Madison Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Chapter 7: Quick Realizations

Harry and I were required to stay at the Burrow for the next few weeks. However, George and his twin had popped over a few times. Those times consisted of George and I disappearing for a long while, only to return when somebody walked in on us.

More and more disappearances have taken place, and on me and Harry's sixteenth birthday, my godfather came with some news.

"There has been a couple more dementor attacks. And they've found Igor Karkaroff's dead body in a shack up North. I'm surprised he lived for even a year after deserting the Death Eaters. Regulus, Sirius's brother, only managed a few days..."

I winced inwardly.

Sirius.

Each time his name was said I remembered The Veil... My mission...

"Did you hear about Florean Fortescue, Remus?" Bill had asked at breakfast on our birthday. "The man who ran-"

"The ice cream place in Diagon Alley?" Harry interrupted.

"He used to give us free ice creams. What happened?" I finished.

"Killed."

"Olivander has been kidnapped," Mr. Weasley said.

I sighed. Everything was going down hill.

"Madison..." Lupin then said, unable to contain it anymore. He raced up to me and scooped me up in a large hug.

The day after our birthday, our letters arrived. Harry had been made captain of Gryffindor's Quidditch Team, and I was once again a lone wolf.

Harry now had the privilege to use the prefects bathrooms because he was now captain. His status was as equal as theirs was.

Using the amazing bathrooms was strictly prohibited to me; I was still considered to be a serf on the social pyramid of the Renissanse.

Anyway, today was the day that we were going to go to Diagon Alley.

Much to my pleasure, Bill would be staying home with Fleur.

We had security, because of Harry and I.

I hoped it wouldn't be Mad-Eye, because then it wouldn't help me get any of my new robes. He'd be all like "No, there could be bombs in those pockets".

Much to my delight, there was a huge shadow that came and I recognized who our security was going to be.

It was Hagrid. I didn't know that he would be our security!

Something processed inside of my head; it wasn't something that I enjoyed realizing.

The first time- from what I can remember at least- Harry and I had gone to Diagon Alley, we were here with Hagrid.

Maybe this was the last time we'd go to Diagon Alley, and Hagrid was going to take us.

I didn't exactly like that thought.

I am so sorry that this is SO SHORT!

You guys deserve something, since I've been absent lately.

Anyway...

I AM A SOPHOMORE NOW!

There is a LARGE possibility of an update on Tuesday...

Maybe it will be a SPECIAL chapter?

You guys like those, right?

Anyway, love you all loads!
