lxiv ━━ adios albus.

Addy agreed, and Harry hesitated once before doing the same.

"Good." the headmaster motioned towards the exit, "Harry, I would like you to go fetch your Invisibility Cloak and meet us in the entrance hall in five minutes time. There is something I need to discuss with you, Adelaide."

"Yes, sir." Harry obliged, casting Addy a curious look before quickly disappearing behind the door.

His footsteps faded down the spiral staircase, echoing off the vast corridor he walked upon. Even from their distance, she knew he was anxiety-ridden and had the thick anticipation floating above his head.

Dumbledore didn't speak to Addy, turning away from her as he slowly strode over to his desk, keeping his gaze fixed onto the ground. His blue eyes were narrowed with thought, filling with seriousness.

She shifted awkwardly on her feet as she glanced around his office, wondering what in the world he needed her for. She wasn't sure what to say, so she settled for clearing her throat.

The headmaster glanced up at her, giving her a little smile, "Impatient just like your father, I see."

"Do you know where he is?" Addy questioned, "My mum told me there was- the Dark Mark over our house. No one was found dead, but we..."

She trailed off, not wanting her mind to travel into the darkest thoughts possible.

Dumbledore shook his head, "It is likely that your father has been captured, more or less likely to lure you to the Death Eaters. But they are not aware that he shares the same power-"

"And you didn't tell me?" it was hard to keep the bitterness away from her tone, "When I first came into your office expressing my power, you said that it's not genetic and I was most likely the only person alive to have the power."

"Yes, well-"

"And you kept so many things from me!" Addy was on a roll at that point, clenching her fists that shook with rage, "There's something more to my power, I just know it. How am I supposed to know the truth if no one tells me a damn thing! Mum and Sirius have been so secretive about their past, someone would think they shagged or something."

"They never had a romantic relation, I assure you." Dumbledore almost seemed to crack a smile at his irony, "But that is not what I wanted to discuss with you, Adelaide. Please calm yourself."

She sighed, but knew it would be no use to stand there and argue pointlessly.

"Voldemort is bound to be after you," he began, "He is in the search of strengthening his ranks with powerful witches and wizards, and many other magical creatures. Your power is one that hasn't been researched well, but even with the little reading I have done, it is very influent. You already tried controlling Harry's emotions several months back, but that was just simple. Both of you have a special connection, and you are so close to him that you were able to easily tap into his feelings. There are certain limitations to this however with other people you attempt to try it on, but with the proper training, I assure you that it will go well."

"So what are you saying?"

Dumbledore's chin raised as he examined the Sorting Hat, which was sitting on a shelf near them, "You will need to go into hiding soon. It will be unsafe for you to live a proper life, knowing that Voldemort might infiltrate the Ministry sooner or later. I have a place for you to go to, and a person for protection. She's an ex member of the Order and has moved out of the country after the first war, but she knew your mother, and agreed to help out and return. This woman has dealt with your father and his power in your past, and will know how to train you properly. Callista will go into hiding as well with you, for her safety as well."
