((Hey everyone! I told you I'd get this chapter up faster! Sorry again for
the last one taking so long. Thanks to all my reviewers! Yeah, well, here's
the next chapter ~ Kay))
Chapter 4: Hogwarts four
There was a shield between Draco and the rest of the school. Everyone was on their feet. Ron was laughing silently to himself, seeing that Draco had dug himself into a hole this time. The teachers hadn't moved, knowing they couldn't break the spell that was up as long as the troll was here. Hermionie was pacing, trying to cook up a way to help, but nothing was coming. Riley had her wand out, obviously trying to think, just like Hermionie. Harry looked at Draco. The troll, who was about three times bigger than the one he'd fought in his first year, was swinging it's club repeatedly at Draco, who was now wandless, his wand, lying a few feet from the trolls right foot. Harry sighed and drew his own wand, taking a deep breath. Damn Malfoy He thought bitterly as he slowly began making his way to the door I didn't want to do this. Harry took off in a sprint and burst into the hall. There were gasps from the other side of the bubble. Hermionie was waving wildly at him, trying to signal him to 'save Draco'. What did she think he was, daft? The troll grabbed Draco around the middle, it's large hand nearly swallowing the man up. It was tightening its grip and swinging it's arm around. Harry sighed
"Impedimenta!"
He roared, the troll froze for a moment, then turned to look at Harry. It roared in fury and brought it's club down at Harry's head. Harry dodged it and began shooting curse after curse at it, but nothing was working. Draco was turning blue
"Kill it Potter"
He wheezed and the troll swung at Harry again. Harry sighed, and decided to use his old tactic. He grabbed the club and was flung onto the trolls shoulders. The troll, couldn't get him, both of it's hands were busy. Harry slid down it's outstretched arm, to Draco
"Potter!"
He called. Harry turned and watched as the troll brought it's club down. Harry leapt back onto it's shoulders and the troll hit itself. Harry giggled slightly, but stopped when he looked at Draco, the troll was crushing him. Harry suddenly had an idea. He pointed his wand at the top of the trolls head and shouted a spell. BOOM! The thing exploded. Harry and Draco fell to the floor, covered in a milky white goo. That was all that was in the troll, no inside's no nothing. Harry was just starting to think about it when Draco grabbed his elbow
"I said help, not blow that damn thing up"
He hissed, trying to pull himself up. It was obvious he had a few broken ribs
"Well, Draco, if you hadn't insisted on such a big entrance then we wouldn't have had a problem."
The shield disappeared and Hermionie bounded over, Ron and Riley following quickly.
"Draco! Are you all right! I can't believe you did that!"
Hermionie hissed, pulling Draco to his feet with a little help from Riley. All the while Harry was taking some of the troll goo and putting it in a small vile, then cleaning it all up. When he turned he was face to face with Ron
"Why did you save that dolt?"
Ron asked, grinning. He bent over and picked up Draco's wand, tossing it to Harry
"I didn't want him to be killed Ron"
"Well, neither did I but-"
"But! You would have done the same for him and you know it"
Harry said, tucking the vile into this robes
"HARRY!"
Harry turned around just in time to catch Ginny who was smiling like an idiot
"What an entrance"
She said, giggling. Harry rolled his eyes
"That wasn't my idea...I didn't want to fight a mountain troll"
"Sure. Well, let's go! Talk to you later Gin!"
Ron said, taking Harry by the arm and dragging him out of the hall. They walked in silence towards the infirmary, to get Draco, Hermionie, and Riley. When they opened the door, they saw Draco, sitting on a bed with Madam Pomphrey fixing him up and Hermionie and Riley standing, backs to each other and arms crossed. Harry rolled his eyes
"All right there Draco?"
He asked, smiling at his friend
"Ship shape Potter"
He replied, trying to smack Madam Pomphrey away as she pocked at a rather large bruise. Harry turned to Hermionie and Riley. Riley was giving Hermionie a death glare, obviously trying to push her buttons. Hermionie was ignoring her, trying to stare at something else, in this case, Draco. Once Madam Pomphrey allowed them to take Draco they left the infirmary. They walked towards the Order meeting room in silence. When Harry reached the wall he tapped it a few times, mumbled 'Phoenix' and the wall vanished. They entered. The room was huge, bigger than it had ever been before. A large round table was set up, and on all the chairs there was a name scrolled in glittering golden writing. The group walked around the table, trying to find their seats. Once seated, they waited for everyone else to arrive. That didn't take long, with in ten minutes every seat was filled. Dumbledore sat in the large chair nearest to the door. On his right came Mcgonagall, Snape, Flitwick, Ron, Riley, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred and George, Alicia Spinnet, Angalina Johnson, Katie Bell, Oliver Wood, Vicktor Krum, Fleur Delacour, Terry Boot, Susan Bones, Justin Flinch-Fletchy, Padma Patil, Eddie Macmillan, Hannah Abbot, Mandy Brocklehurt, Morag McDougal, Sally-Anne Perks, Lisa Turpin, Blaise Zambini, Madam Maxime, Mundungus Flethcher, Arabella Figg, Mad-eye Moody, six aurors Harry had never seen before, Cassi, Laura, Draco, Hermionie, Remus, Daniel, Sirius, and of course Harry, on the other side of Dumbledore. After a moment Dumbledore stood and the room fell silent.
"As many of you may already know, death eater activity is greater than it was before the demise of the dark lord. Maybe even more terrible, if possible. We've been working hours upon hours to stop it quickly before another war ensues, but we've had no luck of stopping them. We don't know who is leading them, though we have quite a few good guesses. That is why I have called together the Order. We must stop them before they can do what they've done for so many years. The minister has agreed to stand beside up this time around. The Aurors are being offered to us, and we will use them. I know many of you have jobs you must attend to, and I will see to it that you complete them, those of you that are full time Aurors or are in another business that will let you give all your time to the Order we would appreciate it. Now, onto what we have planned"
Dumbledore walked around the table and muttered something, a map of England appeared, large red, blue, green, and orange dots around in different places. Dumbledore took out his wand and pointed at the red dots with it
"The red dots represent the places where death eaters have struck. The blue dots represent where we think there might be hideouts, the green dots are the places we have stationed for watching the supposed hideouts, and the orange dots are where we think they might attack in the future. Now, we will split this group into different sections, devoted to different things. The more eyes we have, the better. Minerva"
He said, looking over at the transfiguration teacher. She pulled out a list and handed it to him. Well, levitated it over to him. He took it.
"Now, we will have a group that goes to the sites after attacks to pick up on clues, witnesses and any death eaters the Aurors manage to capture. Mr. Moody, will lead this group, along with Filius Flitwick. Following them will be Bill Weasley, Fleur Delacour, Morag McDougal, Katie Bell, and Hannah Abbot. You will all have to spend a few days with Madam Pomphrey so she can teach you how to heal any injured. Please, step over here"
Dumbledore made all seven people move to a corner onto a smaller table. Amazingly, the main table shrank.
"The group that will watch where the supposed hide outs are will be led by Mundungus Fletcher and Daniel Evans. Following them will be Vicktor Krum, Alicia Spinnet, Blaise Zambini, Terry Boot, and Susan Bones. Sit here please"
Once again the main table shrank and the seven of them sat in a smaller table off to the side.
"The group that will remain at Hogwarts or a small 'hide out' for us to watch for death eater activity and keep everything running...an office, if you will, will be led by Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and following them will be Sally-Anne Perks, Percy Weasley, Madam Maxime, Mandy Brocklehurt, and Eddie Macmillan."
He motioned to another table for that group, and once again the table shrank
"Leading the group that will be stationed near possible attack area's will be Ron Weasley and Arabella Figg. Following them will be Laura Lines, Angalina Johnson, Minerva Macgonagall, and Oliver Wood. Over here, please"
That group moved too, the amount of people that were left was narrowing.
"The group that will be assigned to following a death eater or two that we suspect might be important will be smaller. Leading this group is Draco Malfoy, and following him is Hermionie Granger, Remus Lupin, and Padma Patil."
Draco's group stood up and went to another table. Dumbledore looked around at the remaining few
"The final group has a rather important, very dangerous job."
Harry shuttered, he knew it was going to have to be him
"Leading the group that will raid death eater hide outs are Sirius Black, and Harry Potter"
The room went silent
"Following them are Charlie Weasley, Severus Snape, Justin Flinch-Fletchy, Fred and George Weasley, and Riley Devon."
The eight of them stood up and went to their table. Only two people, including Dumbledore remained at the table
"Cassi, Lisa, you will be staying here with me...your my messengers to the sections. Everyone, I know this will be hard, and for some of you, rather dangerous. If you don't want to do this, if you don't want to participate, please say so now"
No one said anything
"Wonderful. Please return here tomorrow, and we'll get it all started...for now, just go home."
((Sorry so short, but i'm really sick and I want to go to bed! Hehehe, hope you enjoy, action in the next chapter....maybe....and even a little bit of romance, if I get around to it.~ Kay))
