Chapter One

Twenty years later:

Harry sat on a chair by the window in his room in his uncle's house on Privet Drive. He was watching the stars and clouds glide across the night sky. He had a strange feeling something was going to happen tonight, something good. His thoughts drifted to Ginny Weasley, his current girlfriend. He'd asked her out as they had gotten off the Hogwart's Express at the end of last year.

He smiled at the memory. This year was going to be a good year. He wasn't going to let Voldemort or anyone else spoil his fifth year. He heard the clock in the dining room chime midnight. His gaze went out to the street. He saw a small light on the pavement. He jumped up and ran outside. There on the sidewalk in front of the house laid a girl.

He could tell by her robes that she was a witch. She had long flowing blonde hair, she looked to be about his age, and she was badly injured. Without thinking he picked her up and carried her inside and up to his room. He didn't know who to call for help. Harry laid the girl on his bed. He looked at his wand, he wasn't allowed to do magic outside of school yet. Then Hedwig, Harry's snowy-white owl flew into his room through the window.

Immediately Harry knew what to do. He took out a piece of parchment, a quill, and some ink and began to write:

Remus,

I need you and Snuffles to come to Privet Drive fast. It's not

safe to tell you why by owl. Hurry!

Harry

Harry glanced at the young girl laying on his bed as he gave the letter to Hedwig. The owl hooted before flying off into the night. In less than ten minutes Harry heard two familiar pops downstairs. He rushed down to find his godfather in a heated argument with his uncle.

"Where is he Dursley? If you've hurt one hair on his head I'll…" Harry interrupted him by clearing his throat.

"Harry is everything okay?" Remus asked concerned.

"I need your help. Come on," he said as he lead the way up to his room. Once there, he took them to his bed. He heard the two men behind him gasp at the sight of the girl. "She needs to be healed and I can't do magic outside of school."

"Harry do you know who this is?" Sirius whispered.

"No, she was unconscious when I found her outside," he replied turning to look at the two older men. He was shocked by the frightened looks on their faces. "Are you two okay?"

"Um…sorry Harry," started Remus, "She just reminds us of someone we used to know who disappeared at the beginning of our fifth year."

"Well I doubt it's her, I mean she looks about my age," said Harry softly, hoping he hadn't upset them too much.

"Right then. Let's get to work," Sirius said as he and Remus began to heal all of the girl's wounds. After about twenty minutes they were finally on her last visible wound, when she suddenly gasped and sat up. She looked at Remus and Sirius with their wands out and began to search for her own.

"Here," Harry said as he stepped forward and handed her her wand. She took it hesitatingly as she looked into his eyes. Soon her own began to fill with tears. For an unknown reason to himself, Harry stepped forward again and held her as she cried, all the while saying comforting nothings.

Once she had calmed down enough harry took her downstair where he got her some food. Sirius had to keep his wand on the Dursleys to keep them away. She ate slowly, unsure. Harry watched her intently before sitting down next to her. "It's not poisoned you know. Here I'll even take a bite," he said as he lifted a piece of fruit to his mouth, chewed, and swallowed, "see?"

She chuckled lightly at him before diving into the meal he had set out for her. Harry felt an odd sensation at hearing the girl laugh and seeing her smile. He quickly shook it off. When she had finished she seemed much more relaxed. Sirius and Remus watched the two teens closely. Sirius's mouth curved into a smile as Harry seemed to take a liking to the girl.

Remus then stood up and walked over to the teens, "I'm sorry to interrupt, but what's your name?" he asked the girl gently.

The girl looked into his eyes and said, "Well Moony, you should know, but since you asked, my name is Saber Malfoy."
