AN: So obviously I do not own any of the Labyrinth characters or plot lines, or any characters from Harry Potter and its plot lines. Everything else just came to me during some down time at work. This story is a slow burn for me, and I may take a while to post new chapters, but I appreciate all the followers and reviews. I also edited the chapters a little bit, didn't change much content, but there are a few new lines here and there, and hopefully it reads a little smoother. If there is something major you see feel free to PM me I will try to correct it, however, I will say I know there will be punctuation errors, I try to correct them, but some still slip through.

And as always please review, but do so with respect that I am not perfect. I had someone say that I only wanted to hear good reviews and all, which sure I'm down for that, but that is not what I had meant, I just believe there is a respectful way to approach a critique instead of being rude or an a** about it that is all. With that said, I hope you enjoy.

Prologue:

Hogwarts, her home away from home...it was always nice to return to the castle that was almost always filled with the sounds of students roving about going to and from classes, and chattering with the latest gossip. Her little flat was rather silent, and she hadn't had much time to meet anyone in her neighborhood between her summer job and homework. It would be a relief to be back around people she didn't have to pretend to be someone she wasn't with.

The summer before, her stepmother Karen had discovered her and her dad's family secret, she was a witch and the boarding school she'd been going to for the five years before that was actually a school for wizards and witches; needless to say it didn't go well. She had demanded that Sarah leave the house, she didn't want devilry like that around her son. The last thing her father was able to do for her before Karen cut Sarah off from her family was to buy her a house in Surrey, where she lived during the holidays.

Looking out the train window she watched as the school came closer and closer into view as the great steam engine made its way to the station in Hogsmeade where the students would switch modes of transportation to complete the trip to the castle. The first years would go with the school's game keeper in the boats across the lake, and everyone else went in the carriages through the surrounding woods.

She quickly changed into her robes after closing the curtains to the cabin she was inhabiting by herself; after she finished changing she reopened the curtains and was greeted with two red heads pressing their faces to the glass, she gave them only the satisfaction of single raised eyebrow. They left the glass and joined her in the cabin that they normally would have joined her in at Platform 9 3/4. They talked lightly of the twins' plans for their joke shop they planned on building once they finished at Hogwarts, all three only had this year and the next before they were completely done with their studies. They were in their sixth year this year, the twins' little brother and his two best friends were in the year below them, and their younger sister was starting her fourth year; she always kept an eye on the Golden Trio who always seemed to be getting into some form of trouble and bringing at least one other person in with them.

Last year had been full of chaos starting when Harry had been chosen to compete in the Tri-Wizard Tournament even though he was underage to do so. The death of Cedric Diggory mysteriously in the maze, the final round in the tournament, and with his death the rumor of Voldemort's return in which the Ministry was denying even though there was evidence to prove his return was an unfortunate reality.

The train came to a halt at the train station and allowed the students to get off it and onto the platform to go to their respective transportation for the remainder of their journey. She and the Weasley twins headed for the carriages and were joined by Ginny and Katie Bell. On the ride up to the school all the Weasley's present explained the blasphemes letter from their older brother Percy who was a new addition to the Ministry's force.

Apparently he had been telling their whole family that Dumbledore was just a crazy old fool trying to overthrow the power of the Ministry, and more directly to Ron to end his friendship with Harry who always followed blindly with the Headmaster's unjustifiable ideas. She gave a snort at the older boys thoughts; certainly it was obvious that the Headmaster was a bit looney, but anyone who dared call him a fool or say he wanted to over throw the Ministry was a fool themselves. However, out of respect for her friends she kept her opinion to herself. She did not have time for people like Percy, they were the type of people who held the wizarding world back.

Arriving at the castle they got out of the carriage and went straight to the Great Hall for the sorting ceremony and feast with the rest of the students that were already filing in. This is where she went separate ways with her friends, for they were Gryffindor house and she regretfully in the Slytherine house.

Her house mates were not very fond of her for the simple fact she associated with the Gryffindors as much as she did, especially Draco Malfoy, he made it his personal mission to try and harass her for being friends with the 'disgraceful Weasley's, Potter, and the mudblood' as he so kindly termed them. As she walked up to the table he scrunched his face into an expression of disgust which she only returned with a perfectly arched eyebrow telling him that she didn't find him the least big threatening or impressive.

"Don't know why you bother sitting over here, Williams, you are pretty much a filthy Gryffindor with how much time you spend with them, I mean you're practically married to those Weasleys"

Her hand dramatically came up to her chest as if he had wounded her. "I'm sorry that's how you feel, Malfoy. Honestly, I always thought you and I would get married once we both were out of here, a nice little white wedding in the Forbidden Forest, that's where you're from isn't that right?"

"How dare you speak to me a such, I would never attach myself to a freak like you and sully my family's bloodline!"

"Good, because I wouldn't want my children to have a father as prejudice as you." She took her seat at the opposite end of the table as the blonde haired boy to avoid having to converse anymore with him than she had already. She nodded to the professors who'd watched the exchange silently choosing not to interfere until they had to.

Dinner came and went without much excitement except the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, who had interrupted the Headmaster's welcoming speech to give her own much to the shock of the staff and student body. She soon found herself leading the first years down to the dormitories in the dungeons listening to the other students in her house discussing the new DADA teacher, Dolores Umbridge. Most thought the overly pink and shrill woman was going to be the best teacher they've had yet, but she knew this new teacher was not there to benefit the students , and there was just something about the woman that made her instantly dislike her.

Once she finished with her prefect duties she went up to her dorm which she found she had to herself this year; she changed from her robes to her long emerald green satin nightgown and sat down on the window sill with a book and began to read. She didn't dare let herself sleep more than a few hours a night, it was the only time she wasn't safe from Him. He couldn't bother her while she was awake, but when she had no choice but to succumb to sleep that's when he would come, and take control of her dreams, bringing forth that wretched ballroom every time and if not there the horrible Escher room. He wanted to control her completely, but thankfully even in her dreams she still controlled her own mind and body, and she wasn't about to give that up to him.


The next few weeks went on much the same way, she'd wake up for breakfast and her morning classes, then lunch; she had a free period between lunch and her afternoon classes so she went to the library to study with Hermione who somehow had too many classes to have a free period. But as All Hallows Eve drew closer things started to get more bizarre than having a teacher who didn't want them practicing magic in class; sleep became harder and harder to resist from all the stress of dealing with school things and keeping a close eye on her friends. Her fae magic began to get out of control, and more than once had left her so drained of energy that she had to stay a few nights in the hospital wing.

Madam Pomfrey didn't know what else she could do when her potions didn't work a quick on the girl as it did on all the other students who came to her, Sarah had tried to tell her there really wasn't anything she could do but let her rest since part of her magic came from another realm, but the medi witch never listened. It had been a few days since her last visit to the infirmary and everything had been fine since so long as she didn't perform too many spells.

Professor Umbridge had taken quite an extensive interest in her over the weeks, constantly trying to pry into her life and make an example out of her thinking that by doing so would make her Gryffindor buddies behave better. She would also try to find out if the girl was secretly working behind her back plotting with the Headmaster. She would do this by having a fellow Slytherine pretend to befriend her then report back to her, but all her attempts came back as failures. On top of that the insufferable woman would find an excuse to ban something or create another rule, slowly trying to make the school run like a military barracks.

She had attempted to make Professor Trelawney leave the school grounds which had been her home for many years, thankfully Dumbledore had stepped in and put a temporary end to the woman's power trip. He told her that while she may have the authority to dismiss any of teachers she did not retain the authority to dismiss them from the premises, that power still lied with him. As he was making his point he had Professor McGonagall escort the divination teacher back into the castle.

That incident had effectively ruffled the pink woman's feathers, and it wasn't long before she'd gotten the Ministry there to terminate the old man's title as headmaster and to have him taken to Azkaban. Though, rumor has it that the Headmaster refused to go quietly and with the aid of his phoenix Fawkes he vanished and his whereabouts since have remained unknown.

By the time their OWLS arrived the woman thought she had finally found order with the troublesome children...until the Weasley's got involved and lit firecrackers off in the middle of the testing room as they flew overhead on their broomsticks. She'd been in the adjoining room when the ruckus started so naturally everyone in her room went out to see what was going on. She hadn't even realized they hadn't been in her testing room that morning.

After that Hermione and Harry had to distract Umbridge when she caught them trying to smuggle several students through her office floo system, she thought they were going to try and go to Dumbledore; still convinced the students she'd caught in the Room of Requirement knew the old man's whereabouts and were refusing to cooperate with the Ministry "who were looking out for their best interest." She'd been one of the students she'd caught in her office, and after the woman had been dealt with she was also one of the ones that went to the Ministry's Department of Mystery with some of the other DA group.

They battled Death Eaters, Dumbledore even showed back up and battled the Dark Lord to protect Harry from the Killing Curse. As the ministry started arriving Voldemort and his followers retreated, his presence no longer up for doubt. Everyone was allowed to head back to the school, but she was not among those students to return...she'd been grabbed and drugged to make her fall unconscious...no one seemed to have noticed the Death Eater who'd grabbed her.
