Can You Trust Me?
Not a single sound could be heard through Number 12 Grimauld Place. All of the members of The Order of the Phoenix were in the kitchen while the children were upstairs. Harry Potter had just arrived and everyone was anxious to see what Dumbledore would say. They also wanted to see who was new in the Order. Dumbledore had said that there were a couple of members who had helped in the first war but were not fully recognized because of the danger they could be put in if Voldemort found out.
The silence was suddenly broken by a scream that seemed to be coming from upstairs. Everyone was so lost in their own thoughts' that the sudden noise made everyone jump.
*"So what you haven't been in the meetings, big deal! You've still been together! Me' I've been stuck at the Dursly's for a month!"* Harry was apparently getting a piece of his mind.
"Ha-ha, Potter isn't the one to go for polite and quiet conversations is he," Mad-eye Moody said. His magical eye pointing upward. "Well you can't blame him, "Minerva McGonagall said. "If you'd seen the kind of muggles he is living with you would be saying the same thing. No actually you would be swearing your head off and cursing everyone in sight," McGonagall said with the corners of her lips twitching upward. Everyone laughed at that. Even Mad-Eye.
Just then the fireplace turned green and an old man steeped out. His name was Albus Dumbledore. He was wearing midnight blue robes with little stars and moon that seem to bring out his brilliant blue eyes. "Good to see you are all in good humor," he said taking a seat at the head of the table. "Just having a couple of laughs about Mad-Eyes temper," a young man named Sirius Black said pretending to wipe tears from his eyes.
"Well it is a good thing that you are all in good humor because the next few hours you might find disturbing," he said taking a seat at the head of the table. The laughter immediately stopped and the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped." What do you mean Albus" a young man named Remus Lupin said with a worried look. And if as on cue, the fire place turned green.
From the fire place a young woman with icy blue eyes, straight blond hair and full pink lips. "You," Sirius said standing up and pointing a finger at her." Why Hello dear cousin, long time no see," she said in a polite tone but you could hear a hint of humor in her voice.
"Ah Narcissa, left everything alright at home," Dumbledore said walking over to her and embracing her. "In this time who knows if safe is still safe," she answered with a small grimace. "Quite true, but we must make the best of these times when we are all together," said Dumbledore offering her a seat on his left.
"What is she doing here," Sirius said clearly angered and outraged. "I take it he hasn't told you yet," Narcissa said eyes darting from Sirius to Dumbledore. "I thought i should wait until all of you got here so you could give your side of the story," Dumbledore said fiddling with his fingers. "Indeed," Narcissa said looking at the fire place as it turned green again.
