Chapter 19- Meeting

(A/N: WOW! WOW! WOW! Okay, you're wondering what I'm freaking out about… look! Chapter 19! Do you all know what that means? This is my longest story so far! There was a time, when 'Everything To Fight For' was my longest story… and the chapters were only about 2-4 pages. Now, this is my longest because it's more than 17 chapters (everything to fight for's grand number) and as well, my chapters in this story are 4-6/7/8/9 pages… on the computer that is. And my font is small… yay! I'm going far! Well I must say, I really enjoy writing this story, it's the best! Now onto the chapter, I know… I've been rambling. It's something I like to do one in a while, you know? Like sort of- AH! There I go again… lets just stop this Author's note before I get carried away… hahaha… a/n means author's note. Hehehe… so funny… OKAY! I'm going, no need to push!)

For a while, Molly and Mrs. Spinnet cut the fighting out. After Alicia's outburst, they seemed to be very quiet when she was around. They all sat around the dinner table, eating very quietly.

"I'm leaving tomorrow." Mrs. Spinnet announced.

Molly spit out her carrot. "What a coincidence! Why, I am too!" She stated.

Fred and George both shoved mashed potatoes in their mouths to stop from laughing. They knew very well that their mother would have been long gone by now if it hadn't been for Mrs. Spinnet staying. She wanted to 'supervise' the situation, and had her mind set on not leaving until Mrs. Spinnet had. Even though she hadn't admitted it, the twins both knew how their stubborn mother's mind worked, even though half the time she couldn't tell either of them apart.

Alicia looked up from her plate and glanced over at Fred who was seated directly in front of her. She watched him snigger and almost choke on a fist-full of mashed potatoes. He swigged his full glass of water and she pushed hers over to him slowly. He gratefully took it and washed the rest of the potatoes down, smiling at her and winking.

Alicia giggled and looked at the empty water glass in front of her. "I'm going to bed…" She said slowly. She rose from the table and nodded at everyone walking into George's room and flopping down on his bed.

…………………………………

"Bye, dearest! Contact me for a conference!" Mrs. Spinnet said, shaking Alicia's hand and then checking her high-strung bun that sat atop her head.

"I will mother." Alicia said.

Mrs. Spinnet walked down the drive and down the street, with her bags in her hands.

"FINALLY! I can go home!" Sighed Molly. She hugged both Fred and George at the same time, and did her usual as she wished them a goodbye: shoved a pudgy finger into each of their chests and said, "Now you too be good, don't be up to any mischief!"

"There's not much mischief we can get to in a joke shop, mum." Fred mocked.

Molly rolled her eyes.

"Traveling by floo mum?" George asked.

Molly nodded.

George led her to the living room and gave her a fistful of floo powder.

"That's my boy." Molly said, patting her son on the back with her free hand. "Thank you Fred."

"It's George, mum." He sighed.

"Yes, yes." Molly said, waving it off. "Well visit soon, I'm sure Ginny and Ron miss you something terrible. As well as your father."

"Oh yes, mum." Fred said sarcastically. "Ginny and Ron must be dieing without us around."

Molly laughed. She threw the floo powder at her feet and a green flame surrounded her short and plump body. "The Burrow." She said loud and clear. There was a quick flash of green fire and Molly was gone.

The house was silent.

Fred stared at George.

George stared at Fred.

Alicia looked into the fire to be sure that no one else was coming.

There was a loud 'SLAP' as Fred and George clapped hands together and began to do a victory dance around the living room.

"Ding dong, the mother's gone!" They sang in chorus. (A/N: The witch is dead… Lalala, la!)

Alicia laughed and bit her lip, watching George and Fred joke around and do back flips around the living room out of sheer happiness.

"Nothing can ruin this!" George said happily, picking Alicia up with ease and twirling her around in his arms, kissing her lips softly and placing her down. He went behind her and wrapped his arms around her stomach from behind. She laughed and raised her hands, hugging his neck the best she could backwards, and then trailing her hands down his neck and chest, holding his arms around her.

Fred just continued to do cartwheels.

……………………………….

It was three in the morning, and three figures made their way silently into the shop through the open door that was carelessly left unlocked.

"Shh…" One of the figures whispered, unnecessarily to the others.

They crept up the stairs, as George slept with Alicia in his arms, and Fred slept in the other room, alone.

The figures looked into George's room, peering at them and then closing the door. They shook their heads and headed towards Fred's room. They peered in and nodded, one of the figures slipping into the room.

The other figure beckoned the third forward with a move of his finger, and they headed into the living room…

……………………………..

Fred opened his eyes, just to see darkness once again. What time was it? It couldn't be in the middle of the night… never before had he woken up in the middle of the night, unless someone else had done it for him.

He closed his eyes. Tonight, the air smelled like abundant flowers, and it was oddly… furry. His eyes snapped open again and he noticed something pressed against his body, making the bottom half of him restless.

He sat up extremely quickly and his room came into focus, light shining through the curtains. Sleeping soundly, close to him, was his beloved girlfriend, Angelina.

…………………………………

"Well that's not exactly what I dreamed about…" Alicia teased, pulling George in the living room by his bare sides as he followed her, now wearing cloud boxers. Her shirt was a Griffindor red, with the lion symbol over her left breast. It reached to just below her butt. She was wearing a pair of George's boxers, which she loved to borrow. She loved how he let her be herself and take her time with their relationship. They still hadn't… well, you know…

"Well then what was it?" Asked George, equally teasing, kissing her lips softly and then moving his tongue into her mouth.

She let out a small little moan and pulled him closer to her.

"Yes, Alicia, do tell us what it was all about." A voice came from across the room.

Alicia screamed and fell backwards on her butt, and George froze, his back as stiff as a board. They both looked over at the same time, and Fred came out of his bedroom at hearing the scream.

There on the couch, was a comfortable looking Lee Jordan, and a happy looking blond, known as Katie Bell. Along side of Fred, was Angelina Johnson. Angelina made her way over to Lee and Katie. Katie was sitting on Lee's lap looking quite giggly.

"What you dream about Leeshie?" She asked.

It took a while to sink in and then:

"Katie! Lee! Angelina! Oh my god, it's been so long!" Alicia said happily, flinging her arms around each of their necks.

George was still standing there as stiff as a board, his face reddening.

"Shy old George, see you haven't changed even though you're a businessman now!" Lee said happily.

George tried to laugh but all he got out was, 'heh', before his jaw hung loosely open.

Alicia walked over to George and hugged his arm, looking up at him. He snapped out of his trance and smiled down at Alicia.

Lee jumped up and swung Fred into a hug and then walked over to George and did the same. Katie kissed Fred and George's foreheads and Angelina kissed George's forehead as well, before swinging Fred into a kiss.

"I'm so happy to see you all!" Alicia said happily.

…………………………………..

A knock at the door woke George up with a start. He sighed and lifted his arm carefully off Alicia's body and walked down the stairs. He opened the door and his eyes closed as he tried to get his eyes suited to the bright light, shooting into them. Soon, he could see properly again, and a flashlight was lowered from shining in his eyes.

"Nice boxers." Moody growled.

"M-Mad-eye?" George asked between a yawn.

Moody examined his Quidditch boxers, with their flying players zooming on the fabric magically, with his good eye. His magical eye however landed on George and quivered from left to right very quickly.

"What brings you here, Mad-Eye? Filibuster fireworks? Dung bombs? Canary creams?" Asked George.

Moody growled and shifted his weight. "None of those childish things." He spat.

George scratched the back of his head and laughed. "Well come on, Mad-Eye!" He said, running his hand through his fiery red-hair.

"Mad-Eye? As in, Mad-Eye Moody?" Alicia asked sleepily, coming down the stairs and walking into the room. "I just woke up George… why are you down here? Oh! Hello, Mr. Moody, sir!" Alicia said quickly, noticing the man in front of her.

Moody leaned down to look her in the eye. "Who's this pretty little thing?"

George looked down at Alicia and smiled. He put his arm around her and answered, "This is Alicia, my girlfriend, Mad-Eye."

Mad-Eye straightened up and looked around the room again, growling under his breath. "Silly contraptions, waste of time…" He muttered. He limped over to a shelf and poked a fake wand. It quickly turned into a rubber chicken. "Stupid." He said finally.

George laughed again. "Well Mad-Eye… we aren't getting any younger you know…"

"Easy way to deal with that." Moody said.

George raised an eyebrow. "You amaze even me sometimes, Mad-Eye. Now, what's up?"

Moody stuck his grungy thumb up and pointed over his shoulder at Alicia. His bitten hand clenched and he smiled crookedly. "I don't know if I can tell the miss."

George sighed. "All right then Mad-Eye… have it your way."

Alicia looked up at George. What was up with all this secret business? He never had a problem with telling her anything before, besides the fact he liked her… but he ended up telling her in the end, didn't he?

Moody let out a coughing laugh. "Unless it wont bother you, I tell her. In fact, I need to tell Fred as well."

"You're becoming very strange right now, Mad-Eye." George said.

"There's something I need to talk to you about… about the Order." Moody answered.

George's face became very serious. Alicia watched his expression, trying to read it, but now there was no emotion. His eyes were focused on Moody's; his usual smile became straight, expressionless lips.

"What is it? What's wrong?" He asked.

'The order? What the hell is that?' Alicia wondered.

"I can tell you more at headquarters…" Moody said, trailing off.

George nodded. "Right."

"You have acceptance, however, which is something I can tell you now." Moody said, a smile spreading across his face.

George let a smile press on his lips for a quick moment, but then as quick as it came, it left. "Okay, so we're leaving now?"

"When you get Fred." Moody answered. "Now, go get him you git!" Moody joked, a large smile spreading across his scarred face.

George began to run upstairs, and then turned and said, "Hey, I may be a git, but you're an old git."

Moody laughed and his good eye winked, while his magical eye turned quickly around in his head. "By the way, better obtain better clothes while you're up there."

George stuck out his tongue. "You don't like my outfit?"

Moody laughed. "You don't want me to do any spells that can take away that outfit."

George ran the rest of the way up the stairs, extremely quickly.

Alicia sat down on the edge of the desk, looking around. She didn't want to make eye contact with Moody… she could feel his eyes on her. Well his one, eye. His magical one, she could hear moving around in his head with gentle squishing noises. Finally, she found that she couldn't look anywhere else, so she looked over at Moody. She had been correct; he stood there looking intently at her, his magical eye moving up through the top of his head.

"George will be downstairs soon. He's getting changed." Moody said.

Alicia nodded slowly. "How do you know that?"

"This eye see's more than just what yours can." Moody answered.

"You mean you can… see through things?" Asked Alicia.

He nodded.

"Amazing… like a secret device… good for you, when you used to be an Auror, I'm guessing." Alicia said.

"When I had the time to use it… didn't have it forever you know." He answered, hopping over to the same desk she was sitting on, and sitting beside her. He lifted his leg and took off his wooden leg, massaging the skin, where it had callus. Moody saw her watching him. He sighed and said, "Walking on wood leaves the leg pretty sore… rubs up against the peg a lot."

Alicia nodded. "Oh… Ow."

He nodded. "But not as bad as what this place is doing to the eyes… awful stuff in here. Horrible looking if you ask me… no sense to this profession."

Alicia laughed.

He smiled. "You thought I was a sore and nasty piece of work before." He answered. "What's a lot of people think. I'm not half bad. You remember that and you'll do fine here." He said, sticking the peg back onto his leg.

"What do you mean?" Alicia asked as he stood up.

"Well, the Weasley's don't look like it, but they are very mysterious people. Lots of stuff you don't know about yet… I have a feeling you'll know soon though. Just remember to try not to judge people till you know 'em… what's on the inside you know?" He growled. "Some of 'em can turn out to be one of your greatest friends, the others, an enemy… traitor… the person to set your own death."

Alicia stared hard at Moody.

"People think I over-react to things… think everything is out to get me. That isn't true… look at me. They only say that because I'm a bit different. Just cause I can't do as much as I could back when I still had my leg, doesn't mean that I don't know what I used to. If I lost my mind, I'd be in St. Mungo's now wouldn't I?" Moody asked, clapping his beaten hands together. "But enough of that… here come Fred and George now… along with three other people…"

"Oh, they are Lee, Katie and Angelina. They've been here for a week." Alicia said.

Moody nodded. "Can't bring all of 'em… only brought enough transportation for three. Me, George and Fred… you can squeeze on with George though. You're small enough. Know he wants to bring you." Moody said.

"All right then." George said. "I've got them."

"Someone needs to take care of the shop while you guys are away." Moody said.

George studied Moody's face. "Lee and Katie, can you?" He asked.

They both nodded.

"Angelina?" Asked George.

"Fine." Growled Moody. "Good enough."

George nodded. "Katie, Lee, you guys can get back to sleep. Go ahead and grab my bed if you want, instead of the couch."

"All right." Lee said, taking Katie's hand and bringing her upstairs.

Moody's magical eye followed them, and then his regular eye looked around at Fred and George.

"Hagrid got me our transportation." Moody said. "No worries though," He answered, examining their faces. "It'll be okay. They're fairly good this time."

"What's happening in the order?" Asked Fred.

"Thing's you'll need to pay attention to… no need explaining all your work here." Moody said.

"Work? You mean, we aren't going to be back at the shop for a while?" Asked Fred.

"Depending on how it goes… if it's all as planned and that." Moody said.

Fred nodded. He was wearing his black Wizarding cloak, as well as George. They looked like Hogwarts robes, except they weren't colour-coated as Griffindor. Their tie was striped in white and black.

Alicia looked at herself. She was wearing a black nightgown that reached somewhere between her knee and thigh, like all her bedtime shirts. It had a very low v-neck, and spaghetti straps, and the fabric was very soft and light. She had just bought it with her money her mother had left her. George really liked it on her, but she felt very strange seeing them in their robes and her in her nightgown. Angelina was wearing a gold nightgown as well, but her shoulder straps were like a t-shirts, and it stuck close to her body, a line drawn in gold ribbon beneath her breasts. It then flowed down to her knees, and a small gold ribbon lined the bottom as well. She smiled, knowing she wasn't the only one dressed for bed.

She steeped outside with them, the summer night air chilling her skin. She followed Moody who was leading them all in behind the shop, to one of the many hills behind it. He walked over to a hill and tapped it three times with his wand. It opened and they all walked into the hill.

"I didn't know this was here!" Fred exclaimed, looking around at the torch-lit room.

The floor was rock and the walls were just dirt from the hill, tiny roots sticking out everywhere. It was warm like there was a large fire in front of them, keeping them a comfortable temperature. In the corner of the large room, were three animals tied to a post. Three, beautiful Hippogriffs.
