Chapter One: The Plan

Hermione was standing outside of the Burrow. She had just come from Australia where she had left her parents. With Voldemort's influence starting to show, she thought it a good idea to modify her parnets memory, change their identity and hide them where Voldemort wouldn't think to look. After all, she had told them quite a bit about Ron and Harry and the rest of the wizarding world. Hermione raised a hand to knock on the back door of the Burrow. There were two weeks before Bill and Fluer's wedding and she had been invited to attend. Well at least there will be some happiness amongst the hard times. Hermione thought.

She knocked on the door and it was immediatly opened by Mrs. Weasley. She gave her a bone crushing hug and looked Hermione up and down.

"It is just wonderful to see you Hermione, dear. But I hope you don't mind me saying that you look a tad bit peaky. But you have just arrived in time for dinner. It should be ready in about 15 minutes."

Hermione gave a small smile. "Thank you, Mrs. Weasley. Where is everyone at?"

"Well, Ginny is most likely playing Quidditch with Ron and Charlie. Bill is trying to teach Fluer to fly on a broomstick. And Fred and George are in their shop in Diagon Alley and they are arriving home sometime later tonight."

"What about Harry?" Hermione asked, always worrying about his safety.

"Harry is at his Aunt's and Uncles for the time being."

Hermione nodded her head and gave a soft yawn.

"Hermione, you must have a rest, even though it will be a short one. I will have one of the boys bring up your luggage later. You go ahead and sleep in Ginny's room."

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Weasley."

Hermione climbed the stairs and went right into Ginny's room. There was already a comfortable looking cot waiting for her. Hermione looked out of the window in the room and saw Ginny, Ron and Charlie playing Quidditch. She could also see Fluer pouting on the ground and saying that she will not fly anymore. As Hermione turned and sat on the cot, she heard Fluer say, "You can forgeet eet, Beel."

Hermione could feel a slight push on her shoulder. She looked and saw a person with long red hair bending upon her.

"Oh Hermione!" The red blur shouted out in delight. "I just only found out that you arrived. But mum sent me up here to tell you that dinner is ready. But, if you want, you are more than welcome to sleep longer and eat later."

"It's alright, Ginny.I will come down. How have you been?" Hermione asked her best friend.

"Well, I have been better." She answered. "Everything has been very busy lately, with the wedding and You-Know-Who starting to take over everything."

"Really?"

"Yeah, the Burrow is the new Head Quarters for the Order. There is a rare moment when there isn't a member here. There is a big meeting taking place at dinner tonight actually."

"What is it about?" Hermione asked.

"They are trying to find a way to get...him...here."

"Him? Him who? You mean Harr- oh sorry, Ginny. I forgot. Don't be worried about it though. He still loves you, and this is why he is trying to protect you."

"Really? That's the reason then..." Ginny said sarcastically, but then sighed. "Hermione, I still love him. He has my heart. He always will."

Hermione could see that tears were starting to well up in her eyes. She got up and gave her best friend a hug.

"Thanks, Hermione."

"If you don't mind me asking, what was the original plan to get Harry?"

"Oh, the Order leaked a fake trail to the Ministry. But they think Voldemort has caught on to it. But we better head down, we shouldn't miss this meeting."

Hermione was just finishing her treacle tart that Mrs. Weasley made her eat, while listening to the meeting.

"What would happen if I were to tell the Ministry that you are still going." Kingsley asked. Since he was a well known and respected member of the Ministry, he thought there would be no problem. "You know...following the leaked trail."

"All I know is that we have to be there the moment Harry turns 17. For all we know, there could be Death Eaters staked out around his Aunt's and Uncles house." Deadulus Diggle said.

"You and Hestia are going to get the his Aunt and Uncle the day after next, right?" Lupin asked.

"Well thats the plan." Hestia Jones answered.

"Moody, you have been quiet for quite sometime. What do you think?" Tonks asked.

"Molly," Moody started. "I was just wondering, how many people are going to be at your house by tomorrow night?"

"Well, there is going to be me and Arthur, Ginny, Ronald, Fred and George, Hermione, Fluer, and Bill."

"Well, for this plan, I don't think that we could use Ginny."

"And why not?" She asked hotly.

"Ginny, you are too young to be in the Order and any other plans." Molly answered. "Go on Alastor."

"Well, I was thinking this. I would take six other people, all who have been inducted into the Order, and at least seven or more members of the Order. We would go to Harry's house, and then get some hairs and take the Polyjuice potion. Then, each "Potter' would be accompanied with an older, more experienced member of the Order. We would then have to go ahead and find differnet homes of other members to use as a Safe Harbor."

"I see what you're saying, this way, if there are Death Eaters running about, they won't know which Harry to chase after."

"It's a risky plan, but I think we could pull it off." Arthur said.

"Molly, since this is the headquarters for the Order, all of the people involved in this, will end up back at your house. The only problem I could think of is who's house we are going to use. And the possibility of someone dying." Lupin answered.

"But wait, if you wanted to have seven 'Potters' you only have six right now. There is me, Fred, Hermione, Little Ronnikins, and Fluer." George said, "You would need one more person."

Ginny started to raise her hand, but Moody cut her off."

"Don't worry. Later tonight, I will look around for Dung and see...or force him to do it."

"So the night after tomorrow is when we put this plan into action?" Fred asked his dad.

"That's right."

Hermione and Ginny were in the kitchen of the Burrow washing the dinner dishes when Tonks walked in.

"Is there anything I can help with?" She asked.

"Sorry, Tonks. But I just got done drying the last dish." Ginny answered.

"Well here, I will put it away for you." Tonks took the dish from Ginny's hand and Hermione noticed that there was a wedding band on here hand. Hermione squealed and sent the rest of the Weasleys and Lupin flying into the kitchen.

"Why didn't anyone tell me? You two got married?" She ran up to Lupin and gave him a hug and turned around to give Tonks one as well.

"It was a quiet and small ceremony. We didn't want any of the Death Eaters finding out." Lupin answered.

"Well congratulations! I hope you will have a happy and long life together." Hermione said smiling.

Everyone was now asleep and Hermione was lying away on her cot. She wasn't really all that tired and she was thinking about a certain tall, redhead. She thought about him possibly marrying her. Oh that would make me so happy.

But he likes Angelina.

A/N: Well that is the first chapter. I know that it is going a bit slow, but it will start to pick up a bit. It is also really following HPDH book, but that is going to change and everything. I really hope you liked it and please review!
