Chapter 1 - "Potternapped"
"Hey Harry, you better hurry up! Ron will probably claim every thing that's for breakfast if you don't. " This was the warning call given to Harry by the prankster twins of the Weasley household on a gloriously sunny morning. Grumbling to himself after being woken up, Harry got dressed then made his way down to breakfast.
Truth be told, Harry hadn't been sleeping very well lately, not after the Third Task of the Tri-Wizard tournament. He was plagued by nightmares of the graveyard and of Cedric Diggory, the other Hogwarts champion, who was murdered before his eyes. The memories had been plaguing Harry since the end of his fourth year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, when Lord Voldemort had been resurrected with the bones of his father, Wormtails hand and Harry's blood.
Upon entering the kitchen, Harry sat down to breakfast and listened to the murmurings of the Weasley family and Hermione. Being the last to arrive, Mrs. Weasley promptly dished out his breakfast saying he was to skinny and Dumbledore would think she was starving the poor boy. While eating his breakfast, Harry's mind kept going back to the incident at the graveyard and he quickly lost his appetite.
"Harry, Ron, we need to get going before the crowds start. Harry, are you listening?" Hermione asked when she noticed her friends far off look. Her voice brought Harry out of his thoughts.
"Oh! Sorry Hermione, what were you saying?" Harry asked, oblivious to the concerned stares of his friends.
"Come on mate, lets go before Princess Perfect over there lectures you or worst, takes points away for not listening." Came Ron's sarcastic reply. While receiving their Hogwarts letters, Hermione had received an additional letter declaring her to be a Gryffindor 5th year Perfect. Hermione simply "Hmphed!" as she walked towards the fireplace followed by Mrs. Weasley, the twins and Ginny.
Soon the Weasleys, Harry and Hermione had Flooed to the Leaky Cauldron in London. Once in Diagon Alley, they entered Gringotts to retrieve their money then headed outside where the trio immediately split up from the rest of the group to start their shopping.
"We'll meet back at the Leaky Cauldron around 5, then head back to the Burrow for supper. It gives you three a few hours to get your supplies." Came Mrs. Weasley's call as the trio headed for Flourish and Blotts to buy their schoolbooks. Soon the trio only needed to get their robes, so they headed for Madam Malkins Robes for All Occasions.
"Well, well, well! Look who's here, Potty and his little group of misfits, Weasel and Mudblood." The Mudblood comment got to Ron and he exploded before Harry or Hermione could stop him. "Don't call her that! Now shove off Malfoy before I do something you'll regret!" Ron replied with all the revulsion and hatred he could muster. Malfoy couldn't help but snicker at Ron's reply. "Is that the best you can do Weasel?" "No, let me show you!" Next thing anyone knew, Malfoy was on the ground holding his bleeding nose. "Nice one Ron! That was wicked." "Harry! Don't encourage him." "Sorry, but it was funny."
While they were talking Malfoy had managed to get to his feet. He was currently glairing at the trio while holding his nose. "Think that was funny do you? Well I'll be the one laughing when the Dark Lords through with you Potter. We'll see how funny things are then, now won't we? Watch your back Scarhead!" With that, Malfoy left the shop in a fit of rage.
It took only about 20 minutes before they were fitted for their robes and left the store. Out side in the streets, people were busy getting their school supplies oblivious to the approaching storm until thunder could be heard in the horizon. It was almost time to leave so they decided to head back to the Leaky Cauldron and have a Butter beer before they left.
"Hey Harry, you up for a game of chess when we get back?" "Sure, we can't really play Quiddich with that storm coming. Your mother would have a fit." Said Harry. Hermione just looked at them before muttering something about 'boys and Quidditch' as they continued their way to the Leaky Cauldron. Overhead, thunder now accompanied by lightning filled the sky as a bellowing voice yelled out "MORSMORDRE!"
Popping noises soon followed as Death Eaters apparated into Diagon Alley. Before long people were running for their lives as Unforgivables flew through the sky hitting their targets. Some people fought back only to be over powered and tortured. During the first wave of the attack Harry became separated from Ron and Hermione. Harry was soon running, jumping, dodging and anything else to avoid becoming one of the lifeless corpses on the ground.
"This is not good. Oh crap!" Harry thought as he managed to duck a killing curse as more and more Death Eaters surrounded him. "Surrender now Potter. Are Master wishes to have your company." "Sorry to disappoint, but we don't always get what we wish for. Tell Voldemort thanks but no thanks, I'm happy were I am."
Harry managed to knock out a few Death Eaters with stunning spells while avoiding being killed in the process. Unfortunately while he was distracted a well-placed stunner brought him to the ground unconscious. The Death Eater who had stunned Harry bent down to pick him up just as Ron and Hermione appeared from the fleeing crowds.
"Leave Harry alone!" Yelled Ron as Hermione took out her wand ready to heck's the first one to move. The Death Eater simply laughed while the others pointed their own wands at the two teens. Before they could avoid any curses, they were knocked off their feet by the disarming spell.
"We have what we came for, the ministry's been alerted, Death Eaters retreat!" cried out the masked man who had an unconscious Harry in his arms. Soon popping noises could be heard all over Diagon Alley as the Death Eaters apparated away; Harry with them.
"Harry's been kidnapped!" Hermione cried from the ground as Aurors arrived on the scene only moments to late. Ron, looking quite pale responded with his own comment.
"No, worst! He's been Potternapped!"
Author's note: There, chapter one. And look! Gasp! It's longer than the prologue like I promised AND it's out before Sunday! Sorry about the cliffy. He! He! (Getting ready to duck flying objects from readers.) Old Voldie's got Harry now. What will he do with him? Will Harry get away or will he die a slow painful death? (Ducks rotten vegetables.) Only joking! Harry's the protagonist, I won't kill him off. or will I? You'll have to wait and see. Read and Review! I'M EVIL!!!!
