*~*~*~*~*
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.

"Lysienne, I know I hurt you last night, and I would like to apologize. It was something I felt I had to do, given the circumstances..."
Lysienne bit her lips, hands clenching in her lap. "You mean, you didn't trust me even when you said you did, and you needed to test me to see if I could have betrayed the Order to Professor Snape."
Lupin ran a hand uncomfortably through his hair. "I'm afraid that is exactly correct. If there was--is--a flaw in the Order's plans, it is that we are leaving vulnerable children with one of the most powerful Legilimens alive. That is why you know so little. And yet, that would have been enough to derail all our plans last night. So when I heard about your conversation with Professor Snape, I...well, I panicked. Though I have to admit I did not expect you to be quite so sensitive. "
Lysienne frowned fiercely down at her fists. "Syrien once said that to invade another person's mind was to commit a crime on the same level as casting one of the Unforgivable Curses."
"Did he?" Lupin leaned forward. "That is your guardian, I take it? I guess I can't really disagree, though of course we all hide behind the excuse of 'extenuating circumstances'..." He sighed again. "Lysienne, I know that I have betrayed your trust in me, perhaps for good. But there is a favor I need to ask of you..."
