I looked around my bedroom pondering whether to even get up for the morning when a knock came from my door. I groaned rubbing my forearm standing up. Light ruffled his feathers, peaking out from under his wing.

"Bran-girl why are you up so early," He cawed looking over at the door. "How long have you been awake?,"

"You mean why didn't I sleep at all?," I replied lowly scooping him up on my left arm. His nails preened carefully into my skin holding on as I walked to the door.

Now even after Voldemort came back this summer, my father made an Appearance at the hospital wing when I blacked out. McGonagall, And Snape are the only two Professors who know of and believe our story now. Mr. And Mrs. Weasley are full aware now of everything that's going on. But after all of this I'm still stuck with Remus.

"Who is it?," I asked through the crack of the door, Zeusius cawed spreading his wings. "You aren't very intimidating behind a door," I whispered to him.

"The beholder of this cottage," Remus said a tick of worry in his voice "Grab your wand and Broom Am', Zeusius you're going to have to follow us by connection,"

"Remus what's going on?," I asked, snatching my wand from the bedside table and my Firebolt from my closet. I swung the door open and a whole- party? Of Wizards and witches were standing outside my door.

"Am' we don't have time to waste.. This is Alastor Moody," Remus said pointing to the real, Moody. I never got the pleasure of meeting last year. Only the one who was an imposter and tried killing Harry and I.

"I sort of know," I said nodding at him, Zeusius cawed preening my arm as his wings spread out.

"Are you sure this is the real one? There are plenty of Death Eater impostors going around," Moody said his blue eye swiveling onto me

"What was the name of the Dragon you talked to in the Tri-Wizard Tournament?," Remus asked an exasperated look on his face

"Tabitha- bu-,"

"It's the real one. Now, this is Nymphadora,"

"Don't call me Nymphadora Remus. It's Tonks," The young witch said shuddering, Remus just nodded.

"This is Kingsley Shackbolt," He indicated to a tall black wizard who bowed "Elphias Dodge, Dedalus Diggle, Emmeline Vance, Sturgis Podmore, and Hestia Jones," I inclined my head at each of them as they were introduced, they were doing nothing but staring at me.

"I'm sorry but is it true that, you were left with a scar like Harry potter was except on your forearm?," Dedalus asked, his words spitting out quickly, Zeusius looked down at me sympathetically and I nodded.

"Yes.. But it's not a big deal," I said looking away, Remus frowned.

"A surprising number of people volunteered to get you and Harry," Remus said,  my head shot up

"Is Harry alright- Ron and Hermione? What's happened-"

"Yes the more the better," Moody said his eye directly on me "We need to get going,"

"Everybody outside.. Amortia I hope you don't get motion sick. Apparation won't be much fun then," Remus said taking my hand and Zeusius flew by our side.

-------------------------------------

I held on tightly to my Broom as we landed. It felt strangely like the portkey did. A closed dark tube like space. We were standing outside a large house with many similar ones down the streets. Remus unlocked the door with his wand and we all went inside.

"Tonks Am', go collect Harry," Remus whispered

"This is those muggles place isn't it? Where Harry stays every summer?," I asked, it was more talking to myself as we walked up stairs with many pictures of a chubby blonde boy and a mother with horse like teeth and curly hair. The father looked like the son - very walrus shaped. As we reached a door all the way at the end of the hallway, she stuck her wand at the lock at whispered a silent incantation and unlocked the door swinging it open.

Standing there was Harry, his wand out and his facial features lifted into a expression of shock. He's gotten taller over the summer, his dark black hair still parted every which way and his emerald green eyes switching from Me to Nymphadora.

"Lower your wand boy before you take somebody's eye out," Moody growled from the bottom of the steps.

"Amortia!," Harry finally said, flinging his arms around me in a hug. Zeusius cawed, I smiled and laughed "I thought there was somebody in the house- I mean as in burglars or something,"

"Just us Harry," I said as we released our grips, and stared at one another "My question is, why are we going to collect you? What's going on,

"Honestly, I don't know either " Harry said, as he looked at Remus "Is that you Professor Lupin?,"

About five minutes later, introductions were made like they were when they collected me. Harry and I looked at one another.

"So we aren't going to the Burrow we are going to some special set up headquarters? Why?," I asked my curiosity getting the best of me.

"After Harry getting expelled and all we don't want him going out and doing something rash, and we are going to get him Back into Hogwarts. So we are taking you both to the headquarters until term starts. But since neither of you can apparate we are riding on brooms," Remus explained as Harry's trunk floated down the steps along with his broom; my mouth dropped.

"Harry got expelled?! Wait- why wasn't i told?!?," I asked forcefully clenching my fists

"I told you we should have told her sooner, Mad-Eye," Remus whispered.

Boy was this going to be a ride.
