(A/N: I know having Faith and Severus kicked out of the Order was a big surprise. I didn't even think of it until I wrote about Sirius, Sarah and Remus walking out of the meeting.)

Chapter 46 : Halloween

Faith's jaw dropped and she asked "I've been kicked out of the Order?"

"Actually, both of you have," Remus pointed out. It was Severus's turn to look shocked.

"B-b-but this…" stammered Faith in frustration. "This doesn't make any sense!"

At that moment, Jack began to leave the room. He took one look at Faith and said with a perplexed look "Oh, you're still here?"

"I'll always be here," she snapped back. A small smile crept onto Jack's face.

"I think that'd be rather pointless, being that you are not in the Order any more," he retorted, he smiled smugly and turned to leave. He let the door slam with a loud slam. Faith quickly tore after him. As she flew out the door, someone screamed

"OBLIVERATE!" a loud thud followed. Everyone in the meeting room began to ask what the noise was. Sirius, Remus and Sarah all exchanged looks of confusion and then ran out to see what had happened. Faith lay sprawled out on her back just out the door.

Sirius quickly knelt by her as the rest of the Order pushed their way into the hall. He stared down at her and asked "Faith, what happened? What can you remember?" she looked up at him perplexed for a minute.

"I..I got kicked out of the Order.." she started as she sat up gingerly. "Jack was being a prat as usual…and…I came out here….and…" she shrugged.

"Dumbeldore, can you make her remember?" Sarah asked.

Dumbeldore shook his head sadly. "Even if I could I wouldn't. The mind is a fragile and complex thing. The only way she can remember is if she does," he nodded.

Hermione smiled brightly at her surroundings. The Headboy and her had planned a fantastic Halloween dance.

"You did a marvelous job Hermione," Remus said beaming at her.

"Thank you professor," She muttered with a smile. It was true too. Hermione had bewitched the ceiling to look like a midnight sky. A creepy moon hung high and strikes of lightening would sound of every now and then.

"Have you seen Faith or Sirius? I need to find them," Remus said. Hermione opened her mouth to speak but never got the chance to.

"AAARRRROOOO!" Faith and Sirius howled loudly as they came into the Great Hall. The two had dressed similar this year. Both had tails and furry ears that stuck out of their head, complete with claws for feet. The two smiled and howled again, this time accompanied by several students.

"This is completely stupid," A steel voice muttered behind Hermione as she stood in the back making sure everything was going right. She spun around and gave Draco Malfoy a vicious glare.

"Only a mudblood could throw a party like this. Fully complete with the werewolf, criminal and traitor of a deatheater," He spat.

"If you don't like it you can leave," Hermione seethed through gritted teeth. He advanced towards her and a sharp voice said

"Leave her alone Malfoy," Malfoy turned to see Ron and Harry with wands raised. Malfoy just gave a baneful smile.

"You think you're so smart. You and your little Order of the Phoenix." He said.

"The Dark Lord is smarter than you know. He sees and knows everything. He knows their plan. Don't think he doesn't see it. You think you're safe, just wait. He'll strike. Soon," Malfoy said with malice in his voice.

"I think you've talked enough for one evening," Ron said through gritted teeth and shoving his wand right under Malfoy's chin.

"Voldemort might know where the Order is hiding." Fred Weasley said bursting through the door of Number 12 Grimmuald Place.

"How?" Mr. Weasley said getting up from the kitchen table.

"Someone tipped him off." He answered quickly.

"We have to leave." Bill Wealsey said getting up from the table.

"Can you grab all the Order information?" Fred asked his father. He nodded and ran upstairs. Mrs. Weasley began running around grabbing various documents. Very important documents and deadly if they fell into the hands of Voldemort. Suddenly there was a large crash that could be heard from downstairs. Fred quickly grabbed his wand and ran downstairs.

"FRED!" Mrs. Weasley screamed as her son ran downstairs. Even more loud crashing could be heard downstairs. Bill quickly lit a fire. He grabbed a pot of floo powder.

"Go! I will follow!" Bill said handing his father the floo powder

"Tera Manor!" Mr. Weasley screamed as he grabbed his wife and all the Orders documents. He threw the powder into the fire and was gone with a woosh. Bill quickly put out the fire and ran downstairs to help his brother as he heard a loud scream. As he reached the bottom of the stairs he saw a terrifying scene before him. His brother Fred lay on the floor dead. His wand inches away from Bill. Three dark cloaked figures stood around Fred. One of them looked up and Bill gasped. Anger and hate coursed through Bill's veins. He picked up his brothers wand and shouted

"Avada Kedvra!"

"Faith! Where is Sirius?" McGonagall asked Faith.

"He ran off somewhere, Why?" Faith asked as she grabbed something to drink.

"I have some bad news," McGonagall said gravely.

Ron, Harry, Hermione, Neville, and Seamus Finnigan all sat around a table. They were eating and laughing. Occasionally someone else would stop by and join them and then leave.

"Ron..Can I speak to you?" McGonagall said grabbing Ron by the shoulder.

"Yeah…sure professor," He said getting up from the table.

"Ron…there has been an accident." McGonagall said slowly.

"Whats happened?" Ron said dreading what she might say.

"Ron…I'm very sorry to inform you but, your brothers Fred and Bill have been murdered by Deatheaters." She said her voice cracking in several spots.

"It seems that Voldemort was tipped off by a spy where the Order was. He went to Grimmuald Palace and your brothers tried to fight him off. " McGonagall said, tears streaming down her face.

Faith sat around the table of the Weasley's Kitchen. Her head was in her hands and her body was shaken with continuos sobs. There was a loud popping noise that caused Faith to look up.

"I just heard." Sirius said quietly as he went to sit next to his wife. He wrapped his arms around her and she sobbed into his shoulder.

"I-I-I can't b-believe they're d-d-dead." She wailed into his shoulder.

"The little b-b-boys I use t-t-to watch." She continued.

"Sirius…w-what about Molly. Where i-is s-s-she? I bet sssshe is just beside herself." Faith cried as she looked up at Sirius.

"She went to the school. She felt that she needed to pick up Ron and Ginny personally." He said softly.

"How can he keep doing this? Ruining our lives. Just when things begin to get so happy he has to shatter it all." Faith wailed. She didn't need to say whom she was talking about. Sirius already knew. Voldemort. There was another popping noise as Remus, Sarah and baby Catherine entered the kitchen. Sarah's face was red and blotchy and Remus looked pale and grim. Suddenly there was the sound of moving feet in the living room. There was a ding as the hands of the Weasley grandfather clock moved from traveling to Home. Faith rose from her seat and turned around. She promptly began to busy herself in the kitchen by putting a kettle of water on the stove to boil.

There was the sound of pounding feet going quickly up the stairs. A few minutes passed before Arthur Weasley accompanied by his son Charlie walked into the kitchen. His face was deadly pale and his eyes were bloodshot. Charlie kept his head down and immediately sat down. From the looks of things, his cheeks were stained from tears. The room was silent. No one knew what to say. Finally Remus broke the silence.

"Where," he started, cleared his throat and continued "are the others?"

"Molly is in her room…Ron is in his room, Ginny is with her mother and George is outside." He said. Faith never turned around. She kept her eyes constantly on the kettle that was boiling. There was a light tapping noise that startled. She looked up and noticed Severus Snape standing outside. He tapped on the small window above the stove trying to get her attention. He motioned for her to come outside. She mouthed 'One Minute'. He nodded and she turned around. Arthur and Charlie were both staring down at their hands not saying a word. They seemed to be lost in their own little worlds. Faith touched Sirius's shoulder and motioned for him to get up. As he did she motioned for Sarah and Remus to follow her outside. They did and Sarah cradled Catherine closely to her chest.

As soon as Sirius saw Severus his blood boiled and he reacted with lightening quick speed.

"You sold us out to Voldemort didn't you? You treacherous snake." Sirius growled through gritted teeth. He held Severus tightly by the front of his robes. The two shared a look of pure ice.

"No. I didn't tell Voldemort where the Order is. I'm in the Order you dolt." Severus spat coldly.

"Hmp! Not any more your not, and Voldemort would certainly protect one of his most trusted deatheaters for doing a little spy work." Sirius snarled.

"Why would I?" Severus asked with obvious hate dripping from his voice.

"For obvious reasons. Revenge. " Sirius whispered. Severus whispered something inaudible. Sirius raised a hand to strike him but someone was quickly breaking them apart.

"You two fighting isn't going to solve anything." Faith said diving in-between the two.

"I agree." Remus said pulling Sirius and Severus apart.

"I came to tell you who really tipped Voldemort off." Severus said calmly and adjusting his robes.

"Who?" Sirius snapped. Severus just made a face of disgust and shot daggers at Sirius.

"Who Severus?" Faith asked crossing his arms. He looked at her and then to his feet.

"It'll be hard to say this," said Severus, he took a deep breath and looked up.

"It was…"
