A/N: You know what's bad? When you have to read your own story to remember the plot. I am sooooo sorry to have kept you guys waiting? Forgive me? Review!
The weeks passed with out much event, we had had the odd exciting event like my brother almost killing Draco, yeah that had been an awesome day. I still wasn't talking to him, Hermione was a bit but she was very disappointed in him. I on the other hand had to be held back as I almost had killed him in the very moment he explained what happened.
Draco had been realized from the Hospital Wing a few days later however and was back to his depressed scowling self. That and he was now ignoring me.
Harry is like the master of screwing up I swear, freaking brothers.
"OI! Where are you going? Going to kill some first years for shits and giggles?" I ask hotly seeing my brother run down the stairs from his dormitory Ron trailing behind him. Beside me Hermione mutters at me to behave under her breath but doesn't give much effort in reprimanding me seeing Ginny staring daggers at me from the other couch. Yes yes we get it Ginny you love my brother and think I'm a big bitch, however starting at me isn't going to do anything. Twat.
Harry gives me a sad look before mumbling to the other three before handing a bottle to Hermione and bending down to grab my arm heading for the door dragging me.
"Oy! I'm mad at you, get off me you twit! Dragging me around isn't going to help you, you should know this" I yell slapping at his arm with my free hand. Suddenly he stops spinning and putting both hands on my shoulder holding me in place. Great now what.
"I know you're mad still, I don't.." he trails off,"- I had a feeling you were," he pauses before shaking his head. "Look Lizzie, I don't care what is going on with you and Malfoy, and don't deny it" he silences me holding up his hand, "your not talking to me because I hurt him, last year you wouldn't have given a damn. I'm not happy with you either but something is going to happen tonight I can feel it. Be careful. Please for me, just be careful."
"Harry, I'm s-", "I have to go, Dumbledor's waiting. We'll talk about it later I promise" he interrupts me, placing a light kiss on my head before running down the hall throwing his cloak over himself.
My mind was racing, what as going to happen tonight? Why did he give Hermione and Ron the map? I dance between the Common Room door and the open hallway, where to go, where to go.
There wasn't many places I could go, if I tried to go visit Draco, Hermione and Ron would see and stop me. I could always go find Severus, that seemed like a good bet. I head out the open door and down the hall taking in all the details I seemed to have taken for granted the last six years. Portraits lined the staircases and halls the occupants for the most part were quite or sleeping, it wasn't very late but I guess they could do what they wanted. For the first time I felt alone when hearing my footsteps rebound off the stone corridor, I wasn't alone often now that I thought about it I was always with somebody, and not very often in the halls by myself to hear the tone of only my footsteps.
"Severus?"
"Should I ask why you're out of your Common Room or were you just feeling rebellious tonight?"
I grunt knowing this was the best greeting I would get. There weren't many things I was afraid of, bees, the occasional bird or magical creature, but I wouldn't say I had too too many fears.
However the moment Severus looked up at me, I was afraid, not because he looked angry because I knew this was the night that everything was going to change.
"No" I say firmly shaking my head as he stands from his desk gesturing for me to sit, "No".
"You made a promise to Dumbledor, you made a promise to me. Tonight you will open the box I gave you at-"
"NO!"
"Elizabeth you took on the responsibility and now you are going to have to deal with it. Tonight is the night, in a few mere hours everything will change. You are to return home on the Hogwarts Express, you are not to attend the Weasley wedding this summer. You are to open the box, and assume your new identity starting when you first walk through the door to our home."
"Severus I just can't-"
"Did you or did you not agree to this Elizabeth, it is dangerous, you are to do as I say!" he yells sitting me down forcefully on a chair, he looked concerned and stressed, in fact I had never seen him look so stressed.
Well look at that he's finally able to show emotion
"If I have to leave tonight, I will be home soon, you are not to leave the house understand?"
Someone's turning into a nagging mother
I feel the world spin slightly, this was too much information to take in at once, I see the room and Severus start to move in and out of focus.
"Elizabeth? Are you even listening!"
Lizzie dear? Oh no, put your head between your legs don't faint now! Don't oh Merlin your Mums going to kill me. Shit!
