Chapter 15: Say Hello Dumbledore, To My Family and Your Doom

" Anne, you will tell me why your family is standing in the entrance hall." Dumbledore had Anne's arm in a tight grip, but if he was hurting her, she never showed it. But Tucker was having none of it. He walked swiftly up to Dumbledore and pulled him away, almost ripping the man away from her.

" You will keep your hands off her." Tucker growled at the headmaster.

" Anne, you ok?" Harry asked, pulling her from the two adults. He had moved quickly behind her after Finbar called her from the table.

" Yah, just fine, bro, even better now. I better stop father before he kills the old coot."

" You sure you want to stop him? I mean he could easily take care of him." Severus's voice said, coming from behind the two siblings.

" Dad! That would just ruin our fun."

Anne looked at him, noticing the lone figure behind him standing in the doorway of the great hall, staring at her before the doors closed on him.

" Yah I would guess so. How long ago did you send that letter? Two days ago? What took the family so long?" Harry asked, smirking at her.

" They probably had to round up father. He likes to be in his own world a lot. And I think that they had to wait for Uncle Red. Why they brought him, I may never know, but the more the merrier. I should go and stop Tucker." Anne walked up behind the men.

" I don't know who the hell you think you are touching her, but do it again and I break you hand." Tucker raged at the headmaster.

" Tucker! Stop this at once!" Anne pulled him back and looked him in the eyes.

" Father, please. I will deal with this." Tucker nodded and moved to go back to Meagan, but Anne pulled him down and whispered something to him. He nodded and moved towards Severus.

" Professor Dumbledore, Lord Tucker was right. Where do you get off manhandling me?" Anne looked down at her arm and saw that already, bruises were forming where the man had gripped her.

' Stronger then he looks.' Anne thought before looking back up at Dumbledore.

" You still haven't answered my question, Ms. Potter." He answered, looking at her with those damn twinkling eyes.

" They are here for me. Nothing more, nothing less. I am sure you could find suitable places fro them to stay. They have traveled a long way and surely you do not expect them to turn around and leave." Anne smiled sweetly up at him, knowing full well he remembered the last time her family was here.

" But of course, how rude of me. They may stay in the rooms on the third floor, but right now, I would like to speak with your mother and father, Anne." Dumbledore looked up at the Lord and Lady Rache.

They didn't make any move to follow him; they just stood there and watched him, glancing at Anne.

" Oh, they won't go, not unless I let them. Being leader has its perks." Anne sneered at the man, then turned to look at the group in the doorway and nodded. Meagan and Tucker followed Dumbledore, with Drak and Jason (another cousin) following. Jamie and the others moved to the third floor. Anne stopped Red before he went up.

" Any reason why they tore you away from your home?" She asked him.

" Oh, just another expert." He answered.

" Should have known. Better hurry, uncle Red, before you lose Jamie." Anne hugged him and he ran to catch up to the others.

Anne turned to face Severus and Harry.

" Dad, do you know how tempted I was to say you should go up to, what with Dumbly saying that he needed to talk to my 'mother and father'?" Anne smirked at him.

" Yes, I could see it in your eyes. Come on, we'll finish breakfast in my quarters." Severus turned and walked off towards his quarters.

Anne turned to Harry.

" Guess I am lucky it's a Saturday. See yah later, Har."

Anne walked down the stairs and was just entering the hallway that lead to Severus's quarters when she heard it. It was voice that sent shivers down her spine and terror in her heart.

' Come…come to me…. let me rip you…let me tear you…let me kill you…'

Anne was hyperventilating as the fear swept through her and she curled up in a small ball as she shoved herself into a dark corner.

"I got a candle

And I've got a spoon

I live in a hallway with no doors

And no rooms

Under a windowsill

They all were found

A touch of concrete within the doorway

Without a sound

Someone save me if you will

And take away all these pills

And please just save me if you can

From the blasphemy in my wasteland

How did I get here?

And what went wrong

Couldn't handle forgiveness

Now I'm far beyond gone

I can hardly remember

The look of my own eyes

How can I love this a life so dishonest

It made me compromise

Someone save me if you will

And take away all these pills

And please just save me if you can

From the blasphemy in my wasteland

Jump in the water

Jump in with me

Jump on the alter

Lay down with me

The hardest question to answer

Is why

Why

Someone save me if you will

And take away all these pills

And please just save me if you can

From the blasphemy in my wasteland

Someone save me

Somebody save me

Please don't erase me"

Severus was there, but he could not find her. She was in the dark and because she was in the small corridor, the song was echoing, causing it to be louder then usual. At last the song died down and he could hear the shallow, ragged breathing coming from the corner and rushed over to find Anne barely breathing, shacking like mad. He gathered her up and brought her into his quarters. When he tried to place her on the couch, she refused to let go, so he sat there, gently rubbing her back, humming a song and eventually she calmed down enough for Severus to pry her off so she could rest comfortable on the couch.

Just as he had her covered, there was a knock on his door and when he opened it, he found Finbar and Harry standing there, looking extremely worried.

" Where is she?" Finbar asked pointedly, as if saying ' Move now.'

Severus moved so they could enter and quickly closed the door after them.

" I don't know what happened. I was in my quarters when the song went off. I haven't any idea what caused it." Severus said, moving to the chair by the couch.

" I do. The song was motivated by pure fear. You could hear it in the song, how fast it was. Something scared her bad in between the time when we went up to our rooms and she and Harry parting." Finbar said, kneeling in front of the couch. " Owl, what was it? What was scary enough that it sent even you into the darkness? Your not afraid of anything, so why are you here, shacking in fear?"

Anne's eyes fluttered open and stared into Finbar's, whose hands were instantly on her temple and it seemed that a blue light surrounded the two. After a few minutes, Finbar released her and fell back onto the carpet, sweat pouring down his face.

" By the gods, what is in this school?" Finbar said aloud, more to himself then to Harry and Severus.

" What are you talking about?" Severus asked.

" She heard it too, didn't she?" Harry suddenly asked, looking from his sister to Finbar.

" You heard it as well?" Finbar asked.

Harry nodded. " On my way to the common room to grab my bag. It was cold, murderous voice. I don't know what it was, but it just sent cold chills down my spine."

" Anne, you need to wake up, now." Finbar said, shacking her shoulders.

Anne sat up and stared at the wall.

" Harry, you heard it as well. Was it cold and murderous? What did it say when you heard it?" Anne asked without turning her head.

" It just said, 'Come to me, let me rip you, let me tear you'. That is all I heard before it disappeared. Not to long after that, I heard music and knew at once it was you, apparently, so did Finbar, because I met him halfway down here. But the odd thing was that neither Ron nor Hermione heard it. They said that I shouldn't tell anyone, except maybe Dumbledore and I really don't want to tell him anything anymore. But, I did plan on keeping it quiet, but I guess I don't have to now." Harry stopped and sat on the edge of the couch, by Anne's feet.

" What do you think it was? Anne, do you think it was the basilisk? You said you thought that might be the monster of the chamber." Severus asked.

" I don't know." Anne's voice was distant, staring at the wall, as if it held an image that she couldn't tear eyes from. Her eyes were a deep blue.

" Anne?" Harry asked, waving his hand in front of her face, she was unresponsive.

" Anne. Anne, come on! You can't sit around all day! Get your lazy bum up!" Finbar was now standing and had Anne's shoulders in his hands and was glaring into her eyes.

" Conor…" The sound that came out of her was a voice that was small and barely a whisper.

" Crap. Harry, run and get Conor. I think that only he will draw her out. I fear the vision is about him." Finbar asked, looking up at the younger boy, who nodded and took off out of the room.

" Anne, what is going on in your head?" Finbar asked in a small voice.

((In Anne's head))

" Conor! Where are you?" Anne yelled out.

She was on an island, in the middle of ocean that was acid.

A voice called her name, but she couldn't see them. Where were they?

" Conor! I can't see you!" she yelled out again, dropping to her knees.

" I need you. I can't push that voice out of my head. Please Conor, come. I need you. Where are you?" Anne was crying, curling up in the shadow of the rock.

((Out of Anne's head))

Tears were streaming down her face as she kept repeating Conor's name.

Suddenly, three words escaped her lips before the song started.

" Where are you?" She whispered.

"Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
that you've been gone.

She said "Some days I feel like shit,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the trips always feel so long,
And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
that you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

You know the place where you used to live,
Used to barbecue up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once and a while,
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time, With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find that you have something to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
that you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For why you're not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don't really know what you've got 'til it's gone,
I guess I've had it with you and your career,
When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it...

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home..."

The door burst open and Harry and Conor came through before the door closed again. At once, Conor was at her side, holding her, calling her name. Harry found himself at the end of the couch and watched as Conor eased Anne out and he watched as her eyes went from deep blue to their normal deep Auburn-Ebony.

" Anne, you ok?" Conor whispered.

" Yah, thank you." Anne answered, leaning into him.

They all sat there before Severus spoke up.

" Anne, what happened?"

" I couldn't get that voice out of my head. It scared me to death and the only other time I have been so scared like that was when Jeb took me when I was four." Anne answered him, turning so she faced him.

" Who's Jeb and what do you mean 'when Jeb took me'?" Severus asked, grabbing her hand.

When she didn't answer, He looked up at Finbar and Conor, who looked at each other before nodded.

" Jeb was a hermit that lived on one of the mountains that surround our forest and he used to be a family friend, that is until he kidnapped Anne when she was four. No one knew how twisted he was until one day Anne didn't come back after she wandered. Drak had lost her, like usual, but usually she comes back, bearing grins and flowers from the fields. But that day was unusual. So we set out after her again. Three days passed, and we still hadn't located her and the whole village was in an uproar. Then we got a tip from the owls that they had seen Jeb with a young child not three hours ago. We at once moved to his shack and sure enough, there was Anne tied up in the corner, blood covering one side of her face and tears streaming down her face, hand broken from being thrown and Jeb was standing there, hand raised as if he was going to slap her. We moved fast, Drak and Jamie 'taking care of Jeb' and Conor and I quickly getting Anne untied. As soon as we untied her, we took her to Liadan. Turns out the freak had knocked her out, dragged her five miles to his shack and then continued his damage after that. Well, as soon as father heard what he had done, lets just say no one saw Jeb after that. Not that anyone cared. All anyone cared about right then was the injured girl that couldn't stand the dark anymore." Finbar explained, and then sat down on Anne's other side, enveloping her in a side hug.

" Guys, I am super tired and need some sleep. I will see you either at dinner or tomorrow." Anne said, looking up at Conor, Finbar and Harry.

" Alright owl. We will see you in the later." Conor said, standing and kissing her forehead.

Finbar and Harry kissed her as well before exiting the room.

" Anne?"

" Yah, dad?"

" You ok?"

" I will be."

Anne stood and hugged her father, but instead of heading to the bedroom, she sat on Severus's knees and curled up, resting her head on his shoulder.

Severus chuckled and gently rubbed her back as her breathing evened out. Then he stood and walked into her bedroom, placed her under the covers and lit the usual candles before walking out.

(Couple months later)

Anne was sitting in the study while Severus was in the lab, quietly singing as she finished up her potions essay.

"You're too important for anyone
there? Something wrong with everything you see
But I, I know who you really are
you're the one who cries when you're alone

But where will you go
with no one left to save you from yourself
you cant escape
you can't escape

You think that I can? See right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You're left to face yourself alone

But where will you go
with no one left to save you from yourself
you cant escape
you can't escape

I realize you're afraid
But you can't Abandon everyone
you can't Escape
You don't Want to escape

I? So sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can? Live your whole life all alone
I can hear you in a whisper
but you can? Even hear me screaming

But where will you go
with no one left to save you from yourself
you cant escape
you can't escape

I realize you're afraid
But you can? Reject the whole world
you can? Escape
You won? Escape
You can? Escape
You don? Want to escape"

Anne stared at the book with disbelief. She couldn't figure out the one part of the essay.

' Crap, what the frick are the properties of moonbean?' Anne thought as she banged the quill on the extra parchment.

" That's it. I am asking dad." Anne stood up and moved into the doorway of the lab.

" Hey, dad? What are the properties of moonbean? I cant find my notes and I can't find them in the book." Anne asked, stepping into the lab. But she didn't see him.

" Hmm, odd. Dad never leaves a cauldron unmanned. Wonder what he is making." Anne walked up to the cauldron and instantly was overtaken by the fumes. She was lightheaded in an instant and feel to her knees.

" Dad?" She said before passing out on to her side.

Severus walked back into the study to check on Anne, but only saw her bag, quill and three full parchments and one half filled one. He moved forward and saw that it was the essay he had assigned. The only odd thing was that it was about twenty inches long and he had said it should be thirteen. He grinned.

" Yah, she's mine." He whispered.

Then he stood to find her. He was about to head to the kitchen when he noticed that the door to the lab was open wider then it was when he was flooed to the headmaster's office.

He walked in and at once saw Anne passed out near the cauldron.

" Shit! Anne! Anne, are you ok?" He moved quickly, grabbing her and moving her to her bed.

" Dad?" Anne asked, coming to.

" Yah, what were you doing in the lab?"

" I was looking for you. I couldn't find the properties to moonbean." She said, slowly sitting up.

" Is that all? I thought the fumes poisoned you. Do you know how long you were in there?" Severus moved a stray hair out of her eyes.

" I don't know." Anne answered, shaking her head, leaning into Severus's hand.

" I better go and finish that essay. You gonna come with?" Anne stood from the bed and smiled at Severus's hand that was lingering on her back.

" You needed my help didn't you?" He smirked.

" Yah, I did. Come on, that is the last of my homework and Harry and the others wanted me to meet them by the lake." Anne walked into the study and plopped down on to the couch and glared at the essay and the book.

" I looked and I looked. The properties of moonbean are not in here." She threw the book across the room and looked up at her father.

" Please don't throw your book and it's in here. It is just under a different name." He flipped through the now returned book. " There it is. Axelwax. Weird name, yes I know. But here's a hint, this will be on the final test in June." Severus handed to book back to a relived Anne and went to his desk and sat down as he watched her finish the essay, roll it up and put it in her bag.

" Thanks dad." Anne kissed his check and ran out of the room.

The group was down by the lake. It was spring and the weather was fair.

Anne was laying down with her head in Conor's lap, Ginny by them, Finbar and Jamie on the other side learning to play exploding snap, Harry and Ron playing wizard's chess, Fred and George were talking about anything and everything. There was another although only Anne knew he was there. Draco was sitting against a tree not to far away, occasionally looking up from the book that he was reading.

Anne was starting to dose when Fred's voice brought her back.

" Hey Anne, how about you sing? It has been awhile and I want to hear you sing."

" I don't know, Fred. I don't know if I want to." Anne responded, sitting up.

" Come on, Anne. You know you want to. Besides, if you don't, your fire magic will build up and you'll go boom." Conor whispered.

" 'Go boom'? What are you, four Conor?" Anne whispered back, smirking at him.

" Yah, I am four years old. That would make you one. Go on and sing. I haven't heard you sing in a long time." Conor pushed Anne up.

" Ok guys. Just give me a sec to think of a couple songs I want to sing." Anne moved to the rock that was directly in front of them. She turned back towards them and smiled.

" Ok, got 'em." Anne closed her eyes and at once music began to play.

"This is for all you girls about thirteen
High school can be so rough, can be so mean
Hold onto, onto your innocence
Stand your ground when everybody's giving in

This one's for the girls

This is for all you girls about twenty-five
In little apartments just trying to get by
Living on, on dreams and Spaghetti-Os
Wondering where your life is gonna go

This one's for the girls
Who've ever had a broken heart
Who've wished upon a shooting star
You're beautiful the way you are
This one's for the girls
Who love without holding back
Who dream with everything they have
All around the world
This one's for the girls

This is for all you girls about forty-two
Tossing pennies into the fountain of youth
Every laugh, laugh line on your face
Made you who you are today

Yeah we're all the same inside
from one to ninety-nine

The group was clapping and didn't notice Anne's gaze move to Draco, who was listening intently.

" Ok guys, the next two are, are a little angry." Anne said, warning them.

She closed her eyes again and fast rock music began to play.

"I will break into your thoughts
With what's written on my heart
I will break, break

I'm so sick, infected with
Where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss, selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick

If you want more of this
We can push out, sell out, die out
So you'll shut up
And stay sleeping
With my screaming in your itching ears

I'm so sick, infected with
Where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss, selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick

Hear it, I'm screaming it
You're heeding to it now
Hear it, I'm screaming it
You tremble at this sound

You sink into my clothes
This invasion makes me feel
Worthless, hopeless, sick

I'm so sick, infected with
Where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss, selfishness
I'm so, I'm so sick

I'm so sick, infected with
Where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss, selfishness
I'm so (I'm so)
I'm so sick (I'm so sick)
I'm so (I'm so)
I'm so sick (I'm so sick)"

She opened her eyes to find the group smirking because they knew whom she was directing that anger to.

She closed her eyes again to start the music.

"Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
Pushing all the mercy down, down, down
I wanna see you try to take a swing at me
Come on, gonna put you on the ground, ground, ground

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny?
What the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
I'm above you, smiling at you, drown, drown, drown
I wanna kill and rape you the way you raped me
And I'll pull the trigger
And you're down, down, down

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny?
What the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

All my friends are gone, they died (gonna take you down)
They all screamed, and cried (gonna take you down)

I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
Gonna take you down

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
I've got my body, got my body back against the...

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming
All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming"

She didn't open her eyes and just moved into the next song, venting her anger the best way she knew how.

"I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street

Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night

There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Oh, superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour

This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is the land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright all through the night
In the wake of this madness, as I held you tight
So long ago

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep

There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go round
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?

Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to"

Anne opened her eyes, rage gone from her eyes. Jamie was clapping wildly.

" Come, Anne, more!"

" Yah, more!"

" Ok, ok. Hold on." Anne answered, looking right at Conor and smirking; he smirked back.

Anne closed her eyes and the tune began to play.

"Cold late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
Never seen eyes so blue
I could not run away
It seemed we'd seen each other in a dream
It seemed like he knew me
He looked right through me
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet
Let's get high awhile
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try try try to understand
I'm a magic man."

Winter nights we sang in tune
Played inside the months of moon
Never think of never
Let this spell last forever
Summer over passed to fall
Tried to realized it all
Mama says she's a worried
Growing up in a hurry

"Come on home, girl" mama cried on the phone
"Too soon to lose my baby yet my girl should be at home!"
"But try to understand, try to understand
Try try try to understand
He's a magic man, mama
He's a magic man"

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"I cast my spell of love on you a woman from a child!
But try to understand, try to understand
I'm a magic man!"

Anne tilted her head back and smiled. She hadn't had this much of a release in such a long time.

She closed her eyes and centered herself on Conor, and a fast moving tune played.

"This may never start.
We could fall apart.
And I'd be your memory.
Lost your sense of fear.
Feelings insincere.
Can I be your memory?

So get back, back, back to where we lasted.
Just like I imagine.
I could never feel this way.
So get back, back, back to the disaster.
My heart's beating faster.
Holding on to feel the same.

This may never start.
I'll tear us apart.
Can I be your enemy?
Losing half a year.
Waiting for you here
I'd be your anything.

So get back, back, back to where we lasted.
Just like I imagine.
I could never feel this way.
So get back, back, back to the disaster.
My heart's beating faster.
Holding on to feel the same.

This may never start.
Tearing out my heart.
I'd be your memory.
Lost your sense of fear.
(I'd be your memory)
Feelings disappear.
Can I be your memory?

So get back, back, back to where we lasted.
Just like I imagine.
I could never feel this way.
So get back, back, back to the disaster.
My heart's beating faster.
Holding on to feel the same.

This may never start.
We could fall apart
And I'd be your memory.
Lost your sense of fear.
Feelings insincere.
Can I be your memory?
Can I be your memory?"

Anne was laughing. Generally laughing at her happiness. But then her thoughts shifted on the happenings of the wizarding and muggle world.

"Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's meant for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken

We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
we were meant to live"

" Anne, your amazing. Come on, let's go in." Conor was standing and made to move from the tree.

" No, Conor. You got me started. I must see this through. Besides, I want to sing. I will keep my mind off other things." Anne said, glaring up at Hogwarts.

Conor nodded, knowing at once whom she was talking about.

Anne glanced at Harry and before she could decide on a song, it seemed her mind chose for her, because sad piano music began to play.

"Playground school bell rings, again
Rain clouds come to play, again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello, I'm your mind, giving you someone to talk to...Hello...

If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
don't try to fix me
I'm not broken
Hello, I'm the lie living for you so you can hide...
don't cry...

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello, I'm still here, all that's left
of yesterday..."

" Anne, I think that's enough." Jamie said, standing beside Conor. The rest had stood. Anne turned and faced the lake and closed her eyes.

"The towers that shoulder your pride,
The words you've written in stone,
Sand will cover them,
Sand will cover you.
The streets that suffer your name,
your very flesh and your bones,
Sand will cover them,
Sand will cover you.

So put your faith,
in more than steel,
don't store your treasures up,
with moth and rust,
where thieves break in and steal.
Pull the fangs,
from out your heel.
O'we live in but a shadow of the real.

Step out from time,
See the dust of nations.
Step out from time,
hear the stars' ovation.

Saturn will not sleep until,
The sand has made us clean
Still we stack our stones and bury what we can,
But it all will be undone,
And nothing built under the Sun,
Will Ever stand before the endless march of sand.

So put your faith,
in more than steel,
don't store your treasures up,
with moth and rust,
where thieves break in and steal.
Pull the fangs,
from out your heel.
O'we live in but a shadow of the real.

They stood there and watched as flames consumed Anne and then as quick as the flames had come, they were gone, with no sign to say that they were there.

Anne turned and walked back to the school alone, tears streaming down her face, little bits of flames sparking from her hair as she raced down to the dungeons, collapsing onto the couch, not seeing Severus and Dumbledore standing in the doorway of the study.

The headmaster turned to Severus.

" You will explain this Severus. How does Anne Potter know the password to your quarters?" The old man asked, eying the younger man suspiciously.

Severus was watching Anne, not answering the man's questions. Instead he was asking Anne what was wrong.
