George hummed softly while Fred watched the gathered order of the phoenix.

Finally, Dumbledore had enough of the noise and stomped his feet on the ground. "Attention, everyone."

Quickly everybody sat down – besides the tins who were already sitting – and listened.

"This emergency meeting was called due to an unfortunate turn of events."

Now he had the attention of everyone in the room, including Mundungus Fletcher. Suddenly, a weight settled in Fred's stomach. He put his hand on his brother's knee.

~Please, don't let it be what I think it is.~

Dumbledore looked at everyone once before he continued. "As it appears to be, Lucius Malfoy was seen walking, talking and looking perfectly healthy in Ireland."

Fred could hear George's sharp intake of breath. ~Please don't make a connection to us.~

Fred knew he was being paranoid. There was simply no way Dumbledore could have heard of the twins activities.

Suddenly, the room erupted with noise. Shouts of 'That's impossible!' 'Now way!' or even 'You must be insane!' were heard.

Dumbledore gestured for it to be silenced and soon the noise died out.

"I contacted some of my acquaintances and they came up with a few details. Apparently, Draco Malfoy restored his father's soul with a special ritual that involved a celestrial. Unfortunately that was all the information I could get."

Again the order started to discuss this under itself.

Fred squeezed his brother's knee and sighed mentally. ~Saved.~

Again, Dumbledore quietened them down. "Now, we have to find out how exactly Draco Malfoy managed to do this and what else he is capable of"

George's finger nudged Fred's side. Fred understood the message. 'Yeah, right, as if Malfoy did anything. We found the ritual and got it necromancer approved.'

Dumbledore continued. "We will also need to find out if Voldemort was involved in this." Severus nodded. "And, of course, if we can use this knowledge to our advantage. To restore a soul is a very mighty power. Maybe if we altered the ritual we could make it less dangerous, less consumed from dark magic and use it to heal patients such as the Longbottoms."

The order agreed and soon the tasks were set.

Fred and George never got a serious task anyway. They were just in the order because their brothers and parents were. They weren't exactly wanted here. Many of these people thought them to be juvenile pranksters and just some of them thought they could at least be helpful in a fight.

Sometimes this fact was depressing.

Soon the tasks were set clear – Mundungus would search for information and Severus would noise around in Voldemort's lair. Charlie and Bill would ask around about ritual magic, together with two people the twins didn't know much about. Their father would look for Malfoy influence in the ministry.

This evening, when the twins arrived in their home, George dropped dead on the couch.

Fred smiled and pressed a quick kiss on his brother's cheek. "I'll make something to eat."

George nodded and sighed. "We had luck." "Once again."

George stayed on the couch until Fred handed him a piece of pizza. "Yum."

Fred sat down next to George and started eating. Their dinner was interrupted by their fireplace roaring to life.

"Messrs. Weasley."

Fred nearly lost his pizza and George sighed through his mouthful. "We never get any peace, do we?"

Fred stumbled over to the fireplace and answered. "Yeah?"

Suddenly, Lucius head appeared. Fred and George raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Malfoy?" they said at the same time.

Lucius smirked. "Are you interested in doing me a little favour? I assure you, it would be well paid."
