Disclaimer: I do not own any of J.K. Rowling's characters. The protectors and new original characters belong to me. The general plot of this story in a sense is also mine but only in a sense because I cannot own anything that is a part of Harry Potter. This is just a story I created that is called fanfiction.

Chapter 7: Peculiar News

Remus and Jennae were back in their room at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix within an hour and a half from the end of their wedding. They were sitting on the bed while Jennae was trying to put into words what she had to say.

"Jennae, what is it?" Remus asked.

"I'm…I'm…" Jennae stuttered unable to get the words out.

"You're what?"

"P…Pregnant."

"Did you just say that you're pregnant?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me a few days ago?"

"Because I wanted to wait until after our wedding to tell you. We're going to be parents, Remus. I wanted to make you finding out special."

"It is special," Remus said running a hand over Jennae's lower abdomen.

"I'm glad you're happy about it?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Maria's already made her famous prediction."

"She's yet to be wrong."

"Well, if Maria's never wrong then you'll have a son in about six months."

"Six months?"

"I'm already three months pregnant, Remus."

"Then we must have the first time."

"One of the first times at least."

"Let me get you out of that dress."

"I'd be glad to oblige."

Narcissa Malfoy arrived at 12 Grimmauld Place just in time for the meeting. She found the rest of the Order of the Phoenix gathered in the living room along with a Grim and without Remus Lupin and Jennae Martinez-Lupin.

"Narcissa," Molly Weasley said. "So good of you to come. We were just getting started."

"Do you have anything for us, Narcissa?" Dumbledore asked.

"Not really. Lucius only gives hints never what you want to hear," Narcissa answered.

"Hints can be good especially father's hints," Draco said looking at his mother.

"He only mentioned Salem, Christiana, Maria, Jason, and Sirius Black."

"I know what he's talking about," Sirius said changing back to human form.

Narcissa turned paler than usual at the sight of Sirius. He was supposed to be dead. At least that's what she was told.

"Sirius," Narcissa said. "Everyone said you were dead."

"Let them keep saying that. Not everyone is to know that I'm alive just yet," Sirius replied.

"Then what was Lucius talking about?"

"Salem must be questioning Christiana's paternity," Maria said, "I've never questioned it. She's Sirius's daughter. I don't find myself at fault for Salem being too thick to notice that she carries all the Black traits."

"He has no plan of keeping the wedding from happening either despite who Christiana's father is."

"Then he or Voldemort one is very determined to have the blood of a protector flowing through its veins."

"I'll say he's might bloody determined if he wants Draco to get me pregnant that much," Christiana put in.

"Voldemort is more of a danger to us than we thought," Dumbledore said.

"You can say that again. We have to keep my son safe while preparing him to destroy this monster," Lily said almost sobbing.

"We will, Lily. The Order is prepared for this war. Harry will defeat Voldemort and as planned there will be no new dark lord to take his place."

"I'm glad I could be of some help to the Order," Narcissa said softly.

"You are a lot of help, Narcissa," Lily said. "You don't remember me do you?"

"I still have a hard time believing it when Dumbledore said it, Lily. How could it be?"

"Long story," Maria put in.

"I'll ask again later when there's more time."

"The perfect time could be when my daughter is going through labor with our grandchild."

"I' was thinking of asking about you and Sirius then and how Salem got involved."

"That story isn't that long."

"Ladies, I hate to interrupt but we have a Dark Lord and his minions to worry about," Snape said interrupting.

"Why, Hello, Severus," Narcissa said. "Can you get any information out of my husband?"

"Hardly but I think we should try to use Draco to get information next."

"I believe Lucius might tell him something instead of hints. Brilliant idea, Severus."

"Let me guess, It's my turn to fish father for information," Draco said.

"Yes, Draco it is. I just hope you can get something out of him," Severus said.

"Yeah, me too."

"I believe that will be all for tonight. I would like to thank all of you for coming," Dumbledore said before apparating with a 'pop.'

Fred and George Weasley had yet to invent better extendable ears, so they entire group of young order members was left upstairs of 12 Grimmauld Place to only wander what was going on. Tired and disappointed they started working on tweaking and changing the extendable ears. They had to know what was going on.

"This is never going to work! We shouldn't be doing this anyway!" Hermione shouted in frustration.

"Don't you want to know what's going on, Hermione?" Fred asked.

"Don't you want to know why we're being left out?" George asked.

"Of course I do!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Then let us do out job!" The twins yelled in unison.

"I got a bad feeling about this," Ron whispered to Harry and Ginny.

"Like it's not going to work?" Ginny replied in a questioning manner.

"Yeah."

"The twins are good at this, but I hate to say it they're not this good," Harry said. "I'll never know what's going on."

"Would you like to know what's going on, Harry?" a feminine voice asked from the doorway.

"Tonks?" Harry asked.

"Yes, it's me," she replied stepping inside being followed by a rugged red haired man that Harry knew to be Charlie Weasley.

"How is everyone?" Charlie asked.

"The twins are trying to reinvent extendable ears so they can listen through the floors," Ginny answered.

"Mum will freak when she finds out."

"If she finds out," Ron added.

"They are things going on downstairs that the lot of you are not ready to hear yet," Charlie said sincerely. "I promise you that you'll know everything when the time comes. Right now the Order is just trying to sort everything out so we understand enough to tell you what's going on."

"That's why we have to stay locked away upstairs all the time?" Hermione asked. "Because even the Order doesn't understand what's going on?"

"Yes," Tonks answered. "We're lucky they haven't found out about our double agents yet. Without Draco, Christiana, and Jennae we'll never figure out what's going on."

"When will I know anything?" Harry asked.

"Soon we hope," Charlie answered.

"How soon?"

"No one knows that, Harry. We'd tell you if we did."

"I hate being left out of matters that concern me."

"At the moment, you're just being left out," Tonks said.

"What do you mean?"

"Voldemort still wants rid of you, but the hot topic is something other than killing you."

"That's nice to know."

"That's nice for all of us to know," Hermione said.

"It is the best news we've got, Harry," Ginny added.

"But, is this really good news?" Harry questioned.

"I wish we knew what to tell you, Harry," Charlie answered.

"Me, too. Oh and the school year's starting soon. Cheer up! Charlie and I are just two new faces you'll be seeing," Tonks said.

"The two of you will be at Hogwarts?" Ron asked.

"Yes, we will," Charlie replied.

"Doing what?"

"I'll be assisting Hagrid. I forget what Tonks is doing. Security, right?"

"Yes, I'm head of security," Tonks said, "There's also an extra Charms teacher, a floating assistant, a new divination teacher, Lupin is returning to DADA, and I'll be assisting with classes if needed."

"What's with all the extra teachers?" Hermione asked.

"A new type of scheduling Dumbledore and McGonnagal are trying."

"Is there anything else we need to know?" Hermione asked with a yawn, "I'm getting kind of tired."

"I don't think there is. Tonks?" Charlie replied.

"Nothing I can think of. The lot of you should get to bed before fall asleep standing," Tonks said changing her hair from a short, spikey dark blue to a long, layered black style.

"Goodbye and stay out of trouble."

"I agree. Goodbye."

Charlie and Tonks left leaving the group of them with questions, but they were all so tired they decided to save them for later. Tomorrow would come all too soon, and Hermione hoped that grilling Christiana might get some answers about what's going on. Sleep came quickly to them all as they had sweet dreams of quiet peace.
