NEW DAY CHAPTER 5 THE LETTER
"I recieved a letter from one of your students. Something about Harry
being in trouble."
"Ahh, let me guess. A girl named Nita?", Severus asked.
"Yes, exactly.", Sirius replied.
"She will be here shortly. I wanted to see her today, so I bewitched one of her quills to be a portkey. She does her homework right now. The portkey will transport her here in,

Boom!
She appeared right in front of us with a weird look on her face. She sees Sirius.
"So, I heard from Sirius here, that you sent him a letter?", Severus asked.
Nita blushed. "Yes......I thought he would want to know about-"
Dumbledore had cut her short. He strodfe through the doorway. "I hope Im not interupting anything! Hello Sirius, great to see you! What may Ia ask is going on??"
"Long story," said Severus. "but to make it short, Sirius, Nita, and I are all worried about Harry's safety."
"Funny you should mention that!! said Dumbledore. "Fudge has asked me to take a select few to Azkaban with me. Apparently someone has been passing information from there to Voldemort."
---------------------
The four of them were whisked with yet another portkey to Azkaban. Cornelius Fudge was waiting for them. "Dumbledore-surely you have others outside. How are you to investigate this situation with a previously convicted criminal, a teacher, and a Student?????"
"A very good student, an advanced teacher, and a clever criminal." said Dumbledore in the other three's defense. The others scowled at Fudge.
"Ok. Apparently people are communicating with the outside. I would like you all to stay here and investigate."
The four of them took their posts in two's watching the cells and strolling thorughout the prison, making sure everything was going all right. They left no corner unexplored, no corridor unlooked.
That night, when Severus and Nita were patrolling aback corridor, they heard Sirius yelp with pain. They faced each other momentarily, one as confused as the other, and dashed towards where the scream came from. They found him on the ground, stabbed in his arm.
"What happened??" asked Nita, looking frightfully pale.
"It was.......him......." he said. "Volde-.........Voldemort......stabbed me...........let the prisoners go...took off...." he was bleeding badly.
Dumbledore was running at them. He had heard Sirius to. Sirius told him, and Dumbledore placed a haling spell on him.
"Nita!" yelled Severus. "Run and see if Voldemort is still around. Hurry! Use any spell you need. I MEAN ANYTHING. Me and Dumnbledore need to help Sirius.
She stood there utterly Bewildered. "GO!" Severus yelled again.
She turned around and ran down the passageway. She saw that all the cells were empty. She made it outside just in time to see Voldemort and his priosoners about to fly away.
"IMPEDDIMENTA!! STUPEFY! PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!" she didnt know any spells to use on him. What could a 14 year old do to one of the greatest wizards in the world? she then again attempted to use another spell which would make them unable to move or leave the island butg no sound came out. She tried again but failed. Voldemort turned towards her. She saw death in his eyes. He opened his mouth and screamed a Curse. There was a blinding red light and she fainted for many hours.
-----------------------------
She woke up laying on a cot in the guards tower at Azkaban. Dumbledore was sitting next to her.
"W-What happened?", She asked.
"Voldemort hit you with a Stupefy curse. After you fiented, he thought he should kill you to finish it off. Lucky I was there at that time. He only got to Avada before I got to you. I used a very difficult spell to get him away. I got the prisoners back into their cells, but he escaped. The only bad thing is, he took captured Severus. your professor tried to kill Voldemort with another killing spell he created. He wanted to protect you, Nita. He risked his life! Voldemort dodged it and took your professor out of fury.", Dumbledore expained.
"Oh my gosh.....why is all this happening? What are we gonna do? How are we gonna get him back? Can YOU do anything? We've gotte-" she tried to get up, but Dumbledore pushed her back down. Theres nothing anyone can do right now. We have to wait until we find where Voldemort is Hiding. Until someone spots him, we are all helpless. All we can dp is wait unfortunately."
"Wheres Sirius? Is he alright?"
"Sirius was teleported back to the castle, and Madam Pomfrey is seeing to him. He told Harry everything last night."
Nita felt a tingling in her head. It was Severus trying to use telepathy to talk to her. He got through.
"Nita, Voldemort captured me. I am in a big black room. I cant see anything. I cant use lumos because a Death Eater will see me. I am in the mountains, near - "
The telepathy stoped.
Nita tried to connect to Severus again by telepathy. It failed.
"Dumbledore! Its the Professor! He said he was in the mountains somewhere...."
"How did you know that?"
"I--He--He showed me how to do telepathy. It was just cut off though."
"I see. Hes showing you some more advanced magic there. He has thaught the rest of the class I expect."
Nita frowned. "No.....just me." she looked at Dumbledore. "It isnt a problem....Is it?"
"Well yes and no...That magic isnt really for someone your age, but considering that it is you I will make an exception. Most kids your age would try to tap into others minds."
Nitawent pale at the thought that someone could read her mind.
"Sometimes, when you are underage, you can hear things other people think, even when you dont mean to. When normal people hear voices in their head, its sometimes arrouses suspicion. Normal people mind you......" continued Dumbledore.
Nita glanced around the room, now curious about when she would be able to tell if someone was reading her thoughts. It made her uncomfortable. What if she thought something that wasnt supposed to be heard? Or Known? She didnt know....
After a few moments of silence passed, Nita closed her eyes. She hought deeply about who she wanted to send the message to. Professor......Professor??
Nita? finally i reached you!! the connection broke off when a death eater walked into the place where i am...
Professor, where are you exactly??
Im in the mountains. About 30 miles West of Azkaban. Tell Dumbledore. Maybe he knows exactly where that is..... Then there was a loud crash, like a banging door. Nita!! Its Voldemort!! I-
He was cut off again.
"Oh Professor Dumbledore!! He is 30 miles....east or west?? West of Azkaban! We must go find them....and......" Her gaze left him and fell to the floor.
"Voldemort...." she said, in a low tone, "he heard him....he came into the place where Prof. Malfoy is being kept. What will he do to him?"
"I dont knoe Nita, I just dont know. Hopeully we can reach him before he does anything."
"I recieved a letter from one of your students. Something about Harry
being in trouble."
