Dumbledore had called this meeting to order about 20 minutes ago, and
still no one had spoken. It was the first order meeting since the events
at the Ministry of Magic.
He cleared his throat and finally uttered something.
"I regret that we have to meet under such terrible circumstances. But, even after loss, we must go on, that's what Sirius would have wanted. Since, we've had our moment of silence, I shall begin the meeting. Our first order of business shall be to discuss a way to protect Harry so something like this will not happen again.
"One thing we should mention is that our headquarters is now Harry's possession, Sirius left everything he had to him in his will, so it might be a good idea to ask Harry's permission to continue using it as Headquarters. He also wants me to give this letter to Harry, telling him that I am to now continue Sirius's role as godfather," said Lupin with a tear in his eye.
"Yes, yes all in due time," replied Dumbledore, "I want Harry back here within 2 weeks and then we'll discuss all this. But first, I need suggestions on protection for him."
The group sat silent in deep thought. Molly Weasley with a handkerchief in her hand to hold in her tears, leaning on her husband for support, looked about 20 years older than she was. It was a shame what this war was doing to these people. None at the table could think of anything, aside from getting Harry to Hogwarts as soon as possible.
One man sat in the back of the room in the dark, where he liked it. His arm aching from the constant summonses he had been receiving. The last thing he ever thought he'd be doing would be figuring out a way to save Potter's son. As much as he loathed the boy and his father, he knew that Potter was the only way to win this war, and end him of his constant torment and fear. The only way he could be free. Then as if a light bulb went off over his head, he remembered something, or someone. An old friend that he knew had the key to helping them. He then spoke for the first time this evening.
"I think I know who can help us."
"Please Severus, don't keep us in suspense, tell us of your idea," replied Dumbledore.
"Have you ever heard of a vampire slayer?"
