All Seems Darkest Before The Dawn Cometh
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
Chapter 1
The Hogwarts Express seemed oddly quiet. There seemed to be a lot fewer people on the trains compared to years before.
Sasporilla, Karry and Korry Curtiss sat with Ginny Weasley in a compartment while Kandy sat with the older students in the back of the train.
News spread fast along the train about the death of Mad Eye Moody and the violent escape of Billy Bombaduck. They talked of how the Ministry was changing under the new Minister of Magic Pius Thicknesse who many believed to be a death eater.
Ginny Weasley was much less talkative than usual. She simply didn't want to let slip any knowledge she about the Order.
"All I'm saying," Sasporilla frowned, "is that I've known Billy for a very long time. My whole life really. He has always been a violent dangerous little psycho and with him on the loose no one's safe!"
"We can take him in a duel." Karry said.
"He doesn't duel." Korry said. "He just straight up kills!"
"I've heard Snapes been named Headmaster of Hogwarts this year." Ginny said.
"Oh shoot." Karry said. "This will be a fun year."
"He can't be any worse than Umbridge." Sasporilla said conservatively optimistic.
Zac Zarcazzian slid opened the door to the compartment and stepped inside. Sasporilla Bucket couldn't get over the fact that the small frightened boy she new was now almost six feet tall and looking pretty handsome.
"Zac?" Sassy asked.
"Sasporilla!" Zac yelled grabbing her and pulling her up for a big hug. "It's so good to see you!"
"Look at you!" Sassy smiled. "You're so tall and so skinny!"
"Ya." Zac said. "I've started my growth spurt."
"If this is just a start." Sassy laughed. "Then you'll be nine feet tall by the time you're done."
"You've grown too." Korry said to Sasporilla.
"Yes I've grown all of three inches." Sasporilla said proudly.
"Yes soon our little Sasporilla will be a woman." Karry mocked.
"Really?" Sassy said to Karry. "You're saying this to me? You're just beginning to grow and you're already... well, curvy as your mum."
"Yes I am." Karry said standing up and striking a pose.
"Sit down you fool." Korry laughed.
"Just hope my behind doesn't get as big as Kays." Karry mused.
"Oh ya." Korry said. "Old bubble butt's got a lot of junk in her trunk."
"I always thought it was rather nice." Zac said.
"Zac!" Sasporilla laughed.
The trains breaks came on and pitched the girls into each other and fell into their seats. Zac grabbed the over head luggage rack to keep his balance.
Ginny looked out the window and saw a man dressed in black standing on the track. Death eaters surrounded the train and were coming aboard.
"Death eaters are coming aboard." Ginny said as she stood up and ran out of the compartment to warn the others.
"Ready your wands." Sasporilla said seriously. "But don't do anything to provoke them."
Death eaters moved slowly through the train checking everyone in every compartment and those in the club cars. It was obvious they were looking for something or some one. Once they'd left the compartment Sasporilla Bucket and her friends started to breathe again.
"What do you think they're looking for?" Karry asked.
"Not what." Sasporilla mused. "Who? I think they're looking for some one."
"Probably Harry Potter." Korry said. "He's just been name UNDESIRABLE #1."
"WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HAARY POTTER!?!" The death eater said reappearing suddenly in the doorway.
"Nothing." Sasporilla said nervously but tightening the grip on her wand that sat just out of the death eaters sight at the side of her leg.
"You're lying!" The death eater said stepping in and grabbing the young witch by her pink hair.
"Get your hands off her!" Korry yelled standing and casting "Stupif..."
The death eater physically disarmed him with the back of his hand knocking the young man back into to overhead shelf, banging his head, and knocking young Korry Curtiss unconscious.
"Anything from the trolley dears?" The trolley witch asked pushing her cart into the compartment door and pinning the death eater to the window.
The death eater struggled to get to his wand but couldn't reach it with the candy trolley pressed hard against him.
"You are not a Hogwarts student." The trolley witch said. "Your presence on this train is a security breach. You will be removed."
The trolley witch shoved her cart forward and pushed the death eater through the wall as if it weren't solid, and out into the wilderness. As the trolley was pulled back the witch smiled. "Anything from the trolley dears.
