Alive!
Disclaimer: Me no own any characters from Harry Potter nor anything else for that matter.
My story is set sometime after OotP but does not follow anything to do with HPB. Also Harry defeated Voldemort at the end of the whole Ministry of Magic thing, just after Sirius fell through the veil, so yeah, he's dead and not part of this story.
Ok, so I know that this sort of plot line has been done before (numerous times)
but just give me a bit and I will try to make it something new and exciting, this is after all only the prologue.
It was just one of those days Arthur decided. One of those days that made you questions the laws of nature and wonder what went on inside the minds of barmy old men.
Sitting in the waiting room at St Mungos Arthur thought back to when IT happened. He had been sent on one of those 'sort-of missions' by Dumbledore. He was to collect something from the Department of Mysteries. His path took him through the veil room. He was walking quite peacefully past the veil, trying very hard not to think about Sirius, when the sound of drums filled the room. In seconds Arthur had whipped out his wand and spun on the spot searching out possible threats. However there was nothing there, at least nothing he could see. The drum beats continued though and he stayed perfectly still his mind working to figure out where the noise was originating from. Minutes past and slowly the sound centred around the veil, which was pulsing. Arthur watch as the surface of the veil rippled, the smoke like wafers solidifying and turning watery. The ripples grew bigger and bigger and Arthur watched in fascination as something...no two something's grew closer. Their outlines grew darker and they became human shaped.
Arthur thought he really should be sounding an alarm of some kind, the rational part of his brain telling him that this was not normal, the veil should not being doing this. But in all fairness it was just to fascinating to watch. The figures drew ever closer, still only black outlines. That was until they started to push out of the veil. first came the fingers then the hand and a whole arm followed by the figures legs and torso, lastly the persons head appeared from inside the veil. Icy eyes blinked at Arthur. The second figure followed and a mess of black hair shielded this man's eyes from Arthur.
All Arthur could do was gape, his jaw on the floor and his eyes comically wide. His brain repeating the same thing over and over again,
'Sirius Black and James Potter are ALIVE!'
Thank you for reading.
