...And we begin
Having just settled Harry into his and Ron's room upstairs at number 12 Grimmauld Place, Molly Weasley entered the already crowded kitchen. Seated at the table inside were Arthur, Charlie, George and Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, and fresh from escorting Harry from Surrey was Mad-eye Moody and Tonks. "So are we ready to start this meeting?", growled Moody. Minerva shook her head. "No we are still waiting for Dumbledore." As if on cue, Albus Dumbledore suddenly apparated into the kitchen. "Thank you all for coming. I called this meeting, because I have hired a new defense against the arts teacher for this year. She is also a new member to the Order of the Phoenix and I wanted to introduce you all to her, although a couple of you may remember her." This last statement drew a few raised eyebrows. Just then a tall, brunette woman in her mid-thirties walked into the room. Upon her enterance, Lupin gave a short laugh of excitement. He stood up, quickly crossed the room and embraced the woman. "Redi! God, I haven't seen you for- what is itfourteen years?" "Almost fifeteen and a half years", laughed the woman. "Well no matter. It's great to see you again.",replied Lupin. "Same here Remus."
Minerva cleared her throat loudly bringing Remus back to reality. "Oh sorry. Allow me to introduce you to everyone,Redi", said Lupin and he went around the table introducing the old Order members. He then gestured to the woman and said,"and everyone, this is Meredith Fairbanks, an old friend from when we were students at Hogwarts." "Oh", Minerva said, "I thought you looked familar-you were in Gryffindor, right? You and Lily Potter were best friends." "Yes that's right", replied Meredith quietly, her blue eyes downcast. After a couple of moments of uncomfertable silence, Lupin forced a smile and said,"So Redi, you're the new DADA teacher! Are you going to be fulfilling your role as ...well you know?" Meredith said thoughtfully,"Well if I am accepted by him." "What is your role? Accepted by whom?", Fred blurted out. "By Harry", started Meredith," I'm his...his...godmother." All that followed was stunned silence.
So that ends chapter one-I don't like chapter two much because it is just one big explanation-so I will get to that chapter evetually. So hopefully you like it. *looks to Thorn silently daring her to laugh* and A/N I thought Redi was an approiate childhood nickname for Meredith so...more to come soon. (I promise the plot will thicken)
