Harry held out his hand for Celeste to take. The girl took his hand and got up from the ground, "Thanks."

They arrived on what appeared to be a deserted stretch of the misty moor. There was a pair of tired and grumpy-looking wizards.

Both of them were dressed like muggles, though inexpertly. Celeste noticed the familiar glint in their eyes when they noticed the Black. "Morning Basil," said Mr. Weasley, picking up the boat and handing it to the kilted wizard, who threw it in a box.

"Hello there Arthur," said Basil wearily. "Not on duty eh? It's all right for some...we've been here all night...you'd better get out of the way, we've got a big party coming in from the Black Forest at five fifteen..."

They were soon across the deserted moor and Diggory then promised to meet up later. Aunt Andromeda and Uncle Ted wanted her to stay with Arthur and the kids.

"So how's your summer been?" asked Harry casually like he didn't fall out of the sky.

"Eventful. At first, I didn't feel like I was going to fit in, but Aunt Andy was so nice and she told me all these stories about my family ─ I never thought I would get to do more things in the summer than I did my entire life." Celeste smiled. "Uncle Ted's going to teach me how to drive. How cool is that? I mean I told him about the whole second-year car incident and he was hysteric. Aunt Andy didn't find it funny though."

Harry grinned at her words. His life was awful back at the Dursleys, but at least his friend got the chance to know the family she deserved.

"Oh and the Malfoys..."

"Finally, waiting to hear about this, is it true that they have a garden full of peacocks?" Ron cuts in.

Celeste bursts out laughing, "I don't think so."

"Malfoy Manor was kind of creepy and dark. To be frank it reminded me of the Slytherin common rooms except classy and elegant." Celeste explained.

Hermione shivered, "I can't imagine living there."

"Aunt Narcissa's pretty cool....very misunderstood and Uncle Lucius and I are still mending things. Whenever I look at his face, I see Ginny laying on the stone ground ─"

"─Celeste I'm alive, besides I won't be made if you forgive him. I'm just thankful you and Harry saved my life." Ginny smiled comfortingly.

"Forgive but never forget." Hermione nodded solemnly. Then her eyes twinkled at her Slytherin friend, "So you live by Diggory huh?"
