Sorry for last chapter's shortness, but the ideas ran out quite abruptly and still, I have no idea of how it would continue. So instead, here's a new chapter, sorry again. It is clear to me you guys more like longer chapter then the short ones. Well, I can't make miracles, but I can update. Hope you'll enjoy.

Tári: Young girl, go to bed. It's way to late for you!

Shitza: Tári (sighs) you are starting to sound like my mum.

Seeeza: Shitza don't own Harry Potter, if she did me and Tári would have been gone.

Shitza: Too bad. Now, on with the story...

Chapter 6 Shaky Ride

It was pretty early in the morning and the Headquarters was a complete mess. The fact that the five heirs, and Ginny, would leave this morning made it even worse. Well, truth to be told every single Order member had on either way made it look like THEY had to be the one to help the heir pack or something similar. Every time, their stuff was repacked. In the end each heir took their own trunk, packed it swiftly and sealed their room from everyone else. Many of the Order members saw this to be really unfair.

"We just want to help" Tonks said trying to get over the big magical padlock on Hermione's door.

The six friends didn't listen. They all knew the reason why. Time flew past and all members would love to tell his or her friends how she saved the heirs by helping them pack. The problem was, the longer they went by this the longer it took for them to get ready. Yet in the end, thankfully, Mrs Weasley turned up and shooed the rest of the members away, allowing an very tired Harry, Ron, Hermione, Cassandra and Draco to get some last minutes look up over their things, which too seemed to be a mess.

"Where's my hairbrush!" Hermione said irritated, as her hair hadn't been brushed yet.

"Where's my badge!" Draco called, not noticing the twins laughing by the door.

"Where's my wand!" Ron said not noticing he stood on it.

"Where's my cauldron!" Neville said, not noticing it being dragged away.

"Where's my book!" Harry said not seeing it in Hermione's hand.

"Where's my eagle!" Cassandra said not noticing Draco's innocent look.

"Where's my owl!" Ron said, not knowing Ginny had sneaked Pig into her trunk.

"Where's my cloak!" Neville said, not seeing the fire salamander dragging it towards the fire.

"Where's my nose!" Harry said as the twins, pranksters as they were, magically pulled it of.

"Where's my broomstick!" Cassandra said not seeing how Tonks and another one was silently sneaking away with it.

"Where's my rest!" Hermione said tiredly.

"Where's my life!" Draco agreed falling down exhausted in a chair. The Order members around laughed and said... "We told you would need our help."

Twenty minutes later, when everything, except for Cassandra's eagle had been found, they were on their way back to Hogwarts. The five heirs and Hermione apparated to King's Cross, or behind various objects to not attract so much attention. They hurried over to the barrier and to the Hogwarts Express. It was still ten minutes left until the train would leave, yet they wanted someplace to sit. The Weasley family arrived shortly with Ginny, as she still wasn't old enough to Apparate.

To their surprise, huge surprise, they found an empty compartment on which it said...

RESERVATED FOR THE HEIR OF GRYFFINDOR, SLYTHERIN, RAVENCLAW, HUFFLEPUFF AND MERLIN. ALSO AN RESERVATION FOR THE SORCERESS AND HOLDER OF MORGAN LE FAY'S GREAT MAGIC.

The heirs and Hermione shrugged, yet seeing they would have a compartment of their own, they just smiled. Inside it was huge, probably very magical as it looked like a chamber. There were six special decorated areas. One in yellow and black with small flower patches, one in green and silver, with a silver streaming small waterfall. One in red and gold, with a roaring fire in the centre. One in blue and bronze, with what looked like a minimum library. The last remaining two was white. One if them too did have a library. The other one looked as if it held a great bunch of magical equipment and a large stack of books.

"Looks perfect!" Hermione said walking over to the white library and grabbed the nearest book.

The others nodded agreeing. They wondered why Dumbledore had done a such a huge thing for them.

In the end of their compartment, or rather say chamber, was a door, which opened and Colin Creevey walked in, looking very shy and shocked.

"Yes, what can we help you with, Colin?" Hermione asked.

Colin bowed, surprisingly to them all and said.

"I was supposed to collect Master Slytherin and Mistress Le Fay for the prefect meeting." He said bowing again.

Hermione looked at Draco, who looked back.

"I guess we forgot about that, well lead the way Creevey" Draco said. Colin looked scared, but nodded. Hermione and Draco disappeared.

"Wonder what was up with him?" Ron said. Harry shrugged and continued to read up on the books he had.

Ron walked over to the fire again and began playing with the flames. Neville was carefully examining the small plants and Cassandra, well she was, like always, reading.

Neville looked up from the earth he was digging in.

"So, how do you feel about beginning in Ravenclaw?" he asked. This caused the Ravenclaw to look up for once.

"Nervous" she said her eyes rolling back to the pages of the book. Neville smiled.

"You sure are good on hiding it." Ron said. "I never knew I would say this but I'll miss our daily rows. Hope you'll visit the tower."

"Don't worry, I will. And I'll miss them too."

"Well, you are always welcome back." He said. Cassandra looked at him and suddenly it was as if all her emotions broke out as she burst out in tears. Ron walked over to her and gave her a brotherly hug. She continued crying on his arm. Harry and Neville smiled when they saw the scenery, yet they kept quiet with their thoughts.

The hours passed by and many students walked in to them. All of them seemed as shocked as Colin, when they entered. Harry and the others had to constantly tell people to not call them masters or lords. Dean Thomas fainted when he went in, Lavender's jaw dropped. Seamus stumbled when he saw Ron slowly run a hand through fire. Ginny, who entered later, turned when she came to the door, not wanting to suffer from a nervous collapse. The new standard on their compartment had made it rather hard for them.

Yet there were also those who entered without looking so effected, for example Parvati and her twin Padma, who walked over to Neville asking him if he had any Anemones on the spare. Cassandra had a large interesting conversation with some Ravenclaws. Harry managed to pull himself in trouble with three Slytherins. It was then, Draco arrived, closely followed by Hermione. He pulled them of, looking rather ready to kill.

It was about half the journey back, when something strange began to happen. First of all the lamps blinked, which they didn't seem to mind since that can always happen. But when the train began to shake violently and soon enough stopped, it all began to feel a bit creepy.

Harry walked over to the window, to see what he really didn't want to see.

"The Dementors have surrounded the train" he told the others.

Draco walked over to see if he had been true. He found out, yes as a Dementor swooped up so close to him, he could feel its breath through the glass. And that was cold.

"Grab your wands" Harry said walking over to the compartment door. "On the count of three...

"... one..."

"...two..."

"...THREE! Expecto Patronum!"

The Dementors backed when a heard of various creatures appeared. Harry's stag, Hermione's otter, Neville's hummingbird, Ron's weasel, Draco's cobra and Cassandra's giant eagle swooped over the Dark Creatures and slowly eliminated them. The six forms disappeared, and the six friends fell back to their small corners, exhausted.

Yet the train still, stood still. They didn't move, the lamps were out. Harry cursed and walked out to the long corridor. He walked to the front of the train to see what might have happened. When he reached the engine, it was empty. He ran through the train, something wasn't right and he was worried. What had happened, what could possible have happened?

He went back to the others and told them the news. They all made a quick search... their conclusions became...

"They're all gone." Hermione said. Draco put his arm around her shoulder, comforting.

"Curse Voldemort, what happened?" Harry said, his fists shaking violently.

"No idea, must be some kind of spell or something," Ron said.

No matter where they looked or where they went, the train was empty. What kind of evil spell the dark side might have used, they did not know.

(Shitza: Should I stop here, would make a nice cliffhanger. (ducks flying rotten tomatoes) okay, I get the point, I'll continue)

(Hogwarts)

"Dumbledore, something is really wrong" Professor McGonagall said.

"What is it, dear Professor?" the old headmaster asked.

"It's about Harry, Ron, Hermione, Cassandra and Draco. They've disappeared from the train."

The headmaster rose from his seat.

"Have you received any information on how this could've even have happened?"

"Well, Miss Weasley sent an owl telling us about a private compartment that had been decorated for each of the heirs wish. But you haven't, have you."

"No I haven't." the professor said. "Minerva, assemble the staff, the heirs are in mortal danger and if we don't do something soon, then I'm afraid..."

"No Albus, we can't think like that, we have to continue believing."

"My time will soon end, Minerva. If I die you must take my place."

The Transfiguration professor looked at the old headmaster with a sorrowful look. Tears trickled down from her eyes. The news had been like a stab to the whole staff in their hearts. They all new, the whole Hogwarts new. The rest of the world didn't know yet, but soon enough they too would know. Albus Dumbledore was dying.

-Flashback-

Albus had been in the hospital Wing for four whole days. Still, no one could be able to see the weaknesses openly, but it had been the third time the old headmaster had collapsed. This time on his way to the Minister. He hadn't even been able to make it down before fainting. All that stress and his age had made it almost impossible for him to continue, or so Madam Pomfrey had told him at the Wing.

Minerva McGonagall sat by her desk, worried. Giant tears fell on the letter she was writing to her dear sister. She would be the first Muggleborn Headmistress yet she didn't want to, but she had to. In times like this you had to do much. Very much.

She wondered how she would tell the Staff, and then how the world would react. Dumbledore had always been the one Voldemort always had feared. What would happen then, when the Wizarding world would find out? What people would panic, what the dark Side would laugh. No, this had to remain at Hogwarts as long as possible.

She walked down to the staff. Most professors had returned for the summer. Professor Flitwick and professor Binns played chess, Professor Flitwick was loosing, yet it wasn't surprising since Professor Binns told him about a summer he had long ago with his ex-wife, who later had married a circus clown. Professor Sprout was talking to Professor Vector. Even Professor Trelawney was down from her tower, telling professor Sinistra how she one day would get married with three children and a husband she hated.

"I have very sorrowful news," she announced standing by the door. "Our dear headmaster is dying."

Professor Flitwick squealed and jumped up and hid behind a cabinet door. Professor Binns fell through the floor. Professor Sprout squashed the plant she held in her hand. Professor Snape, who had been half asleep by a chair, fell to the floor and growled as he got up. Professor Trelawney mumbled something that sounded very much like... "I knew this would happen today, I had foreseen it."

She sighed as she left her colleagues to talk about this among themselves. Some would neglect it, some would believe her. She knew what usually happened around. She would probably in the end have everyone against her. she knew it, she knew how her colleagues would react. She wondered how many she would be able to count on, if Albus died before... she didn't even want to think about it, it was terrible.

-End flashback-

Now, the idea had been taken by all the staff. Madam Pomfrey had told them Albus would probably have twelve to fifteen months left. In all that time he would get weaker and Hogwarts had to train for the new times that came. If now Albus would die, quite soon enough, Minerva had to be prepared to take his place, if it happened. Also, they had to expect the worse blows ever and probably also an attack from You-Know-Who.

Now, problem had once again caught up with them. If Harry and the heirs disappeared, then who in the world would be able to help them.

(Back with the heirs)

The ghostly train continued its journey, leading the five heirs and the sorceress to new adventures. Cassandra was walking back and forward mumbling to herself. Yet soon, all questions would be answered.

The compartment door opened and three Death Eaters walked in. one of them was unmistakeable Professor Verewolf. Harry had to hold on to Ron, to prevent him from jumping up on his and punch him. Professor Verewolf laughed and pointed his wand straight at Harry.

"Wouldn't advice you to kill me now, you know it's your Lord who wants to do that."

Ropes sprang out from nowhere and bound the six teenagers from their tip of toes to their necks. Ron growled, Harry just stared at the death eaters, Cassandra tried to furiously think out a way to get out of the ropes. Neville and Hermione remained calm, while Draco mumbled "Pathetic."

The Death eaters laughed, not seeing as four element awoke and cut the ropes. Ron burnt his of, Harry and Cassandra pressed the ropes from them, Neville gave them a wondering look and the ropes crumble up to dust. Draco and Hermione gave each other a equal determined look as their ropes grew heavier in water. They both mumbled a freezing spell, wandless and the ropes broke apart. When they were done the six stood up, growing tired by the laughing bunch of Death Eaters.

Jonathan Verewolf looked up and saw to his fright that the ropes were gone. Yet how, he had no idea.

"That was pathetic" Draco told the Death Eaters. "I think I've never seen a weaker group of so called Death Eaters before.

"What do you say of teaching them a lesson!" Harry suggested thinking of what had happened to him during the latest attack in Diagon Alley.

-Flashback-

After helping out Madam Malkin's and her daughter, Harry had accidentally stepped over a new dozen of these annoying things. Once again it was attack or defeat and he rather to say to attack instead of being defeated. That was a huge mistake he found out as the spell he used, another Freezing Charm, bounced back freezing the top of his hair.

"What's the matter Potter, to weak to take us all out."

Harry's anger rose beyond anything anyone had ever seen before. All the magic surrounding him grew wild and the Death Eaters for once understood what kind of mistake it had been, underestimating him. In the end, finally, they fled leaving him alone.

-End Flashback-

Harry tried to concentrate on the same anger again. The air around him began moving to his will, to his strength and for his bare soul. The five remainders stared at him as pure strains of the old magic appeared and the stunned Death Eaters were thrown back. Harry fell down again as the magic left him. Still there were lots f questions around the magic and he knew, once things settled down, Cassandra would ask him about. The problem was, he didn't know half of it for himself.

"Well," Ron said smiling. Now that that's over the question remains. How will we get back"

Neville smiled and Cassandra summoned their trunk. All of sudden a blinding light in the colour of rainbows grew. The five heirs and the sorceress were going back to Hogwarts.
