CH10: The Enemy Is Closer Than You Think
Sirius, Harry, and Remus had been in the past for almost two months already and everything was going fine. If you don't count the fact that Albus was spying on them when he thought they didn't noticed.
Oh, they did know. At least Harry did. And he was trying to figure out a way to shake of the old man's observations without outright hexing him.
It was now Halloween - the worst holiday ever invented. And the way Halloweens went for Harry, the course was headed for disaster.
The day started out well enough. Harry had all his third year classes and they went by smoothly enough. But then came Gryffindor and Slytherin 6th years.
Now don't let anything be said against the group of them. The lesson was perfect, they all picked up on the Immolious Hex (spell to make your enemies disoriented) quickly, and there were no points taken. It was right after, that the problems began.
"Remember, your essays on the fundamentals of Immolious Hex used with certain potions is due next class!" Harry called out as the students exited. As he settled down to correct some third year tests, Sirius burst into the room.
"Hiya, Harry!" He practically skipped over to the desk and sat down.
"Hullo, Sirius," Harry answered wearily. "Is there something you wanted?"
"Actually, yes." Sirius turned serious*. "We've been here for a month now and there has been no word from the Dark Lord. What do you think is going on?"
Harry sighed. "I really don't know. We should be getting word soon. Just have to be patient."
"I know, but this silence is unnerving. Anyway, what are we to do about the Albus-situation?"
"What can we do? We can't have him finding out anymore than he already has. We're still not sure how much he knows"
"That's not very comforting, but alright. We should get going." And the two man left the room, unknowing of the group of students they left behind.

"What the hell was that?" Lily exclaimed as soon as they disappeared.
"Whoa, Lils!" said Sirius. "I didn't know you had it in you."
"I'm being serious."
"No, I'm being - "
"Don't even start."
"Lily is right," James said. "There is something distinctly weird going on."
"Do you think they are...." Remus trailed off.
"Death Eaters? I'm almost certain."
"No way," Sirius said firmly. "They can't be."
"I don't know, Padfoot. I mean, they're nice and all, but that was....."
"Suspicious," finished Remus.
"We've got to tell Dumbledore," Lily said.
"Let's go now, the feast is going to star - "
"ALL STUDENTS REPORT TO THE GREAT HALL IMMEDIATELY!" a voice echoed in the halls.
The group exchanged a look.
"This can't be good."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This can't be good," older-Remus said to Sirius and Harry when they arrived in the Hall.
"What's going on?" asked Harry.
"I don't know, Albus hasn't told us anything yet."
"Attention!" The Headmaster stood up and addressed the corrugation. "Everyone remain calm. Although it pains me to inform you of this" He took a deep breath. "The school is under attack.
Harry and James Potter both looked at their respective Remus Lupins and Sirius Blacks, and proclaimed, "Definitely not good."
