During the train ride home I was in a compartment alone, I don't think Harry wants to talk to me. I pulled out a book and started to read. After awhile, the door opened, it was May. Great. "Go away." I told her.
She closed the door and leaned against it. "Is little Ember mad?"
I glared at her, "you lied to me."
"You lied to all of your friends." May said, "you became one of us and you kept it from the people you oh so care for."
"I lied to protect them." I said.
"You lied because you're a coward." She laughed. "But now they know. Harry hates you."
"No he doesn't." I growled. "I'm not like you. I may have the mark on my arm, but that does not make me a cold heartless killer like you."
She laughed coldly, "honey. You're Voldemort's daughter. Darkness runs through your veins. You can try to deny it as much as you want, but you're just as dark as I am."
"No I'm not." I said firmly. "I didn't turn my back on my friends and torture them."
"Oh but you will." She smirked and left my compartment. I glared at the door and went back to my book. You know what May? You can go fuck yourself. I am nothing like them.
I looked back at the door and saw Draco, he was about to open the door, but I shook my head. He looked at me sadly then walked away. I don't think him coming in here will help me. Luna went into my compartment and sat across from me. "I thought you needed someone to be with you." She said.
I smiled at her, "you're unfairly kind, Luna."
"You look like you need to talk. I can tell by your eyes," she studied my face. "you have a lot going through your head."
I sighed, "it's nothing. I don't feel like losing another friend."
"I am your friend, November." Luna said. "True friends stay with you even when you're at your worst."
I looked at her, "you've been an amazing friend. You helped me when I was raped. When I had Harmony."
"I will help you now." Luna said. "Tell me."
I sighed and rolled my sleeve up. "Dumbledore asked me to become one and get as much information from you know as I can." I pulled my sleeve back down. "I did it to help the Order and to protect everyone I care about. Harry knows and I'm pretty sure he hates me."
"Harry doesn't hate you." Luna said.
I scoffed, "really? He doesn't seem to like me much anymore. I wouldn't blame him. I hate me too."
"I don't hate you." Luna smiled at me. "These are dark times and we will do whatever it takes to protect those we love."
I smiled back at her. "You're amazing, Luna."
"You're one of my best friends." She told me. "I know you'll do what is right."
Once we got to Platform 9 3/4, I got off the train and pulled my stuff to the side. I saw Remus, Tonks, Harmony, Madeye, and the Weasleys. I walked over and George pulled me into a hug. "How you holding up?" He asked.
I pulled away and gave Fred a hug. "I'm okay."
Harmony hugged my legs. "I missed you mummy!"
I picked her up and kissed her cheek. "I missed you too sweetheart."
Molly greeted everyone warmly. "You lot all set?"
Harry said bye to everyone. Harmony squirmed out of my arms and hugged Harry. "Bye Harms." Harry hugged her. "I'll see you soon, okay?"
"Okay." Harmony nodded and grabbed my hand. Harry looked at me and then walked away. I sighed.
"Alright, let's go." Remus said. The Weasleys had gone to the Burrow and Hermione went home with her parents. Remus apparated the rest of us to the house of Blacks.
I went to my room and laid down. I sighed and pulled Harmony next to me. "You okay, Harms?" I asked.
She nodded, "I'm okay Mummy." I yawned and closed my eyes. "Are you tired, Mummy?" I nodded. I felt her kiss my cheek. "I love you, Mummy."
"I love you, Baby." I whispered and slowly drifted to sleep.
There was an Order meeting today before dinner. In the morning I had Harmony take a shower. I went downstairs for breakfast. Remus passed me a plate of pancakes. "The Order will be here after lunch. The Weasleys will be here before lunch." Remus informed me.
I nodded, "okay."
"Are you okay?" Remus asked.
I nodded, "yeah. Just tired. Where's Tonks?"
"She went to her parents. She'll be back in a bit." He replied.
I didn't eat anything. "What are we going to do?" I asked him.
"About Harry. About everything. We're getting Harry out of the Dursley's house and take him to The Burrow. We'll talk about how during the meeting." Remus explained.
Harmony walked into the kitchen with a towel around her. She had tears running down her face. "Harms," I quickly got up and picked her up. "What happened?"
She hugged me. "I-I heard his voice. A-and then I accidentally slipped and fell. I hit my head." She cried.
I put my hand on her head and felt a little bump. "Remus, can you get some ice." Remus went to the freezer and got some ice. "It's okay, Honey." Remus put some of the ice into a back and handed it to me. I put the ice on her head. "Come on, let's get you dressed." I carried her to my room. I put her down on her bed. "Hold the ice on your head. It'll make it feel better." I went to her cupboard and grabbed some clothes. I walked over to her and used magic to dry her hair. "Come on." I took the towel from her and helped her get dressed.
"Mummy, my head hurts." She whined.
"It'll go away soon enough alright." I kissed her forehead. "Let's get you some food." I picked her up and carried her down to the kitchen. I put her down on a chair.
"Pancakes?" Remus passed her a plate with a smiley face on it.
She smiled and put the ice bag down. "Thanks Remus!" She started to eat the pancakes.
A few minutes later, Tonks game in carrying a little baby. I looked at the baby then at her, then at Remus. Remus smiled at me. "Ember. Meet Teddy."
I got up and stood in front of Tonks. I smiled at the adorable little baby. "Hi, Teddy." I touched his little hand and he grabbed my finger. He giggled and cooed. "Hi."
Tonks smiled. "Would you like to hold him?" I smiled and nodded.
I gently took Teddy from her and cradled him in my arms. I smiled at Teddy. "Aren't you a precious little one?"
"We want you to be his godmother." Remus told me.
I looked at him, "are you serious?" He nodded. "I'd love to." I looked at Teddy, "did you hear that? I'm your godmother." Teddy giggled and tugged at my hair.
Tonks sat down next to Harmony and saw the bag of ice. "Why do you have ice, Harmony?"
Harmony looked at Tonks and said, "I accidentally fell when I was taking a shower. I hit my head."
Tonks touched her head. "Does it hurt a lot?"
"Only if I touch it." Harmony said. Tonks kissed her head.
I rocked Teddy gently. Sometimes I think about what it would have been like if I hadn't had given Harmony away. What it would have been like if I got to raise her. But of course I was way too young to do so. "You're so cute." I smiled, "you have your father's eyes."
Tonks smiled, "he does. He also has his father's smile." Remus and Tonks exchanged smiles. They're so cute together.
Around lunch time, the Weasleys came, minus Charlie. Fred and George gave me a hug. I also got a hug from Bill and Molly. Harmony ran over and gave everyone a hug. "Hello there Harms." George picked her up. "How are you?"
"I have a bump on my head." She told him and touch her head.
George frowned and felt the bump. "How did that happen?"
"I hit it when I was taking a shower." Harmony told him.
"You're not supposed to dance while you shower, Harms." Fred chuckled. Harmony smiled a little.
Fred hung his arm around my shoulders. "You okay, Ember?"
I nodded, "yeah." Molly, Tonks, Ginny and I all worked together and made lunch for everyone. Ron sort of sent me a few glares. When Ron gets pissed off, it lasts for awhile. I remembered when he got mad at Harry because he thought Harry entered the Triwizard tournament. I handed Harmony a piece of carrot because she loved carrots. I saw Ron send his tenth glare and I had enough. "If you have anything to say to me then just say it." I said to Ron.
"I don't have anything to say to you." Ron said.
I crossed my arms over my chest. "I've already told you why I did what I did. If you're going to be all pissy because I wanted to help and protect Harry and all of you then go ahead. I'm getting tired of you glaring at me." Ron didn't say anything. I rolled my eyes and sat down next to George. George sent me a small smile. I didn't really talk during lunch. Harmony talked most of the time because she was excited to have everyone here again.
Molly had Ginny take Harmony to the living room because none of us wanted Harmony to listen to what we were going to talk about. Remus looked at me, "what happened at the Malfoy Manor after the incident?"
I sighed, "I yelled at him and asked him why he hasn't killed me yet and he said it was because I was a powerful witch and would be 'an excellent addition.' Then, he tortured me, he had May torture me. I found out May was Bellatrix's daughter."
"Wait," Bill spoke up, "did you tell her anything?"
"No." I told him, "I haven't told her anything."
"Do you know anything else?" Arthur asked me.
"You know who is getting stronger and stronger and the only one who can stop him is Harry."
