Chapter 27

Audrey woke up with a start, she had that dream again same one she had had on the night of the third task. Audrey felt dreadful as she woke up her night clothes drenched in her sweat, she panted like she had been running. She pushed her head on the head rest of the bed, she knew she wasn't going to be going back to bed, she was afraid that if she slept she'd dream again and if she dreamt again, she'd have the nightmare of Cedric being killed, this was like a repeat telecast of some show that wouldn't stop playing even if she didn't want to watch it, it was a terrible horror fiasco and every time she closed her eyes she saw Cedric's cold dead ones, it was a horrible feeling.

Audrey put on a black night robe that covered her grey tank top and blue boxer shorts; she pocketed her wand since these were dangerous times. It was not that Audrey didn't trust anyone here but she couldn't be more careful. She slowly made her way to the kitchen, no one was awake after all it was three in the morning but she thought she had heard a sound from the kitchens so her journey to the library was cut short as she opened the door of the kitchens. She noticed a tiny dwarf like figure muttering under his breath as it moved around the room cleaning the chair with a dirty pillow case, which Audrey knew must belong to him.

"Hello!" she said softly as the elf jumped startled at the polite gesture, he turned mumbling.

"Filthy half blood is talking to me," he sneered, Audrey realised it was a house elf, she brushed his comment away.

"I'm Audrey," she said smiling at the elf as it moved away from her.

"Filthy half blood is talking to Krecher!—what would Krecher's mistress say!" sneered Krecher as Audrey realised he had just mentioned that his name was Krecher—odd, she thought most house elves were named Missy or something like that.

"I haven't seen you before," said Audrey trying to converse with the old elf who looked at her with his wrinkled eyes.

"Krecher lives to serve the noble house of Black! Why are you being so nice to me half blood?" sneered Krecher as he pocketed the dirty cloth, Audrey didn't have an answer for that.

"Umm—should I be any different?" she asked Krecher as he widened his eyes.

"You are not from his land?" he asked accusingly.

"Well—I am from France," said Audrey she didn't know what the elf was implying.

"The country in the east?" Krecher asked again as Audrey smiled at him and nodded.

"My master had said—" began Krecher but shut up and with a pop he disappeared in front of Audrey's eyes. She looked at the spot he had been standing in. Apparation had gone to her nerves, she couldn't do it and everyone who did it seemed to be rubbing it in her face, it was annoying.

"Odd thing," she muttered to herself as she sat down on of the chairs and sighed, as she tried to close her eyes, they were heavy with sleep as she told herself.

"A little nap won't hurt,"

"No, you'll start dreaming again"

"But I am tired,"

"They are scary"

"I need to slee—"

With that Audrey's body responded to her request as she closed her eyes and fell asleep on the chair with her head nestled on her folded arms on the dinner table her wand resting in her hand tightly around the expertly carved handle.

Severus had finally gotten to floo back to Grimmauld place, he had to report to both his masters and one of them had severely punished him for his tardiness, Voldemort's mood swings were growing like a teenagers, why wouldn't they, he did have the blood of two of the most magical teenagers within him. Severus flooed into the kitchen at around five in the morning, it was useless trying to sleep now since the duels were supposed to start after breakfast which was a few hours away. He dusted the ashes of his robes as he stepped out of the fireplace. He noticed Audrey sleeping at the table her hair all over her face as her lips were slightly parted, she was fast asleep, he could tell by her breathing which was slow and in rhythm.

"Adams!" he ordered nudging her slightly as he tried to wake her, what was she doing sleeping in the kitchen?

"Adams!" he called again a bit sterner she didn't move but grumbled something

"Cedric!" she groaned softly

Severus froze, she was dreaming of the Diggory boy's death.

"Don't kill Cedric!" she moaned again, Severus looked at her and cleared the hair off her face slowly so that she wouldn't wake, it was a rather hot August night and he saw that the hair on her sweaty face was wet. He did not know why but this girl got this out of him, he cared for her deeply but did not understand why, she was the daughter of a rivals sister as he was told, she was nothing to him, then why was he bubbling with emotions that he had never experienced before, why was he so crazily on to being in Lupin's line, why did he want to be her father?

"No!" she cried softly as she stirred a little and then thrashed around on her hands becoming stable again.

"Adams!" he said lightly shoving her with his hand that rest on her soft black locks. He saw her open her eyes but in a flash of a second her wand was at his throat as he was taken aback by the reaction. She was panting like she had been running out of somewhere, her eyes screamed in fright.

"It's okay," he said in a deep and low voice, he had to calm her down let her know she was awake, she only stared at him frightened by the thought that she had her wand at his throat, her hand started to shake.

"It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you," he said softly, placing his own hand on hers and softly tugging it away.

"Put your wand away," he said softly but his voice was still demanding in some way as he noticed her breathing becoming stable as she was more and more aware of her surroundings, she looked away and placed her wand on the table as her hands went into her hair.

"Get yourself in bed," he ordered as he tried his best to hide his concerns.

"I'm sorry," she said softly her voice was heavy with emotion, he could tell she was about to cry, if she did he wouldn't really know what to do. Someone made their way down the steps as Severus saw Rachel push him aside and engulf the girl into her arms, Audrey buried her head into space between the woman's breasts and let her tears fall freely as her eyes were closed and she sobbed.

"Go," ordered Rachel looking harshly at him as she said soothing gibberish into the girl's ear smoothing her hands through the girl's hair and back. Severus did not move, he felt stuck on the spot as Audrey's sobs grew violent by the minute that was when he realised that she hadn't let herself go like that since the night at the graveyard, he felt sorry for her, his insides begged him to say something but he was incapable to produce the words, he was nothing to them, just a stupid Hogwarts professor, what right did he have to console the girl. None, he had none. He made his way out of their as quick as his feet took him away, he wondered if the girl had ever had a breakdown like that before. He sat down on the couch in the leaving room tool of his robes and unbuttoned half of his shirt which he untucked from his pants; he took of his shoes and lay there wondering about the two occupants of the kitchen.

"Bloody Malfoy," cursed Severus as he tried to close his eyes and think of something else, but he couldn't, the girl's sobs still rang in his ears as his heart begged him to go back down. But he was not going to listen he had stopped listening to the quite musing of his heart a very long time ago, when he had lost his fiancée the woman who sat in the kitchen who wouldn't even look at his face anymore as he craved to hold just once more. Severus sniffed and gulped, was he crying? He hadn't released when his heart had wrenched his emotions and come out so openly. It was not like Severus to cry in a place he knew was not private enough, but what was he supposed to do, he had never felt this alone in his life.

"Get a grip!" his mind taunted him, he cleared his eyes and turned to sleep on his back, tomorrow would be a new day, tomorrow would be a stronger mask on his feelings.

Audrey woke up in her bed as the curtains around it were drawn; she rubbed her eyes and pushed herself into the bathroom as she checked the time. It was twelve in the afternoon; she had slept through breakfast and was almost going to miss lunch. She hurried through leaving her morning tardiness behind and pushing herself through to the kitchens. What had been a good birthday turned out to be the pathetic start of a new year for her.

She entered the kitchen as a few worried glances went her way, even she knew she had lost a lot of weight through the summer but she looked most dreadful today, she looked at Harry, he seemed to be rather dazed.

She placed a few hash browns into her plate along with the pork chops, maybe if she ate she'd feel better, but she knew it wasn't going to work, it never did after all she had always been a fussy eater.

Suddenly Patricia entered the kitchens, she seemed to be in tears as she approached Jean and threw herself into the man's embrace, Audrey thought she was pathetic to show her emotions that way. Audrey looked back at her lunch as her mood turned her away from the uneaten contents, she noticed Patricia looking at her accusingly.

"What did you do to it?" she snarled accusingly as people turned from their quite lunch to her Audrey did not look up.

"Adams, answer her!" demanded Jean blankly as Audrey looked up at them, she had no idea what they were talking about.

"To what?" she asked softly, she could tell she was feeling rather dreadful and should have just slept a bit more.

"To my wand you bit**!" snarled Patricia taking large steps towards Audrey as Audrey looked at her dumbfound.

"It refuses to work after you touched it with you scum blooded hands!" she snarled, Audrey looked away, she did not know what was happening but she had been insulted in front of a table full of people, she did not know what to say.

"You're worse than a mudblood! Even they can't do thing like that—filthy blood!" snarled Patricia. Remus stood from his seat but Tonks tugged at his shirt, he frowned at her as he noticed Harry speak.

"Shut up!" snarled Harry pushing his chair back in resentment as no one uttered a word, Jean looked at him angrily while Patricia couldn't really say anything.

"Don't ever use that word against my friends!" he snarled pointing his wand at Patricia as he pulled Audrey's hand into his and tugged her up.

"Come on, we're going to get some air," he ordered looking into Audrey's eyes as he pulled her out of the main door. No one said anything, they just got back to their lunch as Remus looked at Sirius who nodded and turned into his animagus form and left the house behind them.

Harry pulled Audrey through the street and into the muggle park opposite the house, there were children playing and laughing as he sat her down in one of the empty swings which were deserted at the moment, he sat down on one next to her, she still didn't look at him.

"What's wrong?" he asked almost silently as she shook her head.

"That girl is a nuisance—I am so telling everyone to stop giving her attention—although I don't think that will be necessary," he mouthed angrily.

"Thanks—for—sticking—up-," she said as she couldn't go on tears left her eyes as she turned away sobbing, Harry looked at her oddly he had never in his dreams imagined Audrey go weak and cry. He got out of his swing and knelt down next to Audrey as he rested his hand in lap.

"Audrey—you have got to tell me what's bothering you," he said as she stopped crying.

"Every time—" she began as she closed her eyes and opened them to look start into the bright green ones that held her reflection.

"Every time—I close my eyes I see him Harry—I see Cedric—dead in front of my face and I can't do anything about it—and then there is Voldemort who refuses to let me sleep—I curse every day I was born!" she spat as a few more tears fell down.

"I suppose you're not alone on this one then—Audrey I think we need to stick together on this one—we're going through the same phase," said Harry wisely, she looked at him and gave him a weary smile.

"I care about you Adams," he said smiling at her as she wiped her tears and chuckled.

"I need someone like that," she muttered as she moved slightly making enough place for him to sit uncomfortably, but sitting beside him made her feel calmer, she rested her head on his shoulder.

"You're going to be fine—I promise," he said taking one of her hands into his as he rest his head on hers and waited as she replied with a snort but did not move her head away, he too felt so much better.

"Beside you are not alone in this one Audrey—I used to think that way—and look now—I have your company along with Ron and Hermione who are quite persistent on accompanying me on everything, I swear sometimes I think I might just be the death of them," he said as he pushed the swing back and forth with his legs as hers moved in a similar way but there was no effort.

"You mustn't say things like that—they're your best friends—I mean Leon and Gabs never let me be either you know," she said and then shut up, she had been missing them intensely as well.

"Do you think you need Fred and George's help in making Patricia's summer a hell?" he asked a gleam in his eyes as she laughed her tears and fears forgotten.

"Maybe," she replied as they made their way back to Grimmauld place, he still had her hand in his as Sirius followed them as sneakily as he could manage but Audrey turned behind as she let go of Harry's hand.

"We know you're following us Sirius," she said as the black dog looked at her and cocked his head, she smiled as he turned into a man again.

"You shouldn't have just pulled your fancy arses out like that," he scolded them as they looked sheepishly at him but he smiled and put his arm across their shoulders and walked them home telling them a story of the marauders.

Rachel had had the effect of Patricia's harsh words for her daughter; she could feel the blood rising in her veins when that wretched girl said those things to Audrey. She was pleased Jean was telling her off for the use of such language but when she thought about it clearly she wondered if Jean was no different.

Rachel sat in her room on the bed as she thought about this, did Jean think her daughter was scum too? Did he think she was not good enough? After all he did not really like her? Was this the source of his hatred for her? Blood status.

Rachel sat in her room pondering when Jean walked in and shut the door; he sat down besides her on the bed and rested his head on her folded knees.

"What are you thinking babe?" he asked lovingly as she looked into his blue green eyes.

"Nothing, I was just—thinking of nothing," she commented dryly as he did not push instead he sat down beside her and took her in his arms, she tried to wriggle free but a small kiss on her shoulder and she stopped moving.

"Do you want to know what I was thinking?" he asked her softly as she refused to meet his eyes.

"I was thinking about our marriage," he said pushing a strand of her hair behind her ear, now he had all her attention. Marriage, they had agreed last year that they'd decide the date for next year, but they hadn't as of yet.

"I was thinking next week, we could have a small ceremony right here," he said kissing her near her ear.

"Next week! Jean that's crazy," she replied as he looked a bit disheartened.

"Do you not want to marry me Rach?" he asked as she had already slipped away from him.

"That's stupid Jean of course I do—but next week—is just so sudden—I mean I haven't even met your family—nothing!" she said thinking of all the possible excuses, a marriage now was a ridiculous thought.

"You could meet them during the rehearsal dinner! Come on Ray say yes!" he said pulling her hand into his as he looked at her lovingly, she hated it when he called her Ray, it brought back to many memories.

"I—," she began but words failed her, why in the world should she refuse this wonderful man in front of her, he was smart, rich, handsome, everything she needed.

"Ok," she said meekly as he pulled her into his lap and kissed her lips fondly. All Rachel could think now was,

"Audrey's going to kill me!"

"You what!" snarled her daughter as she revealed the news to her and Remus first.

"Well it seems perfect!" she said as Remus sighed and cracked his neck last week's full moon had taken its toll on him.

"Well—if it is so bloody perfect what do you want me to say?" snarled Audrey as the kitchen had started to fill with people.

"I want you to say yes," said Rachel as she pleaded with her daughter, she did not know why but her approval was important.

"No," said Audrey stubbornly as she scowled angrily.

"Please Audrey! Please! Just the rehearsal dinner—that's all I am asking—they want to meet my family—I owe them that—and his whole family will be there—it will be so odd if you won't be present!" said Rachel pleading as she knelt to her daughters level who was sitting on a chair.

"No! I will not—you can very well make an excuse!" she said angrily as Remus sighed.

"What excuse can she possibly make Drey?" he asked sternly as the girl refused to budge.

"You can tell them I'm dead—I am as good as to you anyways!" she snarled at her mother as Rachel slumped and closed her eyes, she did not know what to do.

"What will it take for you to come?" Rachel asked succumbing to bribery as Audrey looked at her harshly.

"All I ask is that you leave me alone!" she snarled and then stormed out of the kitchen.

"It's not going to work, I suppose," said Remus as he looked at Rachel rubbed her head with her hand.

Someone was clanking a glass for attention as Rachel turned to see Jean beaming at a table now full of people who looked like they were going to be very pissed with him.

"I have good news everybody—," he said smiling like a hyena as Rachel closed her eyes and hoped he wasn't going to announce it like this.

"Rachel and I have decided to get married next week!" he smiled as Rachel slumped as she sat down next to Remus. She noticed Remus wasn't looking at Jean at all, instead he was looking at Severus, who seemed to be looking at his food with intense hatred his fork was plunged into the heart of the meat as he got up darkly and excused himself from the room as quietly as he could, Tonks who was sitting next to him smiled at him and nodded as she then continued to shake Jean's hand, Rachel's eyes followed Severus out of the room, his shoulders were slumped, Severus Snape was a defeated man.

A rather loud crash was heard coming through the potions lab but no one in the kitchen heard it, Severus couldn't help his anger, he displaced it on the only things in his reach, most of the thin glass vials and test tubes lay cracked and broken on the floor. He had a glass of neat fire whiskey placed on his workstation as he gulped it down in a single sip and slammed it on the workstation filling the glass again and two more shots of fire whiskey down and Severus sat on the stool behind the workstation and stared at the blank wall as the flavour of the hard alcohol still lingered in his mouth, he greedily poured himself another glass and gulped it down, he then continued to look at the blank wall as he closed his eyes and checked the time. Almost midnight and Severus stumbled out of the lab drunk as he almost tumbled down the stairs but somehow made his way to the backyard.

Severus realised he wasn't the only one awake, he made his way to the small figure with its feet in the pool and then sat down besides it and pushed his feet into the cold water, he noticed Audrey looking at the stars as she turned her attention to him, her nose pulled in his whiff, she realised instantly he was drunk.

"What!" he slurred she smiled at him and shrugged.

"Yes! Bloody Snape is drunk! Snape is piss drunk! Hahaha! Laugh at Snivellus he's fuc— drunk!" he snarled and then turned to his legs and splashed water. She laughed, it was funny—she was laughing—she was laughing with him—no one had done that before—who was she.

"Who are you love?" he slurred as he lay down in the grass his feet still in the pool.

"You've had a bit too much professor—maybe you should get some sleep," said Audrey softly as she lay down next to him.

"Rachel is getting married!—to that ***—!" he said and sniffed.

"Yes, he's a ***—," she repeated as he turned his head to look at her.

"Who are you?" he asked again squinting his eyes.

"I'm Audrey—Audrey Adams," she said shrugging as he chuckled.

"Audrey Adams! you're Rachel's niece—how is Rachel?" he asked her, she thought he was hilarious when he was drunk.

"She's brilliant, I suppose," she replied as his face fell.

"She was always brilliant—brilliant!" he said softly and chuckled.

"Did you love her?" Audrey asked him slowly as he laughed loudly.

"Did! I don't did stupid girl! I still do—how can I stop loving Rachel Adams—she is everything to me," he slurred as a few tears slipped his eyes with a subtle sob.

Audrey felt terrible; she was sitting there with her father who had no idea who she was and sobbing about her mother to her. She felt so depressed that she wanted to cry out with him possibly share his misery after all she was miserable by the same fact.

She could hear the soft crunching of the grass coming towards them, she lifted her body from besides him and looked at the three figures in front of her, her eyes widened as someone pushed their wand into her throat and the same was done to Snape, Audrey fell unconsciously on the ground along with Snape who lay there besides her like before.

"Obliviate!" said Rachel pointing her wand to each of the unconscious persons and then nodding at Sirius and Remus.

Remus picked up his god daughter in his arms and carried her towards the kitchen as Sirius grunted and dragged Snape's limp body in the same direction, Rachel helped him.

"You—think—this is a bit too much now Rach?" Sirius grunted as Rachel looked at him as she pulled Snape and thrust one of his hands over her shoulder while Sirius did the same.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"I mean—well isn't it enough now—even Snivellus deserves a chance to—well—set things right," said Sirius as walked into the kitchen.

"No," she said simply as Sirius sighed. He noticed Remus had stopped and placed Audrey down he was reasoning with someone as Sirius got a glimpse of a black messy head.

"Why is Sirius carrying Snape?" asked Harry suspiciously as Remus tried to reason with him.

"Move," snarled Rachel dumping Snape on Sirius, it looked like they hugging each other.

Rachel caught hold of Harry's scuff and pulled him to her wand tip as she muttered a spell.

"Sorry Potter—nothing personal," she said as Harry was now unconscious as she placed him on a seat and ripped him off that memory.

"You think what we're doing is right?" Remus asked angrily as Rachel turned to him.

"Yes, it feels right," said Rachel, they had no idea how guilty she was actually feeling.

Minerva made her way into the headquarters with a wet umbrella as she closed it and placed it into the troll leg umbrella stand and muttered under her breadth about how ridiculous the London climate had become.

She made her way to the kitchen where she found Sirius and Remus talking to each other in hushed voices as Rachel entered the kitchen behind her.

"Well boys I see you're up to no good," she smiled, remembering their marauder days.

"Not really professor—I mean Minerva," said Sirius correcting himself, he held the greatest respect for his head of house and he still did, the only part was, she still scared him a little sometimes.

"—we're just discussing about last night," added Sirius as Remus kicked him from below the table, now Minerva was very curious.

"What happened last night?" she asked sitting down next to them as Rachel stiffened and looked angrily at Sirius.

"Nothing Minerva," said Remus casually brushing her away trying to change the topic.

"Not you Mr. Lupin, I was asking Black—come on Sirius what happened last night," asked Minerva giving him the sternest of glares.

"Nothing that concerns you," sneered Rachel in the background as Minerva ignored her and looked Sirius down, she had been teaching since the past 38 years and she was very good at breaking.

"I—I—" started Sirius as both Remus and Rachel shook their heads.

"I—Audrey found out about Snape! But Rachel obliviated her so she wouldn't know— And then we obliviated Snape so he wouldn't remember either" finished Sirius as he covered his mouth, Minerva spun around in madness as her daughter looked at her feet sheepishly.

"You did what!" she snarled angrily at her daughter as she slumped in behind Remus's chair.

"You heard him clearly. Didn't you?" said Rachel indignantly as she tried to push aside the matter.

"The severity of this situation is disgraceful Rachel! How could you! How dare you!" said Minerva her nostrils flaring.

"You don't boss over me anymore mu—I can do what I please—she's my daughter and if I want her to stay away from him, she will stay away from him!" snarled Rachel in retaliation.

"I don't believe you'd go so low—this is not how I raised you," said Minerva softly as Rachel did not have a reply to that—this was not how she was raised, it was true.

"Why are you being so selfish?" asked Minerva calmly but her anger was still evident on her Scottish face, but her daughter was no less, after all being Minerva McGonagall's daughter was no laughing matter and seeing that Rachel had inherited her sweet tooth from her father there had to be something that she'd inherit from her lovely mother.

"Selfish! I am being Selfish! Don't even dare point that finger at me!" snarled Rachel.

"Who was it that had to move to another country—who was it that had to give up her surname?" snarled Rachel.

"You have no right! No bloody right!" snarled Rachel as tears glistened in her eyes, Minerva sighed, how was she supposed to console her daughter she had just disappointed. Sirius and Remus looked on uncomfortably as someone stumbled into the kitchen. All their attention was now diverted from Rachel and Minerva to the man pouring tea into his black mug and dropping three drops of grey blue liquid into it.

Severus looked at the quite room as they started at him awkwardly; he drank the liquid that warmed him inside. He had woken up feeling odd and distracted and realised he had a bad hangover but he did not even remember drinking. He shook his head distractedly as he tried to make sense of his surroundings as he scowled at Minerva, what was she doing here? But he did not have enough time to ponder further as his left lower arm burnt sharply; it was so sudden that he almost dropped his mug of boiling tea all over his shirt.

"Bugger!" he muttered as he placed the mug on the counter and then walked to the front door pulled out his travelling cloak and exited, but his eyes darted to the two occupants on the top of the stairs, seemed like Potter and Adams had woken up. He noticed Potter miss a step as Adams held him up and helped him straighten up, Severus made his way out.

Audrey and Harry made their way to the kitchens and sat down looking rather dazed as they did, Harry's mouth was hang open a little while Audrey sat their staring at the wall in front of her. Remus and Sirius looked and each other and their respective god children as they chorused together.

"You two feeling alright?"

"Well we woke up—" began Audrey.

"Feeling rather—" continued Harry looking at the spot Audrey was staring at.

"Disoriented," completed Audrey turning her eyes to look at Remus's brown ones, she cocked her head as her lips parted.

"Disoriented?" asked Minerva sitting down next to her grand-daughter.

"Yes—disoriented," chuckled Audrey blinking several times before getting up.

"I think—I want to eat something," said Harry oddly looking at Sirius, who found his behaviour rather odd. Fred and George entered the kitchens looking fresh followed by Hermione and Ginny who were smiling with Mrs. Weasley on their tail. Hermione sat down next to Harry as Ginny sat opposite them and looked at Harry and Audrey oddly, they seemed to be spaced out.

"You look doped—like your high on grater root—are you?" commented Ginny as Mrs. Weasley disapproved her daughter's choice of words.

"Ginny!"

"What? look at them!" said Ginny crossing her hands over her chest and pouted.

"What happened to you?" asked Fred and George as they noticed the kitchens were full.

"We woke up!" said Harry laughing as he laughed and his head rolled over and fell on Audrey's shoulder, she laughed loudly with him as Fred and George looked at them oddly.

"We was feeling Disoriented!" giggled Audrey as she laughed she was trying to mimic a house elf a rather bad impersonation, Harry was almost in tears as he laughed like a mad man.

"—you sound like Dobby—Hermione she sounds like Dobby!" laughed Harry.

"Who's Dobby?" asked Audrey as she looked at Harry and then he looked back at her oddly and started laughing.

"Disoriented?" Hermione muttered under her breadth as she frowned like she was calculating something in her head.

"Odd! Reminds me of Lockhart after we hit him with that spell," said Ron shrugging at Ginny who frowned.

"That's it!" said Hermione but then she shook her head.

"What?" asked Fred and George.

"The memory charm or better known as the Obliviate jinx has side effects on victims who have been made to sit through it for the first time—research says that several victims have reported to feel rather, like they said—disoriented!" completed Hermione as she frowned.

"Agreed, but who'd obliviate the two of them and why?" asked Fred suspiciously as George nodded vigorously.

"Alright that will be enough! I think a good breakfast will solve this—" said Mrs. Weasley placing a large plate of toast in front of everyone.

Audrey's face grew pale as she jumped from her seat as Harry's smile fell.

"I think I'm going to be sick," she announced and then stumbled up to the sink.

"Me too," replied Harry and joined her, as they took out the contents of last night's supper.

"Oh dear! I wonder what's gotten into them?" wonder Molly aloud as Ginny muttered.

"It has to be the Grater root," she muttered and then put a large piece of toast into her mouth as Mrs. Weasley threw her a disapproving glance.

Rachel closed her eyes as she could see Minerva glaring at her from the corner as Sirius walked up to the sink and waved his wand so the contents were gone as he rubbed their backs soothingly.

"Maybe you should get to bed," said Sirius as the two nodded and made their way up to bed.

"I hope you're happy," hissed Minerva to her daughter who looked at her with the same intense glare, they both turned away from each other looking extremely angry.

AN/- please don't kill me! but that had to happen-I mean that is Rachel for you after all she's pretty possessive about her daughter but she doesn't realize the gravity of the situation and too many years off anguish has made her mind stop listening to her mother-she doesn't realize just how much she and her own daughter are alike. But dont worry-i'll give you guys some treats once I get back from this hell hole called exams-I dotn like the fact that i have to write pages for answers-i mean what happened to simple MCQs?huh-bloody *** i hate the system here-they suck so bad!
