In this dream sequence, Harry relives another childhood memory from before he found out about magic. Aunt Petunia berates a young Harry for his shoddy domestic work, then shames him for wetting the bed. Young Harry tries to explain a nightmare he had about his parents’ death. He heard his mother screaming, a snake hissing, and a man’s voice uttering strange words; Aunt Petunia reiterates that his parents died in a car crash. The setting contorts, and trees rise around Young Harry; Albus appears and looks at him, and Voldemort’s voice is heard again, whispering Harry’s name.

Ginny enters as Harry awakens from his nightmare; he tells her about Voldemort’s voice and Albus’s appearance at the end, dressed in robes of the Durmstrang School. Harry knows where Albus is.

Harry and Ginny tell the Headmistress, Professor McGonagall, about the dream and their belief that Albus is in the Forbidden Forest bordering the school grounds. Hermione, Ron, and Draco arrive as well, and the group proceeds to the Forest to look for the boys.
