Chapter 18 - They think it's all over

Voldemort howled in pain as his dragon form lurched backward through the castle wall and into the ground. He rolled around in pain for several moments then stopped moving.

"Ya Killed 'im James." Hagrid muttered through the rubble. "Ya killed that Voldie fellow."

James pulled himself through the rubble. Night sky was leaving and the sun slowly made it's way over the mountains.

"That was very brave," Dumbledore said from by the entrance hall doors. "Very brave indeed James." And at that dumbledore walked slowly over and placed his hand on James's shoulder.

"In fact if you have nothing else planned you can join 'The Order.' "

"What Order ?" Sirius said, staring at the dead dragon.

"Why," Dumbledore began, "The Order of the Phoinex."

"What is the order Proffesor ?" James asked politly.

"The order," Dumbledore said lowering his glasses, "Is a secert organisation that I am about to start, to fight the evil of the world. And," He paused to turn to Sirius, "Now that you three know about it I'm afraid that you have no choice but to join."

And at that there was a loud rummbling noise and the group turned to face the dragon who was now rising.

"It was a good plan," Dumbledore said to James without the slightest bit of fear, "But the dragon did not die because it wasn't really a dragon."

And then raising his wand at the now standing dragon he yelled an incantation and the dragon was bound up.

"But I'm sure that Tom will think the plan was terrible seeming as it gave me enough time to fix my wand before he could kill you." Dumbledore added, "One of the ghosts dropped a suit of armour on it. I belive you students call him Peaves."
