Brie ran as fast as she could, barely knowing where she was going. When she reached a dead end she leant against the wall and as more tears freed themselves from her eyes she slid down the wall, pulling her knees to her chest she cried...

Back to the girls

"Wake up Lils!" Cassy moaned, trying to force her 'dead to the world' friend to get up.

Then Cassy got impatient and after hitting Lily with a pillow she went down stairs to try and find Brie and get some breakfast.

As she got an orange from the kitchen she looked out of the window into the garden, all three of the boys were sitting on the bench, Sirius was in the middle and he looked quite upset. But she thought nothing of it, though she felt safer knowing where the boys were.

Trying not to dribble orange down her favourite top Cassy wandered round the house trying to find Brie but to no avail. By now Cassy had lost her good mood that oranges give her (A/N hehe, sorry, just wanted to put that in) and was sure that the boys had kidnapped her then gone off and left her to play in the garden.

She jogged back to her room and found Lily just stretching...still with her pyjamas on

"So your now with the living again I see" Cassy said in an impatient voice. She tapped her foot and crossed her arms as Lily gave her a tired look and under Cassy's fierce gaze she started to went into the bathroom to get changed and do her teeth.

After that they both walked down one of the many corridors as Cassy told Lily that Brie was missing again.

They fist went to the garden where the boys were still sitting

"Ok where is Brie?" Lily said calmly

James looked up at them and frowned

"We don't know, now go away Evans!" He said irritably

Cassy glared at them

"We know you have her, she wouldn't have just left without saying something now would she!?" She said coolly

Remus stood and faced her

"We don't know where she is now go away"

"Not until you tell us where she is!" Cassy yelled in his face

Suddenly the pair found them selves being dragged away, Cassy was now over Remus's shoulder screaming bloody murder and Lily's wrist was being pulled with dramatic force.

When they got inside Remus carefully dropped Cassy on the sofa and yanked on Lily's arm so she fell next to Cassy.

"We don't know where she is but earlier she was with Sirius in the garden, then she ran into the house and now who knows where she is" He said calmly, standing over the girls.

"I will, you still can't get into the library can you Lupin, but we can, which means we have the upper hand, so bye, we need to find our friend!" Cassy said as she pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose, standing face to face with him. She then turned on her heel and walked out, Lily following close behind.

As Remus walked back to the garden he muttered to himself

"If only she knew how cute that stupid pushing the glasses thing is"

The girls

So they got to the library because Cassy thought she could find Brie using something very special in there.

The room had high ceilings and as too many books to read in a lifetime, but on one wall was a map the size of the whole wall, it was old and a little bit torn.

"It's a map of the house isn't it?" Lily asked the obvious question as she gazed open mouthed at it

"Yes, and it is going to help us find Brie" Cassy answered as she pulled a tall ladder towards the map, she climbed up and started to search the map

"This map will show us where someone is, it's like that stupid map the boys have of Hogwarts, remember? The one we stole in 3rd year? I still hate them for turning our hair nasty colours until we gave it back. You search the bottom, and I'll search the top" Cassy told her, sounding sour as she remembered what they had done to their hair.

After about 10 minutes Lily cried out in celebration

"I've found her!" She pointed at the dot which was Brie

Cassy slid down the ladder and gasped in horror as she saw where brie was.

"We have to go! That's the forbidden side of the house, you know I said the house was built by dark wizards? And how my parents had 'tried' to get rid of the spells and stuff...well they haven't finished going over the house! That part is still full of dark magic!!"

Lily put a hand over her mouth and they both ran out as fast as they could.

But as soon as they left the room James and Remus were waiting, they were leant against either side of the wall

"Hi girls" James said cheerily

"We don't have time for this" Lily said urgently and the tried to run past the boys. But they stood in their way

"Brie's in trouble now move!" Cassy yelled trying to push Remus away

"How?" Sirius said, now coming round the corner

"We're not going to tell you lot!" Lily screamed

"We won't move until you tell us why she's in trouble!" Lupin spoke calmly as he took a step towards Cassy.

Cassy walked forwards and put her wand to Remus's throat

"Move right now before I blow your head off Lupin, our friend could die if we don't get to her!" She said in a deadly voice, her eyes darkening with anger.

The boys put their hands up and moved to the side. Both girls ran past them and Cassy lead the way around a corner.

"We are going to follow right?" James asked them?

"Hell yes" Remus said and they started to follow the girls footsteps.

Where we left Brie...

Brie cried for what seemed like an age before she was able to stand. She let the tears fall down her face as she looked out of the window, a storm seemed to be brewing, dark clouds were moving across the sky. She touched the window as she leant out to get a better look. But a sharp electric shock flew through her arm and she recoiled in shock. As she stared out the window lightening strikes fell from the sky and the thunder made her jump back.

Something wasn't right, the storm was approaching too fast. She turned to leave but an invisible force stopped her by throwing her down the hall, her back hit the dead end and she moaned in pain. Standing up she took out her wand and tried to spell the force away but nothing worked. Instead her wand flew out of her hand and down the hall way, past the force. She started to panic as she leant against the wall.

She pressed herself up against the force and screamed for help but no one came. She could not see a way out...but then she heard a creak of a door opening, she turned to see a dark shadow silhouetted in the door frame. A deep chuckle came from the shadow

"What is a young girl doing in a place like this?" The man spoke with a silky tone, as if her were trying to talk to a small child. He stepped forwards. His shoes, the thunder and Brie's breathing now the only sounds.

"Who are you?" Brie asked in a scared quiet voice

The man chuckled again and he stepped closer. He got so close that he was able to reach out and touch her cheek

"Mudblood. A mudblood in my house. I will not stand for this!" He yelled.

Then everything went dark for Brie.
