Dumbledore's always such an enigma; even when you have complete trust in the man you still wonder sometimes if he's barking mad.


Glad to see a new post! Take your time if your life is crazy right now, but just know your readers will be here when you post again.

So many questions..... can't wait to see how you answer them.

PAMS! Well, whenever you have time, of course.

Next post!... sorry this one doesn't answer many questions... but there is a development
I know it's short but that's all I can manage at the moment. Enjoy!


After a thorough explanation of Karkaroff’s background Ellouise was able to discern the following facts. Firstly, he could not be trusted, secondly he was a coward and had his hands in both baskets, and thirdly he was a key. He was what she needed, nay who she needed in order to successfully retrieve her parents. Now it was simply a matter of connecting the dots without ruffling anybodies feathers. The fact that he had only stepped forward in the last year was a testament to his loyalties, but Ellouise was sure she could use this to her advantage, if only she could meet with him. Xavier hadn’t been too impressed with Dumbledore’s explanation or reasoning for Karkaroff’s involvement.
“Crack-pot”, he said after Dumbledore had left the room. Ellouise had nudged him in the ribs with her elbow, it wasn’t a very nice thing to say... out loud. Though admittedly she was thinking the same thing.

After a brief cuddle Xavier took Elle’s hand and dragged her out of the library back towards the drawing room. Deep hearty laughter could be heard all through the house. What in the name of Merlin’s underpants was going on? As they rounded the corner to the drawing room Xavier let go of Ellouise’s hand and thrust his arms up in the air.
“Reg!” he exclaimed as he approached the dishevelled looking man sitting with Sirius and James.
Standing up gingerly, Regulus embraced Xavier in an awkward, and intensely manly one armed hug. Ellouise hung back in the doorway observing the scene. Xavier motioned for her to step forward and join them, pulling her in close to his side as she approached.
“Ellie, this is my Uncle Regulus, Reg this is my Ellie”, he said affectionately, showing her off a bit.
Ellouise smiled politely, “Nice to finally meet you”, she said taking in the grizzly appearance of the man. Ellouise was reminded of the letter Xavier had received from this man, it had had a resounding finality to it, as if it was one of those last goodbyes. But he was here now, so that had to count for something.
“Likewise my Ellie”, he joked. Sirius and James laughed heartily, Xavier’s lip curled up in amusement. Turning to Xavier, Regulus lowered his voice to a barely audible whisper, “How’d you land a bird like that?!” Xavier responded with a light chuckle, “Black charm”, he whispered back. Ellouise pulled away from Xavier’s side and took a seat on the couch, perching her feet on the edge of the coffee table. She was itching to know what he had been up to that was so dangerous, and she was particularly curious to know how Dumbledore was involved- he hadn’t mentioned it at all to them so whatever it was, it was top secret.

Nice post- definitely still advances the plot.

Ooooh Ellie, be careful with Karkaroff- you're playing with fire, girl!

Nice to see Regulus show up!

"What in the name of Merlin's underpants..." makes me laugh!!

PAMS girl, whenever you have the chance. No pressure!

So its been a while since I posted....
But here's a little snippet of the next chapter... I was planning on posting more but I'm sleepy so this'll have to do.

Enjoy!


“So... are you back for good then?” asked Xavier as he took a seat beside Ellouise, dropping his arm around her shoulder.
“Nope”, was Regulus’s response. He considered his friends and family for a moment before continuing. “There’s lots to be done, you can’t even begin to imagine. I’m heading back out the day after tomorrow.”
Ellouise could feel Xavier slump lower in his seat, this news clearly was not what he had expected. But the news wasn’t very definitive, it had no real substance. What was all this about?
“Forgive me... but what is it you’re doing exactly?” There, she had said it. Asked the crucial question. Everyone had been thinking it, there wasn’t a sound in the room now. Everyone’s eyes were plastered on Regulus, curious, waiting for his answer.
“Uh... well, I’m... uh, doing some investigating and sorts,” replied Regulus, his voice faltering slightly as his brain worked to create some story.
“Investigating what exactly?” she continued, pressing for more answers. Regulus was ready this time.
“Keeping an eye on the death eaters, tracking their movements... at least that’s what we’re trying to do. My job is to find a way to infiltrate the Dark Lords ranks, even deeper than Snape has. In the end, it should just be a matter of divide and conquer.”
Ellouise exchanged a glance with Xavier, he seemed satisfied with the response, but Ellouise wasn’t. Something didn’t quite add up.

Within a matter of minutes the mood had returned to one of a party, fire whiskey was being passed around once more, and Kreacher prepared a small feast to mark the occasion. He seemed quite fond of Regulus, his usual sulky, moping, vile mood was replaced with one of cheer and amusement, even love. Having had enough of festivities and certainly having had enough of fire whiskey, Ellouise returned to her room. There was something she needed to do, something that had been put off for long enough. She needed answers, she needed clues... she needed hope.

Closing the door behind her she made sure it was locked and secured. Taking her wand she cast Muffliato at the door, she wasn’t sure what to expect, but she needed the privacy and leaving the House wasn’t an option. Rushing around the room she searched for the item... the thing... the bearer of hope, or disappointment- she wasn’t sure yet. But something was drawing her to it. She found it, deep in the pocket of her coat, where she had left it, along with a bunch of photographs. She tossed them aside, focused intently on the box and its mysterious contents she settled herself on top of her covers. Smoothing out some of the creases instinctively. How was she going to get in? The swirly black pattern engraved on the reddish-brown wood of the box intrigued her, it didn’t look as if it was merely for decorative purposes. Was it a message? Was there some sort of significance to it? Ellouise wasn’t sure.

She ran her fingers over the grooves, exploring the engravings, the swirls, the crest, her family name, the double headed eagle with its wings poised for flight. Why was her family coat of arms on the box? Did it have something to do with what was inside?
Ellouise released a sigh, she didn’t even know if there was anything inside, but she had to find out.

I hope Elle's curiosity doesn't get her in big trouble...

Looking forward (as always) to your next post!

Great job again, sweetie! PAMS!!!!!!

Thanks Stef!!!

Next post!


Aside from the small key hole on the front of the box, there was nothing to suggest that it could be opened, nor that there was something inside. Growing frustrated after minutes of struggling with the object Ellouise dumped it on her covers and lay her head back on her pillow.
“I... need to get in”, she murmured to herself as she attempted to pry the box open with her fingers yet again. She directed a glare at the box, the light emphasising its grooves and patterns.
“You’re enchanted”, mused Ellouise, talking to the inanimate object as if she was grooming a potential suspect for an interrogation. The box didn’t reply.
Whipping out her wand once more Ellouise tried every spell and hex and curse she could think of the open the sealed box, she all but blew it up- that would get her nowhere. She was beginning to get the impression that there was more to the box than she had first thought. Whatever it was, it was sophisticated. Resigning from the task temporarily Ellouise approached her dressing table, pulling the draws out as far as they could go. She didn’t have many belongings, after being on the run for so many years she had learned to live without personal artefacts, toys and jewellery... none of that mattered when your life was on the line. Still, she hoped she could find what she was looking for.
Rummaging through the contents of the draws Ellouise flipped through photographs and old letters, sifted through notebooks, diaries and shabby deck of tarot cards. At last, after putting aside an old broken pocket watch, Ellouise found it. The one thing that gave her hope. Clutching the small ring holding a modest collection of what appeared to be at least thirty keys, Ellouise returned to her bed, where she examined the key hole, hoping that one of those keys would be a match.

Hands shaking with anticipation Ellouise tried key after key, desperately cramming each one into the small slot in the side of the decorated box, but to no avail. It was a lost cause, not even a single one came close enough to revealing the contents, the secrets of the Browne Family box.
“Merlin!” yelled Ellouise throwing down the keys in a huff of fury. In her haste she dropped the box as well, her fingertip catching on the sleek, sharp edge of the engraving on the box’s surface before it clattered loudly to the floor. Ellouise winced as the pain cut through her, the blood dripped from her finger, splattering on her sheets. Reaching down the side of the bed Ellouise pulled the box back up beside her before sucking the blood from the tip of her finger in an effort to stem the flow. It wasn’t too bad, just a minor cut, nothing she couldn’t handle. But it was just like her, to be careless, to be clumsy. Directing her gaze back to the Browne Family box Ellouise went to examine the damage she had done- if there had been any damage at all. What she found, was that the small curious box had... opened.

Bahaha oh your a smart cookie! Prepare to be.... amazed? lol

NEXT POST!
Enjoy everyone.


After sitting, stunned for a few minutes, Ellouise glanced at the cut on her finger. The folds of skin parted, leaving a gapping slit. The cool air stung, she would deal with it later... right now she had more interesting things to consider. Mustering up all the courage she had, she turned her gaze to the contents of the box, the mysterious Browne Family box. Her heart sank as she saw the two items sitting in the bottom of the box. There was an old fashioned, ornate silver key with similar engraving as the box itself, and a necklace. Picking up the necklace Ellouise held it up to the light, examining it in great detail. The short silver chain was fine and delicate, but strong... she pulled on it gently, testing its strength. No doubt it was made of goblin silver. It was still shiny and clean, as if it were brand new. The large deep blue sapphire hung like a teardrop from the silver chain. “SpeRevelio,” cited Ellouise as she flicked her wand over the two objects. Why they would be cursed she had no idea, but if she had learnt anything in the last seven years under her parents care... it was trust nothing and trust no one, within reason of course. They were safe.

Unfastening the necklace, Ellouise rose from the bed and seated herself in front of her dressing table mirror instead. Was it a family heirloom? Had it belonged to her mother? Her grandmother? A great-great grandmother?
After fasting the clip around her neck Ellouise let her hair flow over her shoulders, brushing them back gently so that she could see the necklace properly. It looked good on her. Something about it completed her. She felt whole, as if a part of her had been missing and was now returned. Snapping back to reality Ellouise checked her alarm clock. There was still time to do something productive, even if the box hadn’t provided her with anything particularly useful.

“At least I know your dirty little secret,” she murmured to it as she placed the key back in the bottom of the box and adding some other personal items including the photographs she had salvaged from Godrics Hollow. It was the Browne Family Box for a reason, because only Browne blood could open it. Old magic, why hadn’t she thought of it sooner?
Setting the box down on her dressing table and collecting one of her spell books Ellouise decided to head up to the attic and get some target practice in. She needed to stay active and on her toes.

This is done in Snapes P.O.V


“And again Elle,” said Snape, his voice void of any emotion. After days of practice and more practice Snape finally had Ellouise defending wandlessly, both of them standing at opposite ends of the attic facing each other as if it were a staring competition. Determination was etched on Elle’s face, her eyes bright with anticipation.
Snape focused his attention on something beyond the glow in Ellouise’s eyes, something deeper, something closer to her soul, almost as if he was looking straight through her. Nothing, he couldn’t see anything, he couldn’t hear anything, he couldn’t feel anything. A smirk played across his lips.
“You’re getting good at this. But the real test will come at the most unexpected of times,” he said, bowing to his pupil. Ellouise returned the bow, a similar smirk on her lips.
“I had a good teacher,” she replied closing the gap between them in two swift strides.
“Lunch?” she asked an eyebrow raised.

Looking out the small window for a second Severus decided he could afford to spend another hour or so here. He was in good company, what with the talented Ellouise and... the others.
“I suppose I can spare another hour,” he said gesturing for Ellouise to take the lead.
Together they moved down the flight of stairs swiftly and silently, like bats in the night. The walk to the kitchen was a short one, and Severus couldn’t help but hold his breath, hoping that she would be there. Even if things were different now, he still enjoyed her company, just being in the same room as her lifted his spirits. His eyes flew along the length of the table and stopped at the small group of people who were seated at one end of it, James, Sirius, Xavier, Remus, Naomi... but there was no Lily. Ellouise hadn’t hesitated at the door like he had, she was already amongst them, taking a seat between Remus and Xavier. She gestured for him to join them. He didn’t want to, there was no reason for him to be there, not with them and without her. But his legs betrayed his mind, and they moved effortlessly forward, bringing him to a halt when he reached the group. Instead of uttering a greeting he just bowed his head and took a seat beside Remus, the lesser of all evils.
“Severus, how have you been?” asked Remus in an effort to make conversation.
“I’ve been well... and yourself?”
Merlins beard this is uncomfortable! Though Severus as he locked eyes with James and Sirius.
“Oh, yes I’ve been well. The usual really,” chuckled Remus. What did he find so amusing?
Complete silence followed, the only sounds that could be heard were the ones coming from the stove where Kreacher laboured away preparing dinner.
“How’s your training going?” Xavier asked Ellouise, Severus shifted in his seat, his eyes flickering to the couple. Why she was with him he had no idea. All Blacks were the same, arrogant and naive. He blocked out the rest of the conversation. After downing a glass of gillywater Severus rose from his seat.
“I’ll be in touch Elle,” he said in his usual monotonous voice.
She nodded in response, “Thanks Severus.”
Severus... a name that was not often said with such kindness. He offered Ellouise a genuine smile, it may have been crooked and the light may not have reached his eyes, but that was the best he could do. The muscles in his cheeks burned with the effort of contracting.

“Off so soon Sniv... eehhh Severus,” barked Sirius, James snorted.
Severus could hear the blood pounding in his ears, his lips curled up in distaste.
“Unlike some of you I have things I need to do... things that will actually make a positive impact on the war against the Dark Lord.” Lazy twats... what did they ever do for the order aside from sit in the kitchen and drink? They should take a leaf out of Elle’s book, at least that girl was trying to do something to help... anything to help.
Satisfied that the mutt and his side kick didn’t have anything else to add to their weak attempts at insulting him, he turned on his heal and briskly wandered back through the kitchen to the stairs.

Here's the next bit from the last post... sorry its short.

Hopefully I'll have time (and motivation) to post again soon.
Enjoy!


He was about to leave when he found a woman blocking his path, her arms outstretched so that he couldn’t get by. Her long wavy red hair bounced around her shoulders gently as she descended the last few steps to the kitchen, Severus took a few steps back. He could have said something, he could have smiled... but he didn’t. A pain so intense reverberated in his chest, and he knew he deserved it. After everything he had put her through, after everything he had said to hurt her... she deserved better than him, but that wasn’t to say she didn’t deserve better than Potter.

“In a hurry?” asked Lily, her vibrant green eyes penetrating him down to his very core, to his soul- or at least what was left of it.
“Yes,” was all he could manage to say.
After a moment of standing there, gazing into her eyes, he urged his feet forward, hurrying past her and up the stairs through to the drawing room.
He stopped briefly, to catch his breath, fearful that he might pass out if he deprived himself of oxygen any longer. Even after years of holding his breath around her, he could still remember her sweet scent, the intoxicating fumes of honey and mixed berries with a hint of spicy cinnamon ... heaven.
Shaking his head furiously Severus clenched his jaw, You need to forget her, he thought to himself as he continued moving through the drawing room to the small entrance hall.
Inhaling a deep breath, and shutting his eyes as if welcoming an eternal sleep, Severus turned on the spot, a sound like a whip cracking rang through the hallway as he disapparated.

Back again! Sorry for my turtle paste at reading. I really like the direction your story is taking... Ellouise plotting to find her parents, the family heir loom found in the box, how the box couldn't open like horcruxes... It's all very interesting. And the most thing that I liked about your last posts was how you described Snape. You searched deeper within his character and gave him a justified reason behind his behaviour by describing his emotions, especially towards James and Sirius. I loved all the vivid descriptions you provided in your writing. As someone else has already mentioned, it's one of those stories that you can imagine yourself being in the setting with the characters. This ff is well worthy of a win so people should vote vote vote for the Golden Goblin Awards! I'll promise to stay updated on your story's progress more often than before.

Brill, girlfriend, as usual!

Ooooh, the mysterious necklace, the silver key....what secrets do they hold? What might their hidden meanings be?

Oh how beautifully you wrote this! OMG, how could anyone read that and NOT fall in love with Snape?

Oh, and love the way Snape describes the Marauder boys: "the mutt and his sidekick", "Remus- the lesser of all evils" Hahahahahahaha!

OH, Snape and Lily!!! Too often, his love for Lily is just a piece of backstory, an afterthought even. Nobody focuses on it; that's why it's so refreshing and heart-wrenching to read what you write. His feelings are still so fresh, his regret and adoration and despair... oh my heart was squeezed so tightly!!!

PAMS for the love of God!!!!!

Thank you Ava and Stef for your comments, you both know how much I appreciate them- they mean the world to me. So... I've finally managed to find some time to write. So without further ado... the story continues.

Hope you enjoy.



The rest of the day progressed slowly for Ellouise, she indulged Harry in a game of Wizards chess, letting him beat her twice in a row, well in her mind she let him beat her, but in all honesty is wasn’t far from the truth. Aside from that, there wasn’t much else to do. Naomi flittered about the kitchen with little Florence, the beautiful little girl already seemed to be growing at such a rapid pace. But she was a welcome distraction to the house. Ellouise sat and watched her sleep briefly while practicing her occlumency skills. It had paid off, she was improving, so every second she spent working to strengthen her new found skill was worthwhile.

It was only at dinner when she was sitting beside Xavier that she began to grow anxious.
“What’s that look for?” he asked between mouthfuls of mashed potato.
“What look?” retorted Ellouise, not realising she had a look to begin with.
“That one... the one that says your worried about something,” he said, moving his thumb over her forehead trying to smooth out the creases affectionately. He scooped her chin up into his hand, forcing her look at him. Why did he do this? She thought.
“What’s the matter?” he asked a little more sternly. Ellouise didn’t reply, instead she shrugged her shoulders and pulled her face out of his hand, turning her attention to her plate. But it was no use, she wasn’t hungry. Moving her peas around the plate she released a sigh, “I... don’t know.” That was all she could muster, she didn’t know what else she could say.
Xavier returned her shrug, then kissed her forehead for good measure, before taking another heaped forkful of his mash.

Deciding she would have an early night, Ellouise said her goodnights and trudged up the stairs, through the drawing room, up the next two flights of stairs to her room. Her small, quaint, room...
Closing the door behind her, Ellouise took a single step toward the bed before launching herself on top of the covers. Laying there she looking up at the ceiling before burying her face in her pillow. Something wasn’t right... something was... off. She could feel it, but what was it? Rolling onto her side she pulled out her wand from her jean pocked and placed it on the bedside table. Perhaps some sleep would do her some good. Closing her eyes, she lay fully clothed ontop of the covers, pulling one of the corners across her body so it covered her middle.

Sleep Ellie... just sleep, she thought to herself.

It seemed as though time had paused, she could hear the mundane ticking of her alarm clock, that annoying tick..... tock..... tick..... tock sound.
“Aaarrgghh”, she grumbled pulling the spare pillow over her head. Tick... tock.... tick... tock.
The sound was deafening, irritating, frustrating! And yet it wouldn’t stop. Contemplating throwing it across the room Ellouise sat up in her bed, turning the lamp on. It was late, on any other night she would have been asleep. But not tonight.

Grabbing the alarm clock from the table Ellouise raised her arm back, poised to ditch it at the wall, when all of a sudden.. it just didn’t matter. A silvery doe patronus trotted through her wall and stood at the edge of her bed, facing her, its misty white eyes starring.
“What the...” started Ellouise, but she was cut off by the all too familiar sound of Severus Snape.

“This is it... the moves tonight. I have information you might be interested in. Meet me in London, down Oxford Street... the old Whitlam Theatre, in half an hour. Best come alone.”

Snape’s voice filled her room in a hushed whisper, only audible enough for her to make out. Was this really happening? Did he just say what she thought he said?

... lets just say that things will be getting interesting soon enough. Or at least thats the aim lol.

Next post!


After a minute of sitting there blankly, as the silver doe vanished into thin air like whisps of smoke, Ellouise replaced the alarm clock back on her table and sat bolt upright, swinging her legs over the edge of the bed. She didn’t know what she was going to do. Had no idea whether there was anything she could do... but all she knew was that she had to try, she had to see Severus. Her heart was beating a hundred miles an hour, beating against her ribcage violently,
“Have to go...”she whispered to herself as she got off the bed, pulling on her boots and opening her wardrobe in search of a jacket. She selected a black one, and pulled it on, hastily doing up the zipper. Wand in hand, Ellouise wracked her brain for anything else she might need. What did she need? What was going to happen? What was she getting herself into?

As a precautionary measure, Ellouise slipped a handful of corked vials into a small back. She had a Pepper Up and Blood Replenishing potion, as well as Essence of Dittany, just in case she needed it, and she also had some Polyjuice potion. Shrinking the bag and its contents, Ellouise shoved it deep into her pocket. She had no idea what to expect, but it was always best to go prepared for anything. And so now, feeling somewhat prepared for what the night had in store for her, Ellouise turned off her lamp and made her way out to the second floor landing. She tiptoed slowly, eyes and ears peeled. Stopping, she listened carefully. It was uncharacteristically quiet, if she didn’t know any better Ellouise would have thought she was on her own. But no, perhaps they were all in bed... or just busy elsewhere.
Stealthily, Ellouise crept down the stairs, taking care not to make any sound at all. The last thing she needed was for someone to realise she was trying to sneak out. She’d gotten away with it before, but she didn’t want to take any chances.

It wasn’t until she reached the dark, musty hallway, that she allowed herself to relax. She inhaled deeply, satisfied with her efforts so far. Brandishing her wand, she conjured a note, and left it hovering in midair, hopefully nobody would notice it till morning, by which time she might be back. Might... because she really had no idea what was going on.
After taking one last look at the dark hallway of number twelve Grimmauld Place, Ellouise turned on her heel and disapparated. Destination, Oxford Street.

When she opened her eyes, all she saw was darkness, she could feel the hard cement beneath her feet.
“Lumos,” she whispered, steadying her wand before her eyes. She was down a dark alleyway. And she was alone, completely and utterly alone. But that didn’t bother her, she expected it. Though what Ellouise didn’t expect, was the silence. London was quiet... too quiet. The usually busy Oxford Street beyond the alleyway was ... deserted. She couldn’t hear a single car in the area. Then again, it was to be expected... she hadn’t been here since before the War broke out. But it made sense for it to have been affected, becoming desolate like so many other places that have once thrived. “Nox.”

Keeping close to the wall of one of the buildings, Ellouise made her way forward, wand at the ready. Once she reached the corner, she peered around the side of the building, and stole a glance down the street. There really was nothing left. It was... empty. Still not wanting to risk being seen, Ellouise cast the Disillusionment Charm on herself... feeling the cool sensation run down her spine as she became virtually invisible. Right, here goes nothing, she thought to herself, walking out into the street. The wind was chilly, she could feel her hair whipping back and forth as walked, occasionally feeling it sting her eyes. It didn’t take her long to find it... the old Whitlam Theatre. It was shabby, and run down... it had been this way for many years. The green paint peeling off its ornate doors, the windows in the front were cloudy and opaque. It had clearly aged, it was no wonder people referred to it as the old Whitlam Theatre, even if its actual title didn’t change. Ellouise placed a hand on the door, but didn’t move. She could still turn around and leave if she wanted to.
But did she want to? After waiting for so long to finally be able to do something, and she was... chickening out? No... she had to do it. Making sure nobody was looking, that nobody had turned up, she entered, pulling the doors open just enough for her to squeeze through.

It was darker in here than it had been out in the alleyway, and to make things just that little bit more unpleasant, the air was thick and stale. Ellouise could feel her lungs protest in discomfort, starved for oxygen already.
“Homenus Revelio,” she whispered, brandishing her wand in front of her. An eerie glow appeared a few feet away, almost like a shadow coming from the next room, it had that celestial feel to it. No doubt it was probably Severus, but just to make sure, Ellouise sent her patronus in front of her to scope him out. After a short moment the silvery African Wild Dog returned, its tail wagging and its ears pricked. It was safe.
Shinning her wand in front of her, Ellouise took the few stairs up to the main floor landing, and moved on into the Theatre auditorium. The grandeur had long died out, everything was stained and tinted with age. It wasn’t what it used to be. The large silver screen backdrop on the stage was tattered around the edges and hung slightly crooked.

“I’m glad you came,” said Snape, his silvery voice drifting up to meet her. Ellouise turned around to find him sitting in one of the old seats, he wasn’t looking at her, rather he was looking around her. “I know you’re here.” Ellouise removed the Disillusionment Charm, she had grown so accustomed to using it that she often forgot she had it on.
“What’s happening?” were the first words out of her mouth.

Ooh I wonder what Snape's up to. And why wasn't there a better meeting place than the old theatre in a remote vicinity? I bet it all carries a purpose.

Yet again I love your descriptions. It makes for an easy and comprehensible read. Love it!

I'm looking forward to reading more. PAMS (please?)

Thanks Ava!!!! Again your comment is muchly appreciated!

Next Post!... tis a little short, and I appologise, just been busy busy busy recently.


Snape considered her for a moment. His eyes travelling over her body briefly before locking on her face. He heaved a sigh.
“They’re moving your parents... tonight...”
“When?!” retorted Ellouise, eager to hear more.
“In a few hours.”
“Is there a set time, or just whenever they feel like it?”
Ellouise huffed a little, she wanted more answers, more detail, and Snape wasn’t giving it to her.
“Yes... they’ll be making the move in four hours.”
Four hours... that was plenty of time, for what? Ellouise wasn’t sure yet. But she had time to figure that out. Her brain was ticking, thinking methodically, she needed more information.
“Where are they moving them to?”
Snapes lips curled up in a faint smile, he pat the seat beside him, indicating that she should take a seat.
“... To Azkaban,” he mused in that deep voice of his.
Ellouise starred, why wasn’t he saying anything? Telling her this information instead of having her extract it from him... painstakingly. She waited, but he just starred, a small twinkle in his eyes watched her through the darkness of the room. It was unbearable, every second that they sat there unmoving, unspeaking, was wasted.
“Sorry... Severus, but why is it you called me here?” she asked a little icily.
Snape let out a small laugh, but soon recovered. “I called you here to tell you how you can save your parents... I’m just trying to ascertain whether or not you are up to such a task.”
Oh well that was a bit rich, what did he care whether or not she was up for it?!
“And... what have you concluded?” she asked, returning his stare.
It was quite for all of a minute before Snape responded, “I think... Miss Browne, that if anyone can do it.. it’s you.” He sounded genuine, even sincere, with a hint of... pride, in his voice.
“So tell me what I need to know.” It wasn’t a question this time... It was a statement, and she wasn’t about to take no for an answer. If she was going to do this, tonight, then she would need all the information she could get.

They're moving her parents to Azkaban? But that's cruel! Ellouise to the rescue! I love how determined and eager she is. I really hope their mission is worthwhile. Somehow hearing the plan and having Snape giving her the orders and guidance sounds comforting. I don't know why. But he just seems to be one of those people who can't ever fail at a task. Even sort of like a Dumbledore-like figure who one can trust and rely on.

Anyways, I can't wait to read more and don't ever worry about the short chapters. The quality is what matters, not the quantity and we'd appreciate whatever that we can get from you. It's definitely worth the wait.

PAMS (please)!

*wonders in about two weeks ago and reads the first page*

......

*Goes on holiday*

......

*Comes back from holiday and reads pages 2, 3 and 4*

Ahem, Would this make me a new reader? Am i a new reader? I've been reading this for like the beginning hahah. Haiii Emily, i made it AND i read it all *nods* it's gone 3am here so will have to go to bed in a minute

Hmmm *thinks* Where to start? The beginning? Yeah that seems...normal....Well can i say when i first started reading this my eyes were going all boogle on me and weird... but i got used to the blue coloring and the way you set your chapters and it was all a blast. I had real fun reading this Honest!

It's both weird and good to see Lily, James, Sirius, Remus all here in one piece. How old is Harry and Ron? Because i haven't heard of Ginny so i'm guessing young, yes seriously that was one of the question's that was running though my mind when i started reading Also it's weird to have Sirius with a family and Remus married to anyone but Tonks....i'm so used to the books, but don't get me wrong i LOVE the charcters....I mean hello where would we be without Xavier??

Now to the romance.... *twinkle eyes* Ellie and Xavier? Well Well Well...what have we here? haha, i think their relationship is a blast and really sets part of the story off. I mean hello i see this 'mission' going wrong and Xavier coming to the rescue full prince in shiny armor style I want to seem more of them too! i also love how Charlie and Auton ? like her too....Xavier and Charlie i can see a fight coming on XDDDD

Next the last few chapters...with Snape. He seems REALLY fishy to me, like he's ter to catch her, or the mission will go all wrong and she's captured. Also that necklace that she put on...FISHY! veryyyy fishy *nods* Ah so many things fishy here it might just turn into a fish market XDDD hahaha. i'm not hyper don't worry...tired yes, hyper no.

Ah told you this would be longg, you desearve it. I LOVE the story so far and i really want to read more. I mean i don't want it to end! :O hahaha. Have you sorted the chapter guide out yet? haha. I really hope you post more soon because i wanna read about this rescue mission....it's going to be epic.....and Snape look after Ellie our you'll have me to answer to *eyes Snape.*

Thanks for getting me to read this
PAMS!

Eviee <33

Hai!

I've read it all, and I loved every moment of it!
Elle and Xavier are the perfect couple!

I love how everyone is together, like an extended family, although it must be hard for Charlie to see the two of them every day...

This necklace of Elle's... Has it got something to do with her restlessness and her worry levels?

PAMS!

First of all thank you Ava, Eviee, Abi and Rachel, means a lot to me that you're reading this and like it. Woot.

And umm.. so after a LONG time away from writing, I've mustered up SOME motivation to post again, simply because it's not too far from the finishing line now, so may as well continue.

The next brief chapter:


There wasn’t much time to gather her thoughts, as soon as she had made her demand, Snape launched into a very articulate explanation of what should happen. How much of it was accurate? She had no idea. How much of it could she accomplish? Again, not a clue. But Ellouise did know one thing, and that was that she had all the motivation and determination in the world, and she wasn’t going to let anything get in her way.

Walking down a dark alleyway between two quiet suburban streets in a little hamlet outside London, Ellouise kept her eyes peeled and wand at the ready. She didn’t know what to expect upon her arrival at a destination Snape identified as being Karkaroff’s home. Despite this, Ellouise wasn’t fearful, if anything she was rather at ease with the idea of abducting a death eater in his own home while he potentially slept. Not that that was going to happen, but at any rate, the experience would be an educational one. Scaring Karkaroff off would be one thing, detaining him would be another... either way, she wasn’t going to let Karkaroff return to the Dark Lords side. Over her dead body, literally.

Tiptoeing out into the light of a streetlamp, Ellouise peered down at her seemingly invisible shoes. Well this was it... make or break time. With one last deep breath and one last wandering thought to the safety of Grimmauld Place, Ellouise stepped forward onto the quiet street, taking care not to let her footsteps echo. Her eyes searched the front yard of a dishevelled looking property, the white paint peeling off the low picket fence, weeds dying in and amongst a bed of unkempt roses. It was rather poetic. Someone as stone cold hearted and mindless as Karkaroff, was perfectly depicted by his own front garden. You are as you live? Ellouise still hadn’t brought up the courage to intrude upon the front yard, it wasn’t out of fear, but out of wits. A wizard like Karkaroff would be careful, he would have wards in place to defend against intruders, she wouldn’t be able to simply stroll into the home unannounced. Pity.
