Chapter Nine
Listen everyone. I am sorry, but for some unknown reason I could not upload my story with quotation marks for when some one is speaking or to show ownership without a lot of stupid signs like *^%$ where my quotation marks where, so yes I know I do not have any in this chapter. I hope it does not make it difficult to read, and trust me I am working on it. So for this Chapter you get ( ) these at the beginning and ending of some ones speech. If any one knows how to fix this problem I would be very appreciative.
About a month has passed since the last chapter.
I can not believe the secrete order of the phoenix has been together for two months now, and so far everything is running smoothly. For some reason this stupid scar I have will not allow the face illusion to work on me, but at least it works on everyone else. Maybe it will be a good thing that Voldemort will see my face. Let him no that this thorn in his side that he so nicely stated last year is still digging deeper thought Harry to himself as he tried to master his animagus form alone in the room of requirements late that Sunday afternoon. It had become a recurring thing for Harry to spend several hours alone in the room of requirements perfecting his dueling techniques and trying to learn new sorts of magic.
Come on Harry you can do this. I mean okay if I do this transfiguration wrong I could have a distorted body forever or I could get it rite and finally be an animagus. Decisions, decisions, Harry thought to himself as he tried to work up the courage to finish the incantation to take his animagus form.
Okay, here goes nothing, Harry thought.
Tightly balling his hands into fists and closing his eyes he began to say the spell that would make him take his animagus form. As he finished the spell he immediately felt his body shrinking and distorting all at the same time, and within a mere seconds Harrys body had transformed. As Harry opened his eyes the sight that was before him made him let out a small yelp/roar. He had done it; he had finally after three months of work and countless hours every night studying, he had done it. Harry Potter had taking on an animagus form, but not just any form he had taken the form of a fully-grown Siberian White Tiger that had staggering emerald green eyes.
Bloody hell I did it, I did it. Well Mr. Potter I do believe you look dashing in your new form, a gazillion points to yourself for becoming an animagus, Harry thought to himself.
After about thirty minutes of staggering around and falling into the walls and puffy cushions that littered the floor Harry had got the art of walking on four legs and pouncing around down so he decided to call it a night. As he was walking back to the Gryffindor tower he over heard a conversation between McGonagall and Flitwick.
(I do not understand why You-Know-Who has not done anything since the ministry fiasco,) Said McGonagall.
(Do you think he is planning something drastic and is waiting for the rite moment asked?) Asked Flitwick.
(I think that may be exactly what he is doing. All we know is that the potion he is having made is definitely not for a good reason, and I am afraid of what it could be used for. Albus sure is not happy about it and I think he fears it will have something to do with Harry. I pray that this time however, that Voldemort leaves that boy alone. He has been through too much now, and I just do not know how much more he can take. I cannot even stand it for him as well as Molly Weasley and Tonks, and it is not even happening to us. I think the only thing that is keeping him sane now is his friends and his schoolwork. He is throwing all of himself into his studies now which I am very happy for, but I just wish fore one year that all he would have to worry about is quidditch and avoiding filch,) said McGonagall.
After hearing this Harry ran straight to the Gryffindor tower so they would not know he overheard it, and made a mental note to bring it up in the next order meeting.
I know that Voldemort desperately wants me dead now so Dumbeldores hunch on the potion is probably rite, but the order and I will handle it when the time comes, thought Harry to himself as he was drifting off to sleep that night.
The next morning when Harry, Sarah, Hermione, and Ron walked into the Great Hall they were met with several different people from the order.
(Can you believe they have started up another dueling club for tonight. Only this time it is for students that are fifth years and above because we are actually getting to use hexes and stunning spells. Of course the teachers say that no harsh hexes will be tolerated, but you know those slimy Slytherins will throw some in mind you. There is also going to be three auroras here to watch and rank us on how we do,) said Dean while Harry and the rest set down to eat breakfast.
(So there is another dueling club,) said Ron.
(Yup, it appears that way doesn't it,) said Harry.
(Harry do you think we should join? You know all of us in the order?) Hermione whispered.
(Most definitely, I want everyone in the order to duel with someone else in the school so they can practice some of the things they have learned. The more duels we all have under our belts the better we will do when our skills are really tested,) said Harry.
After he said that he got up and walked over to the Ravenclaw table and whispered something into Lunas ear. After he finished she gave him a broad smile and shook her head yes where she got up and started talking to the other members that where in the Ravenclaw house. Harry then proceeded to the Huffelpuff table and also whispered into Susan Bones ear where she replied the same as Luna.
(Harry mate, what was that all about?) Asked Ron.
(I just got the word out to the order that everyone will be present and participating in the dueling club tonight,) said Harry.
(Great I have been wanting to try out some of the things you have taught us Harry,) said Sarah.
(You will do great Sarah, just stay calm and use your head and you will do fine,) said Harry smiling at her.
(Harry, I was wondering how your Occulemency training is going now since you are training yourself?) Asked Hermione.
(Well Hermione, I am pretty sure I have got it under control. I know one thing, with this research and training I have been doing towards occulemency I have got where I can read other people's minds the way Snape was reading mine last year. However, the only way you can read someone's mind is if you are within five feet of them, but still I have tested it out on some people out of the order. Don't worry I asked their permission first,) said Harry after receiving a stern look from Hermione. (I have a feeling though that this is going to come in very useful in the near future. I mean look at the three future death eaters sitting over there at the Slytherin table. They could already be one now and we don't even know it,) said Harry.
(I know, and that is really good Harry, but I am still worried that You-Know Who is going to try and invade your mind again,) said Hermione fearfully.
(Do not worry Hermione he has already tried a couple of times this year. However, after studying up on occulemecy I have found out how to tale if the images he is putting in my mind are real,) said Harry.
(How,) said Sarah?
(Well, it is quite easy actually. The ones that are real are very vivid and I can somewhat feel things from the images in my head, like with your dad last year Ron. However when they are fake I do not feel anything and they are not as vivid in color in my mind,) said Harry.
(Come on we are going to be late for class,) said Hermione after they had all finished eating breakfast.
Later that night everyone pilled into the Great Hall where all of the tables were pushed back against the wall and one table was centered in the hall and padded for safety.
(Students listen up now. We the teachers have already pared you all up for your upcoming duels tonight. Everyone participating will have one duel and only one, and the student who has the highest total from our three aurora judges will be the victor. The rules for this competition are to stun your opponent and retrieve their wand and hand it to the teacher that is standing guard at the side of the dueling area. Hexes and stunners are allowed, but any hex that could leave long lasting burns or injuries are strictly prohibited; and if one is used that student who cast it will be strictly dealt with. Now without further ado let the dueling begin,) said McGonagall.
As all of the students began to clap, Harry began his search for the three aurora judges that were present for the competition. It had completely slipped his mind that Tonks could be one of the judges that would be present for tonight, and sure enough Harrys eyes fell on Tonks smiling brightly at him with her bright pink hair laying straight and down to her shoulders. Tonks and Harrys relationship was odd to say the least, but she and Harry seemed to take to it like fish to water. At first Tonks come to Harry being very motherly towards him even though she was only about ten years older that is just the way she felt towards him. Later on especially after she sat and talked to Molly Weasley after their big row that night and Grimmaul Place, Tonks finally came out and said that she felt like Harry was part of her family and she intended to make him feel that way. After a little advise from Mrs. Weasley, Tonks from then on left the motherly stuff to Mrs. Weasley much to her satisfaction, and took over as Harrys over protective and loving, but fun as hell big sister causing their bond to become even stronger.
Harry quickly waved at her and motioned to his hair that he liked what she had done to it. This caused Tonks to laugh and give Harry a small curtsy in mock gratitude before she mouthed be careful you got Malfoy. Wonderful Harry thought its time for me to get back at him for what his family did to Sirius last year.
About thirty minutes later the dueling was going quite well. So far out of the twelve members from Harrys order ten were victorious. Ginny had lost by mere inches when she had been stunned by Pansy Parkinson who had thrown quite a curse at her that she was not quick enough in defending. However, the teachers were very surprised in how Ginny had done because they had giving her very slim odds of winning against Pansy who was a year older. Dean was the other order member who lost because Snape disqualified him for pushing Goyle who lost his balance and fell from the mat. Now there were only five or ten more duels to go before Harry and Malfoy had it out.
(Hey Potter, after I defeat you in front of everyone how about you give me that whore that is standing by your side and let me show her what she is destined to become,) said Malfoy.
Harry was seething with anger and had to be held back by Ron, Dean, Seamus, and Lee as Sarah told him that nothing that git says could hurt her because she knew that he is slime. After that night where Harry had fallen asleep on Sarahs lap they had become very close, they just had not taken the next step in making their relationship official yet.
As Harry collected himself he briefly herd that Neville had one his match against Crabbe, and that the next to duel was Harry and Malfoy.
(Your next mate, kick his ass,) said Ron.
(Do not worry Ron, I am doing this to show the Slytherins that if they choose to fight for Voldemort they will have to contend with me sooner or later,) said Harry as he made his way to the center of the dueling mat.
(Duelers count your paces off and begin when ready,) announced Snape as he smirked at Potter.
As they counted off their steps and faced each other Draco took his dueling stance while Harry just stood there with his wand at his side.
(What's the matter Potter, so scared you want to quit already,) asked Draco.
(Do not taunt him, finish him!) Growled Snape.
Immediately Draco yelled (STUPIFY,) towards Harry, but Harry had already began walking towards Malfoy and deflected Dracos spell with the silver shield he had taught all of his order members about a month ago. Harry however, did not stop his walk towards Draco. Then Harry gave a quick flick of his wand and a line of fire about five feet high was now standing across the mat in front of Draco, but still Harry had not broken his stride. At this Draco raised his wand to fire another curse at Harry, but Harry gave another quick wave of his wand and he had produced a cold wind that he directed at the fire causing it to smoke up in front of Draco obscuring his vision. As Harry strode to the edge of the fire without stopping he muttered the levitation spell he read from how to use apparation during a duel, and levitated himself over the flames and behind Draco, where Harry then used a whipping hex on Dracos back side. This caused Draco to stumble and fall through the fire and onto the other side where he was now arching his back in pain and trying to put out the flames that was now on the hem of his robe. Before Harry walked through the flames he had produce he cast a cooling charm on the flames and walked through them unburned and again picked up his assault on Draco. As Draco staggered and threw another curse at Harry, Harry again blocked the curse and quickly stunned Draco. However, when Harry bent down to retrieve Dracos wand to end the match he quietly muttered the spell to invade Dracos mind and read his thoughts. To the unsuspecting eye it looked like Harry was just checking to see if he was okay, but in fact Harry was receiving a world of images. Draco and his goons had not become official death eaters yet according to Dracos thoughts, but Harry was now reading the images of Dracos latest letter he had received from his father who had bought his way as well as the other death eaters captured last year from Azkaban. The letter read that there would be an attack on Diagon Alley on Monday November the second at ten that night.
As Snape approached Harry and the unconscious Draco, Harry quickly stood with Dracos wand in hand losing the mind connection and faced Snape.
(Here professor is the wand of your favorite student, Next time maybe a few certain people will not doubt my abilities,) said Harry as he quietly walked off stage.
After smiling at Tonks who looked in complete astonishment as well as the other two auroras and the whole teachers staff; Harry continued his way out of the Great Hall where he then touched his wand to his phoenix necklace sending out the signal that everyone was to follow him.
Thirty minutes later the order including George, Fred, and Angelina who had snuck through honeydukes passage and into the school were breathing heavily and leaning against the wall awaiting to here what was so urgent.
(Listen everyone. We are going to be tested tonight for real. There is an attack on Diagon Alley tonight by Voldemort and his death eaters, and we are going to stop it. The assault on Diagon Alley should take place in two hours, which gives us time to gather our things and portkey there. I know this is quite unnerving, but we have the ellimate of surprise and we should out number them, we have also set up battle tactics where they will probably just be running amuck while Volemort gets what ever he is in search of there. Now as long as we do not break form I know we will become victorious. It is up to us to stop him, and this is what we have trained for. It is time you put your worries aside and fight along side your fellow order member,) said Harry.
(YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!) The order said as they to where pumping themselves up for the battle they new they were about to initiate, and could die doing so. They also knew though that if they did not then no one would. So as they all gathered their things together and switched their robes; the members of the secrete order prepared to grab the portkey Harry had just made to take them to the outskirts of Diagon Alley. Just as they were about to grab the portkey Harry quickly grabbed Sarahs hand who was standing beside him and gave it a gentle squeeze of assurance where she smiled back at him and gave him a quick hug.
Now remember when we get their flyers take flight and await my signal after you have all put the disillusionment charm on yourselves, and the rest you will line up in your form. This is it everyone, this is what we have all be training for. We are transporting in five, four, three, two, one, and then the room of requirements was empty.

I just want to say thank you all again for reviewing. Without your reviews I would not know whether or not to continue writing so thank you again. I hope this chapter gave you a taste of what is to come. I think everyone will definitely like the next chapter that should be up around Friday or Saturday of next week. If you are wondering about Tonks character switch I decided that Tonks character better fit to Harry as an older sister, and so her true character could show through. Don't worry for thoughs of you who liked her the way she was she is still very protective of Harry and loves him since she feels he is a part of her family. Lets just say she came on to strong in the beginning and she wised up since she is kind of new to having someone slightly younger around her. Another question to answer is the Harry/Sarah relationship. Yes this will be Harry/Sarah and let me justify my reasons for doing so. Like I wrote about two chapters ago, I didn't want to spend ten chapters for everyone to get to know Sarah because I wanted this story to mainly be about Harry and his order and the stand they are taking. So just think about Sarah being a perfect match for the duo. You know balance things out with two guys and two girls. I am sorry if some don't like Sarah being with Harry that much, but I promise the chapters to come will make up for that. Again tell me if you have an idea that you think could help make this story better. Like I said I have an outline made, but if you throw out a better idea I would love to incorporate it into my story, and I will give you credit for your idea too, so don't worry about that. So, with that I hope you liked this chapter.
Listen everyone. I am sorry, but for some unknown reason I could not upload my story with quotation marks for when some one is speaking or to show ownership without a lot of stupid signs like *^%$ where my quotation marks where, so yes I know I do not have any in this chapter.

Like I wrote about two chapters ago, I didn't want to spend ten chapters for everyone to get to know Sarah because I wanted this story to mainly be about Harry and his order and the stand they are taking. So just think about Sarah being a perfect match for the duo. You know balance things out with two guys and two girls. I am sorry if some don't like Sarah being with Harry that much, but I promise the chapters to come will make up for that. Again tell me if you have an idea that you think could help make this story better. Like I said I have an outline made, but if you throw out a better idea I would love to incorporate it into my story, and I will give you credit for your idea too, so don't worry about that. So, with that I hope you liked this chapter.
