Chapter 21- The Mission For The Order
"Number twelve… what? There was no number twelve on this street…" Alicia said, looking up at the large and creepy old house, now looming over them.
George smiled and took her hand. "Don't worry, love. It was a spell to hide this place from muggles and wizards."
Alicia nodded slowly and allowed George to pull her through the door. It was much larger than it looked outside, with a grand old staircase and many old portraits.
"Ever manage to get the whole thing cleaned up, Mad-Eye?" Asked George.
Moody shook his head. "Nah… you can do that in your free time. Like usual." He growled.
George sighed. "Fine…" He murmured.
"Who's all here?" Asked Fred.
"Molly and Arthur… your mother and father, are on their way. Lupins in the kitchen, and Tonks and the rest of them are already out on a mission at the moment." Said Moody, limping over the hallway and into the kitchen.
Just then, a familiar face appeared. One with scratches across it and handsome blue eyes. His hair looked the same as they had seen him, when he was the last DADA teacher. He didn't look as tired as usual and his smile was wide, arms open to welcome them.
He clapped his hands together. "Welcome back, welcome back! Same rooms as usual, I trust you can find them." Lupin grinned and winked at all of them.
"Hey Lupin." George said happily. "How is summer treating you?"
"Awful… for some reason, people still hold the little werewolf thing against me… Can't find a job." Lupin answered.
"Well that's not fair!" Alicia protested. "They can't do that to you… can they?"
"Sadly, they can." Lupin answered, still smiling.
Angelina sighed. "So where are you going to work?"
Lupin just shrugged. "When I can find somewhere, I'll work there."
Fred laughed. "Well said, well said…"
Lupin gave him a wide grin. "Well then, rooms? I'll be in the kitchen… or wait, maybe we should have the meeting first, and it may take a while. Molly and Arthur are on their way, and Severus should be here by now."
George stopped. "Severus? As in, Snape?"
Lupin nodded. "I'm guessing Moody never told you that he'd be joining the meeting, did he?"
George shook his head. "No."
Lupin sighed. "Not much we can do about that… you're welcomed in the order, so might as well suck it up and be nice to all order members when they're here. Doesn't mean you have to like them, just don't go making trouble while your dealing with cases, lives are on the line and there is no time to joke around." He said, walking into the kitchen.
They all followed and sat down at the table.
"What you are seeing here, girls, can not be spoken of to absolutely anyone but members of the order." Moody growled.
Alicia and Angelina nodded.
"Harry is in more danger than he ever has been. We need you to head down to this site," Said Lupin, taking out a map, "and stop some of his death-eaters from reaching toward the north side."
"So where is this, exactly?" Asked George.
"Down by Nurrith Cove. You may run into Voldemort there, I want you to be very careful." Said Lupin, flinching when he said his name.
"WOW! Wait a second there, buddy…" Angelina began. "You expect us to meet up with death-eaters and he-who-must-not-be-named?" She asked.
"Well… yes?" Lupin said, looking up at her from the map. He intertwined his fingers and sat down, peering over at her with a smirk playing on his lips. "That's sort of what The Order is about."
Angelina looked over at Alicia who was desperately looking up at George, hoping it was a joke.
"You know you've been on a couple mission's before…" Lupin said, looking over at George and Fred. "You pretty much know what to do. You girls however, don't need to go if you don't want to. Missions for The Order are things that have to be taken seriously. We risk our lives for the sakes of others. It's a commitment. If it means sacrificing yourself to save even one person, then so be it. You can have the night to think about it. Fred, George? You'll leave tomorrow, before the sun peeks up over the mountains. Rest well."
"Thank you Lupin… this is an honour." George said, shaking his hand over the table.
"Yeah." Agreed Fred, doing the same.
Just then, the door burst open and Molly's plump and red face looked worriedly around, while Arthur followed close behind, looking at a rubber duck.
"What did we miss?" Asked Molly, sitting down.
"Everything." Lupin said airily. "Just, your sons agreed to the task, and it will be set up tomorrow. And no arguing Molly, you can no longer control them like you used to."
Molly's face brimmed with tears. "Say something, Arthur!" She pleaded to her husband.
Mr. Weasley looked at the rubber duck and then at his wife. He squeezed it and said, "I wonder how this works."
Molly made an exaggerated sigh and buried her face in her arms.
"Mr. Weasley sir… it's just a squeeze device. When you put pressure on it, the air moved through the tiny hole and makes a noise." Alicia said.
Arthur smiled at her. "Really? Fascinating! Um… who might you be?"
George stepped forward. "My girlfriend dad."
"Good choice, George!" Arthur said winking happily at her.
George beamed.
"Did you take muggle studies?" He asked.
Alicia shook her head. "I grew up in my parents home. My mom's a muggle, dad's a wizard. He gave up on magic though… a long time ago." She said.
Arthur nodded. "Very interesting… so you know a lot about the muggle world?"
"Plenty." Answered Alicia.
"Dad… she's probably tired. Let's go Alicia." George said, pulling her along.
"Bye Mr. Weasley!" Alicia said over her shoulder.
He waved.
George sighed when they got out of the kitchen and into the silence. "If I didn't take you away, dad would have kept you forever and talked to you about a whole lot of muggle things… we'd never get out of there."
Alicia giggled. "I like your dad a lot." She said.
"He's a bit easier to get along with, don't you think?" George asked smiling.
Alicia headed up the stairs with George.
"So… you know where you're going?" She asked.
George smiled. "I know this place back to front because of cleaning… me and Fred even found some secret rooms. Our room is just up farther, one of the highest in the whole house. A great view too from the little window we have up there." He answered.
Soon they came to the room, and George pulled Alicia into the room and closed the door behind them. He pulled her up close to him and placed his lips on hers, moving his hips slowly against hers.
She giggled inside his mouth and moved her tongue in and out of his mouth slowly. She pulled out of this kiss and moved her lips down his neck. George moved his hands down her bare shoulders and ran them over her back, over the smooth black fabric of her night-gown. Then he moved his hands back up to her shoulders and massaged them slightly, moving them up her neck and caressing her cheeks tenderly.
She laughed and kissed his lips, moving her hips closer to his body. He bent onto his knees so that he was more level with her and pulled her even closer.
"You're so tall…" She laughed, kissing him tenderly and then pulling him closer by his tie and pulled it off of his neck. She began to undo the buttons on his robes, when a small voice began giggling.
Alicia stopped and stared at George. "What was that?" She asked.
George shrugged. "I don't know…"
More giggling.
"Oh no…" George said slowly.
"What?" Asked Alicia.
"Oh yes!" Said the little voice.
George turned her around slowly. "Meet Sally… the fairy painting."
"Don't call me a painting!" She said, flipping her long blonde hair over her shoulders. She pushed the seaweed strap from her seashell bathing suit off her shoulder. "Change your mind about me, Georgie?"
"Disgusting… don't you have better things to do with your time than always bug me?" George asked.
The fairy giggled. "Did I ruin your chance to get lucky?" The fairy asked.
George shook his head. "What do you want?"
"Is this the girl you were talking about?" The fairy asked happily.
"Shut up…" George growled.
"What girl…? What did you say?" Alicia asked staring up at him with a smile.
George shrugged. "Must have been Fred." He said quickly, and then he turned to Sally. "Fly to another painting before I erase those pitiful excuses for wings."
"You'll want to erase other things too, George." The fairy said, pulling at her seashell top.
"How many times do I need to say this?" Grumbled George. "You're a painting!"
Sally shrugged and focused on Alicia. "Not nearly as pretty as he made you up to be, are you?" She asked pouting. "You'd be better off with me, Georgie."
"Shut the hell up, fairy." George snapped at her.
"Oh! With the language again! Well, I'll just tell this Alicia girl…" The fairy began.
"How did you know my name?" Alicia asked interested.
"Don't talk to her, love." George said. "She isn't worth it to speak to-…"
Alicia threw her hand over his mouth. She could reach because he was still on his knees.
"I'm telling you, he couldn't stop talking about you, and thinking about you… how annoying, I mean, your not even that great, are you? I'm better, no offence. Look at me, I have a SEASHELL bikini, for Merlin's sake!" The fairy mused.
George stood on his knees obediently, Alicia's hand still over his mouth lightly.
"You were really thinking about me like that?" Alicia asked turning to him. She took her hand off his mouth and moved up close to him again.
He nodded, his face almost level with hers, except a bit lower. "Maybe…" He said.
"Your so adorable." Alicia said, playing with his hair and running it through her fingers. She moved close to him and kissed his lips, deepening the kiss.
"HE-LL-O! Beautiful fairy over here! Stop snogging her, Georgie and come to me!" The fairy teased.
George shot her a look. "I'm going to paint over you one of these days." He said into Alicia's neck, as she was about half a head taller than him while he stood on his knees.
"Humph…" Sally growled, turning away and sitting in the farthest corner, ready to sleep.
"I'm tired…" Alicia mumbled.
George nodded. "All right." He said, picking her up in his arms and placing her onto his bed. He tucked her in and crawled in with her, wrapping his arms around her softly.
"I love you…" She whispered.
"I love you too." George said.
She couldn't hear him, because she was already asleep.
…………………………………
"WAKE UP!" Lupin yelled up the stairs. "Time to go!"
George opened his eyes and crawled out of the bed, along with Alicia. George threw a pillow up to Fred and Angelina, and they both sat up immediately.
"Whatwaszat?" Fred said quickly.
"Time to go." George said shrugging.
Fred fell back into his pillow, but Angelina took the collar of his shirt and pulled him up.
"You going, Alicia?" George asked her.
She nodded. "I want to be with you… I want to do this too."
"Okay… but you have to be really careful, I promise you I will always protect you. Okay?" He said softly.
She nodded. "I'll help the best I can."
George nodded. "Good. Angelina, you coming too?" He asked.
Angelina nodded. "Oh yeah! I wouldn't miss this!"
George laughed. "All right… then we all better head downstairs. We'll be going to the old barn and Apparating. We cant let the death-eaters head north, or get what their after down in Nurrith Cove." He said.
The three nodded and all four of them headed downstairs after getting dressed.
"Ready?" Lupin asked.
Molly ran into the room, eyes bloodshot, hair messed. She wrapped her arms around Fred and George. "Don't you two get into any trouble…" She scolded, hiccupping.
The twins smiled. That was what Molly always said before they went anywhere, it was like a safety net to them. If their mom said that, then they wouldn't feel guilty about leaving her.
"All right mum, we'll try." George said.
Molly frowned. "You better try harder than you did at Hogwarts, you hear? You come back in one piece!"
"And she's literal." Arthur said coming in and eating a piece of toast. "We don't want to send you to the grave when all we have of you is a single hair."
"Oh Arthur! That isn't funny!" Molly scolded, running to her husband and hugging him, beginning to cry.
"I wasn't joking, Molly dear. Just telling them to have caution." Arthur said. He shrugged at his sons and they both smiled.
George took Alicia's hand and Fred linked arms with Angelina. All four of them headed out of Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, and it disappeared behind them. They walked down the street and headed toward the old barn on the corner.
…………………………………
After Apparating, the four arrived at Nurrith Cove; they began looking for a crystal orb that Lupin had told them about before departing.
"Um… he said it was tiny, no bigger than a thumb nail." Fred said.
"How the hell are we supposed to find a small pale orb no bigger than a freaking thumb nail, in the middle of a rocky mountainside with old war camps and rubbish all around? This is impossible!" George said angrily, throwing up his arms.
Alicia rubbed his back. "Hunny, calm down, we'll find it, okay?"
George rubbed his temples. "Your right, I'm sorry, love." He said, holding her close. "So what's it supposed to do anyways?"
Fred shrugged. "We're not exactly sure… its just that Voldemort is supposed to be looking frantically for it, so we have to find it first before we figure out what it really does."
Alicia trembled in George's arms when Fred said Voldemort. George kissed the top of her head and let her go, whipping out his wand and putting on a serious face.
"All right… most likely we're way outnumbered by death-eaters around here. If you find the orb, just tuck it in your pocket and leave. You can get someone else who doesn't have the orb to come notify us, just get it out as fast as you can." George ordered.
"So in other words…" Began Fred.
"Yeah. We're splitting up." George said.
Angelina shivered. "W-what? Shouldn't we at least go in pairs… you know, four eyes are better than two."
George nodded. "All right, it was just going to be us anyways, might as well have another pair of eyes with us, right? Besides, I can't leave you, Alicia."
"You know, I'm strong enough to take care of myself, George Weasley." She said pouting, putting on her stubborn look the way she did when people thought she was too small to be able to do anything without getting hurt. It reminded George of the time on the train, when he offered to put up her bags.
"I know, love. Its just that, if your circled in death-eaters, it will be a bit hard to get out of, although not impossible…" George said.
"Yeah, considering Harry was able to do it miraculously." Said Fred.
"And if you're surrounded by death-eaters," Alicia began, "I can help you." She said with a smirk, crossing her arms.
"Of course, love." George said.
"Well no more of all this." Fred said. "It's time for a proper search party, wouldn't you say?"
George smiled. "Okay… we'll go north. You go south. If they manage to slip past you, it'll be our job to catch them."
"They're probably scattered everywhere by now." Fred said.
George nodded. "Right. Then, just search, dear brother, search."
Fred winked. "I'll find it before you can."
"Oh yeah? We will see about that, wont we?" Asked George, grinning.
"On your mark," Said Fred.
"Get set." Said George.
"Go!" They said in unison.
Before Alicia knew what was happening, George was dragging her by the arm northwards, to search for the crystal orb.
