“HE IS HERE. THE ONE WHO WILL TEAR APART THE VERY STARS IN HEAVEN. HE IS HERE. HE IS THE END OF THE WORLD.”
This reminded me of a dream I had the night before Sunday, Dec 2, 2012, which I posted to my livejournal blog the next day. I’m not sure what I expect to accomplish by posting this here, but I thought you might find it interesting. Here is what I wrote about that dream:
″
A scene where I dreamt I was reading the next chapter of HPMOR. It was extremely vivid. As if I was there. Very clear image and sound. Even some dramatic music. Ominous countdown to doom music. At least 3 different instruments.
Quirrel’s plan is revealed. He plans to destroy the universe and re-create it “in his own image”. Simpler laws of physics, that grant him unlimited power just by physically being at the center of the new universe. The new universe also contains magic, the dream showed a simple two-gesture spell that would allow Quirrel to “become a sun god”, allowing him to create, destroy, and manipulate stars.
Quirrel’s plan involved some extremely powerful magic, beyond what anyone thought possible. It involved creating a sphere of ultra-condensed matter, energy, space, and time, just outside Hogwarts. Quirrel put his plan into action during the last moments of his life, but as he entered the sphere of “MEST compression”, subjective time for him slowed down by orders of magnitude, and he had immense power, allowing him to create the massive structures required for his plan in what looked like just a few seconds to the world outside the sphere. And there were other sentient beings in the sphere with him. Harry was there, near the center of the sphere, tricked into believing that he was saving this universe, not helping to destroy it. Also some other characters, with a generic “shopkeeper” or “smith” personality, who were in charge of helping the construction of something that vaguely resembled a series of Large Hadron Colliders, enormous metal rings and other structures arranged in a precise 3d structure resembling an enormous lattice, or cage. Quirrel giving instructions to these assistants on how to assemble the structure. The dream showed some of their replies. “You’re not going to believe this, but there’s this giant metal tube floating towards me. It’s exactly the shape you described, but Merlin it’s huge! I cant even see the end of it! I’m standing by to attach it to the next piece, which is also floating this way now. This won’t be easy.”
And so Quirrel continued assembling the structure. Most of it went according to plan, but then one of the helpers, panicking, informed him that one of the pieces wasn’t lining up correctly. Harry had figured out that something was wrong with Quirrel’s plan. He deactivated the barrier around the sphere, and summoned McGonagall, who also earned immense power when she entered the sphere. Harry told her some of what was happening, and said that they needed to find a wristwatch that Quirrel had charmed, which was somehow controlling the time compression. McGonagall found the watch, and started to move it out of place, but then Quirrel found her. Quirrel was far to powerful to be killed directly, but if they could somehow delay his plans long enough, he was already dying. McGonagall didn’t stand a chance in the battle, but Quirrel didn’t destroy her entirely, he instead left her mostly powerless. He hadn’t given up on regaining Harry’s trust.
The scene ended on a cliffhanger. “Wait until next week when I’m finished writing the next chapter to find out what happens next”
