(A/N: Sorry for the delay, here's the next chapter)

Silence, that was the thing James Potter could hear. Wind was blowing through his messy hair, making it look messier than ever. His eyes were still closed. He dares not see what has happened to him. Like all human beings, he was afraid of Death. He couldn't feel Lily in his hands anymore; he became worried and, with hesitation, he opened his eyes.

Bright white light almost blinded him; his eyes took a while to adjust to the sudden change. Lily was nowhere near him. The Sun was shining directly at his face; he shielded his eyes and nervously looked down. He saw the top of a frustrated giant and a vast stretch of tree tops. Someone was holding him. He turned around and saw a young man around his twenties.

The man didn't notice him at first, but after a moment, he looked at James. They stared at each other for a moment. James was the one to break the silence.

"Who are you?" James asked.

"Vell, I'm not an angel, if zat's vot you're thinking," he said smiling. "Viktor Krum, famous Quiddich player of Bulgaria." Viktor did a loopty-loo in the air.

"Show off!" Someone yelled behind him. James looked behind Viktor's back. Harry was on a broomstick, holding Lily tightly. James noticed that he was on a broomstick, too.

"Thought I'd let you die there, didn't you?" Harry said, smiling.

"For a moment," James said, laughing.

"Who want's me to do the Wronski Feint?" Viktor asked.

"Viktor, don't," Harry said.

"What's the-" James asked but he soon found out.

The broomstick jolted and headed to the ground, James went pass a few tree tops and he was completely frightened out of his wits. He actually saw parts of his life flashing in front of his eyes. Didn't know that could actually happen. he thought. He saw the ground, he closed his eyes and braced for impact, but it never came. He opened his eyes and found that he was staring at the smiling faces of Hermione and Remus.

James got off the broomstick and tried to balance himself on the ground. But he was still shaken and, feeling as though he was standing on jelly, his legs gave away under the weight. He fell face first into grass. He heard another whoosh and heard Harry's voice. "Viktor, he was almost killed by a twenty foot giant, I didn't think scaring him to death right after was a good idea."

"James, are you alright?" he heard Lily's voice say. He felt himself being pulled up and he saw Lily's concerned face. "James? Hello? Blink your eyes if you can hear me," she said. James blinked. "Oh, thank goodness," she said and hugged him tightly. "Lily," James muttered. "Yes?" Lily asked. "Please don't suffocate me," James said smiling. Lily smiled and loosened her grip. James's head fell back, he smiled and sat up.

A girl Harry didn't recognise was smiling at him. Her hair was jet black and her hazel eyes twinkled when she smiled. Cupid's arrow had pierced through Harry's heart, once again.

(A/N: Once again, it's love at first sight.)

The girl walked towards Harry. "Hello," she said.

"H-H-Hi," Harry stammered.

"Can I have my broom back?" she asked.

"Yeah, sure," Harry muttered, giving her the broom.

"Thanks," the girl said. "My name's Rose, by the way."

"Rose," Harry said. "That's a beautiful name."

Rose smiled and her eyes were directed to Harry's scar. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Harry," she said. She walked towards Viktor and Hermione who were having a conversation. Harry listened to them.

"Thank you, Viktor, for rescuing James and Lily," Hermione said.

"It vos my pleasure, Hermy-own-ninny," Viktor said. "Though, it vos an unexpected surprise for me and my sister to meet you here of all places."

"It's a long story," Hermione said. "And it was a long journey."

"Vell, if you vant to stay at my house for awhile, then, you're velcomed," Viktor said.

"Thank you," Hermione said. "Yes, we would love to stay at your house."

Both Hermione and Viktor looked at each other and smiled. Hermione opened her mouth to speak but she was cut off by Ron's voice somewhere behind some trees.

"Sirius, for the last bloody time," Harry heard Ron's voice. "Please, stop touching your butt. It's disturbing."

"Come on, mate," Sirius said. "I can't help it if poison ivy makes my butt itch."

"Can I just have a moment of silence?" Audrey screamed. "It's bad enough that it's a bloody long way to Bulgaria and it would be more tolerable if you two would just shut up!"

Ron, Sirius, Jason and Audrey appeared through a clump of trees. Both teams spotted each other and there was a long moment of silence.

What the hell is Viktor Krum doing here? Ron thought.

"So," Sirius said, walking to the group. "What did we miss?"

"A lot," Hermione said.

"Well, sorry," Ron said.

"It's okay," Hermione said.

"Are they with you?" Viktor asked.

"Yes," Hermione said.

"Well, you all are velcomed at my house," Viktor said.

"Even us?" Audrey asked.

"Of course," Viktor asked. "Though I don't zink ze other people will approve bringing centaurs into Bulgaria."

"Hermione, what are you doing?" Remus asked.

Hermione was looking through the bag again. "Looking for a potion," she said, distracted. She stopped and smiled. "Okay, do you two want to be human?" she asked.

"What do you mean?" Jason asked, stunned by the sudden and random question.

"I have a potion here that will change you to human," Hermione said. "It's a very complicated potion to make and I'm surprised there's even one here. But it's permanent. Are you two willing to take the risk to become human for the rest of your lives?"

"Are you joking?" Audrey asked. "I've wanted to become human ever since I can remember. We can finally be one of you. Isn't that wonderful, Jason?"

"This is certainly a nice surprise," Jason said.

"But the herd will not accept you," Hermione said.

"Who cares about the herd?" Jason said. "They've been killing humans and treating them as scum. It's disgusting to even be near them."

"Here you two go," Hermione said giving them each a small vile of a blue, glowing potion. They grimaced at the potion's smell but drank all its contents.

Both Audrey and Jason were surrounded by a blinding sky blue coloured light. The light glowed for a moment and died out. A bewildered pair of humans were left.

"Nice skirt, Jason," Ron said, smiling. Audrey looked at Jason who was wearing a sky blue frilly skirt. She looked down and saw that her tube top had, in a way, grown longer, and she was wearing a white dress.

"Audrey, how do you feel?" Hermione asked.

"Weird," Audrey answered truthfully. "I feel like my back legs have gone numb and I can't feel my tail."

"It's because they're gone," Lily said.

"Can someone get me a decent pair of pants?" Jason asked.

"Well, you won't believe this," Hermione said, laughing, as she looked into the bag. "There are two pairs of jeans and shoes and a few shirts in here. Guess Professor McGonagall forgot to mention that the bag can provide us with clothing."

"Can I, please, have a pair of jeans?" Jason asked.

After Audrey and Jason have changed…

"So, let's get going," Viktor said. "Bulgaria is about more than twenty kilometres from here. It was a shorted trip on broomsticks but I don't think all of us can fit on two Firebolts. Viktor turned around and started to walk. The rest of the group followed and Lily and James were walking on each side of him.

"Thanks for rescuing us, Viktor," Lily said.

"You quite velcomed," Viktor said.

"So, you're a Quiddich player?" James asked, interested.

"Yes, I am," Viktor said. "I once played in the Quiddich Vorld Cup."

"Wow," James exclaimed, impressed.

"Is it true that there are Veela in your country?" Lily asked.

"Yes," Viktor said. "Zey were our mascots during the Vorld Cup."

"And we know how that turned out," Ron muttered.

"Ron," Hermione muttered, nudging Ron.

"Sorry," Ron muttered looking at his shoes.

"Are you saying sorry because you are really sorry or because you just found out I'm the one with the food and you are hungry?" Hermione asked.

"All of the above," Ron said.

"Here, Ron," Hermione said, giving the bag to Ron. "Enjoy stuffing your face."

"Thank you," Ron said, taking out and sinking his teeth into a gigantic submarine sandwich.

"Hey, mate," Sirius said. "I'm hungry, too."

But before Sirius could get a bite of Ron's sandwich, there was a loud rustle in the bushed behind them. All of them turned around and backed away slowly as the rustling became louder and they could hear screeches. A group of wild, ferocious looking Hippogriffs jumped out from the bushes and looked at them.

Remus stepped out from the group and looked at the Hippogriffs. The wild creatures looked back at him as he made a low bow. The Hippogriffs screeched again, more loudly this time and started to charge at Remus. "Shit," James muttered.

"RUN!" Remus yelled running in the other direction. The others didn't need to be told twice; they turned around and ran for dear life. "Well, isn't this a déjà vu feeling," Lily said.

"I have a hiding spot to the west," Rose said. All of them turned right and ran towards what looked like a sealed cave. "Look!" Hermione said, pointing not towards the cave, but towards the almost disappeared Sun. Remus shivered as the Sun went down and they were left in the light of many twinkling stars. A small fragment of the moon became visible behind a cloud and Remus stopped in his tracks.

"Vot's he doing?" Viktor asked.

"You don't want to know," James said, also stopping. "Padfoot, help me here."

"You got it," Sirius said and ran towards a shaking Remus.

"Everyone, run into that cave and stay there for the night," James said. "Don't come out no matter what."

Rose took out her wand and muttered a spell. The boulder that was blocking the entrance of the cave rolled away, revealing a dark passage. Everyone started to run in. "See you in the morning," Ron said as he disappeared into the entrance. When all of them were safely inside, Rose muttered another spell and the boulder rolled back into place. They all heard a piercing roar and then a wolf howl. They could hear the frightened screeches of Hippogriffs. Some thing rammed against the boulder and scratched at it. There was a thump and another howl as the creature was knocked back. "Now, vould someone tell me what just happened?" asked a confused and bewildered Viktor.
