Chapter 85: Number 12, Grimmauld Place

When we arrived at the house, it was night already. I could see my breath into the crispy air, and that was the main reason why I knew where the other five people around me. Everyone was dressed in dark clothes, so the hot air and Tonks' bubblegum pink hair were mostly the only things I was able to see. I summoned the house and we entered. As soon as the door closed behind us, Harry and I were smashed together and my vision was covered by someone's hair. It smelled like lavander and vanilla.

"Let them breathe. They..."

"...can't learn for their owls if they're dead, you know."

We were released from the hug, I realized it was actually Hermione. She turned around and smacked Fred and George over the head. Fred caught her hand and kissed it.

"My lady"

"Oh, stop it."

"I thought you were on a ski vacation with your parents. What are you doing here?"

"I, ummm, I saw the papers. And your letters. I had to get back. Told my parents I gotta start learning early. I couldn't have told them about You-Know-Who or they would've taken me home probably. So, what are you going to do?"

"Wait, what papers?"We stopped in our tracks and turned to Harry, who had a pretty confused look on his face.

"Well, you know how Dumbledore talked after the third task about how Voldemort was back. And how everyone saw that I was dead and after that I wasn't anymore."

"Yeah."

"Well, the Daily Prophet has been publishing during the past month articles about what a coot Dumbledore is, and every newspaper in the Wizarding World is trying to find out what is the matter with Selene. And I guessed we all have to be together to figure this out."

"Well, dear, that's very sweet of you, but the adults have to settle this. Now, I know that you're probably hungry Harry, and all of you for that matter. But there is a meeting now, so why don't you go up until it's over? It won't be long, and after that we'll have a lovely dinner."

"Sure Mrs Weasley. Where sould we go?"

"I'll show you Mione. Let's go. I have a lot to tell you about."

"So this Order is meant to face Voldemort?" Ron, Hermione and the twins flinched at that, but both Harry and I ignored that.

"Yeah, now it kind of incorporated the Glow, since most of the members of it were in the Order too. And they've only been having the meetings for a few days now, but they last about four hours each. None of us is allowed there, cause we're not old enough to understand and blah blah."

"Not even you? But you're, you know…"

"Yeah, maybe, but I'm still a kid. Besides, it feels good to be kept out of this. Maybe they treat me like I'm half my age, but sometimes, I tend to forget that I'm not an adult, and it's not my job to fix these things. Maybe when I'll be older, yes, but now… Still, I'm the only one who's happy to be left out of this. Fred and George wrote me just a couple of days ago that they'll bomb the kitchen door when they come here. And Ron didn't seem too happy when he arrived here either."

"Well, why didn't any of you say anything about this? We wrote each other for this whole month and there wasn't a word about this."

"Well, we weren't really allowed to say anything about it. The Weasleys arrived here just before we came to get you, Hermione while we were getting back. She didn't know anything about this either, and the twins only knew because they were eavesdropping. So chill, you weren't the only one."

"Ok then. Now that that's settled. What are we going to do about the newspapers? Everyone at school will probably have read all of them when we get back. And you're going to get a lot of questions. And what will we tell everyone?" Fred stopped her pacing, grabbed her arm, and sat her on his knees.

"Calm down, didn't you hear mom? They're gonna think about that."

"And they have Dumbledore, which means…"

"…it's going to be a good plan."

"Yeah, you're right, but Sel, do you have any idea what are they going to do about it?"

"Well, actually, I talked to Dumbledore about it before I came here. They are going to let everone know about me." They all jumped at the same time up, and said "What?!?!", each with various degrees of astonishment on their faces.

"Well, they're not going to tell them everything. Only that I'm Harry's sister and that I didn't live with him this whole time. Now sit down. If there will be any questions from anyone, we'll manage them. It's just, in these past years we slowly started to realize there isn't really a point in hiding it anymore. It's harder to keep the secret than it would be to answer questions."

Half an hour later, we were all at the dinner table.

"So, any new members? Or news at all?"

"We're still recruiting, yes, but no news today. There aren't as many articles now as there were in the beggining."

"Oh, Mrs Weasley?"

"Yes dear?"

"I just remembered that in the drawer in our room there's a creature. Do you think you can help me get rid of it?"

"Sure dear, what is it?"

"Actually, I don't know. I didn't get to see it properly as it was sticking its claws into my face."

"We'll ask Mad-Eye to have a look. I actually meant to ask him to see what is in the drawer of the study as well. I think it's a boggart. But we have to be sure."

"Just please check everything before touching it. My mother was very thorough with curses. That's why I checked the cutlery before eating."

"Ok then. Everyone to sleep. We'll start cleaning tomorrow. This house will shine till the end of the summer."
