NOTE TO READERS: About the Oprah studio 'issue'... I am not very good with
American shows, or where they are. However, after much long and boring
research, I have come to the conclusion that Oprah studios IS in Chicago,
but they have a special-occasion studio in New York that they use on...
occasions. However, thank you for everyone who emailed me about it, I
really appreciate it, and the author of any story really should know the
details. My New York assumption was just a lucky guess. Thanks. -Jerri

'This is going really great!' Gilderoy thought, as he sat on his squishy beige chair in the Oprah studio.
"Anyway, Orpah," Gilderoy continued.
"Oprah." Oprah corrected as if it were the hundredth time he said it, which it was.
"Whatever." Gilderoy replied, smiling and waving his hand as if to push it aside. "I was the founder of the, uh... itronet!"
"The what?" The audience cried in unison.
"You know," Gilderoy said, starting to worry, "That thing that you use your Confusers and the Moose to do things."
There was a blank stare from the audience. A cough came from the very back. Then all was silent again. Suddenly, there was a loud scream from the lobby, followed by scurried footsteps, and then the creaking of the studio door. Before anyone could tell what was happening, Andromeda, Sirius, Severus and Remus stumbled on to the stage from the wings.
"Andromeda!" Gilderoy exclaimed, bouncing up from his seats. Oprah woke up with a start from the loud noise.
"Who is your guest, Glideroy?" she asked.
"Gilderoy." Gilderoy corrected.
"Whatever." Oprah replied.
"This is my fiancée!" Gilderoy yelled happily. Andromeda took a step back.
"I am NOT your fiancée!" Andromeda cried, about two seconds away from picking up a beige chair and hurling it at Gilderoy.
"And what do you think you're doing here, anyway?" Andromeda screamed. "You're endangering everything we try so hard to keep concealed!"
Gilderoy was silent. She used a couple big words he didn't know. Now it was time for the Gilderoy defense: smile and nod.
"Ugh!" Andromeda yelled in frustration. She stormed over to Severus. "YOU try!"
Severus was very happy at this. He pulled out his wand, and slowly calculated in his mind what he was going to do to Gilderoy. Poisons were too easy and too fast. An unforgivable curse would be too illegal. A regular curse wasn't good enough. Perhaps a good bash to the head would help. Yes, that was perfect, bash Gilderoy's head-
Gilderoy fell over.
"What the bloody hell!" Severus bellowed. "I didn't ever DO anything! WHY ME, GOD?!"
Severus collapsed to the ground in frustration and tried to pull out his hair.
"Severus, don't-..." Andromeda started.
"No, let him." Sirius interrupted. "He's in his own little world, now."
As Severus screamed obscenities and silently murmured to himself, Andromeda, Sirius and Remus were trying to figure out what happened to Gilderoy.
"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him." Remus said. "He just fell over."
"That's so weird." Andromeda commented, poking Gilderoy in the stomach with her wand. He made a gurgling noise, and flinched, but other then that, he was out cold.
"Maybe Severus just scared him stiff." Sirius suggested.
Andromeda shrugged. "Oh, well." She said. "The important thing is, he's unconscious. Let's do what we came here to do."
Andromeda stood up and brushed herself off. The others did the same. They all raised their wands, pointing at the cameras and the audience, who were staring back, blankly.
"At the count of three..." Sirius said.
Andromeda and Remus steadied their wands. Severus was still swearing behind them.
"One..." Sirius began. "Two..."
"GILDEROY! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU!" A voice screamed from an entrance door. Sure enough, Gloria, her clothes torn and her hair in rat nests, came bounding down to the stage and flung herself over Gilderoy.
"Whatever you're going to do to him, I won't let you!" Gloria screamed. "I love him!"
Andromeda looked over at Remus, who had a very interesting expression on his face.
"Boy, Remus, you sure know how to pick 'em." Sirius commented. Andromeda elbowed him in the ribs.
"Three!" Andromeda said, and Remus and Sirius reacted by erasing the memories of everyone on the set, audience, and everyone watching. This included Gloria.

End chapter. Anyway- next chapter- we learn things about Andromeda, Severus is determined to injure Gilderoy, and the troop must go to the SSS meeting.
