only own Robert Dumbledore and Maria McGonagall and the plot.




One day 6th year students Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Lavender Brown,
Draco Malfoy, Ginny weasley, Robert Dumbledore, and Maria Mcgonagall were sitting in armchairs by
the Gryffindor common room fire. (A/N Draco was transferred to gryffindor because he had problems
with the other Slytherins. Ginny was skipped up a year.) "Hey Harry" says Ron, "What do you reckon
Professor Dumbledore will do to Snape since we reported him?"

"Hmmm...I don't know probably talk to him or give him a warning." answered Harry Grimacing.

"Hey 'Mione come here baby," Harry called to Hermione. With one swift movement Hermione crossed the
room and got into Harry' lap. They were looking at each other with such passion in their eyes that
it hurt. It looked as though they were going to go into snog mode. Luckily though they didn't.
"Do you wanna go to Hogsmeade this weekend? they are having a special festival going on. So d'ya
wanna come?" asked Harry anxiously.

"Umm...Harry I kinda have this-er-date with my homework and stuff s-," seeing the looking in Harry's
eyes she quickly added "Sure. I can cancel, I'd love to go!"

This gave Draco an idea. "Hey Gin darling wanna go to that festival Harry' talking 'bout?" asked
Draco with puppy dog eyes.

"Hey stop! That's not fair your cheating!" yelled Ginny. "You leave me no choice but to say yes!"

"Good so hey Potter,Granger you two won't be alone...well then again you will since Gin-" he
stopped at the look Ron gave him. "-and I will be dancing." finished Draco. He obviously was going
to say something different but he didn't want to challenge Ron.

"What are you four going to do?" Hermione asked gesturing towards Ron, Lavender, Robert and Maria.

"Well Lav and I are going to go to the Hogsmeade Inn from Friday evening to Sunday evening..so I'll
guess we'll see you guys at the festival." announced Ron looking very happy.

"So what about you two then?" Ginny asked indicating Albus Dumbledore's Grandson Robert Dumbledore
and Minerva McGonagall's Grand-daughter Maria McGonagall.

"Well from the looks of it we are going to stay here and do some extra homework." said Maria looking
very angry.

"Oh quite the contrary my dear Mia," Robert said "We are going to the festival and afterwards we are
going to London for a day and returning Saturday night!"

Maria looked absolutely delighted. She had a dreamy sort of expression on her face...as if all her
dreams were coming true. Spending a night and a day in London with her boyfriend Robert. It was all
just to good to be true. "Well it seems we all have something to do this coming weekend" said
Lavender matter-of-factly.

They all nodded in agreement. Then they heard Professor McGonagall's voice through the magical
intercom telling them all to report to the Great Hall. (A/N-All of them not just those particular
eight.) As all of the students from Gryffindor house were leaving the common room they heard
students like Seamus Finnigan and his girlfriend Parvarti Patil complaining about "interupting"
them.

As soon as all of the students and teachers were in the Great Hall Professor Dumbledore stoop up.
All of the noise died down immediately. "I am sorry to say, but Professor Severus Snape will not
be teaching as your Potion's Master for two weeks. He has been suspended for using the stunning
spell on a student. Those two weeks will go without pay." said Dumbledore looking grave.

The Slytherin table immediately broke out in furious yells at Dumbledore. Dumbledore was looking sad
but determined. He hated being the bearer of bad news. Everyone else in the hall was either too
shocked at the Headmaster' annoucement or cheering happily.

Dumbledore had sent several sparks in the air from his wand to get the people in the hall quiet. The
Slytherins were glaring furiously at Dumbledore now. Others were looking at Dumbledore happily.

"If any of you have a parent who is good at potions please let them know that the job is open for
two weeks and that we need them." said Dumbledore looking around hopefully. He looked hurt.
He quickly sat down and began to think. Professor McGonagall stood up and said in a firm voice
"However this is not why we called you here to the Great Hall," "There has been sightings of the
Dark Lord and his followers somewhere near Hogsmeade just last night. So therefore this weeks
Hogsmeade trip is cancelled until further notice" said McGonagall without any remorse.

"Everyone return to your common rooms immediately. Oh and one more thing curfew is now 9:30 p.m.,
the Forbidden Forest is off limits, oh and yes no one is allowed outside the castle without a
teachers escort. That will be all" McGonagall said with a wave of her hand.

There was a sound of chairs scraping as they were pushed backwards to allow their occupants to
leave them. As the students left Harry saw Minerva sit down to talk to Albus. McGonagall saw the
eight of them and beckoned them over. As they approached the staff table they saw Professors Sprout
and Flitwick get up and leave. Leaving the Great hall empty except for the two Professor's and the
eight of them.(A/N I'm going to call the eight of them "The Charmed Ones". I don't why but it just
keeps popping up in my head.)

"Yes Professor?" Hermione asked sweetly.

"I want all of you to go and see if Severus is packed. If he is escort him to the Front Gates. If he
isn't wait until he is then escort him to the Front Gates anway" said McGonagall.

The Charmed Ones all nodded, then they set off down the dungeon corridor to Snapes office. When
they reached the office door the knoced then entered without waiting for an answer. "'Allo Severus.
We were just sent to fetch you. So hurry up and get your things ready because you have to leave!"
said Lavender coldly.

"Well..if it isn't my least favorite students" said Snape sneering at The Charmed Ones.

"Listen Snape we have no time to argue with the likes of you. Even get your stuff and let us escort
you to the Front Gates or we will FORCE you to get your stuff and then escort you to the Front Gates
without no problem" said Ron also sneering.

Severus Snape gathered his things and put a weightless charm on it all. The he allowed The Charmed
Ones to escosrt him to the Front Gates. But before he left he pointed his wand at Harry and said
"Petrificus Totalus." Harry's body sprung together. he was stiff as a board. Snape ran then
apparated with his things.

"Damn" muttered Ron. he then pointed wand at Harry and said "Finite Incantatem."

"Harry are you okay love?" asked a concerned looking Hermione.

Harry shook his head yes. None of them noticed eyes staring at them from the Forbidden Forest. Then
almost instantly about 10 voices yelled "Stupefy" and a bright red light soared across the grounds
striking The Charmed Ones. Before any of them could react properly they all hit the ground
unconcious.

Professor McGonagall must've felt it because she said "Albus something isn't right. lets go check on
them" Dumbledore nodded. They hurried to the Main Doors and wrenched them open. The sight the met
their eyes was not pleasant. they saw Death Eaters with hunched forms over their shoulders just
stepping outside the front Gates and disapparating to god knows where.

Minerva began to sob. "Oh Albus, what are we going to do?" asked McGonagall "They are our top
students and not to mention our Grandchildren!" The Professors have considered The Charmed Ones
as their Grandchildren sice 5th year.

"Minerva alert the others. Tell them to come to the Great Hall A.S.A.P!" said Dumbledore urgently.

Minerva hurried along the corridors to tell everyone to report to the Great Hall pronto, within 5
minutes the Great Hall was filled with every single occupant except for 9 of them. 8=The Charmed
Ones, and 1=Severus Snape.

"I would like to let you know that 8 of our students were kidnapped by Voldemort today escorting
Professor Snape to the Front Gates" Dumbeldore went on very calm " Those eight students were none
other than Harry, Hermione, Ron, Lavender, Draco, Ginny, Robert, and Maria."

There was an very loud gasp's that went through the Great hall at that moment. "No students are
aloowed outside period! Curfew is now 8:30 p.m. All classes are cancelled until further notice.
If anyone breaks a single rule they will face 2 weeks detention" Dumbledore said firmly. Everyone
left the Great Hall. Dumbledore went to his office saying the password to the gargoyle statue
(summerhome) went to his office and sat down deep in thought.

There was suddenly a tap on his window that broke him from his thoughts. He looked up and saw a
black Eagle Owl. He let it in took the letter and watched it soar off out of his open window.
He opened the letter which read,

Dumbledore,
I have eight of your students. If I'm not much mistaken they are the top students in
Hogwarts. I'm going to make a deal with you. If you surrender Hogwarts to me then you can have your
precious students back. If not they will die. Oh and your not getting Harry back I'm going to kill
him regardless. You will have two days to think about this. Bye!

The Dark Lord Himself,
Lord Voldemort

When Albus finished reading it he balled it up and threw it into the fire. He however didn't notice
a green gas coming from the fire grate. The gas was filling the room. By the time he noticed it was
already to late. All he saw was blackness. He was unconcious before he knew what happened.
