A/N: Okay, I don't exactly believe that ariel-chan is moking me because she is my most dedicated fan. Anyway, sorry I always take too long to update this, but don't worry, I haven't given up, I will never give up.
Andrea was shocked beyond belief. How could Lord Voldemort have come here? Hogwarts was designed to keep things like this from happening! Ionia looked terrified, and Andrea wanted to confrot her, but there was no time for that now! She had to find the others! Turning quickly to Hermione, she whispered in furtive tones.
"How could this be happening? Voldemort is not supposed to be able to come here- Hogwarts uses protection!" Hermione looked as lost as Andrea felt.
"I don't know but we can't seem too upset or Ionia will get worried," Hermione sayd quickly. "Come on, I have an idea." The three of them ran quickly up the stairways, and into the boy's dormitory. Hermione, Ron, and Crow were not there. Andrea felt sick with worry, and Ionia and Hermione looked like they felt the same. Suddenly tired, mentally and physically, Andrea collapsed on the bed in despair. Ionia went down next to her.
Hermione stayed standing, pacing back and forth with all her might. "Okay you two, we can rest for a second, but we have to think," she said, taking charge for a moment so Andrea could get her strength back. Andrea was grateful for that- Hermione was a very good friend, who was completely thoughtful of other people. Though she thought of herself as well- Andrea knew that people who never consider their own well-being can hardly help others.
"Well, first things first, we shoud find the boys," said Hermione. Ionia and Andrea silently agreed. "And we should find your sisters, Ionia." Ionia looked very happy at this prospect.
"But what about Christina?" said Andrea.
"Oh no are you still going on about her again?" Hermione sighed. "Well okay, if you insist, we can find Christina, though she isn't really deserving of your help, Andrea." Andrea wisely decided not to argue this point, as now was not the time. She did notice that Ionia looked happy at the prospect of looking for the third-year, however. Andrea was glad to have someone on her side.
After about ten minutes, no more messages from Voldemort had come over the intercom, and the three girls were off around the castle, hunting. Like before, they couldn't find anyone that they knew, or anyone at all for that matter. And much as Andrea wanted to frind Christina and her friends, she was most worried about the disappearance of Dumbledore. Dumbledore held the school together, and she didn't know what they would all do if Dumbledore was missing.
Every once in a while Andrea looked down at Ionia to make sure she was doing okay, and she noticed Hermione doing the same. Because she was so brave and nobel, it was easy to forget that Ionia was so much younger than them- only eleven years old, a first year. But Andrea still always felt a protective feeling over her her, and she had a feeling that Hermione sort of felt the same. Andrea sighed. It was going to take a lot of work to protect Ionia during all of this, the girl she considered like a younger sister at least. At least all have Hermione's help, she thought. And hopefully the help fo Harry, Ron, and Crow. She didn't want to think about the possibility that they might not find them.
Suddenly, going though one of the less-used hallways, Andrea heard a voice coming from a closet. "Help me…" it said, whispering as loudly as it could. Andrea stopped, shocked.
"Stop!" she said to the others. "I know that voice!"
