CHAPTER 17

Everybody was sitting in the great hall waiting nervously for the arrival of The Circle of the Magus Spellcraft. Most of them had put on their best robes, wanting to look good in front of these dangerous wizards and witches. At exactly eight O'clock the doors of the hall swung open and fourteen people marched in side by side, on the left seven woman and on the right seven men.

The first two were dressed in icy blue and white, their hair was white but they didn't looked old, they also carried Rods, about 40 inches long with a small icy blue sphere on top.

Right behind them marched two Thunderers, both carrying spears, Harry recognised the woman from his encounter in Diagon Alley. The woman looked around and Harry saw her eyes widen a bit when she saw Aurora sitting at the Gryffindor table. She quickly whispered something to the other thunderer who's eyes also quickly shot towards Aurora. He whispered something back, a few moment later she nodded and the both returned to looking in front of them.

After them walked two man and woman, both dressed in bright red with orange robes, their hair was dyed in colours that made it look like fire and they wore long swords and also wore a cloak that hid their other hand making it impossible to see if anything was in it.

Then came two persons who looked like the embodiment of tranquillity, the weren't wearing any weapons and were dressed in perfect white robes, they both had long strawberry-blonde hair which was about waist length on both the men and the woman. Their hands were folded together and a soft glow could be seen emanating from within, they smiled peacefully as they saw all the students looking surprised at the two unarmed mercenaries.

The four persons behind them were the biggest surprise. They wore green robes which were splattered with mud stains as if the owners had been jumping around in mud puddles. The wore long cloaks made entirely of leaves of different kinds and colours. With every step the made small cracks appeared in the floor of the hall and flowers grew out of them. The were also chattering to each other in some strange language which nobody in the hall understood. The also carried long staves with pine cones on top.

Iri looked smiling at the members of the frozen tide. This would make her job a bit easier since she could blame them for drastic mistakes. It wouldn't be a nice thing to do and preferably avoided but always good for back up story. She led a tiny bit of her magic flow out of her body and push away some of the heat coming from the candles. She felt the temperature in the room drop a little bit and saw Blue next to her shivering. She quickly stopped and decided that this was enough for now. She looked around hoping that nobody had noticed the little spell she had performed. To her scare, she saw Dumbledore looking in her direction and the two members of the frozen tide were looking in the global direction of the Ravenclaw table. She swallowed and started to focus heavily on looking inconspicuously. Soon the attention to the Ravenclaw table was gone and she could breath normally again.

Soon everybody was seated, a special table had been prepared for the order but they had ignored it and had spread across the house tables, both the frozen tides were sitting at the Ravenclaw table. The Thunders had made their place at the Gryffindor table while the soothing light was sitting with Hufflepuff. The blazing order and the Druidicar has spread across the four house tables. Soon conversations had started and the Hogwarts students were trying to interrogate the Orders Members. Unfortunately it didn't work very well and the members ended most of the time up with more information then the students. The Woman of the frozen tides had taken a seat between Iri and Blue.

"Hello Girls, Did you enjoy the parade." She started with a smile across her lips.

Iri felt anger rising inside: "Yes we did, it looked a bit stiff though."

"Ah, correct. The Druidicar made these ceremonies. They prefer a huge wild party in the forest. The blazing order and the thunders love it since they are like a military faction. The healers don't care as long as nobody gets hurt and they don't have to cure too much hangovers in the morning."

"And the Frozen order?"

"We don't care. We don't show our emotions you know. But we'd prefer a colder place, that's why we were so surprised to find the heat withdrawing a few minutes ago, not that we are complaining."

"So? Why the Ravenclaw table? If you lack emotions you should sit at Slytherin." Blue, obvious annoyed that she was being left out of the conversation decide to insert her opinion.

"We don't lack emotions, we just don't show them little girl. And were sitting here because the Ravenclaw table seems to be right in the middle of the cold spell."

"Don't call me little, you, you, wait till my mother hears about this." Blue sputtered at hearing the insult.

"And who might you're mother be, girl?"

"My mother is Ravira Inceron, Head-Auror of the British magical community."

"Ah, then you must be Chorus, right?"

"Yes how did you know?"

"Easy, my sister can't stop bragging about how smart her daughter is."

"Sister?? Daughter?? Wait a minute, Aunt Melinda?"

The woman smiled and closed her eyes, suddenly her skin became less pale, her white hair became light brown and her icy blue eyes became warm brown: "Hey Kiddo, missed me?"

Iri was surprised to see Blue launch herself into her aunts arms but couldn't help herself from asking something on her mind: "Uhm, miss? What is your real hair colour?"

"The white is girl, just is an illusion so the little blue here can recognise me. What you're name anyway?"

"Oh, sorry for not introducing myself. I'm, " Iri didn't come any further because suddenly their was a loud noise outside in the hallway suddenly the doors to the main hall flew open and a petite figure in red stumbled inside. The order members had already jumped up and weapons and spells ready.

The figure took two more shaky steps forward and muttered a soft help before collapsing on the ground. The professor and order swept towards the heap on the ground. The turned it around and noticed it was a girl and more disturbingly, her clothes weren't really red but covered in blood.

Dumbledore removed the large hood and was shocked by what he saw: "Oh my, it's miss Granger.
