Disclamier: If I owned Harry Potter, Hermione and Draco would be together, Ron would be dead, Harry wouldn't be with Ginny, and Dumbledore wouldn't be gay. So no I do not own Harry Potter and maybe never will! Though I do own the plot. :)

Chapter 2: One Person Can Change Everything

"Trick or Treat" A small girl with a tutu said smiling holding up her bag for some treats

A young woman with jet-black hair and amber eyes, smiled as she looked at the trick-or-treater that where waiting for her to give them some candy. "Why hello there Miss. Ballerina don't you look lovely..." Before she gave the girl some candy and the girl smiled before she twirled and left.

The woman smiled to herself before she closed the door and set the bag of candy in the living room on the coffee table. She sighed rubbed her forehead. She could almost feel the headache that was sure to come. She sat on her sofa and closed her eyes.

Tap. Tap.

She frowned, with her eyes still closed shut, she swore she just heard...

Tap. Tap.

Her eyes flew open as she heard the sound.'What the hell?' She thought as she looked around only to find her empty apartment. She scanned the room again as her mind flitted to one of those horror movies where a girl home alone hears noise only to see...

Tap. TAP.

"Okay, I defiantly heard that." She said as he flew off of the furniture now looking wildly around her apartment. Her eyes landed on the window next to the fire place and could have sworn that she saw a shadow. Slowly, nearing the window she screamed as she saw what it was...

An owl.

There was one thing you had to know about Sybil Brooklyn Potter and it was that owls scared her to death. She just had a near-death experience with one in her childhood...thats all... but thats for another time and story...

"Oh, merlin," She whispered, her face paling as she gazed at the creatures piercing blue eyes and not once had the thought of why was there an owl tapping at her window occurred to her. "Why me?" she whispered as she backed away from the window.

The owl as if knowing she was not going to open the window lifted its right leg in the air. There on its leg was...

"A letter," She stated becoming even more pale. "They've found me."

In an instant, she was up the stairs. They couldn't have found her, she had been so sure to erase her tracks or any evidence where she was heading and now they've finally found her after five years. She reached the top of the stairs and opened the door to the right which was her bedroom door.

She cursed as she saw the owl on the ledge of her open window. How could she be so stupid to leave it open. The owl opened its wing and took flight, heading straight towards Sybil. Sybil screamed and ducked, which resulted in the owl landing the letter on top of her head. The owl landed gracefully on her bed.

She took the letter from on top of her head and stared at it. The only coherent thought in her head was, "This cannot be happening...not now."

After a few seconds, she turned the letter around and opened it carefully as if it was made out of glass. She took the parchment out and began to read:

Sybil,

Or the person we hope to be you. We would have never thought in a million years, we would find you in the states but you were always clever. We are in dire need of your help, Sybil. Something, which we can not say in this letter for fear of interception, has occurred which you would be delighted to hear about.

We request that you fetch Harry at the place we left him. He is not safe there anymore. Please, if not for us but for Harry that you come back.

Good Luck.

OoTP

"Harry..." She muttered as she finished reading the letter and then, without thinking, she went into her closet and took out a thin box and opened it.

She took a hold of her wand and said, "I'm coming, Prongslet," before a crack resounded in the room and she disappeared.

Leaving the owl to blink at where she once stood...

Dumbledore rubbed his eyes wearily as he thought back to all the events that happened tonight as he opened the door to the infirmary...

Everyone was enjoying the Halloween festivities tonight as they ate candy and talked.

Dumbledore was currently talking to McGonagall when suddenly his ring on his right index began to burn slightly, which notified him that there was an intruder that just entered the barriers. He got up suddenly and giving all the teachers looks, he began to swiftly leave the great hall leaving all his students to watch him in confusion.

"There's an intruder," He said simply as they went past the great oak doors and into the cold, night. The professors didn't need any more of an explanation as they all took out there wands. They continued to walk, nearing the Forbidden Forest, just when they spotted a silhouette of a person falling. They all glanced at each other nervously as they quickened there steps and continued on. Dumbledore had a grim look on his face as he neared the body.

They all gasped as they looked at the face of someone who should have been dead for five years from this day but here he was; his hazel eye slowly closing and his chest rising up and down as he took deep breaths. It could only be...

"James Potter?" Dumbledore said, surprise leaking through his voice as he gazed at the man. He watched as the man closed his eyes and lost unconsciousness.

He gazed at 'James' for a little while before he said, "Severus, Minerva, Filius, Pomona gather up your houses and bring them back to their dormitories."

"But..." The professors all objected

"No, buts, go." Dumbledore said sharply

They nodded in defeat and made their way back to the castle.

"Hagrid, kindly bring the intruder to the infirmary"

Not wanting to object but still wary of the man, he nodded and picked the man up and threw him over his shoulder and began to walk.

He sighed and told the rest of the professors to watch for anything suspicious before making his way back to the castle and into his study.

He entered his office and sat down. Thinking of what had just occurred.

After a moment, the fireplace turned green and Arabella Figg's face came into view. Dumbledore got up and knelt next to the fireplace and said, "Hello, Arabella, what brings you here and what is my favorite muggle treat?"

"Dumbledore, you must remove Harry from that place and its lemon drops" Arabella said quickly not even greeting the wizard

"Why, if I may ask" Dumbledore said calmly

"Let's just say, he's not safe there" She replied her eyes pleading that he would remove the boy from that horrible place

"What do you mean not safe?" For he had made sure that Harry was safe in that house until he was seventeen.

"There's no time for questions, Dumbledore, just trust me for once and remove him." She said

"Fine." If Arabella said he was not safe then, surely, he was not safe "You have my word."

"Thank you" She smiled gratefully before he head disappeared and the flames returned to normal.

He sighed as a knock was heard and he automatically said, "Enter" and in rushed in Pomfrey, and McGonagall.

McGonagall wasted no time and said, "I found Sybil. I found her magical signature."

Dumbledore was, for the second time today, surprised. They had been searching for Sybil for five years from today after she had disappeared when her brother, James, and her best friend, Lily, had died and when she was denied custody of her nephew and now, they had finally found her.

"How" Dumbledore asked

"I had just finished sending all the students to bed when I had a sudden urge to try to find her magical signature but instead of searching in Europe, I searched in the states and found her in San Diego, California."

"Thank you, Minerva, if you will, please notify Remus that I would like to see him." Minerva nodded and left.

"Albus, he's awake" Pomfrey said when Minerva had left.

"Thank you, Poppy," Dumbledore said rising from his seat

He exited his office and made his way to the infirmary. The longest journey to infirmary he had ever made...

Sybil took deep gulps of cold night air and opened her eyes.

'Apparition is a bitch' she thought as she calmed her breathing and realized where she was. There standing in front of here was Privet Drive number 4. She looked at it for a while longer before she began to walk towards it. Hoping for the best...
