Order of the Phoenix
Chapter Two
"Hello Harry" Dumbledore said as he smiled down at Harry, "having a good holiday?"
"Yes.. Professor, what are you doing here?" Harry asked impatiently, wanting to know why he was at Mrs. Figgs house, how did he know her, how did he know he was there, and just what was the Order of the Phoenix?
"I thought you would ask that. Harry I'm here because Arabella, Remus, Sirius and I are going to make sure that you make it safely to the Weasley's house. We're all members of the Order of the Phoenix, and I can tell by the look on your face that you're wondering just what it is I'm talking about. We work together against the Dark Arts, mainly Voldemort and the Death Eaters. We've managed over the summer to capture a few of the Death Eaters with new evidence against them that convinced the ministry of their Dark sides. Which reminds me, you won't be seeing Draco Malfoy this year Harry, his mother felt it pertinent to transfer him to another school due to his father's downfall."
"Is Sirius here, professor?" Harry asked impatiently looking around trying to find him in the room.
"He's waiting for you in the other room dear," Mrs. Figg smiled at him as she waved for him to follow her into the room Sirius was in. They walked in, Harry was half expecting to see a large black dog, and was surprised to see Sirius standing, pacing awaiting Harry's arrival. As he walked into the room he was excited to see his godfather and rushed over to his open waiting arms for a hug.
"And how are you today Harry?" Sirius asked and smiled at him.
"I'm great, I wasn't expecting to see you so soon." Harry quickly noticed they weren't alone in the room.
Remus smiled, "Hello Harry, good to see you"
"Good to see you too Professor Lupin" Harry rushed over to give him a hug as well.
"Harry you know you can call me Remus now if you'd like."
"Right, sorry about that Remus. You know you're still the best Defense of the Dark Arts Professor we've had. We all miss your lessons, you should talk to Dumbledore about coming back"
Remus just laughed away, and Dumbledore walked in to announce that lunch was ready. They all sat and talked away over lunch, catching up on events over the summer and how everyone was doing. At dinner time there was a honk of the Dursley's horn that said it was time for Harry to go back to their house. Mrs. Figg walked Harry to the car, thanked the Dursley's for a delightful day with Harry, and said she'd be glad to have him back again any time. Vernon grunted, "Yes, well thank you for taking care of the little brat, sorry to have dumped him on you but we're glad he didn't give you any trouble. Thank you very much Arabella".
And with that they sped back to the house. When he got up to his room there were four owls sitting patiently awaiting his return, he immediately recognized one as the Weasley's family owl, Errol, and another as their owl Pigwigdeon. He immediately took the letter from Errol and quickly read the note.
"Dear Harry,
We're writing you because as you might already know, we're picking you up tomorrow at 5pm. We'll be arriving with a car provided by the ministry, Dumbledore will be with us at his request. Please explain to the Muggles that you won't be returning to them at summer time anymore, as your godfather has consented and requested for you to move in with us. Pack anything of value to you up, because you won't see them again unless you want to. These are dark times, and you need fully trained wizards near you at all times. If the Muggles have a problem with the plans to bring you here, we'll still be there at 5pm, and will make sure that they don't stop you from leaving. See you tomorrow, do be careful.
Love,
Mr. & Mrs. Weasley"
Harry almost died of shock, and felt like sending Errol back immediately with a request that they come over tonight. He knew Errol couldn't handle another journey tonight though. He decided instead to wait and take him back with him the next day. He'd send word back with Pig. He suddenly remembered Pig also had a letter for him. He quickly took it off of Pig and read it carefully.
"Harry,
Mum and Dad say you're moving in with us, we're to share a room. If you need to send Pig or Hedwig back with a box of things, but the car should work out good. See you tomorrow, Ginny's rather excited to see you.
Bye, Ron"
Harry quickly wrote back to Ron.
"Ron,
I'll talk with the Muggles and send word with Hedwig about what they say. What do you mean Ginny's excited to see me? How are you all doing? Have you heard from Hermione lately? Had an interesting day yesterday, can't wait to tell you all about it. See you tomorrow.
Bye, Harry"
And with that he tied the note to Pig's leg and off Pig went to the Weasley's house. He noticed the third owl getting a bit impatient with him, so he quickly untied the note and the owl went to get water from Hedwig's cage. He opened the letter and couldn't believe his eyes.
"Harry,
Like the new owl? I named her Fleur, Mum and Dad got her for me for school this year. They said that we're coming to get you tomorrow, all of us. Charlie, Bill and Percy took of work to come with us to pick you up. We'll pick Hermione up at the end of the week. Harry when you come here I'd like to speak with you alone for a while. There are things that I need to tell you. Can't wait to see you
Love,
Ginny"
Harry sat there, dumbfounded for quite some time looking at the letter. He'd always known that Ginny had a crush on him, but could her crush have grown to more? Harry couldn't figure it out, and even if she did, what would this mean for him and Cho? He thought he might get a chance with her, but what if she was still holding onto the memory of Cedric? Would he always be with her? Could they even get along with that kind of history in- between them? Harry thought a while longer.
He suddenly realized, no, there was no chance with Cho, there was simply too much pain between them from last year. Worst of all, holding onto that chance meant he might be missing out on something better, with Ginny. And Ginny had always liked him, and he certainly thought that she was cute, and fun to be with. So he decided to write her back.
"Ginny,
We do need to speak in private, there's something I need to talk to you about too. I have a feeling that we want to talk about the same thing, and I can't wait to talk to you. I'll see you tomorrow. I like Fleur, she's a beautiful owl. Hope you're well
Love,
Harry"
He attached the note to Fleur and thought to himself 'She is a beautiful owl, but then again, Ginny's a beautiful girl'. He sighed and sent off Fleur. He picked up the letter from the fourth owl, and realized it was his school letter and supply list. The owl quickly left and Harry went downstairs to tell his Aunt and Uncle the good news. Upon hearing the good news, his uncle said without looking up from his newspaper "Don't forget anything boy, we don't want Dudley to find anything that might enlarge his tongue like last year. Make sure you clean your sheets before you go, and don't forget to take out the garbage."
Harry quickly went back up to his room and started to pack, he couldn't wait for tomorrow. So much was about to happen for him that he'd been waiting for, for a long long time. He wrote a quick note to the Weasley's and sent Hedwig on her way with word that all was in order, and to keep Hedwig with them instead of having her fly back tonight. He couldn't seem to stop smiling. Suddenly Pig came to the window, with a note attached to his foot, Harry quickly took it off the note quickly and ripped it open.
"Harry,
Are you stupid? She likes you Harry. You don't still have that thing for Cho do you? Hermione sent an owl yesterday saying she's great, but that she & Krum are over. Not sure what happened, but I'm not planning on waiting around this year, I'm asking her to the Yule Ball on the train. Everyone else is good, Mum's running around like crazy getting the house ready for you, Snuffles sent over some money to help with any additions we needed to take care of for you. Mum and Dad bought Ginny a new Owl, it's really a stupid one. Can't seem to figure out whether to go to Mum or Ginny when it comes home. Ginny used it tonight and the dumb thing came back to Mum. She opened up the letter and said 'oh goodness, Ginny this is yours.' Ginny turned so red I thought she'd stay that way. How's that pig of a cousin of yours taking the news that you're leaving? Well, see you tomorrow.
Bye, Ron"
Harry couldn't help but laugh and quickly wrote back.
"Ron,
I'm not stupid. I'd figured that out, after reading the note Fleur brought from Ginny. No, I don't have a thing for Cho anymore. It wouldn't work out, I couldn't replace Cedric's memory. You should tell Hermione you like her Ron, you don't want another year of watching her hang all over another guy again. Tell Ginny next time I'll use Hedwig. Dudley's been making sure my last days here are just as enjoyable as all my years here have been. Can't wait to get out of here. See you tomorrow.
Bye, Harry
Ps. Don't tease Ginny about today"
