Down in the Department of Mysteries a group of green robed people chatted in front of the Veil of Darkness The words they were chantting were written in blood on the floor. Each one had given of their blood willingly. They had chantted for days and were ready to chant for days on end. It wasn't needed ,a hand came out the Veil and the body soon followed. Sirius Black was once again among the living.
A man with messy black hair put down his hood. The hair in question looked like it hadn't been washed in days but it was the only part of the man that looked real. His pale skin had a ghostly shine and his surreal, colorless eyes stared at Sirius without blinking. Sirius began to wake up but the man's eyes by no means took notice of the movement.
"Who are you, where is Harry, where's Lupin, are they safe…."
The strange man answered him, "Who I am is not important. All I can tell you is all you care for will be saved if you follow me."
"Who are you?"
The man clipped on a human sized collar in a quick practiced motion. What ever fight Sirius might have had against enslavement disappeared in a second. His eyes quickly adopted a colorless, zombie-like dullness.
"Your new master."

The next morning Voldemort called a special meeting for all his Death Eaters. A very confused Snape reported back to Dumbledore that anyone with the green light shining around their person was not to be touched even if Voldemort himself had ordered their death.
" There is only one thing for us do Severus."
" What Headmaster?"
" Have a lemon drop."
" Sir?"
" My lemon drops have a special potion that aid in calm thinking"
" Oh"
Snape slowly took a drop still remembering the taste of a lemon drop from his first year in Hogwarts. His face slowly took on the grimace that he normally reserved for Potter.
Dumbledore's visage only changed to a kindly thoughtful look he usually saved to scare trouble-makers before letting them off the hook with a pat on the back. Much time passed before anyone spoke.
" Headmaster?"
" Yes?"
" Is there any other flavor"
" No"
" Is there a problem Severus?" The headmaster continued.
" None at all Headmaster"

All the while Harry Potter sat up, awake his thoughts raced around in a random frenzy as if there were a grand prize for which drove Harry the craziest. So far the two in the lead were the prophecy and Sirius Black or the man formally known as his godfather. The prophecy making him want to act out and thoughts of Sirius pushing him over the dark edge. So there he lay neither taking part in the one or the other.
Finally a new thought broke through. It time for his usual letter to the Order. Harry walked over to his deck for his drawer filled with prewritten letters.
They each read:
To any who cares
I'm fine
Harry
Of course with a heading like that those letters could end up anywhere but Hedwig had always taken these letters straight to the Order Headquarters. This time however a careless new member forgot to open the wards so the faithful owl couldn't find the Order. Since she never had failed in a delivery, and she wasn't about to start now. Besides the letter was to anyone who cared, right? That shouldn't be to hard to find. The closest source of care was coming from a large manor only just on the out skirts of town.
The man inside looked hungrily at the owl fixing his stare on the letter.
Please tell me about any problems like plot or spelling or grammer
