I do not in any way own that which is the wonderful world of Harry Potter or the world of Charmed. Those belong to J.K. Rowling and the WB. I am just having Fun with a place they created for us.

By the way I have a challenge for you at the bottom; see author note….

Now onto the chapter.

Chapter 9

Marker's

Dumbledore sat in his chair rubbing his temples staring down into what had to have been the fifth book; looking for some way to locate Harry.

He had tried; Tracing the Untraceable; I Vanished where did I Go; and Are You Lost.

It had been three weeks since Harry had gone missing and not even the best of trackers could find the boy. It was as if some sort of magic was even preventing him from getting a general location.

There was not much else he could do; for Albus Dumbledore was running out of options.

The aged professor was brought out of his thoughts by a knock on his door.

"Enter"

"Ah, Severus; how are you on this fine evening" Dumbledore said closing his book.

"I am well Headmaster; I do wish to get to my report for I do have work that needs to be done"

"Yes, of course; Lemon Drop" pulling his never-ending bowl of muggle sweets towards him.

"No, thank you" Severus replied

"The Dark Lord is still attempting to regain the strength he lost while fighting you at the Ministry."

"This I knew Severus; for I too am still recuperating" Dumbledore replied with a sigh

"I also passed along the information that our young Mister Potter is now missing, and needless to say I have bought us only a few more days before The Dark Lord grows tired and sends his own out after him"

"I told you that I did not want you to pass along that information until I said it was time to do so" The Headmaster said with a shine of anger present in his eyes.

"Actually Headmaster you said no such thing; you did say you would be putting charms on the owls as well as Fawks, but as I recall none of those seemed to work." Severus said pausing only a moment for a breath.

"Further more you really have no right to tell me what I can and can't tell the Dark Lord for I am the spy. I risk my life for you and Potter so that he may have a chance" the Potions master finished looking at the Headmaster before him.

"I'm sorry Severus, you are correct; I just don't know how else I am to find Harry. It has been three weeks and I have used everything I can think of, most of the order is still looking as best they can without alerting the Ministry to the boys disappearance" and once again Albus Dumbledore began to rub his temples for it helped him to relieve some of the stress he was under.

Severus Snape sat there thinking while watching the aged professor. He might be able to help but at the same time he did not want to call in this marker. For while the Snape Family had a great many markers they could call upon; there were some more precious to them then that of any other ordinary marker.

"Headmaster; I think I may have an idea or two" Severus stated

"Really" Albus replied

"Yes sir; I know of a few…favors I could call upon; but mind you it may turn up nothing"

"Any help you can give me my boy would be greatly appreciated" the old wizard said

And with a small nod the Potions Master stood and walked to the door. Grasping the handle he pulled it open; he started to make his way out of the Headmasters office when a voice called out to him.

"Might I ask what idea that it is you have Severus"

Turning back to face his once Transfiguration teacher he said

"I am really not at liberty to say sir"

Albus Dumbledore nodded and looked down to his candy dish and plucked another Lemon Drop from it and put it into his mouth, looked back up and said

"Just be careful Severus"

"Of course sir" and with that The Potions Master left the old wizard to his thoughts.

As he made his way down to his most favorite part of the school; he thought about what he was about to do. It was not that it was dangerous…well at least not part of it.

For one of the markers he was going to collect was one of which had made it clear that anytime Severus need something all he had to do was ask.

But as for the other one; well that one was going to require more of a…different approach.

When he got to his dungeon he made his way over to the fireplace said a quick "Incindio" and stepped in. He reached into his cloak pocket and pulled out what seemed to be a pouch of some kind. Reaching in he took out a gray powder and threw it to the floor of the fireplace and said

"Pa'klarừsh"

And the form of one Severus Snape was lost in a swirl of green and gray soot, speeding onwards to collect those markers which he thought would be able to help the growing dilemma that the Order of the Phoenix was facing.

The ongoing search for the boy-who-vanished.

Harry Potter.

Thank you so much and just in case your wondering how to say the word Snape said it is (PaKlaRooosh) the next chapter will be dedicated to the first four who can tell me what TV show it is from. sorry RoseMarieLynn you can't participate no offence meant.

A/N: Sorry it took so long, like I said I am my own beta and have been working non-stop. I do hope you like this chapter and the kind of cliffy. I have been wanting to write and get a chapter out for a time now but could not think of how to come about it. So I just did. Yes it is a bit forced but a chapter it now is.

Thank you to those who have been giving me such great reviews. I am now over 53 reviews. Yay!!! So please keep on Reading and Reviewing it does help out. And also Harry will be coming into one of his powers very soon (like next chapter or two) and while it is a good one I would still like for some more ideas form you all.
