Dumbledore came out into a room that seemed to look nothing more than an empty room. The room was large with windows on either side of the fireplace and they ran the length of the room to the door at the other end. As the others arrived; Tonks falling in an undignified lump.

Dumbledore looked at the only other figure in the room a girl who looked to be about 16, she was of average height, but just looking at her anybody could tell she was a Snape. She had black hair that fell to the small of her back that was moving with her and that's when everyone noticed that she was playing the violin and quite beautifully. She was small and lithe had noticeably similar features to her father, without the hooked nose, her eyes, however, were quite distinctive silver. She hadn't moved as they ventured further into the room except with the swaying of the violin music, she either hadn't noticed them or did not care. The wait was short before she acknowledged them as the song on the violin finished she put the violin on the small stand in front of her.

"Dumbledore what is it that you want you do know you are not welcome in this house." After hearing this statement the others in the room looked affronted apart from Dumbledore he merely replied.

"We are here on important news concerning" but was interrupted by Lucius.

"Ally we have 20 minutes" Ally as she was now known looked at Lucius for a second before calling out.

"Bach"

A small house elf appeared he was dressed like a butler with what seemed to be a crest on the left breast, the elf bowed low.

"Miss Ally called Bach"

"Yes, get all the other elves here please." the small elf clicked its fingers and five other elves appeared in the room.

"Bach go tell mother that it has happened and to move quickly." Bach disappeared with a click of his fingers. Ally moved to address the other elves.

"Pack up the house like we planned you know what to do, be finished in 10 minutes, go." As Ally finished speaking the elves disappeared and a tall woman came in came carrying a child with three other children following her. The woman had long blonde hair that fell to hips and a piercing silver gaze. Lucius rushed forward and enveloped her in a hug.

"Sister, come we must leave quickly." He plucked the small child out of her arms and gestured for them to follow him.

"Dumbledore they need to know the secret."

"Yes of course." Dumbledore reached into his pocket and pulled out a small piece of parchment and handed it over to Lucius.

"Children you need to read the paper and memorize it okay." He handed the parchment to the youngest in his arms. "Cassius you need to remember the address." The little child no older than four looked up and nodded his silver-haired head, looked at the parchment for a short while before handing the parchment back to Lucius. "Sorrel, Sage, come remember the address."

Two of the children stepped forward they both had blonde hair and dark black eyes. Sorrel taking the parchment before her twin brother could, she glanced over it quickly her black eyes darting across the words before nodding her head and handing it to her twin. He also quickly read it before calling out "Seb."

Dumbledore's eyes glanced over the children and noticed that the one called Seb had not left his mother's side, he seemed to be quite terrified with the way he was trying to hide behind his mother. Ally walked over took the note from Sage's hand glanced at it herself before taking it to her mother and brother.

"Here little brother quickly now," She said as she handed the parchment to him he also had a shock of blonde hair. He quickly read the parchment before handing it to his mother. Once she had read the parchment, she handed it back to Ally who called out.

"Bach" the house elf from before appeared again. "Is it all sorted." She inquired.

"No mistress Ally another couple of minutes."

"Okay, you take this parchment get all the elves to know, where we are going then destroy it and follow us."

"Yes, mistress Ally." The elf said then vanished with a pop.

"You can't just hand out the secret of headquarters out like that, how do you know the elves won't keep the parchment and give to death eaters." Nymphadora Tonks said as she strode forward.

"These house elves are loyal only to the Snape family." A cold voice hissed. Tonks looked to see Lucius sister speaking, she glared at Tonks until she looked away.

"Now, now there's no need for rashness Tonks it's alright," Dumbledore interjected. "We must move I am sure you are all anxious to see Severus," Dumbledore spoke as he gestured towards the floo. As they were all flooing back to headquarters Dumbledore could only think that it was going to be a very tiresome year with the Snape's out of hiding.
