A/N This is a story I've thought about a lot lately. I've been wanting to write it for a long time, and now I finally tried to do it. The story is really about the Order in general while Harry leaves for his fifth year at Hogwarts, and the main pairing is Tonks/Remus. I'm going to write a lot about how the two of them got together, even though they don't realize their romance before later on in this story.

It will be the original plot of OOTP, but I'll still add conversations, moments and small happenings that will not change the main plot a lot. I have not GUESSED on how things happened, and I will never dare to do that, I have simply created my own fantasy on things that Rowling didn't write much about in her books, so if you do see a mistake in the time period (maybe a couple get together before they do in Rowling's mind), than it's not a big deal. It's just how my fanfic is.

I just wanted to say last but not least that English is not my first language, and I'm only 14 years old, so all the English I've learned is from books and movies, and a few lessons at school. So I'll naturally do some mistakes in both the language and the grammar, and I would love it if you pointed it out for me if you saw such a mistake, so I won't do it again.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, and the characters and this whole fantastic world belongs to the genius of J. K. Rowling.

Chapter one ~ The new order

POV: Mostly Remus

It was end of June 1995. The Order of the Phoenix was just about to gather at Grimmauld Place 12 for Dumbledore to tell them exactly what was happening and how to handle it all. It had sure been a great shock to everyone when they had found out about Lord Voldemort's return, but everyone took Dumbledore's word for it. They had no other choice but to believe him.

'Moony,' said Sirius in an excited whisper when he ran through the hallway to see who had just entered the house.

Remus turned around to face his friend, and had him in for a tight hug. They hadn't seen each other in such safe circumstances in a long while, and it surely meant a lot to both of them to know that the other was safe. They both knew the war was only moments away, and that did bring back memories of the last one. The one they had lost their best friend in.

'Sirius –' mumbled Remus. 'I'm so sorry you had to be brought back to this awful place, I know how much you hate it.'

Sirius shrugged. 'Dumbledore asked me very kindly whether or not I would tolerate it, and truthfully…if it had been anyone other than him, I except I would have refused.'

'Nice to know you're okay with it.'

They went in to the dining room where there now were sitting seven people: Moody, Molly, Arthur, Kingsley, a young woman that Remus did not know, McGonagall and Mundungus.

'Remus!' said Molly and smiled at the man. He noticed that she then looked at Sirius and her smile faded a bit. His innocence was still new to Mrs. Weasley.

'Hello there, Molly. And all of you,' mumbled Remus and looked out over the little crowd before taking a seat in the middle of Arthur and Kingsley.

'So Dumbledore told you in person, or did he write you a note?' asked Kingsley.

'No, no… I haven't seen that man for a while. He wrote me this,' said Remus and held up a small piece of parchment with a few words written in green ink on it, 'which Emmeline so kindly past to me from him.'

Kingsley nodded. 'He's been a busy man lately.'

'He just keeps passing us these notes,' said Molly in a worried tone. 'Have any of us actually been talking to him face to face since that accident? I surely haven't talked to him since Harry was on the hospital wing. When do you think he's going to show up?'

Several glances were shared.

'I've talked to him,' said Sirius who hadn't bothered to sit down as he was certain that there would be several more knocks on the door in not very long.

'He's trying to recruit as many members as possible of course – of the old Order I mean – and he's got quite many of us in so short time I must say. Also a few new people have joined us already. Some of the older of your children, Molly,' he looked at her and sighed, 'and young Nymphadora here was also too young during the last war,' said Sirius and looked at the woman whom Remus did not know. Yes, she was very young indeed, with pink hair and a matching outfit.

'Don't ca –' she started, but Sirius interrupted her.

'Yes, yes, I know. Call her Tonks,' he said and looked out at the crowd, 'or she'll rip your head off.'

Mundungus snorted, and Tonks's hair turned a dark shade of red.

'You're a Metamorphmagus?' Remus asked in surprise and interest. It was more of a statement than a question, as it was quite obvious already.

'What?' mumbled Tonks and looked down at her hair. Then she noticed the red colour of it and she quickly shook her head. The colour instantly turned back to the pink one. 'Well, yeah,' she said with an odd smile on her mouth.

'That's fascinating,' said Remus. 'I've never actually met one. Read all about them though.'

'There's a first time for everything, right?' smiled Tonks while she accidently pushed her half empty glass of water over the table. 'Oh, I'm so sorry.' She was clearly embarrassed. Remus had to hold a smile in.

'No worries, I'll get that – oh hello, Ginny dear,' said Molly and looked at her daughter who had just entered the dining room.

'This is my daughter,' said Molly to Tonks with a nice smile. 'She and Hermione will be hardly the only females near your age group, so what do you say about getting to know each other?'

'Yeah, sure,' said Tonks who took Molly's hint, but she still smiled widely at Ginny. 'So you've got a thing for a strong hair colour too?' They chuckled and walked out of the kitchen.

'Tonks is a member of the order now,' Sirius reminded Molly.

Molly sighed, and she started to clean up the mess Tonks had made with her glass of water.

'She's – what – twenty two?' she asked and sat down at a chair again, after a simple cleaning spell.

'Yes, she is. Which means she's been an adult for five years. And did I have to remind you that she is in fact an excellent auror?' said Sirius.

'She truly is,' agreed Moody.

'I don't doubt it. But she's still young, and you would surly not want her to miss out on her youth?' said Molly.

'Tonks is a strong one, she's always been. She's my niece you know – give her a try,' mumbled Sirius and then left the room again in a hurry when he heard a door knock.

Even if he didn't want to, Remus had to agree with Molly. Tonks wouldn't want her youth taken away from her. She was hardly even a woman. This fact seemed to bother Remus quite a bit when he went to bed that night, but why should it? He couldn't find a fitting reason at all.

A/N It was a short chapter and later chapters will be longer. I don't think it'll be a long wait untill the next chapter gets out. What do you think so far? Thank you for reading :)
