It had been about a month since Andie had come to Hogwarts for the first time. Harry was sitting at a table in the Common Room with piles of books around him. Hermione was finishing up her Arithmancy homework, and Andie was helping Ron with his potions essay. Ginny was pouring over the books with Harry, trying to find some record of who R.A.B was.

"What about Rudolph Alexander Brand?" Ginny asked Harry in a whisper.

"No, we checked him out last month," Harry said, getting annoyed with Ginny because this was about the fifteenth time that she had asked him about an R.A.B.

"Could it be Rupert Axebanger Brookstanton?" Ginny asked everyone.

"No, I looked him up last year he can't be it," Hermione replied.

"Rosalind Antigone Bungs?" Ginny asked.

"No," Andie replied and everybody looked at her nobody thought that Andie would know whether or not it was the right one. "Well, it can't be, because I was looking these names up with Harry yesterday, and if you look next to her name, it says that she died in 1954, before Voldemort even came to power for the first time. So you can't assume that it was her."

"Oh," Ginny whispered under her breath, and continued to look through her book, and didn't call out any more names.

"Okay, hand Ron and I each a book," Andie said as she had just finished helping Ron with his essay. They looked through the books, and Hermione grabbed one too. After flipping through many pages of books for hours, Ginny left. A few hours later Hermione and Ron decided that they had prefect duties. Which left Andie and Harry, and it was well after midnight before somebody said a word.

"I can't find anything!" Harry screamed his face turned red in frustration, as he could not complete the one task that Dumbledore had asked him. It had been many months since Dumbledore's death, and Harry was not any closer to finding out who the mysterious R.A.B was.

"Harry, let's think, maybe we shouldn't be looking for someone with the initials R.A.B but think. Rab does that mean anything? Could it be like Rabbi, you know a Jewish faith leader?" Andie asked trying to comfort Harry.

"But what would a Rabbi have to do with the Horcrux?" Harry asked, a little calmer.

"Okay, maybe not Rabbi, but what about something similar. Maybe it's code for something like RAB is BAR or ARB, maybe even something more complex?" Andie's eyes looked questioningly at Harry as she waited for him to respond to her latest idea.

"Wait, let's think, it could simply mean R is S, A is B, B is C? So SBC?" Harry asked.

"Like the phone company in America? I don't think so," Andie said suppressing a laugh at his absurd idea.

"Do you have any better ideas?" Harry responded in a less serious tone after he realized how dumb his last comment had been. They laughed and then hit the books again, this time looking for R.A.B again. After looking through about two more encyclopedias of wizards and the lack of talking, Harry was starting to put the many books away.

"Regulus Black?" Andie asked, and Harry dropped the three encyclopedias that he was attempting to put away. Andie's eyes narrowed and she looked at Harry "You know him?"

"I know of him, it can't be, though, one minute," Harry ran up the stairs to his dormitory, and Andie heard a lot of yelling from his dorm.

"I was sleeping!" Ron yelled as he came down the stairs, he tripped on the last step and he screamed in pain. "What did you need?" Ron said with his eyes still shut as he plopped on the couch. Andie conjured some coffee for all of them.

"Okay, do you remember two summers ago when we were at Sirius's house?" Harry asked his incompetent friend.

"Who's Sirius?" Andie asked and a pain shot up Harry's heart, he never really talked about Sirius because he thought everyone already knew. Harry held up a finger to signal one minute.

"Yea, what about it?" Ron mumbled.

"Do you remember that locket that we couldn't open? Do you think that that could be the Horcrux?" Harry said eagerly.

"I dunno I guess." Ron said now trying to fall asleep on the couch.

"So, it could be in this Sirius guy's house?" Andie asked excited now that they may have gotten closer to finding a Horcrux. Harry glanced at Andie and gave a half-hearted smile seeing how excited she had gotten.

"Well, I'll have to get the headmistress's permission to leave, with people to help of course. So tomorrow is Friday, and I can ask her if we can go and then come back to school, that way we won't miss any class if we leave after lunch tomorrow. Think that she's going to let us, Ron?" Harry glanced backward to look at Ron, and had found that he had fallen asleep. Harry rolled his eyes and sat in a chair, he looked at Andie excitedly, "So do you think that will work?"

"Of course it will," Andie replied smiling, "Who are you going to have come with you?"

"Well, I'm thinking Ron, Hermione, and you," Harry said.

"What about Ginny? I know that she would love to go and sixth years have Friday afternoons off too," Andie said while looking at her necklace, not wanting Harry to see the look on her face.

"Um, yea, she can come too," Harry, said awkwardly. He picked up the books and started to rearrange them because he wanted to make sure that Andie did not see how reluctant he was to say this. Andie sat in her chair and started to twist her hair, and gradually changed it to a deep crimson. Harry looked up feeling more relaxed and nearly fell over for he was so startled by the sudden change in Andie's hair color.

"Having problems Harry?" Andie said while laughing, his misstep had lightened the moment. They were laughing and planning out how they were going to ask the Headmistress about their little field trip after school and Andie had conjured some more coffee. As she sipped on the freshly brewed coffee, a clock in the distance chimed three. "Harry, you still need to explain one thing to me. Who's Sirius?"

Harry's head hung, he was hoping that she wouldn't ask this question. Harry was going to have to live through remembering Sirius all over again when they traveled to Sirius's house later that day, so he decided better now then later. "Well, he was my Godfather, when Voldemort was coming back to power, he tricked me into thinking that Sirius was in trouble. So I left to try to save Sirius, and when I went the Death Eaters attacked some of my friends and me. Sirius wasn't in trouble when we went there, but when the fight broke out; the Order came to try to save us. Sirius was fighting his cousin, Bellatrix, she killed him." Harry's voice grew weaker as he got closer to the end of his story. Andie now understood how hard this was going to be for Harry, she walked over to him and hugged him. The tears filled his eyes as he realized how much he had needed to talk about it; he had not talked about for over a year.

After a while, Harry got up and walked over to the stairs, he climbed up to the seventh year boy's dormitory and collapsed in his bed. Finally he would be able to get some sleep. He stopped dreaming that for the past three years that everyone who died died because of him. He realized that he needed to move on, it had happened and there was nothing that he could do about it now. The only thing that Harry could do would be to find the last of the Horcruxes.

The next day Harry awoke to find no one but Ron asleep on the couch in the Common Room. "RON, WAKE UP!" Harry yelled out. Ron jumped up off of the couch.

"What did you do that for?" Ron said through closed eyelids, as he walked up to change. Andie and Hermione were coming down the stairs at that moment.

"Okay Harry, why don't you tell Hermione the plan and I will ask the Headmistress?" Andie said as she stalked out of the portrait hole to the Great Hall.

"What plan?" Hermione asked. She was gathering the books that she had left in the Common Room last night as Harry explained what they were going to do. "Well, that sounds, um, well, good?" Hermione asked wondering whether she was supposed to be happy or sad that they were going back to number 12 Grimmauld Place.

"Yes Hermione, good," Harry told her as Ron and Ginny came down the stairs and he had to explain the plan again. Then they all traveled to the Great Hall to get their breakfast and to ask whether the Headmistress would allow them to go or not from Andie. When they got to the Great Hall they could not find Andie anywhere. They took their seats regardless and began to fill up. Andie and Professor McGonnagal walked into the Great Hall. Andie took her bag off of her shoulder and set it next to her as she took a seat next to Hermione. "So, what did she say?" Harry asked eagerly.

"She said that Ginny and I can't go but that you, Hermione, and Ron can go, as long as you take these with you," Andie said as she handed everyone a block that would be used as a walkie-talkie. "You can also take another person with you."

"Why can't I go?" Ginny asked.

"Because you can't apparate," Harry answered realizing this. "But why can't you go Andie?"

"I don't know, but please just get the locket and bring it back here, I want to see what happens," Andie said eagerly.

"Okay, I guess that we could do that," Harry agreed, and they continued to eat. When breakfast was over, they walked to their potions class, where they were learning stuff that they already knew. Throughout the day, they were extremely bored, but when it was lunchtime, they ran to the Great Hall. "So, Andie, do you think that you could change your appearance and come with us instead?" Harry asked while grabbing a sandwich and some chips and stuffing them into his mouth.

"Um, no, I can't do that," Andie said mesmerized by how messily Harry and Ron were eating.

"Well why not?" Ron asked through a full mouth of food and grabbing another hand full of chips.

"Because I promised my parents that I wouldn't use my metamorphmigus to trick any of the teachers," Andie replied.

"Aw, Andie but it's just a promise! Besides, McGonnagal is the headmistress, not a teacher of yours," Harry whined.
