AN: I have quite a bit already written. Will update weekly if the story gets interest.


The corridors were empty, only the tiny scraps of paper and particles of dust rested on the floor. One could lose their body and mind wandering through the castle at night. A dark shadow was cast across the statues of the fifth floor corridors as a figure moved rapidly towards the west tower. It stopped when it reached a door with no handle. The knocker began to move and asked the figure a question.

"How many months have 28 days?" it asked.

"One" the figured answered gruffly, "No, all months have 28 days" the knocker replied.

"The more that there is, the less that you see. Squint all you wish when surrounded by me." The knocker retorted.

The figure thought for a minute before looking around, "darkness" it whispered as the door swung open.

A student sat up quickly after being awoken abruptly. He looked around at his sleeping bunk mates and tried to figure out what had woken him up.

"Fire" he whispered as he remembered his dream. He often had dreams of fire after his house burned down when he was five. He lay back down and took a deep breath before jumping completely out of bed. He smelled smoke and he knew it wasn't from his dream. He ran to the door and swung it open. Padding down the step he saw his common room ablaze.

"Agumenti!" he screamed trying to douse the nearest flames. The water evaporated before it touched the fire.

He ran back up and pounded on every door that he passed, heading back to his dorm. He shared a room with three other Quidditch players. They each grabbed their brooms and flew out the window carrying their trunks. After clearing their room, one boy ran to the headmaster's office while the other three rounded up all the students with brooms and had them first carry down the other students before returning to carry their belongings.

"Jeff, do not linger, grab those trunks and let's go!" a prefect yelled at the boy who had first found the fire. Jeff obeyed and quickly followed the prefect out the closest window.

All the Ravenclaw students stood next to their belongings and watched as the fire began to engulf their bedrooms.

"I tried Agumenti as soon as I saw it" Jeff explained to Professor Dumbledore as he interrogated all the students who may have seen the cause.

"Fiendfyre" Dumbledore responded, "It is powerfully dark magic, cursed fire" he explained.

"So what happens now?" Jeff's roommate asked as he glanced away from the flaming tower.

"We seal off the west tower and wait for the fire to be choked out" Dumbledore responded.

The headmaster then tapped his throat with his wand. "Can I have everyone gather around please?" he spoke, his voice amplified.

The prefects rounded up the younger kids and had them sit down quietly.

"It seems that you are all out of a place to live and sleep. We will do everything we can to return your common room back to the way it was, but until that time you will need other accommodations. The first and second years, along with the eldest prefects will be relocated to the Hufflepuff common room. Third, fourth and fifth years to Slytherin because they have the most available space and lastly, the sixth and seventh years to the Gryffindor common room."

"The heads of each house will meet you in the entrance hall, your belongings will be delivered to your new rooms. Please try your best to adjust to this change, as I said, we will do everything we can to get you back in your old rooms as soon as we can" Dumbledore finished as the students began to shuffle towards the entrance hall.

Jeff walked with his roommates and the seventh year boys that were also on the Quidditch team. McGonagall greeted them, after Gryffindor she had a soft spot for the Ravenclaws. They never gave her trouble in class and always seemed to be working hard. She was especially pleased that the elder Ravenclaws would move into Gryffindor, maybe they could help the younger students with homework.

"Welcome to Gryffindor house, we welcome you with open arms and hope you enjoy your stay in our humble tower."

Jeff was the first one up the steps, he knocked hesitantly on the door before pushing it open.

"Well hello Goldie, it's good to see you" two red-heads greeted with matching grins. "Hey Fred, George, how're you?" he responded with a soft smile.

"Better than you lot, I can guarantee that" Fred said as he ushered them all into the room.

"Introductions, introductions" George bustled as he leaped onto his bed.

"Alright, well I'm Jeff, sometimes known as Goldie, this is Trent, David and Thad. As you know, they're the Ravenclaw chasers and I am one of the beaters." Jeff said.

"I'm Foerge, he's Gred. That's Beatz and next to him is Nick. And seeing as it's about 4 in the morning, we should probably save any further questions or comments until we've had proper sleep." George finished.

The rest agreed and made their way over to the bed that had their trunk next to it. Jeff smiled at Nick, he recognized him as the stand-in Keeper for the Gryffindor team. He smiled back before rolling over and promptly going back to sleep.
