Chapter 7
Lupin left Harrys' room and went to talk to Dumbledore. Mrs. Weasley and Dumbledore were waiting for him in the kitchen.
"What happened Remus?" Dumbledore asked.
"Harry was trying to get away when he ran into Bellatrix. From what I gathered they dueled for a while before Harry was able to get her wand. When I saw him Bellatrix was under the Cruciatus Curse." Lupin said.
"But Harry can't do that curse!" Mrs. Weasley shrieked. Dumbledore motioned for Lupin to continue.
"Before I could get over to him, Harry had killed Bellatrix. It looked as though he had used the Avada Kedavra Curse." Lupin finished.
"But those curses are illegal. Harry wouldn't use them." Mrs. Weasley said.
"Not on purpose he wouldn't." Dumbledore answered.
"How could he use them on accident. He knows the incantations. He wouldn't say them." Mrs. Weasley said trying to convince herself that Harry didn't use the curses.
"Did Harry have his wand?" Dumbledore asked Lupin his face grave.
"No." Lupin answered sadly.
"Only the most powerful wizards can do those curses without wands." Mrs. Weasley said. "What is going on?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
All of Mrs. Weasley's screaming had brought Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Luna down to the kitchen wondering what had happened.
"I'll explain everything tonight at an emergency meeting." Dumbledore answered. "I think it would be helpful to have Mr. and Miss Weasley, Miss Granger, Miss Lovegood and Mr. Longbottom there as well." Dumbledore said.
"Albus I don't think the children should be at the meeting." Mrs. Weasley said.
"Molly they need to know what's going on. It could effect them as well." Lupin said.
"Mum we want to know what's going on with Harry." Ginny said while her friends nodded their agreement.
"Fine." Mrs. Weasley said giving in. "Until the meeting I want all of you to stay in Ron's room." Mrs. Weasley told them.
"Why?" Ron asked.
"Because I said so." Mrs. Weasley replied looking as though she was going to explode.
Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Luna all headed back to Ron's room. They spent the day discussing what the Order meeting was going to be like.
It was seven o'clock and Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Luna were sitting in the meeting room waiting for everyone to arrive. Most of the members gave them quizzical looks but didn't say anything. When Tonks entered and saw them sitting in the back she went to join them.
"What are you doing here? And where's Harry?" Tonks asked as she sat down then looking at Neville and Luna asked. "Who are they?"
"One question at a time Tonks." Ron said amazed by how much women would say before hello. "This is Neville Longbottom," Ron said motioning toward Neville. "and this is Luna Lovegood." Ron said motioning toward Luna. "This is Tonks." Ron told Neville and Luna.
"Nice to meet you." Neville said politely.
"Harry's upstairs. From what we gathered this meeting is about him." Ginny said.
"We're here because Dumbledore wanted us to come." Hermione said answering the last of Tonks questions.
At that moment Kingsley came up to talk to Tonks. They moved to a secluded corner and left the friends to talk.
"I never knew there were so many teachers in the Order." Neville said sounding amazed.
"Yeah." Ron answered. "I wonder where are favorite one is?" Ron asked sarcastically.
As if on cue Snape entered the room. Neville shivered slightly. Snape immediately saw the five students sitting in the corner and said.
"What are they doing here?"
"They're here because I asked them to be here Severus." Dumbledore answered.
"Well then where's Potter? Surely he would want to be here." Snape said.
"This meeting is about Harry." Dumbledore said.
"Figures. Everything is about him. That's why Potters' head is so big." Snape said under his breath.
Since Snape was the last to arrive the meeting began. Dumbledore stood up and explained that it was alright Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Luna were there.
"Now to the more pressing matter." Dumbledore began. "Bellatrix Lestrange is dead."
"That's good isn't it?" An Order member asked.
"The fact that she is dead is good. It's the fact that Harry killed her that is the problem." Dumbledore said. Everyone except Lupin and Mrs. Weasley looked stunned. "Harry used both the Cruciatus Curse and the Avada Kedavra Curse on her."
"Since Potter has no regard for rules I don't know why you all find it so hard to believe that he used the Unforgivable Curses." Snape said.
"That will be enough Severus." Dumbledore said with a warning in his voice. "The bigger problem here is that Harry managed to produce those curses accidently and without a wand." Everyone in the room was shocked.
"When did Harry learn how to do wandless magic to that magnitude?" Tonks asked.
"I'm getting to that." Dumbledore said. "I think that it is time for everyone to know what the prophecy we protected last year said. I had wanted Harry to be here when I told you but perhaps it will be better this way. I will not repeat it to you in full as all that you need to know is that when the final battle is fought Harry is the only one that can kill Voldemort."
"Albus he's been through so much already. You can't make him do that." Mrs. Weasley said.
"I'm afraid that there is no other choice Molly. Harry has heard the entire prophecy so he already knows what he has to do. I believe the reason that Harry's able to do such complex spells without a wand has to do with the fact that he is a much more powerful wizard then most of you know. Harry can defeat Voldemort but not quiet yet." Dumbledore continued talking as Ginny snuck out of the room.
She quickly headed up to Harry's room. She entered without knocking and Harry said.
"Where are Ron, Hermione, Neville and Luna?"
"How do you do that?" Ginny asked. Harry shrugged. "They're still downstairs at the meeting. Dumbledore told us what happened today. He also told us about the prophecy." Ginny said.
"Everyone knows everything about me. I guess I should just get used to it." Harry sighed.
"Did you really use those curses without a wand?" Ginny asked.
"I guess." Harry answered. "I don't know how I did it though. I'm really tired can you please leave?" Harry asked.
"Sure." Ginny said smiling. This was the first conversation that hadn't ended by the room threatening to cave in.
Harry wasn't really tired but his scar had started to hurt. It was now throbbing so bad that Harry had bite down on a pillow to keep from making any noise. Harry then felt a wave a happiness wash over him that he knew was in no way connected to himself.
"Why's he so happy?" Harry wondered to himself.
Lupin left Harrys' room and went to talk to Dumbledore. Mrs. Weasley and Dumbledore were waiting for him in the kitchen.
"What happened Remus?" Dumbledore asked.
"Harry was trying to get away when he ran into Bellatrix. From what I gathered they dueled for a while before Harry was able to get her wand. When I saw him Bellatrix was under the Cruciatus Curse." Lupin said.
