Chapter Two: A Strange Meeting
MI6 Headquarters Amelia's POV
I walked into my office to find it exactly as I left it except for the envelope on my desk. This was normal procedure but something seemed different…wrong even, seriously wrong. Little did I know that my whole world was about to be turned upside down?
Inside the envelope was a picture of a man I was supposed to meet – apparently he had some info on where the Golden trio would be next – I might finally get a break in this case – the year of hard work might finally pay off, but I shouldn't get my hopes up because seriously this guy looked like Gandalf from Lord of the Rings he even had the long white beard to go with it. Anyway the meeting is arranged for 3 am in Manchester United locker room – well that's a very weird place to meet – maybe he is a footy fan - oh well Better get a move on its already 2:30

Twenty minutes later and I was walking into the locker room. It took me a minute to realise that I was alone, which is odd, considering that these guys always arrive early. So I decided that I would give them ten minutes then I was walking out of here and back home to my lovely warm bed.
Exactly ten minutes later in walked my meet, the guy that looked like Gandalf. But what surprised me was that he was followed in my a guy dressed in black I guess you would call it robes, and another guy who looked as if he only had one set of clothes and a lady who reminded me of a cat. Before I could react in any way Gandalf spoke "good evening miss Brown, I am sorry that we have had to meet under these circumstances but it appears there was no other way. My name is professor Dumbledore, and these are my colleagues Professors Snape, Lupin and McGonagall"
My mind was going into overdrive – how did I get myself into this mess. This was supposed to be a one on one meeting with the Gandalf guy and now I was seriously out numbered with no way out except through them – well done Amelia, very well done. And what was with the fake names I mean harry potter characters come on no one in their right mind would believe them, I decided to get straight to business. "hi, well as its so late lets get straight down to business, your note said that you had information about the group I'm tracking – the self proclaimed Golden Trio. So what have you got for me"
"ah yes before we get to that why don't we go somewhere more private" replied Gandalf. Mmmm I may be exhausted but how stupid do they think I am – I wasn't going anywhere with these guys. "I don't think so here is good enough, now you said you had information either share it with me or I am walking out of here"
The man in black laughed, "see I told you it wouldn't work" now I'm really suspicious. "Now, now Severus, there is plenty of time yet" part of my brain realised that they even used the first names of the alias's they were using, but I was more concentrating on how I was going to get out of there, I had my guns of course and a knife, but I now understood the reason for the robes unpractical they might be but I couldn't tell what weapons they hid – man I was screwed. I wrapped my hand around my gun as I spoke "ok this is your last chance to tell me whatever it is you wanted to, other wise I'm leaving."
This time it was the cat lady who spoke "miss brown, will you please just come with us it is not safe for us to talk out here." "uh-huh, I have heard that one before, now if you will excuse me I must be on my way" to my surprise they started to move, I started to walk forward only to realise they were not moving out of the way, they were coving the exits, not that I really expected them to move out of my way, but this showed that they meant business, one even pulled out a stick ha what's he going to do whack me with it. "I am afraid that you can't leave yet, miss brown, its not safe".
I wasn't really listening to what he was saying, but I was already pulling out my guns when I replied "oh and I guess your going to tell me that I will be safer with you, well thanks for the offer but as you can see I can take care of myself" and with that I started to empty my rounds only watch the four of them instantly disappear from my sight. I whirled around trying to see where they went, but they were nowhere to be seen. I let out a breath that I hadn't realised I was holding. I was shocked. How the hell did they do that and more importantly what the heck were they going to tell me. I don't know how long I stood there but I realised that I should probably get moving, I decided to head back to the office as I had to report this then try and figure out who those people were but first I was going to need a coffee – lots of coffee.

This was not going very well, Miss brown was to suspicious of us and Severus was doing nothing to help the situation. I motioned for lupin to try and talk to her. "I am afraid that you can't leave yet, miss brown, its not safe". I could see right away that this didn't help us at all, as Miss brown got really mad and started to pull out her guns, we knew she would have them on her. I personally didn't think she would be so quick to use them, but if she did the plan was to apparate back to HQ because magic is no use against those little bullets. Amelia yelled "oh and I guess your going to tell me that I will be safer with you, well thanks for the offer but as you can see I can take care of myself". We all saw what was going to happen and we everyone else left before Miss brown had finished yelling, but I apparated behind her.
I couldn't understand where we had gone wrong; we had done nothing to make her think we meant here any harm. Why didn't she listen? I was cut off from my thoughts when Miss Brown whirled around, (thankfully I learned when I was a lot younger how to make myself invisible) eyed looking for us. I saw her breathe a sigh of relief and I realised where we had gone wrong, we had cornered her – made her feel trapped, not by what we had said but in our actions, we had blocked her escape and then talked about taking her with us. Anyone else would have listened but she wasn't just anyone – she was a trained agent and we made her feel threatened. I waited until she left, I hoped she would go home and get some sleep, but I knew better she would go to the office, write down what happened then try to figure this out. I then realised that I had to get moving, no doubt the others had made it back already and they would be wondering where I was. Besides I needed to talk with a few people, if Miss brown was to join us then we would have to go about this another way.
