Sirius took Harry and Jane to Grimmauld Place through the night bus (which is a wizarding transportation that if possible should be avoided). Needless to say they were all glad when the night bus dropped them off.
"Oh Merlin what was that? Oh the ground is great. I think next time I'll walk" Jane said making her way to the house with Harry and Sirius following her and looking at her with amusement.
"It wasn't that bad" Harry said. "Just like a rollercoaster, not that I've been on one but I have heard of it"
"It is that bad when you are being squashed by two guys" Jane answered while Sirius opened the door laughing and entering the house first followed by Harry who was laughing too.
"It is not funny" Jane said although she was giggling too. Jane and Harry took their trunks to their rooms and then went downstairs to the kitchen where Sirius was waiting. They sat down besides each other and across from Sirius.
"Well I think we should talk about this summer" Sirius started.
"Yes we should" The twins said at the same time.
"Okay, first I want to say that I wanted to come and get you when the month was up, but Dumbledore said that you weren't ready that I had to wait until your birthday"
"But why?" Harry asked.
"Well because your aunt's house is protected with blood wards and they are refilled everytime that you go to live with them. We thought that in one month it could have been refilled but apparently that didn't happen" Sirius explained.
"But why didn't you write to us?" Jane said.
"What do you mean? I wrote to you practically every day" Sirius said looking confused.
"I think I can explain that," Harry said and the other two looked at him.
"Well explain" Jane said looking at him expectantly.
"You see tonight a house elf came to our room and told me that I shouldn't go to Hogwarts because it was going to be a dangerous year. He said he took our letters thinking that we mightn't go to Hogwarts if we thought our friends had forgotten us" Harry said.
"It wasn't Kreacher was it?" Sirius asked.
"No his name was Dobby"
"Well let me think about it but for now, Jane come here we are going to check your face" Sirius said standing up and sitting besides Jane. He gently moved her head so she was facing him. Her right cheek was really red and swollen and it looked very hurtful.
"Okay I can't fix this but Molly Weasley might be able to," Sirius said. "But we should wait until tomorrow and we will receive a letter saying you used magic and they are warning you"
"But we didn't use magic" Harry said.
"They don't know that, they can only sense that someone in that muggle house used magic and that the only wizards that live there are you two and you are not of age." Sirius explained.
"Oh" the twins said at the same time.
"Okay for now, let's put ice on your face Jane" Sirius said summoning the ice and giving it to Jane. They waited for 20 minutes before the letter came. It told them that the next time they did magic outside the school they would be expelled from Hogwarts.
"Now after that magnificent letter let's go to sleep" Sirius said. They all went to their respective rooms and slept.
The next day Jane woke up with a lot of pain on her face and when she saw herself in the mirror her right cheek was extremely red and swollen. She decided she needed a shower and then she could decide what to do about her face. She got dressed in a knee-length blue summer dress with spaghetti straps and white sandals. Then she went down to the kitchen where Sirius was screaming at Kreacher.
"Morning Sirius" Jane said trying to save Kreacher from more screaming.
"Good morning Jane" Sirius said glaring at Kreacher one last time before turning to Jane and when he did his breath caught. "I think we should go to Molly Weasley before eating" he added before going upstairs to wake Harry up. Little time after that they were in front of a house that looked like it was holded up by magic since it was crooked.
"Well come on" Sirius said knocking on the door. Molly Weasley opened the looking somewhat mad.
"Good morning" Molly said looking at Sirius apprehensively.
"Um good morning Mrs. Weasley" Sirius said "Sorry to bother you but is just that Jane here is hurt" He explained signaling at Jane.
"Oh dear, come in I have a remedy to that, you know with six boys and a girl things get messy." Mrs. Weasley said in a motherly tone.
"Talking about them, where are they?" Harry asked looking around (probably looking for Ron).
"Oh I caught Fred, George, and Ron trying to escape to go find Harr... Well you!" She said noticing she was talking to Harry Potter. "Well why don't I go find Ron I know he will be thrilled to see you" Mrs. Weasley said forgetting he was grounded. She went upstairs for a minute and came back with a grinning Ron.
"Harry! You okay mate?" Ron yelled from the stairs
"Yeah, Jane is the one hurt, but it wasn't that bad" Harry said with the same enthusiasm (Jane glared at him a little for saying that she was hurt with so much enthusiasm).
"Right dear you are hurt, come on I'll fix you up in no time" Mrs. Weasley said leading Jane into a sitting room and making her sit on the couch. Sirius sat down next to her and Mrs. Weasley sat down on her other side.
"How did you get hurt?" Mrs. Weasley asked throwing a look a Sirius before examining Jane's face.
"My uncle got mad and I'm easier to grab than Harry" Jane answered looking around the room for Harry but not finding him.
"Oh," Mrs. Weasley said not exactly believing her.
"What did you think?" Jane asked her face hardening.
"Nothing dear just curious" Mrs. Weasley said quickly, noticing how protective the girl was of Sirius Black who seemed to be truly concerned for her. Molly didn't ask more questions and mended Jane quickly.
"There, good as new" Mrs. Weasley said as Harry entered followed by the Weasley twins and Ron.
"Fred, George!" Jane said jumping up and tackling both at the same time and they hugged her back laughing.
"We missed you too, shorty" Fred and George said at the same time. Sirius laughed at that while Harry looked at his sister fearing her reaction at that nickname but she just smiled at the Weasley twins.
"So do you wanna play Quidditch?" Fred said.
"Yeah it is not really fun playing two on two" George added.
"And that way you can meet Ginny. She can't stop talking about you, Harry" Ron said looking up and screaming "GINNY COME WE ARE PLAYING QUIDDITCH"
"Ron don't scream like that, next time you go up to your sister's room. If not you can say goodbye to your freedom" Mrs. Weasley reprimanded and all the Weasleys flinched at her tone and expression.
"Sorry mom" Ron apologized as Ginny entered the sitting room. She first saw Jane and smiled but her smiled freezed on her face as she saw Harry.
"Um... Uh... Hi" Ginny squealed blushing madly and looking down. Harry blushed too and looked at his sister for an explanation but Jane was too busy trying hard not to laugh.
"Well, mom we will be outside if you need us" George said.
"Um, Mrs. Weasley can you look after Harry and Jane for the day? And I pick them in he evening" Sirius asked blushing a little when Molly looked at him a little too harshly. But she just said "Sure, no problem" Jane and Harry said goodbye to Sirius and followed the Weasley kids out.
The kids divided themselves into two teams, separating the two pairs of twins. Jane, Fred, and Ginny against Harry, George, and Ron. Both of the teams were good but nobody knew Jane was such a great chaser and so her team won.
"Jane have you thought being on the Quidditch team?" George asked when they were walking back to the Burrow for lunch.
"Uh no I don't think Quidditch is for me" Jane said.
"You are kidding? You are a great chaser. You should try out for the team this year" Ron said excitedly.
"Yeah sis" Harry said smiling at her.
"But there is not a position open" Jane said blushing.
"Actually Katie told me Alicia Spinnet is transferring to another school so we are one player short" George said.
"You see now you have no excuse, you have to try out for the team." Fred said smirking at Jane.
"I guess, now let's hurry up I'm hungry" Jane said walking faster. She had actually liked playing, but she had a little problem. She was terrified of hights and obviously in Quidditch she had to be really high in the air.
After lunch the group separated. Harry and Ron went to Ron's room while Jane, George, and Fred went to the Weasley twins room. Poor Ginny was left alone so she went to her own room to do whatever she did when she was alone. Jane entered the twin's room and sat down in one of the beds (apparently Fred's since he sat down next to her) and looked around. It was a little room but the two beds fitted perfectly and they could still walk around.
"Nice room" Jane said
"Yeah it is not much..." Fred started.
"But is enough" George ended.
"You know you guys are mean?" Jane asked suddenly
"Yes" they both answered quickly.
"Why do you asked?" George questioned lounging on his bed.
"Well is just that you left poor Ginny alone, as if it wasn't bad enough to be the only girl in the family. You shouldn't ignore your sister like that" Jane reprimanded them.
"Please, Ginny bothers too much when we try to talk to her" Fred said smirking. Jane smacked him on the arm and glared at George who was laughing.
"Well since you have each other I'm going to go to her room"
"Good luck" George said
"And remember our doors will be open for when you come back regretting your decision" Fred added and both of them were laughing. Jane left after sending a last glare at them. She went up the stairs and knocked on Ginny's door.
"Um, Ginny is me Jane. Can I come in?" Ginny opened the door and looked at her skeptically.
"What do you want?" She asked carefully.
"Nothing, just to see if I could come in. I feel an overload of boys and I can only imagine how you feel" Jane said smiling and Ginny smiled back.
"Sure, come in" Ginny said stepping to the side and letting her in. Ginny's room looked bigger than Fred and George's and definitely more organized.
"Wow, I like your room much more" Jane said smiling. Ginny was staring at her but smiled when she heard what Jane said.
"Thanks"
"So what do you usually do to entertain yourself," Jane asked.
"Um, I read stories about Harry" Ginny mumbled embarrassed but Jane took no notice of that when she replied.
"Oh, I've read those. They are good but please they make Harry look like a hero who actually did more than just cry that night."
"But are you saying that your brother is no hero?" Ginny asked trying to defend Harry. Jane definitely took notice of that and observed Ginny curiously.
"What?" Ginny asked blushing.
"Nothing, just thinking. So do you want to read a really good book?" Jane asked and Ginny nodded. "It is a muggle book but I loved it" Jane added giving Ginny one of her books (she always carried more than one, you never know what might happen).
"Cool, I've never read a muggle book" Ginny said looking at it. The two girls sat on Ginny's bed and started reading different books commenting about them now and then. Fred and George came looking for Jane in the evening and founded her and Ginny sleeping side by side. They decided not to bother them and went downstairs to Percy's room and bothered him. Not long after that Sirius got to the Weasley's house to pick Harry and Jane up. Harry came down happily but Sirius had to go upstairs to and pick Jane up from the bed carrying her back downstairs. Harry said goodbye to everyone and they went back to Grimmauld Place.
