Ch 7: The truth about Ginny

            Sirius jumped our and gave Harry a huge hug.

            "you found her, it's Ginny right, oh I just knew it was!" he turned to Ginny and gave her a huge hug. "oh I'm so glad it's you! Are you excited?" Ginny just looked at him even more confused than she already was.

            "uh, Harry, what is going on? I really want to know!" Ginny said. Harry looked at her. He didn't really know how to tell her, so he decided to address everyone else first.

            "so, paws, you going to tell us what's going on?" Cindy asked. Harry nodded, bracing himself for whatever came next, and at least Sirius had taken it well.

            "I wanted to show you this." Harry pulled the ring out of his pocket and slipped it around his finger. Then he picked up Ginny's hand and interlaced his fingers with hers. Once again the ring glowed red. It was then that Harry knew what he had been feeling for Ginny, it was love, he sighed contentedly and looked back at Ginny, who was still very confused. Cindy gasped in happiness and Remus let out a sigh of relief.

            "well, that is very good news Harry, now the order is complete!" Cindy exclaimed. Harry nodded.

            "Harry, what does the color red mean? I really want to know, it seems important." Ginny said. Harry sighed he really didn't want to answer this question, but he thought, if he did love Ginny, he needed to be the one to tell her. Remus looked at Harry.

            "you haven't told her what it means yet? She doesn't know anything, imagine how confused she must be!"

            "well what was I supposed to tell her, 'oh look this means you're my true love, lets get together so we can save the world'? you know it came as a shock to me too!" Harry exclaimed.

            "well," said Sirius thoughtfully," that would have gotten the point across." Cindy elbowed him in the stomach.

            "that wouldn't have been very romantic."

            "Cindy, he's Sirius, he doesn't know what romance is." Harry said.

            "hey!"

            "EXCUSE ME!" everyone turned back to Ginny, "Harry will you please tell me what this means." Harry nodded and put his arm around her and pulled her closer.

            "well, the ring changes colors depending on who I come in contact with. Black is a mortal enemy, gray means they are untrustworthy, yellow is someone you can count on for a favor or something, 'Mione calls them, "close casuals".  Green means family or order members, a.k.a Rem, Sir, and Cindy. Blue means loyal or trustworthy true friends, those are Ron and Hermione, and red…red means…red means true love." Ginny blushed to rival her hair and developed a sudden interest in the ground. Harry wrapped her into a hug and kissed her head.

            "I really do love you." He whispered in her ear. She nodded her head and looked up at him.

            "I know, I love you too." Harry pulled her closer and just held her.

            "good, glad that's all cleared up!" Sirius said loudly making Harry and Ginny jump.

            "god Sirius, you really know how to ruin them moment don't you." Cindy said shaking her head. 

            "well like I said, Sirius doesn't really know what romance is."

            "is that all you wanted to tell me because you could have told me that without everyone watching." Ginny asked. Harry shook his head.

            "there's more to it than that. You know that I am part of the order right? Well so is everyone here. But the order needs one more person to be complete, then everyone meant to be in the order will be in it. That last person is you. This is hard to explain and I don't understand half of it… someone help me out here." Harry said to the rest of the order. Cindy nodded and took over.

            "Ginny, for every person born into the order, there is a person that does not have the order running through their blood, but is given the power, and is meant to be with the latest member. That is you. The order runs through the blood of the Potters, the Blacks, and the MacNaughtons. I am Sirius's match, you are Harry's match, and Remus was Breena MacNaughton's match. Breena died at the hands of voldemort, but her power is still with us. You have the power to be in the order, but we have to initiate you first. It is crucial that we do it soon, because we need you to be in the order for it's full potential to be unlocked. Do you understand?" Ginny nodded.

            "that's a lot of information to get in such a short amount of time. But I do understand. When do I get initiated? What does it do?" she asked.

            "We'll initiate you before or after the next full moon, Remus?"

            "after, the twenty second." Remus replied. Cindy nodded.

            "once initiated you will share a bond with the people in the order. You share their power and the power that the order supplies. You will also get a ring like Harry's. it may hurt depending on how much power you have but it probably won't hurt that much." Ginny nodded.

            "I just have one question," she said, "why did you ask Remus about the full moon?" Harry turned to look at her.

            "gin, I thought you knew," he said, he looked over at Remus who nodded that Harry should tell her, " Remus is a werewolf." To everyone's astonishment Ginny ran over to Remus and gave him a hug.

            "oh Remus, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed. Remus smiled at her.

            "I knew I always liked her!" He said. Ginny laughed and went back over to where Harry was sitting. Sirius jumped up.

            "so I think we need to make plans for the twenty first am I right, Remus, Harry?" Remus shook his head.

            "you are not dragging Harry into this! I'm not putting him in danger again!" Remus said sternly. "besides I can take that potion, it may hurt more but at least I wont hurt you two."

            "nope you can't because old' Snapie isn't here and no one else here has the skill to brew it, except for Cindy but she is allergic to traciphine, and that my friend is the main ingredient!" Sirius exclaimed happily," so we have to do it the old fashion way." Remus sighed, Sirius had a point, but that didn't mean Harry had to join them.

            "doesn't matter Harry still can't come." Remus said stiffly.

            "come on Rem, I can look out for myself, besides, it'll be fun!" Remus shook his head.

            "pretty pretty please moony, you're being a meenie." Sirius whined.          

            "Sirius you are going to act your age for at least one minute, or you have to take ten points off of Gryffindor?" Cindy said.

            "you forget that I can add points now, Ha!"

            "you are going to act your age for at least one minute or else!" Cindy exclaimed in a tone of finality that made Sirius look a little afraid.

            "fine." He muttered. Harry and Ginny giggled.

            "Sirius, you will go with moony so Harry doesn't get hurt, Moony needs to get used to the old way and then Harry can join you two." Cindy said. Remus nodded.

            "See that is a much better plan!"

            "YOU TO ARE POO!" Sirius yelled, "You're spoiling my fun!" Cindy glared at Sirius.

            "I specifically remember telling you to act your age!" Cindy yelled.

            "It's been a minute." Sirius stated defensively.

            "Oh and just how would you know that!" Cindy countered.

            "I've been counting." This statement set Cindy and Remus into an uproar and the row started al over again. Harry decided that he didn't want to hear any more, he pulled Ginny up and led her out of the office.
            Only when Harry slammed the door did the three Professors stop fighting.

            "Well," Cindy said, "history has repeated itself."

            "Yes, " said Remus nodding, "but it is for better or for worse."
