Chapter 13, The Plans
A/N: Moi,Lolita-you were exceedingly rude, I'd appreciate that next time
you elaborate more on what exactly is "shitty" about my story. I'd also
like to know why you read the first five chapters before deciding that said
material was bad. Please refrain from cursing out my work in the future.
On with the story.
Dumbledore started his speech with the usual.
"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! I'd like to remind first years and a few older students as well that the Forest is forbidden, hence it's name." his eyes twinkling as his glance fell upon the famous trio. "Another announcement concerns Harry Potter. He has started a group called the DA. This offers defense beyond what we teach if you are interested, please contact him. He will tell you if he wants you to join and explain everything. The DA membership is up to him, if he believes you trustworthy, he will offer you a spot." he finished.
Albus Dumbledore sat down and suddenly the customary feast appeared. Everyone ate heartily until they were full to burst and but before prefects could lead their houses to the dormitories, Dumbledore got up again. "Before you go, I'd like Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Ginny Weasley to meet me in my office." he announced.
The four kids exchanged glances. They hoped that no more tragedy had struck their already depressed lives, especially Harry's. Unfortunately, the graveness in Dumbledore's voice had led them to assume the worst scenarios possible.
The four quickly left the Hall to meet their headmaster leaving Colin Creevey, the fifth year Gryffindor prefect and Brandy Calbury (his girlfriend) in charge. They came to the gargoyle where Albus was waiting for them.
"Hello future members." he greeted before saying the password (Acid Pops) and gesturing that they follow his swift progress up the winding staircase.
"Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, with some persuading from Remus, have decided that the four of you are all old enough and have witnessed enough to become members of the order." he told the kids heavily.
"You will be officially initiated next weekend." he added, smiling. He couldn't supress the grin as he looked at the kids stunned faces.
"Of course, that wasn't all I asked you up here for. You have your first recon mission with the Order as well. I want you all to help me rescue Sirius." he said heavily, not sure how they would take the bombshell that had just been dropped on the unsuspecting children.
"You found out where he is!!!???" Harry commented excitedly.
"We get to do something useful?" Ginny blurted out.
"Sirius is alive?!" Ron added to the mayhem.
"Really?" was all Hermione could manage.
"Yes, he is hidden in Malfoy Manor under the drawing room floor. Yes, you are doing something VERY useful. Yes, Sirius is alive. Yes, I am being truthful." Dumbledore answered their questions.
"Now, what we have to do is, tomorrow morning, at seven am, you come to my office and we will take a portkey directly into the secret passage. We will bring Fawkes so Sirius can be healed if he is in any way injured. Then, we take the same portkey back, plus one. You all, will of course be excused from lessons tomorrow. j
"Harry, you will be taking Potions, I convinced Professor Snape to take you because you will need that class. Understood?"
"Yes sir." Harry answered, taken aback at the sudden sterness of his headmaster's voice.
"Hermione and Ron are taking that class with you as well." he continued.
"Now, I suggest you all get to bed, we're going to be very busy tomorrow." he said and the four trudged off to the Gryffindor dormitories, suddenly exhausted.
A/N-Sorry it's short, the next chap. will be longer, the stealth mission. By the way, read my other story!!! Chap two will be posted by tonight! Ch 14 for this one will be posted either today or tomorrow. Bye, Paige
