Chapter….3!

And, whatever it was… was waiting patiently whist he and his cousin argued. However, whoever they were had enough of their silly squabbles and the air itself chilled.

Chilling so eerily so. Icy yes, icy and cold as if they were in a freezer! Harry for a second thought that he used magic, but that thought was thrown out the window; he didn't have the power to make the stars disappear. The darkness –No the endless abyss was not helping because they could see nothing.

Dudley screamed. "What are you doing?! Stop- stop it!"

"Shut up," Harry hissed. Damn it couldn't his idiot cousin see he was trying to concentrate!

Oh, no! No, no, no! This was bad. Why ….they…. Here in Little Whinging?

Harry was shivering; he was hoping his instincts were wrong.

Dudley didn't shut up. Then again who would when they were terrified?

"I said shut up!"

Wham!

Harry fell off his feet and he felt as though his head was going to split in two. He hissed in pain as his body collided with the cold ground and his wand flew out of his hands. Harry cursed, before shouting at Dudley.

"You freaking, MORON!" Harry stumbled up, but then his eyes widen. That- What was the pig a fool?

"You're going the wrong WAY! COME BACK!" However, his plea went on deaf ears, but it wasn't even a second later when a shrilling scream erupted in the air. Harry froze up because behind him was the thing.

"Wand!" He called frantically, looking around in the darkness that continued to engulf the alleyway. "Lumnos!" A flaring light illuminated. The fact that he just used magic was far from his mind the only thing that mattered was getting rid of these unwanted things.

"Expecto patronum!" Harry yelled desperately. It was him or them and he wasn't going to die. He had a sister to find, a family to see, a home to go back to. Like hell he was going to give up! No! The dementor was only sending it skiing back! Harry panic; willing himself to concentrate.

Harry fired again however; the dementor was closing in rapidly. Couldn't run, can't escape; no freedom lies farther. In fact nothing was up ahead; nothing, but the darkness an everlasting darkness.

He would never see Ron, Hermione, Sirius, or Hogwarts again. He would never be able to meet his sister, he would never know what's she like or –

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!"

He did it! Haha, he did it! He... Harry soared around frantically looking for Dudley. It felt like ages, but he found his cousin curled up; hovering over him was another dementor!

Harry hated the boy for always bullying him and sure he deserved some type of punishment, but death…? He wouldn't wish that on his worse enemies besides; Voldemort was the only exception.

Without hesitation he sent his stag running for the creature. It was defeated just as the last one. Harry stumbled over towards Dudley.

'Dementor's here,' Harry thought. He couldn't fathom it unless it was Voldemort making his move. Did Voldemort know that he had family? Did he know about Haliene? Harry always pondered these questions, but the answer was always the same.

No.

"I am sad to say, Harry that yes Voldemort has found out," Dumbledore told him. "However, he does not know her whereabouts just as we do not know."

"Are you still searching, Professor? Why? If she is in Japan shouldn't you have brought her back? Why is it taking so long?" Harry asked; his eyes watering and his fist clenching.

The man shook his head; "I know the feeling Harry, my boy, but you mustn't think that. After all; if he did I don't believe he would put you two against each other." Then Dumbledore smiled in a grandfatherly way. "Japan is vast. Remarkably so, my boy and we have not given up."

That was the only thing keeping him from running around rashly. His musings were cut off by footsteps. Harry dashed to put his wand away, but…

"Don't put it away you silly boy!" A woman shrieked; "What if more of them come back? Oh, I'm going to kill Mundugus Fletcher!"

Harry blanked as the woman Mrs. Figg ranted. She knew of magic! What a shocker?! No, no wait. That wasn't the icing! The icing was that he was being watched by some... some bloke. Dumbledore..?

What- ? "You know, Dumbledore?"

Mrs. Figg waved it off by say, "OF course I know him. Who doesn't?"

You'd probably be surprise on who didn't and who didn't give a damn about the almighty Dumbledore.

After some time, Harry hoisted up Dudley and with Mrs. Figg leading the way they began walking. Through conversation, Harry found out that it was on Dumbledore's orders that Mrs. Figg or anyone for that matter was not allowed to say anything about the magical world. He didn't know how to react to that. He didn't know. However, one thought did occur. Did his sister know of the magical world? After all; Harry knew that there were magical worlds in the Asian countries. Why just look at Cho Chang.

Harry shook his head furiously now was not time for such thoughts. Harry opted to listen to Mrs. Figg rant on and on about contacting Dumbledore or killing Mundugus.

"You can use my owl," Harry said slowly with a groan. "She'll deliver the message-

Mrs. Figg rounded on him as if his idea was totally ludicrous. However, she suddenly stopped when a loud crack was heard. The man was Mundugus and he had a... Invisibility cloak.

The man looked from Mrs. Figg and then towards Harry and Dudley. However, Mrs. Figg was not happy and all Harry could do was watch as she swung her bag and wacked the man sideways.

Puff… it would have been funny if the situation wasn't dire. Mundugus left with sounding crack and Mrs. Figg led Harry to his doom. Unfortunately, before Harry could question farther she was gone.

Did I say Harry went to his doom? Yes, yes I believe I did. Petunia saw them and she shrieked up a storm. Vernon came running and when he saw how his son looked he rounded on Harry so fast; you'd think he gave himself 50 or so whiplashes.

"Boy, what is the meaning of this?! What happened to my, Dudley?!"

When Harry didn't answer he marched and grabbed the boy by his throat. "Boy!" Vernon snarled.

"Nothing," Harry said. "I didn't do it. It was-

Just then an owl soared in the kitchen. Vernon roared dropping Harry with a heap. Harry took his chance a grabbed the envelope that the owl gracefully dropped in front of him before it shot out of the house completely.

Dear Mr. Potter,

We received word that you have performed the Patronus….

Dumbledore was in his office not pleased. He would need to assure the boy however, right at the moment that didn't matter.

"Ay, Severus my boy, you've come."

"Not to burst your joy, headmaster…" the potions master said crossing his arms. "But, I have little time for your foolishness."

Dumbledore's eyes twinkled. "Come now surely you know I am only going to want the best for you."

Snape snorted. "Yes and the best is never pleasing."

"Ay," Dumbledore sighed dramatically. "But, you do well to know Fawkes has located, Haliene."

The shock was priceless. Snape couldn't even speak let alone blink!

Finally he opened his mouth, but all what came out was a splutter.

Dumbledore looked highly amused, "Quite surprising really. I should have used Fawkes years ago, but I suppose-

Wham!

Dumbledore fiddled with his nose. Oh, it wasn't broken! He looked at Snape who was panting with his fist slowly going down.

"You," he snarled. "You gave up three years ago. Said that it was useless to continue searching; that you had to stop sending out owls! AND NOW YOU SAY YOU USED THAT DAMN, PHONEIX!" Boy, Snape who had to deal with seeing the boy in such miserable and dejection didn't like it. Hell, he hated that he felt useless every time. And, every time he wanted to punch Dumbledore. He…but didn't he just do so?

No, that wasn't enough; he mentally told himself. For years he had to live with the guilt that he couldn't keep his promises. For years he had been sent around the world with the other order members and told lies. For years-

"Severus, what was that for? Violence will not solve..." Dumbledore started, but...

"Who are you taking to go?" Snape interrupted him. "Who are you taking?"

Dumbledore responded unperturbed. Hell, you think he would be nerve by what just happened, but... "I will send an owl with a letter. Unfortunately, Fawkes has not found the exact location, but it is a lead none the less."

Snape twitched and curled his fist to the point that his knuckles were turning white. "A letter..? A bloody letter! Are you out of your mind! What makes you so certain that she'll read it?! She's in Japan somewhere, you dolt! Has it ever occurred to you that they might not use owls! Or, the fact that she won't come with just a letter alone!"

Dumbledore stared at his spy. The boy certainly had a pouty mouth. "Then, "Dumbledore said as if he was holding back his laughter. "Who do you suggest?"

When Snape didn't answer… "You can go then, Severus you and the owl. I expect when I return you'll be at the headquarters?"

Before Snape could answer a loud crack resounded throughout the office. Both turn to see Mundugus who looked shaky.

"Oh, dear. Snape leave immediately with the owl. Mundugus," Dumbledore said turning towards the man. "Go to the Weasley's and inform Author immediately! I'll be heading to the ministry."

Mundugus bowed and left with a crack.

Snape left soon after they did and could only wonder what was the girl like?

Harry was no longer scared for his life. No, he was as calm as a clam. He explained as passively as possible, but one just took the cake.

"There wizard guards for the wizard prison, Azkaban," Petunia answered.

Ok, it was one thing to find out that Mrs. Figg was a squib and that Mundugus was a wizard that was tailing him, but Aunt Petunia! What was the world coming to? What's next elephants parade around and talk human!

Vernon looked just as astonished as Harry did. Hell, he looked as though he lost his voice! However, time ticked by, but it wasn't fast enough after that owl came three more.

Vernon wasn't happy.

"So, why? Why did they come here?" He suddenly asked Harry brining the boy out of his thoughts.

"No, idea."

Vernon looked as though he solved the millennium puzzle. "They came to arrest you, boy! That's it!"

"No," Harry said exasperated. "It must be him," he whispered.

"Who, boy..?" Vernon asked raising a brow.

"Lord Voldermort."

The air seemed to chill. The Dursley's looked pallid, but it was Petunia who spoke, looking at Harry in fear. "Back..? You mean … he's… He's alive?"

Vernon looked between his family and the 'freak'. He then laughed hysterically causing Harry, Petunia and Dudley to look at him as if he lost his mind.

"Out! Get out! We did well by getting rid of your sister! Now, I knew we should have immediately gotten rid of you too! You're nothing, but trouble, boy!"

Harry remained shock still whilst Petunia and Dudley jumped.

"Are you deaf, boy? I said get OUT!"

Harry still couldn't move and just like that another owl zoomed in this time from the Chimney.

"It's a howler!"

Petunia shrieked it was for her. While the letter was going on smoking; it shouted:

"REMEMBER MY LAST, PETUNIA!"

"The boy," Petunia said shaking, "Stays."

Oh, oh, oh the night was clearly one that would never be forgotten. As soon as Hedwig came he sent her off; now lying in his bed sleep still didn't claim him. Why? His sister….. Was she living a better life than he was? (No Dursley's) Was she alright and living with loving people? Was she happy in Japan? Did she know of the magical world? His thoughts didn't stop there. Oh, no. What was that howler about? Why did he just blurt out about the wizard world? What was going to happen to him now?

Harry didn't know the answers to none of these questions, but sleep finally came to take him as he thought of receiving answers from his friends.

Severus Snape landed in open land vast; with trees surrounding the area and nothing, but nature staring at him in the face. The brown owl didn't fly off however, and Snape placed the tracker spell on the animal. He followed the owl as it led the way, but, unfortunately he was in for a big surprise.

A surprise he wasn't quite ready for.

N cut'! What do you think? Good, bad needs more improvising? Errors..? Well, thanks to you guys I'll see how the rest of this goes, but….. Whoa! Two up-dates back-to back! Well, now I'll really need to take a break. Guys this doesn't have to be Haku/Zabuza. Haku can be paired with someone else, but I have nothing on parings at the moment, but it would be nice. Now, who do you think should Snape meet? Who do you think Haku should meet in the forest? Well until next chapter; I'm out!
