It started with Joshua and a pretty girl called Kimberly Rachel, both sixth year. Joshua was talking about work and asking her how she was doing, when all of a sudden a strange guy appeared out of nowhere dressed in a dark black robe with a hood, the man taunted Joshua and Kimberly.
"Morsemordre!" - within moments the cowled dark mage had formed the dark mark above Joshua and Kimberly's head, this dark mage persisted with taunts and minor spells causing harm to Kimberly, she shook it off and dealed with her wounds. Neither of the pair would play this fools game
The dark robed mage left and in seconds a guy known only to Joshua as "Gramps" appeared out of nowhere. Priggo had joined the three and questioned how Gramps got into Hogwarts, acording to Kimi he had permission to be here and Joshua's enquireys found him to be somewhat or a freelancer or so he said.
Gramps quickly left, and after some time snake like words were heard coming from the corridor, all of a sudden a Basalisk came down the hall, Joshua and Kimi faced it head on, both of them bit off a lot more than they could chew, Albus Dumbledore ended up coming and saving the day felling the beast and speaking the words "This happens all to much"
Dumbledore restored Joshua and Kimi back to health and did a search of the area, within moments Gramps showed up out of no where enquiring as to what was going on and what he had missed Joshua told him of a basalisk and spoke of the event that just passed.
Joshua continued to converse with Gramps and asked him if he could show him one or two charms that he had learned over the years Gramps gladly put on a display turning into a Blue and Red Dragon, and an Iron Golem his abilitys in transfigeration were countless and Joshua was more than impressed.
This time when Gramps left he dropped a tome Joshua aquired the book and found it to be a guide to Parsel tongue and translated the words he heard earlier and found them to be "Open Up, Attack" what was Gramps doing with this book? Joshua showed it to Kimi...
Sure enough Gramps returned looking for something Joshua asked Kimi if he could bluff something and came up with a bogus story about how Dubmledore had found a book and it had prints on it and the Ministry of magic was on there way, Gramps appeared a little nervous, and Joshua and Kimi used this as enough evidence for them to go and see the staff..
Apon entering the Great hall after Kimi had a few rough words with some of the students... Joshua and Kimi now joined my Dravack and Priggo spoke to Professor Snape, he showed snape the book however snape didn't believe there was enough evidence...
In a moment of weakness Kimi snapped and called Snape an old grouch and said he wasn't listening to us because we were not slytherins, within moments she was given a detention, she saw it coming but part of her knew it was worth it to get to say them things to his face.
With Kimi in detention Joshua made his way up the stairs, where he was met by Gramps, Gramps told Joshua that Snape was a Death Eater once, and that no one ever stopped being one, he also told Joshua he was going to keep a close eye on him.
Joshua called through to Madam Prince in the library, and then walked to the first floor, on his way to a Dark Arts class he was already late for, the black robed dark mage appeared out of nowhere and pointed his wand towards Joshua, Joshua froze and didn't know what to do and with a flash of green light he was out cold on the floor.
Some time passed, before the corridor was walked through again, Joshua was stumbled apon by Gramps and Kimi who had just finished detention, a joint effort meant they were both able to carry Joshua to the hospital wing, Madam Pomphrey spend some time trying to revive Joshua and had no such luck.
Eventually she gave up and looked at the clock on the wall "Time of Death 16:21" she left the room, Kimi stood by the bed in disbelief, Dead? no one could believe it just like that... could it be true never to wake up and go to class or go about his daily business ever again.
Gramps approached the bed, and after some thought an idea poped into his head, he spoke a few words and Joshua was raised, he sat up gasping for air, tears streaming down his face who knows what he was going through during that brief time.
Gramps left and Joshua was left, to talk to Kimi, Kimi once Joshua had gathered his breath explained everything including the fact that Gramps had saved him. Joshua didn't know what to think, had Gramps saved him because he was good or to cover that he had anything to do with the death?
Joshua was left to lie in bed, Gramps returned to check up on him, and Joshua apologised however the doubt was still in his mind. He closed his eyes and drifted alseep not taking for granted the fact that last time he was asleep he could of possibly never woken up again...
