No one ever warned him about the consequences.
No one tried to stop it.
Watching the clock.
Tick.
Tock.
Tick.
Tock.
One year...
Two years...
Three years...
A short period of peace, though much had been lost.
Too much.
He had protected his team from the threat...
But it was not enough.
Would it ever be?

LINEBREAK
Harry Potter had never been more relieved in his life. All he could think about was how he was going back to Hogwarts. He was so absorbed by this fact, that he almost didn't notice the muffled boom that came from upstairs.
"Harry?" Hermione said, "Aren't you going to go see what that was?"
"Huh?" he said as he was pulled out of his thoughts, "Oh yeah, I'll go see. Probably just Kreacher." He paused for moment before saying, "But then again, you never know with this house."
Ron nodded in agreement, "I'll go with you, mate." There was more loud banging from upstairs, "Yeah, I'm definitely going with you."
Harry smiled as his friend followed him up the stairs, and the banging continued.
"Blimey, what is that?" he said, "It's coming from our room."
Harry approached the door cautiously, making sure he was prepared for whatever was in there. Of course, nothing could have prepared him for what was behind the door, but that is a dilemma for the near future.
He stole a glance at Ron, who was looking slightly nervous, "Alright, here goes nothing..." He pushed the door open and was greeted by the sound of yelling, loud enough to rival Sirius's mother.
"WHAT THE F*** IS GOING ON?" A loud, and extremely irritated male voice came from the room.
"Get off me Nubby! Hmmm, are you sure that's not your real name?" Even though Harry couldn't see the owner of the second voice, he could practically hear the smile in the girl's voice.
"WHAT KIND OF A NAME IS THAT? IT'S NOT EVEN A F***ING SIX/SIX NAME!?" Harry looked at Ron, who was obviously just as confused as he was. Harry made gesture that meant 'let's see how this plays out'.
"Well, if you are so particular about culture, then I suppose you could change it to Shouty McNubs."
"F*** NO. NOT EVEN A NOOK-SNIFFING, GRUB-LICKING ASSHOLE WITH HIS OCULAR SPHERES IN HIS PROTEIN CHUTE WHO'S ONLY BREATHED FOR 3 SECONDS WOULD EVEN CONSIDER NAMING THEMSELVES THAT SHIT-ASS EXCUSE FOR A F***ING NAME."
"Ehehehe. Whatever you say Karkles."
"ENOUGH WITH THE F***ING NICKNAMES ALREADY. I'M GOING TO TRY TO OPEN MY F***ING OCULAR SPHERES. LET'S HOPE I DON'T GO F***ING BLIND."
"Eh, it's not near as bright as outside. More like a hive or something like that."
"Fine," the angry voice from before had stopped shouting, "I'm opening them." There was a sharp intake of breath, and then, "Terezi?"
"Mm?" 'Terezi' said, "What is it Karkles?"
"Terezi, you look different." There was cackling from inside the door.
"I was wondering when you would notice!"
"WHAT!?" The shouting was back and as loud as ever, "REALLY!? AND YOU DIDN'T THINK TO TELL ME, ASSWIPE?"
"Oh, calm down Karkat. I swear one of these days you're going to pirouette of the f***ing handle," Harry heard Terezi say, "Anyway, you were too busy yelling to let me tell you."
Harry and Ron heard grumbling from behind the door, "Then stop calling me those stupid-ass nicknames then." For some reason he had eased up on the yelling.
"Never, Nubby! Ehehehehehehe!" There was another fit of loud giggling, and various profanities.
Harry momentarily wondered why no one else had heard the shouting. A question he fully intended to ask later.
"Fine, Karkat."
"Thank you, and wipe that shit-eating grin off your face. What the f*** are you so happy about anyways?"
"The fact that the one thing you're freaking out about is nicknames." There was silence from Karkat or whatever the girl had called him. Harry decided to interrupt their conversation, and nodded at Ron.
"Now," he said softly. The two friends jumped into the room and were greeted by a loud, 'WHAT THE F***?' from Karkat. Harry looked at the two kids in his room that were sitting on the floor, a male positioned across from a girl who was snickering at him from behind her hand. The boy was fairly short, and had black hair even messier than Harry's. He wore a black shirt with a gray Cancer sign on the front. The girl was taller than the boy by quite a bit, Harry could tell even though she was sitting down, and wore reflective red glasses so you couldn't see her eyes. She had messy black shoulder-length hair, and a black shirt with a teal Libra symbol. Her hair was also black.
"Oh, by the way," she paused between laughs, "Did I mention there were some humans outside?"
Karkat began to move across the floor in an attempt to punch her. When he swung, the girl ducked, began to laugh, and brought a white cane with a red dragon's head down on his head. Harry wondered where she got it.
Karkat began to rub the back of his head with his hand while shooting daggers at Terezi, who was laughing and grinning.
She stood up off the floor and turned to the two boys who were quite stunned at the violence just displayed, "So, are you going to introduce yourselves or what?" She took a deep sniff through her nostrils and her face went into an expression of distaste.
"Blar, so dark and dreary. The flavors are all muted," she took another sniff and was by Ron in a flash, with a happy grin, "Oh, but you aren't near as licoricey as the other one," she took a deep breath through her mouth, "Not candy red, but almost. pumpkin and licorice." She sighed contentedly, and moved away from from Ron, who was in a state of shock from having his personal boundaries violated.
"Give it a rest with your weird color fetish, Terezi. They're going to thing we're crazy," Karkat said, still nursing his head.
"What are you doing in my room?" Harry asked suddenly.
Karkat stood up and dusted off his pants, "How would I f***ing know? One moment we're trapped with a couple of f***ass idiots and the next, poof. We look like this in your f***ing hive."
"Are you in league with Voldemort?" Harry asked.
Terezi laughed, "Hahaha, who's Voldemort? Sounds lame." Harry and Ron exchanged glances.
"You go get one of the Order," he told Ron, who nodded and ran out of the room. Terezi frowned.
"Awww. Where'd pumpkin go?" Harry just stared at her, and turned to Karkat.
"What do you mean 'you look like this'?" Karkat opened his mouth and as he started talking, the wind outside picked up and was a howling din that drowned out his answer, and died down just as soon as it had started. Harry was confused. Karkat just looked annoyed. "Never mind." Harry tried to look at Karkat closely, but the room didn't provide enough light. He scowled at Harry.
Terezi was about to say something when Ron and Sirius came into the room. Sirius took one look at the two foreigners and yelled, "Stupefy!" Karkat fell to the floor a look of loathing on his face.
Terezi raised her arms in a gesture of peace and allowed Sirius to take her out of the room, while Karkat was levitated behind Sirius. Harry followed.
He brought the two kids into the kitchen, and with a flick of his wand ropes wrapped around their wrists. Terezi looked at it with confusion, but ended up shrugging.
He pointed his wand at Karkat and said, "Ennervate." When Karkat gained mobility, he began to shout.
"WHAT THE F*** DO YOU THING YOU'RE DOING? REALLY, WHAT DID WE F***ING DO TO CAUSE YOUR ROTTED THINK PAN TO BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO BE F***ING-" The rest of his speech was cut off by Terezi, somehow, managing to hit him with her cane, even though her hands were tied.
"Oh, put a sock in it, Nubby. No one cares. Even you don't care. Really, if this were a memo..." Terezi trailed off on that note.
Karkat opened his mouth again, but was cut off by Mrs. Weasley, who had just come into the room.
"Oh my god Sirius, what are you doing!? They're children!"
"They-," he said loudly, gesturing towards to the kids, "-were in Harry and Ron's room!" He began to shout near the end.
Molly's face paled, "Oh, I'll go get Severus." Sirius turned to look at Karkat, who was trying to gnaw through the rope.
"What are you doing?" He asked, looking at the boy's futile attempts to get to freedom.
He looked mutinous. "Well, because some grub-licker with the science stick decided to tie me up for being in a f***ing room, I thought I would try to chew through the f***ing ropes that bind me. Stupid blunt teeth," he muttered underneath his breath.
Terezi rolled her eyes, or what Harry that was an eye-roll. He couldn't see underneath her red glasses. "Stop being so melodramatic."
He turned to Terezi, directing the same evil glare at her, "I'm going to be as dramatic as I want, thank you very f***ing much."
Another eye-roll. "What next? A tantrum over a f***ing chair?"
"What kind of nook-sniffer would throw a tantrum about a f***ing chair?"
"You." There was a huff, but no further word from Karkat.
Okay so this is a story I've been working on while I work on TLA. I really hope I can finish this story, 'cause I really like the idea and no one's had one like this, so there. I have up to chapter six finished….
If anyone seems out of character, sorry. It's my first time writing with homestuck characters and stuff, so yeah.
Please review!
