CHAPTER 5- Harry and the Order…
The trip to fetch Harry from his aunt and uncle's was interesting, to say the least. Leave it to Mad-Eye to make the simple trip more complicated than necessary.
I daresay that Harry was not expecting to see us when we arrived in the kitchen of #4 Privet Drive. Other than looking a little disheveled, he appeared to be fine. And when I told him we were taking him away, he looked noticeably happier. From what I've heard about his relatives, can't say I blame him. When we finally got back to headquarters, we had to head into a meeting for the Order with Dumbledore.
An hour later, once the meeting had adjourned, Molly went up to get the children for dinner. Harry looked a bit disgruntled when he came in, Ron and Hermione followed after. Hermione looked a little upset and nervous. Hmm I wonder why.
Dinner was, as usual, wonderful. Everyone was sleepily relaxed; until Sirius opened his mouth. Once he did, Harry wanted to know what was happening with Voldemort. Molly was vehemently against telling him anything. She thought it was for Harry's own good.
But Sirius disagreed, and I for one agree with him. I think it is better that he hear it from us rather than the garbled information he is no doubt hearing from Ron and the others.
Molly tried to prevent Fred George, Ron and Hermione from knowing, but in the end they stayed also. The only one left out was Ginny, to her annoyance.
So, we filled Harry in on some of the details of what was going on with Voldemort.
The next few days were a busy time. Molly, Sirius and the kids were spending most of the time cleaning up the house. I was doing some things for the Order. And before any of us realized, the day of Harry's hearing was upon us. I felt bad for him, he looked so nervous. We tried to reassure him, but he still looked anxious.
