AN / Hi everyone, Becky here. Sorry it's been such a long time since I've updated this story but in all honesty, I had completely forgot about it but I'm sure you can understand why. My life took a turn for the worst and I've had too much on my mind to think about other then writing my story. I'm not talking about exams, well that's part of it, but there are many other factors that have caused me to decay and forget this story. I hope you can understand as I've lost so much during this past year. Anyway I have another chapter for you. Hope you enjoy.

Pansy awoke with a jolt of anger and annoyance for the third time that night. "Will someone make that bird shut up?!" She screamed to the other girls in the 1st year Slytherin dorm. They had had about the same equal amount of sleep as Pansy had had these past few days. "Pansy we've tried but Squawk doesn't listen to any of us, He only listens to Rebecca." Daphne stated in a sleepy voice whilst rubbing the sleep away from her eyes. It was 6 O clocks on a Saturday morning, Mid January and Squawk was hooting very loudly for everyone to here. In Rebecca's absence from school he had been missing her very much. Daphne took charge feeding him and taking him outside for a fly but it didn't compare to his owner Rebecca. "Where is Rebecca Anyway?" Millicent Bulstrode asked, sitting up from her bed. "No ones seen her in days, I'm very worried." Daphne replied. She seemed very calm and content but deep inside they all knew she was missing her friend. Rebecca originally felt out of place in the Slytherin house but after Daphne's kindness and friendship she was shown that she may have a place among the snakes after all, as well as being friends with the lions. Tracey Davis awoke and upon hearing the conversation began the gossip. "Some say Rebecca was murdered by You Know Who." "Some say she was taken into the Forbidden forest and tortured until she died." "I say she has escaped and began a new life among the Muggles." Pansy and Millicent laughed along with Tracey at the different possibilities of Rebecca's disappearance until Daphne the loyal friend stepped in knowing Rebecca wouldn't be very happy and she understood that this was actually a very serious matter. "Guys they are just rumours, none of them are true. Can we just get ready for breakfast? Willingly obliging, the girls rose from their beds and began to get ready for the upcoming day. Quiddicth, Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff

Rebecca lay on the cold concrete not able to move. Her body had become too painful to even sit up straight against the wall. Her mouth was dry and her stomach ached for food. Professor Snape had long been gone from the cell they shared and hadn't returned in days, hours, months. Rebecca didn't know what time it was anymore. She didn't know how much time had passed or how long she had been away from Hogwarts. Everyday the tall, Hairy monster arrived in the morning and provided her with food and a disgusting tasting broth for the day. He always stayed standing for a few minutes before moving out of the cell, as if waiting for her to say something to him. She refused to look at him knowing that the green eyes would haunt her dreams forever after. Saying she was scared of him was an understatement. She wasn't scared, she was terrified. She would sleep roughly on the floor at night, tossing and turning to the horrific nightmares that haunted her. The monster would always be there, whispering 3 words to her in her dream. "Just you wait." They were said the first time he brought her food but they had a deeper meaning to them. One Rebecca spent her days trying to solve. Trying to find out what was she was waiting for. The conversations throughout the day would continue from the other side of her cell door. She would listen in wonder to what they were saying, only hearing their voices but never seeing their faces. It was always about the man, the man who will protect her, keep her safe. Rebecca could only wonder why he wasn't keeping her safe now, at her time of need. Before she fell asleep at night, Rebecca longed for her friends: Karma, Daphne, Hermione and Ron. She wouldn't even say no to see the face of Draco Malfoy or Pansy Parkinson. At least she would be safe. But most of all she longed for Harry. A bond between Twins was hard to separate and hard to break. They would always be connected even if they were miles apart even across the other side of the world. They would always be together in spirit.

Dumbledore sat upon his chair in his office as a pair of stern eyes stared back at him. Worried faces of the Hogwarts professors filled his office. McGonagall stood on his side listening intently to the conversation waiting for someone to say what was going to happen next. Severus Snape had been taken, on orders of he who must not be named and replaced by a Doppler ganger of a death eater using ployjucie potion to transform so nothing looked out of the ordinary to the students or teachers. However on an evening about a day after the kidnap, Snape had been returned with new information concerning the girl who lived. "So she is being held by the Dark lord in a basement below the old Auror sanctuary at Grimauld place?" Dumbledore clarified to the other teachers after Professor Snape had told his story about seeing her being thrown into a cell with him. "Why does he want her?" McGonagall asked clearly worried about her. "The Dark Lord knows what is to become of her and intends to use it as a weapon in order to defeat the order and restore him to the power over the wizarding world." He breathed heavily. He knew her future as well, Voldemort had told him himself. "If she isn't taken by him and raised in the proper way the Dark Lord fears that her God Father will help her control her power and become a hero of the Wizarding world and will eventually be raised to help her brother defeat He who must not be Named." Snape was well into the death eater ranks knowing how they worked and what their plans were. But stopping him was not somewhere even he thought he would be able to go. "We must rescue her; Send out a set of Aurors to retrieve her." McGonagall ordered, clearly flustered by the whole encounter. "That will not be needed Minerva." Snape said clearly. "He intends to bring her back to Hogwarts but I do not know in what state he intends to bring her back."

"The Dark Lord has seen your power and has foreseen the power within you, little witch" The monster had come to her room that morning to tell her that she would be apparated back to Hogwarts that afternoon. "He Wishes you well and looks forward to seeing you again soon." "I hope he never sees me again soon. I don't know who your Dark lord is but I can assure you I will not be taken by him again." Rebecca had a lot of confidence after being told she was going to be free from the horrors of the dark dungeon but still feared the great monster with the hairy body and horrid green eyes like death. She was blindfolded and yanked over the monsters huge build and felt a weird feeling as if she was flying through the air until she was landed on the ground by the boat house in the grounds of Hogwarts. He un blindfolded and she was able to breathe the fresh air again after god knows how long of a time she was in that dungeon. She looked up to see a wand pointing at her being held by the monster itself and he bellowed "OBLIVIATE" And the memory of the past 4 days was gone from her mind as she lay on the ground wondering what happened to her and what she was doing by the black lake at what seemed like very late into the night.

Rebecca managed to stand, her body weak and her legs were like jelly. She was very hungry and her mouth was very dry. As she tried to talk herself into walking up to the castle she found that no words would come out and she vomited onto the grass. On small baby steps and very weak legs, Rebecca made her way slowly up to the castle in hope that someone was around at this time on night to let her in and downstairs to the Slytherin common room. Many questions ran through her mind about what had happened to her and why she was where she was at this time of night. Maybe she had been sleepwalking and fell asleep by the black lake, after all it was her favourite place in Hogwarts, but then again if she was sleep walking then surly Filch would have spotted her and probably given her detention and sent her back to her common room. She made her way up to the castle and past Dumbledore's office. Then she had an idea. She called up to the magical staircase hoping that it would understand that it was an emergency. (This was Hogwarts after all it may have worked) She saw how the stair case unwounded and let her rise up to the headmaster office. Once up she knocked on the door, holding onto the wall in hope of not falling over on her weak legs, she waited until she could here the promising footsteps of Albus Dumbledore approaching the door before falling to the ground, unable to hold herself up any longer.

Professor Dumbledore awoke from his slumber to a knocking at his door, Who would be knocking at his door at well past midnight he wondered to himself as he approached with his wacky dressing gown and bright PJs covering him. He opened the door and looked down into the eyes of a very thin and ill looking Rebecca Potter. He immediately picked her up, as if knowing that she couldn't stand on her own two feet and placed her on a chair while producing some water for her to drink. He strolled over to the fire place and immediately called for Madam Pompfrey to come to his office right away. She knew straight away it was serious when his only words were "She has returned."

Rebecca stared around Dumbledore's office in a blur, she was very tired yes but everything going on around her forced to keep her awake. She was shocked at all the fuss people were giving her; even Dumbledore had called for Madam Pompfrey to have a look at her. She was only sleep walking she assumed so why would everyone be this concerned about her. She slowly sipped on some water, enjoying the refreshing taste it gave her in her mouth as well as munching on left over from looked like dinner. She was very grateful for the water and food as she couldn't understand why they tasted so good to her it's not like she hadn't tasted it before. She remembered having her dinner a few hours ago as well as having a drink of pumpkin juice before going to bed. However what she didn't know was that what she thought was a few hours ago was actually about four days ago. After an initial examination by Madam Pompfrey, Rebecca was take to the hospital wing where she could rest and get ready for the shock of her disappearance being revelled to her the next day.

Hey everyone, Hope you enjoyed the new chapter. I hope this may give you some answers to what has happened over the past few chapters and just so you know I'm not going to reveal a big secret until it has actually happened in the story as I can assure you exciting stuff is about to happen but hopefully life will go back to some normality for Rebecca for a while after all she's been through in her first year. For those of you who are wondering , the event of the philosopher's stone is still going to be taking place but I'm not sure if Rebecca will be involved in them or not. They will off course be mentioned at some point at the least so I'm not going away from the original story. Anyway more in the next chapter can't promise when that will be due to exams A-levels and just life in general but it will be out at some point I can assure you. But all in all Hope you enjoyed it
