Prologue
Dumbledore stared at the clock as it chimed 6:00 p.m. at the Order of the Phoenix headquarters. He dreaded days like this when he would have to put someone else's life on the line. He new that the order needed all the help they could get with Voldemort on the rise but decisions like this where never easy.
He began pacing back and forth for about 10 minutes when finally the door opened and in walked two boys, no… men. He new it was past time where he could keep them safe. They had grown so much in the past years but in his eyes he could still see himself staring down at them at their first time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, getting sorted into their houses, where as now they were standing in front of him dedicating themselves to something that could change their lives forever, or even worse, get them killed.
He drew up two chairs with a flick of his wand and welcomed them to sit next to him. As they sat and looked at him waiting for him to say something he contemplated if he should just tell them to go back home and that they were to young. He knew that wasn't an option anymore no matter how much he wanted it to be, but he would give them the choice.
"What you boys are agreeing to is highly dangerous and might get you killed, so I warn you now to get out while you can, because once you are in, there is no getting out. They will hunt you down until they kill you because if you agree to this from that time and forward you are their enemy., an obstacle that needs to be removed and they wont hesitate. I warn you now because you are still young and are going to be going against wizards that are twice your age and I want you to be aware that they don't show mercy. If you think this is too much for you please don't get involved."
He waited for one of them to get up and leave but they made no move to stand up. Then they did something that surprised Dumbledore more than anything, they smiled. The one closest to him leaned closer and said in a clear, strong voice, "If we have to die fighting them so be it, but we wont go until all of them come with us." he retreated back to his chair still smiling when the boy right next to him spoke up, "besides what did you think, that we would let you have all the fun, and I thought you knew us better than that."
For the first time in days Dumbledore smiled and answered back, "your right, how foolish of me. Well than lets get started boys because we have a long road ahead of us."
A/N: I know it's short but this is just the prologue so my actual chapters will be longer. It's a little vague right now but things will make sense after a couple more chapters so if you guys think it's interesting and sounds like a story you want to read more of just please review and give me your opinion.
