The Midnight Train
The midnight train-a phantom ride that unfailingly arrives at the stroke of twelve-is the preferred choice for those journeying to the remote Sydney Islands. It glides through the fog, its whistle echoing like a ghostly wail in the dead of night. "Hey... don't board that train," whispers an old station master, his eyes shadowed with secrets. "It's dangerous." "But why?" you ask, curiosity piqued. His voice lowers to a trembling hush. "Some things can't be spoken... and some truths are too dark to be believed." What sinister forces lurk in the shadows of the midnight train? What happens to those who dare to step aboard? Some say it's a one-way ticket into the unknown... but no one who has taken that journey has ever returned to tell the tale.

Death's Chosen Child
When Harry's name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, he is livid. He didn't bloody want to join a deadly tournament, but it seems like no one believes him, so he swears a wizarding oath. Now everyone believes him, but he still isn't excused from the tournament. Almost on the point of wanting to give up on his magic, Death interferes because Death's chosen child can't lose his magic. **** ''This is why you are going to be perfect.'' Death almost croons, making Harry blush. ''If you're going with me to train, you will be back in no time. Time travels differently in my realm.'' Harry nods. He suspected something like that. ''Then I will go with you to train. It is only fair. The others are older and have more experience.'' ''Harry, no!'' Dumbledore exclaims, but Harry knows it is too late. Death is already grasping his arm, and then everything turns dark around him. !Disclaimer!

Before the Storm
"Go." She said, not quite yelling but suddenly intense as she herded Harry back, away from the pillar and towards the tracks. "Go now, boy, or you'll miss your train!" He looked behind his shoulder, there was a train....he hadn't heard it approach. The doors were open and waiting, and for no good reason at all, he stepped inside. The strange little woman didn't follow him on, she simply stood there watching him. that same incomprehensible smile on her face. "Which path will you choose?" She asked again, just before the doors closed, replacing his view of her with his own, pale reflection. !Disclaimer!
