Prologue
Ginny sat quietly in an aluminum chair with fake leather on the seat and back and wondered how anyone endured the discomfort for the thing for any length of time. She sat with her hands in her lap and thought sadly about the events that had happened at the end of the previous school year.
The Tri-wizard Tournament was held at Hogwarts last year. You had to be 17 to enter, so that meant that only 7th year students could enter. That made a lot of the students angry. Many of the students that were underage tried their best to enter, but Dumbledore had thought of that. He put a spell around the Goblet of Fire that would ensure that no one underage was able to enter. Or so he thought. At the champion choosing ceremony only three champions would be chosen. One from each school involved in the tournament. Viktor Krum was the champion for Durmstrang, Fleur Delcour was the champion for Beauxbaton, and Cedric Diggory was the champion for Hogwarts. That should have been the end of it, but it wasn't. A fourth name emerged from the Goblet. Harry Potter had also been chosen for Hogwarts. Chaos erupted across the magical world.
Everyone was sure that Harry had submitted his name himself or he had gotten a 7th year to enter his name for him. Even Ron Weasley, Harry's best friend, had believed that he had entered his own name. But that wasn't the case. Harry had not entered his submitted his name into the Goblet. Harry didn't want to be in the tournament. No one believed him though. The three tasks that the champions had to endure were very dangerous. For the first task, the champions had to retrieve a golden egg from a dragon. Of course, Harry had to get past the most dangerous dragon. The Hungarian Horntail. He did it though. He was magnificent. He summoned his broom and completed the task in record time. He was the fastest to retrieve his egg. That put him in first place. That was quite an accomplishment for him considering that he was the youngest champion in the tournament.
The 2nd task was more difficult. The champions had to retrieve what was taken from them that they would sorely miss. It ended up being a person. Viktor Krum had to retrieve Hermione (because they were kind of dating), Fleur had to retrieve her sister, Cedric had to retrieve Cho Chang (Who he was also dating), and Harry had to retrieve Ron. They had to swim deep down into the black lake. They only had1 hour. Harry used Gillyweed, which gave him gills so he could swim without having to come up for air. Even though Harry was the first to reach the people, he was last to return to the surface. He had taken them too seriously when they said that they only had 1 hour. He assumed that the people down there would die if they were left down there. Because of this, Harry was awarded 2nd place. They put him in a tie with Cedric Diggory for first place.
The final task involved a maze that the champions had to get through to retrieve the Tri-Wizard cup, which was located in the center. Cedric and Harry reached the cup at the same time. Harry had been hurt saving Cedric from an acromantula (a giant spider). Harry had told Cedric to take the cup so that the tournament would finally be over. Cedric wouldn't of course. He was walking away from the kind of fame that Hufflepuff deserved. He told Harry to take it. That he deserved it. Harry tried to talk Cedric into taking the cup, but he wouldn't. Finally Harry said they should take the cup together. It would still be a Hogwarts victory. He agreed. As the touched the cup, they disappeared. Everyone waited for a long time for them to appear. Finally, after what seemed like hours, Cedric appeared, without Harry. He wasn't moving. Dumbledore ran up to him and turned him over. Cedric looked into Dumbledore's eyes and whispered something to him before he passed out. Hagrid rushed him to the hospital wing as Dumbledore spoke in hushed terms to the minister of magic Cornelius Fudge. They ran toward the school with the tri-wizard cup in their hands. Harry had disappeared. The next day it was announced that Voldemort had returned and kidnapped Harry Potter. Dumbledore assured us that they would not stop searching for him. Harry Potter would be returned as soon as possible. It's been 3 months and they have been searching for him ever since with no luck. No one can locate him at all. Ginny cursed Voldemort silently. How could he have done this to Harry? Everyone was starting to think that Harry had been killed. Now most people believed that all that was going to be found was a body.
This hit Ginny hard. The boy that she had loved for years was missing and was presumed dead. Ron hasn't spoken to anyone since Harry disappeared. Hermione stays with her parents a lot. Fred and George have even quit goofing off. They're always so serious. Ginny's parents, Molly and Arthur, had rejoined the Order of the Phoenix and helped any way they could to help find Harry. Even if it was only a body, at least they could give him a proper burial. The people that Harry's disappearance hurt the most though were Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. Remus was always at Grimmauld Place trying to get Sirius out of his depression. Sirius name had finally been cleared. But, instead of happiness, there was nothing but despair. Sirius had been granted custody of Harry right before the 3rd task. Life couldn't have been better, but now this. Ginny only hoped that wherever Harry was, that he was alright and fighting to come back to them.
Sabrina Metcalf had just finished her shift at the hospital and was walking home. She loved to walk home. The weather was so nice that she hayed driving. Plus, the gas prices are so outrageous that it just doesn't pay to drive unless she absolutely has to. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she almost walked right past the person lying on the side of the road. She knelt down and gently turned him over.
"Sir? Are you all right?" she asked quietly. No response. She shook him a little harder this time. "Sir?" Still no response. She pulled out her phone and called 911. "Yes, I have an emergency here. I need an ambulance on the corner of Elm and Butler road. There's a man unconscious on the side of the road."
"An ambulance will be there in a few moments mam. As well as some police. I need you to stay with him until help arrives." Said the operator.
"I will. Thanks." Sabrina said as she reached down and checked his pulse. It was very faint. There was blood all over his head as well as most of his body. He was in very bad shape. As she moved the hair away from his eyes she saw that he was young, Couldn't be any older than 14 or 15 years old. She heard the siren of the ambulance coming in the distance. She looked up for a second before looking down at the young man. She tried again to wake him, but it was no use. He was unconscious. The ambulance pulled up and 2 paramedics jumped out of the vehicle. The paramedics bent down and began to work on the young man. "Has he woken up at all yet?"
"No. I checked his pulse and it was very faint. Can you help him?"
"I don't know. We'll have to get him to the hospital first. He's been through the ringer. It looks like he has 3 broken ribs as well as a broken arm and a broken leg. Looks like a head injury as well." The paramedic said as he and his partner put him on the stretcher. "Are you riding with us?"
"Yes." Said Sabrina as she was getting into the ambulance. She took the young mans hand and began to softly speak to him. "Don't worry young one. We'll get you to the hospital and you'll be good as new in no time." She brushed the fringe off of his face when she noticed that he had a scar shaped like a bolt of lightening on his forehead.
Dumbledore sat in his office going over in his head what Cedric had said to him 3 months ago. " He's back. Voldemort's back. He has Harry sir. He's going to kill him." Dumbledore felt sick. It's been 3 months and they no closer to finding Harry than they had been back then. What did Voldemort do? He didn't kill Harry. If he had, a body would have been found by now. Had Voldemort figured out what the prophecy entailed? Or had Harry escaped before Voldemort could kill him? There were too many questions. School was going to start again in 2 weeks time. It just didn't seem right that the school year would start without Harry. Dumbledore looked up, as there was a knock on his door. "Come in." he said and looked surprised when he saw who had entered his office. Sirius Black walked up to his desk with a determined look on his face. "I can't sit back anymore Albus. I have to help find Harry. Even if what we find is a body, I have to know either way. I can't continue on like this."
"I have an idea Sirius."
"I'm all ears."
"I think we should check the muggle world. It's time we released his picture to the muggle prime minister. Maybe if it's printed in the muggle papers something will turn up."
"I agree Albus. I'll go see the muggle prime minister." With that said Sirius walked out of Dumbledore's office with haste. Dumbledore thought that this would help tremendously. The more people that they have looking for Harry, the better the chances are that he will be found.
Here's the first chapter of my new story. Next chapter will come after I get some reviews!!
