else you realize are The Fantastic and Talented J.K.Rowlings, I own nothing except the
plot. DAM IT!
Adventures in my Past
My answer to everything lay in that office draw. all I had to do was break into
McGonnagal's office, grab it, and I would be set. I could forever look at them when I
needed to, hear there voices when I had to. No more of this lame grasping photos and
what others said. It was so simple, yet I had never thought of it before. It still had to be
there, but first I had to plan. It had been 15 years ago to the day, so how many hours was
that? 131,400 hours from the day they died. That would be so many turns. But I had
wanted this for so long. To see my parents faces, to hear there laughter, to see if I really
did look like my father. Yes, I had everything to gain, and everything to lose. I was
stuck in a midpoint, that I couldn't get out of. I had wanted this since I could remember,
formulated since third year, and now... it was in reach. I crept down out of the
dormitories to see Hermione sitting in the common room. I silently crept around her,
dreading the thought of what would happen if my beloved saw me and figured out what I
was going to do. out of the portrait hole I crept. I had my three most prized possessions
with me, my Firebird, the best seeker's broom in the world, and my pops' invisibility
cloak and the Marauders' map. But if all went well, I could see him tonight, and when
ever I wanted to. I slipped down the corridors, and into the office of McGonagal. Taking
out the map, I saw that the password had been changed to "Minnie Mouse". How cute
McGonagal was called Minnie by her friends and Hermione. Cute. "Aloharamora" I
whispered. And I was in. I crawled over to her filing cabinet and opened a draw. There
it was. I slipped the fine chain around my neck, and started to turn the tiny hourglass.
1,2,3,4,5..... "Mama, Papa, here I come" I whispered and the Time turned forced me
back to my past.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I landed with a heart stopping thud. My ankle collapsed and I fell to the dank
earth below me. I suppose the farther back in time you go, the harder it must be. Trying
to get up, I concluded my ankle must be broken. Dam, just what I need. Behind me I
heard the cracking of branches and leaves on the cool earth. I was to afraid to turn
around. This was a time of Voldemort and fear, and I was prime meat.
"James sweetie" the voice said. It was calm and soothing, like a flowing river "You
really should come in dear, let me help"
She spun me around to see my face, and I saw my eyes, my mother's eyes, blink
back at me for the first time in first time in 15 years.
"Oh my god! Your not, what have you done with, Help!"
"Shhhhhhhhhh!" I hissed "Mum, it's me, Harry, I used a time turner"
Throwing all rules to the side, I took the time turner out from under my robes and
showed it to her. As proof, I pulled out the Marauders map, then my dad's invisibility
cloak. Recognizing these, she embraced me, and helped me to my feet.
"There now Harry" she said tapping my ankle "doesn't that feel better?"
"Thank you mum" I said, bending down to pick up my Firebird from the ground
"Just like you father, to get him of his broom is to wish death upon yourself. Best seeker
England ever had thought, so who am I to argue. Cant play much this past year..." Her
face, which had showed so much love, suddenly went green "But enough with that, to
happier notes. So Harry" she said eyeing me suspiciously walking me to a blank patch of
earth" you have to be what, 15, 16? Why did you come"
She took out her wand and tapped a bare patch of earth, and suddenly we were in
a cozy cottage. Is was so comfy looking inside, but well furnished. They had to have
quite a bit of money.
"Dear, I said, why did you come back to this night?"
Then I concluded. She didn't know she was going to die in a few hours time.
Who was I to tell her?
"umm, where's dad?" was all I could say. how do you tell your mother she's dead?
"In the Kitchen, come , I'll show you. You can tell us there"
Us. Me, my dad and my mum. not being refereed to in the past tense. I loved it.
It was beautiful. I wanted to savior those words forever. I had wanted this for so long.
Longer then memory allows. But could I handle it? The question raced through my
mind, and answered itself. Sitting at a fine Walnut wooden table in a cute little country
kitchen was a spitting image of me, with blue eyes. James Potter, My father..... He did
look like me. I couldn't take it. Loosing all pride I ran to him, and flung my arms around
him. I loved him.
"Um, yeah, nobody told me I had a twin" he joked, but gave a stern look to Lily, who
explained who I was. "So, you'll always look like me ahy? But your moms eyes stare
back at me. So, why did you come?" we even had the same voice, only his was more
mature sounding, more refined.
I stood there in MY kitchen, and all I could do is stare. Then I begun my tale
"Well, I'm 15 now, and am in Gryffindor at Hogwarts" I saw James nudge Lily and
mutter something like "that's my boy". "I became seeker in my first year at Hogwarts
and am now Quiddatch captain. We won the cup in my third year. We look like we
could do it again this year. My 2 and fourth year there was no Quiddatch due to, um,
stuff." I couldn't tell them yet, they looked to peaceful "I got a great girlfriends, and were
both prefects. As for seeing you in the future, your not, well its hard to, your, not there"
"Harry dear" my mum said "you mean were dead?"
I looked at my feet as the tears began to fall down my face.
"Yeah mum, dad. Peter Petegrove was the spy. Lupin was innocent. Sirius, well I found
out about the switch, the imprison him in Azkaban for 13 years and he breaks out, I
cleared his name, I live with him now, the Dursleys' took care of me till I was 15. But
it's not the same. Even with Lupin and Sirius teaching Dada, even with the cloak and the
map, I needed to see you."
They came over and hugged me, I broke down. It was too much
"When do we um, pass on son?" my father asked.
"Tonight, midnight." I was so hard to tell them, I had to grit my teeth.
"Lily" James said "Your brother, Sevirous, he would come would he, he would help,
wouldn't he?"
"WAIT! SNAPE IS YOUR BROTHER? HE'S MY UNCLE?!?!?!?!?" This was too
much!
This had to be fake.
"Nobody told you we were siblings dear?"
"NO! he hates me! The felling is mutual! His lives work is to distort my happiness!
Probably pissed I lived and you didn't."
"Oh no, he hated me. " cracked my father "And everything to do with me, his hates was
more than his love for Lily, he never even came to see you"
"Then they never told you who my father is did they?" asked my Father
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My knees turned to Jell-O. part of me wanted to know, the other part of me hadn't sunk
in that I was with my parents and Snape was my mom's brother. But I had to know, It
was 11:45, and Voldemort was know to kill at midnight. I started at him. I had never
even thought of my grandparents, sure I had seen them in the Mirror of Erised in my first
year, but I always thought of Mum and Dad, no Grammy and Grampy.
"No, dad, they, they didn't" since when had I begun to stutter?
"James dear, maybe there's a reason he wasn't told?"
"Such as Lily?"
"Well, if Dumbeldor is still alive and headmaster, then he would surly know a
reason not to tell him?"
"Hummmm" hummed my father "yes, yes he probably would. I can think of a
few."
"Mum! Dad!" I was getting restless "you die in like, 15 minutes, lets get out"
they looked at each-other for a moment and shook there heads. And I understood. I
couldn't change the past. They were dead. That was that.
"Son," said my dad "you should leave, I Don't want you watching.
But I didn't. I said my good-byes and rented myself away from my mother. Pretending
to turn the time turner, I threw on the invisibility cloak. I would watch this, I had to.
It all happened so fast, my father keeling over while fighting Voldemort. Voldemort
turned on my mother and shoot Adarva Kadarva at her. Then the unexpected happened.
My father came in. I thought he was dead, but he was very much alive. In the battle that
followed, I can only remember them saying one thing.
My dad looked up at Voldemort as he was about to kill him. Without a fear in his voice
he said something so calmly for someone about to die.
"You know you have lost Tom. Godric Gryffindor defeated Slaizar Slitherian
before, and this will happen again tonight." He looked right at me, as if he knew I was
there. And then he was gone.
I couldn't take it. I reached into my robes and pulled out the Timeturner. Turning it
forward, I was blasted beck to the 21 century.
I landed with a thud. Before I regained my composure, I was off to Dumbeldor's office
on my Firebird. I would get how many dentitions for flying in school, and probably
suspended for unauthorized use of a Timeturner, but I didn't care. I had to find out what
my father's dying words meant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I knew that I would get throw out of school for all I was
doing and was about to do. But Dumbeldor had thrown me over
the edge. He had know something for all these years and
never even hinted to me.
"Gryffendor beat Slitherian". It kept running throw my head.
I thought I knew what that meant. Voldemort was the heir of
Slitherian but that would make me, nah, my mum was a
mudblood and my father said if I knew who his FATHER was,
that would mean his sir name would be Potter, like my dad,
like me. But what if...
I was flying so fast I went past Dumbeldor's doorway and had
to fly back. And who do you think was standing in the
doorway? Yup. Draco Malfoy. I didn't even let him bombard
me with insults. I flew right into him and knocked him over.
Up the staircase I flew, and into the office of the
headmaster. My grip on my broom was so tight, I almost
cracked it in half. And there he was, sitting very calmly
behind his desk, as if he knew I would be coming all along.
How could he look so calm?
"Well Harry, is there a reason for this overwhelming amount
of rule-braking?"
"Professor..." I was shaking with rage, rage locked up by
years of not knowing who I was. And now was the time for the
truth to be told. "You know something Headmaster. Please tell
me, or I will have to find it out myself." I knew there was no
further explanation needed. Dumbeldor knew what I had done, no
use explaining.
"Really! You create the greatest amount of rule breaking
this school has ever seen and want the truth? The truth?!? You
can't handle the truth Potter!"
That wasn't Dumbeldor. It seemed that I hadn't noticed Snape
standing by the door in my rush, and I had slammed the doorknob
into his stomach. He looked pretty winded, and hopping mad.
"Severious" Dumbeldor asked cool as a cucumber " I ask of
you to continue said mission, I will ask of you no more this month.
Return with Professor Lupin and one Sirius Black two days before
the next full moon." It was common knowledge that the three
had left there lives behind to go help bring way to the Light, but
it was unheard of to ask anyone what the details were. Only
Dumbeldor knew, Not Fudge, Not even the new potions master
Tokosh knew.
"Fine, if the Lord spares" and with a swish of his cloak he
was gone, still clutching his stomach.
"Now, Harry, I will clear this up with the ministry and will
make clear the details with you, if you answer my questions."
I thought about this for a good few seconds. Dumbeldor was
known to ask the unusual, but anything to know what all this
meant. I looked in to those clear blue eyes, and couldn't help but
to say yes.
"Anything to know professor"
"Good, begin now"
"Well my father said something to Voldemort, something
like 'Slitherian won before, and he will win again tonight'. What
does that mean? Am I Gryffendor? I thought my mother was a
mudblood, how could she have Gryffendor as a surname?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alas, the first question you ask is the hardest for me to answer. You have a way
with
that, Harry. I hoped you would never find this out, not until after the true fall of the dark
lord, but yes. You shall know. Your mother was a muggel born. And it is not she that
the blood of the Gryffendors run threw. It is your fathers side. Your fathers father to be
exact. He no doubt asked you if you knew who his father was. You grandfather, your
father, you, are all descendents of Godric Gryffendor himself. 26th generation to be
exact. That is why you are hunted by so many of the dark lord's followers."
"But my name, Potter? How can it be if I am Potter?"
"As the dark lord began to rise, it was thought safest to change your families
name.
therefor your true name is Harry Gryffendor, but this is undisclosed information. Now
there are only a few living souls who know this, you, me and more likely than not,
Professor Lupin and Sirius Black."
My head was spinning madly. I was Gryffendor. The heir of a Hogwarts house. Now it
made sense. Voldemort was threatened by me, just as Slitherian was threatened by
Gryffendor 26 Generations ago.
"Thank you headmaster. I don't know what else to ask, except forgiveness"
"Yes, you are forgiven, with three weeks detention with Hagrid of course. Now
for your
end of the deal."
Unbeknownst to the duo inside, a rat sat perched outside the office door, a rat, with three
legs. It smirked and disappeared before noticed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A rat hobbled down a corridor and fell into a chamber with a small plop. It was in a
dark, dingy tunnel with water dripping in the distance. Stone pillars reached towards the
ceiling and there was a enormous stone figure at the front of the chamber. Sitting in
between the two enormous bare feet of the statue, sat a man. Wearing the most
hideous face ever. He held a ruby encrusted goblet in one long clawed hand. Seeing the
rat, he gave out a horrid, cold high laugh and threw the goblet aside, it rolled into people,
people chained to the walls of the very chamber. People that worked in the very building
there were prisoners of.
"You'll never get away wit this Tom!" shouted one of the prisoners struggling against
there bindings
"Cruico!" yelled the dark lord, and McGonagal twitched madly and fell quite
"You bring news Wormtail?" said the hideous man now walking towards the rat
"Yes master!" it said turning back into a small balding man "Dumbedor has no idea that
we hide under his own two feet! and Potter knows of Griffendor blood master!"
"Potter knows? Small matter, just another reason for him to hate me, and the wise old
fool knows nothing? Dumbeldor" his voice was rising with horrid satisfaction "the one
the light had said could bring me down? Dumbeldor?" he was now absolutely screaming
"knows not I hide in his own school Dumbeldor" he was now bellowing, making the
servants and Wormtail shiver "knows not I hide in the chamber of secrets? What a fool!
I have given him clues! Did he not see snake slither in the halls of his school to the
entrance? Ha! I am strong and quicker than there last resort! I shall win!"
Snape shot out such a venomous statement, Voldemort walked right up to his face, And
shot Adarva Kadarva threw his heart.
*back to Dumberdors office*
" Owwwwwww!" screamed harry. the pain in his scar was so powerful, it brought him
to his knees "headmaster! He's close, Voldemort" huff huff "He's near"
"Indeed? well, we see to finding him. Accio Map!"
And with that, the maunders map came to Dumbeldor. And he saw, what could be the
end of the light.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SEGUE:
A scream pierced the Christmas night air. Dumbeldor and me heard it, even on the 5
floor.
"Come Harry, the time is near" and so without hesitation, Dumbeldor had thrown floo
powder into the fireplace, stepped in, and said "Werewolf Shack!" and in a blur of green
light, he was gone. I followed suit, and hoped beyond hope that he and Dumbeldor were
thinking of the same werewolf.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I landed with a thud on a cold hardwood floor. Looking up, I saw the hems of
Dumbeldors robes, and two people I wanted to see more than anything right now. Lupin
and Sirius. Dumbeldor was showing them the map and Sirius was in the middle of a
rather rude string of curses.
"G** Dame it! That son of a B****! Right in the school for G** da**ing sakes! Ohhh,
that's it! He's going stright to hell! Right now!" Sirius began to stride over to the
fireplace, but Lupin grabbed the back of his cloaks as Dumbeldor helped me up.
"Sirius" said Lupin cautiously "We need some kind of plan, unless you have no value to
your life."
"Remus" said Dumbeldor "It is already planed. As a parseltounge, Harry can allow us
into the chamber. You know I can make myself invisible, and you two" he said reaching
into his cloak "Can use these, I dare say you know how to use a invisibility cloak?" The
pair looked at each other and nodded with a very forced set of smiles.
"Good, now you two are to set free the prisoners and come back here as quickly as
possible. You will not try and help me, do you understand? As soon as you get back, I
will need you, Lupin, to go to the ministry and aleart them of this battel. Sirius you stay
here with Harry"
"What about me headmaster? What should I do after I open
the door?" I piped
"You are to open the chamber and then come back here. This is too dangerous, I can not
let you participate." I nodded slowly, crossing my fingers in my robes. I knew
Dumbeldor meant well, but this was my battel more than anyone else's.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
we crept into hall of the school, a school deserted of all people, errie, even for christmas break. It was spooky to say the least, and knowing the mission ahead, that made it all the worse.
Tiptoeing quickly through the halls, we reached myrtels bathroom and ignoring the out of order sign, pushed our way in. the sink entrence was already moved. Evil was near.
An: heres the deal, i really can't right this story anymore. I'm sorry. I'll get around to it someday, but until then, i can only right short fics. hat's what I'm good at, not this long series. If anybody ants to know how i invisioned it ending, review me and i'll tell you. I'm sorry.
***AN: Yes I'm sorry I had to go and kill Snape, he's one of my fav characters, but it fit the story as a whole to kill him off, read the next part and you'll see.
else you realize are The Fantastic and Talented J.K.Rowlings, I own nothing except the
plot. DAM IT!

That wasn't Dumbeldor. It seemed that I hadn't noticed Snape
standing by the door in my rush, and I had slammed the doorknob
into his stomach. He looked pretty winded, and hopping mad.
"Severious" Dumbeldor asked cool as a cucumber " I ask of
you to continue said mission, I will ask of you no more this month.
Return with Professor Lupin and one Sirius Black two days before
the next full moon." It was common knowledge that the three
had left there lives behind to go help bring way to the Light, but
it was unheard of to ask anyone what the details were. Only
Dumbeldor knew, Not Fudge, Not even the new potions master
Tokosh knew.
"Fine, if the Lord spares" and with a swish of his cloak he
was gone, still clutching his stomach.
"Now, Harry, I will clear this up with the ministry and will
make clear the details with you, if you answer my questions."
I thought about this for a good few seconds. Dumbeldor was
known to ask the unusual, but anything to know what all this
meant. I looked in to those clear blue eyes, and couldn't help but
to say yes.
"Anything to know professor"
"Good, begin now"
"Well my father said something to Voldemort, something
like 'Slitherian won before, and he will win again tonight'. What
does that mean? Am I Gryffendor? I thought my mother was a
mudblood, how could she have Gryffendor as a surname?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alas, the first question you ask is the hardest for me to answer. You have a way
with
that, Harry. I hoped you would never find this out, not until after the true fall of the dark
lord, but yes. You shall know. Your mother was a muggel born. And it is not she that
the blood of the Gryffendors run threw. It is your fathers side. Your fathers father to be
exact. He no doubt asked you if you knew who his father was. You grandfather, your
father, you, are all descendents of Godric Gryffendor himself. 26th generation to be
exact. That is why you are hunted by so many of the dark lord's followers."
"But my name, Potter? How can it be if I am Potter?"
"As the dark lord began to rise, it was thought safest to change your families
name.
therefor your true name is Harry Gryffendor, but this is undisclosed information. Now
there are only a few living souls who know this, you, me and more likely than not,
Professor Lupin and Sirius Black."
My head was spinning madly. I was Gryffendor. The heir of a Hogwarts house. Now it
made sense. Voldemort was threatened by me, just as Slitherian was threatened by
Gryffendor 26 Generations ago.
"Thank you headmaster. I don't know what else to ask, except forgiveness"
"Yes, you are forgiven, with three weeks detention with Hagrid of course. Now
for your
end of the deal."
Unbeknownst to the duo inside, a rat sat perched outside the office door, a rat, with three
legs. It smirked and disappeared before noticed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A rat hobbled down a corridor and fell into a chamber with a small plop. It was in a
dark, dingy tunnel with water dripping in the distance. Stone pillars reached towards the
ceiling and there was a enormous stone figure at the front of the chamber. Sitting in
between the two enormous bare feet of the statue, sat a man. Wearing the most
hideous face ever. He held a ruby encrusted goblet in one long clawed hand. Seeing the
rat, he gave out a horrid, cold high laugh and threw the goblet aside, it rolled into people,
people chained to the walls of the very chamber. People that worked in the very building
there were prisoners of.
"You'll never get away wit this Tom!" shouted one of the prisoners struggling against
there bindings
"Cruico!" yelled the dark lord, and McGonagal twitched madly and fell quite
"You bring news Wormtail?" said the hideous man now walking towards the rat
"Yes master!" it said turning back into a small balding man "Dumbedor has no idea that
we hide under his own two feet! and Potter knows of Griffendor blood master!"
"Potter knows? Small matter, just another reason for him to hate me, and the wise old
fool knows nothing? Dumbeldor" his voice was rising with horrid satisfaction "the one
the light had said could bring me down? Dumbeldor?" he was now absolutely screaming
"knows not I hide in his own school Dumbeldor" he was now bellowing, making the
servants and Wormtail shiver "knows not I hide in the chamber of secrets? What a fool!
I have given him clues! Did he not see snake slither in the halls of his school to the
entrance? Ha! I am strong and quicker than there last resort! I shall win!"
Snape shot out such a venomous statement, Voldemort walked right up to his face, And
shot Adarva Kadarva threw his heart.
*back to Dumberdors office*
" Owwwwwww!" screamed harry. the pain in his scar was so powerful, it brought him
to his knees "headmaster! He's close, Voldemort" huff huff "He's near"
"Indeed? well, we see to finding him. Accio Map!"
And with that, the maunders map came to Dumbeldor. And he saw, what could be the
end of the light.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SEGUE:
A scream pierced the Christmas night air. Dumbeldor and me heard it, even on the 5
floor.
"Come Harry, the time is near" and so without hesitation, Dumbeldor had thrown floo
powder into the fireplace, stepped in, and said "Werewolf Shack!" and in a blur of green
light, he was gone. I followed suit, and hoped beyond hope that he and Dumbeldor were
thinking of the same werewolf.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I landed with a thud on a cold hardwood floor. Looking up, I saw the hems of
Dumbeldors robes, and two people I wanted to see more than anything right now. Lupin
and Sirius. Dumbeldor was showing them the map and Sirius was in the middle of a
rather rude string of curses.
"G** Dame it! That son of a B****! Right in the school for G** da**ing sakes! Ohhh,
that's it! He's going stright to hell! Right now!" Sirius began to stride over to the
fireplace, but Lupin grabbed the back of his cloaks as Dumbeldor helped me up.
"Sirius" said Lupin cautiously "We need some kind of plan, unless you have no value to
your life."
"Remus" said Dumbeldor "It is already planed. As a parseltounge, Harry can allow us
into the chamber. You know I can make myself invisible, and you two" he said reaching
into his cloak "Can use these, I dare say you know how to use a invisibility cloak?" The
pair looked at each other and nodded with a very forced set of smiles.
"Good, now you two are to set free the prisoners and come back here as quickly as
possible. You will not try and help me, do you understand? As soon as you get back, I
will need you, Lupin, to go to the ministry and aleart them of this battel. Sirius you stay
here with Harry"
"What about me headmaster? What should I do after I open
the door?" I piped
"You are to open the chamber and then come back here. This is too dangerous, I can not
let you participate." I nodded slowly, crossing my fingers in my robes. I knew
Dumbeldor meant well, but this was my battel more than anyone else's.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
we crept into hall of the school, a school deserted of all people, errie, even for christmas break. It was spooky to say the least, and knowing the mission ahead, that made it all the worse.
Tiptoeing quickly through the halls, we reached myrtels bathroom and ignoring the out of order sign, pushed our way in. the sink entrence was already moved. Evil was near.
