Hermione was already seventeen, but Neville's seventeenth birthday was not until late July, and Jane's seventeenth birthday was not until late October. Despite this, Order of the Phoenix member, Percy Weasley, was able to get the trance off of each of them before the school year had even ended.
Augusta was at the safe house, with Jane and Hermione's families. Jane, Hermione, and Neville arrived, from Hogwarts, via flu power.
Jane's family and Hermione's family were going to be hidden by the Order. Augusta watched as they hugged their family members goodbye. She felt bad seeing Jane with her mother.
Jasmine handed Jane a box. "There are people looking down on you, who might be able to help, and it might help to have these along."
Jasmine was pretty easy to convince, when it came to things in the Wizarding World, being an outsider to it. Yet, even though it had seemed to work, it had not seemed like Jasmine had really believed her when she said she would never let anything happen to Jane. At least she had let Jane come anyway.
It must be hard to allow her to come. Xenophilius was a wizard himself, and he hadn't allowed Luna to come.
Jasmine was not wearing her engagement ring, and Augusta knew why. Jasmine felt that when she is going to be helping to take down a dark lord, Jane had too much on her mind to be concerned about small things, so she wasn't going to tell her until the Horcrux hunt was over. This made sense, but it still seemed a bit sad.
Once they were gone, Jane set the box on a table and opened it to find two metal canisters. One of them said Daddy on it and the other one said Grandpa on it. She opened one, and it was full of ashes.
