Theodora's POV

"Harry's been expelled, he got attacked by a dementor," Sirius muttered,

"Interesting," I smirked, but they ignored me.

"We're going to go get him," Moody growled, standing up from the sofa. A couple of other people stood up after him.

"Wonderful, like we need more people in this house," I said, miserably, going upstairs. After five minutes, Draco walked into my room.

"There are too many people in this house."

"I know, I would love to spend time alone with my girlfriend for once." Draco grinned. He had asked me to be his girlfriend after we both snuck downstairs one night after everyone had been sleeping.

"Again the problem with too many people," I muttered, just as Draco took a step closer to my bed. There was a loud crack, and the twins appeared. I jumped, falling off my bed with a loud thud, as Draco jumped, and fell back into the wall.

"These two look suspicious, don't they, George?" Fred said, looking at the two of us suspiciously.

"Very, Fred."

"You two ever learn how to knock?" I groaned, sitting up and rubbing my back.

"No, sorry, it was very difficult." Fred grinned. I rolled my eyes.

"I don't like you very much."

"So, what were you two doing in here?" George asked,

"Talking," Draco answered,

"Hm. Alright, but the others said, we all should come upstairs. Order meeting." Fred said. I rolled my eyes.

"I'm going to go to my room. Come on Dora," Draco said, smiling at me. I signed, standing up.

"Okay,"

"Lovebirds," Fred muttered,

"Five galleons they get together the end of this year," Fred said. George shook his head.

"Already together,"

"Bet." They said, before apparating away.

"HARRY! Ron, he's here, Harry's here! We didn't hear you arrive! Oh, how are you? Are you all right? Have you been furious with us? I bet you have, I know our letters were useless - but we couldn't tell you anything, Dumbledore made us swear we wouldn't, oh, we've got so much to tell you, and you've got things to tell us - the Dementors! When we heard - and that Ministry hearing - it's just outrageous, I've looked it all up, they can't expel you, they just can't, there's provision in the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery for the use of magic in life-threatening situations - "Granger said, after throwing her arms around Potter.

"Let him breathe, Hermione," Ron muttered, closing the door behind him. Then a very white owl landed on Potter's shoulder.

"Hedwig!" Potter grinned. I rolled my eyes, trying to read my book on Draco's bed. Draco and Ron showed Harry their bandaged up hands.

"Oh yeah, sorry I just wanted answers, you know-"

"We wanted to give them to you, mate, Hermione was going spare, she kept saying you'd do something stupid if you were stuck all on your own without news, but Dumbledore made us- "Draco said,

"Swear not to tell me, Hermione told me." Potter signed before his eyes landed on me.

"What is she doing here?"

"Her parents are in the order," Draco explained. I rolled my eyes.

"And she has to stay here," Potter asked, annoyed.

"And you think I want to?" I countered,

"He seemed to think it was best, Dumbledore, I mean," Draco said, trying to distract us.

"Right."

"I think he thought you were safest with the Muggles -" Ron began.

"Yeah? Have any of you been attacked by Dementors this summer?"

"I feel like I'm being attacked living her every day," I commented.

"Well, no-but that's why he's had people from the Order of the Phoenix tailing you all the time- "Draco said,

"Didn't work that well, though, did it? Had to look after myself after all, didn't I?" Potter yelled, I yawned,

"Wake me up for dinner," I muttered, shutting my book, and laying my head on Draco's pillow, not wanting to listen to Potter's moaning.

---

"Ahh!" I yelled as the twins both apparated on Draco's bed.

"STOP DOING THAT!" I yelled, sitting up and swatting their heads.

"Hello, Harry. We thought we heard your dulcet tones." George said, rubbing the back of his head.

"You don't want to bottle up your anger like that, Harry, let it all out. There might be a couple of people fifty miles away who didn't hear you." Fred beamed as I punched my pillow.

"You two passed your Apparation tests, then?" Potter asked grumpily.

"Unfortunately," I muttered under my breath.

"With distinctions." Fred grinned, ignoring me, and holding one of their new extendable ears.

"It would have taken you about thirty seconds longer to walk down the stairs," Ron signed.

"Time is Galleons, little brother. Anyway, Harry, you're interfering with reception. Extendable Ears. We're trying to hear what's going on downstairs." Fred said,

"You want to be careful, if Mum sees one of them again- "Ron said, staring at the ear.

"It's worth the risk, that's a major meeting they're having." The door opened, and Ginny walked in.

"Oh, hello, Harry! I thought I heard your voice. It's no-go with the Extendable Ears, she's gone and put an Imperturbable Charm on the kitchen door." Ron's younger sister said,

"How d'you know?" George asked, looking annoyed.

"Tonks told me how to find out. You just chuck stuff at the door and if it can't make contact, the door's been Imperturbed. I've been flicking Dungbombs at it from the top of the stairs and they just soar away from it, so there's no way the Extendable Ears will be able to get under the gap." Ginny explained, Fred signed, heavily.

"Shame. I really fancied finding out what old Snape's been up to."

"Snape!" Potter yelled, outraged.

The Weasley's and Draco then explained how Snape was a part of the Order, and who else was in the order of Phoenix, how Bill Weasley was know seeing Fleur Delacour, and Percy Weasley leaving the family, and Potter's and Dumbledore's names getting dragged in the mud by the Daily Prophet.

"It's not SPEW! It's the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare. And it's not just me, Dumbledore says we should be kind to Kreacher too." Granger yelled. I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, yeah. C'mon, I'm starving." Ron said, shrugging her off. I walked out first, tip-toeing downstairs, and sneaking into the kitchen first. There was a loud crashing sound. I rolled my eyes.

Tonks again.

"I'm sorry! It's that stupid umbrella stand, that's the second time I've tripped over -"

"Filth! Scum! By-products of dirt and vileness! Half-breeds, mutants, freaks, begone from this place! How dare you befoul the house of my fathers -" I signed, Mrs. Black, had been screaming all month, and I was bound to slice her painted head in half. Sirius stood up from the seat in the kitchen and ran out to the hallway.

"Shut up, you horrible old hag, shut UP!"

"Not again," I groaned, slamming my head on the table.

"Don't do that, Theodora, you'll dent your head," Mum said, pushing my curls away from my face as I looked up at her.

"Mum, couldn't we just live at our Manor? It's highly protected." I said. She sent me a look, telling me to shut up, as the others walked in after happily shutting the curtains.
