Thanks to MspPadfootprince, Bella trix, and. (BTW, bella trix: Sorry but I
think I'd rather see Lily kick Lucius' bum.) I promise that this will be
longer! We're just now getting to the good stuff! I own none of the
characters or anything else that you recognize. Hehe you can't sue me!
Sorry About my slow updating, but I am suffering SWBS (severe writers block
syndrome). *Sniff* Also, I am very sorry if this just comes out as one big
blob of text, but my computer is screwed up. It doesn't let me italicize
either so whenever you see *'s around words, then that means they are meant
to be italicized. Please Read and Review!
Chapter 2: From the Ashes.
Lily put out a slender hand and pulled on the knob. However, It slipped from her grasp. She glanced down and noticed that her hand was pale and sweaty, just like the rest of her. She snapped her head back up to see Kingsley Shacklebolt's broad, dark face lined with a smile. "Welcome Ms. Evans, Mr. Potter is already here, please take a seat..." She looked across the room to see a head of messy black hair, and beneath a pair of glasses, warm hazel eyes. She went across the room and took a seat on the opposite side of the room. Shacklebolt sighed. He had known this wouldn't be easy, after all everyone with half a brain knew that they were enemies, but he had a feeling that somehow this would work... "Ms. Evans, Mr. Potter, please take seats *next to each other* in front of my desk. This is completely ridiculous! You are both respected adults and I suggest that you act as such." Lily and James both groaned then took seats next to each other with defiant grimaces on their faces. "Now that's better. I know that you er. are not that fond of each other, (James and Lily both raised their eyebrows in disbelief, both of them thinking that Shacklebolt deserved an award for understatement of the year) but you two are some of our most promising aurors and I need for the two of you to work together on this assignment." he paused then with a flick of his wand a small screen appeared on a wall. Lily gasped when she looked down, and noticed that they had both received identical, pale blue folders that contained papers, reports, newspaper clippings, and photos. Shacklebolt continued, "We believe that Dolohov may be trying to recruit graduates from Durmstrang to join the dark order. We need enough evidence though, and we need for the two of you to capture him. We also want to put tracking spells on all the people he makes contact with." James frowned then slowly asked, "So... Are we going to need to travel to Bulgaria?" Shacklebolt slowly nodded his head. "Yes. I have made arrangements for you two to travel undercover on Friday. We will be able to feed you more information when you arrive there. Here are your passports and identification. You will be posing as a Mr. and Mrs. Connor, muggles on vacation from Greenwich..." Lily quickly exclaimed, "I have to pretend to be married to him?! Why can't we just be friends? Or...or..." Shacklebolt cut in quickly, "You won't be required to do anything erm... you know. But it's the perfect cover! I mean you two argue all the time just like an old married cou-" He stopped when he saw Lily and James giving him death glares. "Well anyways there's all the information you need in those folders, and here... Shhh. After you memorize these, burn them, and *don't tell anyone*. Now you may leave..." He said quickly while handing each of them a crinkled green sticky note. Lily quickly opened hers when she left the room and read, *The first meeting of the Order of the Phoenix may be found at 408 Park Place Ct. at 5 o'clock on the twenty sixth of June. ~ Albus Dumbledore.*
James stared at the tiny note as he read in disbelief. Dumbledore wanted him and Lily to join an order? That was another question. What was the order of the Phoenix anyways? Glancing around to make sure no one else had seen the note, he shoved it in the folder and headed past a group of cackling, old witches towards the nearest fireplace. A second later he found himself standing in a dingy, three-room apartment. Home sweet home. He pushed a pile of dirty clothes off of a chair and sat down to read the file. There were quite a few documents on Dolahov. "He was born in Surrey, attended Hogwarts for two years, Durmstrang for five...", James read silently. None of this seemed unusual or interesting, well except for the Durmstrang bit, they were known to practice the dark arts. Suddenly a ragged piece of paper slipped out of the folder. James sighed. It was nothing but an old ad for flying carpets. As he placed it back in the folder he noticed something written on the back. It was an address; 509 Vulchan Drive.The note was old, and he made a mental note to tell Lily about it. Just then he noticed that his clock had struck a quarter 'til five. He grabbed his traveling cloak and jumped into the now blazing emerald fire.
"Ooof!" Lily glanced over at the bent figure with distaste. Potter. Her eyes narrowed as she saw him being helped up by someone tall with dark hair.Yes, she recognized him as Sirius Black, someone she loathed almost as much as James. They were both just as big-headed at least.How was it that they were invited here? She sighed inwardly and looked around the dimly lit room. She recognized Kingsley, her friend Bella Figg, Bella's mother, Arabella Figg, A fat little man called Peter, A wizard with haunted looking eyes called Remus, and then of course there were several witches and wizards that she had never seen before. Bella tapped her on the shoulder and hissed, "Look! Its Dumbledore!" and Lily turned towards a man with a long white beard that had started to speak. "Glad you could make it Mr. Potter. Now shall we begin? As you all know I have called you here for the first meeting of the Order of the Pheonix." He glanced around at the confused faces for a second then continued, "However, not many of you have been told what the Order of the Pheonix is so I will explain; The Order will be a organization of witches, wizards, and other magical beings that wish to join, who will work to defeat Voldemort. This will, I am afraid to say, be extremely dangerous and confidential, so I want everyone who signs to join to mean it." "But why is it called the Order of the Pheonix?" Lily cut in. Dumbledore's eyes twinkled and he answered, "As you all know, Pheonixes are extremely loyal and powerful, but they are also born from ashes and reborn everytime they burst into flame. The Order will form from us, and be reformed whenever our group is divided or destroyed. Now would anyone be interested in joining?"
