A/N: Hello people,

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in a while. I just moved into university to start my first year, so I'm kind of busy. On top of that I have a cold. Thanks for your patience.

Auria spent the early hours of the morning trying to answer the questions that flooded her mind.

"Are the Death Eaters going to kill the Bengers? At what time tonight? Where do they live? Should I bring Sirius, Remus and James along with me to protect them?"

She was jolted out of her thoughts when Padfoot suddenly stood up to stretch. Flying up to avoid getting stepped on Auria let out a small chirp. Startled Sirius looked up and then bashfully tucked his tail between his legs. Auria let out a sort of laugh and flew back down beside him. Just then James came in, followed by a sick but human looking Remus.

"We can leave now" James said, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

Padfoot and Auria nodded and changed back into their human forms.

"Merlin's Beard what's wrong?" Sirius exclaimed the minute he saw Auria's nervous eyes.

"I'll explain on the way" she said heading towards the door.

She had decided to tell them about last night, and invite them to come with her to protect the Bengers.

"We did make that promise in the woods" she told herself reassuringly, "besides they're the best wizards in the school, they'll be able to handle themselves."

As the four friends made their way through the underground passage Auria told them all about her encounter with Voldemort.

"Well we have to save these people" Sirius said as soon as she was done.

James and Remus both nodded.

"Especially since, well I'm assuming it's their daughter, went to Hogwarts last year."

"Really, I don't remember her" Auria said, ducking to avoid a branch.

"She was in Gryffindor, Etoile Benger" Remus replied.

Auria looked at him confused.

"You know" Sirius said waving his hand. "The weird, kind of spaced out girl that was dating the older guy."

"Oh yeah, the one with the strange earrings" Auria replied, nodding her head.

They reached the end of the passage way, slipped under James' cloak and headed back towards the school. Once inside the common room they said their goodbyes and went upstairs to get a few more hours of sleep.

Auria spent all of transfigurations class trying to figure out ways of learning the Bengers address. At break she rushed to the library and found Oxford on a map of England. She would have to apparate, it was too far to fly. Just as she, Sirius and James were heading to potions class she had an idea.

"Ahhhhh" she gasped.

"What, what's wrong" Sirius asked, gripping her shoulders.

He looked around frantically for sign of an attacker.

"Nothing, I'm fine" she replied with a smile, patting his arms. "I've just figured out a way to find out where the Bengers live."

She was had just finished telling them her idea when Regulus passed them in the hall. He was hunched over carrying something heavy in the folds of his cloak. When he saw them he gave them a nervous glance before scurrying off down the hall.

"What's with him?" James asked.

Sirius and Auria shrugged.

Potions class passed slowly. Professor Verge gave them their hardest potion yet, a floating draught. As soon as the bell rang Auria rushed out of the room towards Gryffindor tower.

"See you later" she called to Remus, James and Sirius.

"Bye" Sirius said giving her the puppy face.

Auria couldn't resist. She ran back to Sirius and gave him a quick peck on the lips. Blushing she turned away and headed off.

"Good job mate" she heard James say to Sirius.

Auria reached her dormitory room in record time. Pulling on her invisibility cloak she went down stairs and headed out the portrait hole. She stepped out onto the damp Hogwarts grounds a few minutes later.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a cool spring day and Auria's shoes were wet by the time she reached Hogsmeade. She took off the invisibility cloak and walked down High Street. Auria snickered at the memory of the previous night as she passed the Three Broomsticks. Reaching the end of the street she turned into the owl post office.

"Hello, how can I help you?" shouted the man over the racket of hooting owls.

"I'd like to send a letter to the Bengers in Oxford please" she replied handing him a piece of rolled up parchment.

"Ok, that will be 3 sickles" he said holding out his hand.

Auria gave him the money and watched carefully as he tied the letter to a brown burrowing owl's leg.

"Thank you" she replied quickly leaving the store.

Auria went around the corner and put the cloak on. When she saw the owl fly out a window she quickly changed into her phoenix form, shook the cloak off and took of after it.

Two hours later they arrived in Oxford. The owl swooped down to a large grey brick house and flew towards an open window. Before the owl could release the letter Auria dove down and grabbed it out of its beak. The owl looked very annoyed.

"Well I can't deliver them a blank piece of parchment" she mentally thought toward the owl.

She flew back up into the air and in a burst of bright flame apparated back to Hogwarts.

"What took you so long?" Sirius whispered to her as she walked to his side during care of magical creatures.

"Oxford's far" she replied taking a hold of his hand.

"We told Cainin that you were speaking to Dumbledore" he whispered to her.

"Thanks" she replied with a smile.

As soon as classes were finished the four friends went straight to the common room to plan for the coming night's adventure.

"You guys will be ok right" Auria asked, worry creasing her face.

They were sitting on their usual couches in the back corner.

"Yes" Sirius said, pulling her in tighter against him. "We'll be fine."

"Good" she replied with a sigh.

Sirius bent down and gave her a reassuring kiss on the forehead.

At eight o'clock James and Auria went upstairs to get their invisibility cloaks.

A/N: I will write more when I can. Thanks again for your patience.
