Sugar Quills!: Yes it rains and storms and all bad things come to an end (eventually) thanks for the review.

Harry yelped when he realized he was portkeyed and fell to the ground in a heap. His breathing was harsh as he picked up his wand and stood guard. Professor Johnson stood in front of him twiddling his wand, his face blank.
Harry stepped away from him with his wand still pointed but was stopped when Julian Johnson's wand stopped twiddling to point directly at his heart.
"You know Potter if I were someone else, I would think you were scared" The Professor said idly and stared at his wand. Harry stiffened and said emboldened,
"Voldemort will die, not me and you as his servant with him"
The professor looked genuinely confused at this then looked right at Harry and snapped,
"Who said this had anything to do with that old carp?"
Harry surprise was evident on his face and he began to stumble back. Yes Voldemort was dangerous and wanted to kill him, but anyone apart from him had to be even more deadly.
Harry looked around wildly, searching for a way to escape. By the looks of it they had been portkeyed into a dense forest, an abandoned two story house stood in the middle of the clearing with them.
Harry knew he could make a run for it through the tree but he had no idea what was in them.
He didn't really like the sound of his skin and bone being ripped to shreds by some carnivorous dark creature in them. He also knew that Johnson would easily be able to stun him; he was of course a top notch DADA teacher.
"What do you want from me then?" He asked, cursing inwards that his voice wavered a little. His cheek still hurt and he hated the feel of dry blood on skin.
Johnson smiled at him, almost grinning with evil pleasure. He stared right into Harry's eyes and answered with a definite harshness in his voice,
"Sirius Black"

Draco raced up the hallways blindly looking for the hospital wing. He cursed loudly as he missed turns and went up wrong corridors, but his mind was in blind panic.
He couldn't believe it, but he knew not to check. He had been suspicious of Julian Johnson since he had walked in the school but had grown to like him eventually. Although that nagging suspicion popped up every time he was around Draco's best friend Harry.
The moment he had seen the porkey light he knew his best friend had been taken. He wanted to kill the man, get his bare hands on him and strangle the life out of him. Now his main operative was to find his Godfather and Sirius Black.
He finally came to a skidding Holt to the doors and opened them with a boom. The site was pathetic, his godfather sat dejected in a chair by Harry's empty bed.
He looked awful so to speak but Draco was incredibly disappointed that he hadn't been the one to go after Harry.
Hermione and Ron looked like they were comforting Sirius, although Sirius looked strangely weird. Knowing Sirius's character he was the one who would have most likely gone and hit Snape for hitting his godson.
But something in Sirius had changed; he knew he had disappointed his godson by getting into the fight. He remembered in the summer holidays how Harry had been so mature and evidently told them to grow up.
He wished he had heeded those words otherwise Harry wouldn't be hurt. He would have gone to find him but he felt too bad and he just sat slumped in the chair.
Snape sat with his head buried in hands looking totally sad and hopeless. He himself kept repeating in his mind that he had hit a child. His Child, his Harry.
He couldn't force himself to do anything he felt so incredibly awful. He hated himself entirely for it and didn't think Harry would want to ever see him again.
So he sat there until his shoulder was angrily shaken and his godson's voice hissed, "I don't know whether you care or not anymore but I thought you should know my best friend and your surrogate son has just been kidnapped"
"Professor Johnson with a portkey" He spat angrily then stalked away most probably to go kick a wall in the dorms.
Snape was shocked, he sat there dumbly before scrambling to action, and he ran over to Dumbledore who was sitting by the window. He looked fairly upset and at that moment his age definitely showed.
Severus Snape opened his mouth much like Harry had done at his manor and was about to speak when-"I know"
Dumbledore hoarsely interrupted and ignored his past student's maddening gaze.
"How the hell do you know Albus? So help me god if you don't tell me why you aren't trying to find him!" Snape hissed and steeled himself at the aged wizard.
"The wards have dropped and I have failed him Severus, I have failed Harry"
"Old man, snap out of your guilt, you haven't failed him I have. Now why aren't you trying to find him Albus?"
"The order is searching for the location as we speak. You have not completely failed him Severus, but you must grab him before he slips" Dumbledore said sadly before resuming his staring out the window.
Snape closed his eyes for a second and took a waning look at Black.
I have to tell him, he has every right to know. If Harry were Draco and Black knew, I'd kill him if he didn't tell me.
He sighed deeply then walked over to the dejected man and let his hand fall awkwardly on Sirius's shoulder.
"I do believe I owe you an apology" He said very quietly, startling the other man out of his thoughts.
Sirius looked up, his eyes red rimmed and nodded, croaking, "Me too"
He rested his hand still on Sirius's shoulder and said with a hint of despair in his voice, "I thought you should know that H-Harry has been taken"
He let his words take affect on the boy's godfather then continued, "Draco saw him get portkeyed away with Professor Johnson"
Sirius looked up sharply at this then resumed burying his head in his hands.
Snape sighed angrily at this then grabbed the man's wrists in a vice grip and said icily, "If you are thinking of giving up and sitting there sulking then think again. Harry is ours and we needs to find him, now get up!"
Sirius responded sharply and pulled his wrists out of Snape's grip and mumbled, "How about I go look for him without your help" He spat and haughtily got up.
"Don't be foolish Black! We are his guardians and even if we loathe each other we need to work together!"
Sirius looked at Snape darkly then yelled "Fine" Into Snape's face and stormed off.
And so the search began.

"My godfather?" Harry asked in astonishment and discreetly looked out of the corner of his eyes.
"Yess" Professor Johnson hissed a dangerous glint in his hazel eyes.
Harry was inwardly confused but he refused to show it. He stepped back quietly his wand wavering, he had to get out of there!
Although he was also very curious about what Professor Johnson had against his Godfather.
The man noticed his timid slipping backwards and stepped forwards. Moving closer to the young man, he strode right up till he was nose by nose with Harry.
Harry tried to step back; he feared what the man might do. Johnson snaked his hand round Harry's upper arm so tightly Harry knew it would bruise.
"Don't think your going to escape little boy" he quirked smiling evilly then dragged Harry towards the depilated house.
Even if you hit me Severus, please save me.
And Sirius, whatever you have done. God help me I hope it wasn't unforgivable.

"Please everyone, I need your attention" Dumbledore eventually managed over the hubbub of voices emitting from the Order. He stood in front of the Order at the school gates where everyone had apparated in for the emergency.
Everyone stopped talking and turned to the aged headmaster and listened intently.
"To those who do not know, a very powerful portkey was created and used to kidnap Mr Potter out of Hogwarts"
Angry and shocked whispered arose and they silenced with a gesture of Dumbledore's hand.
"I made a mistake on my behalf by choosing an ex student Julian Johnson, he was the one who took Mr Potter"
Silence encumbered the group and people shifted awkwardly.
After much deliberation Dumbledore started again only to be interrupted by rude shuffling and muffled exclamations until Sirius came to stand in front of him. Snape following behind, they had obviously shoved their way through the group.
Sirius looked defiant and announced loudly over everyone, "Snape and I are going to find Harry right now; we aren't going to be waiting around. Anyone who is ready to leave now can join us"
Everyone went silent until Kingsley and Lupin shuffled their way through.
"We'll come" Kingsley said quietly in his deep voice, then without much deliberation the four disapparated off from the front gate.

Harry found he was no match against Julian as he struggled wildly; he attempted often to free his arm from the man's grasp. But to no avail, Julian was extremely strong and only hissed at him to shut up when he tried.
He yelled, his voice echoing the very empty clearing. As they got closer to the abandoned house, his fear heightening as he was dragged even closer to it.
Finally he fell to his knees with Julian's hand still attached and vainly tried to stay on the ground. He dug his fingernails and heels in, but eventually his fingernails were ripped off and he screamed again and again.
He knew if he let that man take him into that house, he was so dead.
"LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" He bellowed and clawed his bloody hands at the man. Julian just grimaced then finally huffed and let the boy go, rubbing at sore spots on his body from the boy.
Harry took this as his opportunity and ran full pelt into the trees. He got a fair way then he thought he would.
He was so blinded by panic and sheer desperation that he thought he saw Severus's face. But that was before he was stunned and Julian forcefully grabbed his chin with his bruising grip and spat, backhanding Harry,
"Try that again and you die"
He let himself be dragged into the wrecked house, thumped up along the stairs and shoved in a corner. Bloody rivets running from his fingers as he watched Julian lock the door and leave.
In desolate dreams that shatter, of hope that is long lost, he huddled in the corner and cried himself to sleep.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Everyone seemed to be following Sirius; he held a certain air about him that made Severus start. The way Black acted was like he knew where to go, but Severus couldn't bring himself to be suspicious. No, not about Harry's godfather.
They had apparated in the middle of no where next to a dense forest, Sirius still lead the way and trudged on through it. From where they were walking the group could make out the top of a two story building. It looks like an old house almost as though it were falling apart badly.
They trudged on for what seemed about ten minutes until a clearing began to open in the trees. They were interrupted by dim shouting.
"LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" The whole party recognised it as Harry's voice and began jog towards it.
Snape managed to catch a glimpse of Harry's hysterical expression as he watched furiously while Julian Johnson hit his….his son.
He attempted to run forth to help him, so did the rest of the party but Johnson had put up a barrier of some sort. They all bounced off and landed in a hopeless heap.
They watched in anger as the man dragged the poor teen into the house and out of sight; Harry was silent the whole time.
Remus turned to Sirius and said, "Please don't tell me that guy manhandling Harry was who I think he was" His eyes wide he stared right at his best friend.
Sirius just nodded.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
When Harry woke up after his exhausted sleep, the first thing he noticed was Julian Johnson leaning against the wall staring at him. He cringed and leaned as far away from the man as he could.
"So you are wondering Potter, what I, kidnapping you could possibly have to do with Sirius Black" He said and smiled at the boy.
Harry looked up and nodded silently, watching warily at Julian's wand.
"Have you heard of Regulus Black?" Julian asked idly and kneeled down beside Harry, his wand casually poking the boy in the shattered cheek bone.
Harry opened his mouth, but his cheek pained him so he just nodded again.
"Your dear godfather's deceased brother, you know he was my best friend" The man uttered softly, he seemed pained for a minute then composed himself.
Harry's eyes screwed in confusion and he listened on. He knew that Julian wasn't going to kill him, yet. Not till his ickle story was told.
"And it's your godfather's fault he's dead!" The man exclaimed then shoved a pensieve right at Harry.
Last thing Harry saw was Julian looking so sad, but angry all the same before he fell into a memory.
"Reggie please don't go, who cares if your slytherin, it doesn't mean you have to be a Deatheater! Please Reggie!" A young man's voice was pleading and a dark headed teen stood in front of him.
The dark teen, who looked almost like Sirius shook his head violently. "Jules, I have to go! Sirius is the disappointment in the family, not me! If I don't go father will kill me!" he protested and started to walk away.
"Reggie you're my only friend, I've heard about this evil guy he'll kill you! Please Reggie!" A young Julian Johnson pleaded again and again, but the young Regulus Black just stepped away and replied hoarsely,
"I'll be at home; father is taking me to him tonight. You can't stop me Jules, I'm sorry"
The memory faded out with the vision of Regulus Black walking away leaving a distraught Julian behind.
The next one came along; it included the large tree by the lake. A teen Sirius Black was leaning casually against it and Julian was marching towards him.
"Sirius, I know your brother is going to be marked tonight. Please stop him; he listens to you when it comes to matters with your father. Persuade him not to go!"
The sixth year Ravenclaw boy pleaded and stopped in front of Sirius.
The young Sirius turned his head idly and answered lazily, "Man Julian, you're a Ravenclaw. Why are you fraternizing with a snake, my brother at that?" He stepped off the tree and looked Julian right in the eyes.
"Because he's my friend, I can talk to him about stuff. Who cares if he's a Slytherin, he's your brother!"
"I know and I do reason with him about some things, but not about this. His mind is set on becoming a Deatheater and hell; he can be one for all I care"
"But Sirius I saw you talking to him the other day-"
"Yea about giving me my Stardust broom back"
"Please Sirius, for me. Go and persuade him not to go, I know him well enough to know he isn't up to being……evil. You know it too"
"So what if I do, I'm not going to talk to him, that's final"
The memory faded again for the second time, leaving a distraught Julian alone again.
A new memory started, this time a journal lay on a desk and Julian sat wide eyed reading it.
Dear Jules,
I'm sending you my journal because it means I'm dead. I remember that afternoon you pleaded me not to get marked. But Jules, you don't know what my family and father are like.
If I had listened to you refused my father, I would be disowned like Sirius. I know it seems Sirius is well off nowadays, he lives at the Potter's and so on. But me, being a Slytherin and not becoming a Deatheater. You just don't understand the implications being a Ravenclaw.
You were my best friend Jules; I want you to know that. I was also scared out of my wits to become a Deatheater. Truthfully I didn't and I wish I had listened to you. I also wished that my big brother had come and persuaded me not to go.
That's all I needed, and to tell you the truth Jules, if Sirius had, I wouldn't have gone. I respect him so much; I just want him to love me. His little brother.
When father kicked him out, I was so upset. I didn't want to be stuck with mother and father, yes I did suck up to them I confess. But pureblood and all I couldn't show my true afflictions.
Jules, I'm sorry if I have caused you grief. Tell Sirius that I love him and he did do the best he could to be my big brother.
Signed
Reggie
The blonde haired boy wiped away a tear and put the journal in his cloak's breast pocket. From that moment on, Julian Johnson loathed Sirius Black for not saving his brother and his best friend.
Harry then suddenly felt himself lurching and came back to find the older Julian staring right at him.
"Your stupid Godfather mose well have killed his own brother! Because of him Reggie is dead!" The man spat and peered down on Harry.
"And you! You as his godson, you deserve to die like Reggie did so Sirius can feel pain like I did!"
Suddenly Harry became very aware of what was going to happen. "NO!" He bellowed and started to scramble away.
Julian anticipated his actions and grasped him tightly pulling him into a crushing hold, "You're not escaping Potter!" He yelled and squeezed Harry so tight he felt he was going to explode and suffocate.
He stuck his wand into Harry's cheek again then started dragging him out of the room and down the stairs.
"Maybe Voldemort isn't so bad after all" Harry heard him hiss into his ear before he passed out from lack of oxygen.
