Transcript of meeting on the 10th of August;

Dumbledore: Welcome everybody! I am glad to see that you are all well. Very glad indeed.

James: here here.

Dumbledore: Well friends, shall we start with what each of you has been up to? James, I trust that you are taking note?

James: Er, the book is sir. I sort of charmed it. I'm a bit lazy.

Dumbledore: You charmed it?

James: All right, all right, Lily charmed it.

Dumbledore: Thought as much. Ah, Marleen, m'dear. How are the classes going?

Marleen McKinnon: For the last year or so, I have been giving classes in London for those who wish to learn side along apparition, and the response has been outstanding! I have been able to move on, even, and begin to also instruct ways to perform locking charms on ones house that many people aren't aware of, that guard against much more than Alohamora. I have been keeping my eye out, for anyone that looks as though they might be able to be inducted into the Order, however, most of those who come to me are young mother, wishing to provide protection for their children, and so they're really in no place to be joining the order of the phoenix. If they do look promising, though, I don't tell them about it straight away, instead I refer them to Dearborn's classes and meetings, or whatever you call them.

Cardoc Dearborn: defence classes. Yes, and we have found some people who can be trusted. Take the Prewetts here! They were one of the first to join up! So far we've covered disarming, the impediment jinx, stunning, and we are going to begin to learn how to conjure patronus', once we have mastered all the basic things. There are about thirty in this years class, none know of the Order as of yet, because I am not sure who can be trusted or not, but I shall look more closely into it. But so far the Prewetts are the only new members that the course has recruited.

Gidoen: Yes, and I am glad that you did. Though it has been hard lying to our sister about our whereabouts. She's a nosy things the dear. Just had two more sons, twins! She really would be a useful member if the kids weren't there. Maybe when they all go off to Hogwarts.

Fabian: I wish that everyone would stop saying that. I hope that the war will be well and truly over before our nephews are all at high school!

Ella: I agree.

Dumbledore: While I have your attention Ella, I have a job for you.

Ella: Yes?

Dumbledore: I would like to offer you the position of Defence against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts this year. I think that it would be good to have an order member teaching the subject, though only for a year, and you can floo back here every night.

Ella: I would love to!

Dumbledore: And of course keep an eye out for those who show the sort of spirit that the eight of you did back in high school.

McGonagal: Spirit indeed.

Dumbledore: And to why I called you all here today. Essentially, I wished to touch base with the lot of you, and to assure that everyone was still all right. I am, however, concerned. You already know of the imperius curse, which came to our attention last year, however, it has now become evident that one of the people in this room is a spy. For the other side. Weather they are acting under the curse or on their own accord I am not sure, though both options are likely. I have people working on discovering the cause for the leak of information, and I shall not disclose who those people are for their own safety. It is no longer safe to speak among each other, and be weary as to whom you trust.

We have also, however, got useful connections, and I will tell you now that we know, through our intelligence, that there is to be an attack in Hogsmeade at the end of the month. I don't fear for the safety of the school, as Hagrid and myself will be the only ones there at that time, however, the village will need protecting, and I would like only five of you to volunteer to be there. I can not give the ministry any information on the attack, as it would put the person who gave me the tip off in danger, however, I would like it if five of you would be there, and Hagrid and I will assist you.

James: Count me in.

Lily: Ok then, I am too.

James: No Lily, you-

Remus: I'm coming.

Dumbledore: Remus we talked about this. You are to stay here, and I would like it if Ella stayed with you. Ella?

Ella: That's fine sir.

Dumbledore: Albus, please.

Cardoc: I'm going.

Sirius: And I.

Dani: I make five.

Sirius: No-

Dani: I make five Sirius, don't try and stop me….

Dumbledore: Well that settles it then. I would like to see you all later, without as much company, to discuss the nature of the attack. In addition, for those of you who have not heard I would like you to congratulate Ella and Remus. They are engaged!

Gideon: What about that stone Albus? The one that Voldermort was after?

Dumbledore: the heliotrope has been destroyed. Thanks to three of our number…

Fabian: Destroyed? Last we heard no one had any clue where it was!

Dumbledore: Lily James and Sirius tracked it down and destroyed it. It was a remarkable feat, one that involved a very close encounter with two Death Eaters.

Dorcas Meadows: Bloody hell.

Dumbledore: Yes indeed. I also would like it if two of our number would travel overseas, and try to induct foreign wizards and witches, and alert them of what is going on. Make them aware. Gideon? Fabian?

Gideon: Sure.

Dumbledore: I'll cast a charm on you that enables you to know the other languages, and you will have to work in secret. We also need someone to talk to the muggles, and come up with cover stories. It would be best if this person was muggle born, so I was thinking…Margaret?

Margaret: Glad to. Just tell me where to go and I'll be there.

Dumbledore: Fantastic. All of you. Thankyou so much for all of your help. I have to leave soon, I shall talk to the five coming to Hogsmeade and Hagrid, now, if you would like to go about your own things, thankyou for taking the time to come.

Scraping of chairs, and murmuring voices, and people leave the room.

Remus: I-

Ella: Remus!

They leave the room

Dumbledore: Is he going to be all right.

Lily: I don't know.

James: He's frustrated with this place. He wants to get out there. I know what he means.

Dumbledore: You know that I can't let him.

James: yeah, I know.

Dumbledore: Now, we have received the tip off this morning, I wont tell you how, but it's for certain that the attack is going ahead. Now, I didn't want to say so in front of everyone else, because of the spy, but I wasn't telling the truth about when I said that it was at the end of this month. That was so that the spy would think that we had been given false information, and Voldermort would not know that we knew about this particular attack. The attack really will not come until the beginning of next month, instead of the end of this one. I think that it is safe to say that he will still go ahead with it, so long as we make an appearance in Hogsmeade this month, to show that we are at the ready. His objective it seems, it to seize the town, and take the residents captive, or kill them, so that they can use the entire town as their base. Being so close to the school, and to me, it would be a useful little community for them to have, and I think that I am right in saying that, considering the nature and age of many who are living there, it wouldn't be hard to over run if it were done secretly. We have, however, got them headed off, and so it will be easy for us to stop the invasion, if we know what we are doing. Their plan is to tackle the Three broomsticks first, as the majority of the town will be there at that time of night anyway. Then they are going to take on the rest of the town, which includes-

James: Cassandra's

Dumbledore: Exactly. And the Hogshead. I think that it would be best not to tell Remus that his grandmother will be at risk.

Dani: Maybe she doesn't have to be…

Dumbledore: Yes?

Dani: Well, we know that we can trust Cass. I think that we should ask her to stay here, at least until we have the village secured.

Dumbledore: That might not be such a crazy idea. Will you visit her?

Dani: I don't know her, very well.

James: Sirius and I will do it first thing in the morning.

Dumbledore: Good job. And for the rest of it, can I trust that you will think of strategies, Brush up on your defence skills, and everything else?

Cardoc: We'll be fine Albus.

Dumbledore: I know. And I will be there. Send me messages through Lily each day, when she visits my office she will tell me. Cardoc, are you going to stay here until…

Cardoc: yes Albus.

Dumbledore: And another thing. With the attack being at the start of September, it will mean that the students will be at Hogwarts.Their second night in fact. I daresay my absence wont be noted, however, if we don't stop them soon then the school might be in danger.

Lily It is starting up again then sir?

Dumbledore: Oh yes. We aren't going to let Voldermort dictate our lives. We will fight, and what a better way to fight than to bring up a new year of students who know what is right.

James: And another group of Slytherins who don't.

Dumbledore: And that is exactly the kind of attitude that separates the houses from each other, and creates so much loss of live and lively hood. Maybe…you eight would understand it all better than anyone. I do wonder if you might be able to come up with things that would support some inter house unity, and assist among the students.

James: The day that the Slytheri-

Lily: We'll do our best sir, and get back to you, though I don't know how much good it will do, They all need to just realise that they're the same, really, under all the prejudice.

Dumbledore: Exactly. Now, I must be going, but maybe…maybe include Remus in that part of it all. He could come to the school, do that once in a while. I would have liked to have him be the defence teacher, however…

James: yes sir, we understand.

Dumbledore: And please don't call me sir. Albus, if you will. I'm not your professor anymore.

Lily: Yes sir.

Dumbledore: Albus.

Lily: Yes Albus sir.

James: Lily, stop talking.

Lily: Ok.

Dumbledore: Good. Thankyou, all of you. See you in the morning Lily.

Dumbledore leaves.

Lily: Come on Cardoc, I'll make you up a real bed. You can't sleep in that back room if your going to be staying here for a while.

Cardoc: Thankyou Lily.
