What Ron found made him go weak in the knees. "Harry! Harry!" Ron shook him violently. Harry wasn' t breathing. Or at least his
chest wasn't moving. Ron was torn between panic and confusion. So he did what he did best-"Hermione!" He bellowed at the staircase.
He heard rushing footsteps and next second Hermione was over Harry. "Harry, can you hear me?" Harry didn't move. Hermione pulled out her wand quickly. "Ron- go get Dumbledore.Now!" Ron obeyed and ran at top speed. Hermione continued to search him for signs of
a curse or spell. He appeared dead. Oh come on Hermione! You know what to do. Think....THINK. "GOT IT!" She whispered
to herself. "Lexondron!" Immediately Harry awoke. Hermione gasped. "Harry! Are you okay-" Harry held up a hand to silence her.
"Who was in here? Who did the spell?" He half-shouted. Hermione shook her head."I-dunno!?" He frowned and got up. He ran at top speed to the door. Hermione followed in a rush.

Ron made it out the poirait hole with reassuring glances. Everyone thought he was insane! He hadn't the faintest idea where Dumbledore might be- or even where his office was. So, he ran for the staffroom. He stopped outside. "He won't survive that, Dumbledore. He can't. Nobody could-" McGonagall was saying urgently. "Potter? Who cares. That boy is nothing but trou-"
Snape said angrily. Ron heard the doorknob turn. Dumbledore stepped out looking harrassed. "Dumbledore! Harry- He's dead!
What- Come with me- Harry-" Dumbledore suddenly started stridding. "The tower?" He asked. Ron nodded hurridly. Dumbledore
ran up the corridor and stopped at the Fat Lady. "Password?" She asked. Dumbledore was silent. Instead he touched her finger.
She went into a type trance then opened. Dumbledore walked in and felt a hard thud. Harry was rubbing his head.

Dumbledore ushered everyone to the chairs by the fire.(Snape and McGonagall followed.) Snape went to the window and stood.
McGonagall sat by Hermione and half-hugged her to calm her. Ron stood paralized at a table nearby and Harry and Dumbledore were sitting across from each other. "What happened Hermione?" Dumbledore asked calmly. "I dont know- He went all stiff. Wasn't breathing. I used the spell- Lexondron, and he woke up. He knew everything that had happened, asked who was in here."
Dumbledore nodded. "Harry, tell me what happened." Harry looked into the fire. "I had just come back from a walk. I went upstairs,
to bed. I laid down, and started to black out. I felt like time was going forward and backwards...Like someone was stuck in between times..." Dumbledore looked at Harry concerned. "Did you dream?" Harry forced himself to look at Dumbledore. "I was thinking about the night Cedric died...Then, I relived it. I was there only- I didn't escape. I was trapped too..." Dumbledore looked at Ron.
"Ron, do you remember Harry dissappearing at any time?" Ron thought about this for a moment. "Er, yeah...Yeah. He seemed to move at top speed. I never thought it was time change."
Hermione looked as though she'd discovered something. "Professor! If someone was trapped in time, they could never excape. Unless the person changing time decided to-" McGonagall added,"which means also that the person doing this wants to change the past." Hermione nodded at McGonagall. Dumbledore looked back at Harry. "Why did you ask who had been in the dormitory?" Harry paused. "When I was back at the, the graveyard...When Voldemort touched me...I thought I heard him say "you reap what you sew". But when he let go he was still silent, before he spoke to the death eaters." Dumbledore looked determined back. "Alright. Harry, I want you with me until I can figure this out. Minerva, could I ask you to stay with him in my office until I have returned?" McGonagall nodded and walked with Harry out of the poitrait hole. Dumbledore watched them go, and decided what to do. "Ron...Could you owl your father and tell him to come here as soon as possible?" Ron nodded. He got up and left.
Snape looked pale. "Severus, has your arm burned at all?" Snape looked suspiciously at Hermione then said,"No, sir." Dumbledore nodded. "Will you fetch Remus and Sirius for me?" Snape looked grim. "Where would I find Black?" Dumbledore spoke softly. "In your office, Severus." Snape nodded and left slowly. Dumbledore cast a worried look after Snape, then returned to the only person remaining. "Hermione, could you search the library on all the information about the spell and it's uses? Come to my office when you have something. Password is Cauldron Cakes. Bring Ron if you wish."
Hermione nodded. She turned to leave and bumped her thigh on Harry's chair. The words flew to her. I can't say it.
She thought this suspicious, and decided to research it in the library.
