"What's this?" George asked, looking at the liquid, which was a magenta color on the top, fading into a light pink tint, in his glass. "Not poison, is it?"

"If it were poison, I wouldn't have given it to you," Cassie said, glancing at Enasni.

"This right here," Zach began. "This is Cassie's famous... " He paused, thinking. "You know, you never did make a name for it," he finished.

"This is... La Rose Ambrée," Cassie introduced in French. "Rose Amber."

Fred took a drink first. The others followed after. Cassie smiled, watching their surprised faces. Ginny had smiled wide, Mr. Weasley took another drink, Bill nodded, then Angelina had given a light chuckle saying, "Wow, this is really good."

"Thanks," Cassie smiled.

"You must have lived alone in the states," Mrs. Weasley began. "Do you cook for yourself?"

"Just simple things sometimes," Cassie answered. "Work at MACUSA had been hectic so we usually order take out."

"We?" Ginny questioned, glancing at her brother.

"Zach comes over now and then," Cassie replied. "You know, he was my first friend so I was able to get adjusted to the place pretty quickly." Cassie saw Hermione from the window. "Um, excuse me. I'll bring out the stew."

Cassie left the table and went inside. She helped Hermione with the pot and bowls and came back to everyone else.

"Here we are," said Hermione as she began distributing the stew.

She first gave one to Enasni, then Cassie brought the stew to the others. Once everyone was served, Cassie sat down beside Zach.

Cassie waited and waited for Enasni to show her bad qualities. It wasn't until Potter had been talking about the Death Eaters that she spoke up.

"Talking about Death Eaters, just wondering," Enasni began, sitting up straighter. "How is it that your worst enemy, former Death Eater, is sitting here at this very table?"

"She saved my life," said Fred, looking at Cassie. "She changed in the end."

Enasni nodded as if amused. "People can change, don't they?"

"Only the ones influenced by the right people," Cassie said. "And for your information, I'm no Death Eater."

"May not have had the mark, but you worked for them, you killed for them," Enasni said, leaning back. "I wonder, if you could have saved Fred, you could have saved others — Albus Dumbledore, that half-breed Lupin, Tonks... Snape." Enasni chuckled seeing Cassie tense up. "Snape... Harry, you had seen Cassie outside the boathouse, isn't that right? She just left him there, bleeding out.

"Do you know this is your fault? Then again, can't blame how your parents raised you," she said.

"And how were you raised?" Cassie asked. "You said you were a pureblood. And by the way, even my parents never called anyone a half-breed."

Enasni shifted in her seat. "Sorry. Old habits, I'm sure you can understand. Didn't you go around calling people Mudbloods?"

Zach leaned closer to Cassie so only she could hear and said, "Did you do something?"

"Hermione made a potion," Cassie said quickly.

"Elizabeth," Hermione began. "Out of curiosity, have you heard of Dolores Umbridge?"

"'Course I have," Enasni said. "Honestly, I think what she was trying to enforce was great."

"She abused students," Hermione told her.
