Unable to sleep Harry left his bed at five thirty and started gathering his things. The trunk was empty and so he managed to take it out of the wardrobe and open it in the middle room. He soon filled it with all of his clothes, his Hogwarts books, some of his favorite magazines, the photoalbum that Hagrid had given him some years before as well as some other minor objects he didn't want to leave back. An hour later he had everything he needed. His broom was at the top of his trunk in case they'd travel with that and Hedwig was in her cage on the top of the closed trunk as well. Harry already dressed and washed up left his room as fast as he could. It made him sad not knowing for sure when or if he'd see it again. When at the kitchen he decided to prepare some breakfast for everyone. He put some water to boil for their tea and started toasting some bread. Ten minutes later when the tea was ready in a big tea-jug he buttered himself a toasted slice of bread. He didn't have the slightest appetite but he knew he'd need his energy today.

His godfather's voice saying good morning made him jump in surprise. He was deeply lost in his thoughts and hadn't listened Sirius coming into the kitchen.

" You scared me Sirius! Good morning..."

"Sorry kid. Did you sleep well?", he asked sitting down and smiling seeing the breakfast Harry had prepared. Looking back at his godson he saw the black circles and knew the answer before Harry shook his head.

"How about you?", Harry asked and Sirius smiled at him shaking his head as well. "I got all my stuff ready.", said Harry and Sirius nodded.

"Sirius? Are you still mad at me?", he asked anxiously.

"No Harry. I'm not. I'm glad that at least in the end you heard us. That's the important thing. Now we'll go at Hogwarts things will be a little harder for all of us Harry. I need you to try and understand that none of us will be as free as before to do whatever he likes. We'll talk more about this when All and Ses wake up. No need to say this twice. But now that we're alone, I want you to promise me that you will obey and not go off trying to seek information on the situation. It's dangerous for you Harry. Promise me that you'll behave.", Sirius answered.

Harry breathed a silent sigh of relief in the last words. If he'd promise before he'd lie, but now he was just asked to promise to behave. Not even how he'll behave. Well that was kind of obvious but still technically he didn't lie when he nodded. Sirius looked at him worriedly not a hundred percent sure if the kid meant this.

"Hey Sirius I need to talk to you about something... Look as you realised yesterday I had my first date with Cho... Now I know that it is totally insignificant with the situation as it is...", Harry began, when Sirius cut him off,

"It is significant Harry, our lives don't stop here."

"Yeah... Well, how am I supposed to handle this? I mean I'll have to tell her that i'll move to the castle right? What if she asks to come to my home at some point. I'll have to tell her. And am I supposed to hide this from her? The vision and everything? I really don't know what to do...", Harry asked.

Sirius sighed deeply, "Look Harry. It is crucial that for the time being at least no one learns where we live. So i'm afraid that you'll have to find a way to avoid Cho coming home. As for the visions you won't by any means share it with no one else than those who already know. It could lead to a disaster. Unfortunately you need to keep this secret from her. You could tell her there is something like a family crisis and thus you won't be as free to do things as she probably is. But I do want to warn you again about her... I don't like her Harry.".

Harry nodded, "Don't worry she won't learn anything. As for the liking part it's me who dates her Sirius not you!", he snapped, but quickly apologized when he saw Sirius' glare.

"Harry I want you and your siblings double careful from now on. That girl probably doesn't care about things like classes or curfew but I need you to be very careful on them. Even ten minutes of you being late under these circumstances will make me sick with worry and will alert all of us. I'm just warning you here. Date Cho for as long as you like. But I want you to remember even when with her that you are to be very typical on your responsibilities."

Harry nodded his agreement once again. Then leaving the table he went upstairs and hearing sounds coming out of it he entered Ses' room.

"G'morning...", she said smiling a sad smile at him.

Harry smiled back and hugged his little sister tightly. "Emotional for leaving?", he asked while breaking the hug.

Ses sneered at that, "More like emotional that my brother's murderer-wannabe is alive again!", she croaked.

"Don't worry Ses. Everything will end up just fine... I promise you!", she smiled at him hearing that.

"You packed already?", she asked him, to which Harry nodded gloomly.

"You do realise that living at Hogwarts gives us tremendous advantages right?", she asked a mischievous twink in her eyes.

"More like tremendous DISadvantages! We'll have half the Order over our heads as well as the professors and all the parents together Ses!", he pointed out, but Ses' smile didn't vanish.

"Yeah but we know Hogwarts like the back of our hands Harry! We'll have full access to the library the whole day, we know every passage and every hiding spot to use! We'll maybe even be able to sneak into meetings!", Ses answered back.

"Well, you do have a point!", answered Harry.

"You bet she has!", their brother said, who was at the door watching them during the most of the conversation without them seeing him, and scaring them to death. "Hogwarts is our vantage point Harry. You'll see. Plus, all the parents will be together, BUT all of us will be together as well!", he said with a wink.

All of them smiled at that.

"Done packing already Ses?", asked Allan then mockingly.

"Are you kidding? I haven't even packed all of my clothes yet! And I still have make up, shoes, broom, books, jewelry...", and she kept counting while the boys groaning left the room.

At Lupin's home, the situation was likewise. Eric who hadn't time to unpack after yesterday's moving in had nothing to do so he helped around his guardians. After all was done, Dora and Remus took him in the living room.

When they all sat down, Dora asked him worriedly, "Tell me you didn't regret coming to us Eric...".

Eric looked at her stunned at that, "What? No of course I don't regret it! You are the best thing that has ever happened to me! It's just kind of new and to be honest huge to me all this... I mean dealing with the fact that all those that i've just accepted as a family are in danger is kind of hard... But i'm proud to be with such brave people as you lot are. And i'll stand beside Harry and the Order. I promise you that!", he said his Gryffindor self coming to surface.

Remus snapped at that, "You will do no such thing Eric Nathan Lupin!"

Eric couldn't but smile though at hearing his full name with his new last name at the end, a fact that softened Remus as well, who tried now more calmly, "I mean, you sounded like you expected to fight around with us or something! Which you can absolutely forget!".

Dora nodded her head at that. And Eric defeated nodded as well. They would fight in their way with the others, but the adults didn't need to know that. That thought made him smile. It was great to have friends and family. "Don't worry Remus honestly. Just promise me you won't go get harmed or anything... Please.", Eric said worriedly now.

"We promise you son.", Remus said.

"You're stuck with us kiddo.", added Tonks and ruffling his hair she got up and scanned the house for anything they might had forgotten.

Albus was in his office reading something a thoughtful expression on his face, when he heard a sharp knock at the door. He knew by the sound of it that it had to be Severus.

"Please come in", he said kindly and professor Snape hurried in the room and sat himself opposite the headmaster.

"I have the information you asked me to gather sir.", he said and seeing the older wizard nodding he continued, "He wants something from the ministry. He has already assigned to some of his most loyal followers to try and worm their way in the ministry. He didn't tell us what it is. He is determined to get it though. His plan is not to draw even the slightest attention for now. He wants to make his appearance as we suspected when he has his people everywhere so that there won't be a possibility for the wizardring world to react or stand a chance against him. That's all he has let us know.".

Dumbledore looked the wizard in the eyes and thanked him, "Thank you so much Severus.. It's a blessing for us to have you in the Order. I'm grateful for your efforts and the constant risk you put yourself in to help us."

Snape just nodded and with his face unreadable excused himself.

"I'll let you know about the meeting, Severus.", said Albus before the door of his office closed. Closing the book he was reading, he wrote these words on a parchment: 8 o' clock, room of requirement. Then he turned to his phoenix, "Fawkes I need you to deliver this to all our members please.", the phoenix let out a trill of agreement and with a puffing sound he dissapeared from the office.

A couple of hours later Albus heard a second knock on his door, lifting up his head he saw professor McGonagall on the door announcing him the arrival of Sirius and Remus. Albus followed her to her office where it was decided they'd floo and led them to their quarters which were at the south tower of the castle. There at the first floor Remus, Dora and Eric entered their apartment while Sirius and the kids went on the first floor where theirs was. The Weaselys would occupy the one on the third floor as the headmaster informed them and let them get comfortable. The apartments were completely furnished and beautiful while everyone had their own room and an attached bathroom. The kids unpacked as fast as they could so that they'd be able to keep an eye on the adults. Harry and Allan finished within an hour and Eric made his way downstairs to find them ten minutes later as well. They all waited for Ses at the living room.

When Sirius was not around Harry quickly whispered to the other two, "Dumbledore's phoenix delivered a note to Sirius that said room of requirement 8 o' clock. That means a meeting. Sirius didn't realise I saw. He hasn't tell us anything yet probably wanting to avoid us trying to get in the meeting.".

Allan nodded, "We'll tell the others when they arrive and see what we'll do after lunch. Let's meet at the lake. There we'll be safer in organizing a plan."

The other two nodded. When Sirius' footsteps were heard they quickly shifted to a groaning-for-Ses-who-unpacks-forever mode and he just smiled not suspecting a thing.

When Ses was done too they all raised to leave the apartment when Sirius told them, "Where to, guys?"

Allan shrug his shoulders, "Just around school. You said it's safe right?"

Sirius smiled, "Of course it is. Just let us know before you leave for somewhere please. After lunch today we'll need you for a while. Me, Remus, Dora, Molly and Arthur will meet with the headmaster shortly to discuss and decide on some ground rules for you while you're here. So please before you leave for doing anything after lunch stay for a while. Ok? We'll eat all together at the great hall today.", he told them and the kids all nodded and then turned again to leave.

After some hanging all together and some alone time for the couples they all headed to the Great Hall to have lunch. The adults were all at the teacher's dining table and they called the kids there as well.

When all eating was done the headmaster spoke, "Now that we all enjoyed this wonderful meal I think that some talking needs to be done. Our dear children, knowing the situation we believe you understand the importance of you being safe. To achieve that we thought along with your parents and guardians some basic rules that you'll have to follow in order for us to be sure you are safe. First of all you don't go anywhere without letting an adult know. I know it might looks harsh but we cannot afford taking risks. If we know where you are we can come in case anything happens. Secondly you will always and everywhere keep on you this.", he said and held up for everyone to see a coin. "It is a muggle coin so that you won't mistake it as a magical one and spend it. It is a portkey. If you ever find yourselves in a situation from which you need to leave then you will just touch the coin. It is enchanted to "know" when you touch it with purpose to use it under dangerous circumstances or when it's done by accident.", saying that he gave each kid one coin and continued, " Your curfew will be ten o' clock. For all of you...", that had as result complaints from all the kids who shouted and yelled that ten was too early and it wasn't fair and other alike comments. When everyone calmed down Albus continued, "Ten o' clock kids and that's final. BUT you are allowed depending on the curfews that your parents and guardians will give you to be all together inside your tower. Additionally, as I previously told you you are not to attend any of the meetings or try to otherwise track down information other than the ones we decide to share with you. It is the one rule that we'll be stricter on, I warn you. You need to trust us and let us handle things. You won't be held in the dark but you won't learn everything either. These rules along with any other that your parents or guardians decide to impose on you are as I again told you to keep you safe. And last but not least we talked about something and now need to know if miss Granger agrees with us. Miss Granger we'd all feel a lot better if you were living with some adult in the tower as well. So if you wouldn't mind we thought that you could be in Remus' and Dora's care.", Hermionie who didn't expect that but really liked Remus and Tonks agreed at once. Plus that way she would be even closer to Allan... "Please work with us kids.", said the headmaster once again. Looking each and everyone of the teens directly in the eye, the headmaster smiled again and said in a lighter mood, "Now you can go and have some good time all of you. But before you leave remember the rule about telling your whereabouts please...", The kids getting up gloomily mumbled something about the lake and left the great hall with slumbed shoulders.

Down at the lake they all sat in a circle.

Allan talked first, "I have thought of a plan.", Harry nodded and they all listened to him, "Three of us will follow one of the members to the meeting under the invisibility cloak. Four others will be on the look-out at different hidden spots that are near the room of requirement as well as the corridors leading to it. If anything happens some of those needs to warn the rest of us as fast as possible. That's why I think the one should be me because I know how to cast a patronus who'll reach the rest of us before any of the members does. Now two others will stay at the tower in order to cover for the rest of us and delay anyone who come to check on us. That way the rest will be able to sneak back in. I know it's not much but I couldn't think of anything better.", he said.

"I like it", Harry said and after all the others nodded he said, "Me, Ron and Hermionie will go into the meeting. Is everyone ok with that?", he asked and all nodded quickly. None of them wanted to risk so much as to get in there after the speech the headmaster had given them. Harry continued, "Cool. Then All, Jin, Fred and George will be at the lookouts. We'll check the map to decide which spots are the best. And Ses and Eric will be at the rooms. They're the best talkers by far and they can delay anyone sufficiently enough. Do you all agree?", he asked once again. When all nodded they relaxed for a little bit longer and then headed back to their tower not wanting to draw any suspicions.

At seven forty-five that evening, Sirius called the kids and announced them he'd go to a meeting. After telling them not to leave the tower before his coming back he left. At the same time Arthur and Molly closed their door and started climbing down the stairs. As the kids had decided Eric delayed Remus for a minute or two asking about why were they not allowed to the meetings, so that he'd head to go for the meeting a little bit after the others. In the meantime the trio had already climbed down the stairs and waited for Remus to exit the tower which he did a couple of minutes later and they followed him closely trying not to breath in fear they'd be heard. Jinny and the others exited the tower and remained hidden until seeing Remus entering the castle and then they ran to enter from a different entrance to the castle and take their posts. Harry, Ron and Hermionie managed to slid behind Remus inside the room and went to sit in a safe distance but close to the door so that they could easily exit the room along the member that would make the first exit. They stayed there and heard all the things Snape had found out and had earlier that day shared with Dumbledore. None of them could guess something in the ministry though that Voldemort could want in any way. After 45 minutes Remus rose and told the other members he'd go check on the kids. Harry Ron and Mionie followed him closely once again and managed to exit the room. When Allan saw Remus leaving for the tower he cast his patronus and sent him through the window to warn Eric and Ses. When he was in a safe hearing distance all four of them started running to exit the castle and go to the tower unseen.

When Remus went inside the tower he climbed to the second floor and opened without knocking the door of Sirius' apartment only to find Ses and Eric making out passionately on the couch. The kids thought that it would delay him enough to manage both the trio enter the room as well as the the four others go up to the Weaselys' apartment.

"What are you doing here?", he asked a little more sternly than he wanted to.

Ses shot up hearing him and playing her part wonderfully played it all surprised and anxious he saw them like that. "Uh... we were just hanging around Rem... No big deal!", she said trying to comb her messy hair with her fingers.

"Yes sir, honestly we were only talking... And well kissing a little...", Eric said standing beside Ses.

Remus closed the door and glancing at the clock decided he could spare some minutes to talk to these two. "Look guys as you know we have no problem in you two dating. But since we're more or less one door away now, I don't want you two all alone in one of the apartments. I don't mind you dating, but making out like this, lying down in an empty apartment is another story. Ok?", he asked.

"But Remus...", started Eric trying to buy some more time for the others, but his step father held up a hand.

"Not now Eric. We'll discuss this later.", then continued suspiciously "Where are the others?".

Ses gulped and aswered anxiously that they should be upstairs. Remus shot a warning glare at both of them, starting to realise what they were doing. "You don't move an inch, do you hear me?", he said dangerously and exiting he climbed up the stairs to the Weasely's apartment and opened the door only to see the twins, Ron, Jinny and Allan playing exploding snap. "Where are Harry Ron and Hermionie?", he asked immediately.

Allan shrugged at that, "How would we know? Sirius told us not to go anywhere and we just hang here coz Ses was downstairs with Eric. I think the three of them are somewhere in the other rooms."

The indifferent tone in All's voice persuaded Remus who closing the door went back downstairs not making a sound. Those four probably didn't know anything about this. Putting his ear on the door he heard Ron's excited voice telling Ses and Eric what they had kids had entered right after Remus was occupied interrogating the other four upstairs.

"Hush Ronald!", Hermionie scolded, "Remus will come down here any minute now!"

"We'll hear him Hermionie! Didn't you hear how loudly he was running upstairs?".

At those words Remus snapped the door opene and said in a dead serious voice "Cloak off. NOW!". With shaking hands Harry pulled the cloak off of them and stared at the furious eyes of their beloved werewolf...

Please review! I hope you ennjoyed it... :)
