DIANA SILVERSTONE IS NOT PARTICULARLY AMUSED as she enters Number Twelve Grimmauld Place for the first time. She stands in a long hallway lit with gas lamps and a large overhead chandelier. The dim lighting makes her eyes feel all funny, and the scent that fills her nostrils is not exactly pleasing. It's a smell that one can only describe as 'old', like when you walk into an abandoned building and you can just tell it's been deserted for many, many years.
The only thing that comes to mind as Diana examines the hallway in front of her is, thank fuck I'm not actually living here over the summer.
She glances to the left at her grandmother, whose expression seems to be exclaiming the same thing.
You see, Elizabeth Silverstone, despite her age, is a much too powerful woman to be kept in hiding all summer at the gloomy House of Black - so, whilst she is apart of the Order, there's no need for both her and her granddaughter Diana to reside at Grimmauld Place. Instead they arrive to attend Order meetings, sometimes stay for dinner, and then leave just as everyone is getting ready for bed.
Elizabeth insists on bringing Diana to meetings because she doesn't want to keep her in the dark - and, well, nobody would dare tell her no. She's a notorious, authoritative Auror who can still end any witch or wizard in second, even in her old age - certainly living up to the Silverstone name and the family's reputation for power. When she was thirty, she created the 'lethal fire' spell which sets anything aflame without harming the witch or wizard who cast it, even if they too were to catch flame. If powerful enough, it can even be cast without a wand and is extremely hard to put out compared to usual fires.
Very few people know the words or wand movements to cast this spell, and Diana has the privilege of being one of the tiny percent of the wizarding population to be taught it, although she hasn't quite mastered it herself yet. She is most certainly determined to, though.
