10. RESCUE MISSION

Sirius Black was in prison for 12 years, so he definitely needed new clothes, and so he went on a shopping spree and he bought himself all the clothes he could ever dream of. And of course, Elara got herself a ton of stuff too. She still loved her leather jacket, of course she did, but she would never say no to new clothes.

She also couldn't help herself and bought clothes and other things for Theodore, as he was now officially living with them. He couldn't exactly go back to his father, and all his other family were basically the same as Nott Sr. She spoiled him and bought them clothes in a similar fashion, considering they had similar tastes in clothing.

The day eventually arrived for Harry to be brought to Grimmauld Place, and Dumbledore had used their home as a meeting place for everyone to discuss how he would be brought over. But, before he could even start the conversation, Elara climbed atop the dinner table and cleared her throat. "Hello! Good evening everyone! If I could please have your attention! And yes, that includes you Professor Dumbledore." She looked at the man who was conversing with someone sat near him, despite that person trying to listen to Elara.

"Lara, please, get down." Theodore whispered up to her.

"No, Theodore. I'll be fine. Alright. So, before anyone volunteers to get Harry from those monsters, I will say that I am the obvious choice, considering I am his god sister, and I'm very good with magic, I have telekinesis should it come to that, and I say that I'm going, so no objections. Oh, and I'm taking Theodore with me."

Suddenly someone from the back of the room yelled, "But he's a Slytherin!"

Elara raised her eyebrows. "And your bloody point is? I'm a Slytherin too. Andromeda Tonks was a Slytherin. Merlin himself was a Slytherin. So, do not try and pull that bullshit on me. This is not a house of judging people for pathetic things like that. Understood? Anyone with a problem with Slytherins, come and find me, and we can have a little conversation that won't involve much talking."

And with that, she glared at everyone, grabbed Theodore's hand and dragged him upstairs to their rooms. As they stood outside her uncle Regulus' room, she looked at Theodore. "10 minutes, and then we meet at the front door, alright?"

"You got it." He mock saluted and watched her walk into her room. Theodore got dressed in a short sleeved, dark green shirt with a leather jacket over top. He paired it with some black jeans and a pair of black boots. Then he added some fingerless gloves and put his wand in a holster, preferring to have it, even if he couldn't use it.

When he got to the front door, he saw Elara had on her leather jacket and under it, a lacy black top and some black jeans. Then on her feet were some black boots and some fingerless gloved adorned her hands.

Her wand was also tucked into a holster wrapped around her thigh, but she could actually use it. They walked outside and Theodore turned to face her. "Hey, Lara. What do you want for your birthday?"

"My birthday!" Her eyes widened. "This is going to be the first one with my father back."

"I'm sure it's going to be amazing, I mean, it's going to be at Hogwarts, and knowing your father, he will make it the most extravagant thing ever, as he can't come and see you. I'm just glad it isn't at the house, as much as I love it there, it is quite dirty." Theodore snickered.

"Oh shush. It's gotten way better than it was originally. Trust me, my father wouldn't stop complaining in his letters to me. It was annoying."

"Only you would find letter from your ex-convict father boring."

"Want me to tell him to send them to you instead?"

"Oh, please don't." They both laughed. Elara stopped in the middle of the road as they were almost at an alleyway and turned to the side to face her best friend.

She wrapped him in a hug and leaned her head on his shoulder. "What's this all about?"

"I just- I love you Theo. You know that, right?" Theodore's heart skipped a beat hearing that, and he wished she was saying it in a slightly different context.

"I know Lara. I love you too." And for some reason, Elara felt her heart flutter at that statement, and she didn't even know why. But she tried to ignore it, and shook her head, then held her hand out for him to grab.

He took it and laced his slender fingers with hers, sending a rush of warmth through both of their bodies. They approached an old can on the ground that had a light blue aura around it. Elara sent Theodore a look, "Ready?"

"To threaten people? Fuck yes." He smirked before touching the can with his foot. It transported both him and the younger Black to Privet Drive, right in front of Harry's house.

Elara took her wand out of its holster, and let go of Theodore, who grabbed his wand too, even if he couldn't use it, it gave him a sense of comfort. Elara marched up to the front door and pressed the doorbell.

It rang sharply through the house, causing Harry to look up. He knew someone was coming to get him, and he was ready to leave this hell of a house. His uncle Vernon stood and headed to the door, grumbling.

He swung it open. "What the hell do you wa-" and stopped when he saw Elara pointing her wand at his throat with a smirk on her face.

"Hi." She spoke in a sugary sweet tone, keeping the smirk. "Mind letting us in, darling? We've got a few things to discuss, and I'm here for my dear god brother. Oh, Harry!" She called into the house.

Harry ran over to the door and once he saw his god sister, a huge smile appeared on his face, and he tackled her in a hug. She laughed and hugged him back. He saw Theodore and sent her a confused look. "I'll explain when we get back, everyone else is here today, so you can all find out why he's here at the same time. Now, let's go in, I want to talk to your family."

Harry moved out of the way happily, allowing Elara and Theodore to enter. She grabbed Vernon's shoulder and dragged him with them, pushing him onto the couch when they got in. Then she called out, "Oh Petunia. Dudders! I know you're here, and you'd better come down before I do something you'll regret and I won't."

Vernon scowled from his position on the couch. "You're a psycho." Theodore scowled and whipped his wand out, holding it very close to Vernon's neck.

"Say that again, I dare you." He threatened in a menacing tone. Petunia came out of the kitchen frightfully, Dudley right behind her, hands clapped over his mouth. And Elara remembered the prank that the twins had pulled on him the previous summer and grinned.

"Oh, hi Tuney. Take a seat will you? You too, big D. We've got so much to talk about." Once they had joined Vernon on the couch, Elara waved her wand and summoned a chair for her and then straddled it, looking at the Dursleys.

She began talking, with the tip of her wand glowing a dangerous red. "So, I heard you haven't been treating dear Harry very well. And I'm here to tell you, that you shouldn't have done that, because I will not let it pass over easily. You won't have to worry about Harry anymore loves. He won't be coming back here."

Harry looked up at her in shock. "What?" He whispered. Elara looked down at him, with a soft smile on her face, a contrast to the menacing smirk that was on it moments before.

"I don't give a fuck what Dumbledore says, you're coming to live with us. And he can't do a single thing about it, or I'll tell everyone what he did to my father." Elara placed her hand on Harry's shoulder. "Run and get your trunk, we're leaving."

Harry left to go upstairs and Elara found a little pen on the table and used her telekinesis to play with it, lifting it up and down and tossing it to Theodore, then having him toss it back. They eventually heard Harry coming down the stairs and Elara left the room and headed for the stairs. Her godbrother stood there, his trunk clutched in one hand, and in his other his broom and Hedwig's cage. She held her hand out and he gave her the owl.

"Right, we'll be leaving. Goodbye and good riddance." She grinned, before leaving the house with the two boys behind her. On the ground was another Portkey and Elara grabbed Harry's hand, and Theodore placed his hand on her shoulder. "Let's go." She touched the can with her foot and they were sucked into it and transported back to 12 Grimmauld Place.
