Grey Dawn:

Chapter 1: Plans

June 25, 1995 – Early Morning Hours

.

The room was dark, the only light coming from a small oil lamp and a large fireplace, which caused the two comfortable looking chairs and small round table to cast long shadows over the many book shelves making the room seem even darker. The fire flickered as it was allowed to burn low, the shadows dancing slightly in the shifting light. "Daisy," a young woman's voice spoke out followed by a pop as the House Elf appeared next to one of the chairs.

"Yes Mistress?" the Elf squeaked, eager to please the young woman.

"Bring a Bottle of Butterbeer and Fire Whiskey," was the reply from the young woman.

"Yes, Mistress," The Elf replied before popping away. It didn't take long for the requested drinks and glass to appear on the small table between the chairs. Not long after the drinks appeared the fire turned green and soon Sirius Black was stepping out of the Fireplace looking troubled and worn out. The Girl worried for a moment if the Man's years at Azkaban were catching up to him again. "Uncle, what happened? Is Harry alright?" her calm voice was betrayed by the concern in her eyes.

"Morgana's tits!" Sirius cried out in surprise, clearly not noticing the girl's presence and causing Morgan to narrow her eyes at the cry of her namesake, before sinking into the empty chair and pouring himself a glass of Fire Whiskey. "Are you trying to give me a bloody heart attack?" he asked as he downed the glass in one gulp and poured another. The girl's eyes soften slightly with a barely noticeable shrug as she watched the Animagus.

"No, now what happened?" she asked once more as she leaned forward in her chair. The fire light showing just how worried and tired her uncle looked. It didn't bode well and made Morgan worry about the safety of his Godson.

"That blasted tournament… it was a trap…" Sirius started, going on to tell Morgan about how Barty Crouch Jr. had been posing as the Former Auror Allister "Mad-Eye" Moody and how he had turned the Tri-Wizard Cup into a Portkey. How Wormtail, the Traitor, had used Harry's blood to bring back Voldemort, and how Dumbledore wanted to bring back the Order of the Phoenix and needed a Headquarters.

Morgan frowned as she listened to the story, "And what of Harry? Surely that man doesn't mean to leave him with those Muggles you told me about?" she asked as she watched the man she considered an Uncle even though he was actually her second cousin.

"He does… but with extra protection," Sirius said, the doubt the man felt at that idea was clear in both his voice and the look on his face.

"Then we can't allow him to stay there, we need to move forward our plans Uncle," Morgan said with confidence and convictions. She would not let her cousin and Head of a Noble and Most Ancient House suffer at the hands of Muggles who abused him, especially after witnessing Voldemort's return and having seen someone the boy might have considered a friend murdered in front of him.

"My thoughts exactly… he needs family, now more than ever and I no longer believe Dumbledore has Harry's best interests at heart," Sirius replied with another sip of his fire whiskey.

"I never thought the man did," Morgan replied as she looked hard at Sirius, and finally reached for her butterbeer and took a sip as she thought over their plans and came up with a few of her own, "As for this Headquarters business… Let Dumbledore use 12 Grimmauld Place," she added calmly.

Sirius was surprised as he looked at the girl for a moment before replying, "Are you sure?" he asked. It wasn't that he doubted her, but he did wonder where she was going with this.

"Of course I am, besides, our family has more than one property," she replied with a smirk that told Sirius there was more to it than that. He didn't have to wait long to find out what that was. "Also, it will allow us to find out what exactly Dumbledore is planning. Or at the very least give us an idea of his plans," she added with a small shrug.

Sirius couldn't help but chuckle at the girl's plan, "That's very Slytherin of you," he said as he watched the girl. His willingness to follow Morgan's plan stemmed from his desire to do better for Harry, and if all went well Morgan would soon be the Head of the Black family.

"Well I am a Black," was her reply as she smiled at the worn-out man, "For now you look like you need some rest uncle, we can worry about the rest once you've gotten some sleep," she added as the man nodded in agreement, too tired to argue.

.

So, it was that later in the day, once Sirius had some much-needed rest, that there was a gathering that could change the whole landscape of Wizarding Britain at one of the Black family's many properties. The large manor, which over looked a small private lake, was usually a vacation home for the family, but would now serve as a sort of base of operations for their plans. The small group consisting of Sirius, Morgan, Remus Lupin, Andromeda Tonks nee Black, and her Husband Ted, their Daughter Nymphadora Tonks, and to the surprise of Remus, Narcissa Malfoy. They were all sitting at a round table just large enough to fit the group comfortably. While Sirius had been resting Morgan had sent word to all in attendance that they were needed for urgent Family Business. Remus was still confused as to why he was there but would soon have his answer as Morgan sighed and took a small sip of honeyed tea which her House Elf Daisy had provided, then set the cup once more on its saucer.

"I've asked you all here because of what happened last night," Morgan explained as she surveyed the gathered group, everyone pretended not to notice the occasional glances she made towards Dora. "It's also about Harry Potter, up until recently we…"

"I thought he would be safe," Sirius cut off as he gave Morgan a small nod when she gave the man a worried and surprised look before continuing. "I believed Dumbledore when he said Harry would be safe, just like I believed him when he suggested Wormtail as James and Lily's secret-keeper," he spat the traitors name as ghosts of the past filled his eyes.

"And that has since changed?" it was Andromeda who spoke up, bringing the man back to the present and out of his painful memories. The Medi-Witch hated seeing the pain and sorrow in her cousin's eyes when he spoke of that night.

"Yes, after the events of this past year, and last night I no longer believe he has Harry's best interest at heart. Or that he will be safe with his Aunt and Uncle, not with Voldemort back, even with a guard there to protect him," Sirius said calmly. Morgan decided it was time for her to take over the explanations once more as the exhaustion of the man peeked out.

"That is why we have decided to do what should have been done a year ago when I became old enough to take my place as Lady Black," Morgan said calmly, a small nod of approval was barely noticed from Narcissa. "Then, we plan to rescue Harry from his relative's house and bring him here. He is family, and right now he needs one that cares about him more than ever, regardless of what Dumbledore says," she added as she looked around the group.

"He will also need our help as he has not been educated on Wizarding Society nor has he been told who he really is," Sirius cut in and all eyes turned to Narcissa as the elegant woman finally stirred.

"And you want us to help teach him this?" Narcissa asked in a calm voice. At the nod she continued, "Then it shall be, you have waited too long already to bring him here Sirius Orion Black. Toujours Pur, family comes first, and we stand by our family no matter what or who we must stand against to do so," There was a fire in her eyes that reminded Andromeda briefly of their older sister before the woman had been forced to marry Ruldophus Lestrange. Sirius was a bit surprised at the intensity of his Cousin's determination and even shrank a bit at being called out for not bringing Harry to them sooner. However, he knew she was right, and he should expect no less from the proud woman that had continued to see Andromeda even after the middle Black sister had been disowned and helped raise Morgan while the girl's mother falsely sat in Azkaban.

"I'm all for protecting Harry, but what is my part in all of this?" Remus finally felt brave enough to ask what he had been wondering since he had arrived and found the Black Sisters already there. All eyes turned to the man as he looked to Sirius for answers, however, it was not from his fellow Marauder that the answer came.

"Because you are family. Sirius sees you as a brother and so did James. That makes you Harry's Uncle in all but blood," Morgan answered as if it was obvious and to the Werewolf's surprise not only did Sirius agree but it seemed Narcissa and Andromeda did as well. Lupin was to overcome by the statement to say anymore and simply nodded as the emotions swirled in his eyes. Allowing the man to regain his composure Morgan turned her attention to Ted, "Uncle Ted, I'll need to go the Gringotts, so I can take my place as Lady Black. I'd like you to be my Solicitor, as we've planned from the beginning," she said as the man nodded.

"I'll schedule the meeting as soon as possible and collect the necessary documents," He said as Andromeda smiled by his side. While it had been planned for a long time, it still made the middle Black Sister proud that her husband's hard work was paying off. Even if they were family, representing a Noble and Most Ancient House would do well for Ted's business. Finally, it was time for Dora's part in this meeting as Morgan turned to the young woman with her signature spikey bubblegum pink hair.

"With 'Mad-eye' involved I would hazard a guess that some Aurors will be used in Harry's protection detail?" Morgan asked the young woman who gave a nod in reply. "Then you must get yourself into the detail. On your first or second watch, Sirius and I will make the trip to Little Whinging," she said calmly.

"Is that really a good idea? What if Sirius is seen?" Remus interrupted as he looked at the pair. The concern seemed to be shared by Dora and Ted, however Andromeda and Narcissa's reactions remained unreadable, as they had known the plan for some time.

"Harry doesn't know me, so if I show up alone or with someone other than Sirius he might not trust me," Morgan explained. "While I'm sure Harry trusts you as well, Dumbledore won't be watching Sirius as closely, assuming he will stay put at Grimmauld Place because he's a wanted man. That also means Sirius is the least likely to be sent on errands by the man, so least likely to be missed," she explained which had the Werewolf nod in agreement at the assessment. "However, once we have rescued Harry there is another problem."

"Dumbledore," Dora answered as she watched Morgan, guessing where the young woman was going.

"Right, since it will be on your watch that we get Harry, it is likely he will suspect that you had a hand in Harry's disappearance. We'll need to find someone we can trust to keep him from sending Aurors after you," Worry lacing Morgan's words. It was no secret to those gathered, except for maybe Remus, that Morgan had strong feelings for the Metamorph and often worried about her.

"He can bloody well try!" Dora snapped as her hair shifted to red.

"Nymphadora!" Andromeda said sharply, to which Dora narrowed her eyes at the use of her full name, but at Andromeda's return glare she sighed and gave a muttered Sorry Mother as her hair changed to black before returned to its usual pink shade. Before the Medi-Witch continued. "Morgan is right, we will need someone in the DMLE we can trust."

"Madam Bones would be my first choice, she is the Head of the Department and not a member of the Order and would never work for Voldemort. I'm sure we can convince her to help us," Morgan said as everyone nodded in agreement. "Then we have our plan," she added with a smile, and with that the meeting was drawn to a close, no one needed reminding that nothing they had talked about left the room.

As everyone stood to leave Morgan spoke up once more, "Aunt Andi, Aunt Cissy, I could use your help with something…." She said as she looked at the two women as she stood. The pair shared a brief look before nodding and following their niece and soon to be Head of House as she left the study.

June 28, 1995 – Black Vacation Home

.

It had taken a few days to prepare for their meeting with the Goblins of Gringotts. As it turned out Dumbledore already planned to use 12 Grimmauld Place as the base for his Order. He contacted Sirius with his plans before the Animagus even had a chance to offer the Black Mansion to the Headmaster. However much to Dumbledore's annoyance he couldn't get control of the house's wards, though what they hadn't counted on was for him to put the house under a Fidelius Charm. That was a minor inconvenience as far as Morgan was concerned, they would worry about that when it was time. They had also managed to get Madam Bones on board with the plan, on the condition that she could meet with Harry sometime after they had rescued him. Dora was also added to Harry's protection detail, as a double agent for the Head of the DMLE.

So, it was that Morgan entered the Study to find Ted and Narcissa waiting for her, Sirius was at 12 Grimmauld Place while Andromeda had already left for work. The youngest of the Black sisters stepped in front of her soon to be Head of House to inspect the girl's clothes for any imperfections. It was no secret that Narcissa had always wanted a daughter and she often treated Morgan as such. Satisfied there was nothing wrong with the clothes she and Andi had helped Morgan pick out on Sunday she smiled. It was like something Bellatrix might wear, with tight black pants, heeled boots that the pants were tucked into that stopped just below Morgan's knees while the top was also black and had a corset built into it, all topped with Acromantula silk robes. Then she looked the young woman in the eyes, "Don't forget to check the Marriage contract. I just know something must be off with your mother's. She would never have gone along with those Lestranges or Voldemort. She changed too much after the contract was forced on her," Narcissa said with conviction and Morgan nodded and smiled to her Aunt.

"I know Aunt Cissy, and don't worry I'll check yours too. You're too good for that cheating scum," Morgan said as she hugged her aunt who smiled and hugged the girl back. She wasn't as worried about her own, but she was grateful to Morgan none the less. The stain of having to pretend to be Draco's mother would soon be a thing of the past. Slowly the two pulled apart and gave each other one more smile before Morgan turned to her uncle, "I'm ready Uncle Ted," she said with a smile.

With that, the man nodded as Morgan approached the fire place and with one last look towards her Aunt she took the powder and threw it on the fire causing the flames to turn green and stepped into then stating Diagon Alley before the world spun. With the practice of many years she stepped out on the other side and stepped aside to wait for her uncle as she cleaned the soot off herself. She was nervous but also excited and smiled as Ted stepped out of the fire place a few seconds after her. Making sure they were both clean of soot they then walked side by side to Gringotts.

.

The walk hadn't taken long, and the pair soon found themselves in a small conference room sitting across the table from the Black Family Account Manager and two armed guards who stood at the back of the room, and another goblin who had been introduced as Raglok. A small bowl had also been brought into the room and sat on its own stand to the left of the desk. "So, you are here about your inheritance," Roglok stated. It was not a question and the Goblin soon continued. "And it is your wish to become Head of House Black in the absence of any other eligible Heir?"

"Yes, it is," She said, as the Goblin looked over the pair with an impassive look.

"Very well, let us begin," Roglok said as he motioned to the goblin beside him.

"I am Gragnok, the Black Family Account Manager," He said as he motioned towards the bowl and its stand. "You must bleed into the bowl and prove you are indeed Morgan Black. Be warned human if you are not who you claim to be and knowingly take the test of Lordship anyway, then the consequences will be severe," he added as Morgan nodded and stood. Taking a deep calming breath as she moved to stand in front of the bowl and Looked in it. In the bowl laid an ornate dagger with a Black hilt adorned with a raven and a black jewel at the base. Picking up the dagger she slid the blade across her palm, hissing at the pain of the cut, then held her hand over the bowl and allowed the blood to flow into it.

"I Morgana Amelia Black, Daughter of Bellatrix Black and Bridgette Hawke, do hereby take my rightful place as Head of The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black and swear to stand for the House and all of its responsibilities. So I say, so I swear, so mote it be," she said as the bowl began to glow as it absorbed Morgan's blood. After a few moments, the bowl seemed to be satisfied as it glowed even brighter for a second and Morgan's hand healed itself without leaving a scar. Once the light faded a silver ring with stylized raven around a black gem that had the family crest engraved in it lay in the bowl. Morgan picked up the ring and placed it on the ring finger of her right hand and allowed it to resize to fit her before she smiled and returned to her seat.

"A word of caution Lady Black," Gragnok said, "Should anyone not of House Black attempt to wear the ring, they will experience extreme discomfort. Also, if their intent is found to be nefarious, the consequences will be far worse," the goblin explained, of course it was merely protocol.

"Do you have any more business Solicitor Tonks?" it was Roglok who spoke once more looked at the pair.

"Yes, two things actually," Morgan answered, "Firstly I want Andromeda Tonks nee Black reinstated into House Black, and to receive all the benefits of a loyal and worthy Daughter of Black," It had been part of the plan, however it seemed Ted had been left out of that part of it as the surprise was evident on his face. However, he soon smiled at his niece as attention turned back to the Goblins.

"Very well, it shall be done, and the second item?" Roglok asked as he looked at the new Lady Black.

"I would like to see the Marriage Contracts for Narcissa Malfoy and Lucius Malfoy, and Bellatrix Lestrange and Rudolphus Lestrange," she requested in a calm tone to hide her nerves, this was the moment of truth, they were about to find out if all their suspicions were correct.

Roglok nodded and motioned to Gragnok who produced the requested documents and passed them to Ted who examined the documents himself before sliding them to Morgan. The Goblins knew what the pair were looking for, and already knew the answer to their question. As Morgan took the contacts, she began reading over Narcissa's first, this was merely to delay looking at her mother's right away. She didn't want to be disappointed too quickly if they were wrong. The Goblins noticed this and allowed the new Lady Black all the time she needed. It was a foregone conclusion that Narcissa's marriage would be annulled as Lucius had broken the contract by having an affair. While it wasn't really a surprise for a wizard to have such affairs it was frowned upon, and especially bad if the affair resulted in a child being born.

Finally, Morgan set her aunt's marriage contract aside and picked up that of her mothers. Her eyes went wide as she noticed exactly what Narcissa had told her to look for, "So it's true… mum is under a slave contract…. How was this allowed?" she said as a fire lit in her blue eyes as she looked up at the Goblins.

"To our shame and regret we did not notice until it was already too late to stop it," Roglok said, anger clear in his voice. "It is a stain on our honor that we wish to amend. Alas, nothing could be done until a new head took their place as Lord or Lady Black. However, it will take some time to unravel the contract. But it will be easier since the last True head of House Black, at the time, was not the signee," the Goblin explained as Morgan nodded and took a calming breath. It seemed that Cygnus Black had been planning to overthrow Arcturus Black as Head of House Black and never got the man to approve the contracts, however as Cygnus was their father the contracts were still magically binding.

"Thank you. I must ask if I can take this with me for a meeting I have with the Head of the DMLE so I can start the process of freeing my mother, I will pay whatever cost is needed and return it after the meeting so you can begin the process of breaking the contract," she said as she looked at the Manager.

"You may, but there will be no need for any compensation for this, removing the stain on our honor is enough," Roglok replied much to the shock and surprise of both Morgan and Ted.

"Thank you Roglok," Morgan said as her eyes showed her emotions before she managed to hide them once more behind her mask. "Next, I would like to annul Narcissa Malfoy's marriage due to breach of contract and infidelity resulting in the illegitimate son of Lucius Malfoy," She added. It was no surprise the Goblins knew about that and had been prepared for this from the moment Narcissa had been forced to claim Draco was hers.

"It shall be done," Roglok said with a firm nod. With that their business was all but concluded, with little more left but minor paper work. It all went smoothly and soon Morgan and Ted were on their way back to the Black Vacation Home. The fact that Morgan had paid double the Goblin's price for annulling the marriage was not mentioned, everyone understood the new Lady Black's gratitude. The only reaction had been a brief and barely noticed arch of the Manager's eyebrow before it was gone, and he had nodded. Now the family could focus on the next part of their plan.

.

oOOo

.

The rest of the evening went smoothly upon the pairs return to the Black Vacation Home, with Sirius and Remus in and out as they had to keep up appearances at Grimmauld Place. Morgan had been slightly annoyed to hear that the Weasley's had moved in and were trying to treat the house like it was their own. Thankfully Kreacher was keeping them out of areas Morgan didn't want them to be, like her mother's room and her own. However, even with their restricted access to some of the rooms, which Sirius simply told them were locked with Family Magic, they were trying to "clean up" and remove darker items which they had to be warned multiple times to leave alone. Then there was that Mundungus Fletcher always trying to steal things, Kreacher having stopped him several times already.

Morgan had pushed the thoughts aside and after a small dinner made her way to her room to get some sleep. The events of the day had drained the new Lady Black and she was grateful when her head hit the pillow and she soon fell asleep. However, she was not to get a peaceful night's sleep as she had hoped, as soon a strange and very vivid dream had started.

First, she was somewhere in London running down the streets and into an alley all the while cold surrounded her. It was then that she realized she wasn't alone, Harry was with her and they were being chased by two large Dementors, as two more blocked the other end of the alley. Then the scene changed and she was in a dimly lit, circular room with three chairs, Harry was there also. The light of a blue flame caught Morgan's attention as it moved towards them. Almost as quickly as it had appeared it hit Harry who's face showed pain while his eyes held one question, why? Then he fell.

Morgan shot up in her bed with a gasp, she was drench in sweat as if she had just finished a training session. Her head hurt slightly but otherwise, she couldn't figure out why she had awoken so suddenly with such fear that made her heart pound in her chest, the dream forgotten as if it had never happened. She ran her fingers through her wet hair and cast a Tempus which showed it was only two in the morning. With a sigh, she got up to take a shower as she knew there was no way she was going to get back to sleep with her clothes, hair, and bed soaked through. As she showered Daisy replaced the bedding with clean sheets for her Mistress. After the refreshing shower and change of clothes she climbed back into bed and fell back to sleep for the rest of the night.

July 8, 1995 – Little Whinging, Surrey, England

.

In the days following Morgan becoming Lady Black the news of Lucius and Narcissa's annulment had been all over the Daily Prophet, that the head of a Noble House had an affair that resulted in an illegitimate child was a stain on the family that would damage Lucius' reputation for a long time. Most Families did not want to deal with a house that had such a black mark against them, even Cornelius Fudge was keeping his distance from the man who had helped buy his seat as Minister of Magic.

Finally, Dora's first watch on Harry had come and it was time to rescue him from the Dursley's. The fact that it was also Morgan's birthday didn't bother her too much. This was more important than her 16th Birthday, as it was a family matter. Besides they had spent most of the day celebrating and there would still be some celebrations when they returned with Harry. The crack of an apparition, which would likely be ignored as a car backfire broke the silence of the calm summer night. Two figures appeared on the street a few blocks away from their destination. The pair walked in silence until they reached 4 Privet Drive and walked up to the door. Nymphadora Tonks was watching from her post under an invisibility cloak, across the street as the shorter of the pair knocked on the door.

The pair were dressed in black cloaks that could easily hide their appearances, since they didn't want Sirius to be recognized. The one who knocked pulled the hood off to reveal her long black hair. A small smirk came to her lips as they could already hear the man inside complaining about someone knocking on the door "at this hour." Before pulling the door open to reveal the Walrus of a Man that was Vernon Dudley. "Who are you? What do you want?" the man snapped at the pair.

Morgan hid her annoyance behind her mask, "We are here to pick up Harry Potter," she said calmly. At her words, Vernon's eye went wide, and his face turned red as he looked at the girl.

"Y-your one of those Freaks! Well, I won't have you in my house! There is no Potter here!" Vernon snapped as his face moved from red to purple in color.

"I think we both know Harry is here, besides if he's not then my companion would be most upset," Morgan's voice remained calm only showing a hint of anger at being called a freak. "Vernon Dudley, meet Sirius Black, Harry's Murderous Godfather, here to collect his Godson," the Walrus of a man blanched at that and sputtered as he slowly stepped aside. Petunia finally growing curious enough to find out who was calling so late stepped into the hall.

"What's going on Vernon?" the horse faced woman asked. Vernon just shook his head and moved between his wife and the pair as they entered the house.

"N-no one dear just go back in the lounge," Vernon managed to say as Sirius and Morgan looked around.

"I'll fetch Harry, you keep them company," Morgan said as Sirius took off his hood finally.

"Gladly, I think we need to have a chat about the Health of my Godson," Sirius said with his best Marauder smile, which he usually had just before he pulled a prank.

"Don't hurt them too much," Morgan said with a small giggle. Of course, she was only teasing, she knew he wouldn't do anything as she made her way up the stairs. It wasn't hard to find Harry's door as it was the one with several locks on it.

Inside Harry was reading a very sparse letter from Hermione, he had heard the door but figured it didn't concern him, so he remained in his room not in the mood to deal with the Dursleys tonight. That was until he heard a knock on his bedroom door. In confusion, he put the letter down and opened the door to find a young woman standing there. "Harry Potter, I'm so glad to finally meet you. We don't have much time," Morgan said with a smile.

"Wait, who are you?" Harry asked in confusion, "We Don't have much time for what?" he added as he looked past the girl to see if there was anyone else in the hall way.

"We'll have time for full introductions later but for now, there is someone waiting down stairs who would very much like to see you. Don't worry about your stuff I'll take care of packing," Morgan replied as she stepped into the room and swished her wand and Harry's things began to pack themselves in his trunk, Morgan nearly jumped as a loose floorboard sprang up and Harry's more treasured possessions began to pack themselves. Harry had to stop himself from laughing at the girl's reaction as he smiled sheepishly. "Go on, I'll be down shortly," She added as she noticed he hadn't moved. After another moment of hesitation, Harry slowly made his way out of the room and down the stairs not sure what to expect. However, his eyes lit up as he saw Sirius and Morgan could hear the two greeting each other loudly, which brought a smile to her face. As Harry's things packed themselves Morgan opened the window and turned to the Snowy Owl that had been watching her from the perch on the worn-out desk.

"You're Hedwig, right? This is Artemis," She said as a Barn Owl landed on the window seal, "She can lead you where we're going if you follow her. Don't worry we're here to help Harry and get him away from these nasty Muggles," The Proud Owl seemed to stare at Morgan for a long moment and she couldn't help but feel the owl was weighing her very soul before it gave what looked like a nod and followed Artemis out of the window, Morgan waved after the two owls before closing the window and turned back to the now packed trunk. She then shrunk it down to a more manageable size and carried it down stairs to meet Sirius and Harry "Alright boys, it's time to go. Don't worry Hedwig is with my owl and on their way to meet us," She said as she handed Harry his shrunken trunk.

With that, the three left the house without another word to the Dursleys as Harry and Sirius chatted. Dora joined the group as they walked down the street and turned down an alley. "Alright Harry we're going to Apparate, well you and me will be side-alongs. A word of warning, the first time can be… unpleasant," Morgan said calmly.

"What do I do?" Harry asked as he looked at Morgan, still wondering who she and the woman who had joined them was. But if Sirius trusted them than he would too.

"Just hold my arm and I'll take care of the rest Pup," Sirius said with a smile as Harry nodded and did so as he watched Morgan take the pink-haired woman's arm a well. Then with two pops the four disappeared from Little Whinging
