[written/action]- I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.

[his_nemesis]

Excuse me? My name is Harry Potter and I believe I am quite lost within this castle. I have just arrived and to be truthful, I have no idea how I came to be here. Ron? Hermione? If you can here this, I'm sitting at the top of a grand staircase within the castle. If by some chance, I Apparated here without meaning to, then I don't know what has happened. [He was now scratching furiously into the journal given to him. It was parchment and he was worried and rather lost. He wasn't going to ask questions as to how it came into his being. He felt like he was holding some kind of magic parchment. Not unlike the Marauder's Map.]

If anyone is seeing this or hearing this, I would appreciate some help. What is this castle and where am I? This isn't Hogwarts, I know that much. [He bit the top of his quill, sucking on it in thought. Why did these sort of things happen to him and no one else? The last thing he remembered was sitting and talking to Ron and Hermione within his godfather's home at Grimmauld Place.]

If anyone can help, I will be most grateful.

[Harry please still have your DA coin still with you. Hermione furiously makes a spell with hers that will read as follows]

Harry, this is Hermione. Give me your location. Use the coin.

[his_nemesis]

[Oh, he still has it, Hermione. Buried deep in his trouser pocket but he still has it.]

Hermione? You're here too. What's going on? [He fumbled around in the seat of his trouser pocket and pulled out the fake Galleon. He flipped it around in between his thumb and forefinger, whilst thinking about Hermione's words.]

The DA coin? Alright. [He sent off the location of where he was and hoped that she could find him.] I'm near the entrance hall if that helps too.

[courageous_wit]

[no sooner does she read that, Hermione Apparates. And all it takes is a glance to see that this is her Harry. There is relief on her face and she throws her arms around him, squeezing tightly. Some things don't need words]

[his_nemesis]

[Harry felt the blast of cool air, as Hermione Apparated close by and before he knew it, he was being hugged. A smile spread over his confused face, as he held her close. It felt odd though, only being with her hours ago in Grimmauld Place. For him anyway.]

Hermione. It's good to see you again. Although, we were sitting down at the kitchen table with Ron at Grimmauld Place, just moments ago.

[courageous_wit]

[she pulls back, beaming at him. The smile fades a bit when he mentions Grimmauld Place. Okay, Hermione... Let's think. That means he's behind her, but how far behind?]

Harry, this is going to sound very odd, but can you tell me exactly what we were doing there?

Written

[wizard_redfive]

Wow, you came back fast.

[And what horrible timing too.]

My name is Dairine Callahan, in case you don't remember me. I'm a friend of Hermione.

Re: Written

[his_nemesis]

Excuse me? What do you mean? I only just got here. [He was now frowning deeply, his brows knitting together in confusion. Who was this person who seemed to know him?]

I'm sorry, I don't remember you. How do you know Hermione and myself?

Written

[wizard_redfive]

This time, yes. But you also just left last week.

It's a long story. Basically, I met her here a year or so ago and then met you a few months ago, though you probably won't remember it.

Re: Written

[his_nemesis]

I..left? You have to be confusing me with someone else, since I've never been here in my entire life. Maybe there was someone who looked like me? [How else could he explain it?]

I really don't understand how you could have met me, since I've not been in this castle before.

[nottallerordead]

I'm sure Hermione will be around to help you out any second now. In the mean time, any questions I have actual answers to? This place is called Paradisa, but that's all I've got.

Re: written;

[his_nemesis]

Hermione is here? Do you know if a boy called Ron Weasley is here too? [Right now he was so confused. What was new in his life? It seemed confusion seemed to follow Harry around more than he'd like to admit.]

The castle itself is called Paradisa? As in paradise? Do you know how I got here exactly? I was sitting within my godfather's house before I came here.

written;

[nottallerordead]

Yes, I don't know, Yes, Presumably, Magic.

I was at my parent's house.

Re: written;

[his_nemesis]

You were at your parent's house before you were brought here? Why does the castle seem to take people from their own worlds and bring them here?

[Written]

[aphoenixsong]

You were brought here, Harry. It is good to see you.

Re: [Written]

[his_nemesis]

Brought here by whom, sir? [Also, he will now be staring with wide eyes at you. You were dead not a year ago. Killed by none other than Severus Snape.]

Sir....I...it is good to see you too. [He didn't want to ask if he had been dead, since Harry doesn't know what point in time Dumbledore is from.]

[aphoenixsong]

The castle, perhaps? I have not met any of the so-called "higher powers". [Oh yes, he recalls.

Albus gives him a warm smile, waiting patiently for him to ask what's on his mind.]

Do you have any inquiries I can answer?

[his_nemesis]

I barely know where to start, sir. [There were questions about the Horcruxes. Now that Dumbledore was alive again, perhaps Harry could gain extra help in destroying them? But then, would that be destroying his own timeline out of the castle? His head ached.]

Besides the castle and all it's questions, there are the Horcruxes. I suppose I am forbidden to ask you for any help on destroying them or the locations? Since, we are no longer in our own worlds, does asking you questions count? I mean.....I don't know. [Ungh. He wasn't very good with time stuff.]

We found the Locket. We're just in the process of getting it back and destroying it. [He had to tell Dumbledore. Give him some kind of feedback. He would be happy, wouldn't he?]

Dictated

[hard_talker]

Hey, welcome back to Castle Wonderfuck. Name's Mark, I'm a friend of Hermione's.

Re: Dictated

[his_nemesis]

Castle Wonderf-? [He just stares and smirks.]

I've only just arrived. You must be mistaken, as I've never been here before in my life.

actually oops I think we're still on written? maybe?

[hard_talker]

Actually, you just were ... only you were younger, and you don't remember it because it messes with your memory. Hence: Wonderfuck, or as the more boring people call it, Paradisa.

Re: Yeah, he's staring at the words and smirking :D

[his_nemesis]

I was? How is this place Paradise?

Action / Dictated.

[lupinotuum]

[ Remus is only just making his way up to his room after taking a short walk in the forest when a familiar name sounds from his journal. The voice sounds substantially older than it had before he had left, but it was still familiar and Remus had to smile a little. When Harry had been here before, Remus had become quite fond of him -- especially after figuring out just who Harry's parents were. Evidently the castle had decided to bring Harry back.

Now if it only saw fit to bring Sirius and James back, too...

Nevertheless, he pulls his journal out of his pocket and flips it open. ]

Hello again, Harry.
Err ... you probably don't remember me, as the castle has a bit of a habit of wiping the memories of returning residents, but I am Remus Lupin and this is Cair Paradisa.

Re: Action / Dictated.

[his_nemesis]

[Harry just stared, as he read the words on his journal. Remus Lupin? He was here too? Perhaps there was a chance that Sirius and James might be here too. Harry's heart leapt into his mouth for one moment. Maybe this was paradise after all.]

Professor? I don't remember seeing you here, no. I've only just arrived. But I do remember seeing you at Grimmauld Place last time with the Order. I've already met Hermione. She has told me a little about this castle. [He stared back at the journal and wanted to meet up desperately.]

Can we meet up somewhere and talk?

Re: Action / Dictated.

[lupinotuum]

[ Professor? Ah, right. Hermione had told him that he'd become a teacher at Hogwarts in the future... ]

Ah ... [ A short chuckle. ] I'm not a professor yet, Harry. Just Remus is fine.
Grimmauld Place? That's Sirius' home, isn't it? I'm afraid I've never been there before in my life and I can't say I'd be very willing to visit it in the future.

[ He's a little curious by that request and how urgent Harry seemed about it. He had absolutely no qualms, however. He was curious to see how much Harry looked like James now. ]

Of course. Where are you?

Re: Action / Dictated.

[his_nemesis]

You're not? Oh. [Harry was a little taken aback. What other secrets did this castle hold? He was curious to see what Lupin looked like now. Was this before he became a professor?]

Yes, Grimmauld Place is Sirius's home and the headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix. [He knew he shouldn't really be saying this, but this was Remus. He could trust this man. No matter what age he was.]

I'm at the top of a grand staircase. Just before the entrance hall of the castle.
