The girl sat upon her bed staring out the window yet again. Her godmother, the woman who had raised her, told her they would be having guests. She had said it through the door, of course. She had told her she hoped that she would at least come out to greet them when they arrived, but she couldn't. She hadn't told the woman she called her aunt that, not wanting to upset her, but she couldn't take the risk. She didn't want to harm anyone, so she had decided to stay in her room, it was the best for everyone. She knew that they would probably think bad of her if she didn't come out, but she just couldn't, she couldn't. As she became upset her room began to be covered in a thin layer of ice, the room grew cold and dark, but she wasn't bothered. The cold had never really bothered her anyway.

"Seriously, Ronald" Hermione huffed. "What did you think? That she was alone her whole entire life!" She asked giving the boy an annoyed look.

"Well, yeah, I mean she is old" he said a dumbstruck look on his features. "I kind of expected her to have been a spinster" he said those within the room truthfully.

"Ronald" "Ronald" Hermione and yelled in chorus at the young, redheaded male. "That was extremely rude. You do realize she was once our age, right?" Hermione told him while Molly gave him a scolding look while saying "I'm disappointed in you"

" ?" Harry said to the woman curiously. "Yes, dear" she replied to the boy sweetly turning away from her son. "When will we be leaving?" He asked so he could go start packing and to help Ron lose some of the attention.

"We will be going tomorrow, dear. We will be traveling by portkey, I want all of you to go upstairs and get packed, and after your done, I'll come up and shrink down your trunks" she told the kids and then left the room, pulling along Arthur.

Soon, the others left to do as Molly had said, leaving harry alone with his godfather. "So, Harry, are you okay with all this? There will be more space" Sirius asked awkwardly, not used to talking to Harry about feelings.

"Yeah, I'm fine" he told Sirius with a shrug. "Well, that's good. At least we won't have to deal with my mother's portrait anymore" Sirius joked giving a chuckle. "You should head upstairs and pack before Molly gives us a talking to" he laughed lightly leaving the sitting room after giving him one last glance.

Harry stood in the shared room of him and Ron making sure he had everything. He went over the list in his head one last time. Trunk was safely in his pocket, Hedwig was already in his cage, and nothing was left on his bed or in his dresser. He was ready to go.

Harry then left out of the room, heading downstairs. They were all supposed to meet downstairs, the kids were to travel by portkey with Sirius and Mrs. Weasley and everyone else would meet them a short walk away from the manor. He saw that everyone was already in the hall except Ginny. He would never understand why girls took so long to get ready.

"Ginerva Molly Weasley, hurry, we don't have all day!" She yelled up the staircase to her daughter. Seeing Harry walk down the stairs, she smiled widely at the boy. "Hello, Harry, I'm glad to see your ready" she happily told the boy.

"Ready to go?" Sirius asked him with a small smile as Harry came to stand beside his godfather. "As ready as I can be" he replied to the older man with a shrug.

Several minutes later, Ginny finally came down the steps. "What took you so long?" Ron grumbled to his little sister. "I was getting ready" she retaliated to her brother with a sniff. "Of course you were" Ron mumbled annoyed. It was evident to see what Ginny had been up to since you could see the makeup on her face. This wasn't unusual, but it seemed darker than it usually is.

Fred and George began to snicker under their breaths saying something about a clown and Harry couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "Okay then, it's time to get going" Sirius announced, holding out a portkey in the form of a piece of cardboard.

Everyone then grabbed a part of the board and Sirius activated it. Harry felt a pulling and sucking feeling that he couldn't quite explain. It felt as though his body was being sucked through a straw and before he knew it, he fell face first on the ground and the other children did as well, except for Fred and George since they had used one with their father before. And as he fell clumsily the ones who hadn't landed feet first, landed gracefully onto the ground.

Harry quickly got up and unsteadily stood on his feet. They were in what was supposed to be the highlands of Scotland. Dumbledore said there would be a large house there, but no one could see it, as there was a charm protecting it. As he looked around even further, he noticed more order members appearing. He saw Tonks and Moody, along with Mr. Shacklebolt and Mr. Weasley. They all gathered around in a group and Harry suspected they were waiting for McGonagall or Dumbledore. All of a sudden he saw the two professors appear out of thin air and using their wands for something. Moody said they were fixing the wards so they would be allowed in and soon a large castle like manor appeared. Minerva then turned to them and proudly said "Welcome to McGonagall Manor!"
