Harry was beginning to think that the world hated him, why else would he be strung to a graveyard's statue? Still, he supposed it was better than actually dying. When he had arrived his first initial thought was that he was going to be killed on sight but instead something even more shocking happened. He came face to face with Ronald Weasley. Only it didn't seem like Ronald Weasley, his eyes were glazed over like he wasn't in control of his body. He didn't even seem to recognise Harry as he methodically drew blood from him to add to a large cauldron.
Harry tried to communicate, to ask what the hell was going on but he was ignored. Then just as Harry was about to lose his mind smoke erupted from the cauldron and out rose Lord Voldemort.
Whilst Harry was facing his enemy Ginny Weasley was frantic, she just knew something had gone wrong. She could feel it and so it seemed so could the twins. They had barged into her room and told her to get a coat.
"Wha-"
"Sirius just called; Harry is missing" was all they said. It was all they needed to say for she jumped up and grabbed a coat and followed them to the floo.
When they arrived at Hogwarts they arrived to chaos. Streams of students poured out from the quidditch field. Most of them had tears streaming down their face, Ginny and the twins pushed through them. Trying to find the reason for such commotion. What they found was a very shaken Cedric Diggory talking to the prime minister and head of the Auror Department, Amelia Bones.
The three of them walked over, it wasn't long before Amelia spotted them.
"What are you three doing here?" she asked, trying to remain professional. Ginny smiled at her, trying to remain calm.
"Where is Harry?" she asked. As Amelia tried to answer Cedric stood up
"I am so sorry, I tried to get to it but he's been kidnapped... we... I.." suddenly he stopped short as Fudge cleared his throat.
"Mr Diggory we are unsure if this is a Kidnapping or an extra task for the winner to undertake"
"With all due respect Minister with the evidence we have collected thus far the reasonable conclusion would be a kidnapping" Amelia interjected. Ginny grinned, she hated Fudge it was always nice to see someone put him in his place. Fudge spluttered for a moment before turning to the children.
"Where are your guardians?" he asked. Fred scoffed
"It's a full moon, sir, petunia is dealing with Lupin and Sirius-"
"Is right here" a voice interrupted from behind them. The three Weasleys turned around to find their favourite black-haired, leather-wearing adult.
"Sirius," George said with glee. Sirius smirked.
"Instead of question three children on what they're doing perhaps, you could attempt to find my godson. After all, it was your stupid competition that got him kidnapped." Sirius snarked. Fudge paled, trying to compose himself. Cedric tried to hide a smile at seeing the prime minister so ruffled.
"Yes well... I have the best team on it, now come along Bones perhaps we should conduct our meeting inside" Bones smiled at the four of them.
"Don't worry we will do everything in our power to find Harry" and then she followed Fudge inside.
Whilst the wizarding world searched for Harry he was talking to his arch-enemy.
Why go through all the trouble to find dear old me? Surely a letter would have sufficed?
Voldemort glared at him
"You were needed for my revival Potter... an unfortunate need but a need none the less" admitted Voldemort. Harry grinned at him, trying to ignore the headache brewing in his head, being knocked uncurious hurt, a lot.
Then why not kill me right now? I may be unharmed but a man like you cares little for honour
Voldemort seemed to consider Harry's words, he turned to his followers, trying to seem confident.
"You see Mister Potter you and I seem to be connected and I need to know why"
Perhaps because you tried to kill me? That tends to bond a person
"Perhaps, at first I thought that maybe it was to do with your mother sacrifice and Dumbledore's drivvle about love but no. It seems that something else happed that Halloween and unfortunately for you. Until I learn about what it is you and I will be seeing a lot of each other."
Then Voldemort, with the help of his followers took Harry and apparated to Malfoy Manor.
Not 24 hours later the ministry stormed the graveyard to find nothing but an empty cauldron and Harry Potters wand.
