Alright so here's the next chapter, the next one after this should be out either tomorrow or Thursday. To all my reviewers: Thank you all for the input! Baby Huey, LiTTleMiSSmOOny, and Strandy!
Harry lead everybody into the newly created Den and invited everyone to sit down at the large square table. The table had a circular platform in the middle, which would create 3D images, maps etc. upon command. The Order sat around the table, Harry paced the room, once everyone was sitting down he walked over to a blue panel in the wall and stuck his hand on it, he closed his eyes and transferred all of his knowledge to the projector in the centre of the table. He then began to pace again.
"My friends, it is on grave terms that I am here with you tonight, the recent passing to our friend, mentor, and leader, Dumbledore. I am happy to tell you that I have been in contact with him since he has passed." He looked around the table at the faces of shock and confusion, "as we all know, Dumbledore was an incredibly strong wizard. He told me that before he was murdered he knew that he was going to die, aggravating I know. However he left me something that he created, among other things, it was called a Meligna. The Meligna allows the owner to travel to a 'middle world' to converse with the creator or creators. Using this I contacted him yesterday. He wished that I call the order into a meeting and embrace leadership of this powerful group. He also left me a letter, appointing me to Headmaster of Hogwarts, however although I have accepted, I am still unsure as to how long I will hold onto this position, but as such I have created our new headquarters in the school. You will all stay at the school at all times, the school needs as much protection as it can muster in times like these. I have also created living quarters for you all. I would hope that you would take this idea and accept it with open arms. I am also taking over post as Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher. During the holidays, this will be our meeting room, we will have biweekly meetings, on Tuesdays and on Thursdays, this is subject to change. It is about time that we take a position at the front of the fight. Attacks are happening daily, and I know you'll agree that this is no longer an option. I know that you all have careers, but the school will support you, and seeing as you will be the schools new protection force, you will be on it's payroll." He looked at Remus, "Remus, my friend, I have asked Professor Slughorn to mix your potion whenever it is needed, all you need to do is ask him for it. Now I have another request for all of you, I wish for you all to help out with the DA, Dumbledore's Army, that is. I would feel more comfortable knowing that some students are receiving training above and beyond our Defence classes, and I would feel best if I knew that all of the order will donate it's skills to the effort. He looked around the table, all eyes were intently on him. "So, what do you think?" Everybody started shifting in place.
"I think you're in over your head Potter. Headmaster? That's a big job." Moody sneered.
"I agree with you, I think you are taking a lot more responsibility than you can handle Harry." Arthur Weasley agreed.
"I know, honestly, I would not have taken it if I was sure of who else would have gotten it, or if I knew who to hand it off to. However, as it stands so far, I am the headmaster at Hogwarts, until I find a suitable replacement, that is the way it will stay. Truth be told, I took the position to make sure that whoever takes it from me is good for the school, now any suggestions of candidates?" Everyone, again, shifted in place.
"You…" Ron said shyly. Ginny nodded.
"Ron, that is absurd, a 17 year old Headmaster? Please! We must have someone with more experience in the Wizarding world, more, wisdom, if you will." Hermione spoke sternly.
"Umbridge!" Ginny shouted to a chorus of laughter.
"Now, now Ginny, we don't want to have that again." Remus chuckled.
"Alright, the school will be open for you all to begin moving in, just chose a room, the meeting room is just across from Dum- My office. The living areas branch off of that room, the portrait is of a very large Fawkes with his arms around Hogwarts. Meeting is adjourned." He looked at them all. "Now, if any of you wish to stay, I have fifteen extra rooms available." He smiled and lead everyone into the front hall. The only people who decided to stay were Ron, Hermione and Ginny. "Alright, so it's us again huh?" They all laughed lightly as he led them up the stairs into the stone hallway, he turned to the right leading them all into the family bedrooms. "This is where you all will be staying in the time you are here, now if you'll excuse me, I need some sleep, you are free to explore the house at your leisure, you can call Shirly, Gretch, or Rimy, to give you a tour, I'd give you more names, but those are the only house elves I've met so far, all of them know how to cook, so if you get hungry, just ask them." He smiled to the three of them and left to go to his room.
Harry entered his room and pulled the envelope out of the glass case and grabbed a piece of parchment, he wrote,
Dear Parents,
First of all I want you to know that I love you very much, and I
understand why you waited so long to give this letter to me. I have not
spoken to you in a long time, and so I figure in this letter I will
tell you all about my life…
And as of right now I am taking the position of Headmaster at Hogwarts, as given to me by Dumbledore, as well I am now the leader of the Order, and Defence Against The Dark Arts Teacher. Please say hi to Sirius for me and I hope to hear from you all soon.
Your loving Son,
Harry.
Harry then folded the parchment and put it in the envelope, "Send!" He felt the envelope become empty and he put the envelope in the glass box above the fireplace. He then walked over to the bed and fell asleep.
