As morning turned to afternoon, Neville and his grandmother went to St. Mungo's yet again to visit his parents. This visit had been extremely difficult because his mother had shown signs of sanity, but only for a brief moment. She had looked into his eyes and said, "Neville, my son. Beware of Voldemort! He is looking for you!"

It had been the first time Neville's mother had recognized him as her son. This made him so happy that he didn't even pay attention to the things she said about Voldemort. She didn't know that Harry had defeated him as a baby and that Voldemort had risen again. As far as she knew, he had never been gone. And what was this about Voldemort looking for Neville? It didn't make any sense. Both Neville and his grandmother dismissed it and focused on the fact that she had finally recognized Neville as her son, if only for a very brief moment.

Later that afternoon, after all the excitement from visiting his mother, Neville grew very tired. He went into his room to take a nap. He had a dream about Harry's scar. It was burning bright red. Fire almost seemed to be coming out of it. And it was talking! It kept saying what Neville's mother had said to him. "Beware of Voldemort! He is looking for you!" It kept saying it over and over and over again. Neville wanted to wake up, but he couldn't. He tossed and turned in his bed. He was drenched in sweat now and he was yelling and screaming in his sleep.

He was finally awoken by his grandmother. He bolted upright and instantly felt his forehead. There was no scar there, but he felt like there was, for his forehead was in horrible pain. Why was this happening to him?

"Neville, that's the third time this week you've woken up like that," said his concerned grandmother. "What are you dreaming about when this happens to you?"

"I already told you, gran. I have a dreamless sleep and then somehow I wake up with a headache."

Neville didn't dare tell her he had been dreaming of the scar all week, or that he woke up feeling like he had a scar himself. She had enough to worry about with his parents. She didn't need to be worrying about him too.

But why was he having these dreams and feeling pain on his forehead when he didn't even have a scar? Why did his mother tell him to beware of Voldemort? Could Voldemort really be looking for him?
