The Malfoy's Big Secret!!
Chapter 15!!
Harry awoke the next morning, only to come face to face with a smiling freckly face.
'George!' Harry yelled in surprise; nearly head butting him as he leapt to get up. 'What on earth are you doing?'
'I'm not George, I'm Fred,' the red-headed twin exclaimed, 'and I'm here to tell you to get up.'
'What'd you wake us for Fred,' Ron groaned whilst rolling over - he had probably been awoken by Harry's scream.
'I dunno, just felt like it that's all,' Fred said smiling mischievously and leaving their room. Ron threw his pillow and it hit the door, he had obviously tried to hit Fred, but in his sleepy state missed.
'Stupid git, wish he'd find something else to do.'
Harry yawned loudly and flopped back down on his bed. He could here Ron next to him doing the same.
'What do you think was up with your mum last night Ron?' Harry asked sleepily.
'Dunno, probably realized she had forgotten to do something, it always happens.'
'I dunno Ron, it seemed like something else.'
'Who cares, couldn't be that importa-'
'Good morning, did Fred wake you too?' It was Hermione and her hair looked, if possible, frizzier than usual, Ginny entered as well, looking extremely pale and drowsy.
Harry nodded whilst Ron sat up to allow room for Ginny and Hermione to sit down at the end of his bed. Harry sat up as well.
'I wish they could find something better to do with their morning,' Ginny said disapprovingly wiping some sleep out of her eyes.
'Where's Zell?' Hermione said looking just past Harry.
'Don't know, don't care,' Ron said yawning loudly again.
'Your mum was acting a bit strange last night wasn't she?' Hermione said looking puzzled, 'What was that all about?'
'For the second time, I don't know,' Ron said, getting up slowly, Harry followed suit, now that he was awake he was beginning to fell hungry.
'We'll see you two downstairs, I want to find out if Fred and George found out anything about the order's meeting last night,' Ginny said, and her and Hermione left the room.
Harry and Ron changed quickly and then followed the others downstairs, they too were eager to find out any news that they could.
When they got downstairs, they followed the chattering to the lounge room, where, surprisingly, everyone was gathered - awake of course due to Fred and George, who were looking extremely pleased with themselves.
'Good morning Ron, Good morning Harry dear,' Mrs. Weasley greeted them cheerfully. Harry admired the way she always stayed cheerful no matter what mood she was in. 'Come and sit here, we have some news to tell you.'
Harry and Ron made their way slowly over to the lounge that Lupin was sitting at. He gave them both a weary greeting and turned to face Mr. Weasley who called for silence.
'Okay everyone be quite for a second I have to tell you something important . don't get your hopes up it's not that exciting George,' Mr. Weasley had said to George who had looked at Fred in utter excitement - they obviously thought their father was going to tell them something about the Order's meeting.
Mrs. Weasley was sitting next to Zell, who was on the edge of the lounge, swinging his legs. Hermione and Ginny were sitting cross-legged on the ground with Fred and George, listening intently whilst Bill and Charlie sat on their own lounge appearing as though they had already heard the news.
'We have decided to have the next Order meeting at the school, as you know Hogwarts has several ancient spells around it, and as the next meeting is of great importance we decided to hold it there where we can not be overheard.'
Harry watched as everyone appeared to sink back into their seats, this hadn't been the exciting news they were hoping to here.
'It will be on tonight and because it is important that all the members are present you two will be in charge,' Mr. Weasley said, pointing, rather reluctantly, towards Fred and George, who perked up slightly after hearing this.
'Really?' Fred uttered in disbelief.
'Great, don't worry about a thing we'll take good care of everyone,' George said with a mischievous grin at Ron.
'No way,' Ron shouted upon seeing the look Fred and George had given him, 'Why can't mum stay.'
'I'm a member of the Order too Ron. It's very important that where all there.' Ron swore loudly and received a scowling look from his mother.
'Well that's all I had to say, so I sup-'
Suddenly two loud popping noises interrupted Mr. Weasleys ending message. It was Dumbledore, and to Harry's horror, and apparently the majority's too, Professor Snape had also arrived.
'Good morning Arthur,' Dumbledore said in his calm voice before addressing the rest of room. Snape simply glared at Harry, Ron and the others in turn, avoiding Lupin and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley altogether.
'Ah, Dumbledore, I was just finishing telling the others about tonight,' Mr. Weasley said with a cheerful smile.
'Of course Arthur, but there has been a change of plans, it will be on tomorrow night instead, as there is some important business I wish certain members to deal with tonight,' Dumbledore said in a very serious tone, and Snape shifted slightly.
Harry was sure that he wasn't alone when he thought that he would really like to know what it was that Snape had been getting up to all this time.
'Oh, well thank you Dumbledore for telling us,' Mr. Weasley said, nodding to Fred and George to make sure they took in the change of plans. They must have understood because they returned Mr. Weasley's nod.
'How about a cup of tea, Dumbledore, before you go, Severus your welcome to one too,' Mrs. Weasley said happily.
'I would never turn down a cup of tea if it was offered to me,' Dumbledore said smiling kindly; Snape however looked as though he would rather drink poison.
Mrs. Weasley got to making the tea straight away whilst Snape and Dumbledore took a seat on the lounge that Mrs. Weasley had just left. Snape looked as though this were the most painful experience he had ever experienced, and the look on Lupin's face told Harry that the feelings were mutual.
'And how have you been Zell,' Dumbledore addressed the boy next to him, still smiling.
'Great!' Zell squealed in his usual enthusiastic voice. 'I'm a tester.'
'Yeah, best one we've ever had,' George added and Fred nodded. Zell was positively beaming after this last comment and stuck his head up real high with a smug look on his face, making Ginny giggle.
Dumbledore continued to ask Zell questions about his first days there, whilst Snape surveyed Zell very closely. He seemed to be taking in everything about him, from the way he spoke to the way he moved.
Mrs. Weasley finally entered with the tea, and after Bill summoned up a table out of no where, she placed it on top and poured everyone a cup. Snape hadn't taken one, as Harry had no doubt; neither did Zell or Charlie, who apparently didn't like tea.
'Have you found out how long Zell will be staying here?' Mrs. Weasley asked Dumbledore casually.
'For a little while yet Molly,' Dumbledore said seriously and noticing the look on Lupin's face he added, 'What? So eager to get rid of him Remus?'
Lupin who had looked thoroughly disappointed at Dumbledore's response, smiled weakly, 'Of course not Dumbledore.'
'Good, because I should hope your using this time to get to know him a little better,' Dumbledore added with a smile, Lupin looked completely confused.
'And why would I want to get to know him better?' Lupin asked Dumbledore with a look that suggested what the older man had said had utterly offended him.
'Haven't you figured it out yet?' Dumbledore asked Lupin very seriously, obviously choosing his word's very carefully.
Harry looked up curious as to what it was that Lupin had yet to figure out, because he too had obviously not figured it out either. It seemed that he wasn't the only curious one, Fred, George, Ginny and Hermione looked up at him, as did Zell. Lupin eyed Zell closely.
'Haven't I figured what out yet?' Lupin asked now looking completely lost.
'I'm surprised at you Remus, Molly and I have both picked it up, I would have thought you'd have by now . no?'
Harry was itching to know what it was that Dumbledore and Mrs. Weasley had figured out that everyone else hadn't. This was obviously what Mrs. Weasley had realized the other night. Harry moved in closer to make sure he could here, so did Ron - this was totally unnecessary as Dumbledore was certainly speaking loudly enough.
Snape shifted uncomfortably in his seat, 'Professor I don't think you should bother telling him such an unimportant-'
'What are you talking about Dumbledore? What have you and Molly figured out that I haven't,' Lupin asked, now dying to know as everyone else was. It was probably Snape not wanting him to know, more than anything else, which made him so eager to find out.
Snape looked as though he were about to interrupt again, but Dumbledore spoke first.
'Why Remus, we have reason to believe that Zell is your son.'
JKH: Yay you think reviewing my fic is fun, oh man, you're too much. Everyone is so sure it's Lupin, oh well. Dumbledore? Wow! That was a guess and a half. Not a bad combination. Hehehehe thanks for reviewing.
