You feel the heat come back to you as you enter 12 Grimmuald place. It was like a sanctuary from the cold. As you step inside onto the creaky floorboards, you are faced with the dusty portrait of Walburga Black. The previous owner of the home.

She seems to look you up and down in judgement, before she starts to shriek and yell like she normally does.

“Filth in the home! Filth to the family name-“ Her shrill voice yelled before it was interrupted.

“Oh shut up woman..” It was Sirius, he looked a little worse for wear. He wore a dark red velvet jacket, with a button up patterned shirt and trousers underneath it.

“You made it,, that’s good.” He let’s out a sigh of relief.

The ex prisoner approaches, wrapping you in a half embrace, slinging his arm around your shoulders.

“The other children are already here, the order is having a meeting. But it is just finishing up…” He speaks as he carefully guides you through the corridor.

“You made it safe? Right? No trouble?” He doesn’t wait for a response. “Good.” As you get closer to the kitchen, you can hear the sounds of arguing. The more noticeable voices are Mad Eye Moody’s and Mrs Weasleys, however you can hear the input from other Order members.

“Come on..” Sirius mutters, removing his arm from you as he opens the kitchen door, then returning his hand on your back to guide you in.

You are faced with the stares of the usual Order members. Mrs Weasley’s debate is interrupted immediately as she rushes over from the stove in her motherly hen way.

“Oh! You’re finally here!” She embraced you in a motherly hug, then pulling back, resting her hands on your shoulders.

“You’re far too skinny dear. I’ll fix that for you, the other children are already here, upstairs I’m sure..-“ She gives a gentle smile, tilting her head downwards to meet your eye level. As you glance past her, it seemed that the meeting they were having a moment before was serious.

What do you do now?
