24. We Made It

Emaline and Elodie had taken the train back to headquarters, as Arthur and Harry had left earlier.

They reached the street, but the dark house they knew, was not there, so they had to find a way in.

"So... how do we get in?" Emaline asked
"Um... I don't really know..." Elodie replied

"I've got something that might work..." Emaline knelt down on the floor, and began violently smacking the road beneath them, just as Moody had done with his walking stick beforehand.

"Em... we've got wands... let's just try using them instead, yeah?" She brought the girl back up.

"Please, do not tell anyone that just happened..." Emaline pulled out her wand, looking embarrassed.

They both held there wands up and sure enough, number twelve started to form in between number eleven and thirteen.

Elodie led them to the door, and they walked inside.

Everyone came out of the kitchen to greet them.

"So..?" Arthur asked, with Harry at his tail.

She smiled, "We did it. They cleared my charges!"

Harry ran up, and hugged her. Fred followed, then George, then pretty much everyone.
The hallway was beginning to become quite cramped, so everyone spread back out.

"Oh dear, I'm so happy you made it..." Molly cupped Elodie's face.

"I didn't make it... we did." She looked over to Emaline who was smiling back at her.

Mad Eye Moody and Tonks were walking Harry and Elodie to catch the train to school. The Weasley's were following closely behind.
Emaline walked to Kings Cross station with them, but she soon went off to find Draco.

All of a sudden, a familiar dog came into view. It ran away into a nearby waiting room, where Elodie and Harry followed.

"Sirius what are you doing here? If somebody had seen you..." Elodie asked

"I had to see you both go off, didn't I? What's life without a little risk?" He said

"Sirius, you could get sent back there if you get caught. Witches and Wizards are all over this train station right now... and every single one of them knows who you are and what you look like." She protested

"God Elodie, you remind me so dearly of your mother."
She smiled at what he had said.

Sirius sat the siblings down.
"Anyways, I wanted you both to have something..."
He handed them a piece of enchanted paper, with dozens of people smiling and laughing.

"Original Order of the Phoenix.
Marlene McKinnon..." Sirius pointed at a women in the photo,
"She was killed two weeks after this was taken. Voldemort wiped out her entire family.
Frank and Alice Longbottom..."

"Nevilles parents..." Harry whispered softly

"They suffered a fate worse than death, if you ask me." Sirius continued
"It's been fourteen years, and still a day doesn't go by I don't miss your parents." Sirius comforted the siblings.

"Do you really think there's going to be a war, Sirius?" Harry asked

"It feels like it did before...
anyways, I suppose you're the young ones now."

Sirius let the pair go, and they went off to the train.

"Do you see Fred or George anywhere?" Elodie asked as the whistle was blown.

Harry remained still, and stared at something in the distance. Elodie turned to look too...

It was Voldemort.
He was wearing a black suit, and was staring at the siblings with beady eyes.
Smoke surrounded him.

Harry reached for his sister's hand, which she gladly took.

"Harry... this isn't real... we just need to get on the train." She pulled him to the door.

Emaline and Draco were talking to the left, so Elodie called them over.

"Hi Elodie, how was your summer? It sounded rather adventurous to me from the way that Emaline here has described it."
"We have much to discuss, Draco. But first, we need to find Lee and the twins."

"There you are, El! We've been looking all over for you." Fred exclaimed, and patted the window seat he saved for her.

"Oh, hi Emaline, Draco." Lee smiled and pointed to some free seats.

Elodie was quick to fall asleep, but she jolted awake at nothing in particular.
Everyone else had a large conversation, which she did not participate in.
She just stared out of the window, and watched the world go by.

It was finally time to get off of the Hogwarts Express.
Fred helped Elodie carry her over head baggage.

Elodie, Fred, George, Lee, Emaline and Draco all caught up to the Golden Trio.
Neville ran up to them as well, with a peculiar looking cactus in his arms.

"Hi guys." Neville spoke.
"Hi Neville." Hermione muttered, whilst staring off into the distance.

Harry turned backwards, and Elodie did the same.
They noticed a beautiful grey/black creature pulling the carriages to take them to the castle.

"What is it?" Harry asked his sister.
"I don't know... but it really is beautiful." She leant forwards and stroked its nose.
The creature sniffled and blinked.
Elodie always had a way with animals.

The siblings' friends just looked as if there was nothing. And sure enough, that's what they where seeing.

"What are you looking at?" Fred asked

"The creature pulling the carriage." Elodie didn't look back.

"Nothings pulling the carriage, Elodie." Hermione told her.

"I see it too..." Emaline walked forward and touched the creatures' nose. Just as Elodie had just done.

Seeing as it was a large carriage, thankfully everyone could fit.
They all walked around, to get ready to go on.

"You're not going mad. I can see them too." A blonde girl spoke from inside of the carriage.
"You're just as sane as I am..."

Everyone looked at her in confusion (except for Emaline, Elodie and Harry).
