Thud.

A tall man dropped a big, black trunk onto the ground and spun around analyzing his surroundings.

The mans eyes locked onto a women with sharp blue eyes. The women brought up a stick, and a green light flew out of the stick.

Dodging the incoming green light, the tall man with unruly black hair and haunted but deadly green eyes brought out his own stick, and spoke with deadly precision, like he had been speaking those words all his life. "Protego Maxima."

A blue dome shimmered into existence around the man.

The man then proceeded to spin his wand in a precise, fast movement. A nearby stone statue came to life as it stood between the man and the women.

The woman laughed in amusement as her relaxed posture and deadly eyes conveyed that she was stronger than the man and that she could kill him in seconds if wanted.

The man sighed, and lowered his wand. Not amused, he spoke in a hollow tone. "What do you want."

"Why, I simply want to help you of course." The woman smirked at the man with a defeated look.

"I don't want or need any help. I no longer have a reason to live. All my friends are dead." The man glared at the woman.

"Honestly, you are being way too melodramatic. I only wanted to help you save your friends."

Looking at her in shock, the man quickly lowered his shield and returned the stone statue back to its original place. "How?" The man looked at the woman in a hopeful way.

"Oh, that's quite simple... The Room of Requirement of course. Every century the room can be used to travel back in time. Really useful if you ask me... Although, you would have to get past Voldemorts men to get into the room of requirement." The woman smirked at the mans shocked look.

Frowning at the women, the man asked the question that thousands of people asked throughout all of time. "Who are you? Why are you helping me?"

Smirking, the woman replied, "Me? Oh, I'm just an ordinary woman that should have died in the summer after your fifth year of school. And as for why I'm helping you? You'll find out eventually." With that, the woman disappeared, leaving only a shadow that faded seconds later.
