Somewhere that is Else

Disclaimer: I don’t own them. JK does. And as such she can kill off whoever she chooses. Cow!


AN: Here you go an update. And it’s my own writing too. Finished DH the other day and was all inspired. Still can’t believe she killed off ….. Who she killed off! She found the slash and the Twincest I tell you!
Anyway read, review. Puh-leeeeeeease! Bats lashes. Winning smile! Was thinking that Sirius needed to be getting some seeing as he’s no longer imprisoned, on the run or a dog. Don’t know who to pair him with though.




Chapter 1: A Place That Is Else

[6 months after the ministry incident]


All he remembered was pain.

One minute he was laughing with the euphoric fire of finally, FINALLY, doing something. Anything. Daring that nut-bag cousin of his and the shocking emptiness when she more than met the challenge.

After that it had been eternal seconds of freezing agony. Icy blades of fire, flaying him down to his very core. Then velvet darkness. Blessed stillness.

When he next became aware he was somewhere…other. Not the ministry. No curtain, no Deatheaters and definitely no Harry. It took him two days to regain the will to move and discover that not only was he lost, he was trapped.

He couldn’t shift out of his animagus form!

Shaky. Frightened. He dragged himself to the mouth of the alley that he’d woken in. He had to get back to his godson.

“Oi! Riker check the mutt!”

Great.

Muggles!

“Tsk! He’s in a right state. ‘Mon dog! We’re no’ gonnae hurt ye. C’mere pooch!”

“Kadrin McNamara! I can’t believe you’ve still got that mongrel!” Ashley Thomas exclaimed in exasperation as she eyed the dark form under the kitchen table in disgust. If she didn’t know any better she’d swear the damn thing rolled its eyes at her.

“He’s no’ a mongrel!” Her friend retorted from the Kitchen, where she was cooking their dinner. “He’s a purebred….something or other.”

“Now there’s a ringing endorsement.” Ashley drawled as she turned to accept the heaped plate the brunette offered. “There’s barely room for you in this pokey little flat, never mind that grizzly bear trying to pass itself as a dog… What are you doing?”

“Feeding Grimm.” Came the nonchalant reply as a dish of the same curry she had just been served was placed on the floor and a can of Tennants poured into the bowl next to it.

“Feeding G…. Never mind!” Ashley decided to pick her battles as she reached for her tall glass of iced water and ignored what looked remarkably like a sneer coming from the dog. “He’s proved himself violent. He’s a danger to you and other people.”

Brown eyes blinked over the top of another can of Tennants. Kadrin placed her can on the table with exaggerated care. Her freckled face suddenly fierce.

“My dog is not. VIOLENT!”

“He practically mauled your ex, Mark!”

“After the bastard took a swing at me!” Kadrin yelled leaping to her feet. She glared at the blonde before storming to a hook on the wall and snatching the lead before turning back and pointing a finger at Ashley. “When it comes to a choice between my big, admittedly strange, dog and some abusive tit with a mummy complex. Then I’ll choose ma dog!” the aforementioned beast had abandoned its meal and followed it’s mistress as she stormed to the door. “Ah’m takin’ Grimm for his walk. Lock the door wi’ yer spare key as ye leave!”

“Kadrin wait!”



SLAM




“*sigh* I didn’t mean it like that.”

Kadrin muttered under her breath as she thundered down the street. In the back of her mind a small voice whispered that she was overreacting, but the thing with Mark was still too fresh for her to deal with any mention of it calmly. Her black eye had only just faded away and the fear and pain was still too fresh in her memory. She knew Ashley was just trying to look out for her in her own snooty English way.

She was so preoccupied with her thoughts that she didn’t notice Grimm’s ears perking up as they neared the alley where her brother had found him. Nor did she hear the strange whispers coming from within. But Grimm heard them. And knew them for what they were.

A way home!

If Ashley had turned the corner a moment earlier in her search for her friend she would have been witness to what happened next. She would have seen 5’2” of brunette trying to pit 130 pounds against 300 pounds of determined West Highland Dogasaurus, and losing. She would have seen the flash of light.

But Ashley didn’t turn the corner a moment earlier. And she never glanced into the now empty alley. So she never even noticed the single shoe spinning in the grime there. The only sign that anyone had been there.
