Grimmauld's place was incredibly dark and dispersing, with no real colour throughout the building. It had been the childhood home of Sirius and Aquila Black, hidden away where the Death Eaters wouldn't find it. Voldemort's return had forced many members to move there, including the Weasley Family.

Harry Potter had arrived in a fury, spending the first so long at the residence shouting at his friends, frustration from being in the dark all summer. He'd calmed down eventually, which led him to questioning his friends. 

"What is this place, anyway?" asked Harry.

"Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix," Ron said.

"It's a secret society," Hermione added. "Dumbledore's in charge, he founded it. It's the people who fought against You-Know-Who last time."

"Who's in it?" Harry pressed. 

"Quite a few people—"

"But we've met about twenty of them," said Ron. "But there are more."

Harry glared at them. "Well?"

Ron stared blankly. "Well what?"

"Voldemort!" Harry started, then proceeded to fire question after question.

Ron and Hermione looked extremely overwhelmed.

"We've told you," Hermione interrupted nervously. "The Order don't let us into their meetings, so we don't know the details — but we've got a general idea."

"Fred and George have invented Extendable Ears, see," said Ron. "They're really useful. We keep asking Lianna what's being said but she doesn't give us anything, neither does Noah."

"Who's Lianna and Noah?"

"Noah is Professor Lupin's son," Hermione answered quickly. "Noah Lupin, he's in Hufflepuff."

"Oh," Harry still didn't know who he was. "And Lianna?"

"Lianna Scamander. She's the granddaughter of Newt Scamander, who wrote Fantastic Beasts — it's one we're taught. I always wondered who Hagrid was referring to when he said his best student was a Hufflepuff, I should have assumed it was her!" Hermoine ranted, out of breath. "She's even got a bowtruckle with her—"

"She's also Sirius' niece—" Ron added.

"What?" Harry's mouth parted. "Sirius has siblings?"

"A sister, Aquila. She's terrifying," said Ron. "Daniel is cool though, Lianna's dad. Lianna is weird, I'm pretty sure that she's a mute."
