Bending Time (Harry Potter Fan-Fiction)

by AuntiePinki

When Una Langhurst finds a clock and a Diary, the past 30 years are called back and lay on top of the present, visions and shadows of people, who are long since dead, back into the world. The magic isn't strong enough to bring them back fully as is wished. A sacrifice is needed, and James is met with a situation that could get, him, his brother and his father killed.

1. Prologue

Una was running, running faster than she had ever run before. In her hand she held two objects. They'd been wrapped in a blue soft cloth which was slipping over the objects that'd been concealed beneath it

The corridor was long, only slightly lit and deathly silent.

Una could hear her heart beating as she ran, her breath came hard and fast as her feet kept time with her racing heart.

As she rounded the corner a new sound came into range and Una stopped dead in her tracks. Voices were coming from the corridor that she had just run from. Soon they would find what she had taken. She began to run again, faster this time. The voices were becoming fainter, and Una began to calm down.

That's when the Caterwauling Charm came into action. The air became solid around Una and she began to run again. Una was in her fifth year at Hogwarts and did know interesting defensive magic, after all she was a Slytherin. As she put her hand into her pocket to grab her wand, someone grabbed her upper arm, and spun her round. She saw someone who she should not have been able to see.

It had worked, but not fully as the hand was still on her shoulder but there was no sensation and the image was disappearing.

The voices were becoming louder. Una began to run again, her heart lifting from the image she had just seen.

The door came into view at the end of the last corridor and Una ran flat-out. The door seemed to move away from Una as she ran towards it. Her head was spinning and her vision was becoming cloudy and Una was slowing her pace as she ran. The door vanished and Una felt herself falling, then she felt the objects leave her hand and roll away across the floor. Then she blacked out.
