Ok, before we start I'm just gonna clear up a few things, kay?

This is set a two months after MAX and in that time, they lived at Dr. M's house.

Max is 15 (technically she has to be), while Fang and Iggy are both still fourteen. Nudge is still 11, Gazzy is still 8 and Angel… well we'll let her be seven, like she wants.

Thank you for the nice reviews!

Max POV

I smiled as I let the familiar joy of flying overwhelm me. Flying is an unbeatable experience. I closed my eyes as the air ran through my hair, picking it up, and throwing it every which way. Everything was blocked out by the rush of the wind in my ears… oops I was going too fast, everyone else was lagging behind.

I spun in the air and watched as the dark shapes of the flock and our escorts glided up to meet me.

'You're fast.' Harry looked impressed by my speed. I smiled. 'Yeah. One of my powers.'

'Right.'

The wizards and witches got into some sort of formation around the flock and Harry. 'Remember,' shouted Moody from directly in front of me. 'If one of us gets killed just keep flying. Do not break ranks no matter what! Our goal is to get these kids safely to London. That is our number one priority! Do you hear me?' People would think that he wasn't taking this thing seriously, wouldn't they? Plus, it isn't as if we can't take care of ourselves.

We resumed flying, towards London I guessed. None of us were talking except Nudge, but she might as well have been speaking to her imaginary friend for all anyone else was listening. We were all too wrapped up in our own thoughts. I know I for one was still trying to get over the fact that magic really existed. I mean, we grew up in a science lab, we always thought that this sort of thing was completely unrealistic.

I had I few questions I needed answered though. 'Harry?'

He looked over at me. 'Yes?'

'Are you going to know anybody at the place where we are going?' I asked him. He frowned slightly. 'Well…' he said slowly. 'Tonks said that Ron and Hermione are there which means that the rest of the Weasleys are there too, but that's all I know.'

'Ron and Hermione? The Weasleys?' I questioned.

'Ron and Hermione are my two best friends. The Weasleys are Ron's family, but Hermione is Muggle-born, so her family won't be there.'

'Um, Muggle-born?'

He looked at me as if I were an idiot. 'You know, born with Muggle parents?'

'I don't know what a Muggle is, idiot.' I felt some of my irritation coming back. His face flushed as he realized his mistake. 'Oh, of course. Well, you're a Muggle. Somebody non-magic.'

'Ok, next question. We are going to your school – what's it called again? Hog Forts or something? – and we are supposed to convince people at your school that Voldemort is back, oui? Well, you'll be at classes most of the time, so what are we going to do in that time?'

'OK, one it's Hogwarts, not Hog Forts, and two, how old are you?'

'Hogwarts, Hog Forts, same difference. I turned fifteen a month ago.'

'Right, well I guess you could join us in our classes, you'd definitely find them interesting.' I raised my eyebrows. Who knew school could be interesting? 'We wouldn't actually be learning would we? The flock and schooling don't really mix.' I remembered the bombs that Iggy and Gazzy set off in Virginia with high detail. I also remembered seeing the Red-Haired Wonder and Fang kissing with vivid, painful clarity. I winced mentally and shut that image down. All in the past. I told myself. I realized Harry was talking once more. '… Be allowed to learn since you're a Muggle, so no.' Oh good. I just hoped I would be able to keep my mouth shut during class. That was a lost cause and I knew it.

'Cool. One last question: Where are we actually going?' I was a little bit confused about this.

'You know what? I have absolutely no idea. They won't tell me, so I'm guessing it's somewhere secret.' I rolled my eyes. Of course it's secret. Everywhere I go is secret. Now that I was done interrogating Harry, I flew over next to Fang. He looked over at me and half-smiled, but stayed silent, like I knew he would.

We stayed like this for around twenty minutes and then Moody called out 'Going down!' and went into a steep dive.

We landed in a deserted run down looking old street. 'Nice place…' Fang muttered.

I heard Nudge in the background, quietly describing the scenery to Iggy.

Moody pulled out a white piece of paper and passed it to Harry, who looked at it for a moment, then passed it to me. I looked at it for a moment, and then passed it to Fang and so on. Iggy could see the words against the white of the paper.

The words were: The Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix may be found at Number 12, Grimmauld Place, London.

I looked around. This was London? I was expecting it to be a little… cleaner.

Then I realized something. There was no number 12 Grimmauld Place, on either side of the street. Was this some dumb joke after all?

The rest of the flock and Harry were all looking confused as well. Then suddenly Nudge gasped. I saw it too. On one side of the road were house numbers 10 and 14 but no 12. I guess people had assumed there was a printing mistake or something and hadn't done anything to fix it. But then, with no warning, there was a number 12 Grimmauld Place, right in its place. I couldn't help it. I gasped too. 'It's times like this I wish I could see.' Said Iggy. 'Anything that makes Max gasp has to be big.' Oh yeah, well, I would say that a house appearing in the middle of nowhere, where no house had been before was pretty big. Like, even bigger than the man disappearing into thin air.

Moody stumped up the steps and opened the door. 'C'mon,' he growled at us. 'Inside, quickly.' The flock and I hesitantly stepped inside the dingy building. Were all disappearing houses so hygienically challenged?

Someone with bright red hair appeared in the hallway. I guess it was time to meet our new house mates. Oh, joy.

Omg, the flock is finally going to meet the Order of the Phoenix! Yay! I can't wait to write that chapter! Btw, the review button here is feeling a little rejected so if you could just comfort it by pressing it… Hey, yay has a little red line under it… I thought it was an actual word!
