Chapter 1~Lily and James with a dash of Voldemort
Harry Potter sat at the end of his four-poster bed,gazing out of the window in the Gryffindor common room. The Easter holidays were soon approaching and Hermione and Ron were leaving. Ron was on his stomach with his quill in his hand doing his homework he got assigned from Hagrid in his 'Care of Magical Creatures class'. He let out a hollow sigh and turned to Harry.He threw down his quill. "If I knew the 6th years would get this much homework I wouldn't of bloody come to Hogwarts."
"You should have gotten it all done over the summer like Hermione did." Harry commented. "Yeah but Hermione is 100 times smarter than me" Ron said dolefully. Harry ignored the comment. His scar had a burning sensation,which ment that something bad was going to occur.He was in no mood to argue with Ron Its not worth it, He thought.
From the hall,the granfather clock sounded. "Its 2:00 in the morning, We'd best turn in."Ron suggested.Harry yawned."Yeah." He lay his throbbing head into the soft downey pillow placed neatly on his bed.
In the girls wing of the Gryffindor house, Penolope Clearwater,Pansy Parkinson,and Hermione Granger were deeply involved in a game of truth or dare. "All right Hermione, so its your turn. Truth or Dare" Said Penolope who had sneaked from her dormitory which was Ravenclaw."Truth"Hermione said boldly. "Allright. Who do you like?" Pansy said filling in for Penolope who said "HEY!" Hermione paused for a moment then answered. "Potter"she said quietly.
"Whhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaat?"Penolope said teasingly.Hermione announced it a bit louder. "whhhhhhhhhhhhooooo?" Hermione swallowed loudly "HARRY POTTER!!" She yelled. Penolope clapped her hands together giggling. "I knew it! I knew it!" She said. Pansy smiled lightly, her having a slight crush on Harry.
Professer Mcgonagall stood in the doorway. "Its time for bed ladies. Miss Penolope please get back to your house immediatly."Mcgonagall said shortly but in her usual veniomus tone. Penolope waved to Hermione and Pansy exiting the room. "Miss Granger, I'd like to discuss your grades. privatey. Miss Parkinson." Mcgonagall commented. "My bad" Pansy said scuttling off to her bed. A nearby gryffindor listened attentivly.
"Your grades have skyrocketed!" Mcgonagall said excitidly. "You have a 206% in your Arithmancy class!! They are phenominal!" She whispered. "Why that thank you proffesser." Hermione said her cheeks turning a brilliant scarlet. "It so happens, Miss truth or dare, That your higest grades are the one you attend with Potter, Keep it up Miss Granger." Mcgonagall said walking away giving Hermione a wink. "Ay! Seems as if Hermione has a crush on Potter!" Said Michelle Taint, a would be Slytherin and Draco Malfoys girlfriend." So what if I do?" Hermione spat. "Draco is ssssooooooooo much better." Michelle taunted. "And I see Malfoy';s choice in girls, Rude,prissy, Flat-chested gits."Hermione said laughing to herself.
Michelle grumbled and rolled in the oppisite direction in her bed. Hermione jumped onto her own bed and reached under her Red and Yellow silk pillow with the Gryffindor emblem on it. She pulled out a school picture of Harry he had given her. Ron had also recieved one but Hermione treasured hers. She neatly placed it back under her pillow. Crookshanks pounced onto Hermione's bed his golden eyes gleaming,contrasting with his orange fur. Hermione scratched Crookshanks on his tabby neck. "Allright. G'night Crookshanks." Hermione yawned falling asleep on her silky Gryffindor pillow.
The next morning, Harry awoke to see Ron gathering his school thngs with a shocked expression plastered onto his face. "Ron, something bothering you? Whats wrong?" Harry asked. Ron swallowed so hard it made his throat hurt. "Harry You-know..... V-Voldemorts back......" Ron said shuddering as he said the dark lords name. "WHAT?!" Harry yelled in confusion. "You heard what I said, He's taken.......Percy, Penlope, Neville, Colin, Dean,Ginny....and Hermione" Ron grumbled. Harry's stomach flip-flopped and churned. "w-what......" Ron paused. "He killed everyone off in Hogsmede.....and he's gonna........" Ron choked on his own words. "He's probaly gonna kill them off too...." Harry searched Ron's eyes, hoping to God it was April fool's and this was some sort of crude prank, but Ron was as serious as anyone could look and near tears. Harry collapsed onto his knees and grabbed his head. "No......" He whispered. Ron put a damp but comforting hand on Harry's shoulder. " If you love her.... You help me get 'em out of there." Ron said solemnly. Harry looked to Ron. "h-how do you......"Harry stammered. Ron hushed him. Seamus Finnigan burst into the doors. "He's taken Michelle!" He yelled. He ran off to inform the Slytherins. While Harry and Ron were planning a strategy, Malfoy stumbled into the room collapsing.
"Malfoy!" Harry and Ron yelled in unison. They seized each of Malfoy's arms and pulled him to his feet. "They've taken her.........." He growled staring blankly out the window, gazing into the Forbbiden forest. Malfoy quivered. "We have to get her back." He looked to Harry. "He has your Girlfriend too Potter!! We have to 'temporarily' team up to get the both of them back! and your brother and sister Weasly!" Malfoy shouted.
Ron though of Ginny, alone and scared, probaly in a seperate chamber than Percy, most likely anyway. Harry stared at Malfoy, then to Ron. Evidently his love for Hermione was becoming a subject in everyday conversation. "Allright Malfoy...." Harry said in agreement. "Go get your broom stick." Harry added as an after thought.. Malfoy nodded in agreement. Ron retrieved his Nimbus 2006 he had recieved reciently. Harry bent under his bed and reached under to grab his broomstick. His hand came back out gripping the Firebolt firmly. Malfoy entered the room on his Nimbus 2001. Ron looked to Harry and then kicked out the window, soaring in the air on his broom, soon followed by Harry and Malfoy. Harry kicked his firebolt to full power zooming past Ron and Malfoy. When he was about to pass over a large dark castle, Harry's scar burned so badly he fell off his broom and landed fifty feet below with a sickening THUD. Ron swung by, grabbed Harry's broom and landed with Malfoy nex to Harry. "Harry!!!" Ron yelled. A voice came to his head as in some way of telepathy. "She's in there Harry." It sighed in a whisper. "Dad?!" Harry asked himself. Yes it was the voice of the one and only, James Potter. "Be careful Harry, Voldemorts' locked her in there..." Harry looked around. "I will dad....."
The voice ended as soon as it came. Harry took a deep breath and rose to his feet painfully. "Harry are you allright?" Ron asked worridly. "Yeah I think....OW!!" Harry yelled grasping his arm. Malfoy walked to him and pulled a bandage from his Slytherin robe. "Seekers should always be prepared Harry, You broke your arm.. Here" Malfoy said wraping Harry's arm. Harry grimaced as he walked emabracing his broken arm. "one......two.....THREE!" Malfoy and Ron yelled, slamming into the doors and making them hit the ground with a loud Plop. Torch lit halls having a green aurora emerging from few of them seemed to be the only lights in the castle. Upward they saw a spiraling staircase that extened as far as they could see. Harry grasped his arm and started up the staircase.
Ron and Malfoy followed as Harry treaded farthest up the stairs holding onto the stair rail with his free hand. They soon reached a second and third flight of stairs. Ron sighed in darkened relief as they came to a dark twisting corridor. Harry still determied to find Hermione, started down the path with his accomplises trailing him. His arm was throbbing as hard as his head making him stop several times to regain vision. They finally reached a room with defored monsters of all sorts. Some with 3-4 eyes and extra arms and legs. Then they were surrounded in a white pale light that flashed and they found themselves in the Gryffindor common room moments later.
"WHAT!!!??" Harry yelled. His arm was no longer broken but fixed somehow by that spell. "Voldemort used the transferring speel to send us back to Hogwarts" Malfoy said in disgust ,looking around him. Harry pulled out his wand. "Something telles me this is going to work!" He said. "Transfurris Volmortis!!!" He yelled. They trio arrived back infront of the dark castle. "We should all use a different spell to stop Voldemort from attacking us......" Malfoy suggested. "Good idea....." Ron said. Malfoy unveiled his mahogony dragon heart string wand. "Transfurris Finite!!" Malfoy said. "What was that?" Harry asked. "A charm to stop him from transfurring us." Malfoy said Matter-Of-Factly. "My turn" Ron said. "Spellboundious Arithemetis!" Ron said. "No spells or charms can be used." Ron said proudly. They entered the towering castle and re-walked the winding staircase, and walked through the twisting corridor, bck into the room of the beasts. They walked slowly, not gawking at the creatures, hoping they wouldn't burst out of their imprisonment and eat them alive. They reached an abrupt end at a door that was marked 219 in dusty silver lettering. "I heard of this, Voldemorts human hostage room. Pay more attention in classs Potter, Weasly." Malfo sneered. They pushed open the door and walked in. "Harry over here!!" Called a farmiliar voice.
Harry spun around on the mention of his name."Hermione!!!" Harry yelled running to her cell. He reached his hand throught the bars and touched her had tenderly. "Harry, I'm scared, They killed Penolope Percy and Neville......." Hermione said shivering. Her hands were cold ans clamy, and her voice very brittle. "Stand back Hermione" Harry said pulling out his wand again. "Flameris Meltindio!!!" Harry cried. The bars melted away and Hermione ran to Harry, throwing her arms around his neck and knocking him to the ground. "Nice to see you too Hermione" Harry said with a grin.She helped him up and Harry brushed himself off. "Hermione there's something I need to......LOOK OUT!!" Harry yelled throwing her on th ground.
