Disclaimer: umm... I didnt need a disclaimer for chapter 1.. so.. none for this. :) I belive you all know who the characters belong to without being told. :)

A/N: Thanks to all that have reviewed. All will be answered in due time. I plan on writing at least one chapter every couple of days. I apologize for the first cliffhanger, but I passed out soon after posting it. Merry Christmas - MAS 12-25-01


Chapter 2 - A Discovery and a Rescue


Before the Weasleys could asked anything else, Ginny Weasley sat up screaming in pain. She was dreaming that Harry was being tortured by a large boy. This large boy was sticking lit cigarettes into Harry's exposed arm. Everytime he did this, Ginny felt the pain in her hand and woke up screaming.

"What is going on? Why can I feel the pain Harry is being inflicted on in my dreams?", Ginny thought.

Ginny's parents and Professor Dumbledore quickly went to Ginny's room. Ginny had once again passed out from the intense pain she was feeling. Molly was the first to speak.

"Professor, what is this mark on my daughter's hand?"

Professor Dumbledore examined the mark on Ginny's hand.

"It appears to be the same mark that is on Harry Potter's forehead.. I wonder..", Dumbledore mused, "I wonder if history is repeating itself.. yes.. she does look like her.. except for the eyes."

"What are you talking about? What does this have to do with Harry and my daughter?", asked Arthur Weasley.

Dumbledore turned and looked at the Weasleys. "I have only seen this happen to one other couple before.. James and Lily Potter. James had a scar on his hand.. leftover from a childhood accident. Over time.. it was reported to me that Lily developed the same scar on her palm. Looking at Ginny makes me remember how Lily looked when she was that young... infatuated with James Potter.. This can only happen when there is an intense feeling for someone... a deep love that transcends all others. You see, Harry and Ginny are now linked.. physically and mentally. The link is only one way for now, she can only feel what Harry is going through. Which means that Harry must be in serious trouble if she is in that much pain"


The only sound that could be heard was the sobbing of Molly... over the pain of her youngest child.

"Where is Harry.. and what the HELL are you doing to him?", raged Sirius.

"Who the bloody hell are you and what have you done to my door? There is no Harry here.. There never has been, and there sure will never be." yelled a very red faced Vernon Dursley. "Now are you going to turn around and leave or will I have to call the police?"

The moment Vernon Dursley picked up the phone he heard the man shout "EXPELLIARMUS". The phone shot out of Vernon's hand and shattered on the wall behind him.

"Y-y-y-you're one of those freaks.. aren't you?" stammered Vernon.

"You have not answered my question.. WHERE IS HARRY?"

"I TOLD YOU.. THERE IS NO HARRY HERE!"

Sirius Black whistled and a snow white owl flew into the room.

"Show me where Harry is, Hedwig.", Sirius asked the owl.

Hedwig flew towards the basement door and tapped on in. Sirius ran over and kicked down the door.. practically flying to where Dudley was torturing Harry.

"EXPELLIARMUS"

The lit cigarette that Dudley had been holding flew from his hand.. Dudley took one look at Sirius and ran up the stairs passed him. Sirius cast a charm on the chain locking Harry to the bed and picking Harry up. He then carried an unconscious Harry up the stairs and walked out the door. Moments later police showed up with an arrest warrant for all 3 Dursleys for the attempted murder of Harry Potter. Sirius watched from the shadows as the police led the Dursleys out in cuffs.

"Never again, Harry.. Never again..", whispered Sirius as he touched the port-key that would take him and Harry to the Burrow..
