Aria: Sorry about the abrupt end, this is not a new chapter. I had to leave for work.
Heather: a.k.a. she had to go to her high school. She's a Freshman. (lay on the compliments)
**************A&D****************
"Let's go. It's time to catch the Portkey. We're to catch it at half past in the abandoned lot on South Fischer Avenue," Draco said, looking at the parchment on the table.
"Moth's going with us. The children always liked her, and she is a good protector."
"Harry's bringing his children? Isn't this assignment dangerous?"
"They're leaving the younger children with Charlie, But Elizabeth and Michael are coming. Dumbledore's set it up so they are part of the security detail. They can use magic out of school."
'Well, as long as it's them. They are responsible.' Draco thought with a relieved sigh. They carried their things to the lot and waited. Soon afterwards, four people Apparated next to them.
"Hello, Aria, Draco," Harry said pleasantly. "Lovely day, wouldn't you agree?"
"Absolutely beautiful," Draco said sarcastically. He was nicer, but he still had an edge.
"Aria, you've met Elizabeth, right?" Ginny asked.
"Yes Ginny. We met last year. How are you Lizzy?"
I'm very well, Ari," said a girl with dark red curls and eyes that were in their summer phase (hjer eyes changed from blue to green throughout the year), a bright vivid pale green.
"And you, Michael? How are you?"
"Just fine, Aria," a boy with black hair and gold eyes muttered, not meeting her gaze. He looked depressed.
"Come now, there has to be something wrong. Your eyes are different, shifty. Tell me, tell me, tell me!"
"Alright. My girlfriend dumped me." Aria looked at him in sympathy. "Don't feel sorry for me, We were going downhill all too fast anyway. I was already in stage 6 when she ended it. Depression. I'll be in stage 7 tomorrow. Finding something to keep me busy."
"Oh, everyone, time to go!!! Touch it, just a finger. There. Three… Two… One…" Harry said.
