It was midnight. All occupants of Privet Drive were asleep. That is to say, all but one. Harry Potter lay awake in his bed. He hadn't slept since Sirius Black, his godfather, was killed. There didn't seem any point in sleeping, any point in eating. There didn't seem to be reason in doing anything he normally did.

Something cold brushed past him. Hedwig was back and she had a letter. Harry unfolded it and read it,

"Harry,

Tonks and Lupin told me to tell you their coming for you soon with a portkey. Can't wait till you get here-no one can. Mad-Eye's started dusting stuff. Don't see why-you wouldn't mind anyway, would you?

-Ron"

Harry smiled slightly. Mad-Eye Moody dusting things created an interesting image in his head. But something else hit him-where were they taking him? Surely they wouldn't drag him to Grimmauld Place again?

No, thought Harry firmly, I won't let them take me back there. Too many memories of him, of Sirius………

Deep in thought, he didn't notice two sharp cracks announcing the arrival of a man with, despite his greying hair, a young face and a girl with long, green hair. This girl he'd seen with short violet hair the year before.

"You ready?" asked Tonks, trying to smile but failing miserably. Harry remembered that she was related to Sirius, too. Her mother had been his cousin. She was bound to be sad.

Harry shook his head. "Where are you taking me?"

"Someplace safe," Lupin replied, "No, not Grimmauld Place." He added hastily seeing the look on Harry's face.

Lupin reached into his pocket and withdrew a small golden ball. Harry looked at it again, and saw that it was a small, immobile, golden snitch. Harry sighed and tipped it with his forefinger. Tonks and Lupin did the same.

Harry felt that familiar tug and the ground falling from his feet. He felt like he was spinning around and quite quickly, it stopped. They were in an old country lane with very few streetlights and no houses whatsoever.

Lupin put the snitch back inside his pocket quickly and withdrew a put-outer and a piece of parchment.

"Read and memorise, just like last time." He whispered hurriedly to Harry while Tonks took the put-outer and turned off all of the street lights.

Harry looked at the parchment.

"The new headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix may be found at Phoenix Manor"

Lupin set fire to it quickly with his wand and let it crumble away.

"Think about the parchment." Lupin instructed.

Harry did so and as he thought, a large golden house appeared out of nowhere. It had a rich, red in colour roof and the windows looked like something out of a fairy story. The whole house could have been plucked from a fairy story, infact.

Harry, Tonks and Lupin sprinted up to the door. Lupin took his wand and tapped the door with it. The door flew open and the three hurried inside.

The inside was just as impressive as the outside with its golden walls and carpets of red. There were few portraits on the wall, but the portraits that were there were of noble witches and wizards whom Harry knew from the chocolate frog cards. There were chandeliers hanging from the ceiling but they were not normal ones. They were made of a red and gold substance and were shaped as a phoenix. If Harry hadn't known better, he might have suggested Fawks was flying around. There were suits of armour standing around every few feet and they were, also, gold with red feathers sticking out of the helmets. The ceiling itself was red.

"Harry!" came a breathless voice.

Harry looked up and saw a familiar person walking towards him. Her dark hair reached her elbows and her dark eyes were shining in a cautious way.

"Hi, Cho." Harry said, quite coldly, "Is this your house?"

Cho shook her head, "No. Professor Dumbledore wanted me here, too………Well………" she tilted her head awkwardly, "Can we talk later?"

"I suppose," Harry replied shortly.

Cho smiled and tossed her hair. She turned away and began to walk towards a set of spiralling gold plated stairs.

"You shouldn't have been so hard on her," Tonks told Harry, "I mean, all she's been talking about since she got here is-"

Lupin cleared his throat but his eyes were twinkling, "I think we'd better let Miss Chang tell Harry that for herself, don't you, Tonks?"

"Um………yeah, sorry………" Tonks murmured sheepishly.

"No………no, what was she talking about, Tonks?" asked Harry.

Tonks stuck her tongue out at Lupin, "She was saying how she wished you knew how sorry she was and-"

She was interrupted by a tall figure walking down the hall.

"Welcome," Dumbledore said to Harry, "To Phoenix Manor."
