Hi fellows! I'm here again, nice right?
Just a little info; the chapters will be a little darker and a tad bit shorter, and probablöy a little confusing at times, but stay put until the grand finale which is only a few chapters away, okay? And don't forget to tell me what you think! =)
44 December 26 1997
Jennie strolled along the street, shopping bags in hands and a thick winter coat wrapped around her. She'd finally found some gift for Sirius and Harry, all other gift where already bought and wrapped and hidden safely away in her drawer.
The wind blurred up; snow flew everywhere and she huffed annoyed and quickened her pace, eager to get home to Sirius for some alone quality time.
She lipped an ice puddle, cursed loudly and began scrambling to her feet, collecting her many bags.
"Do not move."
The voice was edgy and harsh, and something her in the head.
When the wind cleared up, nothing but a bunch of kicked out shopping bags showed that there had been a person on the street.

Sirius collected the bag with a stoic smile.
"It's alright Arthur, it'll be fine. Thank you."
He put the bags safely away in Jennie's drawer and grimaced.
The act of surprise had been his own idea; he figured that it would look better if Jennie arrived at the enemy's lair without no hint that she knew about an attack, should her mind be tested thoroughly. Still, it was hell. She had dropped her scarf, and he placed it on his pillow; it smelled like her.
Now, all they could do was wait, wait for Severus to drop a hint that all was going according to plan.

The girl was an annoying flaw; she did not seem to know anything of value, and her only ties to the magical world seemed to be Sirius Black, Voldemort snarled as she watched the images inside her mind; lovemaking, smiles and more love. It was repulsing.
But still, he had a nagging feeling that something was up, so he was not about to let her out of his sight or home.
"Sseveruss, you have done well. Dissposse of her in a ssmall room."
"Yes, My Lord. Anything else?"
"No, you may leave."
"Thank you My Lord."
He watched as his faithful servant led the dizzy woman away from the room.
"I think sshe may prove usseful, Nagini… if you may eat her."
His snake hissed as she curled over his shoulders.

The room was spartanic, with only a bed and a small bureau and a small adjourned bathroom.
"Stay here; only the Dark Lord or myself will be able to enter, you'll get food four times day."
Jennie grabbed the man's arm as he was about to leave.
"Severus… stay in the shadows."
He nodded briskly and left her.
"Ah…now what?!" she groaned out loud and slipped down on the bed, feeling abused from having the snake face in her kind. But, she congratulated herself, it had worked; he had passed her of as annoying and possibly good bait, just what they had been hoping for. Jennie, however, had a little plan of her own that only she herself knew about, and she planned to set it in motion when the snake face visited her. For now, she decided to sleep of the nausea.

Albus Dumbledore paced back and forth in his office. He had grown to care for and respect Jennie Andrews over the years – although the respect had been hard to admit – and now he was worried, for he had seen in her eyes that she had something up her sleeve and he suspected that no one but the blonde woman herself knew what it was. Which was, considering where she now was, not a good thing.
So, he paced some more and thought of many things- none if which where helpful – and felt actually useless, something he didnät like.
He decided to pay a visit to Grimmauld Place to see if someone knew something.

"Really? You think Jennie has a triumph card up her sleeve?"
Sirius blinked at Albus, sure that the man had finally gone 'round the bend.
"Yes. So, I ask you again Sirius, has she told you anything that she has not told others?"
"No… not in this matter. Look Albus, I really think you're sort of overreacting here; I know the plan is dangerous as hell, but Jennie will do just fine", he said and tried to convince himself as much as the older wizard.
"Very well, perhaps you're right."
After Albus had left, Sirius dragged a hand through his hair and sighed.
"I hope you know what you're doing over there darling", he muttered aloud and headed for the kitchen to talk to Remus and Severus about the rest of the plan.

The muggle was asleep. So much better. He swept across the small room, bent down over her and slipped a thread of magic inside her. She groaned and moved but did not wake up. He left her, grinning at his own smartness. It would be fun when she woke up. Very fun indeed. Soon, he would have everything he wanted.
