Chapter 1 – Attack on the clueless.
Wendy Browne was a teenager nearing 16. She was a tall, slim girl with light brown hair and deep, blue eyes. As she walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water, She looked out the window and she could have sworn she something black move in the darkness of the night.
Her parents were away for the weekend in Glasgow and her sister was out with her boyfriend and wouldn't be returning until tomorrow afternoon. She was the only one in the house, but felt as though she was being watched.
It was the end of July and you could never tell that by the weather outside. Belfast rarely got sunshine, even in the summer. It was late at night and the rain was pouring down.
Wendy sat down and watched some television for about an hour. She was about to go to bed but it all went strangely quiet, even the usual noise of the cars going up and down the street outside had disappeared.
Then all of a sudden the door broke down with a deafening bang. Before her eyes she saw a slim figure standing ion the doorway. She didn't even tell if it was human or not. It had a face whiter than a skull, with wide, lived, scarlet eyes with slits for pupils like a cats. He pointed a thin strip of wood at her. Wendy tried to scream but she couldn't her throat was too dry. More people in dark cloaks were approaching the hallway behind him.
"Hello Miss Browne" hissed Voldemort in a cold voice that sent shivers up her spine. "Where are your grandmother and the rest of your family?"
"I don't k-know. W-who are y-you?" she asked terrified.
"HA!" he shrieked. "Who am I? I am lord Voldemort and you should c-"
But he was cut off as several loud cracks sounded and at least a dozen people appeared. Including Wendy's grandmother and started sending rays of coloured light across the room towards the door.
"Granny!" she exclaimed
"Stay back," she ordered
"How nice, defending your granddaughter. I could kill you all right now. But I have more important things to attend to."
There was another loud crack and an old man appeared wearing deep purple robes and half moon glasses.
"Now Tom, do you really expect us to think that you and your death eaters will attack us tonight? I suggest you and your death eaters leave now or I will have to resort to my wand," said Dumbledore pointing his wand threateningly at Voldemort.
Voldemort eyed Dumbledores wand suspiciously before stating, "don't worry you'll get yours soon Dumbledore when you least expect it."
Dumbledore inclined his head slightly before Voldemort departed. Wendy's grandmother walked over to the fallen door and muttered "reparo" and the door went back to its original state, leaving Wendy even more confused.
"Ahh Wendy, I expect you will you will be wanting an explanation of what happened tonight."
"Er-yeah"
"Well I'm afraid that I can only offer you a short explanation now. Until we get you to a safe location."
"Albus maybe I should be the one to tell her." Said Lillian her grandmother.
"Tell me what?"
"You're a witch." She stated clearly
"Me? I can't be a witch"
"Well you can and you are" she replied
"This isn't real this can't be happening it has to be a dream"
"Well whether you are dreaming or not we must really be going," said Dumbledore
"Wendy, go upstairs and pack you will be leaving for the rest of the summer." Wendy looked into her grandmothers' eyes and knew at once this was serious. She headed upstairs and packed.
She returned and Dumbledore gave her a piece of ageing paper and read it.
The entrance to the Order of the Phoenix can be found at number 12 Grimmauld Place
"What's this?"
"Not here" said Lillian, "memorize it"
She stared at it for a couple of seconds and then handed it back to Dumbledore who set fire to it with his wand.
Dumbledore took a velvet bag out of his pocket and gave a handful of powder to Wendy. Dumbledore motioned for Wendy and the others to follow him into the dining room.
"Throw the Floo powder into the fire, step into the flames and repeat the address from the piece of parchment."
Wendy did what she was told. She stepped into the fire after throwing in the powder and stated, "Number 12 Grimmauld Place"
She was gone in a rush of flames and found herself emerge in an old kitchen. Several loud cracks and the people who were in her house appeared beside her.
"Welcome to The Order of the Phoenix"
