The Weasley girl waited in the nighttime chill of November, hands tucked in the pockets of her muggle sweatshirt that had a purple peace sign plastered on the front. Rose looked around the corner. She could see uncle Harry's car, but no bus.

She swayed back and forth on her heals, waiting... After about another ten minutes of that, the nearby bush began to rustle, and soon the knight bus screeched to a halt before her. The door folded into itself and a zit-faced wizard stepped in front of Rose. She didn't want to be rude, but was in a rush. "You must be Ernie... or Stan." The man opened his mouth to reply, but Rose kept speaking. "Either way, can I climb aboard? Thanks." Rose's dad claimed she got her no-nonsense attitude from her brilliant mother, which she believed.

Once at the top of the small steps inside the bus, Rose craned her neck to see a black pony tail sticking up from the first seat. Rose plopped down in a neighboring seat. Lena Chan was humming a muggle pop song and flipping through a couple editions of the Daily Prophet. She didn't even glance up at Rose.

"Where to?" Rose was asked.

"Uh..." she wasn't prepared for this. "Just around the corner, please." The zit-faced guy gave her a puzzled look, but soon shrugged it off as the bus lurched to a start.

Rose eyed Lena. "Excuse me?" She finally said. Lena peered up from the newspapers at Rose. Her face conveyed a look that was displaying the facts: she knew she was busted. "Rose?" She tried to act nonchalant, but inside was freaking out.

"You're getting off with me, or my uncle's coming on." Rose straight up told her. "I can chose if I want to support Marvello, you know." Lena folded her arms across her chest and glared in the direction of Rose. Rose shrugged. "Talk to my uncle... that's all I'm saying."

The bus came to a stop around the corner. "That's all. Next stop-" Rose cut him off. "No next stop. She's coming with me." Lena groaned and followed Rose off the bus. A second later, the kid came out with with Lena's trunk. With a confused look painted on his zit face, he shrugged, "It's Stan." After the knight bus zoomed around the corner, Harry and Maddie jumped out of the car.

"Lena!" Harry shouted as he ran up to her and grabbed her shoulders. "Are you crazy?!" She shrugged him off. "Stop."

Harry sighed and pulled out his wand. "I'm sorry." Lena huffed and turned her back, "Do it."

"Obliviate."

When Harry, Rose, and Maddie stepped into the door of the safe house, the entire family was waiting. "What happened?!" Ginny exclaimed, "Where did you go?" Before Harry could answer, Claire piped up, "Um... where is Lena?!" The three looked at the floor.

"Maddie... where is your sister?" Ron asked shakily. "She went to join... him." Maddie looked up as she said this.

Everybody was shocked. "We went to memory charm her so she couldn't give away our location." Harry replied with a small voice.

"How do we know that her sister won't turn bad, too?" Caleb spat in Maddie's direction. That's when Hugo turned around and slapped him.
