She was feeling more like her usual self than she had in ages. Perhaps being chased through her house by werewolves had been all she'd needed all along to rip off those last layers of depression. For the time being, at least. There was no saying what would and wouldn't make a reappearance, but for now she was feeling oddly energized. It helped to have a goal… a mission to accomplish. The mission was purifying her house. Make her home safe again. The wards needed rekeying, as Remus had said, but obviously what they'd had hadn't been good enough. Dora was going to change that.
There were spells, hexes, curses, and potions in the house at Grimmauld place that most respectable witches and wizards would never dream of using. Usually Dora wouldn't have either, but when it came to protecting the life she as trying to build, she was willing to do almost anything.
Harry probably wouldn't have completely approved if he'd known exactly what she was doing here; exactly why she'd needed him to let her into the house. There was no real reason that he needed to be with her to give her access. Dora was sure she could have gotten into the house by herself if she'd so wanted, but sneaking in without telling Harry would have seemed wrong. It was his, after all, even if she technically was of the lineage who'd lived there so long. Besides, she'd meant it when she'd said that he was the only one who knew how to properly shut up the late Mrs. Black.
True to her word, she waited for Harry on the street in front of the house. The muggles passing her by were giving her pink hair and heavily bandaged arm odd looks, but she just smiled back brightly at them while she waited.
