Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, if you doubt me, why would I be writing fan fiction if I was JK Rowling? Hmm?

Chapter One

Intelligence

I ran along the grassy meadow, the dark cloak I used for cover billowing softly behind me. This information was too much. I finally had what we needed to put the scales in our favor, at least for one moment. I couldn't Apparate to where I was going, it was too risky. Voldemort controlled everything now. The Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts, Gringotts. We got by with what we could, we would steal into Muggle stores in the middle of the night and grab what we needed. We stayed in houses of Muggles that were on vacation, and stayed only during the night. During the day we were busy getting information. Once a week we'd go back to Headquarters and share all that we had collected, after sorting through the useful and not so useful information. Times were hard, and we were the three most sought after wizards in the world.

The world belonged to Voldemort now. Nearly everywhere we went we had to change our appearance. Countless times I looked like a mix between Ginny and Harry, other times I looked like every other teenager on the street, pink hair, weird piercings and tattoos. I was thankful for magic and transfiguration. It was like that class was meant to help us in this our time of need. I glanced around as I reached an intersection and quickly looked over my shoulder. Good I was completely alone. Everything was dark and quiet and not a single thing moved. I ran across the street as fast as I could, on Muggle streets wearing dark clothing at night was not necessarily the best idea.

I reached the door of the house we had stayed at last night. No note saying we had relocated which was good, but a few lights were on. Harry and Ron never left the lights on, it was too dangerous. I cautiously knocked five times, three slow, two fast. A muffled voice came through the wooden door. "Who goes there?" I couldn't really tell who was on the other side of the door. I responded quickly with "Ruby." The door creaked open and an unruly mass of black hair could be seen through the crack. He narrowed his eyes suspicious as always. "Who told me about the Dragons?" I paused a second and thought back to 4th year when Harry had been forced into the Tri Wizard Tournament. "Hagrid." The door opened more and I was admitted into the house.

"For a minute there I was worried it wasn't you." Harry said glancing at me as we walked towards the middle of the house. There was a room that you couldn't see into unless you were inside the house and thats where all our information was kept. Safely in a room no one could reach. Once we were out of view of the windows, I put my wand to my temple and thought real hard and pulled out the memory. I slowly let it into a vial, labeled it and handed it to Harry to move onto the next. I had quite a bit of information, but Harry had a large number of vials ready for memory transference. There was another knock on the door and Harry quickly went to go see who was at the door.

I stayed and finished my memory copying. I labeled all the vials and found the one that I thought Harry needed to see. He finally came back with Ron following closely behind him. He also began filling vials with the silvery liquid of memories. Harry took the vial I handed to him, and immediately went into the Pensieve to watch it. After a few minutes, he came out smiling. "Hermione! That's such good news!" He said quickly writing it down and adding the vials name to a list of things we would give to the Order in a few days. Ron handed Harry a vial as well and Harry went into the pensieve again.

"It's a long memory. He'll be in there for awhile." Ron said shrugging as he labeled the last of his vials. He looked at me with a concerned look on his face. I smiled at him and put my hand on his shoulder, a signal of reassurance. He glanced at the vials near my hand and looked back at me.

"I met with the usual spies and they had some good information for me. The Dark Lord is planning some raid. They know about where some are hiding. They weren't sure whether it was us, or the Order. And then a few Muggles heard noises near one of their head quarters. And then a few sightings of the Dark Lord moving from place to place. But the most important one, the one Harry just watched, gives us information like we've never had before. Everything we thought we knew about Voldemort's mind set is completely off. Someone who lived near him told me that he constantly had a female companion coming in and out of his house a few years before his demise. He said that sometimes they would argue, but most of the time things were quiet. It leads us to believe that something happened between Voldemort and that woman that made him go crazy. The neighbor said that her visits stopped after awhile, and then Voldemort went crazy and became, well... Voldemort. Before that he had just been a strange man who kept to himself. Though he also said that he was rarely around in the first place." I added glancing to a window nearby. I glanced at Ron to gauge his reaction to this information and he nodded as if thinking about it.

"It seems like it would hold something, but until we figure out who that woman is, there's not much we can do with it. Is Harry gonna present it to the Order on Thursday?" I nodded to Ron as Harry came out of the Pensieve. He looked at Ron and gave a thumbs up.

"Ron just found something that might support the memory you gave me Hermione. This is a memory from someone else. A conversation with Voldemort about a year ago. He talks about some woman, and getting revenge on those who took them away. I have a feeling there was something more about that but the conversation was moved onto something different. Voldemort wasn't the one talking about the people though. It was one of his followers, inquiring upon something Voldemort had said years before then, and Voldemort moved on to a different subject. He didn't even dismiss it as something that was irrelevant. He just moved on to a different topic eager to get off of that conversation." Harry concluded looking from me to Ron. We both smiled and Harry added it to the list of final evidence.

"Alright, so we've stayed in this house a few days already. We should move to another location. Seeing as we've been pretty lucky with houses, just to keep people off our tails, we should probably camp out again. But not somewhere they would normally look for hiding wizards." I suggested. Harry and Ron looked at each other, both slightly doubtful of where a place like that might be. "I mean try a camp ground. You know where Muggles go camping? We'd blend right in, a couple of teens camping out, among a whole bunch of other people. If anyone does come to the camp site, we can blend right in no one'll know the difference. Plus we can limit our magic use, that way we aren't entirely dependent upon magic." Harry and Ron glanced at each other and shrugged.

"Its a good idea, and you're probably right about the magic use. If Voldemort has control over thee Ministry, he can probably track magic and if there's magic among a Muggle campsite that would be a tad bit suspicious." Harry nodded and Ron reluctantly agreed too. We then decided to move the next morning, and got to work on sorting out what information was good and what would be put on back burner until the time was right.

"Hermione, this spy you talked to earlier about the raid, do you think he might have some more information? I got a correspondence from Fred the other day, and he said that some people had been watching multiple Order hide outs and similar characters were checking out the safe houses where converted pure bloods were hiding. Perhaps Voldemort wants to kill all who betrayed him and is planning an attack on the pure bloods who escaped?" Ron asked shifting through papers of written letters and correspondence.

"I will look into that tomorrow. He told me that there was an important meeting tonight at their main head quarters and he would get more information there. So I'll have more information tomorrow. This is a little off topic but I'm going to book the site for tomorrow, what site should we get? One near the bathrooms or secluded from everything else?" I asked looking between the boys. They shrugged but both agreed that secluded would be better and walking to the bathroom, as dangerous as it was, was well worth the risk if it meant our plans and conversations wouldn't be over heard.

Harry found a letter from an anonymous person amidst all the maps and blue prints of pure blood homes. The letter talked about a person that no one could know about and how if the Dark Lord knew about her, everyone who was hiding her would be punished. Whoever wrote the letter implored that they take in this important person and hide her until the perfect moment came. Then they would be revealed to the Dark Lord and he would hopefully fall and his demise would be insight. Harry thought it was interesting and me and Ron agreed that he should present it to the Order on Thursday even if just as a point of interest.

"Perhaps the woman who went in and out of his house is still alive and she's prepared to take him down even if that means losing him forever. Perhaps she's his old lover who he thought was killed?" I said, Ron laughed and called me a hopeless romantic. "Funny Ron, weren't you crying just a few nights ago over the cruelty of mental disease as we watched the Notebook?" Ron stopped laughing and turned a bright shade of red.

"Your mother was quite right Ron, you look absolutely ravishing in maroon!" Harry said joining in on the fun. Ron glared at both of us and told us to go back to work. It was nearly 2 O'clock before we all decided it was time to go to sleep. Me and Ron would go out early tomorrow after packing our belongings and get a bit more information, and then once we were done, we would return and for the next day and a half we would work with Harry on finalizations of his presentation to the Order.

For nearly 3 months we had been running around the whole of England searching for information that would bring Voldemort down. We had already made a few presentations to the Order, information that would be helpful in raids and in fighting against him. They took every thing we could give them. Harry didn't dare step out of our hiding place. Ever. He was too well known and we had tried countless numbers of times to hide his scar, but none of it worked. Other than Polyjuice, there was no way we could get rid of his scar to hide him. We even tried a fake tattoo over the marking, but still it could be seen.

Plus Harry knew if he got caught sneaking around, if he slipped up even once, the whole wizarding world would be at stake. Without Harry we were lost. We already had accepted that there was only a matter of time before Voldemort would have complete control, but trust me that we tried our hardest to make sure that time was as far off as possible. Me and Ron were each quite good at getting information out of people. The Order normally made the connections with the spies for us. They told us where to meet them, and once we met with them, we would figure out a regular schedule to meet and would meet there and receive information.

I had a few spies giving me information, not as many as I would have liked to have, but still a good deal more than Voldemort thinks we have. The Order handles all the information once we give it to them. If they ever want us to do a follow up on some information, ours or not, they tell us at the presentation Harry gives. There have been a few occasions where they ask us to do a follow up on information that was absolutely valuable. And many of those follow ups have lead in good news. Me, Harry and Ron are valuable to the Order. We may not be working directly with the Order and following their orders on a daily basis, but we are a faction of them. Harry and Ron have jokingly called us the Rebel Force. They thought it would be cool to call ourselves that, especially after they first saw the Star Wars series. At least the original Trilogy.

And even though I'll scold them for it, saying that we are still apart of the Order, I kind of like it. Being a part of something called a Rebel Force makes you feel...well rebellious. Part of the Order gives you the feeling of 'bowing to the man' as Harry would say. As I lay in bed now, I imagined the future. A future where Voldemort still reigned, but we were slowly gaining power and fighting back. The Order had long ago been disbanded; all those associated with it were banished. I could imagine myself leading the new force against the dark side. I imagined myself the leader, speaking to my members, rallying them for a raid, for a fight.

We are the Rebel Force. We have witnessed executions and murders and people running for their lives. We have seen death and blood and the tears of a grown man. We have seen our greatest heroes perish before us, and we have survived through it all. We have seen things that would make a strong man scream, and we stand strong! We are a force that will not be beaten or torn down. We are not weak and patient like our parents before us. We will not wait around for Voldemort to draw first blood. He has already drawn blood, but so have we. We have killed and murdered, we have sunk to the level of Voldemort! And we are finally gaining ground against his numbers. We are an entity, and Voldemort isn't sure what to do with us. We aren't biding our time and spying on him like the Order did. We aren't wasting time and lives, waiting for something to bend our way. We are the Rebel Force! We are young, we are strong, and we are the Future of our world!

Yes, I could see it, as if it was clear as day. The future. No more spying, no more secret correspondence or secret names and pass codes. No more sneaking around in the dead of night. In the future, in my future we would be fighting, we would be raiding, and Voldemort would be losing. It was a beautiful thought, a beautiful future. And I couldn't wait for it to come. The Rebel Force will stand strong.

A/N: Ok so, I'm trying something new. I'm gonna actually have like four chapters ahead of what I post and try to post weekly. A lot of other people are doing the same thing and it seems to be working well for them. :) Hope you enjoyed it, please review!
