Saiph

Sanctuary

Walking into the burrow, I was ambushed in a traditional Molly Weasley hug. Ron and Hermione were huddled discussing something secretively, while Arthur pulled Charlie and I into the kitchen. Ginny was helping Molly make tea and Arthur discussed some recent news with us.

Fudge stepped down, Amelia Bones and Emmaline Vance's bodies were discovered, Death Eaters had destroyed land in Somerset, and word from Dumbeldore had arrived that Harry was to be moved to the burrow by himself.

"Dumbeldore also advised us of one more thing." Arthur says, looking to Molly who pulled Ginny into the other room.

Detecting the secrecy needed, I casted a silencing spell and felt Charlie reach for my hand.

"Dumbeldore wants the two of you in Romania, tonight. I've argued and gotten you until tomorrow, but Bellatrix Lestrange might suspect you are here. I leave the choice to the two of you." Arthur says.

I nod. "I think it may be best if we go tonight. Normally I would disagree, but if they come here, it may be more than me they come after."

"Isn't Harry coming to stay?" Charlie questions.

"He is, yes. We have been discussing with Sirius. He will be taken to Grimmauld Place, for his safety." Arthur explains.

"Well, love.. they weren't expecting us, just yet. We can go if you really want to get started."

"What if we stop in France briefly for my mothers address. We pop in and out and right to Romania?" I question. I had to go there before Romania for sure. They're had to be something.

"I'll ask Dumbeldore. He may be able to assist you." Arthur suggests.

Shaking my head, I lean in closer as if anyone could hear. "I want Snape to come."

"Siaph, he's quite busy these days." Charlie tells me. Nodding, I understood what he meant. With the shift in government, surely Voldemort would be placing more tasks not just upon him, but on Draco as well.

"I don't want to get your hopes up, but if you're quick we should be able to go." Charlie said squeezing my hand.

Just as quickly as it got sent out, a letter followed shortly after. Dumbeldore advised going to Romania as soon as possible, saying he'd come for me in a few weeks time. If he hadn't reached me in the month, I was to find Sirius and go to the home. I found the terms to be mutually satisfying and didn't argue it further. Things were becoming more tense, I knew that.

Hermione explained to me that Draco and her would be corresponding as much as possible, using discretion. She feared he was to take the Dark Mark, as did he in sight for his father's recent failure. Assuring me, he was still on our side and under the watchful eye of Snape, I wouldn't question her judgement.

Saying our goodbyes, Charlie apparated us to an Apparation spot in a small village in Romania. Night had fallen upon us and the village was a shimmer of lights. It was calm and quiet, but looked to be filled with shops. To best describe, it reminded me of Hogesmade.

"We're going to be walking a bit, but the night sky is brilliant." Charlie says leading me down the Cobblestone road.

"Is this a muggle village?" I ask looking around. The shops not indicating anything other than what I assumed to be surnames.

"This portion, yeah. There's a wizarding community you can access by going into one of the homes here. It opens up the village a bit." Charlie explains. I nod, figuring it was near the Apparation point.

"Dad and Mum will be sending our things." Charlie tells me after a calming silence had taken over.

"Charlie, Ican't believe I didn't think of this before, but where do you live here?" I ask turning my head to him.
