LadyBookworm80- Thanks for the tip I'll be sure to think of that for my next story. As for updating I'm not exactly sure but I would like to have a chapter done maybe once a week or maybe two weeks at the latest. Hopefully as long as I don't get stuck on my story or anything it also depends on what I'm doing... But I guess around that amount of time. Do you think that's reasonable?
MR-Thanks for pointing out my spelling mistakes, I can't believe I spelt damn dame and yes I did mean marauder not murderer I will fix that. Also I took your advice I got a Beta.
And since I'm on the topic of Beta, I'd like to thank my Beta "foreversleeping" your awesome thanks a bunch!
Thank you to all who reviewed and decided to follow this story! Virtual muffins for you all. And enjoy.
Later that evening the order of the Phoenix were gathered at 12 Grimmauld place for the usual meetings they had. Ron, Hermione and Harry had been an added to the order just recently, even with the constant nagging of Mrs. Weasley saying that they were too young and innocent; in fact this was their very first meeting. The Order now consisted of; Tonks, Moody, Bill, Fred, George, Author, Kingsley, Dumbledore, Snape, Remus, Sirius, Hermione, Harry, and Ron. Even with Hermione consistently trying to get Ron out of the order, saying that "We don't need him" and "He would only get in the way", but whenever she tried to talk to Dumbledore about it he would look as though he was listening, but Hermione could tell that everything she was saying would just go in one ear and out the other.
No matter how many ways she tried to approach him on the subject; Dumbledore would always say "Hermione, you should not let your personal life cloud the evidence of Ron's skills. Ron is very skilled we both know that so would you please just push past this childish feud between you too for the advantage of the greater good." Hermione looked up to Dumbledore as a great wizard but she couldn't help but get irritated at how confounded he was on this subject, and here she was thinking that he knew everything.
When the last of the Order members arrived everyone took a seat at the large kitchen table. Ron sat beside Harry and the twins while Hermione decided to sit beside Remus, who was on her right, and Sirius who was on her left. Everyone was fixed on their own conversations except for Hermione she was more focused on the water in her glass then any conversation going on.
She wasn't excited for her first meeting in the order; she had felt the throbbing of a headache arise about an hour ago; she had ignored it hoping it would disappear, but to her frustration it increased 10 folds. She pinched to bridge of her nose and lowered her head to rest in the crook of her elbow, groaning as the chattering around her got louder.
Sirius heard her groan, stopping his conversation with Remus he looked over towards Hermione with a goofy grin plastered on his face. He reached his hand over and poked the side of her head. Hermione groaned again but this time much louder; she didn't bother attempting to raise her head to look at him, so Sirius poked her again a little harder this time. Raising her head she gave him a wicked yet weary glare it was the best she could muster in this state. Sirius was sure if they were alone she would have punched him in the face.
"What do you want?" Hermione growled.
"What's the matter love?" He asked.
"Nothing much I just have this huge headache that won't go away, and all this talking is not helping either." Hermione groaned again, her own talking causing her headache to become more painful than it already was.
"Why don't you go lie down for a while?"
"Well Sirius I would be if I did not have to come to this meeting, but I can't very well skip my fist meeting now can I?"
"No well I guess not bu-"Sirius was cut off as Dumbledore cleared his throat and stood to start the meeting.
"Welcome everyone. I have called this meeting because Severus has found word of the location of where Voldemort is hiding, but before I get into detail I would gladly like to welcome our new order members; Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter." All the order members raised their glasses and said "Welcome" in sync with each other.

Hermione had thought that the meeting was rather boring. Dumbledore had discussed Snape's information and had set a plan. Some would think that she would be excited about finding information on Voldemort, but she didn't want to get her hopes up to find out that it was fake information or that they had missed him by a couple of days.
She had overheard many order meetings before; sometimes they forgot she was there and didnt put up a silencing charm, and with Hermione's curiosity it was hard not to eavesdrop. She had overheard Dumbledore talking about new locations where Voldemort could be hiding and would get her hopes up only to be let down when nothing was found. She had wondered, with the amount of fake and useless information given from Snape, that he may be leading them in a mindless chase.
She had always thought that if Dumbledore trusts him than so should she, but no matter how many times she said it to herself she still had that nagging feeling to investigate the situation further.
Hermione was glad when the meeting was done her headache had reached the point of painful and she couldn't wait to go up the stairs, plop down on her bed, and sleep for a long long time. Her hopes for a long sleep were ruined when she heard voices that she hoped didn't belong to the two most annoyingly troublesome men in the world (in her opinion). And to her disappointment when she turned around she was greeted by the two red headed twins.
"Herm…..i…..on…e!" Fred and George both sang," We have a request for you." Fred stated, turning his head slightly to a smirking George. "Yes a request indeed." George repeated.
"Oh?" she said tiredly not at all interested in any request that they had. "Well sorry guys but I really don't want to do any request of yours, not since the last one ended in me being shrunk and chased by Crookshanks all around the house. I am tired and I have a massive headache. All I want to do right now is go to sleep so if you don't mind." She trailed off as she started to walk back up the stairs to the second floor where her room was located on.
The twins followed her up the stairs, not planning to go until their request was fulfilled. "Yes well once again we are sorry about that. We are still not sure what went wrong with that potion. Anyways back to our request, we would rather enjoy it if you were to accompany us to dinner? The Three broomsticks perhaps? We know it is your favorite place."
"What about Saturday night? We know you're free" George added.
"No thanks." She replied with a yawn.
They both gasped dramatically "So Sirius was telling the truth you're done with guys eh?"
"I could be, or it could be that I just don't find you both attractive, and maybe I simply don't want to go out with you two."
They both laughed.
"Oh come on Granger." Fred teased.
"We-"
"Are-"
"Bloody-"
"Gorgeous." They both said rotating after every word.
Now it was Hermione's turn to laugh. "You two are really full of yourselves you know that?"
"We have been told. So is that a yes then?" George urged on.
"No. It is still a no. Are you two going to keep bugging me about this?" Hermione asked as she reached her bedroom door, opening it and walking in far enough to stand partially behind the door.
The twins leaned on either side of the door frame crossing their arms and one leg over the other. "Not unless you say yes." Fred and George both said.
Within a second the door had slammed right in their faces causing them both to jump back in fright. "Well my dear brother George I'm not sure about you, but I'll say that was just plain rude. And to think we were asking her out to the Three BroomSticks."
"I highly agree Fred."
-HpHpHpHpHpHpHpHpHp-
Fred and George walked down the stairs and back into the kitchen to meet an awaiting Sirius and Remus.
"So? Did she say yes?" Sirius asked as though he was a 5 year old on Christmas Eve waiting for Christmas morning to come.
"She said no." George said shrugging. "I guess she's being serious about the whole down with men thing that she declared. I guess if you want to get to her Sirius, Remus, than you will have to turn yourself into girls-"
"-And we have just the potion for that to." Fred interrupted George's sentence, even though Sirius and Remus knew George was going to say the exact same thing.
They gave them both a look that meant "Don't even start" so they took their leave for the night wishing them the best of luck with their plans for Hermione.
"So Padfoot do you mind telling me what you have planned or are you going to leave me in the dark?" Remus questioned.
"Well, I guess I might as well tell you now since I do plan on starting my plan tomorrow which by the way I so cleverly decided to call "Hermione's down with men no longer going to happen plan S&R."
"'Hermione's down with men no longer going to happen plan S&R? How clever of you Padfoot I would have never thought you would have came up with such a clever and complicated title to call your plan. I am surprised yet impressed that your mind would come up with something like that." Remus mocked.
"Why thank you Moony, I'm glad you liked it so muc- wait a minute… are you mocking me? I sometimes can't tell when it comes to you."
Remus chuckled and gave him a small smile. "Good night Padfoot I'll see you in the morning. You can tell me all about your plan tomorrow, for now I am tired Goodnight."
Just as Remus was about to completely leave the kitchen he added "And yes I was mocking you, obviously." Then he closed the door, heading up the stairs to his bed where he would sleep into a new day.
