"Dana don't you understand what is happening. He is winning, soon there
will be no stopping Voldemort." Casey heard Professor McGonnagal say. Casey
gulped, she feared this was about the happen. She leaned towards the living
room more to listen.
"I don't understand Minerva. How can someone fake a public catastrophe?" Dana asked the face in the fire.
"Don't tell me that you haven't heard of the Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black story?" McGonnagal retorted. Dana nodded but threw her arms aside, giving the gesture that meant I-know-but-that-doesn't-apply.
"The point is, we are in deeper trouble than we thought. Since Voldemort faked the attack at Clear Stream, he knew that Dumbledore would go there. That means that Hogwarts will be unprotected and I fear that He will be here at any moment."
"What can I do Minerva?" Dana asked. "Whatever you do, do NOT tell Casey or any of the other girls about this. Dumbledore's last orders before he left. I need you to alert anyone and everyone else and get them to Hogsmeade so we can make an army to fight Voldemort before he gets too powerful."
"Done. I will go tell Casey that I am going to go to the supermarket and then I will leave." "Good luck Dana." Minerva said before her head disappeared from the fire.
Dana started heading towards the stairs where Casey was listening in so Casey quickly got up and ran to her room. She had just enough time to jump on her bed and open a magazine before Dana came in.
"Hey Casey, umm, I'm going to the supermarket to get some dinner, do you need anything?" Dana asked. "Nope, I'm good." Casey said casually.
"All right. I'll be gone for a few hours, you are okay by yourself right?" "Yep. I might watch some TV or something." Casey said.
"Okay, bye." Dana said as she headed out of Casey's room. Casey clearly heard Dana pick up her keys and shut the door; almost if Dana was doing it extra loud so Casey could hear.
Casey quickly looked out of the window down at Dana. Dana was looking to the left and then to the right. When she saw the coast was clear she popped and was gone.
Casey laid herself on her bed and she projected.

Kelsey was having a wonderful time lying about on the beach with Harry and Sirius. She almost felt guilty because everyone else was worrying about Voldemort and such.
At the moment all three were out on the porch of the house and each sat in a beach chair that reclined.
"This is the life now isn't it?" Sirius asked. Kelsey looked at Harry and she saw that he looked like he felt guilty as well. "Sirius, how long are we going to stay here?" Kelsey asked as she propped herself up with her elbows.
Sirius looked away at the sunset. Sirius turned back at Kelsey and opened his mouth to speak but before he could say anything the three saw a faint shimmer and soon the shimmer became Casey.
"It was fake, Kelsey, you need to get back to Hogwarts fast, everyone is in danger!" Casey screamed in a panic. Kelsey realized that this is what Vanessa prophesized. Kelsey nodded as she started to get up but Sirius looked at Casey with confusion. Harry too had the same confused face but started to get up as well.
Casey nodded again at Kelsey and disappeared. "Sirius, we need to get back to Hogwarts, fast." Kelsey said as she headed into the house. Harry and Sirius looked at each other and headed into the house following Kelsey.
"Kelsey, what's this all about?" Sirius asked. "Its like this, you know about our powers, and Vanessa is physic. She had a premonition and she told me about it. She said that Casey had astral projected to me and told me that very same phrase.
"Trust me, both me and Harry need to get back to Hogwarts as fast as possible." Kelsey said as she started putting on her shoes. Harry followed suit and he too started putting on his socks and shoes.
Sirius was still standing in front of Kelsey, looking dumbstruck. "We are going with or without your help Sirius." Kelsey said as she finished tying her left shoe and she stood up. She took her wand out of her pocket and held it tightly.
"But with your help will be much easier."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ron and Vanessa had just finished their third game of wizards chess and decided it was such a nice day out that they should go outside.
Vanessa was sitting with Ron in the yard with her head on his shoulders, admiring the view. All of a sudden Vanessa saw a shimmer and found herself looking at Casey.
All Vanessa's fears came back. "Vanessa, it was fake, you and Ron have to go and get Dumbledore back to Hogwarts, everyone else is in danger with him not there."
Vanessa realized that this is juts what she saw in her premonition and she also realized that the confused looks she saw on her face the first time in the premonition was not a confused face at all. Quite the contrary it was a horror stricken face.
Ron nodded at Casey and pulled Vanessa up and towards The Burrow.
Casey started to follow but she remembered that she still had to warn Angela so she disappeared and went to Angela and Stacey.
Ron pulled Vanessa into the house and up to his room. Once in his room he shut the door and faced Vanessa, putting his arms firmly on her shoulders.
"You knew about this didn't you?" Ron asked her very seriously but at the same time very fast. Vanessa nodded. "What are we supposed to do?" Ron asked her again. "We have to go to Clear Stream and try and find Dumbledore." Ron nodded after Vanessa said this.
He walked to his door, opened it and looked out. "My mum cant know about what we are going to do, she would stop us from going, so shh." Ron said to Vanessa as he grabbed her hand and led her downstairs.
The Burrow all of a sudden had an eerie feel to it and it seemed too quiet. Ron didn't seem to notice and he checked around the corner to see that the living room was clear.
"Have your wand?" Ron asked Vanessa. "Yes." "Have your bracelet?" Ron asked her. She seemed surprised at the question but held up her left arm to show that she was wearing it. "Good." Ron said as he grabbed some Floo Powder and led Vanessa into the fireplace with him.
Vanessa grabbed Ron's hand as he said, "Clear Stream!"
He threw the Floo Powder down and greens flames irrupted from the fireplace. The next instance when the green flames died down, both Ron and Vanessa were gone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Angela and Stacey searched the entire house and came up empty handed. "Stacey, I don't think he is here, and neither is Lucius." Angela said as she wiped her brow.
"I agree." Stacey said as she sat down on the floor. Both girls were resting when they saw a shimmer and then Casey appear.
"Forget him, you need to come back, for everyone's sake, everyone's in danger." Casey said to Angela. Angela nodded and with that Casey was gone.
Stacey looked very confused as Angela got up. "Okay Stacey, there is a lot to explain in very little time. We need to find a fireplace and some Floo Powder fast. On the way I will explain everything.
Stacey nodded as she stood up and the two girls started walking cautiously, Angela whispering into Stacey's ear about everything that was going on.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Casey returned back home and she was confronted with a decision. She could either project to Hogwarts or she could go by Floo Powder. She considered the options carefully.
She knew that if she was killed when she was projecting that she would instantly die there, disappear, and return to her normal body, dead.
She also knew that if she did project and Dana found out, all Dana had to do was wake Casey's normal body and Casey would be pulled back.
On the other hand if Casey went there, it would be harder to come back. On the bright side though, if she went by Floo Powder she could use her powers there on Voldemort.
Casey finally decided to go by Floo Powder. She grabbed for a piece of paper and a pen and jotted a note down. She reached in the flowerpot that was by the fireplace and took out some Floo Powder.
She crawled into the fireplace and threw the Floo Powder down yelling, "Hogwarts."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ron and Vanessa arrived at Clear Stream. What they saw there was astonishing to both. Vanessa thought that since the attack was fake, that nothing really happened. She was wrong.
The whole school looked like it had caught fire, since there were scorch marks everywhere. Ron was looking around too, noticing the damages done.
"Do you think we should split up?" Vanessa asked finally remembered what they came there to do. "No, its not safe. Hurry, lets go." Ron said.
Vanessa and Ron walked the hallways calling out for Professor Dumbledore. They searched each classroom and other places that Vanessa had never been (Teachers Lounge, Janitors Closet, the Detention Room (lol)).
Finally Vanessa and Ron had searched the entire school and wasn't able to find Dumbledore. Just then Casey projected in.
"Vanessa, we need you back here at Hogwarts. Its quiet here, and its not looking so good. We need you to be here, so get here FAST!" Casey said as she shimmered back out.
"Well, we could go by Floo Powder, but we don't have any." Ron said. "Kelsey's House!" Vanessa said. She started running as Ron was running after her. Vanessa explained. "Dana has a fireplace with Floo Powder there."
After about five minutes of running (Kelsey's house was extremely close to Clear Stream) Vanessa and Ron were at Kelsey's house. They knocked on the door and rang the bell but no one answered. Vanessa tried to open the door. "It's locked." Vanessa said frustrated.
"Have you learned NOTHING at Hogwarts?" Ron said back, extremely frustrated. "Alohomora." Ron yelled as the door clicked opened.
Vanessa and Ron ran to the fireplace taking the Floo Powder. They grabbed hands and Vanessa threw down the Floo Powder yelling "Hogwarts!"
Nothing happened. "What's wrong with it?" Vanessa asked Ron. He had a strange look on his face and he answered, "Someone must have disconnected Hogwarts from the Floo system. Here, lets go to Hogsmeade and catch the train. The Three Broomsticks!" Ron yelled as he threw the Floo Powder down.
(A/N: When I read the books for the first time I pictured them having to catch a train from Hogsmeade to Hogwarts. I know now that that's incorrect, but bear with me please.) They arrived in the Three Broomsticks and exited in a hurry. They ran to the train station just in time to see the train far in front of them.
"C'mon, we have to walk." Ron said pulling Vanessa. Vanessa was already extremely tired and felt awful about what was happening. All of those emotions together made Vanessa very fatigued.
Vanessa wanted to stop and rest but Ron kept pushing her to go more. Finally they were up at Hogwarts. Ron ran in first through the main entrance and Vanessa was close by. As soon as Ron was in however, the doors closed in Vanessa's face.
"Just like in my dream." Vanessa said as she banged on the doors, trying to get them to open.
