Karlito popped out of the darkness and ended up outside. Dumbledore wasn't in there, and Ron wasn't either. Karlito walked from the infirmary to the woods. He had figured Harry was the person who summoned the second Patronum, so he made his way to the woods.

He was right. Harry lowered his wand and breathed out. Hermione was behind him, looking amazed. Karlito crept up, figuring it would bad to scare them. He was right. Even though he was silent, Hermione jumped up to the ceiling. "Why? How are you here?" "Nevermind that. What's suppose to go down us this. Listen, Harry, cause I trust that you won't take this badly."

"What is it?" "As a 'gift' for saving Sirius, Dumbledore broke the Time Turner and programmed it to take you back to the past, right before your parents died." Harry shook his head as Hermione gasped. "Should we?" "No." That was Harry. Hermione said that, expecting Harry to be for saving his parents. "Why not?"

Karlito chuckled. "You really are a hero, Harry. Don't you get it Hermione. If we save Harry as a boy, what we happen?" "Um...I give up. What?" "Either he'd find Harry and his parents anyway, or he kills Pettigrew. That's not even bad. Since Sirius wasn't a spy, and didn't kill Harry's parents, he would've gone after the people trying to stop Voldemort himself."

"So you mean to say..." "Yep. Harry's parents' death essentially ended the war. If he were to survive, then Voldemort might have won and been prospering. Imagine the future we'd come back to." "Your...your right. I was stupid." "No, you were being brilliant and overthinking like always. Thanks for it, it saves our lives." Hermione blushed. "Your a brash gentleman, idiot. Let's go save Sirius."

They ran through the woods to the castle tower were Sirius was being kept. Karlito had to slow down, not trying to leave the others. Once they got there, they realized that they had beat Severus and the others. "Let's hide!" "Good idea, Hermione." They ducked behind a broken pillar that has been destroyed. They didn't know how.

Karlito peeked over the pillar as he saw footsteps. "Here they come. What should we do?" "Who is it, exactly?" Before they could even guess, a cold chill lurked over them. "They seem excited. They haven't done the Kiss yet." "Ok. Let's go." They all popped out of the pillar and pointed their wands. "EXPECTO PATRONUM!" was the united spell. Instead of separate Patronums, one, big corporeal one appeared. It had no definite shape, but it was there.

The Dementors immediately dropped Sirius, who looked like a pile of shit. They tried to form a stance, but we're taken off guard by the sudden attack. They instead chose to flee, with the Patronum chasing them off the school grounds. They put their wands down, slightly exhausted from the spell.

Karlito ran up to the sickly man. "Hey, Sirius, are you ok? Can you walk?" "Yes...I can." Karlito admired the man for his courage, even after being along with four Dementors. "Ok, we need to get you off the grounds. Go, Harry and Hermione." "Why?" Harry asked. "I have to check on something. I'm right behind you." Harry and Hermione put Sirius on their shoulders and heaved him away. Karlito turned around, only to see the person he least wanted to see.

"Dumbledore." "Yes, it's me again. And, I know I told you different things, but you can't go to the past with Harry anymore. No one can." "What? Why?" "None of your concern. Now, let me kill you in an innocent fashion, just so that I can extract from you the soul thing that hunts my existence." "What?" Before the boy could think, Dumbledore came at him with extreme speed. Karlito dodged left, but Albus had that covered. "You won't luckily escape. It is over. Diffindo!"

Karlito barely ducked. "Impedimenta!" The spell only worked for a bit. Dumbledore stumbled and kept on going. "Leave us alone, Albus! Disillusionment!" Karlito tried to hide himself, but Albus was too powerful. "Homenum Revelio!" Karlito was exposed again, and he darted. Dumbledore just missed him, indicating that this match was about to end. Karlito needed an exit.

He popped out and summoned all of his power and courage into his left arm, his wand arm. He felt a tingle as his wand was forced to fight against it's brother wand. "Expelliarmus!" "Legilimens!" What? Karlito thought. Why would he try to invade my mind? What kind of phsyco was Albus Dumbledore? The spells hit each other, and struggle for positioned. "You are strong, to be so weak." Karlito tried to push his spell, but it reflected. "Shit!" Karlito ducked and rolled up. Instead of fighting, Karlito darted left and out of sight. He ran towards Harry and Hermione, in their general direction.

"However much you run, I will follow you twice as much." Karlito ignored him and ran towards the dinner hall, where everyone was getting out. Everyone looked at him stupid, but Luna looked like she understood. "Luna, we have to get to-" Karlito was cut of by a boom that exploded the hall. It was Dumbledore. He had a aggression smile in his face, hidden by his twinkling eyes and that gross beard.

"Fuck...Luna, let's..." Before he could stop her, Luna went to Dumbledore and pulled out her wand. "Avis!" A flock of birds surrounded Dumbledore, but he simply waved them into smoke. He didn't fight back, and Karlito wondered why. "Luna, how dare you attack the Headmaster, and defend the man who nearly killed him?" That was Flitwick. "What are you talking about? Karlito would never, ever hurt anyone."

Flitwick grimaced. "I'm sorry to discredit your trust in Karlito, but it is true. A spell was deducted to find the blood of Dumbledore on Karlito's wand." Karlito coughed. "When? When we were in the corridor, Dumbledore tried to kill me. I swear, I'll do any test you try." "It's too late for that." Everyone surrounded the duo, even the students. "Move out of the way, Ms. Lovegood, and you will be freed of all charges." Luna frowned. "No way in hell!" Karlito tried to find a way out, but everyone was slowly closing in.

"Luna, any second now. Grab my neck."

Luna did as he said. "Not anything you do can save you from the inevitable,... Mr. Alexander." Dumbledore said. Karlito really needed that miracle. He thought Harry and Hermione would rap it up and send Sirius away, but maybe they had already traveled. No way, because the time turners were linked. Maybe Dumbledore lied about that, too. Karlito gritted his teeth and thought about something.

WHOOSH!

A flap of wings and a short breath later, Karlito and Luna were on the back of a pegasus. Well, a winged one with scales and phoenix stuff. But that didn't matter. Karlito wondered what would've happened if Harry hadn't came. He looked up, seeing his friend and Hermione on the horse, in front of them was Sirius. "Close timing, people. We could've been

mince meat." Speaking of people, the people down there on the dining hall were so pissed, they tripped over themselves trying to get to the culprits.

Karlito wanted to taunt them, but didn't want to risk karma. She was a bitch, that was for sure.

They flew for a while, chilling on the breezy wind. Everything was so relaxing, you wouldn't have guessed that Karlito and his friends were going to have over a dozen near death experiences in their lifetimes. Karlito bobbed his head along with a mental catchy tune. He almost never let his guard down, but this was so relaxing, he figured he couldn't enjoy it unless he settled down.

They landed and hopped off the horse. Sirius bid an awkward hug and goodbye to Harry, and waved to the other two. They got in a circle, expecting to be sent back to another time. Instead, a cackle emerged to their ears. Ha, ha...oh, man!...HA!

Karlito turned around, noticing Dumbledore walking out of the shadows. Hermione gasped. "How? We flew so far away..." Dumbledore laughed. "And yet, not far enough. No matter far you go, I'll persecute you three times more. And, before you big brain starts making accusations, it isn't a tracker of spell. I am just that good."

Karlito snarled. "Cocky, much?" "Yes." Harry frowned and got angry. "Your an idiot, old man! It's four of us, against an senile old man, and no one else around. We'll defeat you, and reveal the truth!" "Yes, even so, you could kill me, with a thousand strokes of luck. But, what would happen if the Hogwarts personnel found my body, would they stop and discuss the details? No, they would kill you on the spot. You see, by falling into my trap, you also locked away yourselves." "How, exactly?" "Listen. You could only defeat me if you seek to kill. I'll kill you if you don't, and even if you kill me, Ill just get what I want from you before then."

Hermione picked his hand. "What? What do you have?" "I don't know, Mione." "He doesn't know."

"Tell us, then." "...Well...no, I won't. It's not convenient for me." "See, Mione, told you he was a douche." "Right, I'm sorry for doubting you." "What will we do?

"We do what we know. We'll just have to kill him."

Before they could charge, a gutteral scream escaped Luna's lips. She started to morph, and creep until she was a werewolf. Instead of being insane like Remus, she talked like a human. "Karlito, get going. Take them." "What?" "Go! Now." Karlito didn't hesitate. He grabbed Hermione, who was frozen, and yelled at Harry. "Come on! Don't die, Luna."

"I don't plan on it."

They were gone.
