As Harry stepped into the home of Andromeda Tonks, he was blown away. With it’s high ceilings and lavish decorations, it was almost regal in appearance. He was reminded to an extent of the Malfoy Manor, at least what little of it he had seen. Hermione and Ron trailed behind him, along with Mrs. Weasley. The rest of the Weasleys had either not been able to make it, or simply didn’t want to go. Ron had decided to go only out of reluctance, as well as several days of begging from Harry.
