The Great hall

[Leigh]

Leigh opened her eyes. Immediately she noticed that she had no clue where she was. She stood up.

"Sit back down," a cold voice said to her.

"No," she replied back defiantly.

"We can't have you losing all your strength, Miss Adams."

"No, I suppose not. I'm guessing you're putting the plan in action?" she asked cooly as she walked over to a table, her back to the man.

"Yes," he said simply.

"Why am I not surprised? You are too predictable. That's why you will fail, even if I play my part magnificantly."

"You aren't able to get away, nor are your friends able to find you."

"You think I didn't realize that?! I know where I am!" Leigh had indeed realized where they had taken her. "As for my friends, you'd be amazed at what they can do." The man laughed at this.

"I think your friends have too much confidence. Even with Miss Sander's powers, they won't be able to find you."

"I've already consented to do what I'm told, is that not enough for you?" she asked angrily.

"No," the man smirked, and then strode out of the room. Leigh picked a picture frame up from the table and threw it against the wall. The glass shattered into tiny different peices as it hit the floor.

[Te§§a™]

"That is just it. I don't have a clue." She thought for a minute, then slapped her forehead. "Conner!" She exlaimed and ran to the portrait. "I am going to Hogsmeade. Please tell Harry when you see him to go to the ministry."

Tessa ran down the hall and opened her passage and stepped in. She closed it and stepped on the steps, magicly making them speed up. Tessa then headed for the passage to Hogsmeade. When she opened it she was hit with a spell and thrown to the ground.

"Oh my bad." The voice said and helped her up.

"HARRY! YOU IDIOT!" She exlaimed as she punched him.

"You scared me! What ever lets go."

Once they were out of the passage they ran for the TBS. "We will use their fire."

Once at the ministry Tessa and Harry went to the auror floor where they found Conner. She pulled him aside and said, "I know you know where she is. Tell me."

"No. Go back to school."

She gave him the finger. "Yeah no. I need to talk to her. Tell me."

"She is fine. She doesn't need you freting over her. Go to the hospital wing or whereever you were." Tessa rolled her eyes and turned around to walk away. She then turned back around and punched him in the eye.

"I'm not fretting. What I am is getting angry because everyone thinks I am weak and don't need to know where my friend is."

"Dude, just tell her." Harry said pointing to his hopelessly broken nose.

"My bad." She said and waved her wand. "There you go."

"What about my nose?"

"Walk it out." She said quoteing one of her favorite songs.

[Leigh]

((Hehehe... Conner knows where I am... But he doesn't. It's confusing.. it really is. Conner is also a weee bit mad at me right now.))

"Please Conner, just tell us where she is," Harry said.

"Nope. No way," Conner replied cooly. He wasn't too happy with his younger sister at the moment.

---------------------

"If you've quite finished your little rampage," another voice said coldly, "then there is dinner downstairs."

"I really don't see the point in your trying to keep me healthy if I'm just going to die anyway!" she stated angrily. She didn't exactly want to die at the present moment.

"You need strength and you know it," Aaron replied, eyes flashing. "If you don't, then the whole plan fails. Where are we then, Leigh?"

"There is no 'we' in this, Aaron."

"Really? Because I thought there was," he smirked.

"I can't believe you!" she said, turning around to face him. "You are supposed to be my brother's best friend. You're just a traitor though. A pathetic traitor."

"What would that make you, my dear?" he asked, laughing.

[Te§§a™]

"For the love of god. Tell me where she is. Now or you will have more than a bad nose."

"No. Go HOME!

"You are so stubborn!" She said and slapped him. She tried occlumency and was able to get a bit of the fight Leigh and Conners fight.

"Get out of there."

"You wouldn't tell me so I took matters into my own hands."

[Leigh]

Leigh said nothing to this. Aaron's smirk got bigger.

"Yes, that's what I thought. Who ever thought Leigh Adams would become a traitor? Certainly not I. But... here we are. Now, are you coming to dinner?" he asked.

"In a minute.." she replied.

"I'll wait," he warned her.

"Fine! I'm coming."

"Good," he said, putting his arm around her waist. She fought back a flinch.

((OOC: Buahahaha.... you'll see.))

[Te§§a™]

"Tell. Me. NOW."

"No. Leave, I have work to do."

"She could be in trouble. My god you are selfish and stubborn."

With that Tessa turned and began to walk away.

"She is right you know." Harry said

[Leigh]

"I thought Aaron might be able to calm you down," the first man, Zack, said, looking happily at the two. "Now, Miss Adams, we need to know your position." Leigh took a deep breath. This is what she had been dreading.

"I'm in," she said. With those two words, she sealed her fate. In only a few days, she would be dead.

"Excellent," Zack smiled. "Moving on to more cheerful matters, Martha says that dinner is almost ready."

"If I may be permitted," Leigh began, "I would like to write a letter to someone." With this, Zack raised an eyebrow.

"Not telling our plans, I should hope!"

"No, no. Only to my brother. He'll probably get it after the plan is completed."

"Very well then. There's a quill and paper in your room. You still know where it is, I'm sure?"

"I've not forgotten," Leigh said before going up to her room. Once there, she pulled out her quill and paper. Then she began to write.. Or, at least, she tried. Her thoughts kept going back to their argument.

----------------------
"I can't believe you, Leigh! This is the most stupid decision you have ever made, and trust me, you've made some pretty stupid ones."

"I know what I am doing, Conner! I'm not some little baby you have to protect."

"They promised you wouldn't be hurt?" he asked.

"Yes," she lied smoothly. "I'll be fine."

"I don't trust them."

"They're your best friends, are they not?! You think Zack and Aaron are going to hurt me? You think I'll let them?"

"I don't know anymore. Why? Why are you doing this? To me, to mom and dad, to your friends. You're betraying us all. You're a traitor," he said coldly. His words stung her.

"Shut up, Conner!" she shouted at him.

"I'm just telling you this. You go through with this, and you're no longer family to me."

"I... Conner, don't do this to me...."
-----------------------------------

"Need food?" Aaron interrupted her thoughts, sitting down next to her. In his hand was a plate of food. She wiped the single tear from her eye.

"Thanks," she said, taking the plate.

"You shouldn't care so much what your broth-" he began to say.

"It won't matter soon anyway. In a few days, I'll be gone. Sad thing is, there'll be no one to care. They'll all hate me for this, they really will."

"Gone?" Aaron asked. "Zack may let you die, but I won't."

"Why do you care so much?" Leigh asked, getting up and walking over to her closet. It was exactly as she had left it. She began picking out her clothes for the next day.

"I don't know," he answered honestly. "Don't tell me you're going to be so early."

"I'm not."

"You're laying out your clothes for tomorrow."

"Thank you, Captain Obvious!"

"You're not going to die. I'll see you tomorrow, Leigh."

Aaron got up and walked out of the room.

"What do you know?" Leigh whispered.

"Truth is, I can't tell you where she is because I don't know," Conner said to Harry.

"Then why aren't you looking for her?!" Harry asked angrily. Conner laughed.

"I've work to do, Mr. Potter."

"Your sister could be dying and you don't care. That's pathetic," Harry said.

"She's not my sister. Not anymore at least. Now, I have work to do. Miss Sanders and yourself need to go back to school."

[Quidditch Queen]

Sarah was getting suspicious. First Leigh had left class and now Tessa and Teresa! well, maybe there was a bug goign aroudn school. And maybe Sarah had jsut caught that bug. It was the bug of curiosity.

She popped a skiving snackbox chew into her mouth and suddenly, her nose began to bleed. Professor Flitwick excused her immediately. As soon as she was a good distance from the classroom, she popped the other end into her mouth. Her nose stopped bleeding.

"Scourgify," she whispered, and the dry and otherwsie blood disappeared from her upper lip.

And now to find the others.

[Leigh]

Leigh sat on her bed and sighed. She was so far from Hogwarts, and so far from home. The plate of food on her desk called to her. She couldn't deny that she was hungry.

"I'm not going to die," she said to the air. "I'm not a traitor."

Unfortunately, she didn't believe the words she spoke. A tear rolled down her face. Then another and another.

[Te§§a™]

"Oh so you are my boss now? Can't push Leigh around anymore so you go to me? You are a prat." Tessa spat.

"For once i have to agree with Tessa."

"The sad part is she looked up to you. And here you are, careing about work more than your own sister." Tessa finished and grabbed Harry and walked off.

[Quidditch Queen]

About fifteen minutes later, Sarah saw Harry and Tessa walking back up to the schoo. Where they'd been, she had no clue, but she decided to find out.

"Guys!" she called, meeting them as they entered the Entrance Hall. "Where have you been? And where's Leigh?"

[Leigh]

Conner shook his head sadly after they were gone. They wouldn't want to find her if they knew what he knew.

--------------------------------------

Sometime, Leigh woke up. Usually when she was in this house, she lost track of what time it was. Most people did. Sometimes she hated this house, and the way you had to watch every thought you had. This was one of those times. Quickly, she changed her clothes and headed downstairs.

"Where are you going?" Aaron asked.

"For a walk," she said coldly.

"You're not trying to run away?"

"You can come with me if you'd like," she told him, hoping he'd say no. Instead, he grabbed his cloak.

"Ladies first," he said, opening the door. She walked out and he followed. Neither of them said anything for a while. Finally, when they were out of earshot or sight of the house, he spoke. "So, who's side are you really on?"

"You tell me first," Leigh said. He paused, wondering if he should tell her.

"I'm here... to stop the plan. Which is why you won't die," he finally replied. Leigh sighed in relief.

"Good. Honestly, does anyone think I would ever help them?" she asked.

"You're the very center of their plan, what do you think?"

"I think yes, they do believe it."

"Did you honestly think that you were going to die?" he asked her.

"Well... it's still a possibility, no matter if I go through with the plan or not. I didn't tell anyone though. My brother found out, but I didn't tell him exactly what side I was on. He would go all protective on me. So.. now he's just not speaking to me anymore."

"How do you know that I'm not just saying this to get this confession out of you?" he asked her.

"Geeze, you're just full of questions. But.. I might have done a spell to find out if you're lying or not."

"As long as you know."

"What would you have done if I wasn't on our side?"

"Killed you," he joked.

[Te§§a™]

Tessa sighed and tried to think of a way to find her. It was oh brilliant Harry who thought of it.

"I know. Lets use our wands as compasses!" He had said sarcasticly.

"That is the most stu-BRILLIANT idea!" Tessa stated and said, "Point me"

Course with their luck it didn't work. Tessa cursed and thought some more

[Quidditch Queen]

"Please, guys, what's going on? I could help!" Sarah pleaded. Actually, she didn't know whether or not she could help or not, but she figured she could think of something if somebody would jsut tell her the situation.

[Leigh]

"Wow, great!" Leigh said sarcastically. "I've always dreamed of being dead."

"You would think, with all the trouble you get yourself into!" he exclaimed.

"You're mean, geeze."

"I'm not mean... just honest."

"Whatever you say... traitor man!" she added jokingly.

"Look who's talking!" he replied. She stuck her tounge out at him. This was one of her friends, and she wasn't going to die, and she wasn't a traitor. She enjoyed this time when she could think this, because as soon as she walked back into the house, she would have to think as if she was.
