The Weasleys had moved into Sirius Blacks home to help with the order a month into summer. It was odd for Elizabeth, going from never leaving the house to going to school and moving somewhere else for the rest of the summer. Mrs.Weasley wasn't particular excited, knowing the owner of the house would want to talk with Elizabeth, but she couldn't bring herself to prevent what needed to be said.After each kid had been set up, Ron and Elizabeth still sharing a room to conserve some sort of normalcy, while Ginny had a extra bad in her room for Hermione when she arrived. Of course the twins were together, as per usual. Percy didn't even come with them, only saying goodbye to Elizabeth and a nod to the rest before they left for his job at the ministery.
Sirius Black walked up stairs after talking with Molly and Arthur, he knocked on a door and waited for it to be opened.
"Sirius?" Ron questioned confused thinking he was talking to his parents still. Sirius took a breath and spoke "do you mind if I borrow Elizabeth for a moment, your parents and I want to have a chat."
Elizabeth popped her head into frame after hearing her name. Ron moved out of the way as she nodded. They were silent going down the stairs, not even a peep out of Sirius's mothers portrait as they passed it.
"What do they need to talk about?"
"You'll see. I promise it's not bad... I hope."
Once entering the living room Molly and Arthur were on one couch with Sirius taking a seat on the other couch, Elizabeth going next to him with as much distance between them as possible. She didn't know him very well yet, she of course was excited to meet new people just like she had been with school. But the nerves just couldn't be shook. She had a odd feeling about this talk.
"Hey sweets." Molly smiled at her daughter who returned it gleamingly.
"Hi mom... what's this about." Elizabeth questioned, getting to the point before continuing "I mean I love talking with you and all but the mood seems very solemn and I don't understand." The adults looked at each other before Molly huffed seeing the look the two men were giving her, as if they volunteered her.
"You'll always be our daughter, and there's nothing in this world that can change that." Molly started off wanting to make sure she didn't get the repent impression "But we've never exactly told you how you came to us."
Elizabeth was confused, and slightly excited. She always had wanted to know. Yet why now and why with Sirius Black of all people. She nodded anyways.
"Well it was in October 31st, 1981." Molly began and Sirius had tears in his eyes thinking back to the day.
"Your father and you were with James Potter and Lilly Evans, after they had taken you and Harry to go trick or treating together-""I knew Harry as a baby." Elizabeth asked surprised and Molly just nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Yes you did. Your dad brought you to us after you guys were done due to a meeting. But, after all that had happened with Harry's parents, your father went after the rat, who he knew gave away their location in Godrics Hollow." Elizabeth eyes were wide, assuming this meant he died or something. Why else wouldn't he have come back for her.
"It was Peter Pettigrew and he murdered Muggles, and turning into his animagus. A rat. Before fleeing the scene, leaving one person behind to take the fall."
"My father." Elizabeth filled in seeing where it had been going. Sirius looked down at her before quickly looking away to allow Molly to finish.
"Yes. Your father. He was sentenced to life Azkaban for the murders, as well as the belief that he got Lilly and James Potter killed. But that wasn't true."
Elizabeth began piecing it together, she knew Sirius's story, after all her parents had told her that he was in Azkaban and escaped but wasn't guilty. They had to tell them when they began to pack, not wanting to cause any heart attacks or fights when they walked in the door.
"Sirius Black is your biological father."

Weeks Later"But mom, why does Elizabeth get to go to the meeting?"
"Because Dumbledore requested her to be"
Molly wanted to fight it, of course she did in the beginning but she had no choice because her daughter was special. It doesn't matter that her biological father is now able to be in her life, she won't give her up, Elizabeth will only gain family. Molly knew Elizabeth wouldn't be able to bear losing anyone.
"There've been no sightings. No deaths. No proof." Arthur spoke matter-of-factly. No one was ready for the looming threat that was inching forward to them in waves but he just had so many people to lose.
"He almost killed Elizabeth! And Harry multiple times!If that isn't proof enough..." Sirius responded almost offended that the attack wasn't priority. It was, but they were the Order Of The Phoenix, Elizabeth knew that by sitting at this table, her life was on the line for the greater good of not just the wizard of world but the muggle one as well.
But small whispers in the back of her head push her to think otherwise. To think that they want her dead. Her family that is. Why is she the only one allowed down here? Why is-
Before she could continue her rambling she immediately blocked out the thoughts. Elizabeth couldn't believe she thought that, her family loved her.
"Yes, but guarding you-know-what is the most important..." Mad-eye grunted in agreement "We must trust Dumbledore on this."
"Was he able to protect Harry last year?" Sirius question rhetorically because they knew Dumbledore want able to. Their trust overshadowed their doubts. Elizabeth however heard the whispers once again doubting every trusting thought. Elizabeth wanted to say something, anything to push the thoughts away and turn her focus but it was overbearing. Her eyes were confused as she continued to watch Sirius talk.
"Well, tonight I say it's time to take action."
Elizabeth blanked out as she heard the voice of a boy she hadn't seen in what felt like forever.
"Excuse me." The adults wanted to protest as she fled the room but they couldn't stop the young girl from seeing her friend.
"Harry." Ms.Weasley said greeting him first as she smiled warmly at the boy.
"Mrs. Weasley."
"Heavens, you're all right. Bit peaky, but I'm afraid dinner will wait until after the meeting's finished." She had just finished talking as Harry looked past her to see the meeting but was met with the face of Bee. His eyes glowed bright. She only took a few steps forward before they pulled each other into a right hug.
"Been awhile Haz. I've missed you." She whispered the last part as if it was a crime, he only smiled and agreed. Glad she missed him as he missed her.
As the broke apart Molly led him upstairs, lightly shooing Elizabeth back to the meeting as she knew she needed to hear whatever they had to say. Even if it wasn't exactly what a teen should be hearing.
It wasn't just the violence but the debates between Sirius and Molly about Harry jointing the meetings. Molly's fight against it made her think back to the earlier doubtful whispers.
These thoughts didn't feel like her own but she didn't know what was going on. She didn't have much time to mull over it before the meeting was finished and the other teens came in like disappointed children after they were unable to hear more about the meeting much to their dismay.
That was the first night of many where whispers filled her growing mind.
