The next couple days before Harry's hearing went smooth, less tension now. That probably has something to do with the fact that Dumbledore has made himself scarce since that meeting. Molly would definitely set his beard on fire had he stepped anywhere near her children right now. Not that Ana blames her, she feels the same. Ana is just less hotheaded.

Harry has been getting used to having nice clothes and people that love him unconditionally. Everyone can see the change in him. Sirius' episodes are getting less dramatic, as in he's stopped thinking that Harry was James on occasion. Mainly because Harry has changed enough that he doesn't really resemble James anymore. Those charms having been removed were the best thing that has happened as far as Harry is concerned. Not that he would say it, but he looks happier knowing now that he is actually just a good mix between James and Lily.

You can still see the worry in his features every time he remembers what is coming up. Currently it is the day of his hearing. Everyone is up at an ungodly hour, Andromeda showed up last night so that they could leave together. They are leaving soon, Andromeda wanted to be sure so she is making sure that they are there 2 hours before the normal scheduled time. Which will, if they are correct, give them at least an hour to show Harry around the Ministry. Different departments and such.

Even though they hadn't even left yet, Ana could see Hermione worrying her watching parents as she started pacing a hole in the floor. "Miss Granger, Harry will be just fine. If anything, you should worry about who is going to be the Minister to replace him soon."

"It certainly won't be his Undersecretary; she would be out voted even in the Wizengamot. No one likes her," Sirius comments not so quietly.

"It's because she doesn't like kids," Ana whispered to Harry who came to stand next to her.

"Why would that matter?" he asked her.

"Even most pure-bloods understand the unspoken rule that children are not to be harmed," Ana informed him. Though he still had a confused look on his face. "The only reason these stupid pure-bloods are acting the way that they are towards children is because of that brand on their arm. Riddle doesn't care about anyone other than himself, therefore, that strong emotion transfers over the link that he had created with every one of his death eaters."

"That leaves all pure-bloods that aren't on his side or that are neutral, in their right mind when it comes to the children and young-adults of our world." Sirius added on.

Suddenly Andromeda enters the drawing room with Arthur in tow. Arthur wearing a nice brown suit with his black Ministry robes over it and Andromeda wearing one of her pantsuits with an official looking robe over it.

"Well, I suppose it is time to get going now." Ana commented, then looked over at Sirius. "Don't do anything stupid before I get back, if Albus shows up lock yourself in your parents' room. Emergency Floo access is in there."

"I know, I'm the one that told you that. Stop worrying yourself so much darling," Sirius tried easing her nerves. Knowing full well that it probably won't work, but it was worth a shot.

"Yeah, right. I'll get right on that," she said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.

Should this go the way she hopes it does then they will be leaving Britain tonight. Not indefinitely but she feels that Harry and Sirius deserve some time away from the idiocy that's running this country's magical district. She doesn't really have any doubts about the hearing but Sirius being here is the wild card for her. Anything could happen when she is gone now that she has exposed Dumbledore to the Order.

"Alright let's go, I have to make a couple stops in the Ministry before the hearing." Ana said, starting to get impatient and anxious.

Words of luck were exchanged for Harry and Andromeda, though most of them are not nervous like Harry and his friends are. It's like they had a feeling that everything was going to be fine.
