The Arrival

Sirius found himself face-down in snow. For a few seconds, he lay in the freezing ground, his face numb. Slowly he lifted himself from the snow.

The first thing he noticed was his hands. Apart from them being wet and cold, they looked smaller, and less wrinkled. He felt his face with his new hands. He was surprised to feel that his face was fuller and smoother. His hair was also much shorter. Then he noticed he was wearing his school robes. Someway, and somehow, he had turned twenty years younger.

He looked around and was hit with shock again. He was in Hogsmeade, the village by his old school, Hogwarts. It looked like a Christmas card: it was snowing gently across the village, landing on the thatched Shoppe's and inns.

Sirius noticed something else. Usually the town was hustling and bustling with shoppers and students, but it was now completely empty. The silence was unnerving, so Sirius started walking through the town.

As he walked through the winter-wonderland, his shoes making the only noise, he was slightly uneasy. He was the only soul in the entire village. Here and there, he would look through the shop windows, looking for people inside. He saw nothing but the store interiors. Even the most popular shops like Zonko's and the Three Broomsticks were unfilled.

After walking around he also noticed something else weird. The snow that continued to descend from the heavens weren't affecting him. Instead of melting and wetting Sirius's robes, the snow just seemed to drift off him. The flakes weren't cold either, they were comfortably cool. What was going on?

As he looked up he stopped. Ahead of him was Madame Puddifoot's Tea Shoppe, the café for all the happy couples in the world. It never really stood out to Sirius seeing as he had no need for the place. But out of all the stores at Hogsmeade, the teashop seemed to stand out more than the others. It had an eerie aura to it that called Sirius towards it.

As he slowly walked toward the teashop, a noise startled him. After he jumped, he noticed that the door opened to the teashop. Someone walked out and closed the door behind him.

It was man in his middle-twenties. He was tall and had dark red hair. He was wearing dark blue robes as he walked towards Sirius with a benign smile on his face. He walked right up to Sirius and continued to smile.

"Hello, Sirius," he said, "I have been waiting for you."
