"Where is she?"

-Severus

"WE NEED HER TO SAVE US"

3 : 2 9  A M

12 Grimmauld Place

"Thank you all for
coming on such
short notice!"

Albus sat at the head of the table with his hands entwined together. Everyone from The Order was present at the table. It was so late in the night that most of the Order members were rubbing their eyes and yawning. Mrs. Weasley offered everyone tea, which some refused, then sat next to her husband rubbing his shoulder as he sipped his tea.

"I know you are all curious as to why I have called a meeting so suddenly. We all know the dark lord has risen once again. He has begun to gather his followers; rebuild his army." Albus stated. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. 

"He is getting strong as time passes. And because of that, we will need something more power than even he could imagine." He said.

Everyone looked to him in confusion. Even Snape furrowed his brows in question.

"And how, exactly, are we to abstain a power of that magnitude?" Severus asked.

"I must confess something to all of you." Albus sighed as he looked down at his hands,"Many in our world have honored me by saying I am the most powerful of our kind. I must confess that I am not." Snape rolled his eyes at the headmasters melodrama.

"Albus now is not the time to be humble" Severus said sharply.

"Watch how you speak to him Snivelus." Sirius rebutted causing Snape to glared at him.

"Gentlemen please!" Albus bellowed. The two men turned their glare toward him. "This is not a matter of my amenity, Severus, it is a fact. There is another that has more power then any of us can imagine. Stronger the any witch or wizard we have seen."

By now everyone began whispering to themselves in question. A few started to bombard their leader with questions.

"How strong is he?" Said Sirius.

"And where was this person during the first war? When it was truly needed" Remus asked in an outraged

" And why hasn't the dark lord been made aware of this? Surely if this person exists he would've gotten word of it?" Questioned Molly.

"I have made it my life's mission to let their power to go unknown to all but I fear I may no longer have that privilege." Said Albus as he stared at his hands, twirling a silver ring in his middle finger. Severus took notice of the headmasters behavior before asking the question everyone wanted answered.

"Why are you only just now telling us this?"

Albus looked towards Severus with a blank look. He studied everyone's face for a minute or two before responding.

"Because the dark lords power is not something we can handle on our own anymore. We need her to save us. All of us." He said.

"Her?" said Tonks in wonder.

"What power does she possess?" Fired Moody. Dumbledore raised a hand.

"You will all know once you retrieve her." He said.

"Us?" Remus said in astonishment.

"Yes. You, Tonks, Severus and Sirius. You will travel to the States where she is in hiding. She will put up a fight but you must do everything you can to bring her here. I trust you will be able to handle yourselves."

"Where is she?" Said Severus for the first time since the revelation.

Albus holds the young professors gaze, seeming as if he know something Severus didn't. At the thought, Severus felt an odd feel course through his chest. Whether it be excitement or dread he didn't know. Nor did he hate the feeling. This situation is getting more and more difficult.

"A city well known for it's magic." Albus said.

"New Orleans"
