IT DIDN'T TAKE much time for Anastasia to reach Russia, courtesy of LuLu's manipulation skills and Fudge being the idiot he is.

"You're a great manipulator, we'll give you that, Barbie." The future travelers agreed.

"Still a jerk, though." Draco finished.

And well Dumbledore did not agree with this decision but kept his mouth shut after Lucius asked him to.

Why?

Nothing much, Dumbledore had many dirty secrets and a certain Rita Skeeter can spill the beans- Lucius' words not Anastasia's.

Marlene wouldn't know of this, she could never.

"Why?" Marlene asked.

"Somethings are better left unspoken, mumma." Ophiuchus says with a bright smile which could make you blind.

Now Anastasia was standing in front of St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, where Rabastan asked her to be.

The beauty of the place made Anastasia fawn at it but at the same time, she couldn't help but wonder what secrets does this place holds.
She could already feel the magic this place had.
Such sensitive magic, which tingled from her head to the fingertips of her toes.

"You can feel sensitive magic too!?" Remus asked.

"We all can, but we are just too ignorant. Beauty can be found even in the most tiniest things.
Be it, the clouds or the rain droplets, or the thunder. Nothing is ugly, it's only the way we choose to look at it."

Was all Anastasia replied.

Silence.

Then,

"Ooh, my daughter is poetic!" Bellatrix whispered leaving Anastasia amused.

Her inner musings came to an end when she heard a rough voice from behind.

"Anastasia?"

She turned back and when her eyes came in contact with his brown eyes, a huge gasp already made its way through her lips.

This was really him!

Her Uncle Rab!

"Uncle Rabastan!" She gasped and engulfed him in a hug.

"Let me have a good look on ya." He whispered, tears brimming in his eyes but never falling.

They broke their hug and Anastasia's first thought was that she didn't like his beard, she'll ask him to shave it.

"Typical."

"You have grown so much, your parents would be so proud of how much you have achieved." He whispered.

"Will they?" She choked out.

"Of course, we always will be." Bella and Rod hugged Anastasia.

"I don't see why not."

"I missed you, Uncle Rab." She whispered happily.

"Yeah, ditto." He chuckled.

"C'mon let's go. You must have been freezing here." He said as he held her hand.

"I thought I lost you." She said as they continued walking.

"No, Ana. I love you as much as Barbius loves his hair products." He told.

The hall burst out laughing.

Sirius and Ophiuchus rolling on the floor after seeing Lucius' downright offended face.
