"Dad!" Astrid exclaimed running through the doors of Sirius Black's house where her father had been staying. She wrapped him in a hug as he swung her around. He looked so much better, clean and well fed, a big difference from the last time she saw the man. Her summer was cut a little short at Remus' to come to Sirius' home, where the order would be staying. Harry had been expelled from Hogwarts because he used a patronus charm in front of a muggle. They all knew he had to have had a good reason to. He wasn't one to just wave his wand around for no reason at all. They had got him a trial to fight the accusation and at the moment some of the order had went to get him. They also were going to be discussing the fact that Voldemort was back. Astrid had seen the papers that claimed the young girl and Harry were lying over this. The order wanted to make people realize it wasn't a lie, he really was back.
"Astrid my goodness" she was snapped from her thoughts as Molly Weasley rounded the corner, her arms opened. "Come here sweetheart!"
Astrid smiled and walked forward into the kind woman's arms. Arthur soon joined before she stepped back, seeing Sirius round the corner as well. She walked forward, hugging him before being ushered up the stairs by Molly.
"All your friends are up there" Molly began, a kind smile playing at her lips. "And George."
Astrid blushed as she hoisted her bag over her shoulder and grabbed her trunk in her hand, lugging it up the stairs towards the rooms. She walked into an empty one she had been told to stay in, placing her bags down on an empty bed. The others were obviously Ginny and Hermione's. She made her way into the hall, looking for her friends before she opened a door she heard voices coming from.
"Astrid!" Hermione exclaimed running to the girl and engulfing her in a hug. Astrid happily returned it before seeing Ron, wrapping her arms around him as well.
"How are you feeling?" Hermione questioned. Astrid smiled softly to the pair.
"Like a thousand galleons" Astrid replied. The two smiled warmly to the girl.
"Where's the twi-" she was cut off when the door to the room opened, revealing Harry with soft smile across his lips.
"Harry!" Hermione exclaimed once more before jumping in the boys arms. Astrid stood beside Ron watching the two hug. The red head smiled to the boy before he hugged him as well. Harry's eyes met Astrid's and he walked over, embracing her.
"Are you ok?" Harry questioned the girl, his arms wrapped tightly around her.
"I'm much better. And you?"
"As good as I'll get I guess" he responded making the girl frown as the two pulled apart.
"We overheard them talking about the dementor attack" Hermione began quickly. "You must tell us everything."
"Let the man breathe Hermione" Ron said with a small smile. She quickly looked at him before turning her attention to Harry once more.
"And this hearing at the ministry" Hermione continued, shaking her head.
