DISCLAIMER: I only wish I owned this! Anything you may recognize belongs to JK Rowling, and I ain't makin' a dime off of this. Wish I was though, and then maybe I could move out of this spacious cardboard box, lol!

A/N: Sorry ya'll, I've had writers block on this chapter. It might seemed a little forced, but I'm doing my best to make sure it isn't.

Chapter 5: Surprises and Worries

Later that evening Albus sat in a meeting chamber off his office watching the curious faces of all those that were a part of his 'inner circle' for the Order of the Phoenix. Only one person there had any idea as to why they were summoned, besides the teachers of course, and those that knew were quite excited about what has going to happen. They were all looking forward to the reactions of the others.

"Let this meeting of the Order of the Phoenix come to order," Albus intoned calming everyone down immediately.

"What are we here for Albus," Mad-eye Moody asked.

"We are here for several reasons, but first I'd like to hear your reports," Albus answered. Severus was the first to stand up while glaring at the staff that had seen him beat so utterly fast earlier in the day.

"As far as the Dark Lord has told me, he has plans of attacking Hogwarts, although after what happened earlier today I do not know if those plans are still on. He was intending to stage an attack from Hogsmeade after he had taken it," Severus reported.

"Thankfully we do not need to worry about that yet," Albus responded, "Please keep me informed of what you find out Severus."

"Of course Headmaster," Severus replied before sitting down.

"The Ministry is in an uproar after what happened earlier today," Arthur began as he stood up, "Over half of the Heads are calling for Fudge's resignation for what happened to Sirius Black as he did not even get a trial all those years ago. There is also an investigation into corruption beginning being lead by Madame Bones and Kingsley Shacklebolt."

"Thank you Arthur," Albus replied before turning to Kingsley, "What have you found out so far Kingsley?"

"So far we have discovered that Fudge ordered Sirius to Azkaban after officially questioning him under Veritaserum, and that he obliviated anyone who knew what happened. The idiot forgot to stop the dictating quill before he did it, and then didn't even make sure that the record of the interrogation was destroyed. They were filed with all the other interrogation reports," Kingsley answered sounding as if he couldn't understand how someone so stupid had remained minister for so long.

"Find all that you can, and be sure that the Wizengamot will support whatever your findings are," Albus told him before motioning to Ron to begin his report.

"Well, as all of you know, there was an attack on Hogsmeade earlier today," Ron began, "But what most of you don't know as we've all pretty much been tied up in meetings today is that the reason that Hogsmeade wasn't lost is that Harry Potter came to save the day." This caused quite a commotion for those that hadn't read the Daily Prophet earlier in the day, or who hadn't been at the staff meeting.

"What do you mean 'Harry Potter' was there," Dung shouted.

"He was there indeed," Albus answered for Ron, "We were discussing some things in my office when the attack began."

"He's really back? The Boy-Who-Lived is alive," someone shouted.

"Yes, he's back, and really has never been gone," Albus responded keeping the secret of where Harry had been just that, a secret.

"Where is he then," Elphias asked.

"He is currently getting to know his godfather better, but asked me to let you all know that he will be coming to the next meeting," Albus informed them.

"Albus, you never told us what you were discussing with Mr. Potter," Minerva pointed out.

"Oh yes, forgive me, I tend to lose track of the topic quite easily," Albus told them jokingly, "Mr. Potter has requested that he, and his wife, be allowed to train everyone in the Order so that they may be able to survive this war."

"How can he train us," Moody asked indignantly, "He's never been trained in magic let alone been in a battle."

"That is where you are wrong Alastor," Albus said with a grin, "Not only was he fighting earlier today, he and his wife are Elementals, along with the fact that he has been trained far more extensively than any of us can guess."

"And where'd the lad get this training," Mad-eye asked.

"That is not my story to tell, but I have assurances that he will let you all in on the secret when he comes to the next meeting," Albus told them all.

"What kind of training does he want to put us through," Ron asked somewhat fearful.

"He told me that he wants to train you up, for those that aren't already in: battle magics, endurance training, and some basic wandless magic. Also for those that have Elemental abilities they would train them to be able to harness that ability," Albus answered.

"What does the young pup know about battle magics," Mad-eye sneered. He took it personally that someone thought they could know more about dueling in battles then him.

"He knows more than you think, and he is also married to the woman whom trained him in those magics, so the training should be good. For those that have official training like Aurors the only training that they would need would be endurance training or if any of them are Elementals," Albus replied with his eyes twinkling like mad.

"When will this training start," Kingsley asked. He was always ready for additional training as he knew you could never be prepared enough.

"Within the next few weeks, but before the training begins Mr. Potter needs to take a short trip to learn a spell that could drastically help this war," Albus answered.

'You should not tell them whom Harry is going to learn this spell from,' Fawkes' voice remarked in Albus' mind.

'Do not worry, I do not intend to,' Albus told his familiar.

Meanwhile at Grimmauld Place

"How are you feeling Sirius," Harry asked the newly freed man.

"Harry," Sirius asked, "Is that really you?"

"Yes Sirius, it's me, how are you feeling?"

"I-I don't know," Sirius responded confused.

"Why don't you clean up a bit and take a nap? You'll need your rest," Eliz suggested.

"Yeah, I think I'll do that," Sirius agreed, still somewhat in shock. He slowly made his way up to the bathroom that was off of his old room.

"Do you think he'll be alright," Harry asked concerned.

"I think he just needs time to process everything, he did after all spend 19 years surrounded by dementors," Eliz told him before grabbing him into a big hug.

"I hope so, he's like family to me, even though I he hasn't seen me in so many years. I just want him to be alright," Harry responded before laying his head on her shoulder and letting a few tears leak out.

"When do you think you'll be going to the Underworld with Nyx and Tenebrae," she asked concerned. She knew that Harry would be safe while he was with Nyx, but that didn't stop her from worrying.

"As soon as she shows up to get me I guess," Harry replied before leading Eliz to the room they had taken as their own until Sirius was better.

A/N: Sorry this chapter is exceedingly short, but I really couldn't figure out anything else to put in this chapter. Hopefully I won't have that problem with the next chapter. Review responses will be posted with the next chapter.
