The next morning at breakfast all three of the people Harry wanted to see were missing; Albus, James and Lily. He finished quickly and ran to the DADA classroom and was going to knock on the office door when he noticed it was open. He didn't hear anything so he pushed it open and found Lily and James kissing. He coughed and they jumped apart like guilty students.

Harry was trying to keep a straight face when he said, "I'm glad you two have figured it out. But please don't let me see that again, it may damage my psyche. Whose parents snog in front of their kids?" James and Lily glared at him and he busted out laughing, "Seriously, I glad you're together. I didn't mean to interrupt but I think I know the answer to our biggest problem. Can we get a meeting with Professor Dumbledore?"

"He's away from school until this afternoon." James said, "Can it wait until after classes?"

"I guess so I don't think were in immediate danger." Harry said, "Ok, I'll leave now so you can go back to snogging, but keep in mind to close the door next time and you have fifteen minutes until class, if you're late I'm telling McGonagall why." Harry quickly shut the door and ran out of the room before either professor could hex him.

Later that afternoon in Dumbledore's office Harry was all business, he repeated his conversation with Draco. They all agreed with Harry's assessment, Voldemort was after the sword of Gryffindor and was going to make it his last Horcrux. Then they started discussing who could be his biggest problem.

Harry said to Albus, "In my world the only person Voldemort was afraid of was you."

"What about you, wasn't he afraid of you?" Albus asked, "Wasn't that why he attacked you as a baby?"

Harry shook his head, "He always underestimated me. He thought I was just hiding behind you and other people. He was scared of things that happened when he attacked me. But he thought I wouldn't be able to defeat him until I was older and more mature in my magic. I'm sure he was very surprised when he died."

Albus laughed, "I'm sure he was." More seriously he continued, "We'll need to have an Order meeting, probably this weekend. Harry I want you there to watch for any more who could be under the imperious curse. I'm going to contact Gringotts about that cup."

Friday after dinner Harry received a note from Dumbledore. Saturday, after breakfast, my office, eat early. Harry though it was odd to have an Order meeting so early in the day. But as asked he was up early and at breakfast before it was served. After breakfast Harry followed Albus out of the Great Hall and to his office. James followed a few moments later.

They all took seats and Albus began, "I went to Gringotts yesterday and spoke to the head Goblin. I had to wait until late afternoon because he was in meetings all day. Turns out that the Ministry has decided to regulate Gringotts. They are asking for a summary of all accounts. The Goblins are furious. We all know that Voldemort is behind this. He has finally gained control over the minister. I believe they want to take stock of the muggle born accounts before they move to start persecuting them. I told them we are close to being able to stop them but we have one more thing we need. Then I asked for the cup. Since the Lestranges are the ones pushing for the summary, the Goblins were more than happy to turn over a dark object from their vault. Today we need to decide when to destroy them and how to protect the students should he come here to find out what happened."

James and Harry thought for a while. Finally James suggested, "I think we need to contact Beauxbatons and possible three other schools. We can portkey each house to a different school. That way the children of death eaters won't give away all the other houses."

"We should send Narcissa to a school or safe place too." Harry added.

"Of course." Albus smiled, "We are having an order meeting tonight we will start planning. Tomorrow, we start instituting the plan. I want emergency portkeys set up as soon as we get confirmation from the other schools."

At the meeting later that evening Albus said, "Very soon it will be time to protect this school against the threat of dark forces. I have learned this week that the ministry is now under his full control. As we speak they are trying to force Gringotts to turn over account information. We all need to decide what to do about our future. We have found out that Voldemort is trying to set up a large scale operation for this spring and we need to act before he does. And we are going to need all the help we can get. You are all active members but you know some that are inactive I think it's time to bring them in along with any others that want to help. We need to keep this as quiet as possible."

This sparked many questions and comments from the group. Mr. Weasley spoke up, "I have Bill and the twins here, and I can get Charlie if we have enough lead time. But I would like to make sure Ginny and Ron will not be included." Harry decided that Percy must be as big of a pain here as in his own world, he also didn't like the idea of the twins involved but he would tell Albus later.

"Excellent Arthur." Albus smiled, "We do not intend on having any of the students at the school when it comes time. They are all to be moved to secret, safe locations."

"Locations? Do you mean in several places?" Someone asked.

"We don't want all our eggs in one basket so to speak." Albus stated, "Some here are afraid we have a few rotten ones, we are keeping them separate by house."

Discussions went long into the evening. It was very late when Harry finally got to bed. Not much had been ironed out but they were making progress. Harry kept at his studies but was working more and more on his animagus forms and dueling practice. One dueling practice in May he was going to be fighting James, Sirius, Remus and Lily. They had moved to multiples against Harry because he could defeat one or two so quickly. The better he got the more of them it took to stop him.

They had been using four against one for the last two weeks and Moody was referee today. After an hour and a half Harry was getting tired. Lily and Remus were resting behind a rock and Sirius and James were about to call them back. Harry decided to try his animagus form in battle to see what would happen. He waited for the signal that James would send the others to return. Once the signal was given they came from behind the boulder to take over.

Harry made his move, he transformed into his Phoenix and he was ready to stun them when they all just stopped in their tracks staring at him, mouths open. Harry sent stunners and summoned their wands. All four wands clattered to the ground near the phoenix. Before he could transform he felt a spell come towards him from behind. He blocked it then transformed back into his human form. He sat near the wands and said, "No fair Moody you weren't supposed to be playing."

Moody chuckled, "All's fair in love and war. Nice move. Good idea to try that in practice first, when did you finish?"

"First full transformation was before Christmas." Harry smiled, "The magic didn't come until a little later. I have a few secret tricks up my sleeve. Can't wait to see what old Volde thinks of them."

Moody was thoughtful, "I don't know of another animagus of a magical animal, is that why you can do magic while in the form?" Harry nodded. Moody smiled, "Just one more question why did you wait so long to use that today, you could have ended the exercise in the first five minutes."

"What good would that do me?" Harry asked, "I want to increase my endurance not skive off. I only tried it today because I wanted to see how useful it was in battle. I sensed you releasing that spell before it even left your wand. "

"That's helpful. Lets rouse these laze abouts." Moody and Harry revived the four and they sat up groaning.

James was the first to recover and started grinning madly, "When did you become an animagus, that's brilliant."

"You didn't know? I thought for sure McGonagall would have told you." Harry was confused.

"We rarely talk about private lessons." Lily smiled, "I'm sure she wanted to let you tell everyone."

"Oh, well guess what, I'm an animagus Phoenix." Harry grinned, "I transformed for the first time just before Christmas. Professor McGonagall said I was the fastest she had ever helped and the first magical animal."

"Wow, that's just three months." Remus was shocked, "I've known a few animagi and all of them took a year or more. So did you work it out with Moody ahead of time to stun us all while we were gaping at you?"

"No I stunned you." Harry laughed, "I also blocked a stun from Moody. "

Everyone was staring with open mouths again and Moody said, "I keep tell you all this kids got more surprises than Christmas. But nobody listens to old Moody, he's just a paranoid old Auror."

Harry was laughing and thought I wonder what they would think of my other forms? He was still thinking about that when Moody called an end to practice. He, Remus and Sirius left quickly they had other things to do. Lily and James sat talking with Harry for a little while. Finally Harry decided to show them his other forms, but they had to swear to secrecy, he didn't even want Dumbledore to know yet.

"I have something else I want to show you, but it's to be just between us. I don't want it to leave this room." They promised and Harry continued, "Lily do you remember that bit of text at the end of the book on Merlin that I was translating?" She nodded, "It's not a legend."

Harry took a few steps back and transformed into his Falcon, the second form he had tried. James and Lily were very surprised. Harry continued changing from one animal to the next touching on his favorites and ended with what he considered the best one for war, a Hungarian Horntail Dragon. He had picked that dragon because he had the closest look at that kind. He sat in his dragon form for a few moments to let them get a feel for it then he turned away and let off a jet of flame. It was just a short spurt, just enough for them to know.

Then he transformed back to his human self, "What do you think?"

"Oh, my. Does Minerva know?" Lily asked. Harry shook his head.

Harry looked at James who was still recovering from the shock. He was slowly starting to grin, "I've known since you got here that if you were fighting on our side we would win. Now, it's even better, Moody's right more surprises than Christmas. Oh, by the way Lily, I think I should tell you that Sirius and I are animagi too and Peter is.."

"A rat." Harry finished form him, "James is a stag and Sirius is a dog they did it to help Remus. They are why I wanted to be an animagus too. Before I knew you guys were here I had asked Professor Dumbledore for Animagus lessons this year. I wanted to carry on the family traditions. I even managed to fall for a red head."

"I always thought Sirius was a dog." Lily laughed.

They left the Room of Requirement and headed down for lunch, before they reached it Albus stopped them. He told Lily, "Let Minerva know its time." He waited until she left and told James and Harry, "I've just returned from Gringotts. The Goblins have had to release the information. He'll know before long, we need to destroy them now."

The three turned on their heels and headed to the Headmaster's office. Albus handed Harry the Sword and gathered the bags containing Horcruxes. With Harry under the Invisibility Cloak they hurried to the Room of Requirement. Just as they exited the office Harry heard McGonagall's voice announce though out the school, "This is a drill everyone report to the Great Hall."

They had been having drills periodically to ensure everyone would report to the Hall without alerting death eaters. No food would be on the table, even during lunch, but the house elves always provided drinks. Today's drinks would contain a sleeping potion. Hospitalized students would be moved after the rest of the students were gone. Madam Pomfrey would follow her patients and other Healers would be coming to help at the school. Madam Pomfrey would return after her charges were settled.

The three reached the Room of Requirement and Harry asked for a room to help them destroy the Horcruxes. When it opened the room contained a large flat rock in the center with some protective walls to shield observers. Albus laid out the first Horcrux, the diary, James did the spell to make sure it was still the Horcurx, it was. All three sent detecting spells over the book making sure there wasn't anything nasty. Then they sat it aside. They did the same with each of the other Horcruxes. To one side were the Horcruxes without curses and the other were those that had curses.
