Basement

Amanda and Olivia snuck down, and Amanda scanned the room. "It seems the battle stayed upstairs."

"Hopefully." Olivia kept glancing behind them every few seconds. "Why are we going there again?"

"Because it's safe up there, and we can shoot spells out the window?"

"If they find us, we'll be cornered."

Amanda rolled her eyes, "Olivia, don't worry." She lifted the portrait off the wall, revealing a semi-wide, crawl through passage. "It's pretty high... Are you going to need a lift?"

"No-I-do-not-need-a-lift!"

Amanda slipped into it, "Whatever you say." She moved in about a yard and a half so Olivia could get in.

And Olivia made it into the passage without a hitch.

Amanda's voice echoed when she spoke, "Liv, did you bring the picture up with you so we can put it back in place?"

"No."

"..." Amanda sighed, and casted the summoning spell. The picture got stuck at the opening, and hung in it's original place again. "Shall we continue?"

"Right."

So they army crawled up that steep passage.

And Amanda and Olivia reemerged back here.

Standing at the end of a tunnel was a familiar face. The one with dirty blonde hair and faded green highlights sticking out of her cloak's hood. She excitedly pulled down her hood when Olivia's face emerged from the end of the tunnel. The familiar face seemed completely different, it had lost it's blunt, sarcastic edge for a 'I'm know a right' smirk that seemed to be painted on. "Livvy the Lez! I didn't expect you to still be alive still!" Lin said in a cheery tone that seemed to be oozing with a mixture of joy and fake joy. She honestly didn't though if Olivia was good or not, so, she was playing the 'I hope she is' card.

Amanda's muffled voice came from behind Olivia. "Olivia. Who is it!?"

Olivia stood there, solemnly staring at her former housemate. "You did not just say that."

Amanda's head popped out of the tunnel.

Lin's smile smirk/smile grew even larger. "And you finally honestly came out with Amanda!" Lin clapped in joy. Meaning she's good if she's with Potter. Unless Potter is rebeling and joined forces with Voldemort... Yes! That must be it!

Amanda stared at her blankly for a minute, mouth hanging open.

Olivia continued to just sort of look at Lin. She didn't have anything snarky to say to Lin's accusation. Nothing whatsoever.

Lin's smile faded. "Too bad I have to kill one of my bestie's who's joined forces with the reblein Potter!" Lin whipped out her wand. "I didn't think it'd come to this, Livvy!"

Amanda continued army crawling not realizing she had run out of tunnel, and just kind of fell on the ground on her butt. She stared at Lin, mouthing 'What the he**' because no words would come out of her mouth.

After a few more moments of trying to come to terms with the fact that Lin was even there, alive, and about to kill them, Olivia took out her wand again. "Lin, you know what..."

Lin swung her arms back and forth. "What's up Livvy? You better tell the Rebeling Potter Princess that you, as her witty sidekick and romantic interest, your last words!" Lin said in a sing songy voice.

Amanda finally found the words to say. "...I am a..." Actually she didn't, she just continued to stare at Lin.

"You're damn right, she's mine." Olivia smiled. "Stupefy!"

It zoomed past Lin's hip. "Oooh bad aim, Livvy!"

Amanda's gaze turned to Olivia. "I'm who's what now?!"

"Damn, you can't let me have ONE one-liner, can you!? STUPEFY!"

Which zoomed past her ear. "Livvy! You really need to take the time to aiiiimmm! Crucio!" The spell went towards Olivia.
