They sat in silence at lunch, waiting for Andie's response to Harry's whine; the truth was that Andie was thinking through everything in her mind. It was true that the Headmistress wasn't a teacher. Though something just didn't feel right about the whole thing. "Okay, I'll go, you go and tell the headmistress that you have everyone ready, and everything is set, I'll meet you at the Three Broomsticks in twenty minutes." And Andie ran off to the Gryffindor tower.
On her way to the Gryffindor tower, she ran into someone she had never met before. "Excuse you!" the girl yelled. Andie yelled a sorry back but kept running. Once she got to the portrait, she, while out of breath, said the password. She ran up to her dorm, threw open her trunk, a necklace, and a backpack. She filled the backpack with various items from her trunk, and put her necklace on. Andie flicked her wand and gave herself different clothes, a white tank, some of her baggy, ripped jeans, and her sneakers.
"I'm forgetting something," Andie thought to herself, and then she looked in the mirror and saw her face. "That's it!" So she changed her facial features, and made her hair brown. She looked at her watch and realized how late it was getting. She grabbed her bag and ran back down all of the stairs. She got to the Three Broomsticks with a minute to spare.
"Andie!" Ron exclaimed and Harry rose from the table that they were sitting at. Andie proceeded to walk over there.
"Oh, Harry!" Someone called from behind Andie. Andie spun around to see the girl that she had bumped into in the hall.
"Oh, Romilda, what are you doing here?" Harry asked under his breath, his eyes still on Andie.
"Oh, Ginny said that you may need some help, and I knew you would just love to have mine, so I decided to come along." Romilda explained.
"Sorry, there must have been some misunderstanding," Hermione stepped in and told Romilda to leave.
"Well, fine, I'll just go then, see you later honey," Romilda spoke to Harry. Andie was completely confused.
"Who was that?" Andie asked.
"Someone who is obsessed with Harry," Ron explained, "Hey, Harry, remember when I drank that love potion she made for you?"
"That wasn't a very good experience Ron," Harry reminded Ron, that he nearly died.
"Oh, yeah, I was trying to forget that part." Ron blushed.
They got up and started to leave, they were just going to apparate from outside the Three Broomsticks. "Hey you know, maybe we could have let her come, she could have died, and I wouldn't have to deal with her anymore." Harry explained.
"HARRY!" Andie and Hermione cried out at the same time. Harry laughed.
"I was only joking!" Harry exclaimed.
They were ready to apparate. Harry counted to three and they all apparated outside of number twelve Grimmauld place. Harry checked to make sure that everyone was there. They then stepped into the decrepit building. Harry spoke once more, "In pairs, we will look for the locket," Harry explained and Harry and Andie walked off in one direction, and Ron and Hermione in the other.
After about an hour of looking all over the house for the locket, Harry spoke. "Hey have you found anything remotely interesting yet?" Harry asked. Andie was walking into the next room.
"No," she shouted. It was just loud enough to make the portrait on the wall scream out.
"Oh, my master I feel your presence in this place!" The portrait screeched and then looked down at Harry and Andie. "Oh, it's just you, and a new traitor."
"Oh, Andie, I should have warned you about this inconsiderate portrait. This is my godfather's mother, or grandmother, I forgot." Harry explained.
"What are you wearing?" The portrait called out. It was so sudden that Andie tripped over a box that was in the middle of the hall.
Ron and Hermione ran down the stairs to see Andie on the floor. "Merlin's beard, Andie, are you alright?"
"What happened? You look like you have seen a ghost," Ron explained. He stuck out his hand and Andie took it. Ron pulled her up, once Andie stood up she started dusting off her clothes, and her hair was a mess. She didn't care about that though, she didn't even notice. Andie was gazing into a mirror now, examining her clothes and her necklace to see what the portrait was talking about.
"What are you looking at Andie?" Harry asked. Andie turned around to face Harry, Ron, and Hermione to explain.
