"Why are all of you so silent?" April asked Ron, Harry and Ginny as they got out their Chocolate frog cards over the scrubbed table. Ginny looked at April and shrugged. She had no idea what had happened.

"Nothing" Harry muttered. "You mind if I swap for the bass player of the weird sisters?" He asked Ron, who passed over his card. April frowned, obviously not happy with the answer when Sirius came into the room.

"Order meeting tonight." Sirius said, "Fawkes has just sent a letter and you children cannot come." Sirius said to Harry, Ron and Ginny before they could say anything. Harry scowled and started picking up his cards.

"I'm going to talk to Hermione." He said. Ron gave him a warning look but Harry ignored it. He started up the stairs when he heard the now familiar piano playing again. Harry smirked slightly and walked past the room with immense difficulty. He ignored the picture of his parents as he still found it a bit of a shock to look at. He soon came to Hermione and Ginny's room and knocked on the door.

"Go away" Hermione said from inside. Harry didn't say anything and pushed the door open. Hermione was reading a book on her bed and looked up when Harry opened the door. "I said go away Harry." Hermione said.

"Why are you so annoyed at me?" Harry asked going to sit on Ginny's bed.

"I'm not annoyed." Hermione said, denying Harry's conviction.

"I know you are, you wouldn't have run off yesterday like you did." Harry said. Hermione looked at Harry quickly and sighed.

"Ok, I am annoyed and I know I shouldn't be annoyed." Hermione said.

"Why are you annoyed?" Harry asked Hermione frowning slightly.

"You and Jenny." Hermione said quietly.

"Me and Jenny?" Harry asked, "Why? Are you jealous?" Harry asked. Hermione bit her lip slightly and nodded.

"Yes." Hermione said quietly.

"But you said-"

"I know I said I was fine with it and I would be but just seeing you two kissing…it was a bit much, you know." Hermione said. Harry didn't know what to say. He didn't fully understand why Hermione was annoyed with him.

"So, you're annoyed with me because I kissed Jenny?" Harry asked. Hermione nodded. Harry looked at her confused.

"I'm really sorry Harry but it's just, I've already told you I love you and you know that but I'd rather you were with me then with Jenny."

"But you were fine a few days ago." Harry said uncertainly. Hermione sighed again and picked up her book.

"I know. Just leave me alone for a while." Hermione said sadly, "I just need some time to get over you. It'll be fine though." Hermione told Harry. Harry nodded and got up to go and didn't notice or hear Hermione mutter "I hope." Harry's next stop would have been Jenny's music room but Shoner appeared from nowhere.

"Harry Potter sir." He said.

"Shoner." Harry said.

"Is Harry, sir, pleased with Shoner's work?" Shoner asked, beaming.

"It's very good, Shoner. You've done very well."

"Kreacher does not help Shoner much but Shoner is working around him. I is pleased to see you again Harry sir. I have been hearing many things that is making me worried." Shoner said frowning.

"Like what?" Harry asked scowling.

"Things that Mr. Sirius and April, miss, say in their meetings."

"April and Sirius? Do you mean the order?" Harry asked. Shoner nodded. Harry grabbed the top of Shoner's thin arm and pulled him into a room that Harry had never seen before. The house seemed bigger the Harry thought, he was finding new rooms everywhere.

"What is Harry sir doing?" Shoner asked.

"I want you to tell me everything." Harry said.

"It is nothing much sir." Shoner said, "Just that he-who-must-not-be-named is more powerful. Mr. Dumbledore has been telling everyone you know all that you is needing to know." Shoner said. Harry looked at Shoner.

"What does that mean?" Harry asked. Shoner shrugged.

"I is not hearing much. I is being very busy with the house and trying to find pictures."

"Pictures of who?" Harry asked.

"Have you not noticed the memorial pictures on the wall. Shoner thought you might notice your parents, Harry sir." Shoner said miserably.

"I did notice them. Did you find it?"

"Yes sir. I have a hiding place for everything that did belong to your parents." Shoner said. "Not Even April knows"

"But don't you have to be given an order?"

"Miss. Lily was very kind sir and gave me a very short list of orders before she-" Shoner's lips trembled and his saucer like eyes filled with tears. "I is missing her sometimes sir."

"I miss them to Shoner." Harry said sadly. He never knew the house elf was so emotional. "Could you bring some of the stuff to me please. Before I go back to school." Shoner nodded his head eagerly and Harry gave him a smile before leaving the room with the house elf behind him.

"Will Harry Potter please excuse Shoner, I must go and clean Hedwig's cage." Shoner said. Harry turned to his house elf.

"Sure." He said with a slight smile. Shoner smiled and vanished. Harry heard Ginny shout with surprise and guessed that Shoner must have appeared again.

Sirius sat next to April and Lupin at dinner. There was another half an hour until the order meeting and the adults were starting to get suspicious with the teens that sat before them in total silence. Lupin glanced at Sirius, who looked at April. April was looking from Harry to Jenny to Hermione. Harry glanced at April and could almost see her mind working at trying to find out what the problem was.

"Mum!" Jenny snapped, "Will you stop staring at us?" Jenny said slightly annoyed. Everyone looked at Jenny.

"I'm not looking at you." April said. April stood up and got her wand out and pointed it at her plate. It appeared in the sink and started to wash itself. "I have to call in at the office before the meeting." April said. She picked up her cloak from the back of the kitchen door.

"How long will you be?" Sirius asked looking at April. Reaching for April's hand, April let him take it as she put on her robes over her clothes. Harry noticed Jenny's eyes narrow as their hands touched.

"Just a little while. I have to check in with Kingsley then I need to go and check the Minister of Magic is ok." April said with disdain. "There's been three attacks on him, I think. I lose track." April headed to the door when Sirius got up and followed her quickly. He closed the door and Lupin cleared his throat getting all attention on him.

"I know there's something between you all. I'm guessing Ginny and Ron have been quiet because of Percy but what about you other three?" Lupin asked.

"We're just upset about Percy's death." Hermione lied. Lupin didn't believe her.

"Jenny." Lupin said to her. Jenny shifted uncomfortably and looked at Harry then Hermione.

"Leave Jenny alone." April called from the hallway. "And Harry." Harry wondered how she heard that. They weren't even talking that loudly. Lupin rolled his eyes and pointed his wand at his plate and Sirius' plate and they appeared in the sink alongside April's dishes.

"I swear Auror was the worst thing that happened to her" Lupin muttered as he left the room as well. Ginny watched curiously and turned to Jenny.

"What was that about?" Ginny asked. Jenny shrugged and went back to her food. She finally got up and left quietly.

Christmas came quite quickly. Jenny and Harry had reached an unspoken agreement not to get too close to each other, they didn't really want Hermione to get stressed again. Christmas morning Harry woke up to someone shaking him awake. He put his hand to his forehead and groped around for his glasses. Someone sat on top of him and laughed. Harry opened his eyes and saw Jenny's blurry outline on top of him.

"Jenny." Harry said as she placed his glasses on his face.

"Hey." Jenny said grinning. "It's Christmas."

"Is it?" Harry glanced at the foot of Ron's bed where a pile of presents were against the end of the bed. Harry saw a mop of red hair poking out of the top of Ron's duvet. "What time is it?" Harry asked.

"Nearly six." Jenny said excitedly.

"What!" Harry exclaimed. Jenny put her hand over his mouth as Ron jerked slightly and muttered something before turning over and falling back into a deep sleep. "Why did you wake me up so early?" Harry asked slightly quieter. Jenny grinned and lay down next to him.

"I just wanted to say hi." She said. Harry looked at her curiously. He knew Jenny well enough now to know when she was lying or holding back.

"And-" Harry prompted. Jenny grinned and put her arms around Harry's neck.

"And I've come to collect my present." She said. Harry knew what she meant and put the duvet over her and pulled her closer. That Hermione like voice at the back of Harry's head reminded him that him and Jenny weren't even dating yet. He gently pressed his lips against her and he heard her laugh quietly as she pulled Harry's face closer and Harry let his lips dance over hers. She was so different to Cho. Harry had always felt slightly nervous when kissing Cho but when Harry kissed Jenny he felt nervous and excited.

"Thanks." Jenny whispered as she pulled away. Harry smiled and pulled her closer. She giggled quietly and turned letting Harry pull her closer to him. He closed his eyes and felt himself being pulled back into the clutches of sleep. Why had Jenny woken him up? He was pleased but he was also very tired.

A/N:-Sorry i aint updated in a while...I kinda forgot about this story...I'm REALLY sorry, i won't do it again, i promise. Anyway, two chapters this time becasuse chapter 26 (i think) will be a good one (I hope)

Lady of Masbolle: happy with the way thins are progressing between Harry and Jenny? I love their relationship (even though Jenny's an OC). And i think it's fun that there's this whole love...square thing going on

Mel: Yeah, you're not Jenny/Lily (whatever you want to call her), lol. But i just imagined that this was how Jenny might be. She has another reason for not liking Sirius as well but i'm not sure if i've mentioned it yet.....i'm not mentioning it now. Course Hermione's not ok with Harry and Jenny, she's still really jealous but trust me when i say that she's getting over him.

bloomzbaby: yep, sure will post more
