Nothing's Gonna Change My World

Words are flowing out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sirius' jaw dropped, eyes wide. Harry was lost in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of Deatheaters. He must be so frightened, he was only six.
"What the fuck happened?" Sirius cried.
"About five or six Deatheaters broke into the house" said Remus. "They stunned us and took Harry. By the time I had regained my senses they were long gone, there was nothing I could do"
"Shit! We have to go find him. Where do you think they are hiding? You've seen Snivellus lately, haven't you?"
"Yeah, I heard him telling Dumbledore something about them hiding at the Malfoy Manor. We should check there first."
"Great, I'll go check and you go tell Dumbledore what happened (A/N: Big mistake!) and get help immediately. We need to get Harry back. Alive."
"Okay, I'll do it as fast as I can"
"I hope so"
Sirius apparated to the forest behind the Malfoy Manor. He couldn't afford to get caught. If he did he would end up in Azkaban and Harry would die from the deatheaters' abuse.
Ha quietly snook towards the house, checking behind him every once and a while to make sure that no one was watching. Once he made it to the house he quickly ran to the door.
The Malfoy Manor was a beautiful stone mansion that was painted silver and green. Vines grew over the sides of the house with roses that any woman would die for. Sirius hated it. It was the house of his enemy Lucius Malfoy and his worthless cousin Narcissa.
Sirius rang the doorbell. About a minute later a little boy of around Harry's age, with a pointed face and white blond hair opened the door. It was Lucius and Narcissa's son Draco.
" Hello, Draco isn't it?" asked Sirius.
"Yes" said the boy.
"Is your father home?"
"Sorry, he's busy with some boy in the dungeons"
Sirius' head suddenly filled with visions of Malfoy and his fellow deatheaters beating the hell out of Harry. Harry was screaming in pain but the deatheaters didn't seem to notice.
"Excuse me Sir, are you okay?" said Draco, pulling Sirius out of his torturous thoughts.
"Yeah, I'm just fine. Please you have to take to your father's dungeons, that's my godson that they have down there. I need to get him. You need to help me, please!"
Sirius felt slightly odd, begging a six-year-old child for help.
"Okay, okay, follow me"
Draco led him through the fancy hallways of the mansion. As they got closer and closer to the dungeons the surroundings got darker and darker, till they were walking through cement hallways with absolutely no colour to them.
Draco opened a heavy door that led to a cold room full of cells. In the cells were sick looking men, banging on the walls, trying to get out. They made Sirius shiver.
In the room were a bunch of figures wearing long black cloaks and grotesque masks. They were huddled together, whispering to each other. Draco gave them a frightened look and fled from the dungeons.
"Give me back my godson!"
The deatheaters stopped their whisperings and turned to face Sirius. Harry was nowhere to be seen.
"Excuse me?" asked the closest to the front.
"Give me back my godson Malfoy!"
"Bring him here"
Two of the deatheaters came to the front. At first Sirius thought everything was going to be okay. His relief soon faded when he noticed the limp figure that was dumped carelessly onto the floor. It was Harry!
Harry's hair, which was usually messy, now hung in mated strands across his face. His exposed arms were covered in so many cuts and bruises that it was impossible to tell which colour his skin was and his glasses were gone.
"Harry!" Sirius yelled.
The boy stirred and slowly lifted his head. He looked up, squinting as he tried to focus.
"Sirius" he moaned weakly.
Sirius tried to run to Harry's side but there seemed to be invisible bonds around his arms keeping him from leaving the spot. He tried to struggle against them but nothing seemed to work.
"Let me go!" Sirius yelled.
Malfoy sneered at Sirius and walked up to Harry. He pointed his wand at his chest.
"Crucio!" Malfoy yelled.
Harry convulsed on the spot, a loud scream escaping from his lips. Blood began to run down the sides of his mouth, down his cheeks.
"Stop!" Sirius screamed hysterically. "Don't hurt him!"
Malfoy removed the spell. Harry's body went limp as his head hit the floor, his body shaking with every breath he took. Malfoy grabbed Harry from the back of his shirt and carelessly threw him at Sirius. Sirius broke out of the bonds and caught him.
"You should be ashamed of the worthless piece of shit!" snarled Malfoy. "He is the biggest menace to the wizarding world!"
"I'm proud of him!" yelled Sirius. "He is the greatest kid you could possibly have! He's no menace!"
"He destroyed our master!"
"You think that's a bad thing? That's the greatest thing that ever happened, you should be happy!"
"Very well, whatever you say. Just go!"
"You mean we can leave? That simply?"
"Just go you filthy mother fucker!"
Sirius looked down at his godson. Harry was all beat up and bloody and lay limply in his arms. Sirius could feel his blood soaking into his own robes. Sirius gave the deatheaters one last dirty look and fled. He ran back into the hallway Draco had led him through.
"We'll be back!" was heard from the dungeons.
Sirius continued to run.
"Sirius" the boy choked, opening his eyes.
Sirius could feel his tears running down his face. Why did this always happen to Harry, he was only six years old, much to young to carry such a burden.
"Don't worry, everything is going to be alright once we get out of here. You can trust me when I say that"
Harry weakly tried to grab onto Sirius' arm. Sirius ran outside and quickly made his way back to the forest. He sat down behind a tree, in the grass and put Harry in his lap. He took off his cloak and wrapped it around Harry to stop the bleeding.
"Better?" Sirius asked.
"It huts! I wanna go home!" the child moaned.
"Don't worry, we'll get home soon"
"Freeze! Stay where you are!" yelled a voice.
Sirius looked in back of him. He inwardly groaned. Standing behind him was Albus Dumbledore and Barty Crouch!
Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe
