I do not own Black
Chapter 2
Snape was surprised. A Grim Reaper, those were just stories, weren't they? But, if the boy was telling the truth then this would be crazy, and to top it off, he looked like one of those Weasley brats.
"Right, Mr. Weasley. Err, Mr. Knox, that's what I meant. Come and follow me. We have to let the Headmaster know what has happened and get you back to where you came from."
Ronald was surprised, this man was keeping calm knowing that he was from a whole different world and he was not even human. He wondered who this Mr. Weasley was and who this headmaster was and maybe they could help.
He followed the man named Snape down corridors and down stairs right up to a golden statue. The golden statue was some lion-bird like creature with wings and he wondered what they were doing there.
"Excuse me, Senpai Snape, can you tell me what we are doing by this creature? I don't mean to be rude, but weren't we going to see this headmaster?" he questioned. He didn't want to get on this man's bad side, what if he was Sebastian Michaelis' father or something.
"Gumdrops with red vines." To Ronald's amazement, the golden statue started moving and in its place was a spiral staircase. Snape looked over and he was quite happy that he had stunned the grim reaper.
They walked onto the steps and Snape took the lead with Ronald following behind him. Snape opened the door at the top and ushered Ronald inside. The room took Ronald's breath away, he stared open mouthed and looked one way then another.
"Severus! What brings you to my office at this hour?" questioned Dumbledore. Then he noticed the smaller figure right behind Snape.
"Who is this young fellow that you have brought with you? I don't remember school starting this early."
"Ahh, Albus. That is why I brought him up here. Can you please get Minerva," Snape said to Dumbledore. Dumbledore nodded and then he sent a spell to alert Mcgonagall to come to his office right away. While Dumbledore was doing this, Ronald watched in awe. Then he slipped past Snape and was walking around Dumbledore's office. He walked up to a bright, red bird with a tuft of hair at the top of the head. It had very long feathers and a long tail
Ronald reached out to pet the bird and it bent to meet him. While Ronald was petting the bird, Dumbledore and Snape realized the teen was not there.
"Oh my, there you are. My, it looks like Fawks likes you. Now, will you tell me your name and why Severus brought you here?" he asked with a smile.
"My name is Ronald Knox. I don't know how I got here. I'm a Grim Reaper and I live in the 1800s."
Snape and Dumbledore looked on amazed for two different reasons. Snape, because the Grim Reaper said he was from the 1800s, and Dumbledore, because he said he was a grim reaper and from the 1800s. Both Dumbledore and Snape knew that they must get him back to his own time.
"Albus! What is the matter? Do we need to have an Order of the Phoenix meeting? And who is that?" Mcgonagall asked in a very worried tone.
"My dear Minerva, everything is all right. We just have to have this boy with us until we can get him home. His name is Ronald Knox and he is a Grim Reaper from another world and another time," Dumbledore said to try and calm her nerves.
Ronald was now looking at some trinkets on Dumbledore's desk. He decided to make himself comfy by sitting on his chair and propping his feet up on the desk. He started playing with the trinket but something happened, the whole office became all smoky and cloudy.
