Harry Potter and Time Terror

Chapter 4: Terror at Hogwarts

It was at the early sunrise, when Silvanus woke up, the sun had just risen giving tinge bit of warmth during such cold times. It had been snowing yesterday, he woke up and stretched a little, looking out of the living room window he noticed that harry was removing snow from the front yard, Silvanus yawned, brushed his teeth, and went out to help Harry, when he reached him, he was very quite and did not notice Silvanus standing next to him, Silvanus was afraid for he thought harry might back off out of the mission, he tried to start a conversation by saying , " So.... it snowed yesterday, no wonder I slept like a dog", Harry's mouth curved in a little smile, he looked at Silvanus and said, " How is James now... in your world?", Silvanus could see that Harry wanted the truth, his eyes were now locked with Silvanus, feeling caught Silvanus said, " H-He.. is not doing better.... When father got to know about what Alexis was upto, he was the first to go and talk to her....but she refused and tortured him and her father albus, luckily a ministry officer was called by Lena.. albus's wife and they rescued both of them but Alexis escaped, both of their memories are affected severely, and they have major wounds which are not likely to heal" while saying this Silvanus broke down to tears, Harry moved closer to him and gave him a hug, Silvanus was feeling awfully relaxed as if a very heavy load had been lifted.

Ginny and James had now been awake, everyone was having breakfast, a door bell rang shrilly, Ginny got up a went to open the door, Ron and Hermione were standing outside, Ron entered inside and quickly came and sat near the table and started making a cheese sandwich, however Hermione was talking something with Ginny near the door, both of them were smiling of some reason. After a few minutes they sat down to have some bread when an owl came and perched itself onto harry's shoulder, Silvanus smiled at the sight of it but other round the table were not so happy looking at it, Harry lifted the owl and untied the note tied to its leg and opened it, he read it for a few minutes and with sorrow and terror in his eyes he place the letter at the centre of the table, Silvanus looked at it and it read,

Minevra McGonagall,

There has been an attack in the school, come quickly, media and parents are not informed. You must come quickly it is not safe here, children and teachers are traumatised, please come quickly.

Silvanus lifted his head after reading the letter, and saw Harry, Hermione and Ron were scurrying to the door, Ginny said to harry, " Be safe, dear and come back all of you, I don't want to see it anymore", bringing herself to tears, harry walked upto her and said, " We will never leave you, even if we were dying, I'll be safe, and you try be brave, and what has ever happened to us when we were all together, see you soon" and all of them started to walk, Ron said, " Hang on we can't drive till there!!", " Ofcourse we can't, we have to fly" said harry, Ron and Hermione's eyes widened in shock, Silvanus was dumbstruck by listening to it, it had been written by a famous photographer colin creevy that Harry and Ron once arrived in the school with a flying car, before they could decide anything else, they were already in the car, the car was the world famous Volkswagen Bentley, as Silvanus saw, He was good with cars.

Harry gave the car a start, it cackled but went down, after two ignitions, the engine sputtered and the car jerked forward and the ancient car started, after giving enough gas to the car Harry pushed a black button next to the radio, Hermione and Silvanus were sitting at the back and Ron and harry in the front, " Last time we did this, things turned out to be pretty dreadful" said Ron, "Don't worry, it's safe", the car was now invisible to anything.

"Couldn't you find any other transportation?", asked Hermione,  "We can't take floo powder, because if anything happens at Hogwarts, the castle is immediately closed to any transportation, and we can't apparate within Hogwarts" said harry, Silvanus had now understood that Hermione suffered from Acrophobia, the fear of heights, " Just, don't look down, think of yourself as floating in fast water" said Silvanus, Harry raised his eyebrow, " My father told me that" said Silvanus slightly blushing,  "Thank you" said Hermione without looking at him.
