I don't own anything to do with the world of Harry Potter or any of the
ideas J.K Rowling came up with. I only lay claim to the characters I
create. Never way I hope you enjoy the story but please bear with me I'm
only just branching out into this area.
Prologue
Bathed in a soft silvery light one could almost over look the moss covered walls and weed infested garden as the moon cast a heavenly glow over the shell of what was once a home full of laughter. Caught in the outside world a drift amongst a sea of thistles and grass a lone figure stood looking up at the night sky above, despite the hood which covered them it did nothing to prevent them from gazing at the stars above. Beginning to feel the breeze which was blowing the one in question pulled their cloak closer around themselves. Lost in thought it took a moment for them to realize they weren't alone as they heard the sound of approaching footsteps.
"I'm glad you came, I was beginning to think you'd changed your mind."
"Unfortunely one must be cautious in these times, otherwise I would have arrived at the time agreed."
Listening to the words that were spoken the cloaked individual could only sigh as they realized the truth of these words; turning around the one hidden in shadow was greeted with the familiar figure of Albus Dumbledore. Nodding in greeting towards the wise wizard they could see that the hardships of the last few months were beginning to tell on their friend.
"There's still time for you to change your mind, no one would blame you if you did."
"I'm grateful for their concern and touched by it, but if there's a chance even a slim one that things can be changed then we have to try. Too many people have died; too many things have gone wrong if we don't do something then the world we fight for will crumble."
Hearing the weariness to his companions voice Albus could only wish their words were false however, despites his hopes he knew them to be true. Over the last few months things had gone terribly wrong, the Order had lost many of its members in the fight against Voldemort; their lost felt by everyone as he and the others mourned their departure.
"There will be no turning back once you do this, the life you had will no longer exist."
"I wouldn't deny that I'm afraid, but something's telling me that this was meant to be. Fate wouldn't have cast us such a hand if it wasn't."
Smiling slightly at his companions words Albus was glad to see that the hardships they'd faced hadn't changed their determination. Realizing nothing he said could change their mind Albus searched his robes for the objects he needed, finding what he was looking for Albus handed over a small vile to his companion.
"Serverus wishes you the best of luck; I have to say I've never seen him so dedicated in making a potion till this one."
"When it comes to potions I would trust no other, I'd trust Severus with my life."
Looking down upon the swirling blue liquid the one in question seemed lost in thought as they watched the changing patterns. Coming out of their thoughts they uncorked the small vile before quickly drinking the icy liquid, no sooner had they drank it did they begin to feel a tingling sensation as the potion took effect.
"It would seem farewells are in order, I wish you good luck in your task and if luck is on our side then this will be the only time we never meet like this."
"I hope it will be. Don't give up hope my old friend; tell the others to keep fighting."
Giving his friend an encouraging nod Albus took a moment to look upon the one before him, having watched them grow from an insecure person to the confident individual before him Albus was proud to have known them. Removing a folded letter and a small golden hourglass Albus could only watch silently as his friend took the two objects from him. Remaining quiet Albus watched as his friend began to turn the small hourglass, finishing the turn Albus watched as the person he knew disappeared.
"Farewell my friend and good luck."
Speaking his final words Albus turned in a swirl of dark cloth before disappearing into the spreading shadows.
To be continued.
