Author's Note

Ok so this story used to be on my other account name, shay-kitty. I got tired with that one so I changed the name. I took the old "The Princess of Darkness" changed a few things and went through with spell check (yay). Now of course it won't be perfect but better then last time. This is like… I don't know… 2 years old? So of course the writing isn't all that good either, but with practice at least a year of practice more, I've gotten slightly better.

Harry was sitting with all of the Weasly family (minus Arthur, he was at work) and Hermione at the dinner table at the new headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix, They old headquarters they all knew Harry would not be able to stay at for that was the house of his Godfather, Sirius Black who died at the end of the last year at Hogwarts.

Harry has been terribly depressed ever since that tragic day. Plus with that and the fear of Voldemort being out on the prowl, Harry didn't look the best. A month after school the Weasley's came to get Harry to come live with them and they would have sworn that all they found were a pile of bones. Harry had only been eating enough to sustain life. But now with Mrs. Weasly making sure he eats everything she put in front of him he was starting to look much better.

"So, tomorrow we are all going to go to Diagon Alley to purchase everyone's school supplies. How does that sound?" asked Mrs. Weasly.

No one was able to answer because just then McGonagall, Snape, and Tonks all came barging into the room one after another.

"Molly, quickly clear the table!" Professor McGonagal said.

"What happened?" Mrs. Weasly asked as everyone got up from the table while she quickly got rid of everything on it with her wand.

Arthur Weasly came into the dinning room at that moment carrying a young girl's body. He gently placed her down on the table. She was covered in scrapes and blood. Her hair was matted with sticks and leaves and her clothes were torn all over. Her chest rose and fell as she took jagged breaths.

"The first raid on a house. We found her outside, the others are checking inside for anyone else," said Snape.

Dumbledore, Moody, and Lupin came in with grim looks on their faces. "We found one other person in the house, but unfortunately she was not live. We assume she was this girl's mother," said Dumbledore.

"We must quickly dress these wounds," Tonks said, "Someone go get some bandages."

"Perhaps the children should leave the room while we sort this out," said Snape.

"But we can help," argued Hermione.

"I think that would be a good idea Snape. Please go out into the living room children," Mr. Weasly agreed.

"Well Fred and I can stay right?" asked George.

"You two should leave also," said Percy acting like he was in charge.

"No that includes you three also," said Snape.

Reluctantly they all left and the dinning room doors were slammed behind them.

"So it's finally begun," whispered Harry.
