"Okay, I'd like to bring this session to a start," Dumbledore said from the top of the table. The Order was in session. "I'd firstly like to welcome Miss Fleur Delacour to her first meeting," he said and there was a small round of applause. Bill squeezed Fleur's hand and kissed the back of it. "As you may be able to see, Miss Delacour is Bill Weasley's partner. She was a Triwizard champion last year and now works as a secretary at Gringotts, using her language skills to work in translation." Fleur beamed and Bill grinned at her.
The meeting itself wasn't the most interesting. Snape gave his usual report on Voldemort. Mundungus Fletcher informed them about goings on in Knockturn Alley. Yet again, Dumbledore discussed Harry and Ginny. Tonks informed them that they had tracked Harry and Ginny to the station in Fort William and they had a theory that they had gone to Edinburgh.
"I propose that whenever we can, we discretely go to Edinburgh and look around for signs of Harry and Ginny. I would suspect that they are close to magical Edinburgh, but I have no basis for that. We need to find them as soon as possible, before Harry does something else that he regrets," Dumbledore implored.
"Sorry, Professor," Fleur began and Bill gave her a confused look. "Do you truly believe zat 'Arry would ever bring 'arm to Geeny? 'Arry is the most kind, most lovely boy I 'ave ever 'ad ze pleasure to meet and I am - ah - I cannot zink of ze word - I am astounded zat you would ever suspect 'im of doing so," Fleur said passionately. Bill stared at her with all the wonder in the world. This was the woman he was going to spend the rest of his life with.
"Hear, hear," Sirius said, raising his glass with a wink at Fleur. Bill gave him a look. "Calm down, Bill, I'm not flirting. I am merely grateful that someone else can see what a wonderful young man my godson is." Bill rolled his eyes at Sirius but agreed with his statement.
Dumbledore sighed. "This is not about Harry. This is about Voldemort. Harry is not strong enough to resist him and it is naive of us to assume that just because Harry is a good person, he would not fall victim to Voldemort's ways. Miss Weasley herself-"
"Was eleven years old when she was possessed by Voldemort," Charlie growled. "She didn't know what she had been given. She was tricked and, even so, managed to fight him for nearly a year-"
"That was a sixteen year old Voldemort-"
"Do you think Harry wouldn't know what was happening straight away? He's been dealing with Voldemort in his head for years," Bill continued.
"Charlie! Bill! I think Professor Dumbledore knows better than either of you," Bill's mother interrupted. Bill rolled his eyes and collapsed back onto his chair, unwilling to argue even more with his mother. It was draining. All he needed to know was that there were people on their side and that they could do something about all this. He met eyes with his brother.
Dumbledore cleared his throat. "Now, in more pressing news, I have decided that it is time that we move Order headquarters. Those of you who fought in the first war will remember that we moved frequently for safety's sake. I feel that it is time to do this now, before the Hogwarts term is over." Bill furrowed his brows. They were under a fidelius charm here, done by Dumbledore himself. How much safer could they be?
"And are you going to follow the same protocol?" Sirius questioned the older man. Bill shot Sirius a look, confused by his question.
"If you mean making everyone forget this house, yes, Sirius, I am. You know that there is a good reason for that," Dumbledore explained and Bill gasped.
"Yes, Bill, no one will know where this house is until I tell them again. No one will know, including Harry and Ginny," Sirius said bitterly.
"Sirius, it's for our safety as much as theirs," Dumbledore said softly. Sirius rolled his eyes and Bill felt the same. From the looks on their faces, Charlie, Bill and Tonks agreed with Sirius too. "Right, I will be giving details to people as soon as I have found a new location. Thank you all," he said before sweeping out of the room.
"Bill, Charlie, can I talk to you for a sec?" Sirius said. Bill and Charlie stood up immediately. Bill kissed Fleur on the cheek and promised to be back in a second.
They went into the war room, unlocking it as they did. Afraid of what Dumbledore would think of their more upfront tactics, the door was constantly locked with alarm spells to alert Sirius, Bill and Charlie when they were breached. Not a bad system if Bill had to say so.
"A few things," Sirius started, leaning back against the desk that had survived Sirius' purge yesterday. "Firstly, Bill, if you want to get Fleur in on this, I think both Charlie and I would be amenable?" Charlie nodded his assent and Bill gave his thanks to both men. "Secondly, with the moving of the Order, I was thinking that I might just move into the house we bought and I was wondering if either of you fancy moving in with me?"
Bill considered it. He was fed up of living with his mother. In Egypt, he'd got used to the freedom of living alone. Living with two men, he thought, would be similar. However, he had to consider his newest consideration: he was going to propose to Fleur.
"I'm going to propose," Bill burst. Sirius and Charlie looked at him in shock, before breaking out into grins.
"Brilliant," Charlie said enthusiastically. "You know we love Fleur."
"I know. So, if it's alright with you, Sirius, I'll move in until we get married."
Sirius nodded with a grin. "Charlie?"
"Awesome," was Charlie's agreement. All three men shared a grin.

"I can't believe you're doing this," Molly said. She'd not been happy since Bill and Charlie had told her that they were moving in with Sirius. Sirius, however, had been very happy. He was very excited about moving in with Bill and Charlie and making plans to find Harry and bring him home.
"Mum, I'm 26," Bill protested, "and Charlie is 25. We've moved out before," he tried to placate her. Molly scoffed.
"That was different! You-Know-Who wasn't at large then! You were safe. Now, you're running off to live with-"
"With who, Molly?" Sirius challenged. His relationship with Molly, already strained, wasn't faring well, especially as she believed Dumbledore's theory that Harry was dangerous.
"With a convicted criminal," Molly stated and Sirius growled.
"Mum!" Charlie and Bill both said at once and Sirius was grateful for their support, but insulted that Molly still thought that of him.
"I'm sorry, Sirius. That was unkind," Molly said, chastised. Sirius nodded once and left the room, returning to the war room and staring at the pictures of Harry and Ginny they'd pinned to the wall.
"Where are you kiddo?" he muttered, touching Harry's picture lightly.

17th May
Harry stirred from his slumber slowly. Finally having slept in his own bed, rather than napping every so often on Ginny's, he thought this might have been the most awake he'd felt in quite a while, since before her accident, which was 18 days ago now.
And how those 18 days had passed. Of course they'd spent a lot of time at the hospital. Even when they'd actually been allowed to come home, they'd had to go back the other day for a check up. Being home though was so much less stressful. Yes, it was a bit scary because the doctors knew exactly how to help. Ginny and Harry, being literally fifteen years old, had absolutely no clue. However, it meant that they weren't lying anymore. He could call her Ginny without any repercussions. It made his life a whole lot easier because he wasn't carefully planning every word he said.
Since they'd come home, Harry had constructed every piece of furniture that IKEA had delivered to them after their trip to the shop. The trip itself had been fun and Harry thought wistfully back to those days when Ginny had been laughing and discovering new things. She'd adored IKEA and he'd promised that he'd take her back. It was his first trip too and he completely understood her fascination with the place.
They'd bought everything to furnish the house and paid for it on their muggle debit card. Beds, storage units, things for the kitchen, a couch set, soft furnishings, everything. Ginny had chosen everything white for her room, with turquoise bed sheets, curtains and cushions. Harry had gone for a dark wood, similar to the colour of the beds at Hogwarts. He'd then chosen red for his bed spread and soft furnishings. Harry had finished off both his and Ginny's rooms first, so that they both had somewhere that they could go.
The room upstairs, which comprised the kitchen, living room and dining room, had taken up the most discussion when they were in IKEA. Of course, for their own rooms, they could have whatever they'd liked, but in the communal area, they wanted to agree on furniture. The sofa they'd agreed on was a three-seater in dark brown and they'd chosen two armchairs in a deep red colour. The coffee table was also a dark brown, almost mahogany, to match the fireplace which had already been installed when they'd arrived.
The dining table matched, as well as the chairs, and they'd bought some bar stools to go along the breakfast bar in the kitchen. They'd bought red and white crockery and all of the accessories in the kitchen were red too. All in all, it was a house made for a Gryffindor.
All of this building things had given him something to do while Ginny was in and out of sleep and unable to do anything. This was the one thing Harry could do for her - give her somewhere in which she could feel safe and happy.
Harry was reluctant to open his eyes, so he squinted around the room, searching for a sign of what time it was. It was light outside, not that that helped him at all, being the middle of May. It was light outside at five am. Sighing, Harry gave himself up to it and pulled himself from his bed. He should probably check on Ginny anyway.
Wiping the sleep from his eyes, Harry stumbled along to Ginny's bedroom and knocked on her door, before opening it. "Gin?" he called, only to find her bed was empty. "Ginny!" he shouted more loudly. She must've gone upstairs.
All thoughts of tiredness wiped from his mind, Harry raced upstairs and into the main room. He found her there, sat on the sofa with a glass of water. "Ginny, what the fuck?" he shouted.
"Harry, please," she begged, "I told you I'm feeling much better and I was thirsty. There was no point waking you up, was there?"
"There was every point, Ginny! You've got several broken ribs and a broken ankle. You could've caused yourself some serious damage," he chastised her, his heart beat slowing down now that he saw she was safe. She gave him a pitying look and he sighed, going to sit down next to her on their sofa.
"Harry," she started carefully after a few moments of silence, "I really do feel better. Wait, don't interrupt me. I can move around on my leg. I don't know why it's happened, but I think my magic might be healing me faster. It's still sore. I mean, it aches like a bitch right now, I won't lie to you, but it doesn't feel as bad as it did anymore."
Harry sighed. It had been something that he'd considered. As a child, his injuries would heal a heck of a lot faster than anybody else's in his class would and, when he'd joined the wizarding world, he'd realised why.
"It's definitely possible," he admitted and Ginny grinned. "Right, I'll go and get your duvet and pillow and you can sit up here today, while you're already up here," he said with a roll of his eyes.
"Thank you," she said and Harry could tell that she was grateful. He supposed being stuck in bed 24/7 must be draining in itself.
By the time Harry returned with Ginny's turquoise bedding, she was fast asleep, clearly having drained herself too much getting up the stairs. Curiously, Harry wondered how long it had taken her. Chuckling, he admired her stubbornness. Trying not to wake her, he covered her with the duvet and tucked the pillow under her head, before placing a kiss on her forehead.

Sirius was packed. Without another thought or wistful goodbye to the place he'd called home for too many years, he apparated away to the cottage Bill and Charlie had purchased at Gringotts. Over the past few days, both men had erected the wards necessary to keep the house safe, including a Fidelius charm with Arthur as the secret keeper, a responsibility he was only too happy to have.
Arriving just outside the house, Sirius admired the fact that the house was in the middle of nowhere so they'd been able to take the wards across the whole property. This meant that Sirius would not be cooped up constantly. He'd be able to go outside and, hopefully, if Bill succeeded in his purchase, to fly.
"Sirius!" Bill called from the door and Sirius grinned. His newfound friendship with the Weasleys was a great comfort to him. As much as he loved Remus, he was away too often and, when he wasn't out on missions, he was too close to Dumbledore.
"Bill, are you all set up?" he asked and Bill nodded happily. "Show me to my room, then!"
The house was old-fashioned but Sirius was ready to sort that out. They were going to gut the basement and turn it into a duelling area, for practise. The laundry room, too, would be put to better use as a potions lab. The rest of the house would stay relatively the same, just with newer furniture and decor. Sirius was very excited to get started.
He chose his room from the four leftover, Bill and Charlie having claimed the other two. Sirius claimed the room with the view of the clearing where they would be setting up a quidditch pitch. This action was in hope for the future of seeing Harry, and Ginny, playing out there.
"Hey, Sirius," Charlie said, popping his head into his room. Sirius gave his roommate a grin. "I nicked some polyjuice from Madeye. You wanna go to Diagon Alley and get some food in?" he offered and Sirius' heart leapt. Going out? Of course he did. He beamed at Charlie and put the rest of his stuff down.
Charlie handed him the potion. "You're gonna be Bill. He's gone to see the wife," Charlie joked and Sirius grinned.
Sirius grimaced at the sight of the potion, however. The few experiences he'd had with polyjuice had not been pleasant. "Well, bottoms up," he said with a fake smile.
"Better you than me, mate," Charlie said and Sirius pulled a face at him, before downing the potion in one. It wasn't an easy job keeping it down and Sirius gagged multiple times. All in all, actually, it wasn't a pleasant experience. It wasn't painful, exactly, as he morphed into Bill, but it was not enjoyable. "That's bloody weird," Charlie said and Sirius tended to agree as he looked at himself in the mirror.
"Right then, shall we be off?" Sirius said, itching to get out of the house and into the real world for the first time in however long. Charlie grinned.
"Meet you in the alleyway next to the Leaky?" he said, before disapparating with a loud crack. Sirius couldn't keep the smile off his face as he too disapparated to the usual apparition spot for Diagon Alley.
The alleyway was dark and dank and yet it seemed to be the loveliest place Sirius had been in years. Freedom. Not truly, not yet, but it was a taste. "We probably should have written a list," Charlie considered as they exited the alleyway.
"Nah, let's buy whatever. My treat," Sirius said with a wink. He looked up at the Leaky in awe. Was he really stood in front of the Leaky? He'd never thought this would happen again. The last time he was here was with James and Remus, and Peter. Sirius almost growled.
"You alright, mate?" Charlie asked and Sirius forced a smile to his face, shrugging it off.
"You say they opened a supermarket?" Sirius questioned and Charlie nodded, directing him through the Leaky to the supermarket which probably opened while Charlie was still at Hogwarts, and Sirius was still in Azkaban.
The supermarket wasn't anywhere near the size of the old supermarket Lily and James shopped at, but it was big enough for their needs. Like a child, Sirius picked up loads and loads of sweets and dumped them into the trolley. Charlie only chuckled at the older man. They then continued to buy healthier foods for their meals. Only when they had a full trolley did they approach the till.
"Ah, go and grab some skimmed milk, would you?" Charlie said with a sigh. "You don't drink anything but," he muttered and Sirius rolled his eyes, walking away from the queue to go and fetch the milk that Bill preferred.
Meandering back to Charlie, Sirius tried to hide his grin. If any of these people in the supermarket knew who he was, there'd be mayhem, chaos. It was quite an odd thought, the power of magic. He wondered if any actual dangerous people were hiding in plain sight.
By the time he got back to the till, Charlie had begun to load the food onto the till. "Brill, cheers," Charlie said when Sirius put the skimmed milk onto the till.
"Are you guys having a party or something?" the till girl teased them as she scanned the food. Charlie was bagging it up into a bag with an undetectable extension charm placed on it. Sirius looked up as Charlie answered. He recognised that voice.
The girl on the till had afro hair, though. Not the sleek black that he remembered. Her eyes, though, shone as brightly as they ever had, as blue as Lily's had been green.
But it couldn't be her. She'd died, surely? She hadn't been seen in years. Her disappearance the day after Harry's first birthday party had led the Marauders to believe that she had been killed. They had looked, of course they had. She was Lily's best friend, but there was no sign of her. Dumbledore had asked his spies for signs and they'd not had any clue.
Eventually, they had given up. Maybe they shouldn't have.
"Zoe," Sirius breathed and she looked up, giving him an odd look.
"How do you know my name?" she hissed at him and Sirius remembered that he was Bill in this situation. Charlie gave Sirius a confused look and Sirius looked around himself, trying to find some reason for his knowing her name.
He sighed. "I can't explain that." She glared at him. "I mean, I can't explain it here. Meet me somewhere?" he pleaded and she scoffed.
"Why the hell would I meet someone I don't know?" Zoe asked him hysterically. Charlie was staring at Sirius in complete and utter befuddlement.
Sirius sighed and thought for a second. How could he prove to her that he was him without saying his name? "You lost your virginity on 6th March 1976," he whispered to her and she drew back, eyes wide. "You didn't even tell your best friend that, did you, Zoe?" Her jaw clenched.
"Meet me in the Leaky at six?" she offered and Sirius shook his head.
"No can do, unfortunately. I'll see you at the Fox and Hound at six," he told her and then began to help Charlie with their food.
"What the fuck was that about?" Charlie asked quietly after they'd left the store. Sirius sighed and told him that he'd explain when they got back to the house.

Ginny moaned softly as she woke up. She winced as she tried to move. Her foot was throbbing, clearly unhappy with the movements she had made earlier. Ginny blinked her eyes open and lifted an arm slowly to wipe away the sleep.
"Morning, sleeping beauty," Harry teased from the kitchen. Ginny rolled her eyes and then sniffed dramatically.
"Can I smell food?" she asked him hopefully and Harry chuckled.
"Yes. Two mins away," he informed her and she grinned happily. She wondered how long she'd been asleep for and wished that they had a clock so that she could find out. It was indeed about two minutes later, though, that Harry brought her food over to her. It was pasta with chicken covered in some sort of spice. Harry had bought a lot of different herbs and spices when they were at the supermarket, confessing to her that he actually didn't mind cooking.
Harry helped Ginny sit up and she gave him a grateful smile as she began to tuck into the food. "How are you feeling?" he asked her between mouthfuls of his own food.
She gave him what she hoped was a decent smile and said, "sore." Harry jumped up immediately and grabbed her pain medication from the kitchen side. Grateful, Ginny swallowed them almost straight away. While she thought her ankle may be on its way, her ribs were nowhere near and all the exercise she'd done that day was catching up with her.
"Ginny," Harry started when they'd both finished with their meals, "I want to apologise. I was a dick the day of your accident. If I'd not left, then you wouldn't have come after me. If I'd actually spoken to you, or come to you, when I saw you, you wouldn't have run across the road and you wouldn't have been part of the accident," he told her morosely.
Ginny sighed and offered Harry her hand, which he took. She squeezed it. "Harry, this was never going to be easy. Yeah, you were a dick the other day and you really upset me, but this whole situation is difficult and I do not blame you a single bit. I was stupid and I ran in front of the car."
"But Ginny-"
"No, Harry. Let's just forget about it. All I want now is that you can teach me how to survive in the muggle world. I need to be able to fit in and be able to work it on my own," she said passionately. She'd been thinking about this since she'd woken up. Harry nodded.
"I'm so sorry, Ginny," he said again.
"I will slap you if you apologise one more time, Potter," Ginny warned and he had the decency to look sheepish.

"So, this woman, you thought she was dead?" Bill asked Sirius and he nodded with a sigh. "When did she disappear?"
"1st August 1981, the day after Harry's birthday party. She'd turned up to that late as it was and she didn't look very well. I never really thought about it because we were so wrapped up in Harry and his party," Sirius said, looking to the ground.
"And she was your…?" Charlie questioned with raised brows. Sirius rolled his eyes.
"She was my friend. She was Lily's best mate." Charlie and Bill continued to stare at Sirius until he gave in. "My friend who I lost my virginity to on 6th March 1976."
"And after that?"
Sirius shrugged. "We never really spoke about it. A week later, she was going out with this guy, Derrick something or other and our relationship hadn't really changed. I got over it quickly too, before you think I was broken-hearted. We were sixteen and in the middle of a war."
Charlie and Bill accepted that answer. "So, do you think she knew who you were?"
Sirius shook his head. "I've no idea, to be honest. I'd assume so. I never even told James that Zoe was my first and she never told Lily, so I think I was the only one who knew."
"Are you scared?" Charlie asked him and Sirius smiled.
"Of Zoe? Nah, she's a big softie is Zoe," he told them with a laugh.

"OW!" Sirius shouted as Zoe slapped him. "What the fuck was that for?" he asked her angrily. She huffed and took her seat, having just arrived at the room that Sirius had rented.
"Being a twat after James and Lily died. Why in the name of hell would you go after Peter like that?" she asked him. Sirius harrumphed.
"Zoe, you know what happened! You know that we swapped secret keepers. You were the only other person who knew. Peter betrayed them!" he told her, unable to believe she was blaming him for his actions.
"Yes, you stupid man, and you had a godson to look after!"
Sirius sighed. "I know that, Zoe, but I'd just had to step over my best friend's body to see whether his wife and son were alive. And Hagrid took Harry away from me. Once Harry was out of my arms what was I going to do? What would you have done?" he challenged her. She remained silent. "Speaking of that, what did you do? Where the fuck have you been?" he said, his voice raising.
Zoe looked at her hands, folded on the table. "Sirius, please calm down," she whispered. "It's going to take me a second to tell this story."
"Come on, Zo, you can tell me anything," he pleaded with her. Her lips didn't move. Knowing her as he did, he knew that she was steadying herself. She hadn't changed much really, Sirius considered. Her dark skin and black hair were the same and she still wore her hair in a bun. Her eyes, dark too, had a few more wrinkles around them, however, and her lips weren't painted the shocking shade of red he was used to. She was still short, of course, and her eyes still narrowed the way they always had when she was angry.
"Okay, Sirius. Don't interrupt me, please," she said quietly and Sirius nodded. He would give her that much. "On 9th July 1981, Lucius Malfoy raped me."
Sirius' world shook. He wanted to storm out of that room and beat Malfoy to a pulp, castrate him with a rusty knife and then cut him open and stick his dick where his heart should be. Instead, he continued to stare at Zoe.
"It was the worst experience of my life. I can't explain the pain to you. He raped me, I don't know how many times. I was kept in his manor overnight, I can tell you that much. It was Severus that got me out, Severus Snape," she added unnecessarily. "I don't know why he did it or how really, but he did. He took me to my flat and left me. I sobbed for days on end.
"On Harry's birthday, in the morning, I went to St Mungo's. They confirmed my pregnancy and I knew it was Malfoy's. There'd been no one else for a long time. I was shell shocked. I wanted to run away from everything, from the war, from the dangers, from my rapist. So, I went to Harry's party," she said, her throat catching in a sob, "and I told him I loved him and I told Lily I loved her. I didn't leave a note. I didn't know what to write.
"I went home and bought a plane ticket, to Peru. It was the furthest place I could think of at the time and it sounded so different from here, which was what I wanted. I gave birth to my daughter on James' birthday. Her name is Luisa Lily Angevin and I love her so much that it hurts. I home schooled her. She's fourteen now.
"I never had any intentions of coming back. I wanted to stay away forever, but I found out about Harry. I never got the wizarding news. I didn't want to be a part of it, except to teach Lu. So, I never knew that James and Lily were dead," her throat caught again. "I never knew that Harry had been sent to live with Petunia. I didn't even know Voldemort had been defeated in the first place, never mind come back.
"I worked in a holiday resort and there were a lot of English tourists there, so we got the English muggle news, you know? Anyway, one day there was a paper there that said that a teenager named Harry Potter had killed someone with snake venom and I knew it wasn't true. Not my beautiful baby Harry. So, I packed my bags and Lu packed hers and here we are," she finished.
Sirius stared at her. "I can't believe it. How long have you been here?"
"Only a few days. That was my first shift at the supermarket," she told him.
"I did think you were slow," he teased her and she laughed, wiping the last of her tears from her face.
"Where is he, Sirius? What's happened to our boy?" she pleaded with him and Sirius began to tell her what had happened, what he thought, what Dumbledore thought.
"We're gonna get him back, Zoe, I promise," he swore to her and Zoe nodded.
"How can I help?"

"Sirius about?" Tonks asked as she entered the kitchen of the new premises of the Order. It was smaller than Grimmauld Place, but, with no permanent residents except Sirius and Remus, it didn't need to be big really. Remus shook his head. "What? Where is he?" she asked in alarm.
"Moved to some house he's bought with Bill and Charlie," Remus informed her with a shrug. Tonks sat down next to Remus and took hold of his hand.
"What's happened, Remus?" Tonks asked him quietly and he sighed, leaning back against his chair.
"I don't know. Sirius doesn't seem to trust me anymore. He's always sneaking around with Bill and Charlie. I know he wants to find Harry but I just don't understand why I can't help," he said rather morosely.
"Remus, have you told Sirius that you don't agree with what Dumbledore is saying?" Tonks asked with raised eyebrows.
"No, I don't want to distance us all from Dumbledore. He needs to still trust us," Remus said and Tonks rolled her eyes.
"No, Remus, come on. You know Harry didn't do it and the more people who tell Dumbledore that, the more he's going to believe it, I hope so anyway. Sirius isn't trusting you because he thinks you're going to take Harry directly to Dumbledore," Tonks told him forcefully.
"I- Dora, Dumbledore has done so much for me-"
"And James and Lily, and Sirius, did more. They were your best friends, so you have to put their son first."
Remus nodded. "You're right. Of course you're right. The next time I see Sirius, I'll apologise and tell him that I want to do everything we can to find Harry, and Ginny."
Tonks nodded with a grin. "Good," she said with a final squeeze of her hand, before pulling her hand away.
Remus clung to it. "You're amazing, you know that?" he told here and she grinned.
"Of course I do," she replied. "You're not bad yourself, Remus," she said quietly. He was staring at her and Tonks wondered whether he'd do it this time. They'd been in the situation so many times before and he'd pulled away rather than kiss her. This time, she wasn't giving him the choice.
She kissed him.
And he kissed her back.
