A/n: Thank you so much for 41.1k and happy birthday to me lol

The first thing I asked him the next morning was how on earth he managed to accidentally mix vodka with a different flavoured vodka and not know the difference, he claimed that he thought it was strong but didn't think much of it.

Tonks' wedding was beautiful. There was no doubt about that and she was happy so what more could you want.

It had been a few weeks from Dumbledore's funeral and so far the order is still standing. Mad-eye has taken it upon himself to more or less run it which I didn't have that big of a problem with unless he became too bossy at some moments.

At this stage we knew we had to move Harry at some point from the Dursleys, it wasn't safe for him or them to be there anymore.

And that's what today's meeting was about.

"We should move him after his birthday, that way he won't still have the trace on him." Mad-eye declared and I could see the faces of people around us, they disagreed and I waited for someone to say something but no-one spoke up.

"I think we should do it before that. Yes it'll be more risky but they won't expect it, which is why we could move him the night before his birthday, set up some safe houses as well." I rambled on towards the end. Tonks gave me a reassuring smile from across the table, her hand absentmindedly resting on her stomach.

"Yeah I agree." Remus was the first to set off a round of agreements across the board.

"It seems like you're all in agreement, before his birthday it is then. Does anyone have any ideas?" Mad-eye sighed glancing around the group.

"Y/n does." Gracie piped up, I instantly sent her a death glare. It was one thing for me to speak up and disagree with the person more or less running the show but to give out my own ideas made my heart race with anxiety. "What? You do." She muttered before taking a bite out of a slice of an apple.

Unfortunately all heads turned expectantly towards me and I felt Charlie's hand rest on my lower thigh. Taking a deep breath I began talking. "Well I've been thinking a lot about this and because there's the risk of the trace and everything some of us could take a polyjuice potion and fly different routes to different safe houses to then use a time safe portkey to get back to the burrow or something."

Before I knew it, everyone was adding to the plan and it was really coming together. In the end the plan of action was to go to his house at 11:30pm on the 27th of July with a departure time of 12am on July 28th half an hour later. Eight of us were to be disguised as Harry through the polyjuice potion with another eight of us as the 'protectors'.

We were all paired off to decide who would be the fake Harry and luckily I was with Charlie. Tonks and Remus split up, Remus was going with George and Tonks with Ron, I made a point to remember that Hermione was going with Kingsley.

Walking out of Kingsley's house (where the meeting was being held) it got me thinking. I hadn't seen mum or dad in a while but it also reminded me that there was a war going on and it's something I can't expect them to understand.

"Is Hermione staying tonight?" Charlie asked me, noticing my younger sister trailing behind us in a conversation with Ron.

He didn't mind her staying and I knew that, he'd always been really good with making her feel welcome anytime she would like to stay and he knew how much I appreciated it.

"Yeah, I just think she could use not either being at Hogwarts or at home. She was telling me she thinks Jean and David know that something isn't right and apparently they're being a bit 'over-protective'" I explained. His arm found its way around my waist.
