"What do you reckon they want?" Ron asked as Harry and Hermione as they went downstairs
"I'm not sure, but it's either really important or not important at all because then there would be no harm telling us," Ron looked a little put out by Hermione's answer, he wanted something exciting to happen for once.
"Well, the only way to know is to find out," Harry said and walked ahead of them towards the kitchen.
As they entered the kitchen they realized how tense everyone was, but more noticeable was that Dumbledore looked relieved and excited.
"What do you think is up with Dumbledore?" Ron asked and Harry just shrugged,
"I guess they'll tell us, or I hope so," he muttered before Mrs. Weasley shushed them all and motioned for Dumbledore to speak.
"As you know," he stated, "we are on the brink of an all-out war with Voldemort-" most people flinched "-and we are not as prepared as we wish we were," he took a slow breath and his eyes twinkled,
"You all know Voldemort is powerful no doubt about it, but I happen to know someone even more powerful, and a group of them have agreed to help in the war. Six of them, to be exact," there was muttering around the room.
Sirius was whispering something to Lupin who was nodding, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were having a rapid conversation with Bill. Fred and George had perplexed looks on their face, the first time I had seen them wear that expression.
Hermione was trying to put pieces together, more powerful than you know who? The only person who was more powerful than him was Dumbledore and possibly Harry if he trained more.
Dumbledore called for silence and continued with his speech, "They will explain their stories to all the members of the order, no children should hear what they say, it is of the utmost importance. If Voldemort knew what they are, we're doomed," he ended solemnly.
"They will be arriving in ten minutes and they will all share a room, their past is traumatic and they prefer to stay together," his eyes became cold, "they are probably the most powerful people you've met in your lives, even their extremely powerful parents fear them when they combine their powers,"
"If you want to survive to see morning, do not provoke them. They have fought in many battles and have reflexes faster than you can imagine. They are always on guard and ready for battle, never have them as your enemy," as soon as Dumbledore ended his speech, there was a loud shout from the dining room.
"KELP HEAD!"
