" Ah, Mrs. Granger, Mr. Potter, where is… Hello Mr. Weasley" Ron and Professor McGonagall entered. " well, I suppose you three know why you are here then? Your things have already been packed and are on their way to the Black's house, you'll be traveling by floo powder" Dumbledore pointed over to the fireplace. It was tall and looked as if a fire had just been put out. " Mrs. Granger, perhaps you will go first, have you ever traveled by floo?"

"no headmaster, but I've read all about it" Hermione placed her hand in the metal bucket holding the powder. She stepped into the fire place and clearly said "The Black's house" Ron followed. Harry never really enjoyed traveling by floo, the green flames that would rise always sort of scared him, but he followed after Ron.

Being back at the black house gave Harry's chills, but he was glad to finally be allowed into an Order meeting.

"Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, And Ronald Weasley will be sent on their first mission tomorrow morning" The three young wizards snapped back to live after Dumbledore announced that they'd be infiltrating a death eaters headquarters. " I have complete faith in them, they may be young, but I know they are strong enough to handle this."

" no, no there is no way I'm letting three young wizards into such a dangerous position" Mrs. Weasley stood up. " Especially not what happened to.. To… George and Fred" She broke into tears, Ron left his seat on the other side of the circular room to comfort his mother.

"They are of age, I don't think this is your decision" Lupin stood up, Mrs. Weasley stared crying harder. "I know they are ready"

"Well, what do you say, will you be ready to leave tomorrow?" Dumbledore stood from his seat.

" Yes" Harry looked over at Hermione, then at Ron "I am ready"

" Me too" Ron and Hermione replied together.

"May I ask" Harry begun "Where we will be going, and what we're supposed to do?"

" I was getting to that, Well, Professor Snape has discovered that several of Voldemort's most loyal death eaters are planning an attack on muggle born students at Hogwarts, you will be attacking these death eater before they can set of for Hogwarts grounds. Other order members will be at Hogwarts taking precautions to ensure no one slips through your fingers and goes on with the attack. Can you handle that?" Dumbledore asked. All three of them shook their heads.

Harry laid awake in the dark cold room, sleeping on the floor hurt his back, but there was no other room with beds. He looked over at Hermione, her hair fell gracefully onto her shoulders and her lips where cherry red. While Harry stared he had no idea Hermione was fully awake.

"Are you scared?" she whispered, trying not to wake Ron on her other side.

"No, a little," Harry admitted

"I am, I mean I know we can handle this, we took death eater on in 5th year and now we're 3 times more powerful, but I don't want any of us to get hurt." She moved over into Harry's arms as she allowed her self to cry only a little before she fell asleep. Tomorrow they would but 7 years of schooling and Harry's 2 years of private training to the test. Harry only 2 hours of sleep before Ron had woken him up. Harry slowly released his grip on Hermione as he and Ron went downstairs for breakfast.

"Oh Fantastic you're up" Mr. Weasely greeted them " I thought I should wake you but I knew you needed you rest, Hermione still asleep then, you best wake her up, you'll be leaving for London soon"

"London? What genius of a death eater would but a secret headquarters in London?" Ron asked scratching his head " and how are we getting all the way to London, muggle way?"

"Notice Ron, it's still dark, you'll be flying, oh dear Hermione doesn't have a broom does she?"

"She can ride with me" Harry suggested

"Perfect, Ron will you go wake her" Ron left " Harry, I was wondering if I can have a word"

"Of course"

" Well, Harry the Order is fearing that you could run into Voldemort and well, I wanted to know, if you where in a position to face off Voldemort, could you handle it?"

"I-I-I think I could"

" I need you to know you can"

" Then, I know I can Mr. Weasely"
