When the news came it was a punch to the gut. I instantly fell to the ground as Tonks wrapped her arms around.

"Sirius is dead." She had said causing my world to fall apart.

She let out a sigh and rubbed my back. I felt like I couldn't breath, everything hurt. As I set there my mind instantly kick started.

"Harry, someone has to-"

"He knows.... He was there." She said sadly.

"No." I said through tears.

She nodded her head and I stood up, with his help.

"I have to... Tonks, I need to be with Harry. He can't be alone-"

"What you need is to focus on yourself. I'll be there every step of the way. Harry will be fine, I promise." She said as she cuffed my cheek.

That break me, I constantly thought of Harry and it didn't help that I couldn't visit him. I would write to him, but I got nothing back. After sometime I thought maybe he hated me. Maybe Sirius hated me or thought I hated him.

"I'm a horrible person. I said horrible things to-"

"Hey, you aren't a bad person. You never will be a bad person." Tonks said as she wrapped an arm around my shoulder.

I let out a sigh and laid my head on her shoulder, closing my eyes as I leaned against her.

When it was finally time for me to return to Hogwarts, Dumbledore was the one to pick me up and he wasn't alone.

"Harr-"

Harry moved forward and his arms tightened around me. I let out a sigh and hugged him back almost instantly.

"I tried to write-"

"I know, but my aunt and uncle took the letters, before I could read them. I missed you so much." He said pulling away from me.

"Harry, I heard about Sirius-"

"I know, I'm okay... better now that my best friend is here." He said softly.

Dumbledore took us to The Burrow and a Harry put an arm around me and led me inside. We heard talking and then I heard someone say Moondrop.

"Well their trunk's are in the kitchen. And his owl and also Moondrop is here." Ginny said calmly.

"I seriously doubt that." Molly said angrily.

We heard a screech and then heard running.

"Harry? Did someone say Harry and Ebony?" Ron asked happily

"Are they up there with you?" Ginny asked softly.

'Course not. Think I'd know if my best friends were in my room, wouldn't I?" Ron asked angrily.

"Was that an owl I heard?" Hermione asked coming up behind Ron.

"Harry's. Haven't seen him or Ebony, have you? Apparently, they are wandering about the house." Ron explained.

"Really?" She asked in shock.

"Really." Harry said as I let out a laugh.

Ginny spun around and saw both me and Harry standing in the doorway of the kitchen. They all squealed and rushed up to us.

Molly hugged me while Ginny hugged Harry. They switched and then I was being hugged by Ginny and then Ron and finally Hermione.

"But why didn't you tell us you were coming!" Molly asked pulling away from Harry.

"Didn't know." Harry explained.

"Dumbledore." I explained.

"That man. But then, what would we do without him? Ron!" Molly yelled making us all turn to look at him.

Ron was about to touch Hermione, and when she noticed she moved away from him.

"You've a bit of..."

Ron gestured to the bit of toothpaste on Hermione's chin. I shook my head as she wiped it off, shooting him an odd look. We made it to the attic and I plopped down on Ron's bed.

"When'd you get here?"

"A few days ago. Though... for a bit, I wasn't sure I was coming." Hermione said looking at Ron.

"Mum sort of lost it last week. Said Ginny and I had no business going back to Hogwarts. That it's too dangerous." Ron said with a frown.

"Oh come on..."

"She's not alone. Even my parents, and they're Muggles, know something bad is happening." Hermione said with a frown.

"Anyway, Dad stepped in, told her she was being barmy. Took a day or two, but she came round." Ron said calmly.

"But we're talking about Hogwarts. I mean Dumbledore is there. What could be safer?" Harry said as I flipped through a book.

"There's been a lot of chatter lately. That he's gotten... old."

"Rubbish. He's only.... what?" Harry asked with a frown.

"A hundred and fifty. Give or take a few years." Ron mumbled as I set up.

"Hey, I didn't see the twins when I got here." I said with a frown.

"They live at their joke shop. You'll love it. We plan to go tomorrow." Ron said happily.

I nodded my head and let out a sigh.

"Fred and George been asking about you a lot. Percy has been sending howlers yelling about them blowing up his mailbox." Hermione said with a laugh.

"I haven't heard from them."

"That's cause it's been written to him and not you. They thought you were still upset with them." Ron explained.

"Well tomorrow me and them are having a few words." I said crossing my arms over my chest.
