As the young witch, Bobbie Granger, enters her seventh and final year at Hogwarts she anticipates her time to be full of secret parties in the common rooms, cheering for her friends at Quidditch matches, and studying endlessly for her N.E.W.T's.

"Let's go on a trip," Remus mumbled with his eyes still shut, and he cuddled further into the girl next to him.
Bobbie giggled, turning on her side to face Remus, the tip of their noses touching. Her hand reached to brush Remus's long brown locks from his closed eyes. "And where do you propose we go?"
Remus shrugged lazily moving to touch his lips to hers. "Rome, Paris, anywhere."
"The hospital, the Order?" Bobbie groaned on his lips.
"Screw 'em. Run away with me."
Bobbie chuckled, moving to straddle Remus's torso. She leaned to kiss all about Remus's tired face. He finally opened his honey brown eyes, a goofy grin plastered on his lips. They heard a crash from the living room and looked curiously at each other before jumping up to clothe themselves.
"Hermione?" Bobbie gasped as she flew across the room to her fireplace, her sister exiting it covered in soot.
Remus's cheeks flushed as he sprinted toward Bobbie's couch, grabbing a sweater and slipping over his bare torso. "What are you doing here?" He questioned.
Hermione grinned between her sister and her former professor before saying, "I used the floo network in our new defense professors office."
Bobbie raced to the kitchen, pouring her sister a glass of water before ushering her to sit on the sofa. "What's wrong, are you hurt?" She asked, frantically inspecting her little sister for any obvious injuries.
"No, nothing like that. I had to escape from Hogwarts to try and get you two to help," the girl appeared desperate.
"Why would you have to escape from Hogwarts?" Remus asked.
"We have an awful new defense professor, she's been abusing Harry. She's trying to take over the whole school, I haven't been able to write to you in weeks because she reads each letter the students send," Hermione reported.
Bobbie and Remus listened silently as Hermione listed all the awful things Umbridge had done in the weeks since she had started at the castle. "Why wouldn't Dumbledore say anything?" Bobbie asked, turning toward Remus.
He shrugged. "Perhaps because it's not related to the Order."
"I think Harry being abused is something that should be mentioned in our meetings!" Bobbie shouted, rising from the coffee table she was seated on.
"I agree darling, we can bring it up to the Order later," Remus said, reaching to hold onto Bobbie's hand. Hermione smiled at the pair as they said they would help them in whatever way they could.
"Can one of you apparate me back to the castle? I don't have my license yet, and if I'm caught by Umbridge she may just curse me to death," Hermione sighed.
"I've got to be at the hospital soon," Bobbie frowned.
"I'll take you," Remus stated. Bobbie smiled at the man, pecking his lips before hugging her sister and running back into her room to get dressed.
Remus rose from the couch extending his arm out for the youngest Granger to latch onto. "Take us near Hagrid's place, I don't want you to get into any trouble," Hermione stated.
He listened to the girls instructions and they appeared outside Hagrid's house in a flash. Hagrid was still on his journey East to recruit the giants, and he had asked the golden trio to keep an eye on Fang. Remus followed Hermione into the shack, helping her cut a slice of beef for the large dog.
"You nearly broke my sister you know," Hermione stated, interrupting the silence between the pair.
Remus leaned his arms on the counter and hung his head, nodding. "I didn't mean to."
"Don't do it again," she smiled softly before smacking the man on the shoulder.
"What do you think your parents will say?" Remus asked, placing Fang's bowl of food on the floor.
Hermione shook her head and chuckled as she sat in one of the large wooden chairs. "Could go either way, honestly. It might take mum a while to warm up to the idea, but dad loved you at Christmas."
Remus smiled and Hermione gave him different pointers to win over her parents before she decided to head back to the castle, not wanting to be spotted by Umbridge. "Don't tell my parents until Christmas, please. I need to be there for that reaction," Hermione giggled before quickly hugging Remus and running back toward the school.

"If Harry is being hurt I deserve to be the one that busts through the doors of the castle and hexes Umbridge!" Sirius shouted, slamming his fist on the table.
"We have to be smart about this Padfoot, you don't think I dream about going up to her and jinxing her?" Remus sighed. Umbridge had been a large contributing factor as to why Remus wasn't able to hold a job. She had been the main influencer in support of passing the anti-werewolf legislation.
The Order had started the meeting nearly an hour ago, and they were at a loss on how to resolve the situation going on at Hogwarts. "Umbridge is part of the ministry, do we need to remind you of your status Sirius?" Arthur Weasley stated, trying to calm Sirius's nerves.
"Georgie and I could go there, show her what Hogwarts is truly about," Fred laughed, his twin brother nodding.
"Sure, land yourselves in Azkaban for all I care!" Molly scolded the ginger twins.
"If Dumbledore wanted us to intervene, he would've said something. I think we're meant to lay low on this issue," Kingsley spoke, a majority of the members agreeing with him.
Sirius huffed before storming out of the room and up the stairs. Remus and Bobbie stared at each other for a moment, before she rose from her seat. "I've got it."
The girl climbed the stairs to see Sirius sitting in one of the empty rooms, holding his head between his hands. Bobbie strode across the room to plop herself next to Sirius. "Go away, Granger, I want to left alone."
"Harry will be alright, Snuffles. If he was in any true danger Dumbledore would tell us," she whispered to her friend.
"I feel so helpless! I'm stuck in this house for all hours of the day, and I can't even help my godson when he needs me," Sirius groaned. "Maybe he's better off with the Dursley's."
Bobbie furrowed her brow at the man, did he not know how those muggles treated Harry? "He belongs right here with you. We have people searching the entire world for that little rat, and you will a free man soon enough," she assured the man.
Sirius lowered his hands from his face, smiling down at the girl sat on his left. "I'm really glad Remus found you."
Bobbie couldn't help the wide grin that spread across her cheeks as Sirius said this. Gaining the approval of one of Remus's oldest friends was something she appreciated more than the man knew.
