a few later on. J.K.Rowling wrote the foundation for this story.
It was early in the morning when Harry woke from his sleep again. However it was now starting to turn light out and Harry could see the sun rising outside his window even though it was closed. Harry rolled over onto his back and rubbed his eyes, he was still beat from getting up so late last night.last night, Harry had almost completely forgot about the visitors that had come late in the night.
He was still trying to shake off sleep when Ron stirred in his sleep, Harry thought about waking him and telling him about what he had seen, but he knew he could just as easily tell him when he awoke on his own. As if these thoughts had somehow transferred into Ron, he flopped over on his bed and slowly opened one eye.
'Oi, is it morning already?' Ron said groggily, 'I feel like haven't slept at all.'
'Well at least you slept all night,' Harry managed to say through a yawn, 'We have visitors here at the house last night.'
Ron sat up and looked over at Harry, he shock his head removing the last remnants of sleep. Harry told him about what he had seen, the strangers, how Moody and Lupin sounded worried and how the one that left looked like he was suffering from some sort of pain in his chest. Ron listened with interest and nodded his head; he like Harry didn't know anything about them.
'Did you recognize the voice at all?' Ron asked.
'No,' Harry said after a moment, 'but I don't think that it was local, he sounded like he had an accent of some sort.'
Ron sat there on his bed for a few moments then looked back up at Harry, 'Well we can't think on an empty stomach so lets at least go and get some breakfast. Maybe Hermione will come up with something.'
They rose and changed back into their other clothing and then proceeded down stairs. As they come down into the hallway they could here noises coming from the kitchen, at least some other people were awake as well. As the boys entered the kitchen they say that not only was Mrs. Weasley up but that one of the visitors sat at they table helping himself to some toast that lay on the table along with a whole feast for breakfast. The boy looked no older then 12, he was around Ginny's height and he had short cut brown hair and blue eyes. He was eating as though he hadn't eaten in some time.
'Well there you two are,' Mrs. Weasley said as she put some more food on the table, it looked like she would be feeding the entire order this morning, 'I thought you were going to sleep in all morning.'
'Mom, it's still only 8:00,' Ron said as he sat down at the table and started helping himself to some bacon. 'Give us some time to sleep would you.'
'Well you had best hurry up and eat,' she said, 'the rest of the order will be hungry as well you know.'
'The rest of the Order?' Harry repeated.
' Well most of them, yes they are holding a meeting now, but they'll be out soon.' Mrs. Weasley answered as she too sat down at the table. 'Oh, I forgot myself, boys this is Sean McKnight.'
Sean looked up at Harry and Ron, 'Hello.' He managed to say as he picked up his glass and drained it.
'Sean this is my son Ron, (Ron nodded as his mouth was full) and this is Harry Potter.'
A look passed over the boy's eyes as Harry in turn said hello, he had obviously heard his name. Must of the Wizarding world had.
'Well the others should be out soon, ah there they are.'
Harry turned to the door on the side to see a great many people enter into the kitchen. Harry saw quite a few familiar faces enter but on he had hoped he would run into came in as well. Professor Snape, Harry's potions teacher was perhaps his most hated teacher, aside from the last year's Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Umbridge. He couldn't be sure which one he loathed more, but Umbridge had made life hell for Harry the other year so she had managed to replace Snape for a little time.
Snape saw that Harry was sitting at the table, his lip curled but he returned to talking to the others. But Harry let himself forget Snape as other Order members sat down at the long table, but among them was a new face Harry had never seen. He was tall with brown wavy hair that ran down to his shoulders, he was built a little bulkier then Harry and his eyes were a grey hue. He sat down next to Sean and started to talk to him, then it dawned on Harry, that must have been the other stranger he had seen last night.
'Harry good to see you,' a voice said beside him, Harry looked over to see a man with a bald him smiling, 'Having a good summer so far?'
'It sure beats sitting around at the Dursley's, Mr. Shacklebolt' Harry answered.
'Just call me Kingsley, Harry,' Kingsley said as he took a seat.
'Glad you decided to stay at least for breakfast Severus, can't save the world without food.' A witch that sat next to him said.
'No, you most certainly can't.' Snape said, but he looked like he couldn't wait to leave. The witch seemed to take no notice.
The chatter broke out as everyone sat at the table, which was surprising longer then, normal and had just enough to seat everyone. They were all talking about different things from Quidditch to recipes for potions. Harry and Ron sat together and chatted to each other but Harry's eyes kept glancing back at the older McKnight. Harry knew that there was something different about him, more like something he was hiding from the rest of the table but he couldn't be sure. Where had he gone last night and what was it that had seemed to cause him pain.
Suddenly the doorbell rang and everyone stopped for a second them continued on. Harry rose from his chair muttering he'd get the door the left the kitchen and Mrs. Weasley's wonderful cooking.
He reached the front door and opened it, there stood on the porch Fred and George Weasley, Ron's older brothers. They were again wearing their Dragon scale coats looking quite pleased.
'Harry good to see you mate!' Fred said clasping Harry's hand and shaking it.
'Hope you've up to no good!' George said patting Harry on the shoulder.
'Well someone has to take over the chief mischief makers at Hogworts.' Harry laughed as they stepped inside and made their way into the kitchen. 'It's not an easy job to fill you know.'
'Ah, Harry my boy,' George said with trying to look like he was passing on a great tradition, 'we hope that you will bear it well,'
'Wait a second I didn't say it was me!' Harry said quickly, 'I'm just saying after you both left there was quite an uproar to take the job.'
'Any takers?' Fred asked looking more then slightly pleased.
'Nah, you two did the best job.' Harry added as he pushed open the kitchen door.
'Well glad to hear that Harry,' George said, 'we were thinking that.'
Suddenly George stopped as he gazed around the room, he eyes seemed to stop on the McKnight brothers. 'Who're they?'
'They arrived here last night.' Harry told them, 'the younger one is Sean McKnight, I think that the older one is his brother.'
'What's Snape doing here?' Fred asked, 'I thought he never ate here.'
'Well someone changed his mind,' Harry said with sigh, 'at least you two are done now.'
'Only beginning Harry, only beginning.' Fred said with a smile, 'what to try one of our newest inventions?'
'What is it?' Harry said eyeing a small bow that Fred had drawn from his pocket. He knew that they twins where geniuses when it came to pranks.
'A little something that I like to call Fire Dancers.' George said with a grin.
'What does it do?' Harry said eyeing the small box.
'What does it do? What does it do?' Fred said pretending to look slightly hurt. 'Just add some water and those baby's will lit on fire and leap all over the place. Good from mayhem.'
'Why does that not surprise me?' Harry asked them. They grinned then left to join the rest of the table. Harry looked at the box for a second longer then put it in his pocket and rejoined the table.
'So Cedric going to see Dumbledore later?' Lupin asked the taller McKnight.
'Yeah, we are going to see him after breakfast.' Cedric said as he finished off as piece of toast, 'He still at Hogworts?'
'No he is at the ministry today at some sort of hearing. I'm going to see him anyway we might as well go together.' Kingsley said.
'Well we better get going, I have to stop in at Diagon Alley later, I need to get some school supplies for me and Sean.' Cedric said.
With that the McKnight brothers and Kingsley rose and made for the door, they stopped and thanked Mrs. Weasley for the breakfast then left. Lupin, who was sitting next to Ron shock his head and muttered, 'Poor guys, its hard when you lose both your parents but especially when they are murdered in front of you by Voldemort.' Everyone shuddered at the name except Harry who simply ate on, he knew what it was like, he knew all to well.
Well, well that's all for now, now its off to work I go, ah summer jobs, got to love that money. Hehe have fun reading it and please review!
