Something different
Severus Snape hated the meetings of the Order of the Phoenix with all his heart. The reunions took place once a week and they were always the same, chatting and comparing stupid ideas of how to try to protect Harry Potter from the Dark Lord's attacks. They don't know him like I do, Severus thought bitterly, it's a waste of time protecting the brat because all he does is put himself in the greatest danger possible just to find out how far his luck would go.
Besides the meetings themselves, Sirius Black was present as well. To Severus, sitting at a table just in front of Black was hell worse than playing his role for the Dark Lord. Mrs. Weasley's constant interruptions with her homemade biscuits bothered him, though that was more because she still didn't hate him even though he promised himself he would fail all of her children. She was convinced that Severus was too slim, which he actually was, so she tried to make him eat Hagrid-sized helpings frequently. My hate is well justified, he said to himself as he knocked on the door of that damn Grimmauld Place.
The atmosphere inside was as usual. As he entered the house, he was nearly hit by an enchanted football ball the twins were playing with. When they saw him, they immediately stopped their foul game and went into their bedrooms. At least Snape's 'If-You-Dare-I'll-Kill-You' look was effective. When he stepped into the dining room, which served as the meeting room, something strange caught his attention. All the chairs were arranged in rows instead of being around the table and most of the members were already seated and were wearing their best suites. Lupin looked like a different person in that green suit, and Moody had changed his worn cloak with a new one. Even Sirius Black had put away the clothes he usually wore at home and had bought a new jacket. They all stared at him and his usual black clothes, Sirius with contempt, and then turned away, as if they didn't know him. Keeps getting better, thought Snape, at least they won't get me sick, as he took a seat away from them, next to Tonks. He certainly did not like the metamorphagous, but he certainly liked her more than Lupin, Black, and Moody. For the occasion, Tonks had her hair changed to a beautiful pink shade that complimented her outfit.
"What's going on?" asked Severus, but suddenly everyone in the room sat down and he heard a loud, familiar voice shout "Hello everyone!" and a completely purple-dressed Albus Dumbledore entered the dining room. "Oh God, this is going to be a very long meeting" sighed Severus. He couldn't remember anything about Dumbledore coming at the last meeting, but probably he had just missed it. When at those reunions, he thought very frequently about his own business, especially about Dolores Umbridge, who was pestering the school with her stupid laws and was at butting heads with Dumbledore himself.
"I've come here because, as some of you certainly know, our dear Supreme Inquisitor Dolores Umbridge has decided that is better, for our students' safety, to suspend me from my position as Headmaster." This statement made the audience whisper, but they fell immediately silent when Dumbledore raised his hand and continued. "So, I think that the best solution is for me to leave for a while so that the Ministry will keep its nose out of our business. I'm here to introduce you the person who'll take the direction of the Order in my place. I'd like to introduce you to Anna Jopkins, an Auror and my friend!"
