"Mum!" Samantha called in from outside her home. "Dad! Let us in!"
Her mother opened the door and called out, "What's the name of the family owl we had when you were a child?"
"Hazel!" Samantha responded.
"Get inside. Immediately." Her mother insisted waving them both in.
She and Lee explained what happened as they drank a bit of tea to calm their nerves. Samantha was still shaking as she explained she saw Jack.
"You are sure it was Jack?" Her mum asked.
Samantha nodded. "Trust me, I didn't want to believe it either."
Her father nodded, "It's what we feared."
Her parents asked Lee to stay the night, seeing as it may not be safe to travel immediately. He stayed on the sofa, not that anyone really found themselves with restful sleep.
Samantha's dreams were plagued with fireballs and scars that crept up her neck and onto her face. She awoke with a start the next morning to the sounds of tapping on her window.
It was Whisp with two letters in her beak, one of which seemed to be her Hogwarts letter.
Dear Ms Fyre,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for your Seventh Year Of Education. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Attendance at Hogwarts is now mandatory for all students.
All Students will be screened for Blood Status.
Term begins on September 1st, 1997.
"Mum!" Samantha called before running through the house in her pajamas.
Her mother was sitting at the dining room table with Lee, both sharing a cup of coffee. Her mother looked at the letter in shock.
"Mandatory!" Her mother read the word aloud. "So they're taking away the choice?"
"And they are doing blood status screenings." Samantha continued as Samantha's mum passed the letter to Lee. "They could ask questions, about dad and you."
Her mother nodded. "If you don't go, they will come for us. If you do go, they will also come for us."
Samantha began shaking, Lee took Samantha's hand.
Her mother looked up to Lee, "How safe is this place you two plan to go to?"
"Very." Lee insisted. "Do you know Kingsley Shacklebolt?"
"He's the best Auror in the Ministry." Her mother replied. "He protects the Muggle Prime Minister."
"He's a member of the Order and he personally has helped me place every manor of enchantment on the place. He is hoping to help with the show." Lee admitted.
"Wait, Kingsley Shacklebolt?" Samantha asked with her mouth gaping, "How'd you get him to help?"
"The twins know him pretty well. When I met him, I confided in him and he really liked the idea." Lee explained. "Myself, the twins and Kingsley are the only ones who know the location. We've chosen not to tell our families or anyone else in the Order. Electra even asked not to know and she's helped fund this whole thing."
Her mother looked deep in thought, her eyes shifted to the paper then back to Samantha and Lee. "How soon could she come stay with you?"
"Immediately if needed." Lee breathed out.
