Chapter 1

Melody POV

"I'm heading to bed mum!" I called from the top of the stars. "Wake me up at half six tomorrow please. I've got to be in college early"

"Ok sweetie, good night" she shouted back to me.

I sighed. I was really tired I'd been up for at least seventy two hours now, completely over working myself from studying. I was so bloody tired and I dreaded getting up in the morning. I mean even when I was asleep it's not like I slept. My dreams were always plagued with scenes that should have come right out of a Rowling novel. Flashes of Voldemort, death eaters and Harry Potter kept coming back to me and I knew one thing for sure, I should never have read those damned books.

I couldn't get the whole thing out of my head and it's only a story, it wasn't as if any of it was real but it was like the books were being played out in my dreams again and again as of willing me to tell the world that it was real or something. Sighing again I climbed into bed and fell straight asleep. I slept dreamlessly for a little while and so I didn't notice when warmth started to spread all over my body and a green light engulfed me and transported me from my bed.

Sirius POV

I sat in the window of my dormitory sighing to myself. I was really tired and hadn't been sleeping well. My dreams were plagued with a beautiful black haired girl, taking me away from it all, holding my hand and running away with me. She never spoke, she just ran with me smiling the most beautiful, dazzling smile. I sighed again and rubbed my eyes. I had the pick of all the girls in this damn school and all I could do was brood over this dream fantasy. I hadn't told the other marauders about this, James probably wouldn't pay attention

I looked out of the window again and smiled towards the black lake. The Hogwarts grounds were beautiful at night I was almost out of my seat to get the marauders map and James' invisibility cloak to head outside when a flash of green light caught my eye. I panicked green light could only mean one thing in times like this right? The killing curse had been cast on the ground of Hogwarts. I stared intently out of the window trying to see what was going on when a sudden movement caught my eye. There, lying on the grass was the literal girl of my dreams...

Melody POV

I became aware that something was wrong when I became aware of the fact that it was a lot colder and that I was not laying on my comfortable bed, but instead something hard and cold. I shifted myself and slowly my eyes opened. I was shocked to see the sky above me and to feel the dewy grass beneath me. Once my shock wore off a new emotion came out and that emotion was panic. Where the hell was I? Why the hell wasn't I in my bedroom? I drew in ragged breaths and tried to sit up when a shout of "Don't move!" came from somewhere behind me. I turned around shocked and looked at the person who shouted at me. He was a tall boy with wavy black hair that was long the face of the boy had handsome aristocratic features that were charmingly handsome. I was shocked to see that he had, what looked like a long, thin wooden piece of wood pointed at me at me and I startled me again when he shouted "Who the hell are you?"

Sirius POV

I didn't even think about what I was doing. I tore out of the Gryffindor common room as fast as I could and ran full pelt through the castle. I didn't bother to grab the map or James' invisibility cloak. I needed to make sure that she wasn't a part of my imagination and more importantly I needed to know if she was ok! Running out of the front doors of the castle I didn't hesitate in grabbing my wand from my pocket and quickly scanned the area around me. There was no one around that I could see so I ran right up to the girl that was laid on the grass.

She had started to shift now and I sighed in relief when I realised she was alive. As she started to sit up I shouted "Don't move!" and pointed my wand at her. It felt wrong to do so but I hadn't seen her face properly she might not have been who I thought she was, she could be a death eater in disguise for all I knew. She turned around shocked and for the first time (apart from in those wondrous dreams) I got to see her face.

She was completely breath taking; she had pale skin and dark brown eyes that were like the longest tunnel. Her lips were plump and were shaped into a perfect 'oh' of surprise. Her hair was long, black and flowed down to the middle of her back in silky waves. She was like a perfect arc angel. She studied my face critically as if trying to get some recognition of who I was and nearly laughed when her brow furrowed and she looked as though she was really worried. I pointed my wand at her again, feeling blasphemous and said "Who the hell are you?"

Melody POV

I opened my mouth to speak but no words would come out so I looked around me instead of answering him. It was cold here and there was a big black lake with a small island in the middle. I turned again and saw a forest with huge imposing trees which looked like it could hold all kinds of cool wildlife. I saw a small hut next to the forest with the lights turned out so I guessed whoever lived there was asleep. And then I turned back around to where the boy was standing and saw the huge imposing building behind it. It was dark, it was huge and it was magnificent. Wherever I was it was exactly what I thought Hogwarts would look like. I drew in a shocked breath and quickly jumped to my feet registering the fact that I was only wearing pyjama shorts and a t-shirt that was about three times to small.

"Oh crap, I'm dead right? I mean, I know I've been having dreams about Hogwarts for ages but this is something else..."

The boy frowned at me and again I wondered who he was. Those dark grey eyes, that long hair, he reminded me of someone. Maybe he was mentioned in one of the books? I looked at him again, it couldn't be could it? He was way too young and he wouldn't be here? Right?

"Are you..." I stuttered "are you Sirius black?"

Sirius POV

I was completely dumbfounded by what she had just said. She knows who I am, how is that even possible? She looks completely confused as she stares around and takes in her surroundings. I don't know where she's come from but she is defiantly not a student here, that's not possible I would have known. So where has she come from?

"Yeah, my names Sirius Black. What is yours? What are you doing here?"

She sighed. "To be honest Sirius Black, I think I am either dead or in a coma. I have no idea how I got here but this is one crazy dream!" she laughed slightly and then asks the weirdest question. "What year is it? Because you don't look like you just got out of Azka..." she stopped herself there. Was she about to say Azkaban? Why would she say that!

"It's 1977 nearly 88'. You never answer my first question. What is your name?"

"It's Melody Holon, I'm seventeen and I sure as hell am not from this time Sirius Black. I guess you're about 17 too and in your final year here?" she gestured to the castle behind me. How did she know all this if she didn't have a clue how she got her? Her last comment almost about Azkaban was still going around in my head and I shuddered.

"Yes it is. How do you know all of this? You don't even know how you got here."

Her brow furrowed and she was muttering things to herself, I caught words and phrases like "Mental" and "I could change so much" and "I need Dumbledore".

"I can take you to Dumbledore Melody, I'm sure he can figure out what's going on."

With that we walked towards the open castle doors side by side.
