Chapter 14, Stealth Mission
The next morning Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione were up at five thirty. The four dressed quickly in muggle clothes as they were easier to move about in than their robes. They rushed down to breakfast but were so nervous and excited that they could hardly eat. By six thirty they had all managed to eat and keep down a slice of toast a piece. Hermione checked her watch and, upon noticing the time, suggested that they get moving.
The foursome dashed out of the Hall and arrived outside Dumbledore's office. They knocked and immediately gained entry.
"I thought you lot might be early." Dumbledore remarked. "There has been a slight change of plans. We're going to take Fawkes instead. He can disappear and reappear at will and he can achieve this with up to five thousand pounds weighing him down. We should be no problem. He disappears by bursting into flame, but, like floo powder, the flames won't hurt you. We all must grasp hold of each other's hands and I will hold Fawkes' tail. When I give the word, we'll take off." he hastily explained, preferring to get this done as quickly as possible.
The unusual party joined hands, the kids still looking very confused, and they disappeared in a puff of flames and smoke. They landed quite heavily in the Malfoys' secret chamber. Unfortunately for them, they weren't the only ones there. Next to an unconscious Sirius Black was a very conscious Lucius Malfoy. He had his wand raised and looked ready to kill, his eyes had a spooky red tint and his smile was way too much like Snape's when he took two hundred points from Gryffindor, but much, much worse.
"Hello Potter, Dumbledore, Mudblood, and Weasleys." he said sneering at the sight of the party's stunned faces. Except Dumbledore's of course, he had been expecting this. Albus already had his wand at the ready and standing in a dueler's stance.
"Hello Lucius." he responded coldly, no twinkling in his eyes right now. "Wands out." he instructed his students. They obediently unsheathed their wands from their jeans pockets and stood at the ready. Being kids, they naturally didn't wait for further insruction. They all shouted spells simultaneously.
"Expelliarmus!" Harry shouted without pausing to think.
"Locomotor Mortis!" Ron shouted.
"Stupefy!" Ginny yelled.
"Petrificus Totalus!" Hermione said.
The effects were catastrophic. Lucius was thrown backward and landed stiff as a board, wandless, and dazed looking.
"You all shouldn't have done that." Dumbledore reprimanded, unfortunately he couldn't hold back his smile.
"We'd better wake my godfather up." Harry remarked.
Dumbledore swiftly strode over to the stunned body and woke him with Ennerverate! Sirius stirred slowly and once he realized where he was, he panicked. He had assumed Lucius was going to torture him more. Then he saw Dumbledore and calmed down immensely.
"Dumbledore!" he gasped. "Lucius, he abducted me. I-Harry brought me back to life somehow on his birthday. I woke up outside the Ministry Building and Lucius caught sight of me. He knocked me out and brought me here. He questions me daily and twice a day I go through the Cruciatus Curse. He told me that he'd force me to kill myself when he was done with me." Sirius mumbled quickly, plainly scared out of his mind.
"It's okay Sirius, we've come to take you to Hogwarts." Harry spoke up.
"H-Harry? Is it really you? I thought I'd never see you again. Thank you for rescuing me from the inevitable. But how?" he added weakly, almost as an afterthought.
"Later, for now we have to get you out of here." Hermione chimed in.
For the first time Sirius looked around and noticed the Weasleys and Hermione. He smiled weakly and he gingerly got to his feet. He had clearly been tortured intensely due to the way he clutched his back and winced as he walked.
The five rescuers reformed their line with Fawkes and Harry beckoned Sirius to hold his hand. Soon they were off and landed back in Dumbledore's office swiftly.
"So how did you do it? How am I alive?" Sirius asked, dreadfully curious.
"I have powers, in my eyes that my mum and dad had. I can heal, transfigure, bring back the dead, and change the weather to match my mood." Harry explained. "I found out this summer when I told Dumbledore about my gift. He recognized it immediately and had me come to Hogwarts early so I could harness my gifts." he finished.
Then all six of them collapsed into chairs and fell asleep. They napped for about an hour when Harry woke up from a dream. "Oh yeah, I also have visions." Harry added to Sirius.
Harry's Dream
Harry was suddenly at the Riddles' again. He looked around and discovered that it was a Death Eaters meeting. Voldemort was explaining about a surprise attack. He was planning on attacking Hogwarts on Halloween. He planned to attack the Ministry on November seventh. Then Voldemort put one of his DEs through a Cruciatus Curse and Harry felt it. He woke up screaming.
Harry's Dream's Over
Harry abruptly woke up and warned Dumbledore. Then he called an urgent DA meeting with his galleon. Dumbledore called an urgent OotP meeting at the same time. Dumbledore had decided to use Harry's method with bronze knuts. The two groups both met in the Room of Requirement five minutes later.
Harry explained his dream and then let Dumbledore take over.
"I have decided to let all DA members also join OotP providing Harry says you are skilled enough and emotionally capable enough to join. He knows you better than I and you must listen to him." Dumbledore announced to the DA. Then he addressed the OotP.
"Many kids will be joining. It is best to have people from all walks of life, even childhood, in our ranks. Some of you may object, but trust me. I know Harry, Ron, and Hermione will make wise decisions. Now, all OotP members to my office, all DA members stay here. Harry will work with you."
"Okay, today we will work on the full body bind and some muggle skills." Harry announced. He demonstrated the spell then proceeded to walk around with Hermione and Ron correcting the members. After half an hour, everyone had Petrificus Totalus down pat and Harry showed them some martial arts moves so they could dodge curses.
This took much longer as they weren't used to the physical activity, at least witch/wizard borns weren't. They spent an hour on this and then Harry called everyone to a halt.
"Now I will announce who will join the Order. First, the Order is a secret organization that is designed to fight Voldemort. Anyone who isn't interested, Hermione will put a memory charm on you and you may leave.
