She can to Lupin's classroom door and Snape knocked. Lupin came and opened the door. Anne stood a little bit behind Snape, she had an idea and she really hoped it worked.

"Anne was late for my class, and she said she was with you" Snape sneared, "though I highly doubt that"

Anne looked up at Lupin with pleading eyes, she pleaded with him, her hands in prayer form. Snape looked back and she pretended to look innocent, but when he turned back she returned to her former stance.

"Oh...yes...Anne was with me, we had to talk about an assignment I gave her, I will try not to keep her so long next time, I'm sorry for the inconvience, won't happen again" Remus said nodding.

Snape sneered as though he didn't believe that at all, then they left back for class. Anne threw a thankful look at Lupin, and she knew that he would want to know where she was, so she just nodded to him.

"Later" she mouthed, and walked off.



Later that night Anne explained what happened to Remus, and thanked him loads for getting her out of trouble. She returned to her room to sleep, but she found she couldn't. She was thinking of Sirius and how much she missed him, she also really missed James, though she hadn't met him, she loved him just the same. She had an idea, a crazy one, that she knew could get her expelled, if not sentenced to Azkaban, but she just had to do it. She changed quickly. It was still early evening, but it seemed everyone was tired, so they all went to bed early. She slipped into the commom room. No one was there so she transformed and went out into the hallway. She ran out of the front doors, not seeing anyone except Peeves, who caused an uproar about a dog in the school, but before anyone could come she was gone. She ran all the way to Hogsmeade. She then apparted to the ministry of magic. She went to the telephone booth.

"My name is Anne, and I'm here to see my father" she told the phone.

"Thank you, please pin this to your clothes"

A badge can down the coin slot and she read it.

"Family Mission" she read out loud.

She really hadn't expected it to be open, but she went inside. She transformed and ran quickly to the door to the department of mysteries. She swallowed, transformed, and entered. She looked around at the doors, she really hoped it was the right door. She pulled opened the nearest one. It was wrong and she put an "X" on it like Hermione did. The room spun and she tried another door. This was was right, she was surprised she found it so quickly, but she entered. Closing the door behind, she looked around. It looked familier, she ran through the rooms until she found the veil. She took a deep breath and walked toward it. She could hear slight whispers from behind it. She touched it slightly, and it just moved.

"Sirius" she said to it, "Sirius please answer"

She just heard the same whispers. She sat down with her back against the arch. She sat there and thought about Sirius, and James and the rest of the mauraders. She also thought about Peter, and how much she wanted to hurt him and Bellatrix, but she knew she couldn't, and she proabably wouldn't even if she had the chance. She looked around the room and spied a crowbar lying on the ground. She had an idea. If she destroyed the veil no one else would be hurt by it. She picked it up, and swung it in front of her a few times. She took a deep breath, and pulled the crowbar back to break it. She was just about to swing with the crowbar was grabbed from behind, and she was pulled backward. She then felt a hand over her mouth as she tried to scream. The good thing was she knew karate, but unfortunatly, so did this person. She tried to pull his hand around and flip in over her shoulder, but she couldn't becuase he knew enough to stop her. She was set pulled into a room and was set down in a chair. The whole time she was thinking that now she was in trouble, she would be sent to Azkaban or worse. She swallowed and looked up. She was surprised to see a young woman of about twenty, with blonde hair and green eyes staring back at her.

"What were you thinking?!" The woman asked her.

"I'm sorry it's just..."

Anne was afraid now, she took a deep breath and told the women the story. She started with.

"Do you remember when Voldemort came to the minisry, and a man fell through the veil"

She finsihed her story and ended with.

"I just didn't want anyone else to be hurt by it. I'm sorry"

The women just looked at her. Finally she spoke.

"I'm sorry for the loss of your father, and I won't tell the ministry"

Anne looked up, and jumped up.

"Thank you so much, I'll leave"

Anne ran all the way back Hogwarts and collapsed in an armchair. The fire had been put out long ago. She smiled and fell asleep. She only got an hour of sleep when she was awoken by the screech of an eagle owl.

"Hey Claws" she replied as she yawned.

She was so tired. She got up and quickly showered and changed then came down to find Draco sitting in the armchair she fell asleep in. They walked to their first class, which unfortunatly was potions. Snape still didn't belive her and she didn't really care either. She was sitting in class and about halfway through she fell asleep.
