Return of the Grim - Chapter 1 - Snape¹s Warning
Sirius and James were riding the Hogwarts express for the very first time.
They were friends since five years old, and now they were on their way to
Hogwarts.
³Hey, James, wanna hear this story about some Riddle Dude?² Sirius
grinned.
James groaned. ³What is this, the 1000th time?²
³I doubt you¹ve gone through it all without falling asleep, but this time
you¹re here to hear it all.²
James suddenly became very interested in his potions book, but Sirius told
the story anyway. ³This kid named Tom M. Riddle was a sad orphan until he
got his revenge at Hogwarts...²
The story had been told to Sirius by his father, a seventh year when Riddle
was a third year. They were the only two to know the truth about him at that
point. No one else cared to listen.
Another boy entered the compartment. ³Hello Sirius, James.²
³Hi, Remus!² said James, who was waiting patiently for him.
³Hey, Riddle, er, Remus, how ya doing?² Sirius chuckled as he slapped Remus
on the back just a little too hard. James and Sirius had been friends with
Remus for half a year.
Later, a boy named Lucius and his friend Peter entered the¹ compartment.
³Pete can¹t find his snake. Do you have it?² said Lucius. ³You better find
it, I can¹t count the curses I know. That¹s more like it. See you later
Pete.²
Lucius left the compartment while the boys searched all their bags. Sirius
finally found it by his beginner¹s potions. ³Th-thanks,² Peter stammered. He
was a poor, stout boy soon to join the three other boys¹ ring of friendship.

Alicia Spinnet was the new Quidditch captain for Gryffindor in Harry¹s fifth
year. Since the weather outside was the worst Harry had ever seen it, the
team was simply reviewing strategies in the common room at night. It was a
bad idea. Katie was the only one paying attention. Angelina was polishing
her new broomstick; Fred and George were making faces at Alicia; Harry had
fallen asleep in an armchair; and Dennis Creevey, the new Keeper, was
reading Quidditch Through the Ages. Alicia was too tired herself to tell
they weren¹t paying attention.
³...and be sure to give other chasers opportunity to hold the quaffle.²
said Alicia. ³That ends today¹s lesson!²
They all retired to their dorms except Harry, who was already asleep.
*Pop*
³Psst! Harry!²
Harry yawned, straightened his glasses, and peered around.
³Over here! The fireplace!²
³Hey, Sirius!²
Sirius¹ head was in the fireplace. Harry walked over.
They talked about school and Quidditch. Sirius told Harry to ignore Snape
if he is being mean. Harry told Sirius that he finally wasn¹t worrying about
some plot in the year so far (yet). Sirius gave him a tiny magical earpiece
called a cellulus.
³During your next Quidditch game, tap your wand to it and say ŒEntrum¹ to
communicate with me for tips,² Sirius grinned.
³Thanks! Feel free to talk to me if me or my friends are the only ones in
the common room.²
Sirius *pop*ed out of the fire. Harry barely had the energy to climb the
steps up to his dorm.
***
The next morning, Sirius woke up because a strange beeping noise was on his
cellulus. He had realized that it would be easier to communicate with Harry
if he could see what was going on in the game. He had the strange feeling
that he was being watched, so he decided to travel to Hogwarts. He told
Lupin he was leaving for Hogwarts with a grin that almost looked evil.
***
Harry and his friends headed down the steps to Potions.
³I talked to Sirius last night.² Harry said as he entered the classroom.
³Snuffles is at Lupin¹s house, he good. We talked about school and
Quidditch, but I didn¹t have many problems.²
Ron sat down next to Harry and Hermione. ³No problems? What about our
History of Magic test tomorrow?² he said.
Harry secretly decided to use the cellulus for that. ³I¹m fine, um, Hermione
how¹s Crookshanks?²
³He¹s ok. I¹ll help you guys study if you want, I spent the whole weekend
doing so.² she replied.
³Miss Granger, Mister Potter, no talking.² Snape snapped. ³two points from
Gryffindor.²
Everyone stared at Snape. If Harry was talking, normally he took off at
least ten points. ³And Potter, see me after class.² said Snape.
³Potter¹s in trouble² teased Malfoy. Snape didn¹t mind. How unfair, thought
Harry.
After class, Harry waited for the class to exit (and waited longer for
Neville to clean up his spilled potion) and went to Snape¹s desk.
³Potter, we need to talk,² said Snape in a different voice that actually
didn¹t chill Harry¹s nerves. ³I didn¹t take many points off so I wouldn¹t
stress you for the upcoming Quidditch game. I also overheard your
conversation with Weasley and Miss Granger. Me and some other ex-dark
wizards like me, we have this organization to protect you from the Dark Lord
and his followers. You know I have been watching out for you in exchange of
Gryffindor points since your first year. When I was in Hogwarts, I got to
know and recognize some who are dark wizards now and who we protect you
from.² He continued on, even after he heard a *pop*. ³One person who we are
protecting you from is your friend,²
³Severus! Urgent!² cried a deep voice from the fireplace.
Harry turned and saw Karkaroff¹s head.
³He¹s coming! To Hogwarts! Get Potter to safety!² yelled Karkaroff.
³Harry, return to your common room immediately!² Snape snapped in his
normal voice.
There was something important in Snape and Karkaroff¹s voices that made
Harry sprint out of the dungeons all the way to the common room. Ron and
Hermione were already there.
Harry had to wait to catch his breath before telling his friends what had
happened in the dungeon. ³Can you believe it? Snape?²
Hermione looked frightened. ³Harry, there¹s someone on their way to
Hogwarts to kill you! Snape¹s trying to protect you!²
³Well that¹s obvious,² said Ron. ³Er, at least he¹s well prepared and
warned.²
The other two stared at him. The silence broke when Professor McGonagall
entered the common room.
Dumbledore was retiring for just this year, so McGonagall was filling in
for him. She didn¹t know that Dumbledore and Harry considered Sirius Black
good. If she was entering the common room, something was important.
³Mr. Potter,² she said, and found him. ³According to strict orders by
Professor Snape, you are not to go down to the Great Hall for dinner
tonight. Therefore, I have brought you a plate of sandwiches. Hermione and
Ron, you may keep him company. I¹m sorry, but you cannot be told the reason
at this moment. 200 points from Gryffindor if you leave. Bon apetit!²
Ron and Hermione goggled at him as McGonagall and most of the other
Gryffindors left the room. ³We¹ll stay,² they said.
***
Snape continued his conversation with Karkaroff after warning McGonagall.
³How did you know he was coming?² said Snape.
³I used a special cellulus to link to his,² said Karkaroff. ³He is heading
to Hogwarts. I don¹t think his plan is to kill Harry at the moment, but he
is planning to send Harry hurtful information trough his cellulus. You don¹t
really need to block him from the doors, just take away his cellulus.²
³It¹s finally time for my revenge on Sirius Black,² said Snape.
