OOC: 'guess I'll start.

I rubbed my eyes as I woke up and slipped my feet into a pair of slippers, sleepily walking out of my room and down to the kitchen.
I yawned as I reached the door to the kitchen and opened it up to find a mess of red heads yelling all over. Everyone silenced as I walked in, a bit horrified, "I thought the family reunion was next year," I said looking around the room as Fred and George burst out laughing.
"Kira, go back up to your room, this is family business," my Dad said and added, "For older members of the family."
"Like what?" I asked.
"Kira-" my father started impatiently.
"I'm getting married," my Aunt cut him off.
"And..." Percy started from his isolated corner of the room but didn't finish. All of a sudden the uproar started again and I left the room.
"And they had me thinking someone died," I rolled my eyes and walked back up stairs to my room, waiting for a reply from Will and B.

I woke up in a bad mood. Not for the first time this summer had it been so hot that I woke with sweat all over me. I sat up in bed and reached out for the curtain, pulling on the string as it opened.
The sun hit my eyes.
"...And more bad news is on the way, experts say that these heat waves will continue for the next week..." The television was on in the next room. As I walked past B's room I noticed she was still sleeping, so I continued into the lounge room where my mother sat watching the television as she got ready for work.
"Morning dear" She said getting up as she tried to pull her hair back in a bushy ponytail. "Pancakes should be ready in five minutes" She advised as I looked in the kitchen as the food was preparing itself "I'll be home at about five, you and Birgit can out if you want today, I have some money on the counter, also Victor's sleeping in so don't wake him, be good" She swopped down and kissed me quickly before heading to the door.
"What?" I said craning my neck at her.
"Be good" She sang opening the door.
"No" I sighed back "Krum!"
"Oh, yes well he had a big night last night and...oh" She said relising what I was saying. "He's in my bedroom" She went a quick pink. "And I forbid you to be rude to him William Granger!" She said glaring at me for a second.
"I won't" I said as she closed the door "If he isn't rude to me first" I collapsed on the couch.

I angrilly stomped down the stairs. "You cant ground me!" I yelled going into the library. Michael yelled something back to me as i sat down in a chair and took out a book. The summer was lousy, i had gotten grounded for leaving the house without telling anyone and i was refusing to obey anyone. My wand was broken i had no hope of ever going back to Hogwarts. An owl flew into the window, "Whose this from?" I asked to myself as i opened a letter to see it was sighned by Mcgonagle.

Stephanie,

We ask that you join us next year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry despite you are not able to perform magic at this point in time. I will be coming to your homr later today to speak with your family. Thankyou,
Proffesor Minerva Mcgonagle.

I woke up and got dressed. I heard some noise from dowstairs so I guessed everyone was alrady up. I went down the stairs and found Will witting on the coutch. "Morning!" I said to him. "Morning, B!" He answered back. "Did it say anything about the weather? How long is this going to last?" I asked collapseing next to him

"Bad news" I told her "They say it's staying around for another week" I got up and turned the air conditioning on. I then went into the kitchen and got two plates, one for me and one for B, and started collecting the pancakes.
"Yum" B said walking and grabbing some butter and honey as we sat at the table. There was snore from my mother's room. "What-?"
"Krum" I said to her. Just as we were about to eat there was a noise. We both looked over at the window as an owl came zooming towards it. "oh no" I muttered hurrying over to open it, but was to slow as it crashed into it.
"Untrutworthy Weasley owls" B smiled shaking her head.
"I'll say" I picked the owl up and took him in side, taking off the letter. "It is from Kira" I assured her opening it.

I opened the letter and read it out loud.

Dear Will and B,

How are you guys holding up to the heat? I hope it will end soon. By the way... what do you think what will become of Stevie? Will she be back to Hogwarts with us? I sure hope she'll be ok...

Love,
Kira


PS See you soon! Hopefully...

"Well now we know we're not the only ones who suffer under the heat. But I really don't know what will become of Stevie." I said and sighted

I sat down, taking out a quill and parchment as I started a reply letter.
"I'm worried" I told her "We haven't spoken to Stevie all summer...she doesn't reply to our letters, she is being distant to us..." I finished adding some other comments before sealing the letter and attaching it to her owl.
"How do you think Stevie's holding up?" B asked "I mean, with her new family". I shook my head,
"I don't know, she isn't one to obey every rule. I just hope she doesn't do somthing stupid."

I packed a duffel bag with the stuff i had left from the magical world and headed out the door. "I dont care, I'm leaving" I smiled as i took off and headed down the road. "I sure hope the Knight Bus comes" I said rolling my eyes and sitting down on the sidewalk.

My old owl flew back to the window which I quickly opened before it slammed into it. I read over Will's letter and rushed back downstairs where it was just as noisey as I left it. I slammed the door open, "Dad! Stevie hasn't replied to any of Will and B's letters either! What if something's wrong?" I ran up to him.
"Fellytone her!" I heard my Grandpa's voice from the kitchen table.
"F-felly-what?" I asked, as my grandpa got up and walked upstairs, I followed him along with the rest of the family.
My grandpa began to search through boxes of plugs and outlets in out attic and eventually found a telephone and set it up. As he did this I owled B and Will,

Dear B and Will,
I have no idea what my grandpa is up to but my father looks a bit afraid. He wants me to ask you for Stevie's "number", er. Please tell me if you ahve any idea what's going on... Something about a fellytone.
Love,
Kira

We continued to have breakfast as an owl swopped in through the window again. I quickly read the letter.
"Do you know her number?" B asked re-reading it herself. I hurried over to the phone and dialled a few numbers, an operator answered.
"How may I help you?" She asked brightly.
"Uh, I would like to know the number for Micheal...uh" I looked to B "What's his last name?" She shrugged. "uh...Micheal who lives in Hesterashia Hollow in the Gargoyle Manor..." I waited nervously for a reply. B quickly gave me a pen as I scribbled down a number. B added it to Kira's letter and sent a reply. "Thanks" I said hanging up.
"Fellytone?" B asked nervously "Is that what you were-" B stopped as she stared at me, staring at the television screen.
"Turn it up!" I snapped. She grabbed the remote and put it up louder. I stared at the faces on the screen, recognising one of them.
"So just remember, if you see any of these people do not approach them, contact the hotline instantly" The reporter said in a warning voice. I sat back as the faces dissapeared. B was staring at me.
"I didn't see Draco, who where they?"
"No, Draco wasn't on there...it was my grandfather...he has escaped from Azkaban with others." I went silent "I just hope Stevie is still safe in the Gargoyle Manor."

"I hope so too, but lets just think: what if she's not there?" I asked. The question was scary but what if something will happen? What if she leaves the house? Alone?

While waiting for the reply in my room I changed into a black dress my Mum had bought me the other day in case Stevie was planning on having some sort of party. I heard a loud bang on the floor as my family's owl sat down,
"They've replied!" I opened the door and called up to the attic.
"C'mere!" my Grandfather shouted back while my father went on about when he had called the Dursley's, "Okay," my grandfather continued, "Now, you have the number there on that paper?"
I nodded and he went on,"Good, now see these buttons? Push her number- oh here let me do it." He finished and I handed him the paper as he dialed the number and then handed me over the phone.
"Talk through there and listen through there," he said and quickly pointed as I heard some weird ringing noise.
"And don't talk loud!" my dad added right when Stevie's new mom picked up the phone.
"Er - hello this is Kira.. is um Stevie in- there, is Stevie there?" I asked, still confused.
"No, Michael and I can't find her anywhere! She, I don't know where she is!" I heard the woman on the other line cry and dropped the phone.
"Kira?" my Dad asked.
"She's missing!" I shouted and ran down to send off another letter to Will and B.

OOC: Sorry, I've been out for the weekend.

B came out of her room moments later, dressed.
"What took you so long?" I asked impatiently, fixing up my jacket and getting some money off of the table. "Girls" I shook my head. We were going to the muggle shopping center, B had never been there in her life and had dressed in her finest muggle clothes.
"It will be wierd," She said "I mean, with no magic and all." As soon as she said this an owl flew back through the window. B opened it quickly as her eyes darted down the page. She dropped the letter "Will! Stevie's not at home! Kira just called and she said she ran away!"
"What?" I said nervously for a second in disbelief. Quickly I grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the door. I ran to the elevator and pushed the button.
"Where are we going?" B asked.
"umm" I said thinking "uh...I know! The Finnagan's live two blocks away, we can use his floo powder to get to Mungo's, my mum will know what to do"

I sat there waiting for the bus and suddenly realizedthat if i wasa mumggle it wouldnt recognize me as a stranded wizard. "Oh Gosh" I said as i looked around, it was starting to get dark. "I hope someone comes soon" I sighed starting to get scared.

OOC I've been out allweekend, sorry. Ooh I get to see a advanced screening tommorow night! LOl Harry Potter!! ahh! see ya guys! OOC

"Hermione's owled back!" my Dad shouted through the house not so sure which member of the family was in what room. The next second everyone except Percy was in the kitchen hunched over Hermione's letter.
"She wants us to meet up with her in St. Mungo's - Kira and I," he said and looked around the room, "She says she'll talk with us there, in case the owls get intercepted."
Everyone in the room seemed to ignore the last sentence, "We want to go!" Fred and George shouted.
"Some of us have to stay here and wait for Bill," my grandmother said to them.
"But we wanted to see if that Lockhart was still there!" Fred and George turned to her.
"Stevie is missing and you're worrying about a man who was about to erase her father and Ron's memory," she stared at them coldly.
I didn't want to get involved so I ran up to my room to grab some things and saw Percy inside snooping around, "What are you doing?" I asked. He turned towards me instantly and almost knocked over something on my dresser.
"Nothing, can't I look around my Niece's room?" he said as I grabbed my coat then eyed him.
"Yeah, a niece whose not so proud to be blood-related to you," I mumbled, "Well.. Get out." I finished and walked down stairs after him.

Me and B hurried across the street, it was filled with muggles, completly unaware of the importance of finding the Finnagan's house.
"Watch where you are going" One tall man grunted as we knocked shoulder's past him.
"You watch it muggle!" B snapped back, quiet shocked at the rudeness of a muggle. He glared at her, so I grabbed her to keep running. We got to the finnagan's house and knocked heavily on the door.
"Hello?" Amanda Finnagan said opening it, she seemed quiet shocked to see us. "er...hey guys, what are you doing-"
"Sorry" I said hurrying past her to her fireplace, it was here that me and B grabbed the floo powder and dropped it. "St. Mungo's!" I said quickly as the flames devoured us, leaving Amanda still at the door quiet stunned.
"Mum?" I shouted moments later running through my mother's ward with B. "Where are-"
"Will, stop shouting" My mother barked coming around the corner.
"Stevie's-" B started.
"I know! Shh" She said quickly "The last thing we need is the entire hospital knowing that she is gone. Mc Gonagall is taking care of it, in the mean time we are meeting Ron and Kira in a few moments" She said, looking over at the arrival fire places that we just came out of.

"Are you waiting for anyone else? I asked looking towards the fireplaces too.
"Yes. I owled Ron and Kira. They should be arriving too..." She replied. I looked at Will. Just then the two Weasleys appeared in the fireplace.
"We came as soon as we got your owl!" Ron said.
"Hey Kira!" I said as she stepped closer to us
"What was it that you wanted to tell us?" Ron asked Hermione as we were walking down the hall towards her office

I watched as my mother and Ron hurried inside, B followed closely behind. I looked to Kira as we came up the back.
"So, how's your summer been?" I asked, trying to sound casual.
"Hurry" My mother said as we both snapped to it and hurried inside, where she closed the door. "Right, I have owled Mc Gonagall, she has some auror's out looking for Stevie now. They will be taking her to Grimmauld Place and-"
"Grimmauld Place?" B said, her voice changing slightly.
"-Yes, dear" My mother smiled "Now, I have organised us to spend the rest of the summer there and-" She had noticed Ron's glance. "Ron!"
"What?" He said quickly.
"I don't want to put Will, B or Kira in any danger either, but we need to join the new order if we want to stop Draco!" She pursed her lip.
"Yeah, I know" Ron said, sounding alot more hopeful.
"Right, I will finish up here and go get our stuff with Krum and-"
"Krum!" Me and Ron said instantly.
"Grow up" She said, although I wasn't to sure to who it was aimed at. "Ron, Tonks will be here soon to take you and the children there." Ron gave her another glance.
"Don't think I can protect them?" He started. My mother opened her mouth but I said quickly,
"Stop bickering!" They both looked rather shocked at me.

"You're worse than me!" I grabbed my Dad's hand and pulled him away from Hermione.
"Worse than-" my father began but heard someone at the door, it was a woman with purple spiked hair, she was short, and looked friendly.
"Tonks," Hermione smiled and Tonks turned to her then looked at Will, B, and I as we all looked at her in return.
Just seconds later we were all being shoved out of St. Mungo's, "How are we planning on getting there?" Will asked as I questioned my Dad.
"But Dad, what about Ginny's wedding? And how will Stevie get there -" I went on.
"Kira, not another word about Stevie, someone might overhear. And Ginny never even told us she had a boyfriend," Ron finished.
"Well maybe that's because she has six, older, over-protective brothers," I looked to my Dad.
"And you have one over-protective father... and a Hermione," he glanced at her, "who are making you go," my Dad pushed me out of a door.
I sighed and looked to Will, "My summer was okay," I answered his question from a while back, "What about yours?" I asked, happy to see him and B again.

"It's been-" I started, but once again I was interrupted by someone.
"Hurry" Tonk said, waving her arm at a hoarseless carriage that was usually at Hogwarts. We all hurried inside of it. "Wotcher!" Tonks said taking the riens and pulling on some invisibile creatures. They pulled at it as we took flight suddenly.
"Woah!" I shouted at the top of my voice. It was a good decent three minutes before it landed suddenly and very hard on the ground.
"Grimmauld Place" Ron pronounced as he tapped his wand on the wall, suddenly a door appeared. Tonks pushed us all inside.
"This place smells" I muttered to B, but she was looking around at the dusty old house with awe.

"So this is where my father lived? Awful..." I said and gritted my nose. Suddenly the hallway was full of someones voice.
"TRAITOR! JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER! HOW DARE YOU EVEN COME TO THIS HOUSE!" It yelled. I turned around and saw an old evil ladies protrait.
"Are you talking to me?" I asked looking rather puzzled and a bit angry.
"YES I'M TALKING TO YOU! YOU FILTH!" That really made me mad.
"How dare you! Who are you anyway?" I asked
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHO AM I? I'M YOUR GRANDMOTHER! A GRANDMOTHER OF A MURDERER AND FILTH!" She said and was about to continue her insults but Tonks and Ron pulled the curtain on and so it continued to insult them.

"Quickly, in here" Called a voice at the end of the hall, we all looked over to see Ginny Weasley guesturing us into the kitchen. We all hurried over and down into an old kitchen. We hurried along, but as I looked at B there was somewhat longing in her eyes, it was the first time she had contacted a member of her family.
"Well, look how much you have all grown" Ginny said to me and B as she hurried back over to the stove, where food was cooking.
"Move!" Squeaked a voice as me and Kira jumped apart, a small house elf hurried past, carrying some blankets. "Filthy mudblood!"
"Kreacher!" Ginny snapped angrily.
"A house elf" I said staring at it, I had never seen one before.
"Look at the filthy boy staring at Kreacher! Half dirty and half pure, what a disgrace!" Kreacher muttered loudly "And another red head, just as dirty!" He continued. "And Kreacher see's the girl, he knows who she is...Kreacher is ill just looking at her" He said eyeing B.
"Oh, shut up!" Ginny snapped.

"Was there anyone nice in my family? Exept for my dad..." I asked looking at the elf with an evil look. His eyes went big and he ran out of the kitchen.

"Let me go!" I yelled as two representatives from the Ministry dragged me into a car. "We're taking you to Grimaurld Place, shush up!" A African American man barked at me. I rolled my eyes and layed back on the seat. "This summer is turning out to be a nightmare!' I groaned.
