'Oh my goodness, I can't believe you actually came.' Harry turned to find out who had spoken.

'Hi I'm Andie, thanks for coming. A girl about Harry's age was holding out her hand. She stood only a few centimetres shorter than him with dark brown hair that was pulled back into a long ponytail. Her eyes were a light blue. She was wearing a dark purple top with jeans and trainers. Something about her seemed familiar but Harry couldn't think how.

'Hello,' Harry found himself saying as he shook her hand.

'Shall we sit here? I always like sitting by the window in cafes and watch all the people go by. It amazes me that there are just well so many people out there, all on their little errands, all with their own lives whom I will never know.' Andie looked thoughtfully for a moment before seemingly to remember herself and turned back to Harry with a smile. 'Or do you want to sit somewhere else.'

Harry, slightly taken back by the rather bubbly and pretty girl said simply, 'here is fine.'

Andie smiled, her face lit up when she smiled Harry noticed. It was one of those genuine smiles that you could not help but return. 'Sorry, I have a rather annoying habit of waffling on when I am nervous.'

They sat down opposite each other on the table overlooking the street outside.

Harry broke the slightly awkward silence that followed, 'I hope you haven't been waiting long.'

'No, not really. Anyway I'm just pleased you were prepared to hear me out. My letter must have come as a bit of a surprise.' Andy signalled to the waitress who hurried over to take their order. Harry ordered a coffee, Andie a pot of tea.

'It's a lovely day isn't it? You can see why so many people are out and about making the most of the sun.' Andie was once again looking out of the window.

'I don't mean to be rude but I think we have more important things to discuss than the weather,' Harry said quietly.

'Sorry, of course, you must be very busy.' Harry noticed that Andie was nervous. She was trying hard to hide it but she would keep looking down at the table, her long fringe would fall into her eyes and she would tuck in back out of the way behind her ear with a sigh. It was in those moments that Harry could see the fear in her eyes.

'You could say that.'

'I'm afraid I don't know all that much. I'm not sure whether it will be any help but I thought I should pass it on.'

'How did you find out this information?'

'That I can't tell you.'

Harry looked out at the window.

'Sorry,' Andie whispered.

'Go on.'

'I overhead a conversation about what you are looking for.'

'The horcruxes?'

Andie looked puzzled for a moment and then tried to cover it.

Harry stood up, 'is this some kind of joke? You don't even know what they are called and you expect me to trust and believe you.'

'Harry please just hear me out,' Andie pleaded.

'I think I have heard enough,' Harry turned to walk out.

'I know that this all seems crazy to you and I have not given you any reason to trust me. Quite the opposite actually in that I can't tell you where I heard the information or who the conversation was between. As I explained in my letter I am in a difficult situation. If people knew that I was here, with you, talking about what we are taking about well I wouldn't be here if you see what I mean. I can't even tell you my surname. The horcruxes were referred to and that you would be looking for them but a name wasn't given for them. Anyway I thought something like this would happen and I knew I had to tell you whether you liked it or not. So here,' Andie placed a piece of paper into Harry's hand. She sat back down calmly at the table and had a sip of her tea.

Harry stared at the folded piece of paper for a moment unsure about what to do. He could open it and read it or he could give it back to her and walk out and forget all about it. Harry sighed knowing that he wouldn't be able to forget, he would always wonder what was on the paper. Resigned to his fate he opened the paper,

It is hidden in a cabin in a forest near Hogsmead. A cup was mentioned.

Harry glanced over at Andie who was staring at him. She set down her cup, took a purse out of her handbag and placed a five pound note on the table. She stood up.

'What? You are leaving now?' Harry couldn't hide the surprise in his voice.

'Yes, I have done what I came to do.'

'Wait, I have I so many questions.'

'There is nothing else that I can tell you.'

'Andie, don't go.' Harry blocked her way out of the cafe.

'I have to, before he... they notice.' Andie looked down at the floor uncomfortably.

'Are you in some sort of trouble?' Harry whispered and gently put his hand oh hers.

'No, not really, not at the moment.'

'You don't sound very convinced.'

'Don't worry about me. Good luck with everything.' Andie stepped around Harry and walked out of the cafe.

'You can't just leave like this,' Harry followed her onto the pavement outside.

'I have to go.' Andie looked anxious.

'Well, can I have your address at the very least to let you know how I get on?'

Andie shook her head, ' it's just not possible, sorry. All the best. Bye.' She turned and started to walk down the street.

'Andie!' Harry exclaimed.

Andie stopped, reached into her bag and walked back to Harry. She took his hand and wrote an 11 digit number on it.

'What's this?' Harry looked at his hand in confusion.

'My mobile phone number. Texting is better. I must go.'

Andi ran off down the street before Harry could say anything else. All in all it had been a confusing morning and without really thinking about it he walked across the road and into a phone shop.

Ten minutes later he was sat back in the cafe with a phone in one hand a manual in the other. Harry cursed himself for not taking more notice of Dudley using one of his. Dudley of course had more than one than one and was constantly updating to the latest model. He finally figured out how to add Andie as a contact, his first and probably only contact. Texting was to be a bit more challenging but after five minutes Harry was happy with his message.

Hi Harry here hope you got home safely

He pressed the button to send it. Laying the phone down on the table he picked up his mug and finished his coffee. Harry had stop himself visibly jumping when the phone buzzed and made a little sound. He looked at the screen.

New message received from Andie. Read now?

Harry selected yes.

I didn't realise wizards carried mobiles as well as wands. Am nearly home. Andie x

He replied

Andie's reply came quickly

Harry was definitely getting quicker at texting

It is me that should be thanking you sorry for reacting the way that I did by the sound of it i wasn't the only one taking a risk hope you will be ok Harry x

Dont apologise you were right to be suspicious and don't worry about me i haven't been found out Ax

Maybe we will meet again?

There was a long break before

Maybe take care of yourself Harry Andie x

You too let me know if there is anything I can do.

Harry paid for his coffee and left wondering what Hermione, Ginny and Ron were going to think of his latest purchase.

A/N - I thought carefully about Harry having a mobile phone but couldn't see how a future chapter will work without it. Anyway please review :) as I feel like I am drowning in report writing and assessments! Any thoughts of who Andie is? Her identity will be revealed in the next chapter. Take care x.
