Aundrea's Current Location: Professor Snape's Office

Aundrea sat quietly in the Snape's office as she served her detention an hour before Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Malfoy were to serve theirs. Never had she felt so guilty in her life for not having stopped Malfoy. Anger surged through her body as the Head of Slytherin House walked into the office.

"Follow me," he said to her curtly. Obeying, Aundrea got up from where she was sitting and followed him to the Potions' classroom.

"What am I supposed to do, Professor?" Aundrea asked Snape quietly, staring at the floor.

"You are going to tell me why Isabella has been abusing you," Snape said to her, taking a seat across from her. Aundrea felt her heart speed up as he faced her. Her eyes quickly averting elsewhere, but Snape's intense gaze caused her face to burn.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Aundrea said, fighting to keep her voice steady. Tears burned her eyes, but she blinked them back furiously.

"Lady Anderson" Snape said warningly "Either you tell me the truth, or we'll be here all night."

"In all honesty then," Aundrea said taking a deep breath. "I have no idea why she's been beating me other than I'm out of bed after hours and going to Spira only when I truly need guidance. As Shuyin Summoner, that is a privilege that I was given. I-"

"You do realize that any Hogwarts student that is not a prefect or Head Boy or Girl out of bed after curfew can get into serious trouble right?" Professor Snape said to Aundrea witheringly. Aundrea rolled her eyes.

"Of course, I KNOW that!" she yelled at him, jumping up. "But I'm also Guardian, or have you and your colleagues forgotten?!"

"Sit. Down." Snape said in a deadly voice. Aundrea's eyes burned scarlet as she flipped over the desk against the wall. Filled with a sudden hatred she could not explain, she blasted Snape backwards against the wall and left the room without another word.

Location: Hogwarts Grounds

Aundrea's Current Location: Forbidden Forest

"You will do as I say,"said an icy cold voice to her as she ran to the heart of the forest. "You will find and give me the Stone, Aundrea. Do not fail me, understand?"

"I understand," said the young guardian as she stood facing him. "I will not fail you."

A young boy's scream suddenly bought her out of her reverie as she realized where she was. Where am I?she thought frantically. The last thing I remember was siting in Professor Snape's office...

"Aundrea get out of ther way!" Harry yelled to her. Aundrea looked at her surroundings and realized she was within the Dark Forest. What was she doing here? And how did she get here?

Heart pounding, she looked down see a white unicorn laying on the forest floor dead. Letting out a scream, she felt herself rooted to the spot. The creature drinking the animal's blood stared at her and smiled, silver blood dripping from its lips. Aundrea felt her heart stop r, her knees giving way, and air leaving her lungs, until everything suddenly had gone black.

When she came to, she saw that she was riding on the back of a centaur. Feeling Harry's arms around her, she merely looked up at him, and smiled weakly.

"W-what happened?" she asked him.

"You are safe now, Lady Anderson," said the centaur. "But please realize that drinking unicorn's blood is a monstrous thing to do. That from the moment the blood touches the lips of the one who slayed the beast, they will have a half-life, and a cursed life "

"Why are you telling me this?" Aundrea said wearily as the centaur came back to a stop. "And who are you?"

"Because you must know," said the centaur. "And my name is Firenze."

"Pleasure," Aundrea said, as Harry helped her down. She extended her hand, and the centaur shook it.

"Harry, Aundrea!" cried Hagrid's voice. Aundrea turned so swiftly she felt herself lose balance. Draco Malfoy lunged forward and caught the young girl in his arms. Grateful for his presence for once, Aundrea smiled before fainting once more.

Time: 10:00 am

Location: Hogwart Castle

Aundrea had been sent to the hospital wing after coming back from detention with Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco Malfoy. Surprisingly, the three friends had become quite busy preparing for exams they did not visit Aundrea quite often. Thoough she only been there for a couple of days, the young guardian found herself feeling lonely until an unexpected visitor.

"Malfoy?" she said, sitting up in her bed. Draco Malfoy smiled at her as he sat in a chair on side of her bed.

"Just wanted to make sure you didn't die," he said coolly, crossing his arms as he looked at her.

"Thanks," Aundrea said flatly. "Madam Pomfrey said I should be able to leave today after my test results come back."

"What test?" Malfoy asked, causing Aundrea to shrug.

"Lady Anderson, I have your results," said Madam Pomfrey, who was looking at Aundrea's charts as she walked into the hospital wing. She put her hands on her hips and urged for Malfoy to leave Aundrea. Nodding, he winked at Aundrea before leaving.

"What was that about?" Madam Pomfrey asked curiously, causing Aundrea to turn red in the face.

"I don't know," Aundrea snapped. "May I have my results so I can leave?"

"I'm afraid it won't be so easy," said Madam Pomfrey as Aundrea's parents, Dr. Legolas, the Anderson family doctor, along with Professors McGonagall, Dumbledore, and Snape, who was was in bandages.

"Aundrea, do you remember what happened a couple of nights ago?' asked Dr. Legolas to Aundrea gently as he sat on the edge of her bed. Aundrea shook her head.

"I only remember waking up in the forest," Aundrea said quietly staring at her hands. "After that some centaur picked me up, and carried me along with Harry back to Hagrid. Everything else is a blur..."

"Professor Snape says you attacked him, " said Professor McGonagall, causing Aundrea to sit upright.

"I did no such thing!" she said outraged.

"You see?" Isabella exclaimed to Dumbledore, who smiled at Aundrea. "My daughter is innocent!"

"Everyone, might I and Madam Pomfrey have a word alone with Aundrea please?" said Dr.. Legolas firmly. Dumbledore nodded and left, McGonagall and Snape along with Aundrea's parents following suit.

"Aundrea, your test results revealed that your blood levels were very low the other night," Dr. Legolas said to the young girl. "They also showed your magical energy as Guardian and Shuyin Summoner were higher than usual on the dark magic scale."

"And?" Aundrea said in a quiet voice.
"I'm sorry Aundrea, but you've been diagnosed with Guardian shock," said the Doctor calmly. Aundrea felt her heart stop before collapsing back onto the hospital bed.

The week of exams, after extensive training and care Aundrea was released from the hospital wing. She soared through nearly all of her exams, whilst being under careful watch from Dr. Legolas, who agreed to stay behind and help nurse her to full health.

"Thank you for staying." Aundrea said to him after completing her final exam. Legolas nodded and smiled at her before exiting through the portal. Breathing with relief, the young guardian sprinted from her room all the way out onto the grounds, coming to a stop as she reached her friends.

"Hey guys!" she called out them, only to see that they had rushed off to Hagrid's. Feeling her Star scar burn, Aundrea ran after them.
