Welcome everybody! Please enjoy and don't forget to leave a review. I'll really appreciate it. A special thanks to my beta, ForgottenKaze.

Glittering red eyes stared at him coldly. "Hello Harry Potter," the voice belonging to the eyes snarled.
Harry stumbled back a few paces but soon found his back against the wall. "V-voldermort!" he gasped in pain as his scar flared to life.
"I'm so glad you haven't forgotten me. I haven't forgotten what you did to me." He sat and a chair leapt across the room to land underneath him. He motioned and another chair came sliding across the room. "Please have a seat. We have much to discuss."
Harry choose to remain silent, but did accept the seat with much trepidation. Voldemort smiled at him pleasantly but his eyes remained angry. "Do you know the term irony?" He laughed, "Of course you do. You're such a smart boy. Do you know what's ironic? I, the most feared wizard, was taken down by a mere baby." He leaned forward, his body tense with anger, but then all the hatred seemed to flow out of his body, "Do you want hear something else ironic? I'm going to use your mother's 'love', that which defeated me, to destroy you."
The chair Harry was sitting in came to life and the arms wrapped themselves around him. He struggled futilely. A door off to the side opened to reveal Lucius Malfoy. Harry gasped, "Malfoy! I knew you were a Death Eater."
Lucius smiled cruelly, "My Lord, the ceremonial chamber is ready. Everything is going as planned."
"Excellent!" Voldemort stood and glided out of the room, calling over his shoulder, "Bring the boy."
"Yes, my Lord." Lucius turned to Harry with a malicious smile and said, "Mobilicorpus."
Harry's body stiffened and he felt himself being levitated. He tried to struggle, but all he did was tire himself out. He floated behind Lucius into a large room remniscent of the Great Hall.
Voldemort sat cross legged in the middle of the room. A ring of white candles surrounded him. In front of him was a ring of black candles. Harry was dumped inside of them. He immediately tried to get out of the ring, but found some kind of barrier around them. He was trapped.
Voldemort smiled, "Let's begin, shall we?"
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Harry felt an unimaginable amount of pain all over his body. He didn't know if he screamed or not. He didn't know how long it lasted. All he knew was the pain. When the pain finally ebbed away and he was able to descend into the welcoming darkness the last thing he heard was Voldemort say, "Get rid of him, he is no longer a threat to me."
Koenma's hand stopped inches from the paper he was about to stamp. He frowned and placed his stamp off to the side. He read the report written by Emily, one of the ferry girls for Great Britain. He stood up quickly, "GEOGRE!!!"
The blue oni ran into the room at once. He bowed slightly as he said, "Yes, Lord Koenma?"
"I want Emily, Roland, Ethan, Ayden, and Frasier in here NOW!"
George looked at his lord with confusion, "Emily is currently ferrying a soul. And the British Tantei? You sent them to the Makai. Do you want me to bring them back from the mission?"
Koenma took a couple of comforting sucks on his pacifier while he thought. "Get Botan," he ordered.
George nodded and went in search of her. He soon returned with the blue-haired ferry girl. She skipped up to him, smiling happily.
"Lord Koenma, you wanted to see me. Make it fast though there's about to be a fire in Tokyo."
"George, get Hinageshi to cover that fire." George saluted and scurried out of the room. Koenma sighed and stood on his desk, looking down at her. "Botan, I got a report that said there has been a higher number of demons. Powerful demons."
Botan clasped her hands behind her back, "You want me to tell Yusuke to put those demons back where they belong."
"Eh, not exactly. Of course the capture of these demons is necessary, but I also need them to patch up the barrier and see what tore it in the first place."
She nodded, "So they'll have to have an investigation. Is that it?"
Koenma nodded and returned to sitting in his seat. Botan turned to go. "Oh, by the way, this tear is in Britain." He started stamping, intently.
Botan's mouth dropped open and she turned and stared at him, incredulously. "Britain! That's Emily's territory. No way! I'm not doing her job again. What about her detectives?"
"Botan, they're off on another mission. I really need your detectives. They're the best."
She glared at him out of the corner of her eye. "That's true." She sighed, "Okay. Is there anything else?"
"Nope."
She sighed again, "Yusuke's not going to like his summer being interrupted."
"Oh don't worry about that. School doesn't start until September," Koenma replied brightly.
Botan's eye started twitching. Muttering under her breath, she turned and walked angrily out of the room; none of the Japanese Tantei would be happy and they would probably shoot the messenger of death.
Koenma started stamping again. Hopefully the problem could be contained with little difficulty. "George!" he called.
The blue ogre winced when he heard his name being called again, but came at his lord's bidding. "Yes, sir?"
"I need all the information we've got on the wizarding school, Hogwarts. Go. Now!"
George turned around, but couldn't leave immediately. An irate, blonde, ferry girl came barging into the room. She pushed George out of the way and stomped over to Koenma's desk. "My Lord, can you please explain, why Botan is doing my job? Again! I already told you I don't need her help."
"George those files! Emily, please calm down. This mission is so trivial I didn't want to send my best team, who are already on a very important mission." She calmed down slightly. "Seeing as how this is your territory, I need you to do something for me: the groundwork, and most important work, for the mission. Okay?"
She sighed and nodded grudgingly, "Yes, sir."
Harry woke up with a gasp, bolting upright in his bed.
"Harry!"
He turned and saw a blurry image of Hermione. Her eyes seemed to be wide, red, and puffy. Next to her was Ron who had his head down on Harry's bed, asleep. His red hair was wild and disheveled.
Harry searched the bedside table for his glasses as Hermione struggled to wake Ron up. "Ron, Ron, wake up. It's Harry!"
He found his glasses just as Ron woke up, "Wha…Harry!"
"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" Harry asked. He then realized that 'here' was not number four Privet Drive with the Dursley's. As a matter of fact, he didn't know where here was at all.
Hermione's eyes got even wider and she ran from the room yelling over her shoulder, "I'll go get the doctor." As she threw open the door she shouted, "He's awake! Harry's awake!"
Harry watched her leave before turning back to Ron, "Ron, what happened? Where am I?"
Ron stared at him dazedly as if he wasn't sure it was real, "Harry, you almost died."
"Wha—" he was cut of by a mass of redheads entering the room, all talking at once.
"Let the doctor get through!"
"Harry!"
"I'm the doctor. Let me through!"
"Is he okay?"
"The doctor needs to get through!"
"Harry, are you alright?"
"Where is the doctor?"
"Is he really awake?"
"Shouldn't the doctor be here?"
"I thought for sure he was a goner!"
"EXCUSE ME!!!!"
Everyone stopped talking instantly. A short, squat, bald man with a furry gray mustache made his way to Harry's side. "I need everyone out of this room right NOW!!! I need to check on the patient."
Ron touched Harry lightly on the arm before he herded his family out of the room.
"Welcome staff members," Dumbledore greeted. "Are there any pressing matters that need to be attended to before the start of the term?"
"T-there's the obvious matter of H-He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named," Professor Flitwick stuttered, looking around the room fearfully.
"Well that's a given," Minerva stated.
"Yes," Dumbledore agreed amicably. "Anything else?"
"Have you heard anything new about Harry Potter?" Professor Binns asked, dully.
"No, but Arthur Weasley is keeping up to date," he responded.
"Have you chosen the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?" Severus Snape asked with a familiar glint in his eyes.
"Yes, he will be arriving shortly. He's coming from the prestigious school, Reikenki. In Japan."
Scowling fiercely, Severus left the office snarling, "Well I guess that answers my question."
Minerva shook her head almost sympathetically, "Albus how come I've never heard of this school?"
"Do you know of every school in Japan?" he asked with a twinkle in his eye.
She thinned her lips, more out of annoyance than anger.
"Minerva, trust me. I checked this Professor out, thoroughly."
She smiled, "I trust you. We all do." There were various nods and voiced agreements, "What is his name?"
"Professor Roland Williams, he's originally from Scotland—"
"Scotland!"
Everyone turned to see who had screamed. There was an almost synchronized sigh as they saw Professor Sybill Trelawney. She had her hands clasped to her chest and her eyes were blinking rapidly behind her large glasses.
Her voice dropped to a whisper, "Scotland means death."
Dumbledore smiled politely, "What do you mean Sybill?" He could practically feel the waves of animosity being released by McGonagall.
"I've had a prophecy of this." McGonagall snorted. "It said if someone from Scotland were to come it would mean sure death for us all."
"How so?"
She started to shake her head, "No! I cannot repeat what I've heard to your untrained ears. You'll go mad! Please don't let him come."
"I can't. I've already sent the letter." He looked at her kindly, "Sybill is it possible that you are mistaken."
"No!" she screeched. "Albus, I will not stay if you let that man come here."
Minerva perked up, "What do you mean, Sybill?"
She stood up straight and squared her shoulders. "I quit," she said as she turned and fled the room.
There was a moment of silence before McGonagall clapped her hands decisively, "Well let's continue, yes? What precautions should be taken to ensure student safety, hmm?"
Dumbledore sighed when the last of the teachers left his office. He picked up a letter from the Order. He never got around to reading it because there was a sudden flash of green from his fireplace.
He looked up slightly startled. In the green fire was the head of Arthur Weasley.
"Professor, come quick. Harry's awoken!"
Dumbledore stood quickly, "Excellent. I'm on my way."
There was another flash and Arthur was gone. Dumbledore strode over to the fireplace and grabbed some Floo Powder. He waved farewell to Fawkes and stated the hospital. Then he was gone.
Harry fidgeted underneath the intense gaze of Professor Dumbledore. Finally Dumbledore leaned back with a smile, "Everyone was really worried about you Harry."
Harry broke the eye contact, "It's not like I did it on purpose."
There was another uncomfortable silence before Dumbledore asked, "What's the last thing you remember?"
"It was just after dinner and I had gone back to my room. I must have fallen asleep because I had this really weird dream. And then I woke up here."
Dumbledore frowned, "What was this dream about?"
"It was about…I-I don't remember. How long was I gone?"
"Almost two weeks, about twelve days."
"And one day I just showed up?"
"Well, Severus is the one who found you. Barely conscious and incoherent, so it's understandable if you don't remember your dream. Severus was quite upset when he discovered you on his porch, he immediately contacted me and we rushed you here."
"Snape found me," Harry said with a groan, "Great."
"Remus and Moody are informing your aunt and uncle of your recovery. I suspect they'll be quite happy to here it." Harry rolled his eyes. "Do you have anymore questions that can't wait, you need your rest?"
"I guess I'm good for now," Harry said with a yawn.
"Okay. When you wake up, we'll see if the dream has come back to you, alright?"
"Yes sir," he said as he drifted off to sleep.
Fawkes sat in the office by himself for a half hour before a blonde woman suddenly appeared. She wore blue jeans and a pink sweater. Her blue eyes blinked as she surveyed the room she was in.
"Whew. Glad that old guys gone. Now to find that demon," she said.
