Chapter 30(Half written in SOR, the rest written during day one of STAND DOWN!!)

It was an hour later

After bolting her dinner down, Sarah almost sprinted out of the Great Hall with Toby to the Dark Arts classroom.

There, she waited for Jareth

Nothing suss really. She just wanted to send Toby home.

Well, that's what she told the others.

Truthfully, she wanted to know why his sister was here, and if she knew anything about medicine

And if she could get the inside facts on Wixdinger.

Sadly, Sarah wouldn't have the chance that evening. She could hear the footsteps of someone tripping up the stairs.

"Oh God, please no…" Sarah muttered, raising her eyes to the heavens

Luckily, the gods heard her please.

Unluckily, it was too late to do anything.

Striding over to the door, she pulled it open quickly, and Jareth fell through and landed in a giggling heap on the floor.

"Oh my God, you idiot!" Sarah yelled, kicking him in the side, trying to get him to regain consciousness.

Jareth, as his eyes slowly fluttered open, began to laugh hysterically

"What now?" Sarah asked, exasperated

He pointed at the Jareth shaped hole in the door.

Sarah sighed

"Well, I guess you're not fit to send Toby home." She said grumpily, before storming out of the room and back to her dorm.

"A couple in babe." Jareth said sluggishly as he advanced slowly and uncoordinatedly towards Toby.

The boy, sitting in his pram, gurgled happily.

OH ME OH MY, THAT SARAH IS SUCH A SCALLYWAG!

When Sarah entered her dorm, she found the rest of the girls in her grade crowding around something.

"What's happening?" Sarah asked, walking over to see what it was.

"Your puppy just flew in the window." A girl said.

"What?" Sarah cried. "When Jareth sent us back, he must've forgotten Numy." Sarah muttered, then yelled

"And my trunk! I HATE YOU JARETH CAMBRENSIS GERALDINE SI…" she trailed off as she realised the rest of the girls in the dorm were looking at her.

"Geraldine?" Someone asked

"Who's this Geral…?" Another person interrupted her

"Hey look, the dogs got a letter!"

"His name is Numair," Sarah said

"It's a howler!"

"Sarah, who'd send you a howler? I thought you were a muggle." Ginny said.

"I don't know… what exactly is a howler?" Sarah asked, taking the blood red envelope from Numair.

"Well, it's a letter sent by a wizard which basically has them speaking on it. Mum sends them to us when we screw up." Ginny explained. Sadly, she only got up to the word 'wizard' before Sarah opened the letter.

"SARAH WILLIAMS YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR SELF!" It yelled. The voice belonged to Karen. "YOUR FATHER AND I ARE ON OUR WAY TO HOGWARTS AS WE SPEAK TO GET YOUR BABY BROTHER, AND BELIEVE ME, THE MINUTE YOU GET HOME, YOU WON'T BE LEAVING IT AGAIN UNTIL YOU REACH OLD AGE!"

Sarah groaned

"Oh my god" She said suddenly

"Where's Toby?"

FINALLY, WHAT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!

HARRY AND HERMIONE MOMENT!

A few hours earlier…

Hermione stood in the owlery, wrapped in a thick brown jacket

She turned as she heard footsteps coming up the stairs.

"Harry" She whispered as he came through the door.

"Good evening Hermione." He said happily, stretching his arms out. She ran to him and was engulfed in his embrace. "Mia, you're freezing." He said, rubbing her arms in an attempt to warm her up. "Come on; let's get you out of here. The owlery is so high up, no wonder it's so windy."

Harry led Hermione down the stairs

They walked slowly across the Hogwarts grounds. It hadn't snowed yet this winter, but the signs were all pointing in that direction.

A cold wind whipped their jackets and scarves around them. Harry, noticing how cold Hermione was, put his arm around her and led her into some sheltered trees a few metres from the banks of the lake. They sat together, out of sit, and out of the cold winds reach.

In silence they remained, for an hour they sat as the sun slowly dipped below the horizon. Harry lit a fire from a few branches that had fallen off the Whomping Willow.

"Harry?" Hermione asked. "What's the time?" She was currently lying beside the fire, her head resting against Harry's chest.

Harry, leaning against a tree with his arms around Hermione, his eyes closed, replied

"I'm not sure. It's getting pretty dark though."

"Yeah… Oh wow." Hermione breathed.

Harry opened his eyes.

"It's snowing." He said

Hermione stood, and pulled him up behind her. She ran into the open air and spun around, dancing between the falling flakes. She opened her mouth to catch some snow.

Harry stood leaning against the tree, watching her, still half asleep from the daze he had been in.

"What are you looking at?" Hermione asked, hands on her hips.

"You" Harry replied.

She smiled, blushing.

"We should probably go back soon." Hermione said. "Dinner's probably going to start in a few minutes."

"True. And Ron will start to wonder where we've gone."

"Do you think it's wrong of us not to tell him?" Hermione asked softly.

"We haven't really told anyone, Mia. I don't think it's the right time."

"Well, we did sort of tell our Dark Arts professor." Hermione said, walking over to Harry and putting her hand in his.

"Yeah, and he's probably told Sarah. Wherever she's gone…" Harry and Hermione ambled back towards Hogwarts.

"Isn't it strange how she just disappeared…"

"But she's been a little different the whole time. What with her and professor Sidhe always being together."

"Well, she's been as different as one can be when one's a wizard." Hermione said. "But they always seemed to know each other."

"Yeah, remember in Gringotts?"

"How long was she stuck in the caverns? Almost half an hour"

"And then she suddenly reappeared with that guy."

"You know that that was actually professor Sidhe?" Hermione asked as they walked up the steps towards Hogwarts' back door."

"Are you serious? I never would have guessed." Harry said, perplexed. He opened the door for Hermione, who stepped inside.

This was one of the reasons she loved Harry. He was chivalrous, always looking after her, and yet he was still rather clueless to many aspects.

Of course, those things could always be negative, but Hermione chose not to think about those things.

Slowly, they climbed the stairs up to the Great Hall, and were seated just before Ron raced through the doors to sit.

Then, Sarah and Professor Sidhe suddenly appeared…

WELL, YOU PRETTY MUCH KNOW THE REST. I JUST THOUGHT I'D GIVE Y'ALL SOME NICE HHr ACTION.

A couple suddenly appeared outside the Hogsmeade train station.

"Karen, I do not think that that is an experience I wish to repeat…" Robert said sluggishly.

"I am sorry Robert, but I thought that that was the quickest way to get here, considering the circumstances." Karen said, as she led her husband towards the path to Hogwarts. "Really, I cannot believe that Sarah would do something like this… I knew she was scatter brained, but this is just too much."

Karen continued to rant as she walked up the path towards the large stone castle. Robert, after shaking his head, followed his wife. He hoped, for Sarah's sake, that Karen walked off her anger.

As they neared the castle, they saw many lights in the windows. In one particularly large glass window, if they had looked closely, they would have seen the shadow of a man throwing a baby up into the air, then catching him…

IN THE DA ROOM.

OH MAN, JARETH'S IN BIG BIG TROUBLE!

AND SO IS SARAH!!!!!!!

When Sarah entered the Dark Arts classroom, she was breathless.

She had run all the way from her dorm to the classroom, and had to backtrack a couple of times when the staircases changed on her…

"Dear, God Jareth. What the hell are you doing?" She screamed, as she flung the door open

"What?" He asked, catching Toby and preparing to throw him up again.

"YOU'LL DROP HIM!" Sarah yelled, snatching Toby from his arms

Or attempting to

"I'm not going to drop Boby, what a silly suggestion." Jareth said, pulling Toby from her reach and throwing him again.

This time was no different to the others, and he caught him with ease

"I shudder to think why you are so good at that" Sarah said.

"Well, in the castle at the centre of the Goblin City…"

"LALALALALALA" Sarah had covered her ears and wasn't listening. "Anyway, I need my brother back so I can pretend to me Stepmother that I've been taking good care of him while he's been here."

There was a cough from behind her

In the doorway stood a horrified Karen, Robert and a smiling Dumbledore

"Oh man, I'm dead." Sarah said,

Jareth put Toby in her arms

"And that's what you shouldn't do with baby brothers. Goodbye" he said, and disappeared.
