Tonks quickly jumped to her feet and pulled out her wand, slowly turning as she surveyed the neighborhood in front of her. "Harry, get up and keep an open eye."

The boy continued to look bewildered and stammered, "What's going on?"

"No time for explaining," hissed Tonks "Just get up and pull out your wand. Keep an open eye and a stunning spell on the tip of your tongue. Whatever you do, do not use it until I tell you." Tonks let her eyes roam the neighborhood looking for movement. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a movement but as she turned to look she noticed that person behind the movement had a golden glow. "Harry, to your right; Arabella Figg. The glint of gold you see is the coins; it's a way of protecting us when members are on alert. It's something Dumbledore recently added. Members give off a golden glow so others will recognize fellow Order members before one launches an offensive strike. I think this feature is mainly for Mad-Eye." As Arabella carefully walked up to the house Tonks bent over and filled the older woman in on the situation. "No current danger here. Just looks like an attack on location number 237, but I'm sure you've already been in contact with Dumbledore. Now we just have to wait for the Special Guards. Your best bet is to wait by the door and they'll let you in when they search the house."

Mrs. Figg nodded in understanding while Harry only became more confused. "Special Guard? Isn't that you? And where is location 237?"

"Harry, stop asking questions. The Special Guard will be here soon enough and will answer any questions for you." Tonks snapped. She again noticed a figure moving to the North that was glowing a golden tint. She whirled around to face the South and saw a similar glowing figure. "The Guard is here." Tonks announced. The figures walked towards the house and stopped at opposite ends of the property and shouted a spell and green streaks shot up out of both wands. The streaks met in a high arch above the house and spread out, surrounding the property in a green glow before fading. Tonks narrated, "The anti-apparation ward up." The figured stepped forward several feet before repeating a similar action, except this time the house was surrounded by a blue light. "Ward one is up." Tonks continued to narrate the actions of the two people. The two people again stepped forward several feet, sending up a stronger spell that engulfed the house in a purple glow. "Ward two is up." Tonks again announced as two figured ran over to the house.

"Tonks! Arabella! Harry! Everything alright?" George Weasley hollered as his twin hoisted him onto the roof with Tonks and Harry.

Harry's eyes popped out of his head. "You two are my Special Guard?"

"You better believe it!" smiled Fred.

Tonks glared at the boys, "You three can catch up later. You two need to get inside and secure the house and maybe let Arabella in because I need to be leaving."

With that the boys crawled into Harry's bedroom window and began securing the house. They made sure all of the windows were magically locked and were charmed so they wouldn't break. They also checked to make sure there weren't any uninvited guests and that the fireplace the Dursleys had bricked up was disconnected from the floo network. After checking the kitchen they let in Arabella who immediately started spreading out parchments and maps over the table. As they worked their way through the house they came upon the bedroom of the snoring Dudley. They snuck in, sealed his window and inspected his room without any complications. The second to last room belonged to Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, Fred and George slowly crept in and began to search the room. Vernon Dursley let out a loud snort in his sleep, startling Fred who dropped the window he was slowly lowering with a loud crash. Both of the Dursleys bolted awake from their sleep. Mr. Dursley roared, "What the hell do you think you are doing, foolish boy!" He grabbed for his glasses expecting to see his nephew in the room causing the ruckus but was instead surprised to find two redheaded young men pointing wands at him. He recognized these boys from past unpleasant experiences. "What are you two doing in my house?! In my room!" Vernon Dursley looked over to his wife who appeared very pale and frozen with fear. Their effect on his wife infuriated him even more. He stormed out of his bed in his flannel pajamas screaming, "What did you do to her? Curse her? Make her better this instant!"

The redhead on his left, which happened to be George, spoke up, "We did nothing to her. She is just a bit shocked it seems. Probably afraid your screaming will attract the neighbors."

The other boy, Fred, shook his head, "We're here to protect you and Harry, well, mainly Harry. So the last thing we would do is curse your wife."

"Although," George grinned a bit mischievously, " We have been given this sleeping drought." He flashed a vial of purple liquid, "We were told we may administer it if you and your family are uncooperative. A sleeping muggle is better than one that will go about screaming alerting his neighbors and any Death Eaters that may be around."

At the words Death Eater Petunia gasped and turned to her husband and whispered, "Vernon please let them be. If there is a chance of those Death Eaters coming here we need all the wizarding protection we can get."

Mr. Dursley stared at his wife. He didn't know what a Death Eater was and he defiantly didn't like the fact that his wife knew something about the freakish world of wizarding that he didn't. The Weasley twins exchanged looks of astonishment. Mrs. Dursley knew an awful lot about Death Eaters and their threat to their safety for being a muggle. Amidst the shock Fred spoke up, "We better go and get Harry off the roof. You may go back to sleep otherwise your neighbor Arabella Figg is setting up in the kitchen and I am sure she can fix you a cup of tea."

Fred and George left the still slightly shocked Mr. and Mrs. Dursley in their room and headed back to Harry's room after quickly checking the closet and under the bed for Death Eaters. Fred stuck his head out of the window and hollered, "Everything alright out here?"

Tonks replied, "All is fine. Can we come in yet?"

"Yes, send Harry in first then you follow!" Fred told the occupants of the roof.

Harry climbed through the window closely followed by Tonks. Fred ran forward to close and seal the window. Tonks grinned at the twins, "Those wards are awesome! I don't think Dumbledore could have done much better. He is definitely right that your humor makes your magic extremely powerful. As I was watching the lines I saw a squirrel try to cross the ward and pop! It turned into a snail. Bloody brilliant."

The Weasley twins led Harry and Tonks into the kitchen where Mrs. Figg was scurrying about making tea in the muggle fashion for the groggy Dursleys, who could only stare at the neighbor that they had once labeled eccentric but normal. Vernon Dursley grumbled, "What, am I the only normal person in this neighborhood?"

His grumbling was returned with a glare from Arabella Figg, "I was only placed in this neighborhood to keep an eye on Harry. Being that I am squib I draw very little attention to myself."

George and Tonks stood near the door urgently whispering. George then nodded to her and pointed his wand at the door saying several choice words to bring down the charms placed on the door to let Tonks out. Tonks sprinted through the wards into the middle of the street, where she disapperated with a soft pop. As soon as Tonks disappeared George shut and resealed the door. He then walked over to the table where he chose a map, pointed his wand at it and said projectiles. He then tapped a blank wall where a map of the Dursley's house and a blank area that covered a large radius around the Dursley's residence appeared. On the map were seven dots, six labeling the people present in the kitchen and one labeling the sleeping Dudley.

Harry looked over the map with an awed expression, "It's just like the Marauders Map… how did you guys manage this?"

"We didn't make it, Sirius and Lupin made it before… well, you know, and they named me and Fred the keepers of the map."

Fred continued for George, "We were also made the official crisis baby sisters of Harry Potter or, as the Order likes to call us, the Special Guard. Basically if Voldemort is up to something we have to make sure you don't get your arse into too much trouble."

Both Harry and Petunia looked up startled. "Voldemort? What is going on?" Harry began to look panicked.

Arabella put her hand on Harry's shoulder in a motherly way that Harry wasn't quite use to and said, "Harry, we don't think Voldemort is going to show up here, but the Death Eaters held in Azkaban have managed to escape"

"So that's what 237 is, Azkaban. If the Death Eaters are already gone, why does the Order need to be there?"

"Well that's the strange thing; Azkaban was pretty much deserted, except for quite a few corpses. It seems that Voldemort killed all of the prisoners who were soulless or refused to join him. The Dementors have disappeared as well."

Harry gasped and Petunia shuddered and spoke up, "You mean to tell me those wretched beings are floating around the country looking for little snacks?"

"Actually, no, we think that Voldemort has taken them to his hiding place and keeping them in his service. He will most likely keep them hidden until the battles begin. I don't expect they will be seen in the muggle world anytime soon. Voldemort would like to starve them before he lets them out into the wizarding world, or he will feed them his victims or his servants. He won't do anything that will draw attention to himself just yet."

Petunia sighed with relief, "Thank God. I only have seen one Dementor in my life. I was only a little girl then, but I don't want to ever see one of those dreadful creatures again." Petunia quickly stopped. She realized she had said too much.

The entire room stared at her and Harry whispered, "But only wizards can see Dementors."

The silence in the room was the interrupted by an urgent buzzing noise. Both Weasley twins turned to the map where several new dots had appeared.
