No worries about the lateness, it means alot that you're here.
Lol, the was one of my favourite lines, it's fun making the guy in charge look a fool.

The next post was supposed to be posted awhile ago, but I didn't have time, so here it is.

“What did you say, Remus?” Sirius said pulling his wand out.
“Excellent, unless they knew about it. Look,” Lupin said pointing at the graveyard in the distance. “Do you understand, Harry? Tom Riddle Senior was buried here, so his tombstone will be here.”
Harry understood what Lupin meant, but looked shocked. After all, the dark lord wouldn’t just send the Order to the sight for no reason. Sirius looked at Harry and calmly said what’s wrong. Before Harry could answer that a scream emerged from the local pub. The hanged man was situated past the graveyard, across the road. The group broke into a run suspecting what was happening in the muggle filled pub. Surely the pub was filled with the locals having their Christmas dinner.
As they passed the graves, they heard another scream and a flash of purple light filled the windows.
“Guys, get your wands ready,” Sirius said running towards the pub.
“Ready,” Lupin said getting ready to open the doors.
“Sure,” they all said.

Lupin opened the door and the group walked into the pub. It looked normal, but when the door was closed, everything changed. A few muggles were on the floor and some men dressed in black robes were sat behind the counter.
“Potter, what took you so long?” One of them said.
“Who are you?” Sirius asked walking slowly towards the counter.
“Oh, dear cousin. How I missed you,” A woman said. “You fooled us, but if you were clever enough you would have stayed away.”
“Bella,” Sirius spat.

A few muggles on the floor were screaming as they heard the strange talk between the wizards.
“Who are you?” A woman cried.
“We’re here for you,” Hermione said comforting the woman but keeping her finger on her wand.

POOF

“Where did they go?” Lupin asked, as the death eaters apparated.
“I dunno, lets go out and see. C’mon.” Harry said opening the door going back to the outside.
“Look, is that them,” He asked seeing more than a few hooded figures stood in the graveyard.

“Oi, Potter. Let’s make a repeat of last time, eh?” One of them shouted.

Harry’s scar began to sting more than ever, as he fell to the ground.
‘Go on, you can take a great shot, then I can bring your parents back,’ said a voice in Harry’s subconscious.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOO,” Harry screamed jumping up with the pain in his forehead. He shot of in the direction of the graveyard, with Ron, Lupin and Black behind him.
“Harry, wait,” Ron shouted trying to catch up with him.
“Ron, you can’t talk me out of this, either you help me or you go.”
Rons face went blank as he tried to control himself from sending a spell directly at Harry.

“Stupefy,” Harry shouted sending a red beam straight ahead. It hit one of the figures in the chest and the person fell down.
“Expelliarmus,” Ron said aiming at one of the death eaters who was raising his wand. “Accio wand,” he muttered, pointing at the death eaters arm.
“Sirius, Remus, help,” Ron said as dozens of spells were barely missing him. He slowly looked back and then shouted, “Where’s Hermione?”

where is she? pams pleASE i love theis story

muhahahhaa..you are evil

ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that was good
has hermy been captured ???
pams please

Ahh! Exciting! Keep the writing up! And congrats on becoming a prefect!

Where is she, I wonder. Maybe she got eaten?
Why,Thank You, I try my best.
Thanks, I try to keep it exciting. You're a Ravvie, woohoo, Ravvies rock!

Post coming up!

‘Pop’

Hermione had apparated and began chasing the group, and she was an incredibly fast runner. Within seconds, she had caught up with Ron and was trying to think of a way to get help. She reached in her pocket and pulled out a rock cake. Aiming it at a death eater, she took a shot.
It flew past Harry and hit the woman in the nose. She collapsed onto the floor and screamed in pain as her nose had been broken.
“Nice shot,” Ron said with a grin on his face.
“Thanks,” said Hermione blushing.

They final had finished running as they came face to face with the death eaters. Around 3 were on the floor injured or unconscious, but more than 5 were up and moving.
“Avada Ked-,” one began.
“Tarantallegra,” Harry said aiming at him. The death eater’s legs began shaking uncontrollably.
“Petrificus Totalus,” Hermione said sending a full body bind curse onto two death eaters.
A red light flew through the air and hit Sirius. He had been knocked unconscious.
“Enervate,” Lupin said bringing Sirius back to the world.
“Harry, hide behind that tombstone,” Sirius shouted getting to his feet.
Harry ran behind a tombstone that happened to be Tom Riddle Senoir’s stone. A few death eaters all sent stunners at the tombstone at the same time. As the red beam of light made contact with the tombstone, the red light shot into the air. The tombstone had cracked in half and a silver shadow was out.
Lupin looked at it and summoned it towards him. He held it in his hands and closed his hands, muttering a lot of different words. A minute later, the horcrux exploded into a cloud of silver mist and disappeared.

The death eaters who sent the stunners looked at each other with fear on their face. They had just destroyed their master’s soul, surely they were in trouble. With their wands drawn out, they began to attack each other. The group from Hogwarts just stared at the death eaters. Soon enough, it reached the final two people fighting. Bellatrix and her husbands brother, Rabastan. They both turned and faced Harry saying, “You were lucky,” before apparating together.

Lupin walked towards Hermione and asked her something about what happened in the pub. He then pulled out a strange shaped telephone. He dialled a number and said, “We need some obliviators, an enforcement squad and a reversal squad, Muggles down, at location 4.”

“Location 4?” Harry said.
“Yes, we numbered each area suspected of containing a horcrux. This is area is no’ 4. Now I think about it, there are only 2 left. The goblet is still being searched for, but the owner has covered their tracks.
I think it’s time for us to return to Hogwarts,” Lupin said.
“Um, how?” Ron asked.
“What do you mean?” Lupin asked.
“Well, the portkey, do you know where that is?” Ron said.
“Erm, well, are you all up for a walk? We can apparate to Hogsmeade and then walk to Hogwarts.” Lupin said, chuckling.

"and a silver shadow was out"
cool description, ive been trying to find out what a horcrux would look like

wicked nice one i love it pams!

thats sooo cool! write more please! this story keeps getting better.

wowww, great posts. i missed so much. and everyone's okay
PAMS

Roshni

Nice action-packed post!

Okay, if I didn't love Harry so much this would be the part were I would have smacked his achoo... sorry. I swear...Ron's just watching out for him...wanting him to be careful...but I guess it's understandable, you'd get tired after a while of the bad guys and then you just have to kick some achoo...

So much for your three week hiatus Ali... It's more like I took the three weeks off I'm sorry I haven't been here...I suck but you're cool and so your story and I'll be back later to read the other post.

Thanks, I thought I'd make it look like a patronuses type thing.
Thanks!
Let's hope it stays that way. I wouldn't want it to get worse.
Thanks Roshni. Everyone's ok for now, but things may change.
Thanks Fortune Cookie! I've got some more action ready, not for now though.
I wanted to make Ron hit Harry but it wasn't the right time, . 3 Weeks fly dont they, I'm back home now so I'll be able to post normally.

As said above, I'm back home. You wouldn't believe how much I've written whilst being away, around 11 posts, inc' 2 chapters. Post next

They apparated back to Hogsmeade but stopped off for a butterbeer.
“Bet you didn’t expect Christmas to be like this, eh?” Sirius asked the group.
“The feast! We could make it if we ran, we have 30 minutes to get there,” Harry said, looking at his watch. The time was 4.30 and the feast would start at 5.00
They quickly finished their drinks and walked out into the streets of hogsmeade where it had started raining.

“Perfect!” Sirius said as his long hair was sticking to his face.

Harry, Ron and Hermione were having a race to get to the castle gates but were surprised when a large black dog ran past them. It got in front of them and then stopped, making them move to the side. Just as they were reaching the castle gates a ribbon of fire blew in front of the group from one of the dragons. Sirius transformed back into his human self and tried protecting Harry from the flame. The dragon moved back when Lupin arrived and bowed down. Its wings touched the ground and it placed its head in front of Harry.
“What’s it doing?” Harry asked looking at the head on the floor.
“It’s giving you a lift, go on,” Remus said walking onto the dragon with Sirius.” “But you need to keep a tight hold or you might fall into the lake,” Sirius said, laughing.

Once they were all on, the dragon rose into the air, and moved quickly over the grounds into the entrance gates. It lowered its head and let the others off and they went into the hall, prepared for a feast.

They walked back into the hall and saw the few people who had stayed over Christmas. Many parents felt that Hogwarts wasn't safe enough for their children stay over Christmas.
The house tables had disappeared and everyone was using a large table. A few Durmstrang students had also stayed at Hogwarts and were sleeping in a classroom made for them.

Most of the Hogwarts staff was eating when Lupin, Sirius and the kids entered. The all stopped and looked at them whilst Professor Orios hurried over to them.
"So, what happened?" He asked curiously.
"We dealt with it," Sirius said noticing a few students were trying to eavesdrop. He glared at them and they turned back to eating their dinner.
"The locket?" Orios said.
"No, we couldn’t find the locket, but we did find a horcrux. The gravestone of Tom Riddle Senior was destroyed accidentally by the death eaters. Now we only need to find two more." Lupin said.
"Two? The locket, what else?" Sirius said,
"A cup belonging to Helga Hufflepuff. When Riddle worked at Borgin and Burke's he laid his eyes on the goblet. The owner died at the hands of her house elf at the cup was nowhere to be found." Lupin told Sirius.
"What makes you think that Riddle had anything to do with it?" Sirius said.
"He regularly visited the owner and was the last to see her."
"Sounds like the dark lord did it. How about continuing this talk later, I'm starving." Sirius said going towards the table.

brill!!

awesome post. wat do u mean they r just okay for now? lol now u got me curious. PAMS

Roshni

Awesome post, as usual. Wonder what's going to happen next!

If Ottery see's this, then I want to wish him a Happy Belated Birthday. I was looking at your 'birthday fic' minute ago and then realised. *feels guilty* So anyway, Hope you had a great birthday!!! Wish I'd have realised sooner, though.

Ali, you're so cool, you're too kind. Thank you. I hope your holiday's going good...I came to catch up...but I saw this and I just had to post. You're too cool, don't worry about being late.

EDIT: Okay so I just finished reading it Ali. Good stuff, I loved the dragons but you probably already knew that...LOL Did I mention I love that Sirius and Remus are there? I wish JKR hadn't of killed him...I could see Sirius kicking bad guy butt in the final battle but...

No use crying over spilt milk *Ottery cries over spilt milk*

Anyways, so you're like ahead...uh-oh, I better stay on the ball then. I don't want to fall too far behind. But I'm reading very few fics now, just yours and a friends...uhm...Shan-Shan's. But she hasn't posted in ages...
Keep it up...PAMS when you can...if I'm late it's because of exams...

Hmm *insert evilness here* Well. They will be ok, for now. But after, aha.

Thanks. Something that the kids will enjoy, unless they get stuck. Try working that out, hehe.
Thanks! JKR killed two special people, one has came back. Will the other? *probably not, but maybe * Good luck in your exams, Otts.

The all sat down and ate from the mountains of food. The turkey, chicken, beef were all being consumed as well as the many different vegetables. As Harry was piling some potatoes and carrots on his plate, Professor Orios stood up.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas day," At this Harry let out a small laugh. "In February, we will be welcoming someone back to Hogwarts. The person has been in St.Mungo's for a while so I would appreciate it if you made them feel welcome. They won't be here long, but they will be here on their favourite day, Enjoy your meals"

***

"Who do you think it is?" Harry asked Ron a few hours after the announcement.
"They are from St.Mungo's, so do you think it could be Neville's parents," Ron whispered.
"Um, maybe," Hermione said. "I thought it would be someone else."
"Who," Harry and Ron said at the same time.
"I'm probably wrong anyway. I'm tired now; I'm going to go to sleep. Good Night."
"Night Hermione," the boy's said.
As soon as she went out of the common room Harry looked at Ron.
"What was that about?" He said.
"I have no idea," Ron said. "She's nearly never wrong, but why didn’t she want to say?"
"Maybe she was told to keep it quiet."
"Or something's going on. But she does have a point; the food's made me sleepy, I think I might turn in. Good Night Harry," Ron said climbing up the staircase to the boy's dormitory.

Harry was left alone in the common room, with a few people younger than him. He began flicking through his animagi book that made it seem simple. After a while, he got bored and decided to go to bed.
It had been a tiring day but the journey was nearly over. Memories from the past would be coming, changing the world Harry lived in.


Le Finish. Or maybe not. Hmm, nope. End of chapter, that's more like it. More to come soon, not sure when though. Tommorow or The Day After Tommorow *insert, um, post*

I know who's coming back...
