CHAPTER SEVEN

13 Trigger Lane was out in the suburbs and Amy insisted they take seven different taxis, and the underground to get there to throw anyone off their tail. While Snape seemed to enjoy car trips he detested the train. The closeness of it seemed to turn him green and he was silent from the moment he stepped on.

Now the unlikely pair stood outside 13 Trigger Lane.

"Where is number thirteen?" Snape asked. Amy lifted an eyebrow they were standing right in front of it.

"It's right here," gestured Amy, pointing to the red brick two storey house. It was quite pretty, the gardens were well kept and the windows had a pale yellow blind.

Amy walked into the garden but Severus still stood apprehensively at the gate.

"Hello there!" called a Muggle man, as he walked around from the back yard.

"Hi," Amy greeted him, "I'm Amy and this is Severus." Severus was still standing on the footpath, obviously hearing the voices but not understanding where they were coming from.

"Non Muggles have to be led in, the Professor told us this might happen" the man explained, "I'm Barry by the way." He had soft brown hair and a friendly face.

"Nice to meet you," Amy said and the pair walked up Severus and led him up to the house.

"Flitwick did your wards then?" Severus asked, recognising the tingling feel as he walked on the front porch.

"A short friendly man, quite a character! And of course the Headmaster came later to add a few," Barry explained. Snape was thinking, his face closed and guarded. Who would need this much protection?

The house was cosy and a woman walked up to them from the kitchen.

"Hello," she greeted kindly and Amy smiled, "I'm Rachel, we are so glad to have you here. Let me just call Hermione down she has been up writing owls all day."

"Hermione!" Snape and Amy exclaimed at once, Amy in excitement and Snape in disgust.

Hi guys,
