 200 feet for minutes," said Harry with a big smile.

"Good. Seems you have improved a lot. How did your search for that black mass go?"

"So, so. I can't find out about it but I'm sure these books have answers in them. I named it Inky for the time being. I just need to find it. I found out about Lethifolds though," explained Harry.

"Inky? Nice name and Lethifolds, eh. Dark creatures they are. Should be careful with them," said Mira and Harry agreed.

"Ya. They love to eat human flesh, it seems,"
