"I did ask if you would sit down", Harry made no reply," this is awfully rood of you Mr Potter", still Harry remained silent until the figure got up and walked into the centre of the compartment
Harry was lost for words only a gasp could escape his lips, for the creature in front of him was a horrific sight but Harry couldn't help thinking that he had seen him somewhere before.
It was not tall, a few inches taller than the scared boy it stood in front of. But it's features were hard to make out since there were not a lot of them, his mouth was undistinguishable, since most of it's jaw had been eaten away, his nose was stretched, as if the skin was tightly wrapped around nothing and his eyes, one was a icy blue the other was black you might say there was nothing there but looking into it was like looking into eternity, empty and black, forever held in the face of a monster. "Will you not sit down", the thing seemed adamant that Harry was going to sit down so Harry obeyed. On sitting he asked the question that had been on his mind since he entered the compartment. "Where is the professor?" "He's here" came the reply "in sprit, now that you have sat down maybe we can begin the formalities, I introduce myself, tell you why I am here and why you are coming back with me, I am Time", Harry gazed on him confused he could only manage the weak reply" you don't look like a clock", the same inhuman laugh he heard in the corridor answered him "no, back to your question your professor was able to provide me with a disguise, I am nothing otherwise, it was difficult for me to make your professor fit eternity but you can see me so it has worked", Harry was shocked so time had chosen to wear Hogwarts defence against the dark arts teacher, he did not know if he should feel proud or disgusted. "Ron?" time looked at him and answered" Ron, I was hired, for want of a better word by…"
"VOLDEMORT"
"No, your mother"
