Sucked In- Prologue
It was just before the Hogwarts Express arrived at school that Tom Riddle attacked Hogwarts. He thought that it would be an easy win with everyone off their guard. With the Boy-Who-Lived there early to get away from his abusive relatives, as well the last two of the Marauders and all of the Staff, he had a long hard battle ahead filled with only losses. Aside from Professor Flitwick losing his left foot, which didn't matter too terribly much, since he only used various levitation spells to get around anyway, the three coma patients were the only ones with anything to show a week later besides scars. Of course, almost a month later, on the day of a full moon, everyone was starting to get a little more worried once again.

Frodo walked up to Harry from the dead marsh. Once he looked closer, Harry could see pain showing clearly from his eyes. "Please help me, Harry! The Dark Lord is trying to get.my.precious." Frodo turned into Gollum before attacking Harry. "Yous! You're tryings to gets it, aren't yous?! Filfy theifes! We'll never lets yous have the precious. Never!" Gollum blinked before stepping back and changing into Dobby. "Oh no, Mr. Harry Potter, sir! I didn't hurt you, did I, Mr. Harry Potter, sir?!" Harry tried to say that, no, he was quite alright, thank you, but Dobby changed again. This time it was a small lizard-person. The lizard-person opened it's mouth as if to hiss at Harry, but merely gave him a warning of the dangers ahead. "You'll want to prepare yourself, Harry. The circles of change are coming." And with that, the lizard-person walked away, leaving Harry alone in the Dead Marsh.
(End of Dream)
Hermione was sitting in a chair between Harry and Lupin's beds, reading the Lord of the Rings in high hopes that one of the three patients in the back room they were in might awaken from their comas. While she was mainly reading to awaken Harry, Lupin, and Snape; Malfoy, Ron, Neville, Ginny, and Snuffles were all enjoying the story while doing their homework and sending their own worried glances over at the comatose trio. "So then Sam said."
".circles of change are coming."
"And so then Sam said that the circles of change are coming.Harry! You messed up the story I was reading.to wake up.you! Harry, you're up!" 'Mione looked like she wanted nothing more than to jump up and grab Harry and squeeze the life out of him, but then thought better of it. Instead she jumped up and grabbed Ron who looked purely shocked at this.
"Um.Hey, Ginny? Why don't you go fetch Madame Pomfrey? I'm sure she'd like to know that at least *one* of these lazy prats can be released shortly."
"Sure Ronnikins. I'm on my way." Ginny winked at the two blushing teens before heading towards the door, only to have her and freeze on the door handle. Unfortunately, the rest of her was no longer there.

So how do you like it so far? I've got lots of ideas as to where to take it from here, but I need advice on one thing: should I continue telling what's going on at Hogwarts, or merely focus on the main characters until a *much* later chapter? I'm for one more chapter at Hogwarts, then no more till, like, chapter twenty. But hey, I aim to serve, right? Comment, please! First ten reviewers all get cookies..
