Chapter Seventeen: The Order of the Phoenix

*Y/N's POV*

   I tried all summer to convince my aunt and uncle to let me go to the Burrow for the summer. But they were extremely against it, my Uncle Lucius was hardly ever even home and still disapproved. So, I kept asking and asking my Aunt Narcissa, practically begging, if I'm being honest. Until I finally got her to snap in around the last month of summer, she broke. 

   "Fine Y/N! If you want to go so bad then go!" she shouted. 

   "W-What? Wait, really?" 

   "If you want to go spend time with those insufferable people then go! I'm not your mother so I can't stop you, can I?" 

   I couldn't help but smile at her answer, "But what about Uncle Lucius?" 

   "I'll just tell him you're staying with a friend, besides he won't be home as much because of-" she hesitated, "work. So, I'm sure he'll hardly even notice. I'm sure you can apparate there just fine?" 

   I nodded eagerly, "Yes, Aunt Narcissa," I couldn't fight the urge to hug her, pulling her into a tight embrace. 

   "Yes, yes, you're very welcome. Just stay out of trouble, okay?" 

   I nodded before smiling widely once again and running off to my room. I had no idea why she would let me go with the Weasleys but I wasn't going to question it now. I pulled out a piece of parchment and started writing my letter to Ginny. 

Dear Ginny, 

    Don't show this letter to anyone but your mum and Hermione. I want to surprise everyone else when I get there. I finally convinced my Aunt Narcissa to let me come stay for the remainder of the summer. I should be able to leave as soon as I get your owl back. Wishing you all the best! And remember, don't tell anyone else!

   I gave the letter to the Malfoy's family owl and sent it off to find Ginny. I smiled to myself once again as I began packing my bags to go stay with the Weasleys as well as my things for school, seeing that I'd just go to Platform 9 3/4 with them. As excited as I was, I was still tired of a day of bugging my aunt so I decided it was best to get some sleep and probably wake up to Ginny's letter in the morning. 

   It was nearly dawn when I heard a loud crash on my window, I shot up out of sleep, grabbing my wand by my bedside. I let out a sigh of relief when I realized it was only the Weasley's owl, Errol, "Oh, Errol, you clumsy thing," I yawned as I moved to take the letter out of his mouth, addressed to me from Mrs. Weasley. That was quick. 

Dear Y/N, 

   So good to hear from you, dear! I understand that you instructed Ginny to only tell me and Hermione about the news so you could surprise everyone, how thoughtful. Well, I also know you were looking forward to spending the summer at the Burrow but we've had to relocate for some important business, we'll explain when you get here. The address is 12 Grimmauld Place. Can't wait to see you again, darling! 

~With Love, Mrs. Weasley

   I couldn't resist the small smile that spread on my face, Mrs. Weasley always was a kind woman, even when she found out who my parents were. She said that we cannot be judged by the actions of our parents. I always appreciated her. But it was odd that the Weasleys weren't at the Burrow, I'd never been but I've heard all about it from Hermione, Harry, and of course the twins. I was looking forward to seeing it but getting to see all of them was even better, no matter where we were. I grabbed all of my bags and walked down the stairs to bid my aunt goodbye.

   "I'm off, Aunt Narcissa," I called for her as she sat by the fire, reading. 

   "Goodbye, my dear. I trust you have everything you need."
