Chapter One: Through the Vortex

It was the beginning of Christmas holidays at Hogwarts; as usual the school had been adorned with decorations everywhere. Many had left to go home, but Harry Potter had stayed behind. This was not unusual considering that he had done this every year. Since it was his final year, Harry was happy to be staying and seeing the decorations one last time.

To his surprise, his best friends, Ron and Hermione, were staying behind as well. He had supposed they wanted to keep him company. They had all grown in the past two years, especially Ron. The three of them walked down the hall chatting happily when Neville Longbottom came running up to them.

"Neville! What's wrong?" Hermione asked as he came to a stop.

"Snape—just—found—missing—ingredients—he—expects—you—three!" he said out of breath.

"Wha—?" Harry muttered.

"I suggest you three hide. He's pretty mad!"

Just then Snape came around the corner, face red with anger, and temples throbbing. Harry, Ron, and Hermione didn't need telling twice. They quickly ran into the nearest classroom and shut the door behind them.

"Why the bloody hell does he suspect us?" asked Ron

"Isn't it obvious Ron? He suspects us because we were the ones who nicked some things last time." Said Harry,

"Yeah, but he never found out it was us I mean why would he go after us based on an assumption?"

"Hermione, what do you have to say about this? Hermione?" Harry turned to look for her. For a split second, he thought that she had been stunned. Hermione had been rooted on the floor frozen staring at a small dot on the wall. The color had drained from her skin and her eyes were bulging. Neither Harry nor Ron could figure out what had happened. A few seconds later Hermione screamed and told each of them to hold on to something that was rooted to the floor, she, herself was holding onto the doorway.

"Why?" Ron asked

"Just do it!" she said, urgency rising in her voice. Ron did as he was told, but Harry thinking this was some kind of joke stayed where he was.

"What's the matter with you 'Mione!" It was as if someone else had decided to answer this for him. In a heartbeat a wide swirling vortex had appeared in the room. Immediately, the vortex began sucking up everything in its path. Harry had fortunately grabbed onto a table, but it was not strong enough. He was going to be sucked into the vortex. Ron, still holding on to the doorway, put out his hand to help Harry.

"Hermione! Get a teacher now!" Ron said.

"But---"

"Just go!" Harry had gotten a hold of Ron's hand, but the vortex was too strong. Harry was being pulled in. "Hold on Harry!"

"I'm trying!" Ron kept his grip firm on Harry's arm, but the vortex only seemed to be getting bigger and stronger. Harry began to slip. Ron had gone pale. It seemed that the Vortex would not close unless it had Harry. Harry slipped completely. He had fallen through the vortex.
