Olivia had been busy at the Burrow. When she arrived Dumbledore had wrote her saying that she needed to master the Patronus charm, as a form to communicate with the other order members.

So thankful, after everyone went to bed, Mr.Weasley stayed up late with her helping her practice. They had been at it for two days now, and Olivia was on the verge of a corporeal patronus.

In the beginning it had been a struggle for Olivia, for the fact that her nightmares were stronger now, and she couldn't help but think of Cedric so often.

"I can't thank you enough Mr.Weasley, for helping me with this...." Said Olivia in the garden with the man.

"No thanks needed dear," he said with a smile, "okay how about you give it a go? You was so close last time."

Olivia nodded her head and stood a few feet away from him. She focused in on trying to find a stronger happy memory.

She had used, meeting the twins, but didn't work. She used being adopted, but still nothing.

Olivia looked around at the garden and it made her think of last year. The night before they left for the Quidditch World Cup, and everything was fine in the world.

Olivia closed her eyes, and focused on the memory. She thought about laughing with the Weasleys around the table, about bumping heads with Charlie and that thought alone made her laugh. Olivia then thought about the strawberry ice cream and how she felt under the stars. But her favorite part was when the smell of Honeysuckles drifted through the air and she tilted her head back enjoying the moment.

"Expecto Patronum!"

Olivia opened her eyes as she seen the silvery light come out of the tip of her wand, and watched as the light formed into a silvery dragon.

She smiled wide, seeing her dragon take flight around her and Mr.Weasley, he wore a face of a proud father.

"Well done! Well done Ollie!" He said happily.

Mr.Weasley then showed her how to use her patronus to communicate with, after she got the hang of it, they retired for the night.

Olivia had been at the Burrow for a week, until she received a letter from Snape, telling her to come home. She tried her best to make up excuses about why she needed to leave the Weasleys, so they wouldn't suspect anything.

It would have been noticeable if she left with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to go to order meetings, and Olivia felt that she wanted to respects their wishes not to inform their children until they wanted to.

When she apparated to Cokeworth she found Snape in his study. She greeted him with a smile, "Have you missed me terribly?" She said plopping herself into one of the arm chairs.

"We have a meeting soon. Here take this paper and hold on to it until I tell you to get it back out." He said to Olivia sliding a small piece of parchment across the desk, she put it in her pocket. "I know you can apparate on your own but it would be easier if you just went side-along with me. So let's go, bring a cloak."

Olivia tried to not let his sternness bother her, grabbed her cloak, and they left. When her feet hit the ground the stood in front of a row of townhouses.

"Get out the parchment and read it to yourself." He told her, and she followed his instructions.

When she read the words she noticed that the handwriting was Dumbledore's, and when she looked up to ask Snape about it, she was shocked to see a new townhouse added between the ones she had seen before.
