Four reviews… close enough. Well here's the next chapter to my crappy story that you wacky people read anyways. Shout out to any one on Deviant-Art because I know some pretty awesome people on there **cough*cough* drewsefske and CeliaEquis*cough*cough**. This one's for Nickelback. I don't own "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback, Harry Potter, or Labyrinth.

After the trio leaves the dark, cavernous, oubliette, they notice they are being stalked by a beautiful Barn Owl. (AN/ I think that's what he was)

As they walked they talked about Sirius' experiences in the Veil/Labyrinth, and Hermione's mission.

"And now that we've got you, we can get out!" Hermione finished and the Black brothers could see she was both happy and proud. They too smiled with her.

Suddenly the "Stalker Owl", as Sirius called it, swooped down and morphed into Jareth.

"What…the…" Sirius and Regulus said asked as Hermione gasped, smiles falling from their faces. "You're an Animagus!" Hermione said in shock.

Jareth, too, was shocked, "A what?" he asked confused. Hermione opened her mouth for what was probably a long explanation but was silenced when Jareth continued. "Never mind," Jareth said with pride, "I am a fae."

"A what?" Sirius whispered to Hermione and his brother. Jareth's eyes narrowed, "I just came to warn you, even though you got a hold of Sirius , that doesn't mean you get to leave," he stated, eyes rolling, "you still have to get to the castle." A smirk appeared on the blonde's face.

"That can't be the truth," Regulus said, appalled.

"Well it is," Jareth said obnoxiously, reminding everyone of another blonde.

"Well," Hermione mocked, distraught, "the truth hurts."

"Don't!" Jareth shouted and then calmed, "tell me the truth hurts little girl," he practically hissed at Hermione, causing a shared frown among the brothers.

"And why is that?" Hermione hissed back, causing frowns to become smirks.

Jareth pulls a crystal out of the air, throws it towards the ground, and a clock appears. Jareth waves his hand in a "Star Wars" manner and the clock speeds forward two hours. They now had just over nine hours. "Cuz it hurts like hell," he whispered and disappeared along with the clock.

"If I had my wand, I'd hex him to hell and back!" Hermione shouted, enraged.

Regulus tapped her on the shoulder and held out his wand with a crooked smile. She let out a laugh and shook her head, "We gotta keep moving." And so they did.

Five minutes, six "Shut up Sirius", and four "Shut up Regulus" later, bright sunlight hit their eyes at a blinding brightness. The sun reflected off the glitter that was everywhere.

As they walked up the stairs they took in, yet another, stone courtyard. Like the other, this one too reminded all present of Hogwarts' courtyards. However, this one lacked life. That is, until and old man and his pet waddled in and sat down on a stone throne that was built to look like it was crafted out of books.

"Hello," Hermione greeted politely.

"Ms. Granger, Mr. Black, and Mr. Black," welcomed the old man with twinkling eyes and half-moon spectacles…hold the phone…

"Dumbledore!" The three exclaimed at once, causing smiles to be exchanged amongst the now four-some. A throat cleared few seconds later drawing attention to the beautiful bird resting on Dumbledore's knee.

"Professor," Regulus was staring, wonderstruck at the phoenix, "You managed to bring your bird here!"

"Yes," Dumbledore replied, "however…"

"I have a name!" The phoenix said snappily at Regulus.

Hermione walked over to the animal and pet his head, "Hello Fawkes," Hermione cooed at the bird.

"See! The senorita's got it!" Fawkes squawked at Regulus, causing Sirius to snicker.

"Proffessor!" Hermione said suddenly, eyes lighting up (causing Sirius to smile for he'd seen that look on Lily's face before) "Do you think you could give us some advice on solving the Labyrinth? We've got to get to the center in just about nine hours.

"Well, I don't know about this 'Labyrinth' you speak of, but I can give you some advice," Dumbledore said with a sigh.

"If you wouldn't mind…?" Hermione and Regulus said at the same time, being polite and respectful and they always were for their headmaster. Sirius laughed and said, "Yeah, Dumbles… could you give us a hand?"

Dumbledore chuckled lightly and turned to Hermione, "Quite often, young lady, it seems like we aren't getting anywhere, when in fact-"

"We are," Fawkes cut in.

"We. Are!" Dumbledore repeated, annoyed at his pet.

"What…" Sirius asked but was cut off by Hermione elbowing him in the side, making it Regulus' turn to snicker at his brother.

"Thank you, Professor," Hermione said, grabbed Regulus' hand, and walked off. Sirius just stood there, amused, and said, "Peace out, Dumbles."

"Sirius," he called, blue eyes still twinkling, kind smile still on his face, "Hermione always reminded me of Regulus when he was in school. Don't you agree?"

"Yes," Sirius said confused, "But-"

"Alas, she also reminded me of Severus, but they again… he and Regulus followed the same path."

"Wait, what! But, Snape…he…good?" Sirius muttered incoherently, as Dumbledore fell asleep in an upright position, breath slowing.

Sirius walked off, but not before he heard Fawkes sigh and proclaim that, "it's so stimulating being your pet," Sirius just laughed and walked off.
