A.N. For those of you who haven't read my story Harry Potter and the Dueling Master, this story will not make a lot of sense. The story involved the Order of the Phoenix, and their unique way of recruiting Agents. I will summarize the story:
Harry and Angelina Johnsen get hit by Avada Kedavra. After their funerals two people dig up their grave and take their bodies to the Order of the Phoenix. About 2 days later he wakes up, and Cedric Diggory is there. Cedric starts to explain that Agents from the Order of the Phoenix are actually "dead" people that were given a potion that enables people to come alive again, and whenever the potion is taken the person is almost all the way immune from Avada Kedavra. They also have this thing called "Masters", where if you are a Master of Dueling, you are the best dueler, and the Master of Fighting, you're the best fighter, etc…
It also turns out that Harry's parents are alive, and in the Order of the Phoenix, along with their 3 other children, Jimmy, Victoria, and Olivia.
Harry becomes Dueling Master 2 years after he is recruited into the Order of the Phoenix. As Dueling Master it is his job to destroy the Dark Lord.
Meanwhile… at Hogwarts they have received threatening letters from the Death Eaters, and they call the Order of the Phoenix to help them with their problem. And… well… You'll have to read the story to find out what happens next * grin*

BEEP-BE-BE-BEEP! BEEP-BE-BE-BEEP! Harry groaned when he heard his alarm go off. He rolled over and swatted the "snooze" button before pulling his blankets back up to his neck.
"We have to get up Harry," Ivy moaned from the other side of the bed.
"No we don't, we can call in sick," Harry yawned.
"We have to get up," Ivy said, putting her arm around Harry's waist. "Remember, you've got that G-g-greeting."
"Screw the Greeting."
Ivy swatted Harry in the arm and started laughing. "Go wake them up, I'll start making coffee."
"Deal," Harry said. He slipped out of Ivy's embrace and threw back the covers. Ivy yawned and got out of bed too.
Harry was only wearing some pajama pants, and he grabbed a tee shirt on his way out of the room. He put it on as he walked out of the room and stopped at the door at the end of the hall. He knocked. There was no answer and Harry walked in. The room was dark and he walked over to the window and pulled open the shades. There was a moan from under the sheets that lay on the bed.
"Close them," said a groggy male voice.
"It's time to get up Reese," Harry said. "You've got school in 30 minutes."
"I don't care."
"Ramona called," Harry said. Reese jumped up and said, "She did?"
"No, but you're out of bed now. Get dressed," Harry said, throwing some jeans at him. Reese rolled his eyes as Harry left.
He stopped at the next door and knocked again. There were squeals and laughter coming from inside the room. Harry walked in and found identical twin girls in the middle of a pillow fight, while jumping on their beds.
"Hi Daddy!" squealed one of the girls, hitting her sister with a pillow.
"Time to get dressed girls," Harry said.
"Okay!" Both of them said, jumping off of a bed and going to their dresser to pick out clothes.
Harry left and went to the next door. It was dark in this room too. He flicked on the light and the girl who was lying on the bed pulled her covers over her head to block out the light.
"Time to get up," Harry said, pulling the covers off of her bed. The girl curled up into a ball and tried to pull the blankets back onto her.
"You have classes soon," Harry said. "You have to get up." The girl shook her head.
"Yes."
Shake.
"Yes."
Shake. Harry reached over and started tickling the girl, who started squirming, a smile growing on her face.
"Come on, get up," Harry said. He left the room and went into the kitchen. Ivy was standing at the oven, cooking eggs.
"Hey baby," Ivy said, not looking up as Harry walked into the room.
Harry walked up behind her and put his arms around her waist.
"Cut that out unless you want scrambled eggs in your hair," Ivy said. Harry didn't listen, but instead kissed her on the side of her neck.
"Well, I've lost my appetite," said a voice from behind Harry.
"Very funny Reese," Ivy said, pulling Harry's arms off of her waist.
"I'm serious," Reese said. "Years from now I'm going to be in therapy, talking about how my parents scarred me for life by making out in the kitchen."
"Ha ha ha," Harry said dryly. "Did you finish your homework?"
"Yeah, last night," Reese said, taking a piece of toast off of the platter in the middle of the table.
Suddenly the two twin girls appeared in the kitchen. They were both dressed in overalls, but one girl was wearing purple ones, and the other one was wearing pink.
"Morning Mommy," said the girl wearing purple.
"Good morning sweetie," Ivy said, leaning down and kissing both of them on the forehead. Reese rolled his eyes and ducked as Ivy tried to kiss him too.
"Where's Eve?" Ivy asked, turning to Harry.
"She should be here soon," Harry replied. Just as he had finished talking Eve walked into the room.
"Morning sweetheart," Ivy said. "Did you sleep well?" Eve nodded and rubbed her eyes.
"Eat up," Harry said. "And remember, Erin and Joshua are coming over tonight."
"Yay! Uncle Josh and Auntie Erin," squealed the girl wearing pink overalls.
Josh and Erin were 2 of Harry's brothers and sisters. Josh was 15 and Erin was Reese's age, 14. Harry wrinkled his nose at the thought of his parents still… er… going at it at the age of 42, which was how old they were when Erin was born.
"Harry, go get dressed," Ivy said. "You have 20 minutes until the Greeting."
"Can't I finish eating?" Harry said, putting on a pout. Ivy rolled her eyes and kissed Harry lightly on the lips.
"EWWW!" Squealed the twins, covering their eyes.
"See, this is why I'm going to be in therapy," Reese said. Ivy rolled her eyes.
As Harry continued to eat his breakfast he looked at his four children. The twins, who were 4 years old, resembled their mother, except they had Harry's eyes. One was named Mackenzie, and the other was named Maxine, after their friend. They had slightly curly, thin brown hair. They always seemed to be happy, and were perfect angels (almost). Next came Reese, their son. He resembled Harry, but he had Ivy's nose and was short. His hair was spiked, and the tips of his hair were brown. It wasn't as wild as Harry's either. Reese wanted to be the Master of Combat when he grew up. His mother had decided to call him Reese because she kept eating Reese's Peanut Butter cups while she was pregnant with him.
Eve was Harry and Ivy's first child. She was a jumble of both Harry and Ivy. She had one green eye and one blue. Her hair was dark, dark brown, and slightly curly. She was tall and slim, and she always seemed to have a gleam of mischievous in her eye. But she didn't talk. She couldn't. She was mute. Whenever she wanted to say something words would appear above her head, or she would write it down. The truly remarkable thing about her was that she didn't need her voice to cast spells. She could just hold the wand and the spells would come out whenever she wanted them to. She was also Dueling Master.
Harry had retired from Dueling Master after they had the twins. Harry didn't want to put everyone in danger anymore by making more enemies, so he appointed one of his co-workers as Dueling Master. When his daughter had proclaimed that she wanted to be Dueling Master he stood by her and trained her.
"Harry! Your Greeting!" Ivy exclaimed. Harry gulped down the rest of his orange juice and ran to get dressed.
"Bye Ivy," Harry said, kissing her on the lips as he rushed through the kitchen. "Be good kids!"
"We will," Said the twins.
"Not," hissed Reese. Harry put his microphone on and a voice rang in his ear.
"Where the hell are you?" Hissed Ronald Weasley's voice. "The Greeting started an hour ago!"
"What?" Harry hissed.
"At 8 o'clock! Didn't you get the memo?" Ron demanded.
"No!" Harry said. Suddenly he looked down and saw that there was a note pushed under his doorway. "Just tell them I'll be there soon."
"All right, but they aren't too happy. They were expecting the famous Harry Potter, not Harry Potter's friend and some people who he's never met before!"
"I'll be right there," Harry snapped. He walked through the door labeled Order of the Phoenix and instantly felt himself being magically transported there.

"Sorry I'm late," Harry said as he rushed into the room. There were several grumpy looking adults standing around.
"Well, now that you've finally arrived," said a voice to Harry's right. "You can greet the new recruits."
"All right. Are they in the Recruition Room?"
"Yes," spoke up Ron, who was talking to one of the men in the room.
"Thanks."
Harry Molecularized to the Recruiting Room, where there were several impatient adults, and teenagers that had just gotten out of school.
"Hello everyone," Harry said. "I'm sorry that I'm late."
A few people nodded.
Harry looked around at the new recruits. The method of recruiting new Agents had changed greatly. Instead of having the recruits get hit by Avada Kedavra, and then being revived by the Order, two times a year there was a Recruiting Day. Thousands of witches and wizards would show up to try and get into the Order of the Phoenix. They had to pass several tests so they could get in, and only about 50 new Agents were recruited. This was about half of them, and someone else was taking care of the rest.
"As you probably already know, the Order of the Phoenix is highly selective about our Agents. You have been chosen because you have shown particular expertise in several different areas."
A boy in the back raised his hand.
"Yes?"
"Can I have your autograph?" the boy asked.
"What's your name?" Harry asked.
"Robert Creevy," said the boy.
"What's your father's name?"
"Dennis."
"Say hi to your father for me, okay," Harry said.
The boy smiled happily and said, "Yes sir!"
"Okay, now if you follow me, I will give you a tour of the Order of the Phoenix…"
~*~
Harry collapsed into his chair at his desk. One of the recruits had gotten lost, and Harry had to go running around the Order of the Phoenix looking for him.
"Rough day?" said a voice from the doorway. Harry looked up and saw Celeste Rodriq standing there.
"Yeah, so far," Harry said.
"It's going to get rougher," Celeste said. "Sphinx wants to talk to you."
Harry moaned and leaned back in his chair.
"How's Ivy?" Celeste asked.
"Good," Harry said, rubbing his temples.
"Ooh, poor baby," Celeste said, jutting out her upper lip. "Do you need a back rub?"
"Celeste," Harry said in a warning voice. Celeste had been his first girlfriend at the Order of the Phoenix. It seemed that she had a new boyfriend every day, and even though she was 36 she looked 10 years younger.
"Just joking," she said.
"Don't you have work to do?" Harry snapped. "Surely you have something better to do than hang around me."
"As a matter of fact, I do have something to do," Celeste said. She walked out of the room, just as Ron walked in.
"Ex-girlfriend trouble?" Ron said, a sly grin spreading across his face.
"You'd think that 19 years after we broke up she would have stopped chasing after me," Harry groaned, putting his head against his arms on his desk. Ron gave a chuckle and said, "Well, she never does give up."
Harry gave a dry laugh and stood up. "I'd better go, Sphinx wants to see me."
"Nice knowing you."
"Very funny."
"I'll walk with you."
"Fine."
Harry and Ron walked down the crowded halls at the Order of the Phoenix. Ron had been recruited when he was 17, and he was the first person to be recruited after Voldemort had died.
"How's Hermione?" Harry asked.
"She's good," Ron said. "Being pregnant has really got her tired though. She says that this is worse than the first time."
Hermione had been recruited after she got out of school, so she could be with Ron and Harry.
"How is Alexis, anyway?" Harry asked. Alexis was Ron and Hermione's 10 year old child.
"She's good, and she is constantly talking about school," Ron said, grinning happily. At the Order of the Phoenix students started school a year earlier than Hogwarts, and they went until age 17.
Harry and Ron found themselves in front of Sphinx's office.
"Well, good luck," Ron said. "Try not to get her mad. I have a meeting to go to with her later on."
"I'll do my best," Harry said. Ron disappeared with a small ping and Harry inserted his ID card into a slot. The doors opened and he walked in.
"Hello Harry," said a voice from behind a chair. The chair turned around and Harry looked at the woman with long black hair and an Egyptian accent. "You got my message?"
"Yes Sphinx," Harry said. "Why do you want to talk to me?" Sphinx waved her hand in a dismissive way and got out of the chair. Sphinx was the head of the Order of the Phoenix.
Sarge, the old Head of the Order, had been killed during a Mission. Sphinx was the Agent who had been in the most Masters positioned. She had been Dueling Master, Master of Intelligence, Master of Combat, and Master of Music and Arts. The two of them had gone on many missions together, but everyone knew of her fiery temper and even Harry hated to see her when she was mad.
"You went to Hogwarts, right?"
"For four years, yes," Harry said. "Why do you ask." Sphinx shrugged and pulled a book off of her shelf.
"Have you told your children about your years there?" Sphinx asked, not answering Harry's question.
"Yes," Harry said. "I have. Why?"
"Do your children seemed interested about Hogwarts?" Sphinx persisted, flicking through the book.
"Yes," Harry said. "Wh-"
"That all, Harry," Sphinx said. "You may leave."
Harry felt shocked for a moment, before he turned and exited the room. Sphinx walked over to her desk and wrote down two names on a piece of paper.
Eve Potter
Reese Potter
***
"Hullo Harry," said a male's voice.
Harry looked up from the paper he was working on.
"Hello Dad," Harry said. "How are you?"
"Good," James replied, sitting down on the couch in Harry's office. "How are the kids?"
"They're doing well," Harry replied, scribbling something down on a piece of paper.
"Erin and Josh were wondering if they could go to the Eiffel tower when they get to your house."
"I don't care," Harry said. "We were planning on going out for dinner…"
"Well, they think it's so cool that you live in France. I think that's the reason they want to visit so much."
"Nah, the only thing Josh is interested about is the girl that lives two doors down," harry said with a grin.
"That could be true too," James said with a short laugh. He glanced at his watch and said, "I'd better go, Sphinx wanted to talk to me about something."
"Yeah, she wanted to talk to me too," Harry said. "Well, I'll see you later Dad."
"Bye."
James disappeared out of Harry's office with a ping.

"Harry! Ivy!" yelled a girl's voice. "We're here!"
"Come in!" Ivy called. Two teenagers walked into the kitchen.
"Uncle Josh!" Squealed Maxine.
"Auntie Erin!" yelled Mackenzie. They both jumped off of the couch, where they had been watching a movie, and ran up to them. They hugged them around the legs.
"Hi Mackenzie," said Erin. "Er… Mackenzie, my foot's going numb." Josh, meanwhile, had picked up Maxine, put her under his arm and started running around the house. She spread her arms out and squealed, "I'm flying!"
"No flying before dinner!" Ivy yelled. "We're leaving in ten minutes!"
"Harry dear!" Erin said, acting as though she had just noticed him standing there. "How's my favorite older brother?"
"I'm fine," Harry said, arching an eyebrow as Erin stood on her tip-toes and kissed his cheek.
"Do you need me to help with anything?" Erin asked.
"Hmmm…" Harry said. "You want something. Don't you?"
"Only your happiness," Erin said, giving a fake, sweet smile.
"Ah," Harry said. "You want money, don't you?"
"Harry, Harry, Harry," Erin said. "Why would I fake being kind in order to get money off of you? 20 Galleons should do it."
Harry rolled his eyes and said, "After we go to dinner."
"But what if I want to get Mom a souvenir," Erin said.
"If you want to get her a souvenir I'll buy it for you," Harry said. He turned to Ivy for a moment before saying, "Have you heard from Sean lately."
"You mean Sean Abercrombie-Franklin?" Erin gave a smile. "The last I heard he was on a Mission in… Afghanistan or something."
"What about Jimmy?"
"He's still in America with Ginny."
"Victoria?"
"She had a concert tonight. Mom and Dad are going to see it, but for some reason they thought we'd be bored."
"How's Olivia?"
"She's dating this guy from Japan," Josh said, coming into the room and placing Maxine on the floor. "We met him last night. He seemed pretty nice. For a Non-Agent anyway."
"We're leaving!" Ivy said. "Girls, go get your coats."
Maxine and Mackenzie ran up the stairs and into their rooms.
"Erin, would you go get Reese?"
"Sure."
"Eve?" Harry said as his daughter walked into the room with headphones on. "Are you ready to go?"
She shook her head.
"Why not?"
I can't go anywhere, said the words that magically appeared over her head. I'm having a bad day.
"So," Ivy said. "It's not everyday that you get to see your aunt and uncle."
Eve rolled her eyes and said, Yes I do. I work with them!
"Don't take that attitude with me," Ivy said. "Now go get your coat. It's chilly outside."
Eve pulled the headphones off of her ears and trudged up to her room.
"All right! Is everyone ready to go?" Harry called.
"Yes!" squealed the twins, thundering down the stairs.
"Car or Molecularize?"
Molecularize, Eve replied. The faster we get there the faster we can go.
"Oh come on Eve, cheer up," said Reese. He put on a fake smile and started singing. "Don't worry! Be happy! Be Happy now! Ooooohhh!"
Mom make him stop! He's giving me a headache, Eve complained.
"Okay Reese, stop making fun of your sister," Ivy said. "Mackenzie, Maxine, take someone's hand. Let's go!"
They all disappeared instantly with a ping!
