Dumbledore walked into the house and entered the kitchen. Ashleigh and
Sirius were talking in low hushed voices.
"Hello." Dumbledore said sitting down in a chair waiting for the rest of the Order members.
"Hi." They both said.
"Its good to see that you two are not fighting." Dumbledore said they laughed and 5 more members walked in, Ashleigh noticed that one of them was Snape. She gave him a small smile and waved. He smiled back, but when he saw Sirius he gave him a glare. Ashleigh turned to Sirius and saw the same look on his face while looking at Snape.
"Oh COME ON!" She half yelled half spoke. Everyone looked at her.
"Both of you better grow up! Your not in school anymore, dont be such babies!" Ashleigh said. A few people laughed and a few clapped. Dumbledore gave a small chuckle. Sirius and Snape just stared at her, mouths wide open. The rest of the Order members arrived, that meant that Harry was inside the house right now. Dumbledore started the meeting, he had Snape report what Voldermort was planning and then he started to give out instructions. He turned to Ashleigh.
"Severus... do you have the potion i asked you to make?" Dumbledore asked him. Snape nodded and placed seven glass bottles filled with a pukey orange color. Ashleigh never thought that she would hate the color orange, after all it was her favorite color, but when it came to those bottles she loathed it. Dumbledore set them right in front of Ashleigh and she gave a really bad look at him and the bottles. He only gave her a flicker of sorriness.
"I need you to be ready in one week, can you do it?" He asked her. Ashleigh nodded and looked toward Snape. He was looking at her with extreme interest. No one knew what her job was. Little did they know that she would have to go directly to Voldermort again, but this time he wasnt going to get to her.

Voldermort was walking in circles around Ashleigh, she knew she had to keep her cool. He could see right through her if he chose to. He had his wand pointed to her throat and he was dagerously close to her. She coud feel the coldness radiating off him as he touched her.
"I can give you the world, i can give you anything you want. Just join me. Be with me. Make my heir." He whispered in her ear. A chill up and down her back.
"You are invincible, why would you need an heir?" She asked him. Still keeping her cool in this situation. She needed Sirius, she wanted Sirius.
"Somethings in this world can take it away, I need to live on in something else." He said. Still circling her. She swallowed, She was feeling fear, she was feeling hatred toward this man. This monster. He touched her neck lovingly. He always wanted her, she was powerful, young and impressionable. She was only 18 and she was already facing Voldermort.
"I cant produce, i am of no use to you." She told him. She wasnt furtile like she thought and wished she was.
"I make you furtile, i can give you all that you desire, i can spare those you love." He said. He knew he had caught her when he said that last bit. She wouldnt dare put those he loved in danger. He knew this by reading her mind. He would resort to anything to get her. He wanted her to be his. She was going to be his. She closed her eyes. She couldnt lose anyone else. He traced her neck with his long fingers. They were pale and cold. She just couldnt imagine being with him. Leaving Sirius was impossible.
"I cant..." She faintly whispered. He shook his head and stopped in front of her. He stared her down.
"You will." He said to her. She looked up at him, it was a battle of will. She needed to stay good. They needed her. Flashes of her Father, Dumbledore, and Sirius went through her mind.
"I WONT!" SHe yelled back. He just stared at her with his red eyes.
"You will, or you will be forced to live alone, without your love ones... i will kill them." He told her in his high pitched cold voice. She wanted to cry out to her friends. She didnt want them to die.
"Let her go Tom." He said calmly. Voldermort jumped at this sudden appearance of Dumbledore.
"No!" He yelled and Ashleigh escaped right through his arms. Dumbledore disapparated along with Ashleigh leaving Voldermort there by himself.
*** Ashleigh felt the anger and hatred that surged through her veins leave. She wanted to scream and cry at the same time. Dumbledore was sitting quietly at his desk waiting for her. She finally looked up at him, she was scared, scared and alone. SHe knew this. Her friends were as good as dead, sirius was as good as dead.
"He'll kill them." Ashleigh said after a long silence.
"He wont be able to." Dumbledore assured her. SHe always looked up to him, both physically and spiritually. He was always so calm and collected. Even when he was facing death. She wanted that.

At dinner that night, a lot of people were talking more than usual. Fred and George were practicing their magic and Ashleigh was staring off into the corner. She couldnt let Voldermort have her mentally. She knew that was where it all lay, but she couldnt figure out the puzzle. He life was a puzzle. She absentmindedly got up during a fight between Fred, George and Molly. She left the kitchen and quietly slipped out of the house. She apparated onto a street nearby. The community was so quiet, they didnt know about the wizarding world or about the dark wizard who was like Hitler. A cold breeze rustled the leaves and she pulled her cloak tighter around her. She didnt usually wear a cloak, but she had bought it for Sirius and he wasnt using it. She had actually put it on before Dumbledore arrived. In the first time in a years, she forgot to wash her clothes. She was always doing laundry. Something was bothering her though. She knew it wasnt about facing Voldermort but becoming his. She would have to put all her mental energy into being his. She couldnt think about Sirius, or Harry or DUmbledore. Harry... His face flashed through her mind. He was so much like his father it was unbeleivable. And his eyes, she remembered those eyes, it was one of the best physical traits Lily had. No one knew that Ashleigh was Lily's sister. Ashleigh didnt know until her 7th year in Hogwarts. Her dad had left a bunch of stuff and Ashleigh kept putting off going through it. She just didnt want to cry anymore.
A crash sounded to her right and she jumped. She didnt see anyone so she left, as quickly as possible. She didnt know why she was acting this way, it was very unusual. She finally didnt recognize where she was and thought it might have been really late, so she apparated to the house. She was in her room. Sirius was in there, pacing the room. He caught her in a hug when he saw her.
"Where were you?" he asked her. She shrugged. She was withdrawing, she could feel it. She always had a habit of this.
"Ash..." He started but Ashleigh walked out of the room. He followed her.
"Are you ok." He asked her.
"yeah... why wouldnt i be?" She asked him. She found the bottles that Snape had made and popped one open. She started to guzzle it down. The taste was rancid, the smell was unbearable. She felt her insides converge. She was about to throw up. She started to throw up but nothing came out.
"Are you ok?" He asked her again, this time his arms was across her back. She straightened up and nodded. He led her back to the bedroom, she magically brushed her teeth and curled up in fetal postion and fell asleep.
"Hello." Dumbledore said sitting down in a chair waiting for the rest of the Order members.
"Hi." They both said.
