Jersey just got colder and
I'll have you know I'm scared to death
That everything that you had said to me was just
A lie until you left
Now I'm hoping just a little bit stronger
Hold me up just a little bit longer
I'll be fine, I swear
I'm just gone beyond repair

Chapter 12

As the figure moved closer to Annie, she saw it was an elegant, beautiful woman with soft blonde hair and blue eyes. Her face seemed to be blurred, as Annie could not really discern exactly what she looked like. The woman gave off a very warm air.

"Hello. Please call me A. I am the guide of fear, and how may I help you?" The woman said with a voice like air.

"How can you be a guide for fear? Shouldn't you be a guide for love or something?" Annie blurted. "Sorry." She blushed.

"It's alright," A said as she waved away Annie's apology. "And you are partially correct. I should be guide of love, but I am the guide of fear since love is ironically one of Albus Potter's many fears. I do have many forms, as Albus has many fears. But I think this form should suffice for now."

"What kind of fear would rape be?" Annie asked as she took a deep breath; she had to find out for Albus.

"I suppose we could dig around attack."

As Lily put up enchantments to keep away anybody who would intrude upon them; Nicholas quickly made his way over to the bed.

Cecilia Wood had several very bad burns all over her, and her frail body was engulfed by blankets. She had many bottles of potions which seemed to have been administered on her, neatly put in order on nearby tables. It was a pitiful sight, and brought Nicholas to tears.

"Cee, are you awake?" Nicholas whispered.

Cecilia's eyes fluttered open. "Nick. Nick is that really you. You came to see me." She rasped; her eyes alight with joy.

"What happened?" Nicholas asked looking very upset; Lily came over and put her arms around his shoulders.

"Is that your girlfriend?" Cecilia questioned in a soft voice noticing Lily.

"Yeah, she is."

"I'm Cee." She smiled.

"Lily."

Cecilia looked Nicholas in the eyes. "I'm going to die Nick."

"No, you're not. You're going to be fine." Nicholas soothed.

Cecilia was silent. "You have to go now. Mum, Dad, and the healers will be back soon." She said after a while.

"I love you. You're going to be okay, Cece."

"James and Al were in love with the same girl." Annie said blankly; her head spinning from watching the memory.

"At the time. Albus may not have necessarily been in love with her, but she was his girlfriend. When James felt an attraction towards her; Albus felt attacked. He didn't break up with her because of that, until James had graduated." 'A' explained.

"We need to narrow down our searches." Annie sighed growing exasperated. "We're not going to get anywhere by randomly checking memories. I'm also pretty sure my time's nearly up."

"May I suggest you narrow down your options, before you start looking again." 'A' smiled.

"Alright." Annie licked her lips and rubbed he hands together.

"Set the scene." 'A' ordered with a flourish of her hand.

"Okay," Annie closed her eyes. "I invited Al to play Gobstones with me and my friends late afternoon. I know he was in the library all the morning, because I was there too. We played for a good three to four hours, and then we all went down to dinner. I know he didn't eat much, because later on he went for a snack at the kitchens. I went with him, and on the way Sarah Hartman wanted to talk to him; I went to the kitchens by myself – Sarah Hartman," Annie gasped, sudden realization dawning upon her. "Nobody saw Al after he went to go 'talk' to her."

'A' nodded encouragingly.

"Albus and Sarah are friends. So if she did rape him, then he would've felt betrayed. We have to look in betrayal."

'A' held out her hand for Annie to grab. As soon as they came in contact Annie started to go up in wisps of smoke.

"What's happening to me?"

Louis Weasley was rather good at quidditch, though some would argue and say he was amazing; though that was hardly surprising considering who his family was. He figured he'd try out for the team next year once Albus graduated.

Speaking of Albus, he'd been rather strange as of lately. Louis would see him sneak out of the common room at strange hours of the night (Louis had insomnia, so that was probably why he noticed in the first place), spending nearly all hours of the day in the library, skipping meals, and not talking to any of his friends.

Louis saw the snitch flying near Hufflepuff's chaser Evangeline Connelly's foot. He sped towards her before the Hufflepuff seeker realized what he was doing. Evangeline dropped the quaffle and Jalen Jordan caught it. Louis snatched up the snitch before it got away.

As he flew down to the field, snitch in hand; Louis noticed the strangest thing: Josie Rosier and Sarah Hartman walking towards the castle side by side. He wasn't even aware the pair of them even knew of each other.

Teddy Lupin was slightly worried about Lily. Okay, slightly was a huge understatement. Teddy Lupin was extremely worried about Lily.

She'd rarely been to any of his classes, or as he'd found recently any of her classes in general. So when he hadn't seen her at the Gryffindor-Hufflepuff Quidditch match he'd gone to look for her.

He'd scoured the entire castle twice before he realized Lily was not in the castle.

"Looking for someone?" He heard someone say, as he headed back to the quidditch pitch fuming.

He turned around to see Rose leaning against the wall smirking.

Teddy raised an eyebrow.

"I happen to know exactly where she is."

Okay I'm seriously sorry for not updating. I have no excuse other then I had some serious writer's block. Then when I had an idea, I got seriously lazy; but I'm back now.

Love Naomi
