A/N: Wow this one was out quick right? Well quick for me anyway. I also tried to make it longer than I have before. Please try to read and review! Also to all the American's reading this have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Thank You's:

Fairymagic: Thank you very much I'm glad you are liking it. And trust me, once Harry gets back to Hogworts (which shouldn't be to long from now) you will learn a lot more about Lily and James.

Sakura_star-63: How was this one? I tried to make it a little longer. I hope you like it.

WolfMoon: You never miss a chapter. And you got me writing this story again. You're awesome. How's this one? And now on your story I'm done with Year Five (it was great) and on to Year Six. I will probably get all the way up to date on it by the beginning of next week.

RJLL: I did make a change in the was I was writing and I'm glad you noticed. Please keep reviewing I hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I've never put a disclaimer before this because everyone knows that any of the things you recognize don't belong to me but now I'd just like to say that I got some of these ideas from the movie Black Hawk Down (which is awesome and everyone should go see it) so if you recognize a line from in there, that is probably where it comes from.

Harry Potter and the Return of the Dark Lord

Snape walked over to Dumbledore and whispered something in his ear then went back to his seat and sat down. Dumbledore stood up and began to address the order. "Severus just heard some interesting news while at a Death Eaters meeting. It seems that Voldermort will be holding an urgent meeting tonight with some of his highest ranking Death Eaters. Now I know I said we were not yet ready for offensive tactics, but there will be no dark creatures there, just wizards, so we should be ok. Right now it is 8:24, the meeting starts at 9:00. Our attack will start at 9:15. Now Voldermort will be there but he is not our target. As soon as we make our presence known he will apperate out of there and order his death eaters to fight." Dumbledore said. Everyone in the room had a grave look on their face.

"Why don't we put up anti-appiration wards?" Mr. Weasly asked.

"Well we will be doing that. I will leave that job to Bill and Professor Flitwick. But it takes time. Voldermort will be out of there before we can get the wards up." Dumbledore answered.

"We should be able to get them up in about ten minutes. But no sooner than that. Obviously they can't be permanent, the shortest time we can keep them on is about six hours. And putting temporary ones on will be harder than permanent ones." Bill explained. Professor Flitwick nodded his head in agreement.

"All right so it's set. Capture as many death eaters as you can. Don't go looking for Voldermort because he won't be there. The Ministry won't be able to get in there until the appiration wards wear off so we want to get out of their first. After Bill and Professor Flitwick get the anti-appiration wards up, I need you two to send up blue sparks. Then I will put up appiration wards up in a little isolated place so that we can get out of there with our prisoners. I will contact the APA and tell them to get some kind of prison ready. I'm not putting these Death Eaters in Azkaban so Voldermort can break them out in two days." Harry now knew by looking at Dumbledore's eyes as he spoke why everyone said he was the only one Voldermort was afraid of last time he was in power.

"Were is this meeting?" Sirius asked.

"Knockturn Alley." Snape croaked from where he was sitting. He still looked exhausted from the long, quick journey he just had to make to get the Order in time. At these words Sirius's face, along with most of the others around the table looked defeated.

"We don't choose where they meet Sirius." Dumbledore scolded.

"I never said a word sir." Sirius answered back.

"Now make no mistake people, Knockturn Alley is not a friendly place in times like these. Most all of the shop owners are Death Eaters and the ones who aren't sell all of their goods to Death Eaters so no one in there is going to be on our side. Most everyone there will be throwing curses at us, and no one besides us is going to be throwing curses at the Death Eaters. But there are friendly neighborhoods around. You guys are going to have to be careful with those appiration wards, make sure they only go up over Knockturn Alley. We don't want anyone from the friendly places around not to be able to get out. Now the first shop we see we will take over as our fort. We're going to try and do this before the Death Eaters know we are there. We should go as soon as possible now. Everyone knows what they are going to do? Good, I'll go send Fawkes to the APA, they will meet us there." With that everyone stood up and started to walk out.

"Something wrong Sirius?" Remus asked coming up from behind him.

"Not at all Moony. We're attacking Voldermort at night, when we're going to be outnumbered about four to one, in the only place he can put up a counterattack in minutes. No, everything's great." Sirius answered sarcastically.

"Well good, that's what I want to hear." Sirius gave Remus a look. "Look Sirius, if we all just do our jobs, none of us will get hurt, and we'll be out of there in an hour."

"Nothing like this takes an hour Remus, we both know that." At that comment they started walking out of the door. They all walked to a place outside of Hogsmead (A/N: I don't know if I put this in one of the first chapters but Bill and Professor Flitwick put up anti-appiration wards around Hogsmead too, along with other protection charms they were putting on the town and Hogworts) and were about to apperate. Dumbledore grabbed Harry's arm so he could apperate with him when Sirius came over.

"What are you doing, Albus? He's not coming. He's too young." Sirius was always trying to protect Harry.

"He will stay in the fort we make. I will be with him at all times and if I can't be there will be Protection Auror's with him." Sirius still didn't look satisfied. "He's part of the Order Sirius, he's coming." With that tone of voice Sirius realized that arguing would do no good. "All right, we should all apperate to the Leaky Cauldron, we'll walk through Diagon Alley to Knockturn Ally from there. Now Diagon Alley is a friendly place. But as soon as we turn into Knockturn Ally, watch your back." With those last instructions people began to apperate. Once they were all in the Leaky Cauldron they got back into a group. Dumbledore told them to stay there for a minute and went over to talk to Tom the innkeeper.

"What did you tell him Albus?" Moody asked when Dumbledore rejoined the group.

"I just said to him once we were gone he might want to evacuate the place. I said to tell everyone there was a troll in Diagon Ally and they couldn't get through the entrance to help or something like that. So people will be scared enough to leave, but won't panic." With those words Dumbledore lead the group to Knockturn Ally. People stared at them and some began to apperate, probably knowing that if all these wizards were heading towards Knockturn Ally, it wasn't a good thing. Sirius was still in his dog form until the got their fort so no one would recognize him. And while he was in his dog form he wasn't leaving Harry's side. In fact, Harry noticed that Patrick, Dumbledore, Remus, and Sirius in dog for had formed a sort of barrier around him. Whether this was to protect him from any curses, or so that no one would see him Harry couldn't tell. When they got onto the edge of Knockturn Ally Moody turned and said something to Dumbledore. Dumbledore shook his head and Moody went over to Mundungus Fletcher, and Arabella Figg. He whispered something to the two of them and they all started walking to Knockturn Ally. When a few other Order members started to follow, Dumbledore signaled for them to stay.

(INSIDE A STORE ON THE EDGE OF KNOCKTURN ALLY)

"As long as the Ministry keeps raiding those idiots are going to keep selling us their stuff so they don't get caught with it." One man said to the other behind the counter. All of a sudden the door burst open.

"What the-" one of the clerks said and the other reached for his wand.

"Touch that wand an you die Connolly." Moody growled to the clerk reaching for his wand. All three of the Order members already had their wands drawn.

"I was under the impression that you were out of the Auror business Moody." The man named Connolly growled back with the same look of hatred Moody had on his face.

"This shop is now property of the Order of the Phoenix. Put your wands on the counter, step around it with your hands up, or we will be forced to take action." Fletcher ordered. Apparently the shop keepers didn't like their chances against the three because they did as they were sold. But just as they were about to step around the corner, the one that Moody did not address by name grabbed his wand. "Enferno"  Moody yelled before the man even had enough time to aim the wand at anyone and the man was left with ashes in his hand where the wand used to be.

"Try that again and I'll shoot the curse at your head, not the wand." Moody said in the same growl.

"The Dark Lord's going to kill all of you rebels-"  "Stupefy" Arabella yelled and the man fell to the floor.

"You were smart to cooperate, coward." Moody whispered to the clerk still standing with his hands up as he brushed pass him to the one on the ground. As Fletcher started to bond up the clerk still standing they heard Moody put the full-body bind on the man on the floor, and bind him in ropes. "That should hold him" Moody said with a little grin. I'll go and get Dumbledore, put these two in the back room." And with that he left the room. A couple minutes later all of the order came in and everyone was shouting last minute instructions at each other. Finally the APA showed up and the one that looked the leader came up to shake hands with Dumbledore.

"Jared what took you so long. It's 9:20. We should have already attacked by now." Dumbledore said as a way of greeting.

"It's crazy in Diagon Ally. Everyone saw you guys come and here and now they are all trying to run away. It's tough to keep a group this size," he motioned back to the thirty or so APA men that came in, "together when we're going the opposite way as everyone else." Just then Bill and Professor Flitwick walked into the shop. They had been out putting up the anti-appiration wards all around Knockturn Ally since the Order got there.

"All right Albus, they're up. We're ready to go." Professor Flitwick said.

"Ok. Thank you. Now do your guys have a jail set up somewhere?" Dumbledore turned back to Jared.

"Ya, my guys can take the prisoners there once we get enough. You just take care of getting rid of those anti-appiration wards here." Jared answered.

"I will do that. Now we have to work fast, it's almost 9:30. I want you, and your best fifteen people to stay here. Then send the rest out with the Order. Hopefully this won't last too long." For about two minutes Jared went and spoke with his Aurors. Then they spilt in half, some going to one side of the room with the Order members, and the other half followed Jared over to talk to Dumbledore. Dumbledore told Jared to hold his men right there and went off to talk to the people attacking.

"Good, I see you have already split into groups." It was true, there was about six groups of five people. A couple of them had six. "Now I must stress again, I don't want you looking for Voldermort, he knows we are here and he has already left. Mark my words, I know how he works. From what I hear Diagon Ally was a panic, and that gave Voldermort all he needed to know to get out of their. But I guarantee you he left all of his Death Eaters here to fight us. Now you have to act quick, you will be out numbered and they know the area. Each group should try and set up their own fort like this. Bring your captured people there, that way you don't have to come all the way back here to drop them off. If you get captured, remember the ring, I don't want to lose anyone during this, so don't do anything unnecessary. You people are all the best, that's why you're here, we're going to need through this whole war. Good luck." With those last words the thirty Order members and protection aurors ran out as one group. Soon they split up.

"I still don't know why you didn't let me go out there." Patrick whined.

"You are too valuable. We will never win this war if you don't teach us how to fight the dark animals. I can't have something happen to you in a raid when Voldermort will only be using wizards. Now that's the end of this." Dumbledore ended the conversation right there. "Jared, I want you and one other of your people to stay with myself, Patrick, and Harry. And can you have some people take the two people in the back taken to your jail."

"What are we charging them with?" Jared asked.

"The one that is stunned try to attack three Order members, I don't know the fancy legal term. The other one hasn't done anything yet, but find something in this store to grab him for so you can interrogate him and see what he knows about the meeting tonight. I want to know who's there, what is was about, and why it was here instead of where they usually have them."

"All right I'll send a couple of my guys with them and tell them to report back when they find something out."

A few hours later the first group got back. They said that their area was clear and all they got was six death eaters. This was obviously not the hot spot where the meeting actually was. Soon after the first group got back they all started piling in. After five of the six groups were in there were thirty-two death eaters caught. At 1:30 a.m. people were starting to get nervous.

"Albus where are they it has been nearly four hours."

"I don't know Minerva, if I did I would be helping them." Dumbledore answered a little agitated. Then all of the Order wizards started getting something that really made them nervous.

"Did your ring spin too Moony?" Sirius asked.  "Ya."  Remus answered. "You know what that means don't you?"

"They're in trouble but we can't get to them for another two hours because of the anti-appiration wards." Harry answered from the other side of Sirius. Harry, Remus, Sirius, Patrick, Dumbledore, Jared, and another Protection Auror named Barry had been in the corner since Sirius and Remus's group got back. Every once in a while someone would come over to talk to Dumbledore, but realized that the group wanted to be alone. Harry had a feeling that if these were two of his protection aurors, this group would be spending a lot of time together. "Who's still out there?" Someone asked. That question had been asked more than once but it seemed you just had to ask again.

"Charlie, Mundungus, Victor, Alastor, Kevin, and James." Dumbledore answered. He said Kevin and James's name just like he said the rest, a long time ago they stopped seeing them as Protection Aurors and Order wizards and saw them as one coalition. This time it was Snape that came over to speak with Dumbledore.

"Aren't you going to do something sir? They're just sitting out there by themselves."

"I'm well aware of the situation, Severus. There is nothing I can do." Dumbledore answered.

"Nothing you can do! You could send someone out looking for them."

"Sending a group out there would do no good. If they're touching their rings they're in trouble, probably surrounded. Sending a group in on foot would just endanger the group you sent in. We can't do anything until the anti-appiration wards wear off and then we can go and get them Snape!" Everyone was surprised to hear Harry answer this time. But he didn't care. He was sick of people blaming Dumbledore for all of this.

"It would do you good to show a little respect to you superiors, Potter." Snape spit out hatefully.

"It's not the school year Snape. He's in the Order just like you. The only one superior to anyone in the Order is Dumbledore. And you would do good not to talk to him like that anymore." Sirius spit out just as hatefully.

"That is enough. Severus, Harry's right. We can't send a team in yet." Harry and Sirius got little smiles on at that remark. "Harry, you should show a little respect to Severus," Harry and Sirius's faces fell at this, and Snape glowed. "Severus, you should also talk to Sirius and Harry with respect. You are all in the Order, and therefore all deserve respect from one another. I will not tell you again, I want all of you to put an end to these stupid arguments." Dumbledore, as always, spoke in a tone that let no one argue back and Snape walked away while Harry and Sirius sat down. 

A/N: That's it! Did you like it? I know it was another pitiful attempt at a cliff hanger but I hope you guys are a little curious about what happens to the other group. This was the longest chapter I wrote since the first one! Keep reviewing please!

P.S. I just finished reading WolfMoon's story about Harry's fifth year (I'm sorry wolfmoon I can't think of the mane of it) but you guys should all defiantly check it out. Just do an author search for wolfmoon and then go see the story. It's great!

P.P.S. All right one last thing. I just want to know in your reviews who thinks that once Harry gets back to Hogworts, there should be lots of jokes and pranks that Harry, Ron, Sirius, and Remus (opps did I just give something away? Oh well you guys probably saw that coming. But no Sirius won't get freed and become a teacher, not for a while at least. Defiantly not in this year.) or should it be all serious? Or a little of both? Please let me know what you think.
