Again jeers were heard from the Death Eaters as Voldemort spoke before them. The loudest jeering came from his most loyal lieutenant, Voldemort waited for silence to reign again before he spoke again.

"Harry Potter must be captured." Voldemort told them, looking at each of his followers as they listened, "The rebellion will no doubt end if they are aware that their only 'hope' is once and for all, dead."

This was met with a sick happiness that had a rare smirk appear on Voldemort's face before it was wiped off as he turned away from the group and looked at his beloved snake.

Line Break

Anna, Harry and Hermione

"Hold on. Let me get this straight," Anna held up her hands after listening carefully to their tale, "You're actually warning me about a guy whose name you won't reveal and that… the both of you are wanted by him and his followers?"

The teenagers, Harry and Hermione now they'd each introduced themselves, nodded which only caused Anna to run her hand down her face and sigh before she turned away from them, went to the tent entrance and looked outside at the rain that poured outside. She'd been surprised when she saw that the place she'd woken up in had actually been a tent until she saw the calm look on Harry's face when he looked back at her.

"Anna, you're taking this a lot better than we thought…" Harry spoke up after about five minutes, causing her to look behind at him, scoff slightly and turn back to the rain.

"I've been thrown into a mental hospital because I claimed to hear Angels until I broke out, gone home to find my parents had been murdered, chased around America by people who want to use or kill me with a pair of brothers called Sam and Dean Winchester only to then crash in England, and to wake up in a tent that's bigger on the inside with a pair of teenagers who've just dropped a literal bomb that they're wanted by a terrorist group." Anna summarised, using her fingers to count down the events that had happened to her personally, grimacing as she looked back at them, "So, yeah I think I can take this a lot harder than I actually am."

She just caught a flash of sorrow in the teens' eyes before Hermione cleared her throat, muttered something that sounded like condolences and went into the kitchen once again as Harry stood there while she looked out at the weather again.

"You're an orphan?" Came the quietest question from the teenage boy as he came up behind her and stood there, looking at the young woman beside him as she mutely brought a hand up to her eye as she sniffed, shrugged and answered, "I'm guessing you're an orphan, huh?"

Harry just nodded and looked out at the rain, before he was sighing, "Lost my parents at fifteen months. I can tell you this, Anna. It doesn't get any easier, the pain… It just sort of numbs after a while."

"You're actually wise for a teenager," Anna observed when she looked at him. Harry just shrugged as he thought back to the other deaths in his life; Cedric Diggory, his Godfather, Sirius Black and just the previous school year, his headmaster, Albus Dumbledore had all impacted on him and his friends and school and torn a hole that he felt would never heal as he muttered, "I've lost more than my parents. I lost my Godfather and the school Hermione and I have had a couple of deaths."

"I'm sorry." Came Anna's whisper before she let herself sit down as cooking sounds came from the kitchen area. Her demeanour was still wary as she watched the rain fall and Harry watched her as they just talked about their different countries. Anna spoke about how she'd travelled with the two brothers she'd mentioned prior to coming to England and Harry spoke about the various adventures they'd had before going on the run. He omitted the use of magic as Anna laughed at Hermione punching a fellow school-goer, causing the girl to pop her head out curiously. The sound was cut short as she looked out at the rain and crouched into an alert posture as her face went blank. Loud thunderous cracks echoed through the rain as Harry and Hermione went over to the tent flap and were pushed back by the woman as gleeful voices came ever closer.

"Hermione," Harry muttered, watching the woman grip something with a vice-like grip. Looking at her friend, Hermione raised an eyebrow before he quietly said, "Did we reset the wards?"

Her eyes went wide before she was shaking her head and they were hurrying to pack up while the voices got louder as the people got closer. Harry hissed as he put a hand to his forehead, causing Hermione to look at him while he shook his head and mouthed, "He's annoyed."

"We gotta move." Anna's voice came from behind them. Looking round as they startled, Harry saw a change in the woman as she stood there. There was a sense of urgency and a dangerous look in her face as she began to help, throwing things to Hermione who packed them away and grabbed them both before the bag was even clasped shut and they disappeared, the familiar feeling of apparition squeezing in on them before they appeared in a messed up living room with every surface covered in books of some topic or other. Anna seemed to recognise where they were as she looked around the room and let the teenagers go.

"Dammit, Cas. I hope you've got good ne-." Came a gruff voice. A voice that had Anna turning around and her demeanour changing from tense to relieved at the sight of the man stood staring at her in shock.

"Hey Dean."

Erm… let me know if this is a good ending to this chapter… This is waaay overdue and I'm not sure if I'm gonna be keeping this laptop when the course I need it for is over so I'll be keeping everything on my little blue dongle for the meantime.
