Chapter 4, the package



Harry's stomach twisted but he casually walked out of the great hall until he got into the corridor. As the great hall door closed behind him he bolted through the castle, his cape flapping behind him like Batman's as he ran. He slowed as he neared the door leading to the corridor on the 3rd floor. He pushed open the door and closed it behind him. He looked at the trap door and on top was a small package. He went over to it and bent down onto his knees. He picked the package up and pulled the string off, then pulled open the brown paper and there was a small glass marble. Harry was confused at what the marble was, but nevertheless he picked the marble out of the paper and examined it. There was a loud bang and wind suddenly started to blow. The marble began to glow bright white and the room was filled with blinding light. When the light cut off, there were 2 people standing there, talking. One was tall with long silver hair, a white beard and half moon glasses. The other was nearly 10 feet tall and he had black squinty eyes inside his brushy face.

"Hagrid," The man with silver hair said, "did you get the package from Gringotts?"

"Yes, Dumbledore" Hagrid said. "But I don't think this is right."

"Hagrid, we can save lives, and if we stop him at this point we won't have the dark war!" Dumbledore replied slowly. Hagrid pulled a small package out of his pocket. Dumbledore took the package from Hagrid and fumbled a bit as he opened it. Inside the package was a small golden box. "Ready?" Dumbledore asked.

"No, but I'm as ready as I'll ever be," Hagrid replied.

"Okay then." Dumbledore opened the box and suddenly they were pulled into the box. Harry felt himself whizzing past lights and before he could wonder what was happening, he saw Dumbledore running into a small house. It was Harry's. Harry, of course, followed to see what was going on. Dumbledore burst into Harry's room where his mom and dad were standing over Harry's crib and baby Harry.

"Oh, Dumbledore," Lilly Potter started. Dumbledore ran over to Harry, picked him up, and Hagrid scooped up Lilly and James Potter. They bolted out to the door and down the ally.

"What is going on?" James demanded as he squirmed in Hagrid's arms.

"Get back here!" They were interrupted. They looked back as they were running and saw Voldermort and Draco's father both on brooms chasing them. There was an occasional flash of green light as Voldermort shot a curse down at them, but missed every time.

"This way!" Dumbledore yelled and they cut down an ally. They suddenly stopped: there was a fence blocking their path. They turned back around and saw Voldermort and malfoy lowering themselves to the ground.

"Mmmm," mumbled Voldermort. "A party? Why wasn't I invited?" He said sarcastically.

"It wasn't very nice of you to kidnap the Potters now was it?" Malfoy said.

'We got kidnapped by He-who-should-not-be-named?' Harry thought. Out of the corner of Harry's eye, he suddenly saw Draco Malfoy clinging to the end of his father's broom. No one else seemed to notice this. Dumbledore pulled his wand secretly out of his pocket and started muttering something. 'He's going to put a curse on me!' Harry thought. Harry dove at Dumbledore but passed right through him. Harry knew this was an enchantment of some sort, so he stayed out of the way and watched intently.

"No!" Voldermort screamed and pointed his wand at Harry. Suddenly, Malfoy stumbled off the broom and landed on top of Harry who was on the cement at Hagrid's feet. Voldermort noticed this just as a green light shot out of his wand. He quickly lifted the wand up so the light just tapped Draco's forehead and the rest went straight into Hagrid. Hagrid went flying backwards into the fence and lied there like a lump. Harry was trying to remember what he just saw, he saw Draco fall on top of him, and 2 spells cast at the same time, one from Dumbledore and one from Voldermort. Both went into Draco's forehead, and one created a scar. 'Dumbledore was probably trying to attack me and kidnap my family, while Voldermort was trying to put a counter-curse on me' Harry thought. 'Why was Draco's father there? Who was the man that was just killed?' Millions of questions went through Harry's mind when suddenly he heard laughing coming closer. Everyone looked in the direction of the main road.

"Oh Shit, Muggles!" Voldermort panicked. Mr. Malfoy grabbed Draco, Voldermort and them used a transportable port key and vanished. The 2 muggles suddenly came into view and they looked down the ally at the dead man, Mr. and Mrs. Potter, Harry, and a strangely dressed man. The woman screamed. Harry shielded his eyes as another blinding white light was seen. When the removed his hands from his eyes, he was back in the forbidden corridor and saw Carol Weasly standing there with a confused look on her face. Harry was just as confused as she was.



Author's Note: Okay, I said that this chapter would start explaining things.. Well I lied. In 2 chapters from now I have the explanation planned out (sorta). Yes this makes no sense, and yes it's weird, but it will make sense and it will become good. Yes I know where I'm going with the story, so don't think it's just random stuff. See you in Chapter 5. (also, special thanks to Lauren for editing this)
