My emerald green eyes looked around excitingly, taking in the sights and sounds of Bourbon Street, New Orleans. I smelled the air and was not disappointed I had smelt spices of the various food that was on offer on the food truck stalls as I walked down the street. I looked to my phone, placing the ear buds in my ear and pressing play on my phone, the smooth piano tones of the song filling my ears as I placed my phone into my pocket. I then sighed content, knowing that my best friend was right. I needed the break, and considering the chaos the wizarding world was in at the moment, I, that is, Gwen 'Girl-Who-Lived' Potter, will need a few days to gather my thoughts and regain my strength before I would eventually go back and deal with the latest crisis that has the magical community in a ditzy at the moment.

There's something in your eyes,

Makes me wanna lose myself...

I smiled at the song, and thought about the events that had led me here. As per Hermione's request, I had taken took the week off, deciding to go far away and relax, before I had to go back and deal with the uprising of former deatheaters who were out for my blood. It was the same old story, a loyal follower of the long gone Voldemort's cause, wanted those; that is Hermione, Ron and myself, to pay for killing the mad wizard and so had declared war on not just us, but everyone. Already, I had stopped both Rabastan and Rodolophus Lestrange, famously known as the Lestrange Brothers. It further revealed that not only did the brothers wanted revenge for Voldemort's death, but also wanted retaliation for Bellatrix's death and so, they had nearly killed poor Ginny. Fortunately, we could stop them in time, and Ginny was now on the mend, recovering alongside her soulmate, who was a man named John Watson and who was also a doctor.

Makes me wanna lose myself...

In your arms...

And now, it was Pallando Oscar, a right hand man of Voldemort's when the mad wizard was alive. He kept to the shadows, and so far, I wasn't having much luck tracking him down. Pallando was a quiet man, but he was a man with an agenda. So far, he had caused terror and chaos in the smaller wizarding communities in Europe, using muggle made bombs to scare the various witches, muggleborns and muggles alike in the communities. He wanted the Ministry to burn, along with the Golden Trio. Hermione, who had just recently been appointed as the Head Auror, and my boss, along with being a liaison with the MI6, who were helping us contain the problem muggle wise and leaving me to wonder and keep me on edge. So far it was working, as I was pulling my hair out wondering and figuring out his next move, wondering about the future.

There's something in your voice,

Makes my heart beat faster...

One thing I could count on though, was hope that I would have a future. My heart panged as I remembered watching Seamus Finngans's soulmate words instantly go grey after his wife's death. He had been with his wife since the Battle of Hogwarts, and together they had made a life with each other. But as their home was in one of the villages that had been bombed, his soulmate's words - Honestly, must every spell or potion you brew end in flames, you pyromaniac?! - written in cursive writing along his lower arm, had gone from its bright black to dull grey and Seamus was distraught, which made me even more determined to find Pallando, and bring him down.
