~Meetings and Duels~

The next day the young men of gryffindor all woke up late and they had to change at top speed to make it to potions. The five walked into the potions dungeon just before the bell went and they took their seats.

The students were all sitting for about five minuets when professor Snape still hadn't come. They all began whispering about what could have happened when professor McGonagall came in. 'Potter, Weasley, Finnegan, Thomas, Longbottom, please come with me to the headmasters office, the rest of you, your classes have been cancelled for the morning. 'All of the students were happy about this but Harry, Ron, Seamus, Neville, and Dean were all wondering what this could be about.

They all approached the gargoyle that stood sentry over Dumbledores office when McGonagall said 'Ton-Tongue-Toffees.' Harry and Ron exchanged glances at the password, they all took a step onto the revolving staircase and soon were inside Dumbledores office, but they weren't the only ones, as it seemed the whole Order of the Phoenix were inside they office as well.

Any kind of chatter that was going on ceased to exist as Dumbledore began to speak. 'As you all know, Voldemort (a collective shudder went around the room at the name) has resurrected four other dark wizards from the past, these four were the most feared evil wizards of their time and they have formed a "Dark Order" now the Dark Orders activity has been growing for quite some time and attacks have been coming more regularly, if the mysterious Brotherhood of the Wolf hadn't showed up to the massive attack on that village in Switzerland, or on the minor but most effective attack of Diagon Ally, I don't know what would have happened.' After the mention of the Brotherhood everyone looked around at each other but didn't speak a word, the Weasley's all gave the gryffindors a small glance then relayed their attention back to Dumbledore. 'Now we do not know who this Brotherhood is but I believe that they will help us in our times of need, they haven't once let a deatheater attack happen without stopping it,' 'Now down to business, I want to find a way to contact this Brotherhood so that they could aid us in the offensive we will be launching near the end of the school year, we have found the Dark Order's hide out and they will not expect us to launch an offensive like this.' All the while Dumbledore had been talking Harry had been thinking, he sighed and stood forward, he had to make it look like no one knew about them being the Brotherhood, 'Professor Dumbledore, I the leader of the Brotherhood of the Wolf offer our services to you and the Order when you launch you offensive toward the Dark Order,' Harry could tell the others had taken their usual spots behind their leader, the same formation they used during the attack on Hogsmede. Everyone looked shocked, including Dumbledore, and Harry mentally thanked him for understanding what he was doing.

'Harry, Ron, Seamus, Neville, Dean, you? You're the Brotherhood? How? The speaker was Professor McGonagall, she looked clearly surprised and Harry answered her question very simply, 'We were chosen.'

This looked to confuse everyone even more, except for Dumbledore and the Weasley's, as they already knew about everything. 'Now as for this offensive you're launching towards the Dark Order I have already made some plans for attack.' 'Now when we reach their stronghold I will start a storm using my elemental ability, we will be quite far away when I do this, then I will send down lightning bolts at the deatheaters, I can take out about twenty to thirty deatheaters before I get tired. Then after the last bolt we go with whatever plan Professor Dumbledore has.' Everyone looked impressed at Harry's plan and then looked towards Dumbledore for his part of the plan.

Dumbledore was beaming at Harry when he started to speak. 'Okay now after the last bolt of lightning Harry sends down we will have all of our most experienced in dueling apperate down towards the deatheaters and start dueling, the order members that have just come out of school and aren't as experienced in dueling will hold back and shoot stunners down towards the deatheaters further back lines, and as for The Brotherhood they will apperate into the stronghold and attack Voldemort, Grindlewald, Omaden the Dark, Elric the Evil, Ralistein.' At this there was an uproar, they may be the Brotherhood but they're still children! Was heard many times, but Dumbledore just rose his hand to silence them, 'I have full confidence in Harry, Ron, Neville, Seamus and Deans abilities and I know they can hold their own in a duel with these five evil wizards.' 'But if the event that they start losing they know how to contact me, I will apperate right to them and help as much as I can.' Every one looked a little more relieved at this news and Dumbledore ended the meeting after telling the boys that Snape was on a mission at the moment and that's why he didn't show up to the class.

Harry, Ron, Seamus, Dean and Neville were walking down to the great hall for lunch and they were talking about the meeting in hushed voices, 'This is going to be a hard battle, especially since we're going after the "big bad five" as Ron dubbed Voldemort and the four he brought from the past. The were just sitting down to eat when Malfoy walked over and said, 'so what happened Scarhead, get another medal for having a scar? Or did you make the front page in the paper? I for one wouldn't be proud of having my parents killed!' with the last part said Harry stood up and gave Malfoy a look that could kill, Malfoy flinched but just a little, 'So Malfoy, think your so popular and can say anything about anyone? Well your wrong, I'm challenging you to a duel out on the quidditch pitch tonight at six thirty!'

'I accept your challenge Potty, who's your second?' Harry turned to look at the others and pointed to Ron, 'Ron is who's yours? Malfoy turned to look at his companions and he point to Goyle, 'Goyle will be, this is the last duel you'll be in!' with that said Malfoy and his cronies walked away and Harry and the other gryffindors sat down.

'He's going to regret making fun of me and my family!' Harry told the others, they all went back to eating and then left for transfiguration.

They arrived at class and McGonagall walked over to them, 'Well as it seems you can accomplish every task I give you for class before the first bell goes I have decided to start you on seventh year transfiguration. McGonagall told the five. They all looked pleased with themselves and McGonagall told them that James Potter and Sirius Black were the only other students in her history of teaching to ever start working a year ahead of everyone else, the five all looked very proud of themselves and began work, they had to transfigure a large stone into a bird, and give it a timer so that it will transfigure back into the stone after a certain amount of time. They all were able transfigure it by the end of class.

The rest of their classes were mostly taking down notes, so the day past by quite slowly, but quite surly. Six o'clock rolled around and Harry and Ron stated to head down to the quidditch pitch, they told the others to stay in the common room, as it would take minimal time to take care of Malfoy; they arrived on the quidditch pitch at the same moment Malfoy and before any words could be said Malfoy started off by yelling "Excalibus" a sword sprouted out of his wand and he ran at Harry as his wand wasn't out yet, Harry drew is dual short swords and Malfoy faltered slightly by seeing these short swords being drawn but he continued charging. He brought the sword down as hard and fast as he could but Harry blocked with one short sword and hit the sword hard enough with his own to change it back to a wand, Harry put his short swords away and drew his wand, he quickly yelled "Explliarmus", "Impedimenta", and "Stupefy" in quick succession Malfoy, unable to block the three spells was disarmed stopped and knocked unconscious all at once, Golye, jumped in but Harry stepped away and let Ron have some fun. Golye tried saying stupefy but said it wrong and it backfired on him and knocked himself out. Ron just said 'Damn, I wanted to have some fun!' Harry just enervated the both of them and left. They reached the common room and told the others that they won and then they just sat up for a bit playing exploding snap and finishing off the little bit of homework they had put off. 'Well I'm off to bed, se all of you tomorrow, and with that Harry walked up to the dorm where he just climbed under the blankets without changing, he called Bolt to him and he fell asleep while scratching his ear.

Well there she is, chapter thirteen, what do you think, review please,
