Two people stood at the door and Harry stood up.
"Sirius!" Harry shouted and he stood up to hug his godfather
"Harry!" Sirius said and hugged him
"ahem.am I invisible?" a soft voice rang
"Professor Lupin!" Harry laughed and hugged him too. Then, surprised, Harry said "Why are you here?"
"Ah.Harry, you might not know yet, Sirius is now cleared. He is not a convict now." Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling
"But, I thought.Fudge." Harry stammered
"Ah, unfortunately, Cornelius has been murdered, by voldemort's spies."
"Then, the Minister, who?"
"It is now Arthur Weasley." Dumbledore replied
"Great! Ron would be proud!"
"That is not much to tell, I think your story is much more important?" Dumbledore said
"What story?" Sirius asked
"Well, it's like that.." Harry said and told his tale. Sirius and Remus eyes grew wider and wider and almost popped out from the head. Sirius jaws fell apart and it hung loosely.
"YOU ARE THE HEIR OF MERLIN!!!" They exclaimed
"um, yes." Harry replied uncomfortably.
"wow."
"and I am, well..." Harry said and changed his looks "You look, well.old" Remus mused
"Thank you" Harry muttered sarcastically and changed back
Harry then made Sirius and Remus close their eyes and connected them to him. A ring popped up onto Sirius and Remus's finger. Harry explained their uses.
"Harry old boy, you have grown up you know.alas, I remember the last time I saw you, you weren't that grown up." Sirius sighed
"Oh, Professor Lupin, you know, with the connection linking me to you, you are no longer a werewolf."
"What.the curse is lifted? I am, normal?"
"Yeah!"
"How could I thank you Harry boy! Call me Remus!" Remus exclaimed and hugged Harry, almost sobbing. (A/N I know, it's weird.)
"Pro, Remus, please calm down" Harry said while struggling to keep still
"Ahem, Sirius, Remus and Harry, please sit down"
As soon as they sat down, the door opened again. There stood Professor McGonagall, Flickwit, Snape, Arthur Weasley and to Harry's surprise, Ms Arabella Figg, the babysitter of Harry.
"Ms Figg!!!" Harry exclaimed
"Harry,nice to see you..."
"How come you're here..."
" Arabella here is actually a witch, she has been your babysitter as we arranged" Dumbledore said. "Now that everyone is here, I would start the meeting. You are all here because you are the members of the Order of the Phoenix. I started this order as all of you know, Voldemort has risen again. This time, he has gotten back a body, thus posing greater dangers. Before I continue, I shall hold the ceremony"
Dumbledore raised his hand and goblets appeared in front of Harry and the others.
"Do all of you pledge to remain loyal to the order, to help those in need and protect the world? Do you pledge never to join the Dark Side" Dumbledore said solemnly.
"We pledge thee" the chorus of voices murmured
"Very well, drink"
Harry took up his goblet and brought it to his lips. He drank it in one gulp and the clothes he had been wearing changed into robes of red with a golden phoenix emblazoned at the back.
"Now that you have all sworn loyalty to the Order, we may start. Firstly, Harry shall tell you about what happened"
Harry stood up uncertainly and said "I am the Heir of Merlin" At once, everybody except for Sirius, Remus and Dumbledore fainted. Harry looked around and met Sirius eyes, then he started laughing. Very soon, those who were conscious were all laughing, doubling up as they saw Snape's shocken expression even though he fainted. Dumbledore smiled and revived them all.
"As I was saying, I am the Heir of Merlin and the Hogwarts founders" Harry continued and finished the whole tale
"From what we have heard, Harry could be very useful to the order. I have informers who have reported that Voldemort (everybody except Harry, Sirius and Remus flinched) is starting an attack to free Azkaban. This is very dangerous, as when the Dementors return to him, he would have more allies. Thus, Arthur, is it possible to remove the Dementors immediately?"
"Unfortunately, we can't as the Dementors are refusing. No one can really get near them. I suspect that they have already gotten news that Voldemort is planning to invade Azkaban."
"I see... we must start planning to stop him... but how"
Harry, tell Dumbledore that Voldemort isn't starting attacks until the end of October Godric''s voice suddenly said
But how do you know? Are you sure? Harry telepathic back
Yes
"Professor, Voldemort won't be starting attacks until the end of October" Harry said
"How do you know?"
"Godric said so"
"I see... very well... this gives us time to prepare. Harry, you must muster the summoning of guardians and elements as soon as possible. Arthur, get as many people as possible who is capable of summoning patronus, and train more Aurors. Minerva, please inform Alastor to come to Hogwarts as soon as possible. Teachers, do not breathe a word to the students. It is important that no one must panic."
"Professor, I could tell Hermione and Ron, can't I?"
"Yes, you could. Severus, please look out for Lucius Malfoy..."
"Yes headmaster"
"Very well, you may all leave. Harry, you stay"
"Yes sir"
After everyone left, Dumbledore mentioned Harry to sit
"Harry, do you realize that you are in a dangerous position now"
"Yes sir"
"Do you know that you MUST NOT go looking for trouble this year"
"Yes sir"
"Do you understand that going against Voldemort means that Miss Granger and Mr Weasley would be in danger"
"Yes sir..." Harry replied again, looking very worried
"Very well. Harry, you may go and get your supplies for school now. Please remember not to tell anyone about the order."
"Ok"
"You may go"
Harry started walking out when Merlin's voice said You could apparate, silly Harry frowned but thought hard of Diagon Alley. In an instant, Harry found himself in the busy street of Diagon Alley.
Harry walked down the street to pick up his supplies. He bought quills and parchment. He got potion supplies at the apothecary. Finally, he stepped into Flourish and Blotts.
"Yes, may I help you" the assistant asked.
"Um, I need the Standard Book of Spells 5 and..." Harry looked down the list "and Dueling the Troubles"
"Right" the assistant said and went off to look for the books
Harry looked around the shop browsed through some books. He found a very catching book, hidden in the back of the shelf. Harry took it out, it was entitled "Prophecy of Life" Interested, Harry took the book to the counter. After paying, Harry apparated back to Hogwarts to his dormitory. He dumped his supplies onto his bed and Faye flew through the window and settled onto his shoulder
~ I think your godfather is looking for you~ Faye said
~OK~
Harry looked around the dormitory and his eyes fell onto Ron's bed. He would have to tell Ron and Hermione about the happenings. Maybe they could join him in the order. Harry looked at his watch and saw that it was six o'clock. He might as well just go and find Sirius.
~It's been a weird summer Faye...~
