Chapter One: Goodbye Hogwarts

"Everyone take a seat, please." Dumbledore calmly said from his podium over the voices of the Order members. Wow he has authority. As soon as he asked them to be quiet, they became quiet instantly.

"Are there any new members?" Professor Snape asked. He was sitting in the front row chairs. How did he ever become a professor? The greasy tit was annoying and was not a good teacher.

"Why yes, Severus. Some of the graduating seventh years have decided to join us. Can our new members come up here, please?" Dumbledore asked. My friend, Johana, some other kids, and I walked up to the front of the small classroom that the meeting was being held in. We were first to be shown as members. "Johana and Jennifer have proven themselves worthy through their spying and interrogating skills." Dumbledore said once we were all in a neat line facing the seated people. "They have asked to be able to join, even though they are young. Would you like to join us, girls?" Dumbledore's eyes twinkled under his half-moon spectacles.

"Yes." Johana, who standing next to me, said.

"Yes." I said. This has been my dream. Ever sense my parents had been put under the imperious curse by my sister, I had wanted to fight. Now I have that chance!

"Good." Dumbledore said. As I walked back to my spot I noticed eyes following me. My mother had been secretly part of the Order, so I could guess that's what they're whispering about. I was always told that my sister and I looked like her. The meeting went on and twenty-two others became members. Soon, it was time to go back to our dorms.

"It's been ten years sense the start of the war." I said as Johana and I laid down in our beds.

"Hopefully it will end soon." Johana said, already falling asleep. Hopefully, but for now we'll fight on. It's getting close to the end of my seventh year anyway, so I'll be able to help more. Mr. Olivander has already promised me a job and Johana and I were going to stay at Grimauld Place with Sirius and some of the other Order members. But for now, I have to study.

"What did you get on your NEWTs?" Johana asked.

"I got either outstanding or exceeds expectations on all of mine." I answered. Holy cow, I did it! I had passed my NEWTs! When the war's over, I might become an Auror. That would be fun.

"Same with me!" Johana squealed.

"Will you two shut up?" asked the annoyed Hannah, the other Gryffindor in our room. I guess she was trying to sleep.

"Sorry, Hannah. We'll be quiet." I said. Johana and I were almost in tears from holding in our laughter. I don't even know why we were laughing. Maybe it was just the stress laughing at everyone and everything.

"You better be." Hannah muttered as she fell back asleep. Poor her. She hasn't caught the happy bug yet. Oh well. There is a lot to kill the happy bug lately, but it won't die in me. No matter what happens, I will always have hope.

Soon, I found myself at the last feast I'd ever have at Hogwarts. I'll miss the castle and most of my teachers, hint to Snape. I'll miss the friends I've made, but I can't wait to help the Order.

Jenn." Professor McGonagall said to me in the hallway as I was heading to my dorm after the feast. "Please be careful." She looked really worried, almost as if I was planning to go after Voldemort himself.

"I'll be fine, Professor." I said. Wow she looked freaked.

"I heard you joined the Order. You'll bring great things to it, just don't get hurt." Wow again. Did strict Professor McGonagall just show emotion? Maybe I should mark it on the calendar. The press will want to hear about this! Okay, maybe I'm over exaggerating.

"Hey Jenny!" the annoying Jacob, who had also joined the Order of Phoenix, called from behind me. "Wait up!" Professor McGonagall walked away. Why did she have to leave me with that twerp?

"What do you want, Jacob?" I said as I stopped and looked behind me.

"I'm going to be staying at Grimauld Place too." Oh no. "I was curious if you wanted to share a room with me?" he said. He'll never get the clue that I don't like him at all. I hope he will get it one of the many days we'll be spending "quality" time together. Hopefully.

"Jenn's my roommate already." Johana said as she went in between us. Thank you Johana! "Sorry Jacob." we quickly ran into the crowd and Jacob disappeared as we were swallowed up by the kids heading to their dorms.

"Thanks, Johana, for saving me back there." I said once we were far enough away from Jacob the twerp. I don't want to break his heart, but I just find him annoying to be around.

"Even I wouldn't sacrifice my best friend to the clutches of a boy she doesn't like hitting on her." She said, faking a noble look that caused us to break out laughing. The kids around us were staring daggers at us, as if it was outlawed to laugh during the war. If it is a crime to laugh, Johana and I'll be in Azkaban in no time.

The night went on, and I partied with the rest of the graduating class. All my stuff was already packed up for tomorrow. It was hard packing up and saying goodbye for the last time. I'll miss everyone except for Snape. I really don't want to leave my home, but I don't really get a choice. Tomorrow I'll be gone.

"Hey Jenn, why aren't you dancing?" called Sammy, one of my friends. I was just taking a break! She helped out the Order in some way had helped or another last year, so she was an Order member before I was. I'm not exactly sure what happened and Sam won't tell anyone.

"Coming Sam." I said, sighing as I stood up. Might as well have some fun while I'm here.

"Come on!" Johana yelled as she and Sam pulled me to my feet and dragged me to the dance floor that had been made in a big area of the Great Hall. I liked my spot on the Gryffindor table. I was comfortable in my small spot. Too bad they had to ruin it. As the night went on, I found myself enjoying dancing with my friends for the last time. The night seemed to pass extra quickly when I started having fun. I soon found myself in my bed, thinking about everything. Tomorrow I'll be part of the wizarding world. I'll be starting my job at Olivander's Wand Shop. Times are sure changing.
