Maria opened the door to the Manor, Smiling as Lizzy and Kirmi ran past her, giggling and managing to both call out a quick :"Hi Aunt Mia!" Before running on.
Draco sat chatting with Umehito, Tamaki was fawning over Haruhi as she tried to speak to Hermione, Ron practicaly attached to Hermione. Fred and George and Hikaru and Kaoru plotting some prank that Maria knew she would have to help them with.
Harry was bringing out cake for Hunni and Luna, Luna lounging against Mori. Sirius was across from Mori, Who Teddy seemed to have gained an interest in him, and Mori did surprisingly well at making Teddy Laugh.
Maria's smile fell as she realized Kyoya was not in the mix of people.
"Oh, He'll be here in an hour or so, He had to attend something." Hunni had said simply, As Harry emerged from the other room Followed by a flustered looking Mason holding a tray of tea and coffee.
Maria felt guilty for making it seem as though she didn't appreciate their company and smiled.
"What kind of Cake did Harry Make today, I hope it's good!" Maria sat next to Hunni, smiling Happily.
"I made triple chocolate-"
"Enough said. Let me dig in." Maria said, as everyone who wanted a piece got one, Mason handed her a cup of coffee and he smiled.
Maria raised her eyebrow and reached over to straighten out his shirt a bit. He blushed and looked down, And looked over to her brother, a few feet away, Who wore a grin.
Maria's smile grew into a knowing one, And she clapped Mason on the back. "good for you." she said quietly, His blue eyes lit up slightly as he sat down.
Maria knew the announcement she had to make would be one of the most difficult, She wasn't sure if she'd ever have the courage to stand up and bring everyone's eyes to her.
She smiled as Hunni said something, though Harry seemed to notice the drift in her thoughts quiet clearly, he didn't say anything for her sake.
Maria's thoughts drifted back to the announcement, And she took another sip of her coffee.
'I simply can't say it out loud. I-it must be a wrong conclusion. There is no way that she could ever do that to us.' Maria thought to herself, but she knew she was right, Jones had even somehow known that she had known. He had texted her an hour after she began
She was debating on whether or not to actually tell the others, until Kyoya Walked through the doors and straight to her, reaching out for her hand as if he knew she was having second thoughts about telling them.
"Go on. The have to know." He said softly.
She grabbed his hand and stood, leaning on him for her knees wanted to give out.
"Everyone. I have a very important Announcement. All of you here are very close to each other, I like to think of us as one big family, and most of us think the same way. I am very sorrowful to inform you all that we have lost a member of this family."
A thick silence filled the room and a few gasps were heard.
"All of you here today are A part of the Order of The Phoenix, and as one of The orders leaders I must inform you that we have suffered an unforgivable Betrayal within some of our deepest ranks.
I confronted Ginvera Weasley Today to confirm my suspicions of this Betrayal and she Attacked rather than admitting and I informed her she was to be permanently banned from the premises and she is no longer part of the Ranks of the Order."
"Ginivera Weasleys family and the remaining members of the Order will be informed shortly of this by my Patronus." Maria nodded her head to a Brilliant shining Pegasus that then disappeared to the room.
"I have taken the necessary precautions and re-spelled the wards with my own magical signature and with stronger binds." Maria took a breathe and closed her eyes for a moment, Still leaning on Kyoya and trying to steady herself.
"Now that I have informed you according to regulations of the Order, I want to comfort you as a friend. I Wish This had never happened, and I wish I knew why she hurt us this way, But I honestly don't. I never thought that Ginny would give up our location and join the side of dark magic.
It blindsided even me, and I'm sure it is devastating to us all."
Maria walked toward Draco and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"I wish I knew why she hurt you like this, I really do. I wish I could turn it back, to when you where happy. I'm sorry." He hugged her, beginning to cry.
"I loved her. I can't love another.."
Maria held him at arms length lovingly and brushed a piece of hair out of his eye.
"Promise you'll never swear off love, Because it's waiting for you out there. She wasn't the one, not if she hurt you like this."
Draco nodded and sat down. Lizzie came over and climbed onto her older brother's lap, and Kirmi sat next to him.
"I still Love you big brother." Lizzie said, her eyes wide.
"Yeah. And You're one of my best Friends in the whole world!" Kirmi said, And Lizzie nodded in agreement.
Draco smiled, patting them both in their heads.
"Thanks guys." Draco said, and Lizzie smiled.
Maria smiled slightly, but it quickly disappeared.
Kyoya grabbed her hand and squeezed it tightly, leaning over to whisper in her ear. "Mason and Harry are getting along well."
Maria smirked. "Very well, indeed."
Mason was huddled next to Harry, his head pressed into his shoulder.
"Aunt Mia?" Lizzie asked, Kirmi next to her and both of them smiling.
"Why, What do my Two little nieces want?" Maria teased, and both giggled.
"Can we have a movie night tonight?"
"Oh, I don't see why not, You go and ask everyone if they want to stay, and then you can ask Draco to take you guys to the store and pick out the movies, all right?" Both nodded, and she smiled.
That night, Maria Harry and Mason moved all the furniture in the living room (The rather large living room) to the side, Then set up a projector to aim at a wall. Kirmi and Lizzie gathered every blanket and pillow in the house, (With the aid of Maria transfiguring the couch cushions into Extra large, Extra fluffy and soft blankets to use as beds.
Everyone had fallen asleep an hour into the second movie.
Maria leaning onto Kyoya who had his arm around her, Her hand next to Harry's.
Harry had Mason on the other side of him, clinging to him.
Sirius and Remus had teddy splayed across them both, Remus still holding his book.
Luna was on one side of Mori, her arm over him and Hunni was on the other side, was using Mori and Luna's arm as a pillow, clutching Bun-Bun in one arm.
Hermione was squished between Draco and Ron, a bowl of half eaten popcorn in her lap.
Fred and George were splayed across each other with parchment scattered around them. Hikaru and Kaoru were leaning against each other.
One the other side of Draco, Lizzie and Kirmi Splayed across him and Umheito.
Tamaki and Haruhi were next to each other, an empty bowl between them.
Maria woke up once, turning the projector off with the flick of a wrist, she glanced around and smiled.
They had a while before the second war would go into full swing, she knew, and she'd make sure they all enjoyed it while they can.
