***CLOAKED FIGURES***
The burning red sun slowly set against the ever slowly getting darker as the minutes passes. It was one of the first days since summer began here in Privet Drive. It was too quiet, too quiet for the events that have taken place in the last few weeks. Voldemort had risen and people were finally noticing the signs. After nearly a year had passed since Harry had informed others of his return but they chose not to take him seriously until they saw him for their selves. Harry Potter wasn't your normal person or wizard for a matter of fact. His parents were taken when he was just one and he had survived the killing curse (1st and only person in the wizard history too) with only a scar. Voldemort is a despicable man who wanted nothing but power among muggles and wizards. Harry probably saw Voldemort as much as the death eaters and that was more than most would prefer.
Harry lay in his bed in number 4 Privet Drive thinking about his late godfather, Sirius Black. "How could I have been so stupid" Harry had been thing for the last few weeks as the shock of the death was slowly wearing off. For no particular reason, Harry got up to look in the shadows to see who was watching him today hoping it would be Lupin like it was supposed to be by their schedule. Since last summer Harry had a regular guard on him to make sure he didn't escape or do something stupid again. Harry was startled when he saw it wasn't Lupin in the shadows but a bunch of people that he couldn't make out. Curious as Harry is decided to see who they were and maybe it would be a way out of this hell home. Grabbing his invisibility cloak and pocketing his wand he slowly made his way down the stairs avoiding the creaky stairs to avoid waking the Dursleys, who had recently gone to bed. Soon enough Harry found himself outside making his way to the shadows where the mysterious strangers stood. "Nice to see you today young Harry but if you take off your invisibility cloak I'll be able to really see you." said the elderly man chuckling to himself.
"Professor Dumbledore? Is that you?" said Harry slowly pulling of his cloak "How did you know I was here?"
"Yes and I thought you would have noticed by now I can see you even if your invisible. Now we must get going because it is no longer safe here for you." Replied Dumbledore
Harry eyes were wandering over the hooded figures behind Dumbledore as he went on talking. Dumbledore seemed to notice as he said "These are old members of the Order that I doubt you have had the pleasure of meeting yet." They all seemed to look intently at Harry, even though he could not see their faces.
"Where are we going? The Burrow?" asked Harry happy to be getting away from this Hell place.
"No, it's no longer safe for you as well. We are all going to Hogwarts as it is the safest place we have in the world. As none of you around me are safe once Voldemort gets the word all of you were moved." Said Dumbledore as he glanced over the little crowd "So let's get going. Shall we?" "How are we getting there?" asked Harry, not knowing if he wanted to know the answer.
"A port key of course, as the floo network is still unsafe." Dumbledore said talking out an old newspaper.
Harry held back a groan since only trouble has come from port keys in his life. Silently everyone took hold of the newspaper and they were all whisked away from the scene of Privet Drive. Harry wishing he would never have to return there again. Upon arriving at Hogwarts Dumbledore said something that struck Harry as odd even for the headmaster "I've got some other urgent business so I must be going and Harry don't be surprised when my friends revile themselves and they are who they say they are. With no mistake!" He suddenly sped out of the empty corridor where they were left standing. After disappearing, every hooded-figure seemed to be looking at him with a great deal of interest.
"So who are all of you?" said Harry with increasing interest and curiosity.
"Dumbledore has given all of us clear instructions that we are not to tell you till tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock sharp." Said the closest of the figures.
From the voice Harry thought it was a man in his early twenties with some sadness in his voice, as if he wanted to tell him something but couldn't dare to speak it.
"You will be staying in your dorm till morning where we shall discuss who we are." The man continued making his way toward the Gryffindor Common room. "Password?" said the fat lady guarding the doorway. "Marauder" replied the man that had spoken earlier. Harry found it was an odd password, as it was the name of his dad's friends group but Harry didn't press the matter. Harry made his way up to his room to find all his belongings along with Hedwig in the room. Finally he realized he was so tiered from the night excitement that he quickly collapsed on his bed immediately falling asleep.
