This chapter is the longest one I have written I must have hit a transition point in my writing because I am beginning to get into the groove of my characters. I hope you enjoy my story and keep reviewing because it means a bunch to me.

Ok as usual I do not own the rights or privileges of these characters I am only using them for a time. I also own know rights to the middle names I have given my characters two of them belong to Tamara Pierce.

Campaigning Time

When they arrived back at the Burrow, it was full of action. The quad piled out of the car and said goodbye to Mrs. Granger she had said she would prefer not to go in. She did not want to intrude on whatever was going on.

To the group's surprise, Hermione had not put up an argument she simply said, "Have a safe trip home mum."

"Yes-yes of course honey. You and Harry expect an owl telling you when I will be hear to pick you up next week."

The kids watched as she drove of sight.

"Why didn't you let us persuade us to let her stay Mione?" they all asked.

"Well guys, my mum is fine with me and you being wizards but she gets a tad nervous when she is surrounded by a large number of people who can do magic. That is why I tend to go to Diagon Alley by myself. Ok, now that you have stood around out here talking in the hot summer sun for 5 minutes, could we go in to the house these cloak's aren't air-conditioned you know."

Harry turned around startled he had been able to forget he had a guard. The danger he was in crashed back with a defining roar. For a brief few hours he was not the boy who lived he was just Harry.

"Sure," he muttered and started towards the house.

They entered to find it bursting with energy. Harry wondered what had happened to cause such frenzy. He grabbed the first person he saw and asked.

"What's going on was there an attack?"

"Oh nothing like that," replied the person.

"Well then, what is it?" asked Harry

"Fudge has resigned from office. There is a huge meeting at headquarters to decide who we are going to put up for office."

The person squirmed up the stairs to finish whatever he had been doing.

"Harry?" the others asked and he could hear the concern in their voices.

They were worried about how he would feel about being in Sirius' house again. He was grateful for their concern, but was ready to return to his godfather's house.

Harry gave a small smile to his friends and said, "Let's go find Mrs. Weasley. I would like to go see if they will let us."

"Well I propose that we look in the kitchen. I bet she is in there preparing for the flurry of flooing that is about to take place."

Sure enough, Mrs. Weasley was in the kitchen handing out powder to the order members. She looked at Harry and the others, "Yes Harry, you all may go, after all this is a decision that will affect your future as well. You and Hermione are to become full fledged members tonight."

He could see the protest fixing to spring to Ron's and sweet Ginny's lips.

Apparently so did Mrs. Weasley, "Ron, Ginny though I do not for you two to belong while you're still in school, your father and Professor Dumbledore feel that it's useless to not allow you both to become members on account that Hermione and Harry will tell you everything. Therefore, I have finally given in and have given my permission you both will be joining the order tonight. Now you have 5 minutes to get ready, run upstairs and put your purchases away."

The group did as they were told and were back in the kitchen a mere two minutes later.

"Before you step in to the fire you have to say the password then throw the powder in and say headquarters," Mrs. Weasley explained to the group. "The password is trizzlers. Now Remus and Arthur are going to go first and show you how it's done."

After the two adults went through the four teens followed. Harry stepped out of the fire he immediately was thrown back to the previous Christmas. He could see Sirius going up the stairs singing 'God Rest Ye Merry Hippogriff's.' He felt tears trickling down his cheeks and arms around him hands patting him on his back. He pushed himself out of the haze that had clouded his vision to see Hermione and Ginny hugging him with tears pouring down their cheeks as well. Obviously being here affected both of them as well. The hands on his back were from Ron and Remus. Remus silently handed him a handkerchief. He wiped his face. Harry then gently tipped Ginny's face towards his and wiped the tear streaks from her cheeks.

"Thanks Harry."

Ginny murmured she was aware that the whole room was watching them.

"Don't you think its Mione's turn now?" she said with a small grin.

"Oh yeah," he quickly leaned down and wiped the tears from his cousin's face. He looked at Ron hoping that he had not seen how tender he was being towards his baby sister.

His best mate however was not looking at either him or Ginny. He was looking at the kitchen doorway wearing the same look he had in 4th year whenever Fleur Delacour was around. Harry followed Ron's gaze and was suddenly looking at a stunning blue-eyed, blonde girl standing in the doorway. Harry knew at once, who she was. He had pulled the same girl out of the lake nearly two years previous. Gabriella Delacour. Hermione smiled when she saw the look on Ron's face.

Perhaps I will not have to wait for school to start she thought. Ron looked besotted with the blonde-haired person.

Ginny gave her brother a quick elbow before quietly saying, "Close your mouth Ronald, you are not a codfish. She's going to think you're a dweeb if you don't stop staring at her."

This seemed to snap Ron back into his senses. He then proceeded to frighten all of them by actually introducing himself.

"Hi, I'm Ron Weasley and you are?"

"Gabrielle Delacour."

"Ah so that makes your sister Fleur right?"

"Yes, aren't you one of zee boys who rescued me from zee lake?"

Ron nodded

"I zhought I recognized you, I don't zhink I ever zhanked you."

She walked over to Ron and kissed him on the cheek. "Zhanks."

She then turned on her heel and went into the kitchen. Ron moved his hand up towards his cheek, but stopped himself before it made contact aware of the crowd around him. The others slowly followed Gabrielle into the kitchen until there were finally just Harry and Ron in the room.

"Harry I just met the girl I am going to marry," Ron said with an emotional voice that he usually reserved for Quidditch.

'Well it certainly did not take him long to get over Hermione' Harry thought.

Harry simply clapped his friend on the back and said, "Good for you mate, now that you know who the future Mrs. Weasley is going to be, can we become members of the order?"

Ok," Ron said.

Harry noticed that he still had a dazed look in his eyes as he followed Harry into the kitchen.

The meeting immediately started when the two took their seats. Professor Dumbledore stood up faced the group, "The first order of business tonight is to welcome our newest members. I know they are young but they have proven themselves. The first one is Gabrielle Delacour; her parents were recent victims of Voldermort's followers. She and her sister managed to keep at bay six death eaters until the ministry arrived to help them. I would also like to welcome Harry James Potter, Hermione Jane Sandrilene Granger."

"Sandrilene!" said the others in unison.

"Let's just say my parents had an obsession with unusual names" she said, "Professor Dumbledore please continue."

The man smiled, "Of course dear. Ginevra Trisena Molly Weasley and Ronald Bilius Weasley, you are now all full fledged members of The Order of the Phoenix. I will not be so brazen in saying you may call us by our first names. However if we give you our permission to use our names you may. You can call me Albus if you wish but please refrain from using it in front of other students. Now to further business, as many of you know Cornelius Fudge has resigned from office in light of certain situations that were brought to light at the end of last year. We are here tonight to decide whom we are going to put up for office, elections will be held in a week's time. I know that this is sudden but with Tom in power, the ministry feels that we need someone in charge fast. The question on the table is…" he stopped speaking and the others wondered why.

It was Hermione that realized what the man had done. She looked at the table and sure enough, there was the completed question. Who do we put up for office? She cleared her throat Ginny and Harry looked at her she pointed to the table they grinned only Dumbledore they thought. The others at the table slowly noticed the message on the table once everyone had seen it Dumbledore wiped it clean.

"Well I for one think it should be Arthur Weasley," said Lupin and the others quickly agreed.

"Well Arthur your name seems to be on the table, what do you say?"

Mr. Weasley set for a few minutes in deep thought.

"My friends," he started. "I greatly appreciate your confidence in me however I must turn down this nomination. I love my job, and my family is too important to me to work the hours that would be asked of me. I would miss them too much. I regret to say that I do not wish to take on the responsibility of Minister at the moment. I however think that Amelia Bones would make an excellent Minister of Magic, and she is loyal to our cause. So we can count on her for support."

"Well," said Dumbledore "it seems that Amelia would make a good candidate, all who think we should select Amelia Bones say lemon drops." There was a chorus of lemon drops around the table.

"All who oppose say Cockroach Cluster. Well Amelia Susan Bones you have been nominated to run for Minister. Do you accept?"

"I do Albus."

"Well then I believe we need to start campaigning," said Mr. Weasley

"The first thing is we need to have a political rally," said Hermione "I believe that will be the easiest way to get her name out on the streets. I also think that Albus and Harry should make it known that they fully support Ms. Bones, after all they are very influential and their support is sure to earn her a few votes if not the election."

"Good idea Hermione," Remus replied

"Yes, good idea Ms. Granger," Dumbledore agreed. "I will accompany Amelia to the Ministry after the meeting to enroll her name on the ballot. Now Severus, I believe you have some news to give us."

Harry looked behind him. He did not know that Snape was even present tonight but then again he did despise the man.

"Yes Albus, it's as you feared two students have taken the mark."

"Who?"

"Pansy Parkinson and Theodore Nott."

"What of Draco?"

"No Albus, he not taken it, I do not think he will. From my conversations with the boy he has expressed his desire to not become his father. His Father told him that a Malfoy bows to no one so he refuses to bow to The Dark Lord. However I believe that he is still not to be trusted. He is after all a Malfoy even though he refuses to take the mark."

"Well then we will have to try harder this year to get him to turn too our side," said Dumbledore. "Now the meeting is adjourned Amelia, Gabrielle, if you will follow me." The two got up from the table and followed the man in to the sitting room.

"Well," said Mrs. Weasley, "It's been a long day for you all of you. It's time to get home, fed, and into bed. We have a busy week ahead of us."

The group followed her out of the kitchen and back home.

Remus Lupin was left with his thoughts he was still trying to figure out what to do about Tonks. He did not want to ruin a wonderful friendship. She was a beautiful, brilliant girl. Wait, not girl, woman. She was definitely a woman now. He heard a shuffle behind him and prayed it was not Tonks he was not quite ready to face her yet.

When he turned around a voice asked, "What's with you wolf?"

Lupin saw his friend Severus Snape looking through the cabinets most likely for whiskey. Yes, his friend Severus and he kept their friendship on the down low for his reputation.

"Well," Remus started, "I am having women problems. Care to give your twisted advice?"
