The Lost Potter-Draco Malfoy

Chapter 36 ✔️

Charlotte-

We arrived at 12 Grimmluad Place that same night. Sirius quietly led up into the house, warning us to keep quiet or the evil portrait of his mother was awake or asleep. Once we got into the kitchen, we could finally talk at a normal tone. 

"Harry, Charlotte. It's lovely to see you two." Mrs. Weasley said, she brought us into one of her bear hugs. "Are you two hungry from your trip? I'm afraid that you two will have to wait for dinner."

"Why?" Harry asked. Mrs. Weasley looked over our shoulders, and frowned. 

"He's just arrived. The meeting has started." She told us, she patted us on the arms, before walking to the living room. Harry tried to follow but Mum grabbed his arm before he could leave the kitchen. 

"Harry, the meeting is for order members only."

"What?"

"Ron and Hermione are upstairs. You two can go upstairs and wait for dinner with them." 

"Be very quiet when you go up the stairs." Mum warned us, shooing us out of the kitchen. We tiptoed up, poking our heads in any empty room until we found them. 

"HARRY! CHARLOTTE! Ron! They're here! We didn't hear you arrive! Oh, how are you? Are you all right? Have you been furious with us? I bet you have, I know our letters were useless - but we couldn't tell you anything, Dumbledore made us swear we wouldn't, oh, we've got so much to tell you, and you've got things to tell us - the Dementors! When we heard - and that Ministry hearing - it's just outrageous, I've looked it all up, they can't expel you, they just can't, there's provision in the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery for the use of magic in life-threatening situations." Hermione barley had time to breathe before she was on us.

"Let them breathe Hermione." Ron laughed. Hermione let us go, as Hedwig flew to Harry's shoulder.

Hermione and Ron apologized repeatedly for not sending letters explaining everything to us, making Harry snap and yell at them. His yelling was so loud that Fred and George, who were in the next room, trying to listen to the order meeting, couldn't hear anything. They apparated right next to Hermione and me, making me jump out of my skin. 

"Stop doing that!" Hermione shouted at them.

"Hello, Harry, Charlotte. We thought we heard your dulcet tones, Harry." George said, ignoring Hermione.

"You don't want to bottle up your anger like that, Harry, let it all out. There might be a couple of people fifty miles away who didn't hear you." Fred said, beaming.

"You two passed your Apparation tests, then?" Harry said,

"With distinction," Fred smirked, as he held an extendable ear that Harry was looking at.

"It would have taken you about thirty seconds longer to walk down the stairs," Ron said, rolling his eyes.

"Time is Galleons, little brother. Anyway, Harry, you're interfering with reception. Extendable Ear. We're trying to hear what's going on downstairs." Fred explained.

"Along with talking about downstairs," George said, as he turned and smirked at me. I raised one eyebrow at him. 

"What are you talking about, George?"

"You don't want to tell us something, Charlotte?" Fred asked, I crossed my arms over my chest, and frowned. 

"Huh?"

"We mean like your past, and the future, and how you know everything that's going to happen when it happens, etc," George said, my mouth fell open, into a little, 'o' as I stared at them.
