After a month of summer at the Dursley's, Harry had rejoined his friends at
12 Grimmauld Place. It was the summer before their 6th year and things had
changed. Now that the Ministery accepted that Voldemort is back Mr. Fudge
and many other officials were in and out of the house constantly. However
the most significant change was not in the visitors but the house it's
self. Constantly eloped in an eerie quiet. Since the end of last school
year Kreacher had past away and also, since Sirius's death it seemed Mrs.
Black had lost her fighting spirit. She now stayed quiet behind her curtain
and could only be hear muttering quietly...." Filthy mudbloods.....served him
right.....blood traitors...."
The house, now close to completely livable, was quiet as ever that night. In the living room Ron, Harry, Hermione and Ginny were sitting and talking quietly. Hermione with a book open on her lap, Ginny rolling a butterbeer cork across the floor for Crookshanks and Ron and Harry hunched over a wizard's chess board.
There was a light rainstorm out side. With the moon covered with clouds there wasn't a stitch of light to see through the window with. The house was so quiet that when the knock came everyone jumped. The chessboard that was balanced of Ron's long legs went flying. Pieces scattered across the room and Crookshanks chased after them madly.
Mrs. Weasley rushed to the door and opened it without thinking. Standing before her was a tall pale skinned man with hair so dark in blended seamlessly into the night sky.
"who....?" The words started to form on her lips but she stopped. A sudden realization spread across her face and she went white. She opened her mouth to scream. Quickly the man stepped forward and pressed a long graceful finger to Mrs. Weasley's lips. "Hush Molly, I'm here to help." He dropped his hand and stepped back and his expression darkened. "Or did you think I learned nothing last time?"
Mrs. Weasley's face regained it's color. She gulped and nodded. Then turned to the four teens who were watching from the living room door.
"Ginny, go fetch you father, Remus and Mad-eye." Ginny's bright red head nodded quickly and she raced up the stairs to the Order's meeting room. Molly turned to the man. "well come in then all of you"
The tall man walked into the house calmly. Then four hooded figures followed. One was much taller than the rest. Near the same height as Ever- growing Ron. As they stepped into the thresh-hold the light washed over their faces. The tall one was male and the other three female, each's skin as paler as the man's.
Soon Lupin, Mad-eye, Mr. Weasley came down the stairs. Upon seeing the man Lupin spoke up,
"Holy Hippogriffs, Daniel is that you?" The man gave a small nod and allowed a tiny grin to grace this elegant goateed chin.
"I've come to help set somethings right Remus. I thought you lot might be able to help me with that...." Mr. Weasley glanced wearily and Ron, Harry, Hermione and Ginny who had just re-joined the group.
"Urmmmm... perhaps we should take this to another room gentlemen." He said nodding his head to the children as Ron moaned in disappointment and Ginny rolled her eyes. As the adults started to leave the man, Daniel, turned and spoke to the hooded teens. Whatever he said it was defiantly not in English, at first it had sounded Asian but as he finished sounded more European. Harry glanced at Hermione who shrugged slightly. Daniel then sweeped out of the room leaving Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Ron alone with the four hooded kids.
