Chapter Two: The Head Quarter's of the Order and Stevie
Harry hated summer holidays. He was cooped up in his room at Number 4, Privet Drive, with his abusive cousin and uncle. Harry lay on his bed. He was massively tired and hung over. He couldn't find a comfortable position because of all the bruises all over him, from the last time Dudley decided to beat him up. The fact that he i could /i curse him, didn't stop Dudley anymore. Dudley seemed to know that he'd be expelled from Hogwarts. And so did Uncle Vernon. Slowly, and carefully, so as not to wake the Dursely's, he crept downstairs and flung open the door to the medicine cabinet. "Where is it?" he asked aloud. Then he saw what he wanted. First of all, he wanted aspirin. And second of all, he wanted his cousin's "medicine". They were really ecstasy. And as much as Harry hated drugs, the past few days had been too much to take, so he got high to block it out.
Harry popped a pill in his mouth and grabbed three for later. He tip-toed back up the stairs, intending to make it to the roof before the E kicked in. He grabbed a blanket and some books, parchment, and quills. It wasn't very late and Harry realized this, so he took things to occupy him, in case he didn't have enough pills.
As the high kicked in, Harry noticed something across the sky. It looked like a bunch of geese. But it seemed to be coming closer, and Harry realized they were too big too be geese. Then he thought, i I'm just seeing things. It's the E. Not my eyes. /i Until he saw that they were on brooms. "Wizards!" Harry said and laughed. Then, Lupin, the real Mad-Eye Moody, two wizards he didn't know and two witches he didn't know either, entered his house. Harry was confused. So, he stepped inside and went down to the kitchen. And before he knew it, Harry was on his broom, being taken out of the Dursely house. He didn't remember much, after that.
He woke in a bed in a strange house. Ron was there looking over him. "Bloody hell! Harry, are you okay?" he asked. "Yeah, I think so. Where are we?" he replied.
"The headquarters of the Order of Phoenix."
"Oh. Um...what's that?"
Ron rolled his eyes. "The Order that fights Who-Know-Who. And the Ministry now...Mum's got breakfast. Wanna go?"
"Yeah." said Harry rolling over, "Yeah. Let's go."
Harry and Ron walked downstairs. "Um, Ron?" Harry asked. "Yeah?" he replied.
"Well, what happened last night?"
"I dunno. You'll have to ask Lupin. He was there."
Harry nodded and noticed that Lupin was at the table. And so were the two witches he didn't know. "Good morning, Harry!" One announced happily. "Hi," said Harry. The witch, he noticed, had spiky pink hair. The other had long black hair, with purple streaks, and eyes that were startlingly similar in colour and shape to Harry's. Lupin looked at her and then looked away when she caught his gaze.
"How are you, Harry?" Lupin asked.
"I have a head-ache. And I'm a little confused, but I guess I'm fine." Harry replied.
"Why are you confused?"
"I don't really know what happened. Or where I am or how I got here."
Then the pink-haired witch spoke, "Well, ecstasy'll do that to you." she winked at him.
"Well," Lupin began, "Last night we came and brought you here. That's about it."
"Oh." Harry said.
"But, we can save details for later. You need to meet someone." Lupin pointed at the witch who resembled Harry. "This," he said, "is Stevie Potter. She's your dad's sister." Harry's jaw dropped. He didn't know he had any other relatives. And she seemed just as nervous as he did. "So...so, you're my aunt?" Harry said, rather lamely.
"Yup, that's me!" she said with a smile. And that seemed to make them both more comfortable.
"We'll just go," Lupin said and gathered Ron out of the room.
His conversation with Stevie was very pleasant and he realized that she and the other witch, Tonks, were very cool. Before they left the table Stevie said, "Tomorrow, Sirius and I are going to go with you to King's Cross. Have a nice day and I'll see you."
Harry had a long conversation with Sirius, later. Sirius was awfully glad to see him again. And then, they both retired. It seemed like five minutes and then he was at King's Cross, saying goodbye to everyone. "Keep in touch, Harry!" Stevie yelled, and pat Sirius on the head and let him off his leash.
