"What's happening?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"We are having an emergency Order meeting. I'm afraid that my worst fears since the death of Jenny Chang has been realised."
"Jenny Chang?" Cho muttered like she recognised the name. She also seemed slightly scared. Harry stared at Dumbledore and saw Dumbledore gazing at Cho then his gaze went to Harry.
"Jenny tells me that you had another dream or vision." Dumbledore said. Harry noticed Jenny standing nervously next to Dumbledore. "What did you see this time?" Harry saw all eyes on him and slowly began to explain every detail. He stared at Dumbledore the entire time and was terrified about what Mrs. Weasley's reaction would be to Percy's death. He heard her gasp and start weeping but he never took his gaze off Dumbledore. As Harry finished telling what had happened he felt Hermione squeeze his forearm slightly. Harry quickly turned to look at her before looking back at Dumbledore. Harry had never seen Dumbledore look so serious and worried.
"Thank you Harry." Dumbledore said. "Now you see why I have brought organised this meeting so suddenly, I am pleased so many of you were able to come. Of course I am glad that our younger members to be could come and Miss Chang. I am afraid that you must never speak of what you are about to hear." Cho nodded nervously.
"Is April alright?" Sirius asked. Harry had noticed he had been trying hard not to say anything. Cho looked at Sirius and gave a squeal and hid behind Harry.
"It's alright Miss. Chang. Sirius is perfectly safe." Dumbledore said. "And yes, April is fine, she will recover in a few days, she is currently sleeping off the curses she took. I, however, would be more concerned on your daughter's well being. After all, she will be the easiest way for Voldemort to kill April." Sirius looked in surprised, as did almost everyone else but Harry, Lupin and Dumbledore. Jenny was trying to make herself as small as possible and hid behind Dumbledore slightly. Harry had never seen her so shy. Sirius looked at Lupin but Harry saw Lupin avoid Sirius' gaze.
"Mr and Mrs. Weasley, I am very sorry for the death of your son but you must understand that he did not die through choice. It was not your fault and no one is to blame themselves for this loss." Dumbledore said. Mrs. Weasley started crying again and Ginny was shaking slightly. Harry felt his scar give another throb and he closed his eyes for a moment. The moment he did he saw Percy's pale dead face. He opened his eyes again quickly and stared around the room.
"What is this?" Cho asked very quietly, very slowly. Everyone seemed to look at her and she seemed to shrink even more.
"This, miss. Chang is the Order of the Phoenix, it is an organisation that I started during Voldemort's first rising to fight against him. Before we were unprepared and dangerously outnumbered. We would have all been killed if it wasn't for the death and self-sacrifice of two very brave members and the birth of the boy that stands in front of us. This time we were given a warning into his rising again and we are prepared and we are ever battling against Voldemort. The moment you attend a meeting you are a member of the Order. I am sorry if you do not want to dedicate your life to fighting Voldemort. Ron, Ginny, Harry, Hermione and Jenny have all, already decided they are willing to give up their lives. If you wish to have no part in this then you may have your memory modified, we cannot risk-"
"I want to help." Cho said bravely. "I want to help bring him down. He killed Cedric and my dad said he killed my aunt."
"Jenny Chang." Dumbledore told her. Harry saw Ron's eyebrows rise slightly. Cho nodded and took a step next to Harry. He was intensely aware he had two beautiful girls either side of him and Jenny stood looking at the floor seriously.
"Now, back to matters that are more pressing. I am aware that many have lost people we have loved and people we love. But it is important that we put the losses behind us for a while until Hogwarts and the magical world is completely safe. Unfortunately my worst fears are beginning to emerge. The occurrence of Harry's vision and the attack on April this evening has forced me to realised that Hogwarts is no longer safe, that Voldemort has followers in the school as well as out. Who these followers are? I don't know but I do know that they are students." Harry saw Ron clench his knuckles so tight that they were going white. Harry knew who was the deatheaters in the school as well as Hermione did. Hermione let out a shaky breath and Dumbledore continued. "I am scared that Voldemort may attempt to take over the school. As many people know Hogwarts is one of the most protective buildings in the country. Should Voldemort take this school over I fear that it may be near impossible to defeat him." The order started whispering. Jenny used this opportunity to get next to Harry. Cho had sat down on a seat and looked slightly overwhelmed. Mrs. Weasley was fighting back tears and Ginny was holding onto her older brother Bill for comfort. Harry's scar prickled uncomfortably.
"What do you mean, nearly impossible?" Sirius asked.
"I mean that only one person will be able to defeat him but if Voldemort has the school then it will almost be impossible for that person to survive." Dumbledore explained. Dumbledore looked at Harry and Harry stared back. "Now, I must beg you all, as usual not to tell anyone outside this room. Those members who were not present will be informed and I will inform you all when April has woken up. Please return to what you were doing and I will have another meeting after the school has broken up. Jenny, Harry, I would like you to stay behind. Sirius you must stay as well to take Jenny back to Grimmauld place." Everyone nodded and murmured their goodbyes in dull, sad voices. After well over half the order had left and Mrs. Weasley had given her children, Harry and Hermione a teary goodbye she left with Mr. Weasley, Bill and the twins, who promised to provide some entertainment over the holidays.
"Remus, have you found a job yet?" Dumbledore asked Lupin casually as he quickly wrote a few things on a piece of parchment.
"Not yet sir." Lupin said.
"Good, I will be requesting that Fudge put you on a squad to assist April protect the school. It is the most he can do while he is still minister." Dumbledore said. Lupin looked happily at Dumbledore.
"Thank you sir" He said. Lupin turned to Harry, "Keep practicing ok?" He said. Harry nodded and Lupin gave Harry's shoulder a squeeze before leaving the office the same way everyone else had left the room, via floo powder. Soon only the students and Sirius were left in the room with Dumbledore.
"Miss. Chang, are you feeling quite alright?" Dumbledore asked. Harry looked with Jenny at Cho, who looked slightly pale and surprised. "I know that this may have been very new and a bit too much for you to absorb in one go. Please go to Madame Pomfrey and tell her that the order sent you, she'll know what to do."
"Yes sir." Cho said standing up. She gave a quick look at Jenny, who was holding onto Harry's hand tightly and hugging his arm slightly. Cho quickly left the room.
"Will you be staying or leaving?" Dumbledore asked Ron, Ginny and Hermione.
"I'd like them to stay." Harry said. Jenny nodded her agreement.
"Very well." Dumbledore said. "Will you all sit down." Chairs appeared for all five of them and Sirius leaned against the wall keeping his eyes on Jenny. He seemed slightly troubled and Jenny looked uncomfortable under his stare.
"Dumbledore, can I ask a few questions?" Sirius asked. Dumbledore looked at him.
"If they aren't too personal." Dumbledore said, knowing who Sirius wanted to ask about.
"Jenny is my daughter?" Sirius asked surprised. Jenny gave a shy smile and looked at Dumbledore.
"Yes she is, Sirius. She was conceived a few days before you were sent to Azkaban. Now I must talk to Harry and Jenny."
"Professor, I was wondering, will April be alright?" Ginny asked.
"Yes, she will be perfectly fine" Dumbledore said. "Now, Harry, Jenny. I want you to be very careful over the next few months. I will send you home with everyone else but I do not want you to leave Grimmauld place. It is too dangerous, particularly for you two."
"Why?" Harry asked. "I get why I'm in danger but Jenny?"
"Firstly, Jenny is the daughter of the head auror. You must understand as Jenny does, that an Auror's greatest weakness is their love for their family. April is feared among deatheaters so much so that she is one of Voldemort's main targets."
"How do you know that?" Sirius asked.
"Because I have my contacts, Sirius. Secondly is that if Voldemort was to hurt either one of you two it would be very dangerous. I am not supposed to show favouritism amongst my students but I must admit I love all of you like you are my great grandchildren." Dumbledore said sincerely to the five teens. "Harry, you are the only one who can kill Voldemort, we cannot afford to lose you so for that you must be kept safe. Which leads me to Mr and Miss. Weasley and Miss Granger. You will also stay in Grimmauld place this winter as Voldemort will be after you as well. I did not want to share this information but you have been targeted as well by Voldemort." Hermione let out a slightly high squeal and Ginny gasped. Ron just went completely pale. He reminded Harry of when they had gone to find Aragog in the forbidden forest.
"Now, I must urge you to go home for your protection Jenny, as your godfather I think it would be wise for you to stay away from where you could easily be hurt." Dumbledore said.
"But I want to stay with Harry and Ginny." Jenny said, She held onto Harry's arm slightly tighter and Harry let himself snake his arm around her thin waist.
"Now, Jenny." Dumbledore said sternly.
"Jenny, you have to come. I am not going to let anything else happen to April and if you stay and get hurt then it will be my neck." Sirius said.
"What gives you the right to tell me what to do?" Jenny snapped at Sirius.
"Jenny." Dumbledore warned. Hermione, Harry, Ron and Ginny watched and listened with interest.
"Jenny I'm your father and I want you to go home-" Sirius started but Jenny cut him short.
"You aren't my father. You were in Azkaban for most of my life and then when you came out you didn't even try and contact mum" Jenny said heatedly.
"Jenny" Harry said through his teeth as he saw Sirius' temper start to rise. Jenny glanced at Harry then crossed her arms and tried not to look at Sirius. "Give him a chance, Sirius is a cool person if you just let him try and look after you." Harry said.
"Why should I give him a chance?" Jenny said glaring at her dad.
"Because he's your dad, no matter what you want to think." Harry said.
"What if I don't want a dad?" Jenny said, "I'm fine with one parent." Sirius glared at her daughter with annoyance, he knew that he couldn't hate her for what she was saying because it was perfectly true. Hermione winced slightly at Jenny's comment. Both Ron and Hermione knew how sensitive Harry was about his parents, or lack of.
"Well at least you have parents." Harry said slightly annoyed. Jenny suddenly looked very sorry.
"I'm sorry Harry." She said. Harry felt more annoyed.
"Jenny I think you should go." Dumbledore said, "before people realise what will be going on." Jenny nodded and gave Harry a quick kiss on the cheek, even though he didn't respond to it. She gave Ginny and Ron quick hugs saying bye and hesitated slightly in front of Hermione. Hermione pulled her into a sisterly hug though there was some obvious tension between them.
"We'll see you in a few days." Hermione said. Jenny nodded and went to the fireplace where she threw some floo powder into the fire and stepped through the green flames. Once she had gone Sirius turned to Harry.
"You behave yourself until I see you again." Sirius said with a slight smile. "And I want to have a talk with you about my daughter next time I see you." Harry grinned and nodded.
"Sure." He said. Sirius gave him a wink and left the office through the fire.
"Well, now you four." Dumbledore started
"Yes sir" Harry said knowing what Dumbledore was going to say. He got hold of Hermione's arm when she didn't respond and followed Ginny and Ron out of the office. Hermione suddenly stopped on the stairs.
"What's up Hermione?" Ginny asked. Hermione's eyes were darting everywhere.
"I'll see you in the common room." She said as Hermione turned and ran up the stairs
"What the-" Ron started.
"Professor, I need to tell you something" They heard Hermione say before the door closed.
