⤷ 09| QUIDDITCH AND ARGUMENTS

June, who was in the team with Harry, Fred and Bill, took off and grabbed the Quaffle, who was thrown by Hermione.

They played until both Harry and Charlie had seen the Snitch. Everyone stopped and watched as the two Seekers dove towards the golden ball. June could tell both of them were extremely good, but it was Harry who managed to grab it.

"Great job, cousin," June said, ruffling his hair. She then flew over to Charlie. "You know, you aren't so bad yourself."

Charlie placed his hand over his heart. "What a compliment from the great Juniper Black!"

"Shut it," June said, laughing. "I'm not as great as everyone says I am."

"I think you are."

June's hazel eyes snapped up at his reply and Charlie's cheeks burned up.

"Thank you," she eventually said, smiling at him.

"June, come on!" Fred called from the other side of the backyard. "We're giving them a rematch!"

They played until dinner was ready. Juniper placed her broom aside before taking a seat next to Harry.

"I realised I haven't asked you how you are," June said. She hadn't had a serious conversation with Harry in a while and she wanted to make up for it. "How are you, Harry?"

"My scar hurt again," he said quietly, so that no one but June could hear him. "And I had a dream."

Juniper's expression became serious. "When?"

"When I was still at the Dursley's," Harry replied. "What do you think it means, June?"

The black haired frowned. "Last time your scar hurt, Voldemort was near, right?"

Harry nodded.

"And what about the dream? What did you see?"

Harry frowned. "I saw Wormtail and Voldemort," he said, very quietly. "They were plotting to kill —" he hesitated, but eventually went with "— someone."

"Wormtail?" June whispered. "But he's supposed to be in Azkaban!"

Harry shrugged.

Juniper pursed her lips. If something had happened to Pettigrew, Tonks would know about it.

"I'll ask Dora if Pettigrew escaped." The thought alone seemed impossible. Pettigrew wasn't nearly as smart as Sirius was. "In fact, I'll go right after dinner."

"I'm sure it can wait —"

"No, it can't," Juniper said. "If Pettigrew's out there, helping Voldemort, we need to know."

"What do we need to know?" a voice from the other side of her asked. June turned around and saw that Charlie was the one who had asked it.

"Er — I just need to check on something with Dora," June replied, hesitatingly.

"I can take you if you want —," Charlie began.

"Thank you!"

"— but only if you tell me what's wrong," he finished.
