Hey…thx for all the reviews.

BTW in that last chapter there was an itty-bitty mistake…going to correct it now…

"Audrey…why did you…?" started Harry (not Audrey)

"You owe me one…" she said smiling as she followed Snape down the stairs.

Harry stood there in amazement. He planned on paying her back…

There…

I'm sorry its taking me so long to update…had finals…huge drama…neway…ill try to finish the story this week…if not expect a delay of a month…I'll do my best.

Keep reviewing please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Professor Dumbledore? May I have a word with you?" said Snape as he stuck his greasy head into Dumbledore's office.

"Yes, of course, please, come in.," said Dumbledore, his eyes never leaving a pile of parchment on his desk.

Snape entered with Audrey closely behind him.

"Professor, Audrey here was found alongside Mr. Potter in the Astronomy tower…"

"For this you disturb me??!" said a booming, angry Dumbledore. Audrey was taken back at his rage and apparently so was Snape.

"I…I…I'm sorry Professor…I just…" Snape was a mumbling idiot.

"Get out…" said Dumbledore sitting back down, his eyes searching for something on the parchment.

"Alright…come Audrey…" Snape took Audrey by the arm and started to push her out of the office.

"Audrey, stay. We have to talk…" said Dumbledore in a serious tone.

Audrey shook herself out of Snape's grip and moved towards Dumbledore's desk.

Snape, looking like he has just swallowed a rotten egg, left the office.

"What is it Dad?" asked Audrey.

"That's the first time you call me dad…"

"First time for everything…so was' up?" asked Audrey, trying to see what it was that had Dumbledore so uptight.

"Honey, something…very serious…has been brought to my attention…"

"Dad, look, I'm sorry I went up to the Tower with Harry, but I swear…"

"No, no…that has nothing to do with this. Even though, Snape is right you shouldn't be up there alone…" Audrey rolled her eyes.

"Audrey, I don't believe in lying to children…not even to protect them, so I'm not going to lie to you now…"

Audrey got a little nervous…


"A threat has been made to the school…a serious threat. As expected Voldemort supporters are very, very angry at last year's…err…events. They have sent several threats, and since we have no way of knowing who is supporting Voldemort these days…well…I think you know where I'm going with this…"

"Ok…so…why are you telling me?"

"Audrey…you have been threatened directly, along with other students…I don't know how they found out you are here…but they know."

"Who else is in danger?"

"Well…It's you…and Harry."

"Of course…" Audrey let herself fall on the couch in Dumbledore's office. She was more worried about Harry than herself.

"Both you and Harry will be moved from your regular rooms into special, hidden rooms. You must understand that leaving the Castle is extremely dangerous. You will have a teacher accompany you between classes and whenever necessary."

Audrey nodded…she was scared…And Dumbledore could tell.

"Audrey, don' be afraid. I need you to be brave…" Dumbledore sat next to her.

"I'm not scared…well…I'm mostly worried…Harry has gone through enough! Why can't they just leave him alone?" Audrey was crying, but she quickly wiped her tears away. She felt like such a baby.

"I know…Audrey I must ask one more thing from you…"

Audrey looked up at Dumbledore.

"Try not to spend to much time with Harry. I love him as my own son but…he brings trouble Audrey…I need you to be safe…"

"I will leave my room. I won't leave the castle. I won't go anywhere without a teacher. But I will NOT ignore Harry." Audrey got up and moved for the door.

"Audrey, wait. Just try to keep your meetings in crowded places…"

"Fine…would you send this to mom for me? I don't remember where the owlery is…" (*A/N: I don't know how to spell so bear with me…*)

"Sure…and I'll have your owl sent to your own room, keep her there." Audrey handed Dumbledore the letter and followed him to her new room.
