Notes: Dani233 wrote this chapter. This is set before HBP. This is slightly AU, Harry &co are 16 but Voldemort has discovered that snape is on Dumbledore's side, which explains why he is in the battle.
Prologue
Warning: flames will be burned to keep us warm.
Lord Voldemort and his death eaters were fighting the remaining Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasly in the Department of Mysteries. Harry unlocked a random door and stumbled through. Inside the room there were many strange objects. Not long after Harry had entered the room Ron and Hermione ran in looking for him. Both of them looked extremely relieved. "You're alive!" spluttered Hermione through a mouthful of blood. "What are these?" looking around the room in confusion. "I don't know," said Harry. There were various strange objects dotted around the room. There was an axe, an arrowhead, a sword and more things that looked like junk. "Oh, what's this?" said Hermione perplexed and picked up the arrowhead; she vanished instantly. "Hermione!" shouted Ron staring at the place where Hermione had stood only a few seconds before. Ron ran forward, slipped on a piece of paper, and also vanished. "RON, RON, HERMIONE, WHERE ARE YOU," Harry shouted in dismay. There was no answer. Harry leaned on an axe and he too vanished. Just before he had vanished Snape had come in to see what the noise was. "POTTER!" he shouted, but it was too late. Dumbledore ran into the room still firing spells over his shoulder. "Severus, what's happening?"
"Potter has vanished and, so it seems, have Weasly and Granger," Snape said sounding genuinely, if only slightly, worried. Snape put his hand on a staff that was leaning against the wall and he too vanished. At the same time Dumbledore picked up a silver crown and he was gone. The Order were still fighting the death eaters who were slowly driving the Order towards the room where Harry, Ron, Hermione, Snape and Dumbledore had disappeared. Professor McGonagall and Lucius Malfoy were duelling. They both entered the room continually firing spells at each other. "Stupefy!" cried McGonagall and Malfoy was thrown against a wall and into a pile of leaves. A single leaf fluttered down onto his head and he disappeared. The force of the spell had knocked McGonagall backwards and she stumbled onto an old cloak and, like the others, she instantly vanished. During professor Mcgonagall's duel they knocked over an axe, it fell right in front of the door, as lupin ran into the room and tripped over the axe, and faded away. Soon after Voldemort entered the room. He spotted a glint of gold in the corner of the room and he went over to investigate. The source was a small gold ring lying on the floor. Voldemort could sense great power emanating from it. He thought he could almost hear it calling to him. He quickly pocketed it and, of course, he vanished too. Moments later the rest of his death eaters entered the room searching for their lord. About half of them ran into the pile of leaves that Malfoy had fallen into and they all were gone. The remaining half continued searching. One of them saw a perfectly spherical stone in the corner of the room. It was beautiful. It was calling to him, drawing him nearer. He made a dive for it, as did the rest of the death eaters. They all touched it at the same time and they all disappeared. The Department of Mysteries was silent.

A note from leggy rules: what do you think? Reviews please. :D
Another note from leggy rules: this story will be written two chapters at a time because I write one, then Dani233 writes another, and so on.
