Chapter 3

The Escape

Four hooded figures stepped into the cell. Those being held captive feared that they had come to torture them or worse.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Dumbledore demanded.

"The ones who are going to get you out of this hell hole," one of the figures calmly stated.

"How do we know we can trust you?" James inquired.

"You don't," the figure said, "but you're going to have to."

"Why do you wear a hood, if you are a friend?" Remus asked.

"You are 20 years in the future, it might endanger the past to even let our identities be revealed," the figure, who appeared to be the leader, said. "Now, do you have your wands?

"No," Dumbledore answered.

"Okay, we'll retrieve for you," the figure stated and beckoned one of the others to come with him, while the other two stayed.

*******

Harry and Ron crept down the long corridor toward the dark meeting room. They opened the door just a crack and were able to see the past Order's wands, lying beside Voldemort's throne.

With a wave of Harry's hand, they disappeared, and Harry and Ron crept slowly away.

*******

Not long after the two figures had left, James suddenly felt his wand in his hand. He looked around and noticed everyone else had mysteriously attained their wands.

Just then the two figures returned. "Does everyone have their wands now?" the leader asked. There was a chorus of "yes".

"Good. Now everybody please follow us and be extra careful. We're going to take you to the Order base."

And so they set off, each wondering just what to expect. Just before they passed through the exit, twenty Death Eaters appeared before them.

"Well, well, what have we here?"

The four figures seemed completely calm. The leader stepped forward, and, to the Order's amazement, stunned all the Death Eaters with a wave of his hand.

"Let's go," he ordered.

*******

Once they were safely outside and under cover they halted. The only thing going through the Order's mind was who in the world are these people. The leader was especially mysterious. Who was he and how powerful was he?

********

At that moment Harry snapped his fingers and transported them all to the Order's base. The past Order looked at him with amazement. How had he managed to transport all of them here all on his own?

Dumbledore was there to meet them. "I see that you were able to successfully get them out of Voldemort's clutches."

"Did you ever doubt us?" Sirius asked.

"Of course not. Now, I think that our visitors from the past should stay overnight here. We shall call an Order meeting in the morning to discuss what should be done," Dumbledore declared.

"That's sounds reasonable. We shall see you in the morning, Albus," Harry stated, and he and Ron disappeared with a pop.

"We also better get back to our posts, though I doubt anything more exciting will happen," Remus said, and he and Sirius left the room.

"Excuse me, sir, but we demand some answers. Who was that, the one who appeared to be the leader? Who is he?" Sirius (past) demanded.

"That is not for you to know at the moment, but you may know soon," Dumbledore said. "Be content with what you know, for it will serve you well. Well, I guess I will escort you to your rooms."

*******

"What has happened?" Ginny demanded.

"The Voldemort from 20 years ago decided to come to the future and bring his enemies with him," Ron stated.

"Be serious, Ron," Hermione said.

"It's the truth," Harry said. "We have an Order meeting tomorrow. We will discuss what to do."

There's chapter 3. I'm sorry it took this long to get up, but I have absolutely no free time most of the time. But it probably doesn't matter since obviously no one reads this. I mean come on, I have one review for the first chapter. PLEASE REVIEW.
