As they went down stairs they headed over toward Moody, Fred and George
and as soon as they got over to them Moody immediately put whatever he had
in his hand away. "No, no its ok he's 'one of us'" Fred whispered and
darted his eyes around the room as if he didn't want anyone to here him.
Moody let his hand out again and exposed purple and white tablets. "What are those?" Harry questioned. "There nose bleeders. The purple half makes you nose bleed and the white half makes it stop." George said. "Cool." Harry said and picked one up and started to examine it. "Go on; take more there great if you want to get out of class. Still under some tests but I'm sure it should be fine." Fred finished and Fred George and Moody walked off.
Then the room was filled with light tapping of wine glass made by professor Lupin. He cleared his throat. "Excuse me ladies and gentleman, most of you know what we are celebrating. We're celebrating Ron and Hermione's prefect responsibilities." Lupin stated. Tara and Harry looked at each other. "But we are also here to introduce the newest member of the children of the Order, the newest member of Hogwarts, and finally Sirius's daughter." Lupin finished.
Everyone clapped. Tara ran over to her father and gave him a hug. "Dad I can't wait to go to school." Tara said looking up at Sirius. "Oh? What happened to 'please dad why do I have to go' huh?" Sirius mimicked sarcastically. "Oh please I never said that." She stated.
"So why do you want to go now?" he asked her but she said nothing. All she did was glance over her shoulder at Harry who was talking to Ron and Hermione. "Ah, I see. Well I wouldn't get to close to him if I were you. I love the boy but he does get into a lot of trouble." he said quite seriously. "Dad, I'm a big girl now, when will you ever except that." She said in a very soothing way and walked over toward Harry.
Sirius watched her go off on her own and started to feel empty inside. She was right, she's 15 and can make live her life on her own. "Hello mate." Said a voice from behind him, It was Lupin. 'Oh worried that she'll leave you, well they all grow up some time." Lupin finished and patted Sirius on the back a few time and walked away. "I know....... .I just wish it wasn't so soon." Sirius said and gulped down the last bit of his butterbeer.

The next morning Mrs.Weasley woke everyone up very early so that they can get a head start on their walk and get to the train station on time. As soon as they got dressed they headed out for there mildly long journey "Mum why do have to walk, it's too early." Ron complained sleepily. "Oh Ron it's not that far." Mrs.Weasley protested.
As they walked, Tara and Harry had their own amusement by Sirius.
Sirius was of course in his dog form so no one would see him but he ran circles around them and chased a few cats up old oak trees. Harry and Tara were able get a few laughs out between yawns and the warm morning sun wasn't helping them stay awake at all. Mrs.Weasley that someone might recognize him so she wasn't very comfortable either.
"Which platform?" Tara asked as they reached the train station. "9 ¾." Harry said pointing it out, and they ran over to it only because it was almost eleven-o-clock. As they got over to the platform Harry got a shook of warmth that went through his body that made him feel safe. He remembered his first year when he first met Ron and that's when it hit him how everyone has changed.
Ginny had grown up a lot. Her red hair grew out really long, she has developed most of her figure and now she's about 5'2". Ron hasn't really changed in his face, just grew up a lot. He's now 5'5". Hermione has changed a lot! Her hair was no longer bushy but now slightly wavy, her face has matured and she's grown up to be 5'4". Harry is now 5'6" and his matured. He has some muscle. Tara has long brown hair with blond streaks in it, she has green eyes and she's about 5'5". And Fred and George... Well they haven't changed at all.
As they got on to the platform, they said their good-bye's and Tara hugged Sirius- the black dog- for the final time. "Bye dad" Tara muttered and wiped the single tear from her away. The dog gave a whimper as if to say "don't cry" and she got on the train and watched her dad chase the train down the platform until it disappeared down the dark tunnel.
Moody let his hand out again and exposed purple and white tablets. "What are those?" Harry questioned. "There nose bleeders. The purple half makes you nose bleed and the white half makes it stop." George said. "Cool." Harry said and picked one up and started to examine it. "Go on; take more there great if you want to get out of class. Still under some tests but I'm sure it should be fine."
