Thanx for reviewing!!! I love you people!!
Harry stared at his ring, and looked at Sirius. Sirius' was glowing also. They both dashed to Dumbledore's office, using a secret passage that they knew, so they didn't have to play guessing games with the gargoyle.
When they entered Dumbledore's office, they saw that Snape was already waiting in a chair. When he saw them he looked at the headmaster incredulously; his expression obviously said… 'THEM!!!!????' Dumbledore nodded and motioned to two empty seats.
When they had sat down Dumbledore began to speak. "I have a mission for you three. This is an extremely important mission, and I want it to be successful. I know that you three don't get along," all three stopped shooting each other death glares and turned innocently to Dumbledore, "but I want you to try your best.
"You see…Mr. Black put your wand back," said Dumbledore, slightly amused. Sirius put his wand back in his pocket, and Snape smirked. "As I was saying before…Severus don't even think about it!" Snape slipped his own wand back into his robes and sighed. "Now before that interruption, I was going to tell you three about the mission.
"This is the mission. You three have to retrieve a girl."
"A what?" asked Snape.
"An example of the female species?" asked Sirius, "Don't you have plenty here?"
"No, no you two!" cried Harry rolling his eyes, "He's got to be talking about someone he's retrieving for the Order."
"Well, not exactly Harry, but you're closer than the other two…I said put those wands away!" Sirius pouted and crossed his arms looking the opposite direction of Snape. Snape did the same. "Thank you. Her name is Meggie, Meggie Faren. She may be later initiated into the Order, but not now. Her parents were Aurors in America, until Voldemort retrieved them as Death Eaters. She wrote her own government telling them that they were Death Eaters, and they were arrested. She's now to attend Hogwarts."
"Why don't you just send Harry?" asked Sirius. "He's good with girls." Snape snorted, and Harry threw the thing nearest him with his mind, Dumbledore's paperweight. "Ouch!"
"You deserved it Black," said Snape's oily smooth voice. "Just sad to say I didn't do it myself."
"Will you two stop, please," said Dumbledore, becoming slightly annoyed. His eyes had stopped twinkling. "If you would act your age I may be able to finish, and then you can get it over with." Both nodded their heads. Harry smiled; he was going to have fun on this mission.
"Thank you. Now, I can't just send Harry because there are Death Eaters after her. Though I know he could probably take care of them, I don't need the world to know that he's a Mage. If you two don't learn to get along," he said pointedly, "then I think I'll have to assign you more things together." A look of horror crossed both Snape and Sirius' faces, causing Harry to laugh hysterically.
"What's so funny!" demanded Snape.
"Sir, you…you…you look like Sirius, Sir…" Snape's face blanched, and he fainted. Dumbledore closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
"You three leave tonight at seven. Meet the girl at Times Square in New York. Tell Severus what I've already told you."
"Professor," asked Harry, "What does she look like?"
"Muddy blonde hair, is what she said, and blue eyes. She's somewhere around 5' 6" I believe. Now, I believe you're late for class Harry."
"Where is Potter and Black?" muttered Snape to himself, inwardly hoping that neither would show. To his great dismay, both came walking around the corner, and dressed in Muggle clothes. He only to a second to glance at Black's, but when he turned to Harry's, he was surprised by the shirt. It was a black T-shirt which said, 'Your village called, their idiot's missing.' "For God's sake, Potter, where did you get that shirt?"
"Sir, some Muggle store…I think, Sir."
"Good gracious, Potter thought!" muttered Snape, but loud enough for them to hear. Sirius was about to draw his wand, when something else distracted him. He was staring at Snape, and looked like a codfish. "Well, what is it Black?"
Sirius didn't say anything and closed his mouth. Snape rolled his eyes, muttered something under his breath about how toddlers who knew not how to talk shouldn't teach. The three walked down to Hogsmede in total silence…well, walked isn't the word.
Snape kept tripping over nothing at all. Every time he fell, Sirius fell on top of him. Then on the way down the path, Snape started to tap dance. He finally got a hold of his wand and stopped himself. It took much longer to stop Sirius from laughing. Next thing both of them knew, the two of them were doing the tango, and Harry was rolling on the ground and laughing hysterically. "POTTER STOP THIS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Sir….yes…Sir…" He stopped them, only to have them ballroom dancing down to Hogsmede. When they finally made it, Harry stopped them, and then apparated to Times Square.
Both Snape and Sirius appeared behind him, and looked murderous, until they saw the ruckus going on in Times Square. Death Eaters were everywhere. Muggles were dying left and right, and more where screaming and running around. Wizards were doing their best to help the Muggles, but not much progress was happening.
Harry pulled himself together, closed his eyes, and imagined a barrier. The barrier was separating Muggles and Wizards from Death Eaters. After what seemed forever he opened his eyes to find the barrier just as he had imagined it. He let out a long sigh, and turned to the two adults. "What do we do now?" asked Harry. The Death Eaters couldn't Disapparate out of the barrier he had created, but he knew it wouldn't hold them for long.
"We let the Aurors take care of it, and find Miss Faren," said Sirius grabbing his arm and stepping over the dead body of a man. Severus followed, shaking his head sadly. He remembered quite well when he was part of the killers.
They searched through the Muggles and wizards, asking for a Miss Faren. Everybody shook his or her head no. Harry walked up to a teenage girl. She had long blonde/brown hair that was braided back in a single braid, and blue eyes that seemed to know things that most teenagers shouldn't. Harry saw pain and sorrow in those eyes, such as he had often seen in his own. "Excuse me, Miss," he said getting her attention, "have you seen a Miss Meggie Faren."
"That would be me," she said quietly. Harry was so busy looking at her that he almost missed the answer. "And, who would you be?"
His palms were all sweaty, and he'd never felt like this before around a girl. Maybe it was just the pressure of keeping the barrier there, yes that was it. "My name's Harry, Harry Potter." A look of surprise flickered across her face, but then disappeared.
Snape and Sirius came walking up. "I can't find her," said Sirius.
"Well I did," said Harry. He was afraid to look her in the eyes; he had this feeling that he'd get lost.
"Oh," said Sirius, winking at Harry knowingly. "My name's Sirius Black, and this is Severus Snape. We're professors at Hogwarts."
"Nice to meet you…umm, Professor Snape, why are you in your underwear?" Snape looked down.
"I am not. What would ever give you that idea?"
Harry and Sirius were trying not to laugh again. "Sir, permission to speak, sir?" asked Harry.
"Yes, Potter."
"Sir, you are, Sir."
"POTTER!!!!" Harry smiled innocently and Snape took the illusion charm off himself to find himself in his underpants. His underpants, which said, 'I love Minnie!'
Snape was beat read and ready to kill someone. "Well," said Sirius, "how about floo powder?"
Okay guys, I'm gonna try a little romance here, because people have been asking for it. I'm better off with humor than romance, I'm not that gushy kind of person. Oh well, there's a first time for everything. Yes, if I progress in the romance, which I'll have a hard time doing, it'll be H/M. Tell me what you think guys, and what house you think Meggie should be in! Oh, and I'm having a bonfire, so I'll use flames for that.
