Harry POV

Important
"Talking..."
Direct memory

          I have this momentary pause as I look around the large group of professors and auras.  I see the protective barriers that cover the castle and protect the students inside.  I count and I retract names from my memory.  But she's really missing. 

       "Where's Fildwig?"  I speak softly.  Questioning.

The group slowly quiets down and takes the moment to look around. Theres a moment I see the head staring at Adencade, the man stands tall, back stiff but arms lack and lose. His eyes seem to look openly at everyone rather than scan. The head turns away from Adencade and I follow his gaze to lock with my own.

"Is that someone we should have interviewed?" He asks with a small nod.

"She was at the meeting- right?" I'm know fully standing. Arm gently brushing up against Hermione's as I look to the curly haired woman.

She nods. "She was yes, I don't think I saw her leave the room after the Head showed up."

"I guess we found our guy-... girl." An aura speaks up, loud enough for the group to hear.

Everyone above still holding protection spells doesn't. Multiple auras hang above and near the castle. Others have headed inside to search for anything dangerous and check on students. A small amount of auras stand around in a scattered arch in front of me.

"No." The head speaks calmly though strongly. Direction and point seeping into his voice. "I don't thing she was working alone."

     "What are you talking about?"  My voice was quickly drowned out as the head waved a hand.

       Multiple auras began moving from the arch as if ready for instructions.  The head made no effort to move before pointing at Adencade.  The taller man straightened his back and became defensive.  Auras headed in his direction, lifting their wands and quickly placing protective spells amongst themselves.  My legs go numb as I watch the scene.

      Mione's hand tightens on my arm and I take a step forward.  The twins search through the auras scared brainless, Missy holding tight to Adencade's sleeve, Fred jr. holding his sister in a tugging manor. Immediately and instinctively I hold out my arm to the two and mouth the word Come.

The twins ruff from Adencade's side Fred's hand dropping from his sisters shoulder to her hand as he begins moving. Missy though manages to start moving. Only the arm that grapples itself around her shoulders and quickly wips her up. Feet flailing in the air as Fred is thrown to a tumbling stop on the ground. Mione let's put a strangled scream as she drops to her knees pulling Fred jr. to her chest.

"Adencade!" I yell out stepping in front of my fallen friend and her son. My voice filled with anger, and confusion, and a feeling of betrayal.

He looks to me. Eyes sharp and dangerous. "What?" He says calmly like the moment was normal.

Missy squirms now in his hold as I take another step closer. My body begs me to go after the man to get Missy. But I can't do anything at the moment.

"Adencade let her go. What are you doing?"

"Oh come on Harry, you haven't figured this out yet.  I gave you the present, told you to drink more water, insisted we go to Hogsmade for the weekend, to relax.  You'd have to be stupid to not realize."
