The library at Grimmauld Place was ginormous. Thousands and thousands of books lined the shelves, all of them covered in dust. Devore ran her fingers along the spines and she pulled them off the shelf, observing the covers and reading the first chapters. Hermione taught her everything about Muggle life and because of her, she took Muggle Studies her third year and learned all about what they learned in American schools and the books they read.
She grabbed a copy of Dangerous Liaisons from the shelf and admired the old cover. Devore dusted it off and tucked it under her arm, leaving the dark library to go read in her room.
Seeing Mad-Eye Moody again made Devore feel uncomfortable as she was just now getting over the fact that he was once Barty Crouch Jr. More people apart of the Order of the Phoenix showed up to headquarters, including Nymphadora Tonks, whom Devore learned a long time ago was the daughter of Andromeda Black, Kingsley Shacklebolt, and Professor Snape, which was an eye roll in itself.
On the day that Hermione was arriving at headquarters, Devore ran out of her room and leaned over the stairwell, seeing Hermione standing in the hall with her bags. "Mione!" She shrieked with happiness.
"Dev!" Hermione matched her tone and hugged her when she came down the stairs.
"Oh my gosh, I've missed you so much! How was your summer?"
"It was wonderful! My parents and I took a trip to Florida."
They began walking up the stairs. "What's there?"
"It's super sunny and hot but it's so beautiful. The water is so blue and the food is amazing."
Devore smiled. "That sounds like a dream."
When they entered the room, Ginny sat up and gasped. "Hermione."
"Ginny!" Hermione squealed and they hugged each other.
Ron peaked his head into the open door. "Is it safe?" He questioned.
"No, we're plotting to kill you in your sleep. Sleep with one eye open." Said Devore with narrow eyes.
The girls giggled while he mocked her. Ginny left the room and let the three of them talk. Devore helped Hermione put her things on her bed. "Does anyone know when Harry's be here? Or if he plans to at all?"
"Pretty soon is what dad told me. They sent Mad-Eye and a few others to get him from the Dursley's." Ron told them, emphasizing the name with disgust.
Devore scoffed. "Ugh, if he comes here looking any skinnier than he already is I'm going to hex those people!"
The three of them sat on her bed. "Do you think he's going to be mad at us?" Asked Hermione, feeling worried.
