When Severus arrived at Grimmauld Place a quarter past twelve he was met in the hallway by Dumbledore, McGonagall, Mr. Weasley, Tonks, Lupin, Mad-Eye, Harry, Hermione, and Ron.

"Your late." Stated Mad-Eye.

"Lucius Malfoy paid me a surprise visit this morning. I got rid of him as fast as I could without looking suspicious." Replied Snape.

"It's ok, were in no hurry." Dumbledore said. "You can tell us later what type of trouble Lucius has been getting into."

"Remember you three, you are to stay underneath the invisibility cloak, until we say that you can come out." McGonagall said, looking especially at Harry. "We have other members of the Order waiting to hear from us if we get into danger. If something happens you are to take the porkey and get back to Grimmauld Place, understood."

The three nodded as they placed the cloak over them.

"Well with that all settled, lets go." Dumbledore said. They walked a couple of blocks before they turned down a dark alley and Tonks produced a porkey. They all took hold of it and disappeared before a Muggle could see them.

They landed in an open field, there were trees all around them and a stone path that led to a medium size cottage with many different types of flowers and plants around it. They walked up to the cottage with their wands drawn. When they reached it they peered through the windows, by the front door. They didn't see anyone. They were able to enter the house easily because it the door was unlock. They went through the living room, and into the kitchen.

In the kitchen stood a woman with blonde curly hair. She had her back turned away from them and was pouring herself some tea. She hadn't heard them come in.
