Liana Holly's life was a mystery, a puzzle and in some aspects, a down right disaster. With the disappearance of her parents when she was barely seven years old to the discovery that her family was not as sh...

LIANA had locked herself in the upstairs bathroom exactly one hour ago and had not resurfaced since.
She sat on the floor, under the slightly cracked and mouldy mirror, staring at the same spot on the floor that she had been looking at for a while now. Her body didn't move an inch, she didn't even blink. The only sign of life from her was a shallow intake of breath every now and then.
Although Liana's body was physically in Grimmauld place, her mind was scattered far, far away from that. Her mind was in the dreaded maze of crystal balls again.
Liana could see herself, cowering against several shelves of crystal balls, crying quietly to herself. A few icy cold tears slipped down her pale cheeks and Liana raised a trembling finger to wipe them. A whisper swept like a gust of wind through the shelves of crystal balls.
"LIANA?!" It called distantly.
Liana took a shuddering intake of breath as she recognised the tone. It was Sirius.
Sirius was in the maze of crystal balls too.
"Sirius? I'm coming- stay where you are- don't leave without me!" Liana shouted into the empty cavern she was lost in. She clambered to her feet, her legs numb from sitting and began to stumble in the direction she thought she had heard the voice coming from. She picked up speed as she began to panic.
What if she couldn't find Sirius? What if he was in danger? What if he left her in the maze all alone to rot?
These dreadful thoughts encouraged her speed as she frantically threw herself round every corner, sharp blues eyes scouring every shelf for any signs of life. Finally she reached the familiar clearing in the crystal balls with the strange veil standing in the middle.
"Sirius!" Liana heaved in relief as she spotted her uncle standing just in front of the veil, his arms open wide, as if waiting for a hug. Immense relief washed over her and she dashed to his side and threw her arms around him. She squeezed him tightly, her face pressed up against his chest. But Sirius didn't respond. He stood there like a plank of wood, eyes not looking at Liana. Liana frowned as she felt his stiffness and drew away, slightly offended her Uncle hadn't hugged her back.
"Sirius?- Sirius are you alright?" Liana asked. She gasped as she grabbed his hand to give it a comforting squeeze but realized how freezing cold Sirius was. He was like a block of ice.
"Liana you shouldn't be here- it's dangerous- take Harry and the others and go!" Sirius shouted suddenly into the clearing. He wasn't looking at Liana as he said it however, his eyes were focused on some spot a good few feet away. Liana spun around, looking for Harry and anyone else but she couldn't see them. It was just her and Sirius.
