"Iris, wake up, Iris-"
"Merlin I forgot that she slept like a log-"Iris could vaguely hear voices
"Well how the hell are we supposed to wake her, I have a dress fitting and-"
"Ergh let me deal with this" with that Ginny Weasley shoved the dozing raven head on to the floor
"Oww, bloody hell Ginny" she shouted, and glared at the giggling girls
"We should definitely wake her up your way, much faster" Astoria grinned, Iris grabbed her shoe and threw it, both witches managed to dodge the oncoming object
"No don't we've just managed to fix the place up, we don't want dents in the wall already do we?" Ginny laughed
"Get out before I-"
"We'll be waiting downstairs" Ginny grabbed Astoria by her wrist knowing that the Potter temper was infamous, Iris sighed and shook her head, she used the bed to haul herself up onto her feet. Iris glanced at the time and saw that it was nine in the morning, she had ended up going to bed at three, one thing was sure, and Luna knew how to talk.
"IRIS-"
"I'M BLOODY COMING" she shrieked back and looked through her massive wardrobe, with the help of Ginny, Luna and Astoria and their magic, they had fixed up the large house, no longer was it dark, damp and cold looking, Iris had wanted it to look archaic, she had converted one of the parlour rooms into a library and study, Iris had claimed the master bedroom, now it had a four poster bed, with golden trim and maroon curtains it was similar to her Hogwarts dormitory since she had viewed that as her first true home.
Iris decided to wear something that would be easy to take off since she knew there would be a dress fitting today. The raven head opted to wear a cotton sky blue dress; it ended just below her knees. Iris buttoned it up and brushed her raven curls and tied it up into a high pony tail. She ran down the stairs, instead of it being dark she had fixed it with light since the house technically didn't have windows.
"Good morning Iris" Ginny grinned,
"Is it?" Iris asked "I'm so going to get Draco to block my floo network-"
"Then we can't drop by anytime we want" Astoria whined
"That's the point dear" Iris drawled and laughed when the brunette threw a piece of toast at her
"No need to waste food" she scolded the girl
"Alright Iris, so we're heading to Diaggon Alley are you ready to face everyone?" Ginny asked, as Iris poured herself some tea.
The raven head bit her lip "Yeah I am, but I'm just a bit nervous" she admitted
"Don't worry, it'll be fine" Astoria assured her "the Prophet already know about you being back-"
"What? Why?" Iris asked startled
"Draco was floo called me and someone overheard" Astoria admitted "but don't worry"
"How can I not, I haven't even stepped out of this house and I can already tell that they'll be people coming at me already" she sighed "should I just-"
"No Iris you have to face them, come on where's your Gryffindor courage?"
"Must've fell out of me when you shoved me off my bed" Iris grumbled causing Ginny to snort
"By the way mum and dad are mad at you-"
"What?" Iris asked confused
"Mum spent the last year worrying about you" Ginny rolled her eyes "you may not be friends with my git of a brother but you are still part of the family Iris-"
Iris felt a surge of warmth go through her "Really?" she asked
"Duh" Ginny rolled her eyes "so you're in for a big telling off, plus erm…you're coming to dinner tonight"
"Well I can make it to that" Iris grinned nodding she had missed being at the burrow
"Good because everyone will be there-"
"By everyone do you mean-"
"The whole family, Bill, Charlie, Fred and George, I think Fleur is showing up" Ginny nodded to herself
"Are Ron and Hermonie going to be there?" she asked quietly
Ginny licked her lips "Well the thing is when they learnt that you was back erm…they Iris I'm sorry I-"
"No it's fine" Iris smiled at her feeling a lump form in her throat. She got it they didn't want to see her
"It's their loss Iris" Astoria said seriously "You don't need them and if you do see them then so be it Ok?"
Iris chuckled "Ok"
"Good now that we've went through this drama, let's go Madame Bootingful-"
"Bootingful? That's a real name?" Iris snorted
Astoria rolled her eyes "Yes it is, she's impatient and hates people who are late, my appointment is at 10 so we've got ten minutes to get there"
Iris sighed and made sure her cell was in her pocket "wait let me just call someone-"
"Your boyfriend?" Ginny smirked
"Yes ok" Iris smiled shaking her head "muggle technology doesn't work there so…plus you don't know Klaus he'll get annoyed if I don't-"
"Ah the pain of being with a vampire whose also part wolf, very possessive creatures" Astoria commented
"Plus added speed and agility? He must literally exhaust you in the bedroom-"
"Ginny" Iris balked at her
"What? So true" Ginny laughed "in case you haven't realise Iris, I'm not a little girl anymore so-"
"Yeah I can tell, your brothers would literally all have an aneurysm if they hear you talk like that" Iris commented calling Klaus
"Yeah which is why I live with Dean, me and him-"
"Klaus" Iris cut off a laughing Ginny
"Now this is a surprise sweetheart" he drawled "It's usually me who does the calling"
"I know" Iris saw the looks she was getting from the two teen girls and decided to head out into the hall, she shut the door behind her
"I know just wanted you to know that you probably won't be able to reach me for most of the day-"
"What?" he growled, Iris tucked in a stray curl "why?"
"Because I'm going into a magical community, hence human technology won't work there-"
"Fine, so why are you going there anyway?" he asked curious
"Hmm, my friend is getting married, and her dress shop is there-"
"Do you have an escort for this wedding?" Klaus asked, a teasing smirk came on to the raven head's face
"Hmm, well I think I got someone-"
"Oh" she could hear the hard edge in his voice, Iris could resist so carried on "Yep, he is a handsome fellow, lovely golden hair, strong jaw and-"
"Good in bed?"
"Klaus" she pouted "you ruined my fun, you knew who I was-"
"Sweetheart leave the teasing to me" he chuckled "but I will escort you"
"Thank you" she murmured "so what-"
"And I'd do other stuff to you, preferably you being naked and tied-"
"Ok stop" she blushed and shook her head hearing him laugh "I have to go, I'm a bridesmaid, and have to deal with a bridezilla"
"Alright love, see you soon"
"Goodbye Klaus" she smiled and hanged up, putting the phone in the pocket of her dress, she missed him as well as the others, hell she even missed Kol and his perverted comments
Iris sighed and opened the kitchen door
"Ahh" she yelped as two teenage girls fell on her "what the hell- you was eavesdropping on me" she stated accusingly "ergh, please get off of me" she groaned feeling Astoria's elbow digging into her stomach
"It was Ginny's idea"
"Shut up, you're the one who ran to the door to actually do it" the red head grumbled managing to get on to her feet "must say Iris, your Klaus is a dirty guy- those-"
Astoria helped her onto her feet "How do you know what he was saying?" Iris asked
"Magic" both girls said in unison
"He sounds hot by the way" Ginny laughed "Golden hair? And a strong jaw…hmmm does he have brothers?"
"Several" Iris cocked an eyebrow as they stepped back into the kitchen "but trust me you- wait why are you interested? You're with Dean I thought" she said grabbing the bowl of floo powder that was resting on the mantel piece of the fireplace
"I am, and I love him but it's not a crime to look" Ginny grinned
"Oh wait, I have to convert some of my muggle money into to Galleons, Knuts and whatnot-"
"Well hurry up"
"Merlin why did I agree to be her bridesmaid" Iris muttered and jogged out of the room
"I heard that" Astoria shouted
"You was meant to" Iris yelled back, she quickly rummaged through her carry on and pulled out a wad of dollar bills, she had stored it up in Mystic Falls and hid it under the bed, in case of emergency. The raven head shoved it in the pocket and grabbed her jacket and headed back downstairs.
"Ready Iris?" Ginny asked "Remember to speak clearly don't want a repeat of what happened the first time"
"Shut it Gin" Iris chuckled and grabbed a handful of the powder and threw it into the fireplace, the flames burned green, Iris stepped into the flames "remember we need to go to the Leaky Cauldron"
"Leaky Cauldron" she stated clearly and closed her eyes. she felt the familiar sensation of being squished and pulled, Iris squinted through her eyelashes and saw several grates. Iris fell out of the fireplace and landed face first
"Easy there lass, see you haven't got the hang of that yet, don't worry, I don't care much for flooing, kind of impossible-" Iris eyes widened hearing a very familiar voice, giant hands easily helped her up "there ya- Iris?"
"Hagrid?" she whispered seeing the half giant
"Oh my ruddy-Iris-"he laughed joyfully and literally picked her off of the ground and hugged her, Iris wrapped her arms around his thick neck and hugged it, "why'd you leave for?" he uttered and squeezed her even tighter,
"Merlin Hagrid I need to breath-"
"Alright, sorry" he said sheepishly dropping on to the ground, a wide smile was on his face "Iris glad to have ya back I'd miss ya"
"Me too Hagrid-"
"How about I buy ya a drink eh?-"
"Well-"
"Sorry Hagrid" Astoria said from behind her "but we're late already and I have a wedding dress to get fitted for and-"
"How about you come over to the burrow?" Ginny asked, knowing that Iris would probably want to spend time with the half giant
"Great, I'll see ya there" he patted Iris roughly on the back, and sent her flying forwards "oops" once again he helped on to her feet
"It's fine Hagrid" Iris laughed it off,
"Oh crap, here they come" she heard Ginny whispered, Hagrid moved aside and the raven head's eyes widened seeing the number of wizards and witches there
"Iris Potter" there was a brief flash of a camera
"Iris- why have you returned-"
"Why'd you leave-"they crowded around her, the reporters
"Potter is it true your magic-"
"Alright enough, back off you vultures" Hagrid grabbed Iris by the back of her dress and literally lifted her up and shoved past the crowd
"Iris are-"
"Iris is staying here for a while, give the girl some room, it's not as if you haven't seen her before" she heard Ginny shout.
"Whoa" Iris muttered as Hagrid gently placed her on the feet, they were at the backyard of the pub,
"Well you knew there was going to be something" Astoria uttered "they'll get over it"
"Alright Iris? I'll see ya tonight" Hagrid grinned and went back into the pub
"You know Hagrid missed you?" Ginny said quietly whilst Astoria got her wand out and tapped the brinks "a lot of people missed you Iris"
"I didn't know that, I just overwhelmed the press was there, Ron and Hermonie- and then Remus died he had just become a father-"
"Why haven't you seen Teddy yet?" Ginny asked with a frowned "Andie talks to him about you all the time"
"He's only two Gin, he doesn't need to know me-"
"You're his godmother" the red head snapped "Iris you have-"
"No I don't" the raven head snapped back "what kind of life would he have with me? A completely chaotic one, the- Gin I can't take him- he won't be happy after he finds out I'm the reason why they died"
Ginny sighed and shook her head, Astoria waited patiently knowing that the girls needed to talk "Iris it's not your fault that they were murdered, you're the one who didn't kill them understand"
"Gin-"Iris shook her head, the slightly taller girl gripped her chin
"You didn't Iris, Teddy-"
"He'll be at the wedding" Astoria commented "you can meet him there"
Iris bit her lip "Ok" she whispered
"Great now let's get a move on I want to get my perfect dress" she tapped the final brick on the wall, and once again Iris felt that amazing rush, this street was literally brimming with magic, everything was exactly the same, from the stoned cobbled roads, till the small carts selling random items.
"Happy to be back Iris?" Ginny linked her arm with hers, whilst Astoria linked with the raven head other's arm
"Definitely" Iris grinned and stepped through the archway, "First stop Gringotts"
They walked down the street till they stopped at the large white building
"How long did it take them to repair the place?" Iris asked curiously as they climbed up the stairs
"Hmm, not too long, the goblins-"
"Oh crap, are they-"
"Goblins don't hold grudges Iris" Astoria rolled her eyes as the doors opened by themselves, Iris saw that the place had been rebuilt the bank exactly how it was done before hand, "go on hurry up and exchanged your money- we're so going to be late do-"
"You two go, I'll meet you there" the raven head told them
"What? And leave you on your own? No offence Iris but you're a magnet for trouble" Ginny chuckled "I think-"
"Gin, serious? I'm a big girl I'll be fine-"
"No Iris we-"
"Honestly Ginny, listen to the girl" Astoria said "she'll meet us there, it's near the end of the road opposite Olivander ok?"
"Yes, I'll see you there" Iris smiled at them. Ginny reluctantly left.
Iris stepped forward and walked across the room, she licked her lips nervously
"Excuse me?" Iris asked softly
"Name?" the goblin grunted,
"Iris Lily Potter" she answered, and saw that caught the little creature's attention
"Oh Miss Potter, now this is a surprise" he grinned showing his sharp little teeth making her uncomfortable, but she steeled herself "Business?"
"I want to exchange some money-"
"Put it on the scales" he instructed, Iris did as she was told and watched as the gobbling scribbled something down,
She didn't have to wait long for it, "Money has been exchanged, you have approximately 1864 Galleons, and 64 sickles and 9 Knuts" the coins were placed in a pouch, it was enchanted so wasn't weighed down "Anything else Miss Potter?" the goblin asked boredly
"No thank you" she murmured, and left.
Iris exited the bank and walked down the steps, she pushed her way through the crowd and smiled hearing the hooting owls, the witches and warlocks calling out for customers, she passed Flourish and Blotts, and reminded herself to go and visit the store when she wasn't in such a rush. Iris walked further down the street,
"Roll up, roll up-"
"Weasley Wizardly Wheezes brings you-"
"The latest of our-"
"Skiving Snackboxes-"
"Guarantee to get you out of sticky situation"
Iris slowly approached the group gathered around the red head twins, "No longer will you have to attend boring meetings, no longer you have to attend even more boring dinner parties-"
"How sure are you it actually works?" Iris called out from the back
"Who asked that?" she recognised it was Fred calling out, it was much easier to tell who was who now, George had only one ear
"Does it matter?" she yelled again
"Of course it does mate" George said "our Snackboxes are guaranteed to work-"
"Hmm but wasn't there a time when the nougat nosebleed just carry on letting you bleed-"
"Well we perfected our products, come out here and try" Fred said defensively. Iris stepped through the crowd
"Holy mother of merlin's saggy left tit" George gaped eyes wide
"My word" a witch exclaimed "come children"
"No wait he didn't mean that he-"but the crowd had dispersed
"Iris-"
"Potter-"
"Where in-"
"Merlin have-"
"You been?" they finished off each other sentence, looking down at her as if they had seen a ghost
"Still doing that?" she asked
"Whoa hold it girly-
"Before we talk we need to do one thing, right George?"
"Right you are Fred" George grinned, "Group hug" both yelled out in unison, and much to Iris surprised they both hugged her, she giggled and wrapped her arms around them
Once they pulled back, Fred slapped her upside the head,
"Oww Fred" Iris whined, George rolled his eyes and grabbed her hand dragging her into the joke shop
"I think you're lucky just to get away with that" Fred scoffed "George" he looked pointedly at his brother, who rolled his eyes and much to the petite raven head's annoyance he slapped her upside the head
"Really?" she asked smoothing down her hair
"Yes really, dear, you're the one who left out the blue and how did we find out Fred?"
"Well George, dear little Iris thought it be appropriate to stick a scribbled note on the shop door, hmm?" Iris sighed and leant against the wall watching both brothers banter back and forth over her head
"I believe so, it read if I remember-"
"Why try and remember? I got the actual note still" Fred uttered
"Ok, ok, I get it" Iris shouted "I'm sorry I left you in the lurch and I just thought that what, with the Ministry snapping my wand and Ron and Hermonie that everyone here-"
"What? Wouldn't want anything to do with you?" George narrowed his eyes at her; Iris felt a pang in her heart
"Ron's your brother- you- he made his feelings perfectly clear I-"
"He may be are brother love, but Ronnickins was a git" Fred sighed, and saw that her eyes were watery "Iris-"
"I just thought you'd guys want nothing to do with me ok?" she muttered "I'm not like you guys anymore, I can't do magic like you-"
"Iris you're not like us" George said firmly "but you know what that's fine-"
"Hmm, we can't all be extraordinary small beings" Fred grinned, cupping her face and wiped away some of her fallen tears.
Iris smiled and launched herself in Fred's arms and hugged him hard
"Aw Iris, I'm feeling a bit neglected" George mockingly whined, making her laugh
"Come on over here you git we call all have a-"
"Big group hug" they all shouted causing some of the stores customers to jump, Iris laughed and embraced them
"There you are- oh no wonder why you got held up, come on Astoria is doing her nut in"
"And there's baby sis, ruining the moment" George pretended to wipe a tear, they all parted
"Haven't you realised Georgie Gins a ruins everything, it's in her nature-"
"Why I never thought about it like that, but you're right-plus she has the face of one-"
"Thanks a lot you prats, come on Iris, you're going to see them at dinner" Ginny grabbed Iris's hand
"Dear sis turn that frown upside down, and smile more-"
"You'll get wrinkles if you don't-"
"And you got enough already" Fred shouted laughing, Iris couldn't help but laugh at their antics
"Git" Ginny screamed and poked her tongue out, Iris waved at the brothers and giggled as they bowed and blew her a kiss, she pretended to grabbed them and put them in her pocket. Fred pretended to faint
"I'm in love Georgie-"
"No way Freddie I'm in love-"
"No way Geor-"
"Iris is already in love" Ginny yelled shutting them up, she dragged the raven head out of the shop "merlin Iris I forgot to tell you that they expanded their shop-"
"So they got one in Diaggon Alley and in Hogsmeade right?" she asked as they walked down the street
"Yep, ok just tell Astoria you've got attacked or something, otherwise when she finds out you just stopped to have a long chat with the Twins, she'll-" Ginny mimed being crazy
"Gotcha" Iris smiled
"So you believe me?" the red head asked "that you weren't alone as you thought?"
"I'm starting to" Iris said as they turned the corner of a narrowed street "George and Fred were actually kind of mad-"
"Could you blame them? You stuck a note of their shop door and left a sack of money for them to invest" Ginny explained "but let's not get into that, we've got shopping to do"
"Where the hell have you been?" Astoria demanded "You've been gone for thirty minutes well?"
"I'm-I-"
"Iris what-"
"Ginny pushed me down the stairs" the raven head blurted out
"What?" Astoria asked baffled
"Yeah what?" Ginny said through greeted teeth
"Aw you poor girl, come, sit are you hurt" an old lady hurried over grabbing the raven head's hand "you awful, awful child" she scolded Ginny, Iris bit down on her bottom lip trying to keep a straight face
"No-"
"Have you broken your ankle, or are maimed in anyway?" Astoria demanded
"Erm no" Iris replied
"Good now strip" she ordered, Ginny snorted seeing her face "I don't know why you're laughing, you too-"
"Whoa wait, what?" Iris asked jumping on to her feet
"We need to get you fitted for your dress and make sure it looks good-"
"I'm not going to have ugly looking bridesmaid-"
"You know what? I see why Draco got you" Iris muttered causing Ginny to giggle
"On to the stool, come on-"
"Yes dear let's hop-oh my Iris Potter?" the old lady spluttered finally recognising the petite teen "I'm Mrs Bootingful, it's an honour to-"
"Yes, yes, Biddy" Astoria sighed "I told you she was coming here, now can we start?" the brunette ordered
"Right away dear" she led Iris over to one of the foot stools, Iris slipped on her shoes and climbed on to in "your friend is a right bitch" she muttered to her,
Iris laughed loudly
"What?" Astoria demanded
"Nothing, nothing" the raven said hastily
"Biddy called her a bitch didn't she?" Ginny said standing on the foot stool next to her
"Yep" Iris said popping the 'p'
She looked up and saw more of the store workers
"Ok let's start" Biddy grinned and waved her wand. Iris blushed as her clothes vanished leaving her only in a black lace trim bra and matching panties
"Don't worry dear, only us girls" Biddy assured her, and waved her wand over to Ginny, who was much more comfortable then Iris in the current situation
"Ok any colours in mind or perhaps I could show you-"
"I want emerald green and silver-"
"Slytherine colours?" Iris cocked an eyebrow "does this have anything to do with Draco-"she went to cross her arms over her chest but Biddy lightly slapped her arm with her wand
"None of that dear, you got a body to die for" Biddy croaked, Iris shook her head and played with one of her curls
"So style?" Ginny prompted wanted to get this underway
"Strapless A-line, skirt falling to their knees" Astoria told Biddy, the old lady nodded and waved her wand, Iris felt a tingle against the skin and couldn't help but smile seeing the display of magic
"I don't like it, it makes me look fat" Ginny frowned,
"I do-"
"No she's right, I can't have a fat bridesmaid" Astoria shook her head "Hmm, ball-gown-"
Once again Biddy waved her wand
"Hmm- to old fashion, I want them to look sexy but not that much that they take attention away from me-"
"Holy merlin on a cracker we're going to be here for a while" Iris muttered.
Iris was right, they had ended up repeating this process for over three hours Astoria had finally settled on a fish tail dress that had a small train, and it was backless
"Wonderful I get this packed and sent-"
"Send Iris's one to mine" Ginny instructed knowing that the woman wouldn't know where the raven head would live.
Biddy nodded "will do dear"
"Great now let's go I-"
"We're going out for lunch-"
"Where?" Iris asked
"Muggle London, they have good restaurants" Astoria smiled.
"Good" Iris nodded
"So this is a muggle restaurant?" Ginny asked
"Yes Gin, and you've been to one before" Astoria uttered, Iris chuckled and looked down at the menu
"Fine I need some wine" Ginny uttered
"You can't get served Gin, underage remember-"
"Ah, ah, unless you have these" she pulled out three cards from her bag, and passed Iris one, her eyes widened
"Fake ID's?"
"It's vital for the hen night-"Astoria told the raven head
"Hen night-"
"Iris it's a wedding, Draco gets a stag-"
"Yeah but knowing him he'll be at the Manor drinking it up and playing games or whatever-"
"Well he'll do that, and we go clubbing" Ginny grinned and waved over a waiter, Iris shook her head
"Clubbing, I-"
"It'll be fine, I got Neville to drop us off home and Luna's coming-"
"Anyone else?" Iris asked
"Hmm, my sister Daphne, Fleur and-"
"Don't tell me Mrs Malfoy is coming or your mum" Iris uttered as Ginny poured her some wine
"Can you imagine Narcissa in a night club?" Astoria snorted "no, small group" she told her
"Alright" the raven head nodded, just then her cell rang, Iris glanced down and was surprised who was calling her. "Excuse me"
She grabbed her phone and stepped outside of the restaurant
"Damon? What do you want-"
"Are you coming back?" the vampire demanded
"What? Look I-"
"Klaus said you're having fun and-"
"Well he's right, I am, you know why? Because I got actual friends here-"
"No Iris listen- you're in danger you-"
"I don't want to listen to anything you've got say Damon" she hanged up. And leant against the wall, but felt someone watching her, she opened her eyes and saw a brief flash of brown hair but it seemed to have blurred away. She sighed and headed back inside.
"You alright Iris?" Ginny asked seeing the raven head face
"Yes its fine" Iris replied and took a long gulp of wine
"Iris, whenever you say you're fine you're not-"Ginny said
"It's nothing Gin" she assured her "so when's the hen night?" she asked curiously
"Friday night-"
"I thought Draco and Nev-"
"Change of plans" Astoria said sipping her wine "we talked in bed last night well there weren't that much talking if you know what I-"
"Ok stop" Iris blushed shaking her head "I get it you don't need to elaborate-"
"Iris you're so innocent, don't tell me you hadn't done the deed with Klaus, he sounds like a demon in the bed-"
"He is" Iris snorted
"Oh tell" Ginny grinned
"No way that's private-"
"Fine, I would've divulged you" Ginny pouted
"No that won't work" Iris scoffed going back to her lunch, "so what time is dinner?" she asked
"About six, I'll side apperrate with you" the red head uttered, Iris nodded and glanced down at her watch, she wanted to make a quick stop. "Erm well I'll catch you later-"
"Where are you going?" Astoria asked
"I have someone I want to visit" the raven head said mysteriously and placed some cash on the table
"Do you need us to come along?" Ginny asked
"No this is something I got to do on my own" Iris said determinedly and with one last smile she left.
Iris sighed and looked around the place hadn't changed a bit, she walked further down the street, she raised her fist and knocked on the familiar door
"Coming" she heard a woman calling, it was opened revealing a shocked face
"Iris?"
"Mrs Figgs" she smiled "mind if I come in?" she asked
"No, come in dear, come in" the older woman stepped aside and led her into the living room. Iris could smell the stench of cats and had a dusty aroma in the air
The raven head sat down on the worn out couch
"So Iris you've come back, and you came to visit me-"
"You were always trying to be so nice back then, when I was younger so I wanted to check up on you" she smiled at her, Mrs Figgs looked away
"Iris I didn't do much, I-you were being hurt-"
"There was nothing you could do, you made my life somewhat bearable" Iris assured her "so anything happened with the Dursleys?"
"Haven't heard from them for three years dear, not since that summer where you left" Mrs Figgs said
"Oh" Iris bit her lip "right, so what about you any news?"
"Hmm, well I'm a grandmother now"
"That's wonderful" Iris smiled
"It is" Mrs Figgs nodded
"Right, well I should get going, I have a dinner party to get to" Iris smiled and stood up "I'll drop by again later-"she was cut off when the older lady pulled her into a hug
"I'm sorry, if I had any clue what the awful man was doing-"
"Mrs Figgs it's fine, no one found out and I moved on" the raven head told her "Goodbye"
"Goodbye dear, it was nice seeing you" the grey haired lady uttered.
Iris arrived back at Grimmauld place and called for Kreacher
"Mistress Potter what can Kreacher do for you?" he asked
"Nothing dire at the moment, I just thought since I was spending the evening out you could do what you want really?" she offered as they climbed up the stairs
"Kreacher's sole purpose is to serve-"
"Kreacher, trust me do as you wish I want you to" she told him,
"Kreacher must do as Mistress wishes" Kreacher bowed much to her annoyance and with a loud crack he was gone.
"Love that little creep" Iris muttered with a smile on her face, she headed into her large bedroom and slipped off her shoes, she looked through her closet wanting to change out of her clothes, she decided to wear a black dress that had thick straps.
Iris brushed her hair and slipped on a pair of heels, knowing if she was going to the Weasley home, she would need heels as everyone would definitely tower over her. Iris was about to exit the room but dash back remembering her cell.
"Iris?" she heard Ginny call from the basement
"Coming" Iris yelled back and stumbled down the stairs, she caught herself several times on the banister.
Ginny whistled "wow you scrub up well"
"Thanks I think" Iris laughed "so to apperrate we have to go outside, the house still has protection charms on it"
"Yep" Ginny nodded "come on" the red head led the way and walked out of the house, Iris shut the door and heard the familiar creaking sound, she looked over her shoulder and smiled seeing that number 12 had vanish.
Iris and Ginny walked further down the dark street till they to an alley way,
"Ready?" the red head asked
"Yes" Iris grabbed on to her hand and closed her eyes, with a loud crack both girls disappeared.
Iris gasped as they landed, she looked up and the wonky tower like home, the place where she spent some of her most treasured child
"Come on, time to meet the family again" Ginny smiled leading the way, Iris licked her lips nervously and followed after her friend.
AN: Got this chap out sooner than expected, i love you guys for the Feedback about the Pensive, one thing stuck out to me though, several people wanted them to be stuck in a room, I personally want all of them stuck in Dumbedore's office since he has the Pensive, But I want the charcters to walk through the actual chapters of the book, but don't only the vital scenes will be included, and some of my own. The pensive will take place after the wedding (since there'll be some angry confrontations there)
So in this Chap- Iris redecorated the Manor and converted slightly in to the Gryffindor common room, Dress fittings for Astoria's wedding, Fred and George made an appearence, a brief phone call from Damon (but she ignored him) and Iris made a brief pit stop to Mrs Figgs, (she wanted to find the Durselys)
Next Chap (coming soon hopefully)- Iris has a dinner party at the Burrow, but we all know that dinner parties don't go to plan. and Astoria's hen night, which doesn't at all go to plan and we see some familiar faces.
so please REVIEW
