As far as she was concerned, there was nothing special about Cassidy Winters. She's simply a girl who drinks far too much coffee than she would like to admit and reads books to escape her life as an unwanted orphan. Then, when she appears in a world...

Cassidy's POV:
After an explanation as to who Mundungus was and meeting the man himself, Harry still seemed a bit shaken by the whole situation.
"So they've been tailing us?" Harry asked.
"Yeah," I answered. "Just keeping an eye on us. Dumbledore's orders."
"How do you know, girl?" Mrs. Figg asked.
"I know things," I said. "We should get moving"
Mundungus, after a few purse beatings from Mrs. Figg, left to go tell Dumbledore what has happened. Mrs. Figg took us to the Dursleys and we dropped off Dudley.
"I'm not going in there," I said. "The Dursleys are not fun people"
"Well, how are we getting to our room?" Harry asked.
"I can apparate you," I suggested as a joke.
Harry seemed to actually consider the idea and then proceeded to nod. I let out a snort at the spontaneity before I took his hand and apparated into his room.
"We need to start packing," I said as he hunched over, clutching his stomach.
"That was terrible," Harry breathed.
"Side-along apparition is terrible but it doesn't feel that bad when you are apparating yourself," I said while putting some clothes into my trunk.
"Where are we going?"
"The headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix."
"Really?" Harry said.
When I didn't respond he started packing too. That was until we were interrupted by an owl flying in through the window.
"It's going to say you're expelled from Hogwarts," I said holding up the letter to him.
"What!?" Harry ripped open the letter and read it a few times.
"Don't worry you won't be expelled," I informed him.
"What-?"
We were once again interrupted by an owl. I recognized it as Errol.
"Oh, here we are," I grabbed the letter and read aloud:
"Harry, Dumbledore's just arrived at the Ministry, and he's trying to sort it all out. Do not leave your aunt and uncle's house. Do not do any more magic. Do not surrender your wand. Arthur Weasley."
"Sort it out? How much power does Dumbledore have... especially after all those articles," Harry asked.
"I'm not sure but I really don't wanna stay here."
