We walked into the dining room and sat down in the remaining seats. Snape was giving a report and pretended that we were not there. When Snape finished, he turned to us.

"How did it go with Potter?" he asked.

"Fine fine, no problems." said Mad-Eye.

"It was really easy. The Dursley's actually believed Tonks' note." I said sniggering.

"Wait till they find out Harry's gone." said Tonks.

I opened my mouth to say something but we suddenly heard shouting from upstairs.

"Should we go-?" asked Bill.

Mrs. Weasley shook her head. "No that's just Harry, I can imagine why he'd be upset."

I nodded. "Let's just continue. Harry needs to vent it'll pass."

Eventually Harry's shouting stopped and we soon finished the meeting.

Mrs. Weasley went to get the children down for dinner. Most people left the house, not staying for dinner. Remus, Mrs. Weasley, Tonks and I were sealing the front door with our wands.

"Oh we're eating in the kitchen," said Mrs. Weasley.

I turned around to see that she was talking to Harry, who had come downstairs.

"Harry, dear, if you'll just tiptoe-" She was cut off by Tonks tripping over the umbrella stand and knocking it over with a crash.

"Tonks!" said Mrs. Weasley.

"I'm sorry!" Tonks wailed as I helped her up.

Suddenly the portrait of Sirius' mother started screaming and yelling

"FILFTH. SCUM." she screamed.

Remus and I ran over and tried to yank the curtains over the painting, but they wouldn't close.

Sirius came running and said "Shut up you horrible hag shut up!"

He yanked the curtain closed and turned to harry.

"Hello Harry, I see you've met my mother."

Tonks, Remus, Mrs. Weasley and I went to the kitchen. Mr. Weasley and Bill had their heads bent together and were speaking quietly. Bill quickly rolled up parchment when he saw Harry walk in.

"Journey all right Harry?' Bill said, trying to gather lots of scrolls. I helped him and took some out of his arms. "Mad-Eye didn't try to make you come via Greenland, then?"

"He tried." said Tonks, coming over to help us but instead, she toppled a candle onto the last piece of parchment.

"Here dear," said Mrs. Weasley, sounding exasperated as she put out the candle.

Harry looked over at the parchment and Mrs. Weasley snatched it up. "That sort of thing ought to be cleared away right at the end of the meeting!" she snapped.

Bill took out his wand and muttered "Evanesco!" and the scrolls vanished.

I kissed his cheek. "Be careful, you know how worried your mum gets with the kids are around."

He nodded.

Harry grinned at us. "When are you two getting married? It's been ages!"

I shrugged. "Not sure, with Voldemort back... we just don't think it's a good timing."

He nodded. "Makes sense. What about Charlie and Rue?"

I grinned. "They got married a few weeks ago. It was in Romania and we couldn't go. They kept it small though."

I walked over to help Mrs. Weasley but she shook her head. "No dear you go take a rest. You've been working so hard lately."

"Are you sure?" I asked.

She nodded and I went to sit with Harry, Sirius and Mundungus.

"So Harry, how are things with you and Cho?" I asked casually.

He looked up. "I-, Uh-, What?"

I grinned. "You know, Cho Chang, your crush."

He stared at me. "How did you-?"

While I was in my cat form and keeping Harry company, he had told me all about his crush Cho Chang, not knowing it was me.

I wiggled my eyebrows. "Just think, who have you told?'

He thought for a moment. "Uh only this cat that kept coming arou-."

He stopped. "Wait..... YOU WERE THAT CAT?"

I nodded and laughed. I turned into my cat form and leaped onto Harry's lap. He pushed me off and I turned back to myself.

"Oh my god so now you know everything!" he exclaimed.

I giggled. "Don't worry Potter, I can keep a secret."

Sirius was staring at us and chuckling. "I'm not even going to ask."

Harry groaned. "Yeah please don't."

The summer passed by pretty quickly. Harry was cleared and was now looking forward to go to Hogwarts and Ron and Hermione were made Prefects, which the twins kept bugging Ron about.

September first came and Mrs. Weasley was rushing about. Fred and George bewitched their trunks, sending them down the stairs but accidentally hitting poor Ginny on the head, making her topple down the stairs. Mrs. Weasley started yelling and Mrs. Black's portrait did too.

"COULD HAVE DONE HER A SERIOUS INJURY YOU IDIOTS!"

"FILTH, SCUM BLOOD-TRAITORS. MUDBLOODS!"

Thankfully, Ginny was fine and it was time for us to leave. We were all going in separate groups for safety reasons. Harry was going with Mrs. Weasley and Tonks (who was disguised as an old lady), Ron and Hermione were with Mr. Weasley, and Fred, George and Ginny were with Remus and I while Mad-Eye was taking all the luggage. Bill was at work so he couldn't come. But the night before we stayed up late talking and just cuddling.

We walked to Kings Cross station. Remus and I had to keep Fred and George from walking off too far. At least Ginny was behaving well. She stopped and picked a flower, coming over and putting it behind my ear.

"I can't wait till you're my sister." she said.

"I already am though," I said, linking my arm with hers.

She shook her head. "I know, but I mean my real sister.. when you and Bill get married!"

I chuckled and looked at her fondly as she skipped away to the twins.

"You and Bill should just get married already." said Remus, falling into step beside me.

I smirked. "You should confess to Tonks already,"

He flushed. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

I wiggled my eyebrows. "Come one Rem, it's soooo obvious to any person with at least two brain cells."

He shrugged. "Still don't know what yo-"

I cut him off. "The way you look at her! When you look at her, your face gets all sappy and lovey dovey. It's pretty disgusting."

He rolled his eyes. "You hypocrite! You should see your face whenever you're with Bill."

I grinned. "It's cute when we do it."

Remus said nothing and ignored me when I pressed more about Tonks, so I dropped the topic
