Okay, I'm not Jo. I don't wish to be Jo. This is for the only one who has been reviewing. After thinking long and hard, I've decided to keep it going for you.

Vernon gets up as Adri walks in the door, hollaring at her "You lied. You are a freak like him, and the rest." Adri sighs softly and sits down, grabbing a cup of tea and trying to figure out what to do now. "You are here because of the fact that Voldermort was going to kill you. We cannot protect you in that house. Now if you wish to die, so be it. We will bring you back there. So what will it be?" say Mad Eye, looking at them. Vernon sits down and mutters something about staying here. Mad Eye nods and looks over to Jewel, giving a slight smile in her direction. "Everything went fine Alastor. Although you might have told us about the surprise bodyguard, Shacklebolt over there." Mad Eye laughs softly and looks to Shacklebolt, then to the rest. "Why don't you guys eat, then we can talk about this later? After getting the Dursleys settled in."

Adri nods, sipping her tea as the guys dig in to the food.

Chapter 8

Neville grabs a sandwich and sits down at the table, while Jewel drinks her tea. Kingsley is over talking with Tonks and Moody while the Dursleys keep glancing at Jewel. She finally puts her cup down and looks at Petunia. Petunia holds her gaze then says softly, but loud enough for everyone in the room to hear "Thank-you. For coming to the house and saving us. I know Harry is your top priority, and you could have just left us to be killed." Harry blinks hearing that, never dreaming that his Aunt would ever be thankful for his so called "freaky friends." Jewel gives Petunia a slight smile and chooses her words carefully to her. "You are Harrys family. You raised him since he was one year old. You may not have been nice, or treated him good. But, you are his family and that is the reason you are here. If you were left there, Voldermort would have used you to get to Harry." Petunia trembles and flushes a slight shade of red hearing the other womans words before nodding her head. Both Dudley and Vernon just listen to the conversation keeping thier mouth shut for once. The rest of the house just watches on speechless, afraid to say anything that might harm what seems to be an understanding with Petunia. Jewel nods her head to the other lady and picks up her tea, continuing to sip it. Vernon looks up at Jewel with a confused expression on his face, before asking "You said your name is Adri, yet everyone here calls you Jewel. Which is your name?" Jewel chuckles slightly and says in her soft American voice "My name is actually both. The non magical world knows me as Adri, owner of many companies. The magical world knows me as Jewel. My full name is Jewel Adrianna Kirthantos Black." Harry stiffens hearing her last name, wondering if she is an outcast of the Black family. He shakes his head as his thoughts wander to Sirius, trying to keep up with the conversation at hand. Vernon nods and opens up his mouth to speak, but Petunia lays a hand on his arm and he stops. Petunia looks at Jewel and says "You use two names. You are.. not hiding I'd say, but keeping a low profile from someone." Harry gasps and looks at Jewel, not wanting his Aunt to piss off the one person who put her own life at risk. Before he can open up his mouth to say anything, Jewel laughs softly and nods her head. She looks at Petunia shrewdly, her amythest eyes taking in the older woman. Jewel grins to Petunia and says in a soft voice " You are right. I am not hiding. I am keeping a low profile. Then again, I'm guessing that I'm no longer going to fly under everyones radar after this is found out. By me keeping a low profile, I was able to help out the Order. No one outside of the Order knew that I was on the Orders side. I was able to find out things that the rest of the Order could not. " Petunia nods, seemingly satisfied with the answer. Dudley grabs another sandwich and chews on it, while Vernon looks thoughtful. "I know that there are a-lot of questions that you wish to ask. But right now is not the time to ask them. I need to speak with the others privately, if you do not mind." says Jewel, looking at the three Dursleys. Petunia nods and gets up, grabbing Dudley as Vernon rises. Two house elfs appear and Vernon looks startled at them. The house elves take the Dursleys bags as they start going out of the kitchen. The rest looked on, amazed at what is happening. The Dursleys, who made Harrys life horrible for so long it seems are now trying to understand what is happening. Harry jumps hearing a high pitched voice coming from its seems thin air "Mistress, Mistress.. Tia needs to speak to you NOW!" Everyone including the Dursleys watch Jewel as her face goes pale. Jewel mutters a soft "Excuse me please." as she heads to the parlour. Neville and Mrs. Longbottom look at each other worried. Jewel comes back in and Moody looks at her. "I need to run for a few. Something has happened at home that needs my immidate attention. I'll be back as soon as I can. I'm sure Neville, Harry and Kingsley can fill you in on what happened. When I return, I'll answer any questions that you have for me, Moody." Moody nods his head and Jewel walks out the door, not wasting any time.She apperates as Petunia watches in facination. Petunia looks at the one called Mrs. Longbottom and says, "I'm surmising that whatever just happened, its not good." "Moody nods and says "No, its not." Mrs.Longbottom looks at the spot which Jewel had apperated from, a frown on her face and whispers "No, its not good. I'm just hoping her kids are okay, and nothing is seriously wrong." Petunia looks at her in shock, then Mrs. Longbottom says "I'll show you three to your rooms." Petunia nods and follows her up the stairs, as does Vernon and Dudley.

Harry sits down in shock, trying to take it all in. He shakes his head,trying to clear his thoughts. Remus lays a hand on Harrys shoulder, and Harry gives him a small smile. Neville looks around the kitchen, noticing someone is missing. He looks to Moody and states "Okay, what have you done with him?" Moody chuckles and says "He is in a safe place. He will not be spying on us anymore." Kingsley and Harry look at the rest in confusion, obviously something went on and no one told them. Then almost like a light went off in his head, he says "The one that you caught spying today? The reason as to why you came to get me tonight instead of tomorrow night?" Moodys nods his head and Kingsley understands. Mrs. Longbottom comes back into the room, shaking her head and sitting down. Harry pours her a cup a tea and she smiles at him as she says "I don't know as to what Jewel did or said for the muggles to be in such a state of shock that they are acutally behaving. Its refreshing to know that they can behave. Hopefully they will stay this way and won't make matters worse." They speak of what went on that night at the Dursley house trying to figure out what might have brought this on. Neville sneaks a glance to the clock, amazed that the time is now 10:30 at night, and Jewel has been gone for an hour and a half. The Dursleys come down and peek thier head in the kitchen, wondering if its safe to enter. Petunia asks " We were wondering if Jewel has come back yet, and if it would be okay to get something to drink." Mrs. Longbottom looks to Moody and he nods, the elves appearing with a different variety of drinks to chose from. The Dursleys grab a drink and start to walk back up the stairs as they hear a door open. They hear a startled collective gasp, and Petunia looks in. She covers her mouth in horror as she sees Jewel, covered in bruises. Mrs. Longbottom recovers first and grabs Petunia, leading her to the parlour before racing back. Neville helps Jewel to the table and watches her winceas her hand goes to the left side of her ribcage as she sits down. She goes to grab a cup and the water for tea, but her hand shakes so much that she cannot pour it. Harry pours the tea and Jewel sips it, wishing for something stronger.
