Chapter One: Starting off at a Dead Run

Neville Longbottom was running faster than he ever had run in his entire life. He was tearing down the halls of Hogwarts. It was dark, the castle was quiet as he ran. When he reached the point where he thought he couldn't go anymore. He leaned his head down more and went even faster. He had thought he had transformed into a dragon because every single breath he took in felt like fire. Because today was the day. He had just found out moments ago that Harry Potter had finally spoke. And the words he decided to say were, okay Ginny. that was enough for Neville to run, And Ron, Ron just sat there and watched Harry leave. He hadn't talked in months. He barely ate he barely slept. And now one week into their sixth year it finally happened.

Neville had never been this scared in his entire life. Even with the debacle at the ministry. Harry hadn't said a word since leaving Dumbledore's office after that incident. After watching Sirius Black fall into the veil. But now, Neville was screaming in his own mind don't you dare Harry don't you dare I'll never forgive you don't you dare. He was almost there, just a little bit further he could see the base of the tower now. And the heavy wooden door was open, damn it was open.

Neville's blood ran cold. Neville could see someone else running towards him it was Blaise Zabini from Slytherin.. They both slid to a stop and looked at the door and then at each other.

Blaze pointed at the stairs and said "Draco"

Neville nodded "Harry"

Blaze looked back at Neville his voice terrified. " Oh, fuck"

The race was on to the top the staircase with all of its twists and turns seem to go on forever. Neville's blood had been replaced with acid he just knew it he could feel it burning through his veins he was almost to the top. And Blaze had matched him step for step. As they approached the top of the staircase they could hear the screaming the shouting how had the rest of Hogwarts not woken up to this cacophony of sound. they were there they had made it ,to the top sliding through the doorway together in the middle of the tower and they can see Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy standing on the ramparts. As if it was perfectly normal to stand On the railing overlooking the Black Lake and the jagged rocks below. After all, this is only Hogwarts is second highest tower. And they had no fear Pointing and screaming at each other. Blaze and Neville froze instantly. Too shocked to move, at the sight in front of them. They were both crying and screaming they were both pointing in waving their arms around.

Neville was speechless from the things that were being said. The twisted confessions being yelled back and forth between the two of them. Then Neville snapped out of it, "Harry come on Harry just look at me. I'm right here come on mate. Just look I'm right here,"

Blaze and Neville were talking over each other, trying to get their friends attention. to no avail they kept looking over the edge they kept yelling at each other they kept doing everything but looking at them. blazes pleas for Draco to look at him had become so loud next to Neville he couldn't hear what they were saying anymore. and then the two boys on the ledge stop talking they froze. for a split second Neville thought this was all over and they were going to get down, and then Neville heard the last part of what Harry was saying.

" I hope there's not a next time."

Caretakers Quarters-

His alarm was going off, a small compass was vibrating and making sounds, like a bird in a dive about to strike its prey. As the bed sheets were tossed around a hand sneaked out from under the covers blindly grabbing at the table, he grab the compass, that was sitting next to four wands and shook it. And the vibrating and screeching had stopped, definitely too early for this. He glanced over at his watch, it was 6 o'clock in the evening. Way way too early for this, he didn't start making his rounds until 11 o'clock at night. As he looked down at the compass. Where North should have been, in red lettering it said headmasters office. Well that's not a good sign,.

"I'm going to kill my uncle, o it's an easy job. Just have to patrol the castle at night. Nothing to it really, you'll get to use your abilities . It's nothing like the work you're doing now. Just have to deal with a bunch of brats every now and then sneaking out. Yeah definitely going to kill my uncle. But should it be quick and painless or should I draw it out those are the major questions here. It seems such a shame that he retired and then here I go and having to kill him off . Oh poor old uncle al , you do not know what is coming for you ," as he said with a chuckle and a low growl as he stretched in bed ."its too damn early. Three months into the job and I think I might go crazy. Great I'm talking to myself, not a good sign. Well I guess this means I have to get up, but I don't want to get up. Yep poor uncle dearest will die slow and painfully."

As he looked at himself in the mirror, he realized he was getting a bit pale. Working all these night shifts may not be the greatest thing for me. I May have to get out a little more. As he stared at his reflection in the mirror before he got ready to leave his bedroom. He started his last minute check . His two best knives were strapped to the center of his back above his waistline. A small knife in each one of his black combat boots. Holding up his black slacks, was his favorite black snakeskin belt. Grey button up shirt, and two black leather wrist guards underneath the shirt. And finally last but not least were two rings one on his right hand and one On his left. one black one white. The black ring where someone may set a stone, what at first glance would look like a thorn from a rose sticking up and directly out of the ring. It was designed to do one thing and one thing only. To draw blood, However the white ring on his left hand. Had a long white rectangle on top with the design of a staff with two coiled serpents on it, going from knuckle to knuckle on his middle finger. And its purpose was to heal. And, Yep that looks like everything, as he grabbed his black spider silk trench coat. With a hidden compartment for his short sword." Well I finally feel ready, to do pretty much absolutely nothing. Yep pretty much nothing , just chase a couple kids around. I wonder if the boredom of this job will kill me before I get a hold of my uncle. Well better go see what the headmaster wants."

Once he got to the Headmasters office and stepped in through the door he stood up straight.

" O there you are my boy let me introduce you to Hermione Granger, and Ginny Weasley. Apparently we're missing several students," He paused. " Ginny Hermione let me formally introduce you to, Argus Filch's nephew, he's from America Ladies , this is John Doe,"

Hermione looked at this young American he seemed the total opposite of Professor Snape in so many ways despite being the same height. John Doe was easy going. had a big smile on his face and put you at ease , His black hair was spiked up in all different directions. He was very muscular and she could see why the other girls have not stopped talking about him .

"well ladies it's nice to meet you."

Before anyone could say anything Hermione Granger looked at him and said" I've never been introduced to a dead man before."

The look on all the professors faces was comical.

McGonagall broke the silence. " how dare you. Miss Granger!"

Severus Snape raised an eyebrow.

And Albus Dumbledore laughed.

John spoke up " its okay Professor McGonagall it's kind of an inside joke. When the Muggles find a dead man and they do not know his identity. They name him John Doe. No matter the age, and if you're a woman they name you Jane Doe. " he paused. "And headmaster I've told you before, please introduce me as Johnny. Every time I hear John Doe I am always looking for my father."

the headmaster was smiling " I will try to remember that in the future, care to have a seat."

" Don't mind if I do."

" John I mean Johnny care for a lemon drop?"

" No thank you head master. "

As Johnny sat down the headmaster said " it appears that we have lost Several students two from Slytherin house, two from Gryffindor "

"Let me take a wild guess headmaster, you're missing Harry Potter , Draco Malfoy , Blaise zambini and Neville Longbottom." Johnny asked.

The headmaster nodded. " yes that's right . That's exactly right. That's exactly who we are missing. We know there somewhere in the castle but we just can't find them. But how did you? Well I found them headmaster, they're perfectly safe. I do believe they're all taking a nap."

" A nap?" repeated the headmaster.

"Yes a nap." repeated Johnny,

"I don't believe you" Ginny Weasley shouted " I can't believe you, do you think this is some sort of joke, do you know what happens when Harry Potter goes missing, something aweful must have happened, we have to find them."

Johnny looked over towards her, he said in a soft voice "miss Weasley if you're going to call me a liar. Do me the courtesy of looking me in the eye." His tone seemed a little harsh to her, but in a way he knew she helped cause this,

Ginny was cowed instantly and looked at the ground.

Johnny instantly said "I'm sorry hadn't had my beauty sleep I'm not really a morning person." As he stared at the three women.

Hermione Granger spoke up "its 6:30 in the evening."

Johnny stated "yes it is it's too early. For someone who wakes up at 10 o'clock at night. And I haven't even had my breakfast yet, so headmaster was there anything else you wish to discuss with me this morning."

" In fact there was, "the headmaster stated softly. And then with a questioning look, stated "you did say a nap".

Johnny smiled and said "yes I did. I'm not sure if they'll be ready for class tomorrow. But they're perfectly safe, if Miss Granger and miss Weasley, would be so kind to leave so we could discuss the other matter. I'm sure you would all like to enjoy the rest of your night."

As Professor McGonagall escorted the two young ladies out the door. Johnny turned his attention back to the headmaster. "What was the other matter you wish to discuss."

" Well it appears someone broke into the hospital wing last night and stole several potions . "

Severus Snape chose that time to speak up, "it was probably Potter."

Johnny was smiling as he looked at Professor Snape. "And you would be wrong."

Snape with a sarcastic voice said "and how would you know."

Johnny looked away and back to the headmaster. "Because I'm the one who stole them. "

"And just why would you do such a thing. And you did say a nap didn't you. "

"Yes headmaster, four calming potions and three strengthen and potions."

Severus Snape said" if you take those two together it will poison you ,you idiot."

Johnny commented "and that's why they haven't had the strengthening potions yet I'll give it to the boys later tonight."

McGonagall spoke up "please Johnny what happened. In who needed which potion, and where are the boys now. "

"Well, Professor McGonagall the boys are locked in my quarters, a sleep in my guest rooms. The only two doors they do not have access to is my bedroom, and the exits. And all 4 boys's wandz are locked in my bedroom . All 4 boys needed the calming potion. And Neville Longbottom and Blaise Zabini, will probably both need a strengthening potion when they wake up later tonight it appeared to me that Neville and Blaze were suffering from exhaustion. They overtaxed themselves. and one potion for me, Headmaster do you remember when I first came to the castle. I said I did not want my uncles old quarters. and i Pointed to the tallest tower. And said hey I'll take that one, you told me it was occupied. And then I chose the next tallest tower. Do you remember what you told me that tower was called?"

" Sorrow tower" the headmaster whispered.

"That's right headmaster and last night I had company. "

After hearing those words McGonagall turned white and slowly and shakily sat down by Johnny.

The headmaster leaned back in his chair, and Severus Snape just stood there. The headmaster spoke up "well , well so, how bad was it."

" I think you all fail to grasp the gravity," the word gravity seem to echo in the room. "Of this situation,"

the headmaster replied. " that bad."

Johnny gave him a sad smile "No it's worse than you could possibly imagine."

McGonagall whispered, with her eyes downcast she ask "did one of them, you know try to ?"

Johnny Answered her question In a soft sad voice , "what you're trying to ask professor is who went over the edge."

McGonagall shook her head yes,

Johnny said "well professor first off Harry Potter, and. "

Severus Snape gave out a sarcastic laugh "of course it was the golden boy. Self-righteous little, Pratt". Severus thought he heard a clap of thunder, as he went to go look towards the window. He realized he was laying on his back. With Johnny doe's polished boot in the center of his chest a pissed off Jonny standing on him, with to very long knives in each hand.

"Just keep talking professor" Johnny's voice came out as a growl. "You just keep talking, because the more you talk the less I like you."

Professor Dumbledore was standing ,his wand aimed directly at Johnny. "You can put those away now."

Johnny looked at the headmaster he raised one of his knives towards him. "And I suggest you lower your stick, because I haven't even started in on you yet."

McGonagall was standing her wand to her side. "You show the headmaster some respect."

Johnny's voice with deep and vicious as he looked over at her. His eyebrow when up, and a twisted smile came over his face. "Respect is earned not given, and none of you have my respect at this moment. None of you have realized, how royally you have fucked up. And I am here to put my boot in your ass until you fix it." His tone booked no argument.

"No one will be going anywhere near any of those boys without my permission and me present, I don't give a fuck who they think they are. I have bonded with the castle, as my uncle has before me. I gave a oth to protect the castle and everyone in it. So guess what? headmaster,"

Johnny's voice grew into a roar." So this is no longer just a job, I've turned it into a fucking calling."

Albus Dumbledore was Shocked and lowered his wand and Slowly sat back in his chair. "Please my boy let's calm down, and you can explain to us what has happened." Dumbledore quickly realize he was not talking to the easy go lucky young man he was earlier. He was talking to the soldier, that he knew johnny was . Albus Dumbledore knows some men are a shield some men are a sword . And he had heard the stories, and he could see the evidence with his own eyes. Johnny doe was a one man Army. With a nickname like "the calvary" this was a man you didn't want to mess with. And he had just bonded him to the castle Months ago and now that may have been a mistake. And his poor potions professor was just finding out, What kind of man he was dealing with . Everyone froze no one said anything and Johnny did not move off of professors Snape's chest he just stood there. They could see that he was calming down. Finally he took two steps back from Professor Snape, as he stared at Professor Dumbledore. You have royally fucked up. His tone was calm," you don't know how bad it is. And you should all be ashamed, of how little you know."

Albus thought he was going to cry for a moment. And then two tears fell from johnnys eyes. He took another step back, and with a flourish of his knives. And A swish of his trench coat his knives were holstered and he had turned and walked away towards the window wiping his eyes. Albus and Minerva were in shock, as he walked away.

As Severus Snape stood, the words expelliarmus. Rang through the office. Johnny never broke his stride towards the window. Severus Snape was disarmed by the headmaster." Severus I didn't do it for his safety I did it for yours."

The professors were all seated, even Snape. Johnny had been standing at the window for over 10 minutes. And then he finally spoke, headmaster Dumbledore. "Does that pensive the viewers work properly. It looks pretty old,"

Albus was stunned by the silence being broken. "Yes it does my boy, do you know how to use one."

" You'll have to take the memory for me. And see for yourself, there's no way to describe what I saw." Johnny stood there in front of the pensive, with Albus Dumbledore on his right, Minerva on his left and Professor Snape directly across from him.

Dumbledore said "you just have to think of when you want to start the memory . and when you want to end the memory, Try to think about it in as much detail as you can."

The Professor put his want up to Johnny's temple and started to pull out a tendril of light with a flick and a twist of his wrist the substance fell into the bowl. Johnny took a step back and towards the chairs. Dumbledore said" aren't you going to join us, Johnny gave out a sarcastic laugh. I don't want to see it again remember I was there. It's not pretty"

The three professors lean their heads into the bowl to see the memory. They found themselves in the Astronomy Tower. As Johnny was telling a young couple to go back to their dorm. He started down the stairs following along behind. As The couple turned a corner to go one way Johnny went the other. The three professors were following him in there ghost form. Trying to figure out what was going on. Johnny stopped reached into his pocket and pulled out a compass. That was vibrating and making a knocking sound like a woodpecker on a tree . On the compass where West should have been it said in blue letters house guest. Johnny turned and started walking back towards his own quarters. Once again the compass vibrated and let out a small knocking sound again. Johnny walked a little faster, the compass activated again. Johnny looked at it , where North was it said 'unwanted house guest'. The unwanted house guest meant someone was on top of the tower And then Johnny started running . The compass activated again. He glanced at it, unwanted house guest. It activated again ,unwanted house guest, then again, unwanted house guest. Johnny said out loud "what the hell."

And then was running faster, and then slid to a stop in the corridor and said fuck this. He looked up and down the corridor. Turned his thorn ring around, and let, the Thorn ring stabbed the inside of his palm drawing out blood. Johnny put his hand on the stone wall in front of him. And walked into it, and then came out of the wall at the top of the staircase in his personal tower. Johnny took his left hand with his white ring and ran it over the blood on his right hand. Healing the wound And making all of the blood evaporate instantly, he heard screaming and shouting. As Johnny had walked through the wall the professors had come along with him . They could see Johnny standing in the doorway. The closest to him was Neville Longbottom standing in the middle of the room. Beside Blaise Zabini. both boys were standing still in shock at what was being said in front of them. As well as Johnny, Could see up them up on the railing the three professors could see Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy screaming at each other. Screaming out at the world and screaming out all their secrets.

. Blaze and Neville froze instantly. Too shocked to move, at the sight in front of them. They were both crying and screaming they were both pointing in waving their arms around.

"You honestly believe you have it worse than me. Malfoy, that your life is so bad. At least you have a mother and a father.

"Honestly is that what you think you know nothing. Have you seen my father. You don't know how lucky you are, no father is better than a bad father. You just don't get it. You don't know me Potter, I feel tainted by my father's sins, I'm dirty i'm unclean you have no idea what I have to go through. Potter, the Boy Who Lived the chosen one standing up for the light in the right. Anything you do in this world will be justified as the greater good and a necessary evil. And you will be able to wash your hands of it. And go on with the rest of your life. And they've already got their claws into me. By blood by name by association. Oh don't you know he's a Malfoy. Both sides are watching every move I make, telling me how I can help their side. How I should be on the winning side. And both sides have failed to ask me if I even wanted to join in this damn war." As Draco was wiping tears out of his eyes he was pointing at Harry ,"go ahead call me a junior fucking Death Eater again. Maybe there's some people in Hogsmeade that can't hear you. I think we're up high enough, I think the world might even be listening. And I really don't give a shit. Come on Potter let me hear it, say it enough times and maybe I'll even sign up. Get a nice new tattoo and all, I wonder if they will give me vacation days. If I torture and murder enough, you know gotta make that quota. What's Wrong Potter don't like the sound of torture and murder. Oh but you're missing out on a great childhood, dearest daddy would tell me the greatest stories for bedtime. He even used to sing me songs. This is my wand this is for fun, you see the green light you know the jobs done. I mean how could I grow up and not be fucked up after that." Then Draco looked down over the side, and then moved his foot just a little bit more towards the edge.

"Is that how you see me as a self-righteous saint. Daddy told you about the torture I feel so sorry for you. Did your daddy's stick you in the cupboard under the stairs. Because my aunt and uncle did, I honestly think they forgot about me most of the time. Especially around mealtimes, but lucky me I got old enough to learn how to cook and clean. I have more in common with the house elf then I do a wizard. And as for torture, your father and my uncle would get along just fine. In that department, I'm sure they would love to team up, after all I make a great target. My cousin and his friends used to beat me black and blue. And my dearest uncle has a favorite belt. That I'm well acquainted with, growing up I thought my name was either boy or freak. It wasn't until I turned five that they called me Harry. Least you knew your fucking name. And let's not forget about everyone in the world trying to kill me. And if that wasn't bad enough I get everyone around me hurt or killed. It's not like there's no guilt there. Mother dead father dead, Cedric dead. and let's not forget about Sirius, well I don't know what the veil is. But yeah I'm pretty sure he's dead too. And now Ginny" his voice cracked when he said her name it came out a whisper." And well she's given up on me, I guess I was too big of an inconvenience. And then he moved his foot a little closer to the edge. Yep long way down. So you going to do it Malfoy. I wonder if you will bounce. What do you think will happen, to the great chess masters. Of the dark and the light. When their favorite two pawns jump off of the board."

Draco started to lean towards the edge. As he stared at Harry, they both leaned closer towards the edge. Draco said "maybe the next life won't be so bad."

Harry commented his voice lifeless "I hope there's not a next time."

Neville and blaze started taking small steps towards their friend one after another. Johnny was following slowly behind them. And then Johnny saw the exact moment when the two boys on the ledge had given up. He reached around with his left hand to grab his left knife. He was now stalking slowly behind Neville and blaze. With the dagger outstretched.

McGonagall screamed " no" and put herself between the two boys in Johnny. But seconds later Johnny walked right through her still creeping up behind them.

"Minerva try to remember you're in a pensive."" Severus Snape said in a calm voice.

With tears in her eyes Minerva said." Albus did you hear what they told each other. Is it true can it possibly be true". Minerva walked back towards Severus and Albus, "I hate being in a pensive. It must be the closest thing to being a ghost. Just watching what happens not being able to do anything. Albus look at those boys. "

He just shook his head and said "yes I know. I know,"

And then it happened, Johnny took the knife and slashed the palm of his hand. He held his hand shut. Whispered the words "come back to me." And then threw the blood into the air. As it flew through the air it seemed to turn into sand floating on the wind. And tiny particles of it. Landed on all four boys, and then there was silence. Johnny heard I hope there's not a next time . And saw the two boys go over the edge. He heard a scream and the other two boys running towards the edge. And then, Another scream and they went over, Neville and Blaze tried to stop themselves from going over the railing . However it had rained earlier that night and the stone was still wet. Neville and Blaze have reached out to each other to stop their momentum. But only succeeded in throwing each others balance off. With a gasp of air in a scream two more young men went over the rail. Neville and Blaze were falling to their death. As they were falling blaze said not like this. Not like this, Neville gave out a whisper. I'm sorry Gran, I love you. They could feel the wind rushing past and they held onto each other shirts and flipped and rolled in the air.

Harry and Draco they were falling sideways they could look up at the stars or down at the ground which was approaching quickly. Draco's eyes were closed it'll be all over in a second. Harry was falling looking up at the stars. And then Draco and Harry heard it The Scream harry looked back towards the top of the tower just in time to see blaze and Neville falling. Their arms outstretched as if to catch them. The first thing that came to Harry's mind was guilt, look I've killed another friend. I deserve this , I'm so sorry Neville Harry and Draco watch stunned as their friends fell towards them. We're did they come from why were they on top of the tower it didn't make any sense why were they falling. This is our fault, blaze and Neville seem to be falling faster and faster. Catching up almost to Draco and Harry. Harry never took his eyes off of his falling friend. Harry put out his arms so he was falling backwards so he could see Neville as he was falling. And Neville and blaze got closer, and closer and closer.

Johnny was running he slid at the last second into center of the round room he Slammed his bloody hand onto the stone leaving a bloody handprint there. He stood up pointed at the railing and screamed" I summon you back to me now." His outstretched fingers turned into a fist and he pulled his hand back as if pulling on a rope the boys froze in mid air he could feel it.

And then Harry heard absolute sobbing, Mixed with hysterical laughter, it was Draco Malfoy as Harry looked over towards him he heard him say "I truly can't do anything right."

Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, were floating in mid-air, right above the jagged rocks harry looked back up towards his falling friend. To see him hovering above took several long second for all four boys to realize. That they had stopped falling,

Neville was the first to speak." Is everyone ok," his words were cut off as they started to fly back up the side of the tower faster and faster. The three professors looked at Johnny seeing him still holding his bleeding had out over the bloody handprint on the floor, the blood still dripping, as blaze and Neville were just about to come back over the railing. They could hear Johnny say "oh shit. Put too much power in that last one." And then Johnny dove head first, towards the open doorway leading to the stairs. As the boys were thrown violently over top of the bloody handprint. That was quickly evaporating. The professors turned back just in time to see Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy appearing over the railing landing on there friends and then rolling away. The headmaster saw Johnny in the doorway dusting himself off from his little tumble out of the boys way. The three professors stood back towards the ledge watching everything in front of them . Tears coming out of Professor McGonagall eyes, the unbelieving look of Professor Snape. And this sorrow and shame ,and disappointment in Albus's ,Self I have failed them he kept thinking . The three professors just stood there watched and Listening to the boys and watching Johnny standing in the doorway.

Neville got out the words, "is umm okay, is everyone okay."

Blaze made his way to the closest wall. And begin to dry heave, up his dinner. As he struck the wall over and over with his fist.

Draco Malfoy was still laying on his back tears pouring down his face. "Anything I can't do anything right anything, I can't I just can't anything. I can't do anything right why I can't even do this right how do you fuck up killing yourself."

The sarcasm, that came out of Neville Longbottoms mouth could have killed a dragon. "How did you screw it up simple, you involved Harry Potter."

And after hearing those words, Severus Snape gave out a humorless laugh, and said "well, thank God for that."

Neville Longbottom was sitting up on his knees looking over the group. Draco Malfoy was inconsolable, As he was laying on his back with his hands over his eyes. Harry was curled up in a ball on the cold wet stone floor whispering something to himself over and over.

Blaze was cleaning himself off and crawling on all fours towards Draco. Pulling Draco up into his lap like he was holding a child. Saying "it's okay come on man pull it together it's going to be alright. Draco can you hear me Draco oh come on man. Say something to me, snap snap snap out snap out of it." Blaze was just putting aside what had happened to him. To try to calm down Draco, All the professors could do was watch the boys, they could see blaze is hands trembling.

Neville wasn't too far off, from him as he pulled Harry over and made him sit up. Neville was hugging Harry from behind, trying to hear what he was saying. All of them all of them harry just kept repeating it. "All of them o god all of them what? what? Harry what are you saying? All of them I'm going to get all of them killed."

Johnny stood there in the doorway. Assessing the boys, two of them at least look like they were in control of themselves and the other two are not going anywhere soon. Johnny steps back into the staircase put his right hand behind his back grabbing his right knife and squeezing the handle hard. He could feel the knife heating up healing the very deep wound .As Johnny stood there he realized there was a pool of blood starting to evaporate on the stone by his foot. Then he realized he had wasted too much time before healing himself. After pulling his hand away and examining it. He twisted his ring around and stabbed the palm of his hand. Drawing just a small amount of blood out, compared to the massive about he had just had used. He put his hand on the stone wall and walked through. Since the three professors we using the pensive they had to go wherever Johnny went. It was Plain to see to the two men that, Professor McGonagall wanted to stay up on the tower. But they were drug through the wall following Johnny. Johnny came out of a wall in the hospital wing, he stood there in the middle of the wing walked around in a circle a couple times. Saw the potions cabinet and headed towards it. Halfway to the cabinet Johnny got dizzy, stumbled and then fell onto his side. Once again Professor McGonagall forgot she was in a pensive. As Severus reminded her she stopped her actions of trying to help him up. Johnny shook his head and quickly stood back up. Saying to himself you're not done yet, keep moving. Stabbed the palm of his hand again. Held the blood for just a moment, through the wet blood on to the lock of the cabinet. In with a twist of his wrist said Open Sesame. The doors of the cabinet popped open quickly. Johnny reached in and grabbed four, calming potions. And put them in his trench coat, he reached back in and grabbed a strengthening potion. Opened it up and drink it right there. And pocketed the empty vial, he looked back towards the cabinet and grabbed two more strengthening potions. After pocketing them He looked around the hospital wing saw a bed that had several blankets neatly folded on them ,and grabbed two of the blankets . he knelt down to the ground laid his bloody hand on the stone. And sank through the stone floor, once again dragging the three professors with him, till he reached the top of the tower.

The boys had not moved, all still sitting holding their friend. And then blaze and Neville realized there was someone else in the tower, Johnny was standing in the center of the tower."

Hell of a night isn't it boys. Have them drink this." And handed all of them calming potions. And a couple of blankets,

blaze looked up at Johnny. "He won't stop I can't get him to stop he won't calm down. You have to let him come back on his own. You can't force it,"

Minerva looked at the two men and said "they're both in shock."

"No they're all in shock Johnny should have came to us immediately." Johnny said to the boys at the very instant Minerva was talking. " need to know something from you boys and I need to know it quickly. Do I get the professors or do you want to keep this a secret. Because the only people who heard anything were in this tower. So you four and me, what's it going to be gentleman."

Blaze said softly" a secret,"

Johnny took a step closer to him. And then froze, Dumbledore McGonagall and Snape moved closer as well to hear the conversation.

Blaze said it again "a secret. A secret is a secret. I've been keeping Draco secrets since our friendship began, how well do you think I'm doing I just watched my best friend in the fucking world, jump off A fucking tower, and I even went along for the ride. So how well do you think me keeping secrets from people has been for us? "

Johnny knelt down beside blaze put his hand on his shoulder. And said "when someone's in pain and you want to help them. There's no such thing as a good secret. I'll help you boys I swear it. I'll do what needs to be done". Johnny reached down put his fingers against Draco's neck and checked his pulse, the boys were starting to shake and the wind at the top of the tower was picking up. He walked over to Potter and checked his pulse is well." We need to get your friends into a nice warm bed."

" Mr. and Mr. my name is blaze zimbini, and I'm Neville Longbottom. And our friends are, "

Johnny cut off what he is about to say "yes I heard Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy I caught that. So do you think you boys can help me with your friends."

They said "if you're talking about the hospital wing it's not going to happen. "

Johnny said "now why's that."

Blaze answered him with "I don't think I could make it to the door. I can barely feel my feet,"

Neville said "I'm with him on this. I can barely move as well. Just getting to hear was hell, and I'm not even going to mention that landing we just had. I don't even know what the hell just happened to us ." Neville Longbottom said in a sarcastic voice.

Johnny spoke up "well lucky for you my personal quarters are in this tower. So we just have to make it down one flight of stairs. I'll help you boys down one by one if I have to. " So it began Johnny slid Harry beside Draco and Blaze. he picked up Neville Longbottom and carried him to his personal quarters. Set Neville on the couch, and said "I'll be back with Harry. "After Harry had arrived draco was next to be seated on the couch . followed by blaze who had pretty much collapse into the chair by the fire. After all of them had finally arrived in the caretakers quarters." He said I will go make the beds for you. And then I'll be back out to get you," Johnny walked into the first bedroom pulled the sheets down on the bed. And then walked over towards the window, after smearing some blood in a X pattern on the window. He said "as tough as steel I command you." As he reached his hand on the lock of the window. He said "for no other age older than mine thou shall open."

As the three professors watched Johnny work securing the rooms for the boys Severus spoke directly to the headmaster." You allowed a blood mage into the castle. Don't you know how dangerous they are,"

the headmaster gave out a small chuckle "Severus my boy there has always been a blood mage in Hogwarts. Always."

Severus looked sideways at the headmaster. "You mean to tell me Argus Filch is a Blood mage."

The headmaster just shook his head yes.

Severus said "I knew something was wrong with that man. I knew something was going on. No matter how fast I ran through the castle he would always beat me to the destination."

After watching Johnny secure both windows in each room turn down the beds pick up all four boys they watch Johnny walk back to the entrance to his personal quarters they watched again is Johnny smeared some blood on the handle, and said "for no age older than mine thou shall open. "Johnny repeated this process with his bedroom door. And then walked back into Harry Potter and Neville's room. He helped Harry take his shoes off and slip out of his robes, as Neville was attempting the same thing. Then Johnny started to take off Harry's wand holster. Then Johnny felted, a wand at his throat.

Neville Longbottom said with a growl "what do you think you're doing with his wand."

Johnny froze,

Severus whispered" oh my long bottoms got a backbone."

Johnny Looked at the young man and said" he just jumped off the fucking tower. Do you really think he needs to be wielding magic."

Neville lowered his wand and looked a little ashamed. "No I guess he doesn't need it after all"

.And Severus with a sarcastic voice said "well there goes his backbone"

. Minerva looked at him like she wanted to slap him.

Albus remained quiet and just watch the scene in front of him. after pocketing Harry's wand into his trench coat he walked around the bed. To Neville side , where the boy had just finally started to get settled Johnny held out his hand and snapped his fingers at Neville. Neville raised an eyebrow what.

Johnny pointed at the wand holster on his wrist. "Come on Neville, give it up."

Neville's response was "now why would I do that".

" Because your friend isn't quite himself. And when he realizes he does not have a wand. He may go looking for one. And if you don't have one there won't be a fight for one. Don't worry I'm taking the other boys wand's as well. While you're in my quarters you all be disarmed in state you're all in none of you should be casting anything ".

Neville handed over his wand to Johnny." Don't worry I'll keep it safe." Before Neville could fall asleep Johnny said, "I'm locking you all in my personal quarters. For your own safety do you understand,"

Neville said "yes sir I do."

and then Johnny shut the door behind him. As the three professors, followed behind Johnny into the next room. And once again proceeded to watch him tuck in the boys and explained to blaze why he was disarming all of them.

The headmaster looked to Professor McGonagall, " Dear are you alright."

" She did not say a word Severus looks startled as well. "Mini are you okay "

she just shook her head." Four, four" she repeated again " four." And then she stuttered out the word one more time" four. We almost lost for in one night. How could this happen , how could we possibly have let this happen. Your Draco's Godfather Severus. Do you not care about the boy. And you Albus, you have complete control of everywhere harry goes and everyone he sees. And you couldn't see this happening. Johnny was right, we should be ashamed of what we don't know. Albus we almost lost four in one night. And you Severus, it seems you care more about Johnny being a blood caster than fact your godson went over the tower."

The two men, looked as if they had been slapped. They knew she was right, Severus pointed down at Draco." He is alive, Minerva he's right there I can see him. However if I had lost him this would not be my reaction. That I would give, we knew the boys were safe before we even stepped into the pensive. And during all this I had to keep that in mind. And I'm sure the headmaster agrees with me on that. We knew they were safe."

" Well I'm telling both of you now" Minerva said in a whisper "I won't feel safe until I see them with my own Eyes."

And the professor realize that they were being drug out of the room by johnny leaving. He was walking in his bedroom in the professors were forced to follow once again. Johnny walked in his room leaving four wands by his bedside table. and turned quickly started to leave his quarters heading out of the tower. As Johnny turned to the side of the tower. Minerva said" what's going wrong what's wrong with the pensive." Dumbledore said "the memory is almost over that's why it's getting foggy."

Johnny turned the corner he could see the sunrise, he quickly put his hand over his eyes and then turned his back towards the sun. He mumbled something... Minerva and Severus did not hear it. But the headmaster did, Johnny mumbled "someone needs to turn that damn thing off, it's too fucking bright." Johnny turned around it started to walk back towards his quarters." I'll tell them later "he was talking to himself. And then Johnny said out loud "great I'm talking to myself." Then the professors watched him head towards his room. And then they were kicked out of the pensive.
