N/A: I'm so sorry it took me so long to update! I've been so busy with softball and school! Now I'll stop with excuse since I know you all don't care.

P.S. I can't think of a ps write now.
"And the winner is… Remus Lupin!"
"What the bloody hell!" yelled Addy loudly over everyone's clapping, "Did anyone even vote for him!"
The applause only got louder as Remus took a bow.
Addy just stood there, open mouthed, cursing under her breath.
Two hours later, the foursome walked out of the club. Addy, James and Sirius were singing songs on the top of their lungs, running ahead of Remus, who was smirking at his friend's antics.
(N/A: bolded is Sirius, slanted is Addy, normal is James and underlined is all even Remus)
I am so high. I can hear heaven.
I am so high. I can hear heaven.
Oh but heaven, no heaven don't hear me.
And they say that a hero can save us.
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.
They reached the Leaky Cauldron. They stopped singing and crept in silently.
Assembled in the pub was a group of odd characters. They all had on long masks and billowing black robes even though there was no wind.
The whole pub had an icy silence. The group of about six masked people walked through the pub, unnoticed by any others except the four children who had just entered. Addy felt shivers go down her spine. One of the men was hunched over, almost like a werewolf. Addy's vision fogged up and she felt her brain compress as though pressure was being applied from all directions.
The man obviously felt it too and turned to look in Addy's direction. Their eyes met momentarily and Addy had strong feeling of familiarity, though she had never seen those before, except in her mirror.
A tall man in the center who seemed to be the leader ushered the hunched over man towards the front and Addy's eye contact was broken.
"Who were those people?" asked James.
"There's only one way to find out," answered Addy. Jaw set, she turned and led the way out of the pub after the masked people.
"Wait!" said Sirius, pushing Addy aside, "I'll lead."
"I'm perfectly capable of leading!" Addy whispered back to him, grabbing his arm. He pushed her back directly behind him so that if she had moved her head an inch it would be pressed against his back. Addy also couldn't help but notice that he had not let go of her hand.
In silence they trailed the people into a small alleyway. Sirius in the front, Addy directly behind him followed closely by James with Remus taking up the rear.
The alley was small. The shops on either side were dirty and dusty. They looked ancient and decrypted, as though they had seen many centuries turmoil.
"This Knockturn Alley!" whispered Remus.
"Thank you mister point-out the obvious!" Sirius whispered back, but Addy and James exchanged looks that clearly said they didn't know what knockturn alley was.
The group of figures had stopped, they were whispering to a shopkeeper.
"Closer!" whispered Addy. She let go of Sirius's hand and crept closer to the people. Sirius ran after her, leaving James and Remus in the shadows.
The men turned around. Instantly, they caught sight of Addy and Sirius, not well hidden in the street.
"What do we have here?" hissed the man who seemed to be their leader. Finding no way out of it, Addy decided to answer.
"Addison, Addison Mae. Twelve years old, second year at Hogwarts. And I'm warning you, don't mess with me. I'm top in all my classes!"
Sirius stood there open mouthed at what he was hearing. James and Remus were about to run from their hiding spot when Addy caught sight of them. She shook her head, telling them to remain hidden.
Pain. Her whole body shook from the biggest pain greater than that of her first cruciatus curse.
But then, who can surge a body with more pain that Lord Voldemort?
Next thing Addy knew, the world had gone black.
When she came back to her senses, she felt hard cords around her wrists. She was tied to a chair. She turned her head to look at the chair's occupant. It was Sirius. He was still knocked out from the blow.
Addy sighed. The room was completely uninteresting. There was no one else in it except herself and Sirius. She knew it was pointless to look at him. She already had his whole face memorized.
With nothing better to do, she sang softly to herself.
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
Unbeknownst to her, Sirius had stirred and was listening to her every word. He waited until she was silent to make his presence known, not wanting her to stop.
"Where are we?" he asked.
"Why do you think I know?" she snapped.
"I don't know, who were those people?"
"I don't know!"
"I think I do."
"What?"
"This summer, a man came to our house. He said his man was Voldemort, Lord Voldemort, he said he was going to purify the wizard race, do you think its him?"
"Maybe, but then, why am I alive? Why didn't he kill me? If I'm scum in his eyes, why didn't he kill me?" A memory flooded back to her, not a real memory, but one that seemed to flow through her body.
She was in the street, surrounded by the masked people.
"Kill them, finish them off!" ordered the leader.
"No!" shouted the hunched over man with the familiar eyes.
"Why?"
"They might be useful," he stammered.
"Useful?"
"Yes."
"I think, the hunchback man saved us."
"Why?"
"We might be useful"
"Useful?"
"Yeah…"
"How are we going to get out of here?"
The two sat in silence, niehter knowing what to do.
Someone told me love will ALL save us.
But how can that be, look what love gave us.
A world full of killing, and blood-spilling
That world never came.
And they say that a hero can save us.
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.
Now that the world isn't ending, its love that I'm sending to you
It isn't the love of a hero, and that's why I fear it wont do.
And they say that a hero can save us.
Im not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.
(N/A: what do you think? The end is sort of a though pattern.)
