*notes: 'Harriet Thinking'

Harriet Potter woke up with a start.

"Shh Harriet calm down, you're safe." said a familiar voice.

"What where am I?"she mumbled back.

"The headquarters of The Order of The Phoenix, or Sirius' childhood home."

"The what?"

"Here," he handed Harriet her glasses. "you might want to be able to see."

Harriet took her glasses, rubbed her eyes and put them on. She blinked a bit then made eye contact with one of her parents best friends, Remus Lupin, a werewolf and her old defense against the dark arts professor. 

"Hello Professor. I am sorry but where did you say we are?"

"Call me Remus, I am not your professor anymore. But we are at Sirius' childhood home, 12 Grimmauld Place. And like I said its the headquarters for The Order of The Phoenix, a group of people who actively fight against Voldemort." explained Remus.

Harriet nodded and said "I see, so where is everyone else?" she couldn't forget being left in the dark, but Sirius is a escaped criminal and he was with Remus, but everyone else doesn't have a excuse.

"They are in the kitchen eating right now. You should see Sirius right now." he chuckled. "He was so worried about you. Kept getting worried that the dementors kissed you. He keeps bugging everyone to see if you're okay."

Harriet smiled "Well can we go downstairs?"

Remus chuckled "Of course, let's go." and he helped her out of the bed.

The two made their way through the old house and finally made it to the kitchen. When they went inside Hermione went to hug her.

Harriet held up her hand before Hermione got to her. "Stop. Don't you have something to say before you go and think everything is alright?" questioned Harriet.

Ron and Hermione looked confused, but Ron was the one who spoke up. "Mate, what are you talking about? What do we have to say?"

Hermione looked like she finally understood and said "Oh my, we barely sent you letters. But it was on Dumbledore's order to keep you safe, I swear!"

Harriet shook her head at them and asked "What about muggle post 'mione?"

"The death eaters could have tracked your mail mate!" exclaimed Ron.

"Ron, they wouldn't have taken the time to check muggle post addressed to 'Harriet Potter'. You might think they are insane, but to be honest I think they just might have better things to do. Don't you think?" questioned Harriet.

"Oh Harry we just weren't thinking, but it was to keep you safe." pleaded Hermione.

"So why is this place safe then?" asked Harriet.

Sirius seemed to think that was a good time to talk and said "It is under the Fidelius charm and the secret keeper is Dumbledore."

Harriet rolled her eyes. "And can someone explain to me why this place was unsafe for me from the beginning if everyone else was safe here? I mean why was I placed in a muggle home instead of with my muggleborn friend, the whole Weasley family, and not to mention my godfather. Also, correct me if I am wrong, but aren't I Voldemort's main target? So shouldn't I be informed on the moves he is making and how dangerous places are, who to be wary of etc.?"
