Fortunate Rescue
"Severus! Severus are you there?" Albus Dumbledore's voice echoed off the stone walls of Severus Snape's quarters. A teenager ran into the room and spotted Dumbledore's face in the fire.
"Hi Albus! Is everything ok?"
"Good Afternoon Phoenix, is Severus here?"
"No, sorry he went out to restock on potions ingredients. Why? Nothing urgent is it?"
"Actually it is rather. The blood wards at Harry Potter's residence have been broken. He is in great danger."
Phoenix looked worried and ran a hand through her hair.
"Oh my God. I don't know when he'll be back. In fact I don't even know where he went" She thought for a moment, then: "I know! I'll go to his house and bring him back here to Hogwarts!"
Dumbledore looked shocked: "You!? Phoenix, it could be dangerous."
"I know, but there's no-one else. You and Minerva need to stay here and the rest of the teachers have gone home for the summer."
He sighed. "You're right. I'll alert Poppy and we'll be waiting in the hospital wing, bring him there."
"Right. I'll be off then" she said briskly and put her cloak on. Just as she reached the door, Albus called her: "Phoenix!" she turned. "Be careful"
"I will, I promise" she smiled and disappeared from his sight.
