N/A: I WON THE ELECTION! I AM 9th GRADE PRESIDENT!

N/A: if anyone is interesting a betaing (is that word, no I don't think so) my story please let me know! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
P.S. remus likes Floo Powder, and I really need to get back to comedy.
Remus and James screamed. The men had aperated, taking their friends with them. They ran from their hiding places as people in the shops piled out into the street to find the source of the noise.
The people were weird, to say the least. Even in the dim light, James could see the scowls on their faces. They were starring at he and Remus as if they would like nothing more than to hex them.
Suddenly, James felt a sharp tugging at his arm. Remus was motioning for James to follow him away from the crowd of people. Silently, as they were trying to blend into the wall as best as possible, they crept towards the public fireplace and grabbed a large bit of floo powder from Remus's canister.
(N/A: Yes for my purposes he does carry the stuff around with him.)
"Gryffindor Common Room!"
A moment later, Remus had materialized in the Gryffindor Common Room at Hogwarts followed a minute afterward by James.
"Where are we going?" asked James
"Headmaster's office," Remus answered
"You know the way to Dumbledor's office!"
"Yeah, I've been there before," Remus answered nonchalantly.
"Why?"
Remus went silent.
"What?"
"Dumbledor told me not to say," Remus mumbled, it wasn't a complete lie.
"That bad huh?"
Remus nodded, it was bad alright.
"Hey, wait a second, it was you!" said James with a look of dawning comprehension on his face. Remus turned white, had he actually figured it out?
"You set the Slytherin common room on fire!"
Remus was so relieved that James had no idea of his true nature that it took a moment for the absurdity of the statement to sink in.
"Ummm…"
"I knew it wasn't just a rumor! I didn't know you had it in you! Man, when I first heard I was surprised it wasn't me! Just wait until I tell Sirius and Addy…"
A mutual silence fell between them at the mention of their friends. They quicken their pace, a worried look on their faces.
Finally they reached what James assumed had to be the entrance to Dumbledor's office. (N/A: a griffin right? I dunno is Griffin in Spanish Grifo? I can't remember.)
"Acid Pops!"
Nothing happened.
"Um… Chocolate Frogs? Licorice wands! Um… Bertie Bots every flavor beans!"
"No, it wouldn't be that! Dumbledor hates them!"
"Fine then, if you know so much about Dumbledor's candy obsession, then help me!"
"Ok!"
"Pumpkin Pasties!"
"Drubles Best blowing Gum!"
"Mars Bars!"
The Griffin sprang to life revealing the entrance to Dumbledor's office.
"How do you know what a Mars bar is?" Remus asked his pureblood friend.
"Addy…" he started but trailed off.
Both of the boys leapt up the already moving staircase two steps at a time.
As they approached the door they heard a mass of people in deep conversation. The two exchanged a glance but decided their friends were more important than whatever the grand debate going on inside was about.
They were surprised to find the office empty, except for Dumbledor who was sitting at his desk, hands folded.
"You wanted to tell me something?" he said casually as though two second years showing up in his office in the middle of the summer was a normal occurrence.
"Yes sir," said James and he began to tell the whole story of the summer starting from when they went to the mall.
------------------------------------------
Addy's eyes closed. She willed them to open. She would not scream. She would cry and she would hold onto consciousness.
"Crucio!" the deep male voice roared again.
Addy felt a sharp outburst of pain and she hit the floor. But she did not cry. She did not scream. The moment the curse was lifted she stood up indignantly to look at the man, who merely laughed.
"Malfoy, what are you doing?" asked the man with a semblance of a leader.
"Just having a spot of fun master, just a spot of fun, Crucio!"
Addy fell again, deciding that as soon as she went back to Hogwarts she would learn exactly how to do the curse and reciprocate the man's actions.
If she went back to Hogwarts…
"I suppose I won't deny you of your fun," said the man through pursed lips. Addy had a distinct feeling that she had heard that voice before somewhere.
Suddenly it came to her, Gringotts, the man, with the sick one.
"I am not Tom Riddle, I am Lord Voldemort! The undisputed dark lord!"
"Tom! Tom Riddle!" she yelled in recognition.
Little did she know the huge mistake she had just made.
"How dare you call me by my name you orphan scum! Crucio!"
This one was, by far, the worst. The other mans ability of mastering this spell was nothing compared to Tom's. No power on the earth could have stopped Addy from screaming bloody murder so the other side of hell could distinctly make her out.
Then, the whole world went black.
Addy blinked her eyes again.
She was tied once again to the chair. Sirius was tied behind her panting. She was sure he had just met a similar fate. He was muttering under his breath, "You can't take me," over and over.
(N/A: in case you haven't picked up on it yet, bolded is Sirius, slanted is Addy and slanted and bolded is both)

I'm freeA light clapping was distinctively heard from the other side of the room.
The hunched man with all too familiar eyes came limping over.
"Good to know you can carry a tune. You do it so well, just like your mother."
