Through The Veil「 The Veil Trilogy Part Ⅱ 」✔

[21] Head Girl

It was not as interesting to stay at the Orders Headquarters as it had seemed earlier.

We weren't allowed to join any Order meetings and Mum had found out about the Extendable Ears and confiscated those as well. Percy hadn't been around at all and I had received a letter from him saying it would be better if we minimized contact with him.

Things were awful at the Ministry and he couldn't risk to be suspected.

Actually, the Ministry suspected that Dumbledore had joined up powerful witches and wizards in a secret society (which wasn't untrue) but they were still deluded by thinking that society aimed to overthrow Fudge... Honestly, at times I wonder how these people even got put in charge in the first place.

Anyhow, we spent the remaining of our days making Sirius's family home a habitable place which was indeed a difficult task. Hermione had arrived as well so me and Gin started sharing a room with her and since then we were all clearing out the house from doxys and boggarts.

I always left the boggart cleaning to the twins so me and Ginny would often be together, chasing out those nasty doxys that hid away in the dark curtains that hung around the house.

It was extremely dull yet tiring work, to say the very least.

And then we were no longer allowed to listen in on the Order meetings either so we had absolutely no idea what was going on. By then, it almost felt as if we were trapped.

Things got slightly interesting when Harry came to the Headquarters.

Poor boy was so worked up on being left out of the loop that he screamed down on Ron and Hermione just like Walburga Black screamed down on all of us, minus the hurtful insults.

Anyhow, Harry had been updated about the scenario from Ron and Hermione and by then all we knew was that a very important Order meeting was going on downstairs while we couldn't even use Extendable Ears to listen as Mum had enabled a charm over the door.

Ginny checked and told us anything we threw at it would bounce back and out of boredom, she had been throwing dungbombs at the door for almost an hour.

Sometimes, she could be really funny.

Oh and I think I forgot to mention it. Me and the twins were able to use magic as we had turned seventeen. In fact I turned seventeen before them and had plenty of opportunity to tease them about it during the start of the Summer Break.

But from the first of April, they had been using magic too and also apparating everywhere. Oh wait, that's exactly how they got me out of the place where Perce's apartment was located.

Thinking of Percy, things were still sour between him and Dad.

And to top it all off, that night after the Order meeting when Harry demanded to know everything, Sirius and Mum got into an argument.

It was not fun... At all.

But as a result, we were finally let in on what was going on with the Order and it turned out that they had actually formed a resistance against Voldemort and were warning wizards to be on their guard.

Despite the Ministry wrecking everything by their fake news dramas, there were quite some people who had started to believe the Order. And though things were doleful at the moment, there was hope that they would be prepared for when the Dark Lord would strike.

Only Gin hadn't been allowed to listen in on the conversation as Mum had sent her off to bed so soon as the meeting got over, I had intended to go up to her and fill her in on everything.

I guess we had been on tolerable terms lately and I had started to think of her more as a sister as compared to my first year with the Weasleys.

But before I could make my escape, Remus spoke up, "may I have a word with you, Kat?"
