Thoughts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wormtail looked around the place that he had been port-keyed to. He noticed that it was a muggle town, with only some children with the ability to perform magic. All children were under seven, so there were no worries. Now all he had to do was figure out where he was. 'Just my luck to be dropped in the middle of nowhere without any instructions,' he thought with anger.
As he finished that thought, a small piece of parchment suddenly appeared, with the crimson red ink still wet. Wormtail read the words and smiled.
Wormtail,
This port key should take you near that boy's house. He lives at number four Privet Drive. I want him brought back to the small tree near where you appeared. There you will find a port-key in the shape of a shoe. You have 35 minutes.
Lord Voldemort
Wormtail looked around the small town before deciding that he couldn't wander around in robes. He cast one of the few charms that he could and placed a time-limited transfiguration on his robe. They turned into a black suit. With that out of the way, he next looked for someone to help him. He entered the grocery store he had seen and found out that the house was two miles away. The kind clerk offered to drive him when he saw how tired the man was.
Wormtail stepped out of the car and quickly made his way towards the door. He wondered way the door was opened and found that it was because the Dursleys' were too petrified of something to move. He grinned, knowing that that would make his job much easier. He walked up the stairs and down the hall towards the three regular bedrooms and walked to the room with blood on the door. He opened it, only to stare in shock at a glowing Remus and Sirius.
He than noticed he was glowing, but not the white they were glowing. His color was a dried blood red, almost as if the glow could see into the soul of a person. He felt faint and closed his eyes; not knowing that as he faded someone had grabbed a hold of him.
~~~~~~A Manor house in Valdemar dimension ~~~~~~~
Wormtail looked around the place of where he had appeared, only to stare in shock. He was in an elaborate hall where there were creatures moving around who were not human yet were not animal. Some had superior expressions whilst others had a haunted, hunted look about them. Their posture brought about images of house-elves.
Looking around, he saw a man on a throne-like chair directly behind him. He tilted his head to the side in confusion when the man started to talk, and noticed that the man seemed very angry.
~~~~~Back to England~~~~~
Severus Snape looked around his home office before finding what he was searching for. He picked up his rarely used wand and headed to the den. He walked over to the fireplace and throw in the Floo Powder, calling Arabella Figg's house.
She was Harry's guardian and could be found living by his house, pretending to be a mad old witch. He stumbled out of her fireplace and headed towards the door, knowing that Harry lived down the street a couple of doors. He stared in shock at a man leaving a car in front of the boy's house. He knew that man, it was Wormtail, and that Voldemort must have sent him.
Snape ran towards the house, and entered the house, as the door was ajar. He looked at the muggles who seemed to have pissed their pants and just walked up the stairs. He was down the hallway when he noticed Peter. He hurried after him, and had just grabbed him when they both disappeared.
When he came to, he found himself in a small house in a strange location. The person bent over him was wearing loose-fitted green clothes and carried a green scarf. What seemed to be potions lined the shelves and there were jars of dried ingredients all over. The women spoke, yet Severus had no idea what the gibberish sprouting out of her mouth was.
~~~~In Valdemar~~~~
The twins were shocked. The Deans were going to send them out to one of the Vales, K'Valdemar Vale, to see if they had heard of any strangers or if the Companion had gone past them.
The twins had never really left haven before, and now they suddenly had to be packed with the appropriate articles by dawn tomorrow. They only had 12 candlemarks to get ready, and they were not happy about this.
In fact, they had been about to start protesting vehemently when their companions had told them that they had to stop being so childish and that they were needed. The two companions knew that Daryl and Maryl were just scared, but it was for the best for them to leave Haven.
~~~~The Forest~~~
Harry's thrashing and screaming had jolted Nightsong out of a sound sleep. He seemed to be begging someone named Vernon to stop, but it seemed as if this Vernon refused to. Nightsong watched as the boy suddenly opened his eyes, which contained a tortured pain. He didn't seem to notice his surrounds, and he wouldn't stop shaking. Nightsong went to cradle the boy in his arms, but the boy flinched away as if afraid he was about to be struck.
Nightsong frowned; he didn't know what to do. He was startled when Mareth entered his thoughts. :I'll calm the cub down, please restart the fire,: the kyree brusquely commanded.
Nightsong didn't protest as he made the fire, as he had noticed that the cub was calming down. He had stopped trembling, and the look in his eyes dimmed.
