AN: Okay, I keep saying that I will update but every time I try and write and such, things are coming up and with my college work and then with work every night after college, I'm getting bogged down. However, I am intent upon continuing with this story and would like to thank those of you who have reviewed to get my a in gear. Please, give me till the 27th of this month to get up the next chapter and then hopefully, once a month updates after that.

Here is a little taster of what is to come in the next chapter. Thanks.


Dumbledore stood and power rippled from his body distorting the air about him and the effect was a relative numb awe from the occupants of the room. His face was devoid of a smile and his eyes were glacial, missing their custom twinkle. The aged wizard at this moment showed the gathered Order of the Phoenix exactly why he could compete with the Dark Lord as they felt the unique flavour of Dumbledore's magic wash over them.

"We must find him!" was the sharp instruction he uttered, supposedly not angry, but stern none the less.

When he had emphasized his message with a sweep of the room with his sky-blue eyes, Dumbledore whispered a soft 'dismissed' before apparating away with a sharp crack. When the most powerful 'light' wizard in the world disappeared, the gathered were drew forward just slightly with the vanishing of such a powerful display of magic and left almost breathless, with a few exceptions of course.

Mad-eye Moody shook his head slightly and then looked over to one Severus Snape with a look of incredulity before addressing him with his gritty voice.

"Ya jus' had ta speak bad o' the boy eh!"


Thanks – hopefully more to come on the 27th of this month then!
