The cool wind felt good on his burned skin as Harry, Lupin and Moddy made their way down Privet Drive. As soon as the two ex-teachers invited themselves in to tea, made his aunt and uncle uncomfortable and got his stuff from up stairs they went on their way. Number 12 Grimmauld Place or The Burrow, he wasn't sure. Either would be nice.
The walk was silent except for a few words mumbled between Moddy and Lupin. The awkwardness of the company drove Harry insane. Though he spent most of his summer in silence, it annoyed him more because he was with people he liked and admired.
They hurried down the road till the playground was in view. The wind rocked the swings back and forth and the creaking and whining of the seesaw made no sound in the thickly heated night time air. Harry followed the two to a part of the park that was isolated and unseen.
"We're apparating, aren't we," he asked disappointed. Its not that he didn't like to do it, it just that it wasn't very pleasant and left him feeling queasy and dizzy.
"We have to," Lupin stated, "The ministry has collected and locked up as many portkeys as possible. They are arresting anyone who creates or has one in their possession." Harry was astonished by the news.
"A bit over doing it, I think." Moody coughed noisily into his hand. Harry was just thinking the same thing. Out of routine, Harry held on to Lupin.
"Ready Harry?" Lupin looked down at Harry who gave a nod. Soon the feeling of being squeezed alive and suffocation overwhelmed Harry once again. The air spun around them shoving his body against Lupin's. (A/N: No, Harry isn't going to like lupin. I'm just writing what happens.)
The spinning feeling soon left as he felt gravity return back to normal. Harry stumbled to the ground since feeling was lost from his legs. He has apparated before, but it was a whole school year ago.
A crash and a bang snapped the boy out of his thoughts. His surroundings were completely different. Not a friendly boring neighborhood around Privet Drive, but black, dirty and dank. The doleful houses loomed over head, windows like eyes and porches like teeth. Silence still hovered over the company as they went down the street. Harry counted the house numbers as they went by.
Number 25, 24, 23... Clunk... Clunk...
Moody's fake leg shook the night. It was almost haunted.
Number 22, 21, 20... Clunk... Clunk...
Harry's nerves were screaming, calling for him to run. The hair on his neck stood on ends and his palms sweat. Harry was confused at this. Was it because he was too alert and that the scary surroundings made him uneasy, or the clunking of Moody in the dead silence? Harry tried to calm down. Maybe it was a dream and that Lupin and Moddy will turn into monsters covered in blood with matted fur and red eyes. The thought seemed logical until he tripped slightly and stubbed his toe on a hard but blunt object. Cursing at his clumsiness and wincing in pain, his hypothesis was proven false.
Number 19, 18 17... Clunk... Clunk... Clunk...
Why wont it stop? Was he going insane? No, Harry's mind was as stable as a positive at the moment. Maybe it was the silence, but why does the clunking get louder?
Number 16, 15, 14... Clunk... Clunk... Clunk...
He never realized how far 12 Grimmauld Place was. It seemed like forever to get this far. Lupin must have sensed Harry's uneasiness and smiled softly.
"Alright there, Harry," he asked pleasantly, breaking the deafening silence. Moody turned his head took look at Harry as well.
"Night's givin' ya the frights?" His gruff and sarcastic voice echoed through the deserted and empty houses. Harry shrugged. Not that they were or weren't, he was just not sure. His body was responding with fright but his mind was as clam as ever. Maybe because of all his little adventures his mind has grown to stay calm no matter what.
"Ah! We are finally here! Thank goodness, I was getting a little tired," Lupin laughed to the other two. They quickened their pace and were at their destination in only a few seconds.

Yusuke Urameshi jogged down the street frantically, looking into every tree in his path. His search for Hiei hadn't been very fruitful for the last few days. After that incident, both he and Kurama have been missing. Yusuke admitted to himself that he has no clue what was going on and even Genkai was dumbfounded. That worried Yusuke so his search for Hiei had been critical.
Yusuke got to the foxes house too late and found his parents and brother dead and the house burning. Then Hiei showed up and he practically picked him and Kuwabara and raced them to another part of town. Before he left the scene he remembered fuzzy monster attacked Kurama, who was oddly in his youkai form. Now, fuzzy demons are of no importance, but if it caused Kurama to transform, it has to be bad news.
"Hiei! Where are you!?" The desperate cry disappeared through the buildings and the nightly sounds quieted for a short second.
"HIEI! KURAMA!?" Again; silence. He kicked a bench with all his might, sending it flying through the air. His frustration just kept growing this summer. Yusuke actually thought about taking this school thing seriously this year, but with this event, the chances weren't so good. Next to that, his mom suddenly got a new boyfriend and they haven't left Yusuke alone all summer. Then there was Keiko up his ass every few seconds and the fact that he hadn't had a mission all break, he was on his last nerve.
Yusuke was at a loss. Only once has he ever felt completely lost and useless, and now, this makes the second. Fear swept over him as he thought about what may have happened to his friends. It wasn't the reikai tentai without Kurama and Hiei. Heck, life wouldn't be if it wasn't for those two.
"Grr... I hate this," he grumbled to himself. A scream filled his lungs.
"GOD DAMN IT! How come every time I need you guys, YOU GO MISSING!?" The cry awoke many unhappy residents. Yusuke continued his way to the park, which was the last place he had to look before retiring for the night.
The park was always the group's favorite place to hang. Either after school, fun little outings Botan dragged them too or by themselves, thinking about this or that. In other words, it was like their own public secret club. Yusuke stopped at the entrance and looked into the black leaves of the trees, hoping to get a small glimpse of those infamous ruby eyes.
It took Yusuke fifteen minutes to call it a night. Beyond the spooky feeling of being watched (probably by Hiei, no less) and the darkness, Yusuke felt like going home and sleeping with the lights on. As he made his way down the pebbled path, with his keen hearing, he could hear whispers from of the path. Curiousity over took his being because, as we all should know, this is Yusuke; he cant help but stick his nose into trouble.
He quietly snuck through the under bush, hiding himself quite well; the saying silent as a bell came into effect once he stumbled over a tree root, grabbed onto a branch to support him, said branch broke with a bone aching crack and then falling into a pile of dried leaves.
Eyes shut and muscles tense, the whispers stopped for several minutes before they once again filled Yusukes ears. He inched his way closer until he could see the people behind some shrubbery. Yusuke almost cried out in shock for he recognized them from the incident a few days ago.
They had long dark cloaks that dragged slightly on the ground, topped with pointed hoods and horrible face masks which hid their identity.
"What was that?" One of the strangers spoke quietly. Yusuke struggled to figure out what they were saying. They weren't speaking japanese obviously.
"It matter not. Anyway. Did you manage to capture the fox?"
"No, Greyback and some of the others are still chasing him. What an annoyance." On of them growled in frustration and seemed to turn a nearby tree into cinders. Only two or three yards away from the pile of ash, Yusuke sighed thankfully. How did they do that? They have ordinary energy levels for ordinary humans, yet this person-this thing, destroyed a tree with a stick and bright lights.
The half breed heard enough and slowly scurried away from the group. Since Hiei and Kurama were no where to be found, Botan was the next best thing. For now though...
"For now... I need sleep... I'll check up on her in the morning." At that, Yusuke jogged down the street back to his house.

Harry was bombarded with hugs and greetings as he entered the dusty old house wearing a smile. As expected, Mrs. Weasley was the first to shower Harry with praises, hugs and even kisses. Soon followed by Ron and Hermione and not to forget Sirius, Harry almost swore that they acted like they haven't seen him in years; it amused him greatly.
From the last time he was here, it has gotten a lot cleaner and less musty. In fact, it appeared a lot more pleasant. Lupin and Moody went into the kitchen whose door was held open by a serious looking Mr. Weasley. He nodded towards Harry, giving him a meek smile, then closing and locking the door shut.
"Probably discussing some big important order stuff," Ron stated, noticing Harry's questioned look towards the door.
"I swear," Hermione's voice chirped up, "you are the densest boy I've ever met. It's obvious that they are going to discuss Harry's dream." Ron rolled his eyes and Hermione's glare was like daggers. Hostility seeped off the girl. Harry and Ron backed off and decided to take a short walk around the mansion. Once they were out of Hermione's keen ear shot Ron started off thier conversation with the most obvious statement he could ever make.
"Crazy, that one is." The two laughed their way down the halls, talking about their summers, assignments and the new school year. Nothing made Harry happier than talking about magic and friends without being looked at funny or scolded.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Lupin, Moody, Dumbledore and Mr. Weasley sat around and old rickety wooden table. The four sat in silence before Lupin spoke.
"A Japanese Silver fox apparition."
The walk was silent except for a few words mumbled between Moddy and Lupin. The awkwardness of the company drove Harry insane. Though he spent most of his summer in silence, it annoyed him more because he was with people he liked and admired.
