*~*~*~*~*

Ora stuffed her sash and a spare change of clothes in her bag, and bounded down the stairs to grab her winter coat from the closet in the hallway. "Mum! Dad! I'm ready!" she shouted, stuffing her arms through the sleeves and doing a quick check through the list in her mind to make sure she had packed everything she needed, and everything that would make it seem like she was going to a legitimate sleepover at the Burrow.

"Mm hm," Ora's father said simply as he folded his copy of The Daily Prophet and set it down on the sitting room table. He shot his daughter a dubious look. Ora smiled up at him cheerfully, as if nothing was wrong. She mitigated it a little when her father's look turned more severe.

"You know if you get lost, Ora, you're breaking curfew."

Ora rolled her eyes. "Yeah, Dad, I know. But I'm eighteen! I can Apparate properly; I'm not going to get lost or end up in the middle of the woods."

Ambassador Yang's mouth twitched as if he didn't completely believe his daughter, but had to actually refrain from telling her so. "I'll leave the wards down for five minutes," he said simply, drawing his wand from the fold of his robes, "so if you get lost you can Apparate back."

"Okay, Dad," Ora said. She rolled her eyes again.

"Have you got everything?" Ora's mum asked. She rose from the couch and looked pointedly at Ora's bag.

"Yup," Ora said with a nod. "And if not, I'm sure Alison can lend me something."

"Toothbrush?"

Ora nodded. "Packed it already, Mum."

Ora's mother simply nodded and smiled, and came around the sofa to give her daughter a hug and a kiss. "Well, Happy New Year, and enjoy the night with your friends."

"Thanks!" Ora gave her mum and dad a hug and a kiss each. Her father still did not look entirely happy as he closed his eyes and hummed the chant to lift the anti-Apparition wards surrounding their house, but Ora still managed a smile as she waved and then thought very hard of the Burrow.

*~*~*~*~*

Ottery St. Catchpole was even colder than London, and even in a thick scarf and coat Ora was shivering. She had appeared about one hundred meters out from the Burrow, and was throughly cold by the time she got to the door and lifted a hand to knock politely at it. Even though the house seemed quiet from the outside, Ora wondered if anyone would hear here--after all, she could not imagine that a rescue the proportions of breaking in and out of Azkaban would take any less than a good chunk of the Order.

Alison hadn't even gotten to properly examine her Christmas presents - that healing potion would certainly come in handy, she'd told Lysienne gratefully, and she was still excited to try out her new Quidditch goggles - when not only had Ron sent his hot chocolate flying all over the kitchen, but the Order meeting appeared to have ended and Mrs. Weasley brought everyone over to be briefed.

Alison opted for sitting in the armchair nearest the couch, figuring that now was not the time to fling herself down between the twins - Mrs. Weasley had been watching all three of them like a hawk, and she did not want to get on the woman's bad side tonight. Things were tense enough as it was - though they actually didn't seem all that tense, it was almost the lack of tension that was more uncomfortable.

She listened carefully as Mrs. Weasley instructed them on their tasks and how to use the Portkeys - really, having password-activated Portkeys was a brilliant idea, Alison thought. It took care of many of the things she'd been worried about, like unforseen hitches or delays, which would undoubtedly happen no matter how well things were planned.

But the news of Professor Snape's warning was apparently too important for the Order to ignore, and the girls and Ron were once again herded out of the room. Alison tried to catch George's eye, mouthing, What is that supposed to mean? but all she got back was a grin, a shrug, and a mouthed, You'll find out soon enough. At least, that's what she thought he'd said.

Ron was even moodier now that his rather low opinion of Professor Snape had been disregarded, so the girls clustered together on the opposite side of the room, casting nervous glances amongst themselves. "If he knew enough to warn us, then that means the Death Eaters must know something too," Alison said nervously, glancing at Lysienne, wondering if her friend had noticed anything else about him. "What if they're waiting for the Order to show up at Azkaban or something?" She frowned, biting her lip. She did not want anyone to come back missing another body part. Or worse, not come back at all...

She sighed, trying to look at the bright side. "Well, at least we'll be out of most of the action. We're a lot safer than any of the rest of them, that's for sure. One missing ear is enough," she murmured - the less danger the better.

[OOC: I think the ideas for partner assignments (Ora and Lysienne and Alison and Kahvi) are just fine, more chances to interact among ourselves! :D And I think you covered most of the things we'd be doing, so we should be good to go once things are settled with Snape's warning. XD]
