I had tons of questions for Dumbledore.For one, why me? I had never been spoken to directly by Dumbledore, and it was already my third year at Hogwarts. Who were the other members of the Order? I had only known of a few from eavesdropping on early morning conversations between Harry and Hermione. What did Dumbledore mean by "you may risk your life many times"?

Why do they need a kid helping them out, if The Order had some of the strongest wizards in the world, and was so large? I figured I'd find out a couple of them at the first meeting, and the others should get answered, but they bugged me, all that not knowing...

I walked slowly toward Herbology, thankful for an excuse to be out of it. I had never been fond of Herbology. I would much rather be in History of Magic. I had always liked it, and found Professor Binns quite interesting. I didn't see how it couldseem boring to anyone.

Of course, knowing me, I got lost. With all of those twists and turns, I don't see how Professor Snape didn't. Since no one else was around, (not even a ghost) I decided I ought to ask one of the paintings. I found a blonde haired girl, who appeared to be in a bad mood. She would't have been my first pick, but I didn't want to disturb any of the others by waking them. She was quite nice actually. She gave me directions, and offered to go through the castle with me (in the paintings) to make sure i got there o.k. I refused, and started on my way.

Her directions were right on, and i was glad I had scribbled them on a piece of parchment because i was likely to forget them later.

When I got back to Herbology, Professor Sprout was announcing homework. I was relieved, class was over. Lunch was next, that gave me time to ponder what had happened with Dumbledore.

Later that day, much to my surprise, Snape arrived at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall to get me. It was at dinner, around 5. He took me to the room in which I had stood about five hours earlier. I was begining to take out my key, when he spat in a hushed voice, -

"We're late already Maxey! Get yourself inside, the meeting should've already started"

-"Yes sir." I mumbled, and walked in. I went first, having no trouble at all pronouncing the phrase 'Number Twelve Grimmauld Place' written on the parchment.

When we arrived at our destination, we went straight into a large room with a circular table in the center. Everyone stared at me as I walked in the door. I blushed.

-"Ah!" Dumbledore began, "Our newest member has arrived"

-"Please sit down." said a rather plump woman that I recognized as Mrs. Weasley, motioning toward a chair next to a woman with brightly colored electric blue hair.

-"Wait a second" said a man i recognized as Professor Lupin. "wouldn't want to start without a formal introduction"

-"Oh, yes."began Mrs. Weasley, "Well, I am Mrs. Weasley, that is Mundungus Fletcher, that is Moody, that is--"

-"Not us Molly! We can do that later! I meant the girl!"

-"Well Then!" Mrs. Weasley said, exasperated. "Will you introduce yourself dear?" she asked me, in a more gentle tone.

-"Erm, yes. I am Jessica Maxey, a third year student at Hogwarts"

-"Hello Jessica, I'm Tonks!" said the pink haired woman next to me... Although I could've sworn it was blue a five minutes before...

and this is the part where you review ; )
