Chapter .1.
Moody had gotten back in shape after his year in a trunk. Zara made sure of it. Now her father had apparated them somewhere she didn't know. It was mid-July now. He had taught her many new spells. She was really good at undoing curses and blocking them. Luckily there property was covered in wards that would allow her to do magic without the Ministry finding out. She had permission too to do magic.
Her Dad had told her to pack her trunk, her owl Legend and her kneazle Mystery. As they would be staying somewhere else now.
"Where are we Dad?" Zara asks looking around she could smell the dark magic.
"Read this", Moody says handing a piece of parchment to his daughter.
It read: The Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is at 12 Grimmauld Place.
Zara handed it back to her father. Knowing this place was under the Fidelius Charm. So was her father's house (they had moved to another after Barty Crouch Jr found them) so it was perfectly safe. Zara knew this was one of the Pure-Blood houses. She was a pure-blood after all.
"Let's go inside. Be quiet in the hallway. There is a portrait the screams if there is too much noise", Moody says leading them into the house.
Zara didn't like it. It was dark. She would have wanted to stay at home. But she wanted to be with her Dad. They entered the kitchen to find Mrs Weasley making dinner everyone was around the table. They looked up at their arrival.
"Zara!" Ron says giving her a hug which she returned
"Hi Ron. I have missed you. How has your summer been?" Zara asks giving him a kiss on the lips
"I missed you too. And it had been boring to you showed up. Are you hungry?" Ron asks
"Yes I am. Hi Mrs Weasley", Zara says politely
"Hello Zara dear it is good to see you again", Mrs Weasley says smiling
"Hello Zara", Sirius Black says
"Hello Lord Black", Aries says smirking sitting down next to her Dad and Ron
"None of that Lord Black stuff. You rescued me and I haven't been cleared of the charges yet. So call me Sirius", Sirius says
"Alright Sirius", Zara replies
"Here is your dinner", Mrs Weasley says to everyone
"Are we staying here Dad?" Zara asks
"Yes we are", Moody replies
"Where will I be sleeping?" Zara asks
"There is a spare room with Tonks. You can share that", Mrs Weasley says
"All right. Can you show me? I want to get settled in", Zara says finishing her dinner
"I'll show you", Ron offers
Zara smiles, "Thank you Ron. Let's go"
They left the kitchen and went upstairs.
"This is Tonks room", Ron says
There was two beds in there and a desk. Zara flicks her wand and her things unpack.
"How are you allowed to do magic out of school?" Ron asks his Girlfriend
"Dad got me special permission from the Ministry. Where are Hermione and Harry?" Zara asks
"Hermione will be here tomorrow. But I don't know about Harry", Ron answers
"Are you whole family here?" Zara asks
"Yes. But Percy", Ron says
"What happened with Percy?" Zara asks
"Mum and Dad had a huge fight with Percy. Because Percy refuses to believe He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named is back. Percy is siding with the Minister and declaring all of us fools for following Dumbledore", Ron says, "Don't mention Percy around my parents. Mum cries and Dad gets angry"
"Alright I will remember that", Zara replies
"How is your dad?" Ron asks changing topic
"Good. He is proud of me for rescuing him. Doing what I was taught", Zara replies
"You're lucky to be the daughter of Mad-Eye Moody. I bet he taught you lot of spells", Ron says
"Yes he has. I am lucky to have him as my father", Zara says
"And I am lucky to have you as a daughter", Moody says from the doorway making Ron jump
Zara goes and hugs him they were doing a lot of hugging lately making up for a year apart.
"Tomorrow can I go to Diagon Ally. I want some knew books", Zara asks
"Fine by me as long as I go with you", Moody replies
"Thanks Dad. I am going to sleep now. See you in the morning", Zara says
Moody kisses her forehead then leaves.
"Goodnight Zara", Ron says kissing her
"Goodnight", Zara says
The next 3 weeks went by quickly Hermione had joined them. Only her and Zara had done their summer homework they were trying to get Ron to do his. Finally Ron caved in and started doing it. That's when they here Mrs Black begin to scream down stairs.
"Looks like Harry's here", Zara says
"Yeh he is not going to be happy", Hermione says
"I agree", Zara says
After Harry had yelled at them more at Ron and Hermione then Zara. They head downstairs for dinner. They all eat quietly. There was an Order meeting tonight. Zara had talked to her father about it and was surprised by his answer. He said she could sit in after all she took out a Death Eater for him. So when Mrs Weasley told them to go upstairs there was an uproar. Zara remained quiet and listened.
"You can't stop Fred and George they are of age", Mr Weasley says
"Harry deserves to choose for himself", Sirius says
"I want to stay", Harry says
"Fine. Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Zara upstairs", Mrs Weasley says angrily
"Zara will be staying she is my daughter and my decision", Mad Eye says
"Harry and Zara will tell us anyway", Ron says
"Fine. Ginny bed", Mrs Weasley says
Ginny storms out of the room. Dumbledore wasn't pleased by the extra additions but there was nothing he could do. After the meeting Dumbledore pulls Mad-Eye aside.
"Alastor I want you to teach Defence for years 5-7 this year", Dumbledore says
"Why?" Alastor asks
"Because I need someone there I trust the Ministry is sending someone to teach the other years. But I want you to teach 5-7", Dumbledore says to his old friend
"Ok I want to be with my daughter anyway. She had a tough year last year", Mad-Eye says
"I know I am sorry old friend. But this year she will be happier you are there", Dumbledore says
"Alright I'll do it", Mad-Eye says
"Thank you. I will see you soon", Dumbledore says flooing away
The Next Day…
"Zara", Mad-Eye says the next day
"Yes dad?" Aries asks
"I am going to teach Defence this year for years 5-7", Mad-Eye replies smiling a little at the joy in his daughters face
"You will be a great teacher dad", Zara says hugging him, "You taught me. And it will be good to have you close"
"I know but you listened", Mad-Eye says, "Not other children do"
"Don't worry you will scare them into listening", Zara says smiling
Mad-Eye chuckles, "That I will. Go along Mr Potter is back home"
Harry had got off the charges and everyone was happy. That's when the owls come in with their 4th year results and 5th year book list. Aries quickly opens hers.

She smiled widely she pasted every class. And there was a Captaincy badge in the letter. It said she was joint captain with Harry. This was great.
"How did you go?" her father asks
"Here read it", Zara replies
"You did good baby girl. Even with the imposter. I am proud of you", Mad-Eye says hugging her
"Thanks Dad. You taught me everything I know", Zara says pulling away
"I am glad you listened. Go see what your friend got", Moody says to his daughter
"I got Prefect", Ron says shocked
"Congratulations Ron", Zara says kissing him
"I am Prefect too", Hermione says
"Well done Hermione", Zara says
"I got joint Quidditch Captaincy", Harry says
"With who?" Hermione asks
"Me", Zara replies smiling
