Third Person POV

Everyone was on their way to the Grimmuld place. Ember couldn't help but feel hope, that maybe somebody would apparate her to New York.  But inside she knew that she couldn't even ask, with everything going on, it was the least of their worries. 

She was still with Mattheo, but she knew he was angry.  There were so many reasons running through her head, and all of those reasons caused exhaustion and nausea to take over her.  And it was true, Mattheo was beyond pissed.  But not for what you think. 

Blake and the gang arrived at Grimmauld , but Blake couldn't help the awe that circulated through him when he saw the building shift over.  It slid along the ground revealing another house within it. 

When they entered, the warm air immediately hit them and they visibly relaxed. It felt like home, and Blake couldn't help but realize all of the muggle things around.  It felt like his home. 

Everyone went into the kitchen and sat around the table.  They knew a lot more people were going to be arriving so Blaise had Luna sit in his lap and Ginny sat in Harrys.  They created small talk here and there but mostly the awkward silence quieted them all.

Ember had just arrived at Grimmauld and hopped off Mattheo's broom.  Mattheo got off and let the broom fall to the ground so he could properly say goodbye.

"You have to go, don't you?" Ember looked down

Mattheo's finger went under her chin and he placed a soft kiss on her nose "I don't belong here" he spoke softly but when Ember was about to protest he jumped in once again "But I'll be back" he smirked "To have a little chat with you, about what went on today.  Maybe a punishment is in order" he shrugged "we'll have to see"

Ember let her mouth fall open at his words which led to Mattheo planting his lips on hers.  His tongue roaming her mouth, tasting the champagne she had just consumed many hours ago. He nipped at her lip one last time before pulling away and getting on the broom, in the next moment he was gone and Ember returned to the group to enter the house.

When Ember entered, Blake jumped out of his seat and rushed over giving his sister the biggest hug ever.  Blake was so happy she was okay and was very surprised that Draco actually kept to his word. 

Everyone was saying hellos and giving hugs to their close friends they even stood up to give Ember a hug.

"You look exactly like them" Sirius whispered in the hug, when he pulled away he turned to Blake "both of you"

"You know our parents?" Blake asked slightly shocked raising an eyebrow

"We knew them for a year in high school" he smiled softly.  He had decided, and told everyone else that they shouldn't mention Elijah and Arabella were at the Manor.  They don't want Blake and Ember to go on a rampage to help them, and they don't want the kids to worry. 

When everyone took their seats the first question automatically popped out of Embers mouth "So, how did you guys know about our situation?"

Harry chuckled and moved Ginnys hair behind her ear "That would actually be Draco's doing, I'm afraid"

Draco rolled his eyes but started telling Ember anyway.

(Flashback)

Draco had been spying on the Golden Trio the whole afternoon. He stood behind a book shelf pretending to be looking for a specific book.  He was only waiting for the right moment, and that moment happened to be when Neville stopped taking about plants and left.

Finally neville left after Ron disrespectfully told him to go away, and after Ron received a smack on the back of the head from Hermione, Draco advanced to the table.
