Harmonia-Noelle had fallen asleep in the sunshine-warmed bed. Now she woke to a knock on the door. Laying on top the covers in a slightly darkened room. She lifted her head off her pillow of curls slowly.

"Come in" she said in a sleep-slowed voice. Her mother's head peeked into the room. The smell of her perfume filling the room….She'd put on a spray a moment ago.

"Sleepy," she cooed in a sing-songy voice, "It's dinner time. Mrs. Weasley's made quite the feast…."

"M'kay" Harmony replied sleepily. Rubbing her eyes and sitting up slowly.

Miranda walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Beside you have to meet everyone," the mother smiled mischievously, "Mrs. Weasley has a lot of sons you know…."

"Mom!" squeaked Harmonia defiantly, smacking her mother with a pillow. And jumping off the bed. Her mother giggled girlishly.

"I'm just teasing Harmy" said her mother as she stood and held out a hand to her daughter. Harmonia slipped her hand in her mother's soft grip and they walked downstairs together.

Harmonia found her ears assaulted by noise. People shouting, arguing, laughing, dishes clattering and one glass breaking. As they entered the room she could feel eyes on her. The place was quieter now…. Her father wasn't in this room. Mrs. Weasley suddenly bustled over.

"Harmony! Come come, I'll introduce you to everyone. Your mother said hello while you were having your nap." Harmonia-Noelle blushed. Did everyone have to know she'd fallen asleep? She shook the red off her cheeks. It's not a reason to be embarrassed she scolded herself. Mrs. Weasley's hand on her back steered her across the room. She shook hands with a few adults, all smiles and 'I'm-so-happy-to-be-here'. Soon enough she was steered towards a group of kids her age. A large number of them red haired.

"Harmonia, these are a few of my sons, Fred and George, and this is my daughter Ginny, Hermione Granger, another son, Ron and Harry Potter." She smiled and gave a little wave. Sweeping a dark gold curl off her neck she reached forward to shake each hand in turn. Getting to Harry she held her breath. Her father told her all about the Boy Who Lived. And how she'd meet him someday. She would not act like a loser. She shook his hand with a strained smile. She could feel her face changing colors.

"It's alright to breathe around him you know" said a voice from behind her. Harmony gave a little gasp and a jump as the kids all burst out laughing. She turned to see her father behind her smiling a tired smile. "You're just like your mother" he sighed. Harmonia, forgetting she was standing by the boy-who-lived crossed her arms and pouted.

"I am not"

"Yes you are," said one of the twins, Fred?

"Your mom did the same thing earlier" said the other with a smirk

Harmony deflated, dropping her arms….

"She did? Ah my god….." she hung her head letting her curls form a curtain round her face… "…so uncool….."

The group laughed and Harmony straightens up and smiled brightly. Maybe things would be okay here after all. Her father smiled and kissed her quick on the cheek. Harmony wrinkled her nose in the way she always imagined looked very quirky and cute with her light freckles.

"I've a few things I have to discuss with Tonks and Mr. Weasley. Sit with me at dinner?" Remus asked

"Of course" she smiled and turned back to the on looking group as her father left. Raised her right hand she closed her eyes.

"I promise I'm not totally uncool" she said to the group solemnly. They chuckled lightly as she received a sharp poke in the back. She whirled around to see a twisted gnarled old man that look like he'd crawled out of a B-list horror movie.

"So you're the girl eh?" he asked with a raspy voice.

"Um…. I don't know…." She glanced back at the group of kids, "Am I?"

"I think so," quipped one of the twins, "Mum and your Da have been talking about you for weeks." Harmony turned back to the twisted man so the group couldn't see the heat rise to her cheeks. The man raised the walking stick he had prodded her with to hold her chin with it. She complied, letting him examine her face. Finally he drops his walking stick back to the ground and twisted his face into a smile.

"Look more like your mother. Lucky thing." He held out a weathered hand, "Call me Mad-eye Moody"

Harmony giggled and shook his hand "Harmonia Noelle Amor hyphen Lupin" she said with a grin.

Then came the call for the dinner to start. Harmony found a place between her father and one of the Weasley twins. She sat quietly eating her dinner. Listening in on conversations all around the table. In the middle of the meal Ron leaned across the table to look at her beside her brother.

"Do you play any Quidditch Harmony?" he asked.

She wiped her lips and grinned slyly behind her napkin.

"No I don't. I know things that feel better" she giggled as her watched the Weasely boys chock and try to think of what sorts of things…..
