Authors Note: Whether I get reviews or not, you guys know I'll update but please review! It makes me happy and it makes me want to type longer and faster. your decision really. Also, I figure that Sir Cadogan is stupid so he reuses passwords.

Dumbledore part three
Lily and James were almost at the Fat Lady when Lily changed directions and headed to the fourth floor. She stopped at the picture of the mad knight named Sir Cadogan.
"Ah Ha! Fair lady! You boy, scally wag! I'll duel you for her!"
Lily rolled her eyes and said "Scurvy Cur." Sir Cadogan reluctantly opened up. Lily climbed in first and James clambered in behind her. When James was about halfway through, Sir Cadogan decided to close and hit James hard on the rear.
James stood up rubbing his back side. "Want to rub it?" He asked Lily playfully. She ignored him and started pacing.
"Voldemort must be getting really strong if Dumbledore is enlisting the help of seventh years. Think about it, we aren't even that powerful! And he has aurors like Moody and the entire Ministry behind him!" Lily was thinking out loud.
"That's true, but he'll need more help than a bunch of old men." Lily jumped. She had forgot that James was there.
"Well we were right about one thing." Lily said with a half smile.
"What's that?" James asked.
"The thestrals were gone on important business for Dumbledore about Voldemort."
James cracked a grin. "You're right. Now that you've finished ranting, lets go find our friends. We need to convince them to join the Order."
Lily and James left their private common room, to the dismay of Sir Cadogan. They walked to the portrait of the Fat Lady and muttered the password. She swung open and the head boy and girl clambered through the portrait hole.
Sirius and Remus were playing wizards chess with Amanda and Selina as their own private cheering sections. Marissa and Peter were nowhere to be seen.
It was Sirius' turn. James plopped down next to him. Without looking up, Sirius muttered, "Don't talk to me, I need to concentrate." Although Sirius wasn't looking up, everyone else was looking at James and Lily with concern.
"What's wrong Lils?" Selina asked quietly. Sirius looked up and was surprised to see a somber look on James' face.
Lily shook her head. "We need to talk to all of you. In private. Now. We could go to our common room, although our portrait is a bit crazy."
Lily stood up with James in her wake. Their friends got up and followed. They exited the portrait hall and trudged back to the Head boy and Girl common room.
"Aha fine lass! You're back. I knew that you couldn't resist me. And brought other lovely maidens as well. Not to worry, there is plenty of Sir Cadogan to go around-"
He was cut off by James irritably saying the password. "Scurvy Cur!" Sir Cadogan reluctantly swung forward and Lily let the boys go first so they could avoid getting hit on the behind.
Once everyone was inside and Lily was certain the portrait was firmly shut, she burst into explanation telling everyone about the Order of the Phoenix.
Once she was finished, James said, "Dumbledore asked us to ask you to join. He said that we are all powerful witches and wizards and that we would really be helpful. What do you guys say?"
Sirius didn't give it a second thought. "I'll do it. Anything to stop the murdering of innocent people." It was evident why he and James were best friends.
Amanda agreed almost immediately as well. "Of course I'll do it. My family will probably disown me, but it's worth it. They support Voldemort but I don't."
Sirius let out a sound of indignation. "Welcome to my world."
Remus was a bit skeptical. He gave James a wary look. "Are you sure that Dumbledore wanted me? I mean, someone like me? With my condition?"
Selina put her hand on Remus's shoulder. "It shouldn't matter. Of course he wants you," she said soothingly.
Lily nodded fervently. "So you'll do it? And you Selina?"
"Of course I will. I'll do anything I can to help," confirmed Selina.
"Moony?" James pressed. "Are you in?"
Remus gulped uncertainly. "Well, I'm against the Dark Arts, obviously, but I think that you should double check with Dumbledore. I mean, does he really want me? I could really hurt someone."
"Yea, Voldemort and his followers. Come on Moony, please?" Sirius wheedled.
Remus nodded. "Ok, I'm in."
Sirius and James let out a cry of triumph and then jumped on Remus. The three boys started to wrestle. They were all in a heap on the floor when Lily stood up. She pointed her wand at the pile of limbs and shouted, "Petrificus Totalus!" All three boys froze immediately.
"Wow Lily," Selina breathed. "That has to have a lot of magic behind it. Usually you can only use that on one person at a time."
"I know. Or maybe it was just annoyance. Anyway, we need to discuss something less serious." She waved her wand and muttered the counter curse. The boys got up groaning and retreated to their respective girlfriends.
Sirius was rubbing his head. "What do you mean? Something less Sirius. I like talking about myself."
Lily laughed. "Not you. We need to talk about what we are going to do for Christmas. Are we going to stay here or go to someone's house or just al go back to our houses and not see or talk for two weeks."
"Definitely not the latter. I couldn't go two weeks without talking to you." James whispered in Lily's ear.
"Then come up with a plan!"
Sirius spoke for himself and Amanda. "Well going to both of our houses is out of the question. No offense Lily, but our parents hate muggle borns."
"None taken. My house is out too. My Mum and Dad are muggles. And my older sister is crazy. She refuses to talk to me when I'm there and she makes snotty comments about 'our kind'. Besides, she's dating this walrus that is the same way, so it wouldn't be that fun." Lily explained.
"My family lives in Greece and they don't know English that well. If we're desperate we could go there, but someone else's house would probably be better." Selina said.
"Ok, so that leaves your house, James or yours, Remus." Lily said to the boys.
Remus looked around the room. "I would love to have you guys come to my house for Christmas, but my house is pretty small."
Everyone looked expectantly at James. He sighed. "Fine. I suppose we can all hang out at my house. I mean, I only have 13 extra bedrooms, a Quidditch pitch in the backyard and enough food to last a few years, but I suppose we can manage, right?"
Everyone started laughing. "I suppose we can manage, said Lily. "So we're going to James house for Christmas."
