Screams and the sounds of numerous curses being cast echoed in the streets of a small muggle village whose name no one knew. Severus Snape wandered about aimlessly. He turned to see an Auror throw a curse in his direction and a flash of red flew past his ear, stunning the cloaked Auror.
"Get down!" a female voice hissed in the old potions masters' ear. Severus Snape complied, ducking behind some rubble, though he felt the killing curse fly just above his head.
"If you're not careful, you're likely to get hit by one of those curses! Now, let's get you out of here, sir." The young woman with an American accent whispered quietly. Severus felt an arm wrap around his waist then, he felt the tug somewhere near his middle and knew that she was apparating them out of there. He felt his knees hit solid ground and his rescuer hissed in obvious pain beside him. He stood up then finally turned to look at the woman. She was just about his height with long fiery red hair just past her shoulders; she stared at him with stunning dark blue, nearly black eyes. She was slim and her black t-shirt clung to a much toned body. She wore muggle jeans with, what appeared to the old Professor, as cowboy boots.
"Severus Snape?" She asked.
"Yes, and who might you be?"
"Alex…Alexandra… Xavier." She replied.
Severus looked around the room, recognizing it as the kitchen of the Black residence, headquarters of the Order.
"Ah, I see you got him Alex." A male voice that Severus recognized commented.
Severus turned to see Remus Lupin leaning against the kitchen door frame.
"Yep, I sure did Remus." Alex replied in her southern drawl.
"Remus, looking…healthy I see."
"Severus, still alive I see. That is, as long as Harry doesn't see you. Alex, take him to the safe house. Severus, Alex will explain everything. Right now, just trust her."
Severus nodded.
"Alright Mr. Snape, we're gonna have to apparate again," she took Severus's arm before turning to Remus, "Well, see ya in a bit Remus."
"See you later Alex. Oh, and Alex?"
"Yeah Remus?"
"Don't let Snape bother you to much."
"Sure Remus." Alex chuckled. She turned to Severus who nodded. Severus once again felt the tug of side-along apparition.
