Alright ppl I really, really love all of the reviews, I hate to say it but this is a filler chapter, so don't get depressed if you miss my great caliber of writing ::cough:: there is more to come. This chapter is sad to say boring, useless and totally out of whack with the rest but it does serve its purpose. I promise to get back to the rest, but it may be a day or to thanks-_-
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters, also I didn't steal your plot I think
Black Dragon, Cynical Slytherin, luza, 55, A-man thank you for the newest reviews! They make me happy and tingly inside ::right:: anyway on with the story
Boy-Who-Lived Gone Missing
By Rita Skeeter
Harry Potter was reported missing a week before Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry started after the summer term. We here at the Daily Prophet are sad to say that it has been certified by Albus Dumbledore himself, and that it was not deatheaters that captured him. Without Harry Potter who will stand up to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named for it has been proven that Minister Fudge was covering up some of the events during last year's Tri-Wizard Tournament. We have no current report of whether or not a body has been found but we promise to keep the public informed.
Ron and Hermione both sighed as they finished reading the article. They had clipped it out of the newspaper almost 4 months ago right after Harry's disappearance. Life had been very slow and bleak since he left, most of the school didn't seem to hold a grudge on him after the Third Task, most were to piteous of the possible tortures that Harry was possibly going through right now. Ron and Hermione couldn't help but run over all of the possibilities of them one after another.
Even after Dumbledore had assured them that he was safe although he didn't know exactly where he was, he assured him that he was safe. But what the students didn't know was that Dumbledore himself was beginning to worry since there hadn't been a single sign of Harry since his disappearance.
Even Voldemort seemed to be disturbed, though he would never tell a soul. He was furious that someone might have captured 'that Potter boy' without him knowing, it might also mean that they were more powerful than he, a thought that caused many deatheaters to suffer his anger.
On a rather mild night after everyone was back from their Christmas break, Ron and Hermione were reading a particularly gruesome article about the possibilities of Harry's fate. They both rushed up to Dumbledore's office. Although they had never been completely comforted by his opinions on what had happened to Harry, they needed the reassurance that the old mage offered.
As the two rushed up there, their minds wandered to the article. It had stated that Harry had been…. No they wouldn't think about that they just had to talk to Dumbledore.
When they reached the gargoyle they realized that they didn't know the password. A voice from behind them said 'skittles' and it jumped aside. The holder of the voice ushered them through not answering their questions of who he was and what he was doing there at this time of night. He simply replied "I might ask the same of you two" causing them to blush and mumble an apology.
When they reached the top and were let in Dumbledore didn't look surprised to see Ron and Hermione there, but was rather puzzled by the young man next to them. He was sure he had never seen him before, and he didn't see the need for a hood at this late hour since no one was likely to see him.
"Please sir, remove your hood your among friends if you are fighting for the light" Dumbledore said almost sternly. The man merely shook his head and went to whisper something to the headmaster.
Ron and Hermione watched the old mage's eyes widen slightly and heard his sharp intake of breath. "Ron, Hermione, could you both come back at another time? I have something rather important to discuss with this young man" He said it with such finality that neither teenagers protested. Instead they simply looked at the man who could cause such a rapid change in Dumbledore and left.
The old man turned to the cloaked one and said "Its been far too long Harry, far too long"
" I have to agree with you there Albus, but the reason I came back is because what I set out to finish is complete"
"And what would that be Harry?" Dumbledore asked curiously.
"That Albus is for me to know and you to find out-if I want you to" Albus merely shook his head, he knew this would be a long road toward their goal, if they could figure out what it was first.
A/n: r/r sorry peeps this is a filler chapter but I hope for the next chapter to be a chance for my good sarcasm to shine ::cough:: I hope for less drama and some mild humor/revealing of things that I have left to be juicy secrets for you the readers jk anyway thanks for the reviews I love more ja ne
