Number 12 Grimmauld Place
Sirius Black's family home, the manor that held his family trauma. The place he ran away from, the place that housed my father him and I years later. The place that Harry and Ginny resided in until recent.The house was originally in my dad's name, but he allowed Harry and Ginny to stay here instead of him or I. They needed to be in the center of London unlike us, our missions didn't require this location.
My dad had to stay closer to the ministry, the order had taken over a loft close by the entrance
I was of course in RomaniaI haven't been here in 5 years, part of me wonders how Harry and Ginny have changed it. The other part of me knows Harry wouldn't have changed a single thing about it. He respected Sirius and loved him like I did, I was left Sirius' old room i mostly wondered if Harry had been in there. I took what I wanted when I was last here, but something about him leaving me his childhood room made my heart sting
I watched Harry tap on the cobblestone ground 3 times until the house appeared. Luckily for us no one was watching, we entered without trouble.
I could feel my tongue raveling and unraveling as I walked inside, a jinx Moody created for those who went inside. The tongue tying charm was placed on the house to keep those who enter from exposing the secrets that were kept here
It's good to see the jinx works even after his death
I know he was worried about Snape exposing us, but in the five years he's been rogue he hasn't
At least not to our knowledgeThe inside was exactly how I remembered, minus the items knocked down in the front hall
When I passed by any I was sure to pick them up, standing them back up right
Hermione noticed and helped me when she saw any"Nothing's changed" I said in a sigh of relief
"We kept everything the same" Harry said
I saw a tinge of pain enter his forehead, he tried avoiding it but even if I didn't notice Hermione did"You aren't still able to get inside his mind are you..?" She asked with concern
"I never learned to shut him out" Harry said focusing on his pain
Ron looked at Hermione, they shared some sort of look that I wish I was involved in"That's not good...I bet Cora can teach you? She learned something similar" she said
"I could try" i sat down at the kitchen table, I looked at the head chair and felt like I could still smell the molding food that was left behind when Sirius was murdered
"No, this is the only way I can figure out these clues" Harry walked off to the bathroom and shut the door behind him
Ron pulled out a spot for Hermione and she relaxed beside me
"Well...think Harry or Ginny left any food behind?" Ron started looking through the cabinets
He found some bread, peanut butter, and jam. He began making 4 identical sandwiches
I saw him cut the crust off of one, I assumed it was his own"You know food can get sparse now that we're on the run, you should consider the crust" i said poking fun of him
He passed it over to me
"If you like the crust so much you can eat it"I did, I ate his crust and my own sandwich
Charlie and I ate fish and whatever vegetables we could find around the area, I couldn't remember the last time I had something so simple
I was glad to eat the extra piecesHarry came back out, no longer clutching his forehead
He ate the sandwich in silence, the three of us watched him waiting to an explanation to what he might have seenAfter ten minutes of silence Ron asked what we were all wondering
"How is the order? Did everyone get out?"A spark of blue flashed through the house, Ron grabbed Hermione and pulled her out of her chair and behind his body
I sat still, watching to see who would risk contacting us
Harry didn't seem phasedFamily is safe, Remus is safe. The only order member who perished was Mad Eye. Bill suffered an attack to his face from Greyback, he's in good spirits about it. Do not contact back, can't risk exposure. Stay safe love you all
A large male bear disappeared as quickly as it came, the voice belonged to Arthur Weasley
"Well never mind I suppose" Ron sat back down with Hermione on his lap"What did you see in your vision?" Hermione asked
"Nothing" Harry wasn't giving us any information, it's either he truly saw nothing or he didn't want to tell us
"I'm glad everyone is safe" I said feeling a bit of relief "but it seems like we are on our own from now on. No more order meetings"
I missed Charlie's upbeat attitude already, Harry was being guarded, Hermione and Ron were too busy with each other. It seems like we all had some work to do to make us a team again. No one was used to working with more than one partner, more specifically we weren't used to working with each otherEven though I feel like nothing has changed for us, everything has. We weren't as close as we used to be, no fault of our own. The last time we were together for an extended time was in school
Hermione wasn't focused on studies anymore, Ron was brave enough to ask Hermione out and marry her. Harry was more guarded than ever, I was emotionless."Harry" I said placing my glass of water down "can you tell us what you saw in your vision?"
"I said it was nothing" he said in an snarky way
I glared at him
"Are we a team?"He raised his eyebrows at me
"Obviously""Then start acting like part of one. Did you kept Ginny out of your visions?"
He was silent
"That's what I thought, like it or not we are all we have now"
"I like being together again" Hermione said
"Me too" Harry said softly
"I missed you guys" Ron added
"I missed you all too...if we want this to work we need to be open and honest with each other from now on" I grabbed for Harry's hand
He squeezed it, then grabbed for Ron's hand and all four of us sat for a moment holding each other's hands"He went to the cafe we were at, saw the dead bodies and raged out. The cafe doesn't exist anymore. That's all I saw"
