Chapter 19

Order Meeting

Harry looked around to see more than 30 people in the room. He knew a few faces but a lot of them he didn't recognise. "Look at all the people in here Ron" said Harry. "Yeah, I know. There have been a lot of knew recruits who don't want the same things to happen as last time you-know-who was in power" said Ron shuddering at even thinking about Voldemort. "Its just a name Ron, get over it" said Harry. "Yeah I know mate. But it's hard to break old habits. Come on let's get something to eat. I'm hungry, really hungry." Said Ron dragging Harry to the table.

Harry sat down and grabbed a sausage roll. "Hey guys, finally decided to join us?" asked Brooke from across the table. "Ah, yeah. We were talking to Remus about his important thing he had to do. We made him blush and he wouldn't answer our questions," said Ron as he piled mini frankfurts on his plate. As Harry ate he looked around at the people in the room. He saw Tonks and Remus talking animatedly about something. Dumbledore talking to someone he didn't know and McGonagall conversing with Mrs Weasley. Fred and George were talking to two girls. Charlie was sitting near them, watching Fred and George suspiciously. Harry and his friends mingled with people when they'd finished eating. Harry talked to Bill and Charlie for a while. Than he just stood over at the wall, watching everybody and drinking a muggle drink called Coke.

Harry thought it tasted quite good. Dudley had always drunk the stuff but Harry was never allowed to have the drink. Harry was looking around when a man caught his eye. The man was standing in the corner of the room, leaning against the wall. He had on black clothes; an open black coat and a black cloak had been draped around his shoulders. Harry saw a wand holster on the mans side, he was wearing black dragon hide combat boots and 2 daggers were sticking out of the boots. The guy had his head down and some of his black hair was falling across his face, shielding it from view. Harry saw a lit cigarette in the guy's hand. As the guy lifted the cigarette to take a puff he raised his head and he looked right at Harry. He was staring at Harry with a piercing gaze.

It gave Harry Goosebumps. "Ah Harry, there you are. There's someone I want you to meet," said Dumbledore putting a hand on Harry's shoulder. Harry broke the man's gaze and looked up at Dumbledore. "Hello headmaster." Said Harry. Dumbledore looked over at the strange man and beckoned him over with his hand. The man was looking at Dumbledore and than nodded. He dropped his cigarette to the ground and put it out. He than used his wand and made the cigarette remains disappear.

The man began to walk over to them. He moved swiftly and he looked menacing. The man stopped in front of Dumbledore and slightly nodded his head. Harry still couldn't get a good look at the mans face. "Harry I'd like you to meet Stevanus. He's one of our new members. He joined last week" said Dumbledore. The man named Stevanus looked up and Harry got a good look at his face. His face was thin and was windswept. He had black hair to his chin and most was pulled back off his face except for the strands that were to short. He had a thin nose and peculiar grey eyes. "Hey kid, nice to meet cha" said Stevanus with an Australian Accent. "Hi, I'm Harry Potter," said Harry extending his hand. Stevanus gave it a brief shake. "Yeah I know ya kid. Just cos I lived in Australia doesn't mean I don't know ya" said Stevanus.

"I suppose not." Said Harry. "Hey Harry, you want to come watch a video with us?" asked Brooke coming over to Harry. When she reached him she looked over at Stevanus and froze. "Uncle Stevanus!" shrieked Brooke catching Stevanus in a hug. "Hey kid. What's up?" said Stevanus unaffected by the shocked faces around him. "What on earth are you doing here?" shrieked Brooke, releasing him. "Got a transfer here," said Stevanus. Harry managed to find his voice. "Uncle?" asked Harry. Brooke swatted him on the arm. "He's not my real uncle. He's a family friend. I call him uncle because I've know him all my life." Explained Brooke. "Oh" said Harry. Dumbledore cleared his throat "well the meeting will start soon. Harry I was wondering would you mind sitting in on the meeting please" said Dumbledore.

"Of course Headmaster, as you wish" said Harry. "Well kid it was good to see you again." Said Stevanus. "Yeah. You better come see me often or at least write" demanded Brooke. "I will," promised Stevanus. "Alright. Well I'll fill the others in on why you're not coming to watch the movie with us." Said Brooke to Harry and left the room. People began to take seats around the table. Harry sat between Remus and Stevanus. Harry looked over at Remus to see him going through some pictures. "What you got their Moony?" asked Harry. "Pictures of the old order" replied Remus. "Remus?" asked Harry. "Yes Harry" said Remus as he looked at the next picture.

"Are any of my relatives alive. A cousin, great aunt, anything?" asked Harry. "Well you did have relatives Harry," replied Remus. "What happened to them?" asked Harry. "Your whole family were rich and influential to the wizarding world. Voldemort himself killed them." Said Remus. "What?" said Harry in disbelief. "Yes. He hunted them all down and killed them. Right down to your parents." Said Remus sadly. "They were great people. You know your mother had a cousin who was a wizard," said Remus. "What happened to him?" asked Harry. Remus sighed and had a far away expression as if remembering something. "His name was Steve and he was a great man. The family you had left were all in hiding away from Voldemort. Steve was a very good wizard and pretty powerful. Two days after your birth he was found totally disfigured on his doorstep. Poor man" said Remus sadly.

"How do they know it was him?" asked Harry. "He had the family ring on his finger" said Remus. "That's not enough to say it was him," said Harry in denial. "The body had his blood type and it was Steve because we looked for him to make sure. He was nowhere to be found. It was he Harry. Voldemort killed him himself. Just like the others. Steve was a good man and death eaters who battled him always lost. James and him were close. He was going to be your god father as well," said Remus.

Remus took a particular photo and showed Harry. In the picture was a group of people in what seemed to be a hall. His mum was there, his dad, Remus, Sirius and a dark haired man. He looked pretty young and was laughing at Harry's dad. "That's Steve," said Remus pointing to the man in the picture. "I hate Voldemort for doing this to my family. Its not fair to take away their lives" said Harry. "I know but don't let your anger lead you. With it you will make big mistakes, keep your mind clear and you will go along way," said Remus wisely.

Harry noticed Stevanus shifting uncomfortably in his seat and he made a grunting noise. Harry shook his head and looked over at Dumbledore. He was standing and rang a bell. Everyone quietened down. "Welcome to tonight's order meeting. Its lovely to see all of you here" said Dumbledore. "Tonight Harry has joined us as I believe he is ready. He also had some thing I'd like him to tell you. Some of you know what happen this summer but a lot of you don't. Harry I was hoping you would tell everyone about what happened this past summer and than what has happened these first months back at school" said Dumbledore. "Ahh, sure Headmaster" said Harry uncertainly.

Harry stood up and told them about the whole near death experience over summer, meeting Brooke and finding out she was his twin. Everyone gasped when they heard. 'No way' someone had shouted out. Harry retold about why they were separated at birth. Than he told them about Draco and his cronies almost killing him. Many people had shouted in disbelief or in anger. Harry could have sworn he heard someone say 'I'll kill that little brat'. He told them how Draco and some Slytherins had stormed a D.A meeting and replayed to them everything that happened. When he had said the whole thing about being hit with a Crucio curse, Mrs Weasley had screeched "My Poor Baby!"

Harry had lost his composure when she had said that but quickly gained control over himself. He had finished with telling them about his dream and what happened to Brooke when he had that vision. When he sat down there was shell-shocked silence. "Well now you know what were dealing with. It seems a lot of people are trying to kill Harry and the fighters for our side. I believe many Slytherin students have taken the dark mark or are working secretly for Voldemort without it to escape their secret being revealed. I know that Draco and his friends have probably taken the dark mark. Severus can you justify any of this?" asked Dumbledore. Snape stood up. "Yes it is true. Over the summer Draco and his friends took the dark mark. Some other select Slytherin students took the dark mark or agreed to help Voldemort," said Snape.

"This is very serious if Voldemort is taking students," said Dumbledore. People nodded in agreement. "Now on to something else more serious. Voldemort is planning some major attacks in the next few months. He is making an attack on Diagon Alley we know that. Severus has told me the attack is meant to take place just before Christmas. We will have people stationed at Diagon Alley at all times and emergency portakeys put around the neck of every shop owner in the alley. The portakeys can hold up to 20 people each. They will be transported to a safe location." Said Dumbledore, surveying the room.

Harry noticed many people had grim faces and Stevanus next to him looked angry. "There will be two attacks on muggle places after Christmas and Voldemort is planning more attacks to take place." Said Dumbledore. "Many of you know how it feels to lose family to him and his death eaters. This time he will be stopped." Someone near the back spoke up "You do realise that capturing the death eaters and taking the to the ministry won't work. They'll just be released again," said the person. There was a murmur of agreement. "I do realise that. Which is why they won't be handed over to the ministry. I still don't like the idea of killing them but a secure location will be set up to imprison them." Said Dumbledore. Most people nodded to the idea. Stevanus wasn't one of them.

Harry and Remus didn't nod either. Harry thought they should fight fire with fire. If they didn't kill them than there would be more around to hurt people. "Well I think we'll just have a report from Severus and break up for tonight. We will have another meting in say….. 1 week maybe." Announced Dumbledore. People nodded in agreement. Severus stood up and gave his report. Harry tuned out as Snape's voice was lulling him into boredom. Soon people around him were standing up. "What? Is the meeting over?" asked Harry, looking around. Remus nodded "Yes it is. You should go to bed. Good night Harry" said Remus. "Night Moony" said Harry giving his godfather a brief hug. Harry turned to Stevanus "Good bye sir" said Harry. "Call me Stevanus. Bye Kid" said Stevanus and he walked away, his cloak billowing behind him.

"That man is very mysterious." Announced Remus. Harry nodded "He's very mysterious indeed" Harry waved goodbye to Dumbledore and left the kitchen.

When Harry entered his room he found not only Ron but Ginny, Hermione and Brooke as well. Brooke was sitting on Ron's lap, Hermione was siting cross-legged on the floor with her head buried in a book. Ginny was lying on Harry's bed playing with her hair. "Hey guys," said Harry coming over and sitting on his bed. "Harry!" exclaimed Ginny, sitting up and giving him a hug. "What took you so long?" asked Ginny. "Oh, well the meeting went for longer than expected. We just talked about some planned attacks, reports and stuff like that," said Harry. "Oh well now that your back the girls can go to bed," said Ron. Brooke who was sitting on him appeared to be asleep. "Hey, is she asleep?" asked Harry. Ron looked down "Maybe" Brooke smiled and nudged him "I am not. But I am awfully tired" Brooke sat up and stretched. "Come on girls lets go. Oh so do you like my Uncle Stevanus Harry?" asked Brooke.

"Yeah he's alright. But he seems really mysterious. Does he always wear black?" asked Harry. "Yeah, he's always been like that. He always wears black for some reason." Replied Brooke. Harry nodded. "Night girls" said Harry. "Night" The girls left and Harry and Ron changed into Pyjamas. Soon after Harry was in bed he fell into a deep sleep.

Next Morning Harry got changed and went down to the kitchen. "Morning sleepy head" teased Ginny. Harry groaned. "What time is it?" asked Harry as he sat down next to her. "It's 11am," said Ginny. Kissing his cheek. "Oh" said Harry. After Breakfast they were watching a DVD in the "muggle room" on the third floor. They were watching The Incredibles. It was a little kid's movie but it was so funny.

When that movie was finished they watched Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. That went for 2 hours. "This movie's great" exclaimed Ron during all the fighting. "Yeah, isn't Will cute?" gushed Ginny. "I like Captain Jack Sparrow. He's so cool," said Brooke. Hermione agreed with them both. "Well that Elizabeth Swan is a pretty hot babe," announced Harry. "HARRY!" shouted Ginny. "What?" asked Harry, shrugging his shoulders.

Everyone laughed. "Seriously what so bad about it? You drool over guys on TV so why can't I drool over the girls?" asked Harry. "Because, because, because you just can't." said Ginny unconvincingly. "Fine. I'll just think about her in my head" said Harry laughing. Ginny made a huffing noise and turned back to the TV.

For the rest of the day they had a movie fest and even had Dinner in the muggle room. When Harry went to sleep that night he had very strange dreams of all the films he watched mixed together.

Over the next week everyone was getting into the holiday spirit. They went shopping, wrapped presents, decorated and made Christmas puddings, cakes and biscuits. At the end of the week Voldemort had sent death eaters to attack Diagon Alley. He sent many low-ranking death eaters and the Order won the battle. Harry had gone to fight with them and was surprised by how Stevanus battled. He was quite powerful and he left the death eaters at near death. That day luckily only 8 people died, many people got away and others left behind were injured. After the attack there had been an Order meeting called to discuss the attack. They agreed Voldemort was just messing around but was still able to bring fear to people. They had caught 18 death eaters and they were put in special prisons. Harry had seen them.

The cells were made out of 4 concrete walls. One section was curtained off but using a particular spell you could see through it. Behind the curtain were a toilet, a sink and a square platform. They were supposed to step on to the platform and water would magically rain down on them. There was a single bed in each cell and they were given muggle books to read. No action ones- they didn't want them getting ideas. The walls were 4 inches thick. The order members could see in to the cell but the occupants couldn't see out.

They were pretty good cells and Order Members fed the death eaters. Dumbledore was going to question the death eaters after they had calmed down. At the moment they would kick and scream for hours on end. Rip pages from the books given to them, which would repair themselves. Harry found it amusing to watch them carry on like four year olds and it seemed Stevanus thought the same thing because Harry was watching him. Stefanus had looked amused and there was the odd glint in his eye.

When the weekend came, it was only 2 days to Christmas. They were lounging about after dinner in the lounge room. "Brooke. Do you love you Uncle? Like how do you feel about him?" asked Harry unexpectedly. Brooke who was lying on the couch with her head in Ron's lap looked over at him. "Well, I've known him all my life. He's definitely like a real uncle to me. I love him like a real relative but sometimes he creeps me out" said Brooke turning her head and looking at Ron. "Creepy?" asked Harry. "Yeah, like, where ever I am he seems to always be there. He's always were I am, watching me. Sometimes I see him staring at me with an odd look in his eyes. I don't know what it is but it was certainly weird," said Brooke. "I don't like the sound of that," said Harry. "I'm not sure how much of a good person he is," He continued. "What do you mean?" asked Hermione.

"Like, he's always mysterious and when I saw him fighting he was unsympathetic. I mean I know their death eaters. But he was ruthless and left them near death" said Harry. "Stop it. You're creeping me out. I've know him all my life and he never did anything bad". Said Brooke. "Okay. I'm sorry," said Harry. "So you should be. I know he seems a bit weird but he is a nice guy," said Brooke. Harry nodded but he still didn't believe her.
