Author's Note: I have the next chappie nearly worry. This was just to get the story flowing so don't worry, there IS a plot. And a plan.

Behind The Veil
ZZZZ
As Albus Dumbledore walked into Grimmauld Place, he looked over at everyone in the room.
Remus was talking to Molly while Arthur was whispering to Tonks and Bill. Many others were just chatting to each other.
Almost unnoticed in the corner was Severus Snape. Severus had always been a loner, preferring to sit in the shadows. He was dozing quietly with his head resting against the wall.
'Unusual,' Albus thought. 'Very worrying.' "Ahem."
"Hello, Albus," Molly greeted.
"Hello. How is everyone this fine evening?" he said louder than necessary.
Severus jerked awake.
Albus saw he was awake and continued. "I think we should begin the meeting." He smiled. "Is everyone here…? Okay, let's start."
It was only three weeks after Sirius Black had died. Feelings were running high and emotions were raw.
"Severus, is there anything to report from the meetings?" Dumbledore asked.
Snape, whose head had started to droop, jerked up. "No Headmaster. Voldemort has been quiet about any plans he might be making and has called very little meetings. In fact none in the last eight days."
"Very well. I suppose we can take that as good news. Voldemort has not gotten what he wanted from the Ministry."
Remus and some others looked pained as the Ministry was mentioned.
Dumbledore continued. "Any other news? Anyone… no? Okay then, I do have some news. There has been another prediction," he paused as people leaned forward in anticipation.
"That curious Veil we encountered at the Ministry," he looked sympathetic as Remus let out a quiet whimper. "Unless it is moved, Voldemort will find his own uses for it. And unfortunately it will not bode well for our side. It is imperative that we get it before they do. Now I know people are still raw after we lost Sirius but a plan must be made! Now."
Well please review. Next chapter coming soon.
