Twin Power
Chapter 6: The News
It was signed LM, and they knew who's hand writing it belonged to. "I thought that he was dead Harry. He couldn't have survived the battle, he died. There is no way in hell that this is Lucious Malfoy, you saw him die, didn't you?" Ginny and Albus asked him at the same time.
"You know that they never found his body guys. It might have been possible that he has just been sitting back and getting his strength back. We need to call together a meeting of the order once more Albus. Do you think you can get a hold of them, and bring them here tonight?" It was more of a statement, than a question.
"Of course Harry, is there anyone else that you want at the meeting?"
"Yes, I want you to get a hold of Draco and Pansy, they should know what's going on. Also see if you can get a hold of as many of the .... No wait, I think that they still have the galleons that they got from the meeting to let them know that there is a meeting. I had them all keep them just in case something like this came up. I will have Hermione set it off for tonight. The ones that I want here, will still have them, and be here. We won't tell the students what is going on yet. I want to have everyone's idea on what to do. Albus you know what you are needed to do, so if you will excuse me, I need to go talk to Hermione." Harry left the office with Ginny.
Albus Dumbledore left to get a hold of the people that were requested. He knew that Harry was doing the right thing, and that the order might have lost some people do to time and fighting, but they were going to be growing by quite a few tonight.
Harry made an announcement to the whole school that day at lunch. "Attention everyone, the rest of today's classes are canceled, will the professors please meet me in my office after lunch. Now please everyone eat up, and you will have the rest of the day off, but I would prefer that you don't leave the castle grounds til further notice." Harry sat down and the tables were filled to overflowing with food. Harry didn't eat much that lunch, in fact he didn't think that he would be eating much for a while.
After lunch, Harry went to his office and waited for the rest of the staff. They started arriving shortly there after and Harry waited til they all arrived. "Thank you for all coming. I will now tell you why classes were canceled for the rest of the day. Lucious Malfoy is back, and he is coming after my family, and then probably after the castle." Harry looked over the faces of his friends and family, they were all nervous, and fidgety. "I want to know what is going on, and for you all to reassure the students that nothing is wrong at this time. Professor Weasley, Hermione, I want you to activate the DA and have them here tonight at 6. I have called a meeting of the order for tonight, and there is also two people that I have asked to be here tonight that have a piece of what is going on. I would ask if you all will be at the meeting tonight, so we can discuss what we're going to do about what's going on and what we can do about it. Thank you all, you are dismissed. Hermione, will you Ron and Ginny stay behind for a few minutes?"
"Harry, how do you know that it is Lucious?" Professor Snape asked when all the others were out of the room
Harry handed his old Potions master the letter that he got this morning. "This is how Severus, it came from him. That is his hand writing, wouldn't you agree?"
For once Severus Snape was speechless. He hadn't seen that handwriting in so long, he had thought that Malfoy was dead like the rest of them had. "Oh Harry, this convinces me. Is there anything that I can do to help at this time?"
Harry took a deep breath before answering him. "I don't know whether or not I want to ask you to do this or not Severus. Can you ask some of your old "friends" whether or not they know anything about Lucious's plans?"
"I will do all I can Headmaster, but they don't really trust me anymore. But I do have a few friends that will still talk to me."
"That's all I ask Severus, will you be able to get any information before tonight?"
"I will see what I can do. If there's nothing else, please excuse me, and I will try to find out information for you." With that Severus Snape left the office with a swish of his cloak.
"Ok you three know what I know so far. How many of the DA do you think still have there Galleons Hermione?"
"Well I keep in touch with around 10 of them, and they all do, there's the Creeveys, Padma and Pavarti Patil, Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan, Neville and Luna still have theres, and then theres your cousin Mark Evans, and C.........."
"Who was that last one Hermione? I didn't catch who you said."
"Cho Chang still has hers also. I know you two didn't get along to well in your last couple of years, but she was still a member."
"That's all right Hermione, I'm actually glad that she did, she was good at her stuff." Turning towards his other best friend and brother-in-law, "Ron did your brothers Fred and George keep a hold of theirs?" Harry was hoping that the twins did.
"As far as I know they did. If they did, they will be at the meeting tonight. I think all the clan will be there tonight." Ron smiled at the thought of the whole Weasley clan being there.
"Well almost everyone." Taking a deep breath, Harry turned towards Ginny. "I only want you there for the first few minutes while I discuss what's going on. After that you are to go to our quarters to rest. Your not going to get into this fight in your condition." Harry said this as if it wasn't a request, but a known fact.
Ginny looked at him with a scorned look, but knew that he only meant the best for her. "Ok Harry, I will do as you say. I won't like it, but I will. Is there anything that I can do from here?" Ginny asked this last part with a bit of hope in her eyes.
"Actually yes Gin, I want you to help organize the schools staff and eventually the students in the Castles defense. In fact you might want to stay for the whole meeting, it might help to get some good advice." Harry said with a grin as he looked over at his loving wife.
"Ok is there anything else that you can think of everyone? If not, you can go to your tasks. Hermione, please make sure that the DA can get here tonight please." Harry turned back to his desk looking at some paperwork saying good bye, and everyone took this as there clue to go to there tasks.
Ginny stayed with him the rest of the day before the meeting. She massaged Harry's shoulders and gave him a kiss. "Everything will be alright Harry."
Harry smiled up at her and said, "I know Gin, I'm just worried about you and the kids. I know that you can take care of yourselves, but I can't help but worry. Where are the younger kids?"
"There with your parents right now, I will send an owl to them to bring them along when they come to the meeting tonight."
"Thank you Ginny, I love you, you know that right?"
"Of course, and I love you to. Now let's not worry about it. We still have a couple of hours before the meeting, why don't we go down and get something to eat. You barely touched your lunch this afternoon." Ginny pulled him to his feet and dragged him off to the kitchens. They spent the rest of the day talking with some of the students, and gathering some of the older students from the current DA group. Letting them know what was going on, and to not let the other students panic. They had them helping Ginny with the castle defense. He knew that they were to be trusted, because he had trained them himself. Harry had kept one of his past times even tho he had become the Headmaster. Harry still taught the DA and they were kind of a junior order. He told them to be at the meeting tonight, and to be ready to help out.
Hermione reported to Harry later that all the DA members that she knew still had there coins, reported that they would be there tonight, and that they were still willing to help him out.
Harry smiled at this, and sat down to an early dinner with Ginny and his family when it happened. Something that hasn't happened in almost 13 years. Harry grabbed his for head, and let out a blood curdling scream as he got a mental image from someone. Harry was able to finally get him out of his head, but was a bit weak still. Everyone looked at him, and since most of the faculty knew what was happening and they were worried. Harry told them that he was alright, he was able to shut it out now, it only looked this bad this time, because he hadn't been hit by it in 13 years. He was alright now thank to Professor Snapes oculamancy lessons.
A/N: Ok everyone, I hope you like where I have begun to take this story. I must say it isn't where I had planned on taking it when I first started to write it, but it just came to me. Thank you everyone for you great reviews, and criticisms that I have received, how few they were. I have gotten a hold of some loyal readers that keep telling me that they love my stories that are coming from the Daddy Harry franchise. It all started there, and now this is actually the fourth story that has come from it, including Daddy Harry itself. Please if you want a backstory on the twins, and the rest, read Daddy Harry if you haven't read it yet. The order of the stories in the time line of the events are, 1: Final Battle: Harry vs. Voldemort. 2: Daddy Harry. 3. Christmas Harry, and 4. Twin Power. That is the order of the stories that happen in that order. Thank you again for your great reviews and comments. ----Donald
