A/N: A Miracle has happened! I actually updated! Hope you enjoy, and please review, as I'll be giving reviewers feedback next chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling does.
Chapter FiveHarry breathed deeply. He had never had such an intense dream before. He turned to his bedside table and drank from his cup of water. As he finished his last gulp, he heard footsteps coming from down the hall. The door burst open and Sirius, followed by Remus, came in. They rushed over to Harry's side and sat down.
"Harry, I heard you scream. What's wrong?" Sirius asked him.
"Nothing to worry about. Just a nightmare, that's all," Harry replied.
"Harry, you know your dreams come true. Tell us about it," Remus said.
"Alright, fine," Harry said. "I was in the Riddle House, listening to Voldemort's conversation with his Death Eaters. They-they-"
"Harry, are you okay?"
As Harry recalled his dream, he just realized how bad this was going to be. What would they do? When would they come? Worst of all, would the Death Eaters hurt Sirius and Remus?
"We're in trouble," Harry said slowly. "Voldemort's going to attack. They plan on surrounding the house and kidnapping me. I was about to hear when but I woke up too soon."
Sirius and Remus made an audible gasp.
"Shit!" Sirius cursed loudly.
"Sirius, don't do this," Remus advised.
"What the fuck, Remus? You expect me to be happy about this?" Sirius screamed at the top of his lungs. "That fucking bastard won't leave my godson alone! I can't just dance around the house pretending that none of this is happening, Remus!"
"I'm not asking that you be happy, Sirius. I understand this situation as much as you do, but that's no reason to curse and yell. Look, I think you're frightening Harry."
Sirius looked around at Harry, who was sitting with his knees hugged to his chest.
"Harry, I'm sorry. Did I scare you?"
"No, I'm fine," Harry mumbled. "It's just…my uncle used to curse like that when he beat me. I'm fine, really. It's not like I haven't heard curse words before."
An awkward silence followed. All three of them just looked around them into space. Remus decided to break the silence.
"Er…why don't we go downstairs for some hot cocoa?"
"Sure," Sirius and Harry said simultaneously.
They went downstairs together and into the small kitchen. Harry and Sirius sat at the table while Remus busied himself with the hot chocolate.
"Sirius, what are we gonna do?" Harry asked his godfather.
"I'm not sure, Harry. To start with, though, we'll tell Dumbledore in the morning. Don't want to bother him now. After that, though, I don't know what we'll do. Maybe he'll have a suggestion." Sirius said with a sigh.
"But, Sirius, we don't know when he plans to attack! What if it's tomorrow?" Harry asked fearfully.
"I don't know, Harry. I really don't know. If he knows you're here, chances are he'll know if your anywhere else, too, so there's no point of hiding somewhere else. "
"Oh, Sirius, what about the Fidelis Charm (sp?)?"
"I don't know how to cast it, and neither does Remus. We'll ask Dumbledore about it tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay," Harry said. He only hoped it wouldn't be too late by then.
After breakfast, Remus contacted Dumbledore through the fireplace and told him about Harry's dream. Dumbledore altered his previous plans and said he'd make time and come by later. All they had to do was wait.
Harry couldn't help but feel worried, though. He knew now it wouldn't be long before the safety wards were put up, but he couldn't get that sinking feeling out of his stomach.
"What's the matter, Har'?" Sirius asked his godson. "You look tense."
"Nothing," Harry muttered.
"Are you sure? You heard Remus and Dumbledore, we're going to be fine," Sirius reassured.
Harry sighed. "Okay," he said, still unsure.
"SIRIUS!" Remus yelled from the kitchen.
"Uh oh," Harry heard Sirius mutter before heading into the kitchen.
Harry followed his godfather and stood by the kitchen door.
"Sirius, why did you eat all the food?" Remus interrogated Sirius.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Why do you automatically assume it was me?!"
"Oh, come on, I didn't eat it, and neither did Harry."
"How do you know? Harry could have eaten it!"
"Harry is a sweet kid; he would never have done that. I'm not stupid, Sirius."
"I-oh," Sirius started to say, but he knew he couldn't get away with it now. "I was hungry, Moony! You can't blame me!"
"Sirius, there was three cupboards full of food. How could you have eaten all that?" Remus raged.
"I was hungry before Harry's nightmare and I couldn't sleep. I'm a full-grown man, Remus; I get hungry!"
"Three cupboards full! Sirius, you're a pig! I can't believe I didn't notice this before when I mad breakfast."
"Er…Moony? You grabbed the cereal off the table and the milk out of the fridge. You didn't open the cupboards."
Sighing, Remus sat himself down at the kitchen table and put his head in his hands. "We have no food now."
"Sorry," Sirius mumbled shamefully.
Remus rose from the table and grabbed his wallet. "I have to go grocery shopping. I'll be back in an hour. And please, Sirius, don't demolish the place. Harry's in charge."
"Remus, don't you trust me?!"
Remus thought for a moment. "Hmm…no."
And with that, he disapparated.
"Bastard," Sirius muttered.
He walked out into the living room where Harry was sitting watching old Scooby Doo reruns on TV. (A/N: I love Scooby Doo!)
"Did you hear any of that?" Sirius asked him.
Harry looked innocently up at Sirius. "No," he lied.
"You did, didn't you?"
Harry smiled. "Maybe."
Sirius chuckled and ruffled his hair and sat down next to him on the couch.
They finished watching Scooby Doo and soon got bored after that. Harry cured the boredom and went to his trunk to get his game of Exploding Snap for he and Sirius to play. It turned out Sirius was a master at the game and kicked Harry's butt several times. Harry grew frustrated really fast and just stopped trying to win. At the end of the sixth game the cards exploded in his face as he lost again. At the same time as the cards exploded, several loud pops were heard outside.
"Harry, did you hear that?" Sirius asked with a hint of fear in his voice.
"Sirius, that's the sixth time I've heard it, you keep beating me every time."
"No, not that! Outside!"
Sirius got up and looked out the front window. There was nothing there. Harry and Sirius were silent and another pop was heard. It came from the back!
"Harry, stay where you are!" Sirius shouted at him. He then ran through to the kitchen, towards the back door with his wand out and ready.
Bang!
Harry jumped to his feet as he heard the bang and gasped fearfully as he seen the back door had been blown open. Sirius lay on the ground unconscious from the impact, and several Death Eaters were filing in the home.
"There he is! Grab him!" One of the Death Eaters shouted. He sounded suspiciously like Lucius Malfoy.
A couple of Death Eaters charged forward toward Harry and made to stun him, but Harry was too quick. He ducked behind the sofa to get away from the two Death Eater's spells.
"Potter! Be a good boy and stand still!" One of the Death Eaters mocked.
"Never!" Harry retorted back.
The two advanced towards him but before Harry could do anything or see what happened, he fell back, completely stunned. Lucius Malfoy had crept up behind him and successfully managed to stun him.
"Grab him and let's get out of here!" Malfoy ordered his fellows.
One of the Death Eaters hoisted Harry up over his shoulder and followed Malfoy back through the kitchen and past the still unconscious Sirius.
"What do we do about this idiot?"
"Just bring him with us. We can torture him in front of Potter. That'll teach him," Malfoy sneered.
The remaining Death Eater lifted Sirius in the same fashion as Harry and walked out the door.
"Take them back to our headquarters. I'll be there in a minute," Lucius said and walked back in the house. He pulled out a pen and piece of paper and wrote a note:
Werewolf,
We have taken your loved ones.
Do not attempt any sort of rescue, as they will be already dead.
Signed,
X
He put the note down on the table and disapparated.
A/N: I know this chapter was short compared to the others, but I felt it was a good place to stop the chapter. Don't expect the next chapter to take long like this one did. I'm actually in the writing mood again! Please review it really inspires me! Thanks again to the people who reviewed for the last chapter!
Incase you're wondering about the "X" that Lucius signed with, I just didn't think he'd sign his real name or say "Lord Voldemort".
