RUN! Lauren yelled at herself, willing her feet to move as fast as they could. She had been gone from The Cursed Pig for about a week and was now in a forest somewhere. She had been wandering around when she'd been spotted by Snatchers. Snatchers that were currently chasing after her, shooting curses as she ran. Her breath was coming in gasps and adrenaline was pumping through her veins, but she didn't stop running.

Meanwhile...

Harry ducked behind a tree as Ron threw another spell. They were supposed to be hunting, but they'd gotten a little carried away. Harry was about to attack when they heard shouts and a scream. A scream that sounded strangely familiar. Holding their wands at the ready, the boys walked towards the noise. 

She didn't even see them. Lauren ran and ran. When a binding charm came within an inch of her leg she started to scream as she ran faster. So, it was pretty painful for Harry Potter when he was slammed into. The two collapsed to the ground and Lauren whipped around, pointing her wand at Ron as she registered who she had just unintentionally tackled. When it clicked in her head, she lept to her feet and grabbed the boys as Harry started to stand. Lauren glanced around the area and spotted a hollowed out tree. She shoved the boys inside and dove in after them as the snatchers ran by. After they'd gone, the three of them started to breath again. Lauren was the first to speak. 

" 'ello Harry. Ronald. How's it going?" she said, trying to diffuse the tension.

 "What the bloody hell just happened?" Ron asked. 

"Snatchers." Lauren answered. "They're after me so, if you'll excuse me, I have to go kill them and then we can continue this conversation." With that, she crawled out of the tree. 

"Wait!" Harry cried. "Why do you have to kill them?" Lauren stared at him as if he'd grown an extra head. 

"If I don't, they'll report my last known location and there'll be more of them to deal with. And I'm sorry if you'll lose the bet you made with Ron over this, but I can't handle over a hundred Death Eaters and snatchers by myself at one time."

"Oh," Ron said bluntly. But when the snatchers came back, Harry persuaded Lauren to simply obliviate them instead. When that was all over with, the three of them headed back to the camp that Hermione, Ron, and Harry had set up. Hermione was overjoyed to see her. 

"So, back to our earlier conversation. Why do they want you?" Harry asked. Lauren shrugged. 

"I don't know, but apparently I am the second most wanted person in the wizarding world at the moment. Second only to you Mr. Potter." she replied. 

"The Order must be going insane if you're gone." Ron said. 

"Oh I already took care of that. They know I'm fine." 

 "And Colin and Marian?"Hermione questioned. Lauren nodded. 

"I sent them a coded message."she answered. "So, what have you been up to?" 

"We infiltrated the ministry." Harry offered. 

"Did you really?" Lauren said, surprised. "That must of been fun." Now it was their turn to stare at Lauren as if she'd grown an extra head. "What? You guys get to do all the fun stuff." she grumbled. "Harry got to fight a dragon for Merlin's sake!" 

"What, being the second most wanted person in the entire wizarding world isn't good enough for you?" Ron questioned. 

"Well there's not much fun in that. It's just a title." Lauren said sarcastically. Harry shook his head. 

"At least you haven't changed."he suggested. Lauren smiled at him.

 "I don't plan to." 

"So, what are you going to do now?"Hermione asked. Lauren looked thoughtful for a moment, then shrugged. 

"I dunno," she confessed. "Can I stay with you?"
