It Shouldn't Have Happened – A Second Task Story – AU
Dumbledore.1
A/N: Okay I realized I missed out loads of things on my last chappie. And I put the wrong chappie first, but I suppose it'll work like this. This one's more of an informative chapter. It explains what happened to Harry. Anyway…My name's Laura, but feel free to call me Boo, it's what everyone does. I apologize for any OOC, but it is AU, I think I need to explain a bit on the Universe its set in first. Sirius broke out of Azkaban like before, but he didn't kill those 13 people. The street was blown up, but the people never died, Pettigrew was gone and everyone thought he betrayed Lily and James, but no-one thought he supported old Mouldyshorts, he was tortured. Hope that clears things up for this chappie. And I'm sorry about this chappie, it was a real pain to write, Dumbledore just wouldn't co-operate, so it might not be that good, I forced my muse to write.
Disclaimer: Do you really think I am the fabulous JK Rowling? I'm not even a teenager yet. Anyway…Don't sue me; I'm just borrowing the characters to make pleasure…NOT MONEY!

Dumbledore.1 (A/N: You know I do believe I've already said that but oh well)
I hope nothing has happened to Harry. He's been in the lake too long. Gillyweed only lasts for an hour. He'll have run out of air by now. I hope he hasn't drowned. He may have learned how to do the Bubble Head Charm so he used that as well. Mr. Weasley and Miss Delacour's sister have just come above the surface, so where is Harry? Merlin! Harry! Two Mer-men just lifted him out of the water. As I take him he's as light as a feather. He's not breathing! Remus and Poppy come running over, Sirius following in his animagius form. A lot of the students are going to think they're seeing the Grim. As serious as the situation is, I can't stop a slight smile appearing on my face. As I finish telling them what I know (which isn't very much), Remus goes white and Poppy runs over to where I've laid Harry. She immediately starts casting life-saving spells. Hopefully she can get him breathing again. Sirius runs over to Harry and tries licking him (A/N: remember he is in his animagius form still. Just so you don't get confused). He comes back to Remus looking dejected and with tears in his dog eyes. He flops down next to Remus whining up at him. Sirius looks up at Remus, licks his hand as if to say I'm here, you haven't lost all your friends, sighs when he doesn't get a reaction and then looks back at the floor, all signs of life leaving his eyes
Remus doesn't acknowledge Sirius licking his hand; he just turns round to face Hogwarts silently crying. He's lost another reminder of his seven years as a student here. All he has left is Sirius. And Sirius won't be able to bear something else happening to Harry. He'll retreat into himself and become a shadow of the lively, mischievous seventeen year old he once was. Him and the 'Marauders' livened up the castle. Harry did as well. The Mer-chief tells me what happened. According to him Harry was the first to reach where the four hostages were. He spent ages waiting until Mr. Diggory and Mr. Krum had rescued their hostages, being Miss Chang and Miss Granger respectively. When Miss Delacour didn't appear, he decided to rescue her younger sibling. As he was nearing the waters surface, he was attacked by Grindylows. He pushed Mr. Weasley and Miss Delacour up and tried to fight them. Just as he ran out of air, Harry managed to stun all of the Grindylows. He started to sink when two Mer-men grabbed hold of him. Harry looked at them as if to say 'thank-you, but it's too late' and then became limp in their grasp. And we know what happened after that.
Minerva's coming over after trying to sort out those involved in the task after Poppy left. She's got Alastor sorting them out and making them go back to the castle to get changed and dry. Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger are refusing by the looks of things. Alastor looks at me as if to say 'can they come over?' I shake my head, no. I'll tell them my self later. He nods and ushers them back to the castle. I tell Minerva what the Mer-man told me, she starts panicking. Ginny Weasley come rushing over a few seconds later. She wants to know where Neville, Dean and Seamus are. I tell her where they are (the castle) and I will tell her about Harry soon, but not yet. She thanks me and then runs off looking for the boys. Minerva announces for all students to 'return to the common rooms immediately and for the heads of houses to go with them. Professor Vector is to stay with the Gryffindor's.' This really gets the students worried. I watch Remus as all the students trudge up to the castle. He turns around and croaks 'Why Albus? Why Harry?" I cannot answer him. I give him and sad smile and head to see what Poppy is doing.

A/N: Wow that was long, roughly 700 hundred words, not including the first authors note, or this one. Just note that not all the chappies will be this long. Most will be small, and yes I will be revisiting the people again, well most of them anyway. Next chappie is Remus, one I'm really looking forward to writing. Anyway… see ya later
Much love
