To Get Back To You...

Prologue: Through Time

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING HARRY POTTER!... That's Rowling's job... Anything else made up here such as the plot is MINE!!!! I'm just the annoying author who everyone hates because I leave the cliffhangers.. hehehe..

What had began as a normal day turned out to be a nightmare. How could one sunny afternoon turn to this dreadful end. She thought as she tried to block out her surroundings, remembering how this day had begun....

The sun was barely rising over the horizen as the young woman felt the crisp wind blow across her face pinking her cheeks with it's coolness. It was Fall. Such a beautiful time of year. Yet so sad... For all things grew silent preparing for the cold death-like sleep of Winter. The woman pulled her cloak more around her as she looked out from the hill, but it kept blowing in the wind.

Her wavy black-brown hair, messy and windblown and her eyes a strange,dreamy,silvery blue that held as much dreamy mystery as wisdom. A screech was heard across the distance, she looked up at her tawny barn owl carrying a letter. She held out her gloved hand in a weird type of grace that was all her own as she took the bird to her breast hugging it softly. "What have you got for me today, Kaloni?" She said with a musical laugh as the bird pecked her nose affectionatly. She removed the owl of it's burden as she opened it with a simple spell after she noticed it had the seal of Hogwarts on it... In his handwriting... Her smile was bright and dreamy as she carefully opened it...

Dear Rowena,

Just as you suspected, Salazar has been building something in secret. I couldn't persade my source to tell me anymore than that it was a hidden chamber. Why would he do such a thing, Rowena? Without telling any of us... He seems colder and more withdrawn.. Yes, more than usual, but I do bring good news. We are headed your way.. By the time this letter reaches you. I wouldn't be surprised if we were already there. It's because of this I make my letter short. For I see no point in writing what I can tell you when I arrive.

Your Dear Friend,

Godric Gryffindor

Rowena smiled happily and spun in the wind but felt the small sting of disappointment at the ending 'Your Dear Friend'... That was all she'd ever be to him. The odd,wise and whimsical friend. Then she heard it as she closed her eyes smiling dreamily "Rowena! Climb down from that hill, and quit your daydreaming and come greet your friends!" She spun around and drank in the sight of him. His wonderful deep auburn almost-black hair and those piercing green eyes,"GODRIC!!!" Rowena sqealed happily as she ran down the mountain, hiking up the skirt of her dress to her knees as she hurled herself into his arms. Where she was immedaitly welcomed and spinned as both laughed heartily. Rowena gave him a friendly kiss on the cheek she could feel the stubble of his day old beard,"You weren't lying in your letter.."

"Have I ever lied to you at all?"

"I can never be too sure with you."

Godric tried to act offended but the laughing glint in his eye gave him away. Rowena was set down to her feet as she hugged the cheerful woman with red-blonde hair.. Her other best friend, Helga Hufflepuff. "Helga, It's very very nice to see you once again. I have miss you all dearly!" Rowena cried then her gaze turned to the man with brownish hair that was a bit too oily and his face with sour features but not unpleasant. He was quite handsome.. There had always been that something about him that she was wary of.

"Salazar! Aren't you going to greet an old friend." Rowena smiled truly meaning it as her heart warmed to him as she opened her arms. But Salazar's icy composure didn't melt into a smile like it normally did when she greeted him this way. Something in her eye told her something was wrong... Something was very wrong... Salazar used a voice as slick as his hair,"No, Rowena, I think not. Not this time." Rowena's clever mind tried to work out what he meant, but she was drawing a blank for the first time in a long while. "Salazar?" Godric's voice questioned as Salazar just smirked snapping his fingers as cloaked figures appeared wands pointed at the three. It then hit Rowena as she saw Helga's deer-like brown eyes looked at Salazar hurtfully... If anyone could convince Salazar to stop this nonsense. It would be Helga.,"You...You do not mean to harm us do you Salazar?" Helga's voice cracked a bit at the thought.

Rowena was satisfied to see Salazar flinch,"I do not mean to harm you ,Helga. Go. Run now and your life will be spared." Helga turned a firey gaze toward Salazar now,"I will NOT leave them." Helga said her voice now strong as she showed the loyalty she would one day become famous for, as she stepped in front of Godric and Rowena. Salazar shook his head,"I was afraid of that." He motioned to one of the figures as he grabbed Helga from behind. Rowena went toward her friend reaching for her wand. "I would not do that if I were you." Salazar's voice cut threw her as she saw the wands pointed at Godric.

She slowly lowered her wand, as Salazar motioned for her to drop it. She hesitanted and looked at Godric, then did. She opened her eyes to face the reality. For she no longer had to remember. She was facing the nightmare. Rowena turned her gaze toward the traitor,"How could you Salazar? You.. You TRAITOR! Your nothing but filthy scum that-" Rowena felt the hard smash of his fist against her face as she fell to the ground under the weight and pain. "ROWENA!" She heard Godric yell as she heard the clash of steal before she could see it. She looked to see Godric bravely using his sword against Salazar. She would remember the look of rage on his face for all eternity. One of the cloaked ones began to saw the killing curse but didn't finish as Godric swung at him.

Rowena realized what was happening but had no time to warn him as she watched in pure horror and frozen fear as the blade of Salazar Slytherin was stabbed through the gut of Godric Gryffindor. "GODRIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rowena didn't even know she was screaming his name until she'd heard it. She didn't know she was crying until she felt the tears hit her skin. She didn't know that she had drawn her dagger until she had heard Salazar's yell of pain that didn't even close satified her aching soul as she cursed at him,"You will fail Salazar... Not you but your kin... And I will be there to watch you fall..."

Rowena swore then she noticed she'd just stabbed Salazar in the shoulder. As she drew out her dagger diving onto Godric's body, her tears flowing freely,"Godric?... Gordric?..." Her voice a hollow form of hope that was soon to be lost. Rowena moved his head a bit but it just moved back. She wanted more than anything for those eyes to open and to see those green eyes one last time. To tell him..

Rowena beat on Godric's chest,"WHY! WHY! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME! YOU CAN NOT DIE! YOUR NOT ALLOW TO! DO YOU HEAR ME GODRIC! YOUR NOT ALLOWED!.." Rowena screamed as she slowly slide her head to rest on his shoulder,"You can't die on me.. Because... Because I never got tell you... I Love You.." What was heard was now the heart wrenching pitiful sobs of a woman with no hope left. Rowena closed her eyes as she dragged up Godric's sword to his chest like a warrior should have his weapon when he died.

She knew what was coming before she'd heard the words as she whispered to the wind,"I'll be with you always... I'll find you somehow... Then I'll never let you go again.." And with those last words of promise and a flash of green light, the lifeless body of Rowena Ravenclaw fell onto the body of the Godric Gryffindor. The dagger softly hit the ground after the grip of her hand could no longer hold, and her spirit was taken from the body. Rowena Ravenclaw died that night with the blood of the one man she ever loved drenching her dress, and the blood of the one who betrayed them on her dagger. But Salazar Slytherin lived.....
