⤷ 09| QUIDDITCH AND ARGUMENTS

Juniper and Harry exchanged a glance and the latter nodded. June looked back at the red haired man and nodded.

"Fine, but not here."

They finished dinner and Charlie and June stood up. Charlie came up with the lie that she had forgotten something she needed for school and he was going to bring her. After receiving a curious look from the twins that June chose to ignore, they left the backyard and she took his arm.

Juniper never liked Apparition, but it was the quickest way to get somewhere.

Her feet hit the ground and Charlie went with his hand through his messy hair.

"Glad that was over."

"Yeah, I don't like it either," June said, already making her way over to the Tonks' house.

"Hey! Wait up!" Charlie grabbed her arm. "You promised me some information."

"Harry dreamt of Voldemort and Pettigrew," June explained quickly, wanting it to be over so that she could question Tonks. "I'm going to ask Dora whether he is still in Azkaban or not."

"A dream?" Charlie looked warily. "That doesn't mean anything."

"Well, with Harry it does," June said. "Now, let's go!"

She turned around again and made her way over to the house. Without knocking, she pushed open the backdoor, making both Ted and Andromeda look up from where they were sitting in the couch.

"June! What are you doing here? Is everything all right?" Andromeda asked, getting up.

"I need to see Dora, is she here?"

"She's upstairs, but —" Ted began, but June had already passed him and was going for the stairs.

"Nymphadora!"

Ted turned back to his wife. "It must be a pretty big deal. June never calls Dora by her full name."

Juniper climbed the stairs, hearing the shower. She slammed the door open and Tonks' head popped up from next to the shower curtain.

"Junior, what —?"

"Did Pettigrew escape?"

Tonks looked at her, dumbfounded. "How did you know?"

"You let Pettigrew escape?!" June yelled. "How? He's Pettigrew! The only possibility for him to escape if you let him go willingly!"

"It's not as if we let him escape, Juniper," Tonks replied, taking a towel. "He caught us by surprise."

"Why are you so neutral about all of this? He betrayed your cousin!"

"I don't like it," Tonks snapped. "But believe it or not, Pettigrew is not our biggest concern."

"No, Voldemort is. And guess with who Pettigrew now is?"

Tonks narrowed her eyes. "How do you know that?"

"Harry had a dream —"

"You're basing it on a dream?" Tonks exclaimed while drying herself off. "Merlin June, I can't go to the Minister of Magic telling Pettigrew's with Voldemort just because Harry had a dream."

"They were planning to kill someone, Dora, and I think they mean Harry!"

The two of them fell silent. Tonks stared at June with an understanding glance.

"Junior," she began quietly, "Harry is safe. Dumbledore won't let anything happen to him."

Juniper crossed her arms. "Well, Dumbledore is not almighty."

"Don't let him hear you say that."

"It's the truth."

"I just have a bad feeling about this, Dora," June said, as the two of them walked from the bathroom to Tonks' bedroom. "Harry is somehow connected to Voldemort and he knows when something's going to happen."

"There is no safer place than Hogwarts," Tonks pointed out. "And we all know Voldemort's afraid of Dumbledore."

"That didn't stop him from sticking on the back of one of our Professor's head three years ago."

Tonks put on a shirt. "But everything turned out well, didn't it?"

"That's not the point," June said. "Harry was in danger in the first place."

"Junior, the boy attracts danger."

"You should have told me about Pettigrew anyway."

Tonks looked up at her. "I should've. I'm sorry I didn't." She then tilted her head. "How did you come here?"

"Charlie brought me,"June said, sitting down on the bed.

"So, Charlie huh?" Tonks grinned knowingly at Juniper.

"Stop doing that, it's creepy," June said.

"What's up between you two?" Tonks asked, sitting down next to her.

"Nothing!" June exclaimed. "We're just friends." She paused. "But I like him, I think."

"I knew it!" Tonks said, jumping up and dancing around. "My best friend and my sister, Merlin!"

"Will you keep it down?" June hissed. "He's right downstairs you know. And it's not as if we're together," she continued. "I'm sure he doesn't feel the same way."

"Are you dumb?" Tonks asked, seeming genuinely interested.

". . . I don't think so."

"Well, step out of it!"

". . . Out of what?"

"The ridiculous idea that Charlie doesn't like you!"

Juniper frowned. "He likes me?" She then looked at Tonks. "Did he say something to you?"

"He didn't have to."

Juniper stood back up, knowing her dear sister wouldn't tell anything else. "I should probably go, it's getting late."

"Don't forget to write me when your at Hogwarts, Junior," Tonks said, giving June a tight hug. "I'm going to miss you."

"I'm going to miss you, too, Dora."
