Well, one day I came up with an idea. I've been trying to start this story
for about three months. I decided about ten minutes ago to post the
prologue. I hope it wasn't a bad decision.
DISCLAIMER: The only thing I own so far is the plot (it'll show up eventually), but there will soon be characters that I own. Just not yet.
Lost in Time - The Moonlight Patrol
By Silver Wolf
Prologue - Hogwarts, 1996
"Hermione, I'm sure he'll be fine," Ron Weasley said reassuringly to his girlfriend. "It's not like Harry's never gone outside alone before."
"But Ron," Hermione Granger protested. "He's been acting weird all week. The last time he acted like this, as you may remember, led to him almost being kidnapped by Wormtail."
Ron frowned. "Maybe we should go and find him."
The two Gryffindor sixth year Prefects left the Common Room and went to find their friend Harry Potter. The first place they went was outside the castle by the Lake, where Harry usually went when he wanted to be alone.
As they reached the Lake, they saw Harry sitting not too far away from the Forbidden Forest at the edge of the Lake with a sad, but thoughtful expression on his face.
"See," Ron whispered. "He's fine. We may as well go back inside."
As they were about to leave, there was a sudden flash of bright silver light, momentarily blinding them. When the light faded, Harry was gone.
Hermione and Ron looked at each other in horror. Then they ran back to the castle to tell Dumbledore what they had seen.

"Miss Granger, Mr Weasley, the Headmaster is extremely busy at the moment," Professor Minerva McGonagall said to the two students in exasperation. "I doubt he would want to be disturbed."
"But Professor, it's about Harry."
Hearing Hermione's worried and scared tone of voice, Minerva looked at her curiously. "Is it really that important? Couldn't you just tell me and leave the Headmaster in peace?"
"I suppose so," Ron said doubtfully.
"You see Professor, Ron and I were worried because Harry had gone somewhere, and he's been acting odd all week. He was out by the Lake, and we didn't want to disturb him. We were about to leave when there was a flash of silver light. When it faded, Harry had disappeared."
Minerva was shocked. "I think we should disturb the Headmaster after all."
She led them to Dumbledore's office and said the password. She knocked on the door.
"Do come in, Minerva," he called through the door.
"Headmaster, Miss Granger and Mr Weasley have just witnessed an event that you might be concerned about."
"Oh? Please explain, Miss Granger."
Hermione described what she had seen with as much detail as she could. When she was finished, Dumbledore looked very worried.
"I've never seen or heard anything like that before in my life," he mused. "I do, however, believe that viewing the scene of the event would be prudent."
Even though Dumbledore, Ron, Hermione and Minerva searched for hours, as well as quite a few other people searching later, the only thing they found was a large, silver lightning bolt shaped mark on the ground.
Please review and tell me what you think! But no flames, please? See, I asked nicely. It is possible for me to do so.
