"Charlie!" The woman in question greeted them. She had sparkling blue eyes and a large smile. Ginny figured she would like her. "And you must be Ginny." She shook her hand and smiled at Charlie. "Your brother's been talking about you a lot."

"Good things, I hope?" Ginny asked smiling.

"He's been acting like a five year old waiting for you to come here." Vesper admitted, making Charlie protest.

"Hey! I resent that!"

"I meant a charming five year old, Weasley." The Weasley in question nodded and moved forward with his sister's suitcase while the two girls followed him laughing.

"I think I'm going to like it here." Ginny stated making Vesper giggle. The first day of her stay progressed in a very simple manner; it was meet and greet for the longest part but that included the dragons too, even if that was from a distance. She even saw Norberta -and not Norbert- the Norwegian Ridgeback her brother had sent over almost three years back. The volunteers all slept in the same house and she shared a room with Mary Campbell, a girl she had met in Hogwarts but had never talked to. She was blonde and quite shy but nice once she started to get out of her shell.

The first week passed mostly uneventfully; working was hard as the volunteers were mostly there for cleaning but it was more than fun. On her third day in the sanctuary, Ginny had even visited the nursery where three hatchlings were being held. She didn't want to give it to Hagrid but they were actually kind of cute… And she seemed to have a special talent with them. She had never approached older dragons, but the young ones reacted in a very peculiar way when she was around, one that she hadn't shared even with her brother.

Her everyday schedule was quite simple; wake up at eight, have breakfast, help wherever you're needed, lunch break, work, dinner, sleep and repeat. That's why it took Ginny sometime to realize what Mary was telling her when she woke her up at the crack of dawn.

"What?" She looked at her bedside table. "Mary, it's six thirty! After all that cleaning we did yesterday, I need my sleep!" But her roommate was far too excited to listen to her complaints.

"Come with me! You won't believe what's happening!" Instantly intrigued, Ginny rose from her bed and grabbed her wand -never hurt to be prepared- and followed her new friend out of the room. They walked down to the small living room of the house were Leonie and Edward were waiting, standing by the window and looking outside. Leonie was a sixteen year old brunette from Lyon. She studied at Beauxbatons and was quite friendly even if she was a bit quirky. She reminded Ginny a little bit of Luna Lovegood and that was enough to like her almost immediately. Edward was fifteen and blond, also a student in Beauxbatons; he was quite handsome, in a carefree way and had taken a liking to the two years younger redhead. Well, according to Mary at least.

"You won't believe what's happening! I woke up to get some water and look!" Leonie stated, pointing out from the window. "They're here!" Ginny turned to look at Mary who simply pushed her towards the window. Ginny walked closer and took a look outside; her brother and Paul, Mary's brother, were talking with two figures dressed in deep green cloaks.

"Who are they?" The redhead asked.

"They were here last year too." Edward answered. It was his second time in the sanctuary as he wanted to work as a trainer one day. "Well, not these two necessarily." He amended as Ginny sent him a look that clearly stated she wanted a complete answer. "They're from the Sisterhood." He explained; Ginny gasped.

"As in the Sisterhood?" Edward nodded and Ginny moved closer to the window. She couldn't see the faces of the strangers but she was certain now they were women. The Sisterhood was called like that for a reason after all. But could it be true? She had heard the stories of course but it seemed a little hard to believe these were actual members of the mysterious order of witches.

"What are they doing here?" Mary asked from Ginny's left.

"They're here for the dragons of course." Leonie offered. "They're supposed to be interested in magical creatures, no?" Ginny nodded in agreement as she studied the two women. She had never thought she would see a witch that belonged to the Sisterhood up close. They were a very secretive order of magic; many said they were once led by Morgana Le Fay herself but existed long before her. The Sisterhood was supposed to be consisted of witches that had special talents in rare fields of magic. Nobody knew how one became a member; all that was known was that it included a ritual and was one of the greatest honors a witch could be bestowed with.

Even if it was a small order in numbers, it was easily one of the most -if not the most- influential in the world. Just being a member caused you to be treated like royalty among wizards; and there even was royalty in their ranks. A real living princess, Evelyn of Norway. The royal families of the magical world didn't rule any more, and had not for centuries; it had been a long time since it was decided that wizards and witches would step down from ruling nations in the name of secrecy, but the offspring of these houses still retained their titles.

"Did they stay for long, last time?" Ginny asked, trying to focus on the conversation around her.

"Just a day." Edward said. "They come every year. They did arrive a bit early in the morning though." The two newcomers were led inside the main building of the sanctuary and Ginny stepped back from the window.

"Do you think we're going to meet them?" She asked the other teenagers.

"Well, we saw them last year; they ate with us and everything." Edward explained. "But they didn't speak much; mostly kept to themselves. Not that I would know what to say if they spoke to me!"

"Why not?" Asked Mary confused. "Are they frightening?"
