At dinner that night

Harry walked to the dining room, and he could sense the tension before he entered the room. He tentatively entered the room, and sat next to Ciara. He looked around the faces at the table, Minerva was looking grave, and Albus was looking extremely pained to keep the conversation going. Daniel (Ciara's boyfriend's name Harry had found out) was looking lively, and Ciara was trying to keep the mood positive.

"So…" said Albus, "What is your occupation Dan?"

Daniel turned and looked at Albus as if he was a madman. "Career?" he said in his haughty voice, "Why do you suppose I should have one? Does everyone need a career?"

Minerva and Albus exchanged a glance

The Next Morning

Harry woke up the next morning with a sense of foreboding; he wouldn't be surprised if they left today after what had happened after dinner last night. Dan had tried to get Albus and Minerva to talk about the Order of the Phoenix to him, but had not succeeded. He had actually thought that they were being unfair to him, and had misjudged him, because Albus and Minerva didn't want to let their youngest child go…until he saw Dan spike Albus' drink with Veritaserum, Albus noticed of course and didn't drink it.

He heard a knock on his door, who would wake him this early? "Come in!" He said.

Ciara walked into his room gracefully, and sat down on the end of his bed. "Oh, hi…" He said, at the same time pulling his bed covers over himself properly.

"Hi nephew!" She said. "Harry, can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead." Was the reluctant answer.

"Can you tell me in my mum and dad are trying to do anything to Dan? I know that he doesn't seem the most likable person, but didn't someone once say that love was blind? I can't help who I love Harry!"

Harry looked up at her half angry, half afraid. "You just asked me to do that, didn't you see him put Veritaserum into Albus' drink? You can still love him after that?" Harry had got to the point of shouting now. "You are such a traitor to your family and their cause! Were you a Slytherin when you were younger, because you have all of their backstabbing qualities!"

Ciara sat back and glared at Harry. "How dare you! You think that you can just come here and make allegations like that! You know nothing of my past! You insolent boy!" With that she strode out of the room, slamming the door behind her. Harry hoped that his grandparents would decide to go now, he didn't fancy staying any longer with her.

He heard loud voices in the corridor, and footsteps coming towards his room. Minerva burst into the room. "Harry what did she ask you to do? Don't worry about telling me, we're leaving today anyway, so she won't annoy you."
Harry sighed with relief. "She asked me to tell her if you were trying to do anything about Dan. I said she was a backstabber and I called her a Slytherin. She went mad at me, and then walked out of the room."

Minerva looked at Harry sympathetically. "Don't worry the whole situation is under control, Albus is sorting everything so that we can get a portkey back. We're going to have a family meeting once we're back, and we'll decide what to do."
