Changes
Their break was quickly beginning to come to a close, but lucky for them their homework had been completed with the help of some of the other occupants of the house. Remus helped them with the last bit after Sirius all but did there potions homework for them. The trio was glad he was bale ot help but but also happy he had finished it, Sirius was complaining to them non-stop that he was done with school and that he should have never had to look at that old potions book again.
Now the three friends were sitting in Harry's room talking about nothign terribly important, but Harry was cleaning his broom and he wanted company. Suddenly they heard Buckbeak's anguished cry a few doors down, the trio immediatly stopped talking and crept out of their room and began eavesdropping with their ears pressed against the wall.
"Buckbeak! Calm the hell down you beast!" They heard Sirius yell trying to control the Hippogriff.
There was a crash and the group winced at what could have been broken this time. "Oh come on!" He yelled.
There were footsteps rushing to Sirius' aid and the three stuck their heads out the door just in time to see the backs of Remus and Laura as they rushed to help Sirius.
"Need some help, Padfoot?" Remus asked opening the door.
"No, Remus! I'm doing just fine here!" He yelled sarcasticlly.
Laura sighed. "Now Sirius there's no need to get all upset about it, just calm him down you've done it dozens of time before, why is this so different?" She asked.
"Because I ran out of food and he's hungry, we haven't been able to feed him for about a day now, Molly's out getting his food now. I couldn't exactly go on account I'm a wanted killer."
"Where's Heather, she works with animals at the ministry, right?" Laura said.
"Now, now, that's not nice to call Andy an animal." Sirius said having to get one crack in about that despite the situation.
She gave him a dirty look. "Not what I meant."
"She's out with Andy. Merlin knows what they're doing." Remus said.
"Well get her back here." Sirius said tugging at the rope around Buckbeaks neck.
Harry, Ron and Hermione continued to laugh with their hands pressed against their mouths in attempt to silence themselves. They saw Remus turn around and walk past them muttering something to himself they couldn't here. When he passed their door he turned around and narrowed his eyes at them with a faint grin.
"I thought I heard laughing, don't you have better things to do then watch us struggle?" He asked and the three shook their heads.
"Not really, life's kinda boring around here sometimes." Harry responded and Remus rolled his eyes as he continued his walk down the hall to contact Heather.
"Whenever we need her she's not there," Sirius complained. "When we don't she's there and she won't go away." He pulled at the rope some more after a few more tugs and more yelling Buckbeak finally calmed down enough for Sirius to stop yelling profanities at the animal. "Never mind, Moony!" He screamed. "He stopped!"
"Okay, Padfoot!" They heard from downstairs.
"Oh... actions over." Ron complained. "It usually lasts much longer then that." He walked back in the room and fell back down on the bed. "Who's here now? Maybe we could do something with them."
"Only, Sirius, Laura, Remus and us." Hermione replied. "You know you do have a new experience and say, open a book?" She said raising an eyebrow at them.
"No way." Ron said not giving an excuse just lying back.

Elsewhere in a large, old, hidden house Lord Voldemort sat in a chair facing a fireplace. The flames illuminated his odd features and making him look more demonic then he already did. His snake slithered around his feet and up the legs of the chair, From behind him he heard footsteps and his loyal follower Wormtail came up behind him.
"My Lord, the spell is prepared; I have your best death eaters working on it. We are finished, it is ready to be cast." He said in a shaky voice.
"Excellent, give it to me." Voldemort ordered with an evil smile playing at his lips.
"B – but, My Lord, there is one small problem with it."
"Problem?" he asked his temper beginning to flare. "There can not be any problems Wormtail, everything must go according to plan."
"And they will, My Lord. It's just that we could n – not get the spell to work properly if Potter were, to say, touching anything. Anything he would be touching would get sent to that world as well, a person, book, a – anything. If he were with someone it could alter the plans." He said afraid he would get horribly punished by this news.
Voldemort glared at the fire as if glaring at it would kill. "And how long would it take to correct this, interruption?" he asked through gritted teeth.
"There is no telling, My Lord." Wormtail said cowering. "It could be days but it could very well be months."
"We do not have months, Wormtail!" Voldemort roared and Wormtail squeaked and scrunched up even more then he already was. "Cast the spell as it is, as disappointed as I am in you we do not have the time to fix it, Potter must be eliminated now, with him gone I can finally take control of the wizarding world, the way it should have been all those years ago."
"Y – yes, My Lord, I will inform the others." He said and bowed down as he left the room.
Voldemort stared ahead and an evil grin appeared on his face once again. "Now, Potter will be gone and with him gone, I can rule."

The three Gryffindors continued to sit in the bedroom doing nothing. Ron had complained a lot about his boredom, he kept saying what ever happened to having adventures? They had one every year and so far their spring break had been uneventful. Even with the return of Voldemort nothing was happening, yet.
Hermione was absently going through the pictures that were sitting on Harry's nightstand. She found one she was instantly fond of. A smile brightened her face as she held it up for the others to see.
"Harry, look." It was the three of them with Sirius, Remus, Andy, Laura and Heather behind them. It was taken not long ago, not long after they first met Andy actually, when she reappeared after being deported for all those years.
"I remember that." Harry said smiling.
"Lemme see." Ron said reaching out for the picture. Hermione took it back from Harry to pass it onto Ron and at the second all three of them were holding a corner of the picture they vanished and faster then they could blink the three teenagers fell into a bedroom, it was Harry's room but it was old, dusty, dirty. Not the same, there was no light; everything was full of cobwebs and grime.
"What the hell was that…?" Harry murmured as he looked around the room in shock.
AN: Woo cliffie. Thank you for the reviews Kioko-Chan and fufu.a.k., I love them and I hope you review again this chapter. Hopefully the next chapter will be longer, if you know anything about my stories you'll know the first few are always short. But I have plans for this one. Don't worry things will get more interesting fast. Also forgive me but I spelled Grimmauld wrong in the last chapter and I am too lazy to fix it, I might but then I might not, hehe.
