When Angelina and Ron arrived in the Great Hall, they found the whole school there, listening to Sphinx talk about the Order of the Phoenix. Several people were looking up in shock, and disbelief. Others had sort of grins on their faces, and were whispering excitedly to one another.
"Are there any questions?" Sphinx asked.
"So, if anyone is hit by the Killing Curse they get to go into the Order of the Phoenix?" Asked Colin Creevy.
"Look, don't go killing yourself just because you want to go into the Order," Ivy said. "We don't choose everyone. Besides, we'll probably be changing the way we get members soon."
"Any more questions?"
"Are all of you recruits?" Piped up a first year Hufflepuff.
"No, right now only two of us are recruits. Jaleesa is actually Angelina Johnson and Ethan is Cedric Diggory. The rest of us are the offspring of recruits," Sphinx replied. There was a murmur around the crowd and Professor Sprout smiled happily.
"Angie," said a voice from behind Angelina. She turned and saw Ivy. "You're back."
"Yep," Angelina replied.
"How'd you like the Order, Ron?" Ivy asked. "Pretty cool, huh?"
"Yeah, it's really nice," Ron said with a faint smile.
"I'm sure you'll like it once you're working there. We have a lot of fun." Ivy clapped Ron on the back and said, "Why don't you go to your dorm and rest. You've had a hard day."
"Wait!" Ron exclaimed suddenly. "The Quidditch Match-"
"In the recent turn of events, it has been postponed until tomorrow," Ivy said.
"Darn, I wanted to see Gryffindor kick Ravenclaw's ass today!" Angelina said, folding her arms.
"You know, I will go to my dorm. See you later Angelina, Ivy…"
"Bye Ron."
Ron managed to slip out of the Great Hall without anyone noticing. He walked the quiet halls until he reached the picture of the Fat Lady. He gave her the password and walked into the empty common room. He flopped down on one of the chairs and sighed.
"Ron?" said a voice from the passageway that led to the girl's dorm. "Is that you?"
"Yep," Ron said.
"How was the Order of the Phoenix?" Asked Hermione, coming into the Common Room and sitting down across from him.
"It was really cool," Ron said. "They have a huge library."
"I don't care," Hermione said, causing Ron's eyes to open wide in surprise. "I won't be able to see you very much, will I?"
"Yes, you will," Ron said, leaning forward and taking Herm's hand in his. "I promise that you will."
Hermione smiled and said, "Did you find out about…"
"Yes," Ron said. "And… I'm sorry… they didn't recruit him."
"Why?" Hermione asked.
"Well… they don't recruit just anyone," Ron said.
"But-"
"They did recruit Percy," Ron said, giving a smile. "But I can't see him, because he's sick. But Angelina promised that when he's better she'll take me to see him. Just wait until I tell Mum that Percy's still alive."
"I can just imagine the look on her face," Hermione said softly. She leaned forward and hugged Ron tightly. "Why don't you go write her?"
"I will, but first I think I'll take a nap first. I'm v-very tired," Ron yawned. "Will you wake me up in an hour or so?"
"Of course," Hermione said. Ron kissed her lightly and walked up to his dorm room. He flopped onto his bed, and fell asleep instantly.
~*~
"Wakey wakey!" exclaimed a cheerful voice. Harry groaned and rolled over, clutching his blanket to his body. "Harry! Wake up!" Victoria started to shake him on the shoulder.
"Mmph," Harry moaned, pulling his blankets up over his head and trying to block out the sound.
"Ivy's here," Victoria said. Harry immediately pulled his blanket off of his head and said, "Where?"
Victoria laughed. "I'm just joking. Mom wanted me to wake you up because she and I are leaving."
"Okay." Harry said, leaning back onto his bed.
"And that means…" Victoria said, stepping back out of the room. "You get to look after Olivia."
"Hi Hawwy," Olivia said, climbing up onto Harry's bed and jumping up and down on it.
"Morning Olivia," Harry replied, getting out of his bed and stepping gingerly onto his injured foot. "Have you had breakfast yet?"
"Nopers!" Olivia exclaimed.
"All right," Harry said, picking her up and carrying her to the kitchen. She squealed with delight as Harry swung her around for a moment before sitting her in her chair.
"I want waffles with chocolate, and stwaberries, and whipped cweam, and-"
"Whoa," Harry said. "Waffles I can do, but-"
"Bye sweetie," said Lily, rushing into the kitchen and giving Harry and Olivia both a kiss on the cheek.
"Bye Mom," Harry said, rummaging around in the cupboard for the waffle maker.
"Bye Mommy!" Olivia squealed. Once Lily and Victoria had dashed out of the house, Olivia turned to Harry and said, "Mommy's getting fat."
"Er… don't tell her that," he said. "Lately she's been really emotional."
"What?" Olivia said, putting on a confused face.
"Nevermind." Harry gave up looking for the waffle maker and just conjured up some waffles for him and Olivia.
"What do you want to do today?" Harry asked.
"Can we go to the park and feed the duckies?"
"I think that we can manage that," Harry said, cutting up Olivia's waffles for her. Olivia gave a grin, and Harry smiled back.

"Hey y'all," Ivy said, walking out of the Mission Room. "We have the results on the person who "killed" Ron."
"Who was it?" Asked the teachers that were left in the Great Hall and the other Agents.
"It was a man by the name off-" Ivy turned the page in the small pamphlet she was holding.
"-Peter Pettigrew."
"What?" Gasped several of the teachers. "That's impossible, he's been dead for years!"
"No, he hasn't," Professor Dumbledore said gravely. "If you step into my office I will tell you. Except for those of you who don't know already…" His eyes flashed in the direction of Professor McGonnagal, Snape, and Remus. "I daresay that you should contact the people at the Ministry about this matter."
"Angelina's already on her way over," Sphinx said. "And then she's stopping by her parents…"
"Cedric's going with her," Alex said.
"Of course, they might not be able to get into the Ministry at all… because they're especially mad at us now that we've let out our secret," Sphinx said.
"True…"
"But wait, if the Order of the Phoenix tells the Ministry about Wor-er-Pettigrew, then-"
"Angelina will also explain about Sirius Black not actually being the one to give away the Potter's location," Sphinx said. "Black will be allowed to go out of hiding." A small grin appeared on Remus's face, and the dog that was sitting near the teacher's table started barking.
"Ahem," said a voice from the doors to the Great Hall. Standing there was the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge. "It seems that… Mr. Black has been wrongly accused of a crime he did not commit and…" Cornelius Fudge seemed to have to force out the next few words. "… That he is innocent and has been cleared of all charges. He is no longer a fugitive and will be given an apology for the time spent in Azkaban from me and…"
"Say no more, Cornelius," Dumbledore said. "Sirius?" Suddenly Sirius appeared in the place of the giant black dog.
"Hello Mr. Fudge," said Sirius, slowly walking up to the Minister. Fudge paled and started mumbling, "On behalf of the Ministry of Magic I apologize for-"
"I'd like my house back, and my old job," Sirius said, standing in front of him and staring down at him. Fudge shivered as he looked into Sirius's black eyes and said, "Y-yes Mr. Black."
"Thank you," Sirius said, giving a small smile. "I would also like you to have the Daily Prophet print that I'm innocent on the front page. So that there is no mistake…"
"Yes."
"Thanks again," Sirius walked past Fudge and out the doors of the Great Hall. Ivy muffled a laugh with her hand.
"Where's he off to?" McGonnagal asked.
"Probably to his house," Dumbledore said. "I would suggest that he waits, so that he doesn't frighten the Muggles that are living there now, but…"
"I personally think he's going to go tell Arabella," Remus said. "Or to propose to her. Or both!"
The teachers looked a little shocked.
"Well, he has been going out with her for the last two years!" Remus exclaimed.
"Whatever he's doing, I'm sure we'll see him soon," Dumbledore said.
~*~
Ding dong! Harry looked up from where he was sitting on the couch, and to the front door.
"Who on earth could that be?" Harry wondered aloud.
Ding dong! Harry got up from the couch and hobbled quickly over to the door so it wouldn't wake up Olivia, who was napping at the time.
Harry pulled open the door and saw-
"Sirius!" Harry exclaimed. He pulled him quickly inside. "Are you insane? You could've been caught!"
"Not anymore!" Sirius exclaimed. "I'm free! The Order of the Phoenix cleared me! I'm a free man!"
"That's great Sirius!" Harry exclaimed. Sirius grinned happily. "But what are you doing here?"
"Well, I thought that since I haven't seen Lily and James for 16 years I would come and tell them! Where are they?"
"They're at work," Harry said. "But they should be off soon!"
"How're you Harry?" Sirius asked, putting a hand on his arm and causing him to wince in pain. "Sorry."
"It's okay, they should be healed soon. I'm doing… well… better than I was after the duel," he replied.
"That's for sure," Sirius said.
"Hawwy!" Yelled a voice from upstairs.
"One moment Olivia!" Harry replied. "I'll be right back Sirius. I'm sure you want to meet Olivia, don't you?"
"Yes, of course," Sirius said. Harry went upstairs and found Olivia bouncing up and down on her bed.
"Come on Olive," Harry said, picking up Olivia and playfully slinging her over his shoulder. She giggled happily and said, "I'm hungry. Can I have a snack?"
"Sure, but first I want you to meet someone." Harry walked downstairs with her still over his shoulder.
Sirius was looking at a finger painting by Victoria that was hanging on the wall. When he heard Harry walking down the steps he turned and looked.
"Who's that?" Olivia whispered in Harry's ear.
"That's my godfather," Harry replied.
"Is he a fairy?"
"No, silly."
"Is he mine too?"
"You'll have to ask Mom and Dad." Harry took Olivia off of his shoulder and placed her on the ground.
"Olivia, I would like you to meet Sirius," he said. Sirius knelt down and shook Olivia's tiny hand.
"It's very nice to meet you," Sirius said softly. Olivia, who was acting shy, just hid behind Harry's legs.
"She's adorable," Sirius said, standing back up.
"She's was even cuter when she was 1," Harry said. Olivia hit him in the leg and giggled as Harry tried to scoop her up into his arms again.
"Can we eat now?" She asked.
"Sure. Sirius would you like some tea or something?" Harry asked. Sirius nodded, still looking at Olivia happily.
By 6 o'clock that evening Olivia was referring to Sirius as "Uncle Sirius". Sirius was sitting on the floor, playing with Legos with Olivia when Harry heard the door open.
"Harry, you will not believe what I just heard," said Lily's voice.
"Mommy!" Olivia squealed, jumping up and running to meet her mother.
"Hi sweetie," Lily said. "Harry, I just heard that Siri-" She stopped dead in her tracks when her eyes fell on Sirius.
"Lily?" Sirius said, looking at her.
"Sirius! Oh my god-" She ran up and threw her arms around him, hugging him tight. Sirius hugged her back, and Harry noticed tears in his eyes.
"We missed you so much," Lily sobbed, tears running down her face as well.
"I missed you too," Sirius replied.
"You're bone thin," Lily said, pulling away from the hug and putting her fingers around Sirius's bony wrist. "You have to stay for dinner. Hell, spend the night. Unless you have other plans…"
"I'd love to stay here," Sirius said, giving Lily another hug.
"Just wait until James gets here," Lily said with a sly grin. "I'm sure he'll be twice as excited as I am."

"Where the heck is that Agent," Ivy said, glancing at her watch. "He was supposed to be here an hour ago!"
"Maybe he's running behind!" Angelina exclaimed.
"Running behind my ass," Ivy snapped. "I want to know if it's one of my other ex-boyfriends or not."
"I seriously doubt that it will be," Celeste said. "It's more likely that it's one of mine." Ivy rolled her eyes and started to pace.
"Sarge," Ivy said into her microphone. "The new Agent hasn't arrived yet."
"One moment," Sarge said. "Okay, clap your hands three times." Ivy did as she was told.
"AHHHHH!!!!" Someone came falling out of no where and landed with a thud on the hard floor. "Ow! What the hell did you do that for?"
"You were supposed to be here at 7," Ivy said simply.
"It's 3:30 a.m. in New Hampshire!" Jimmy exclaimed. He was in plaid, pajama bottoms and a thin black t-shirt.
"Oops," Ivy said. "Well… go get dressed, leave a note for your mom and come back here."
Jimmy rolled his eyes, but didn't move from the floor.
"Aren't you going to get up?"
"No. I'm perfectly comfortable on the floor," Jimmy said. He crossed his arms.
"Get up," Ivy said. Jimmy disappeared with a small ping, only to return a few minutes later, this time fully dressed, and that includes his sunglasses and cloak.
"You are patrolling the 7th floor today," Sphinx said. "And tonight you have guard duty in the Gryffindor Common Room."
"Yeah, okay," Jimmy yawned. The teachers looked senu-shocked.
"How old is that boy?" Asked Hagrid.
"He's 16," Ivy replied. "Just old enough to go on Missions."
"That's awfully young."
"Nah, we're only 17 and look at what we can do."
Alex came up behind Ivy and put his hand on her shoulder, "Hey Ivy, can you tell me what-" Ivy jabbed her elbow into his stomach and he fell to the ground.
"Don't touch me," She said. She stepped on him as she walked by.
~*~
"That boy looks kinda familiar," Ron said, glancing up from his Potions homework.
"He's Stealth's brother," Hermione said, looking up too. "At least… I think he is. Go ask."
"Come with me," he said, taking Hermione's hand and dragging her away from her homework.
They walked over to where Jimmy was sitting. He was looking around in amazement, and he sort of jumped when Ron and Hermione approached him.
"Hi, my name is Ron, and this is Hermione-"
"So you're Ron and Hermione," Jimmy said, giving a half smile. "My brother told me a lot about you."
"You're Stealth's brother right?"
"Harry's."
"Pardon?"
"I'm Harry's brother," Jimmy said. "Stealth isn't real. Just a disguise. Harry and Stealth are the same person." Ron's mouth was open in shock, and then he fainted.
