"GINNY!" Molly Weasley yelled at noon on August 23rd as the floo turned on.
"Coming Mum!" Ginny said, running down stairs in a pair of muggle pants and a cannons t-shirt, her red hair tied back in a loose bun.
"I made you some sandwiches dear, I left them in the kitchen. Now your sure you'll be okay? I'll just be in the market for a little bit."
"No worries Mum. I'm just having some chums over. Thanks!" Ginny said, practically shoving Mrs. Weasley out the door as the first of her friends came through, Colin Creevey, followed by his brother Dennis.
"Hey guys!" Ginny said, giving both Gryffindor boys friendly hugs.
"Hey Gin!" Colin said, "So what's this about?"
"I'll get to it as soon as every one else arrives," Ginny replied as the flames roared to life and out stepped Blaise Zabini, 7th year Slytherin.
"What he's doing here!" Colin asked.
"Colin, Dennis, Blaise is a friend of mine and I expect you to treat him as such," Ginny said, welcoming the Slytherin the same way she had the other two boys, Blaise stayed stiff in her arms.
"Will you ever loosen up?" Ginny asked, Blaise gave a short smile.
"Maybe one day Ginerva," Blaise responded as Ginny swatted him.
"I told you not to call me that!" Ginny said as Seamus Finnegen stepped out who stared at the Slytherin wearily, followed by Victoria Frobisher a 6th year Gryffindor, Hannah Abbott, Susan Bones, Daphne Greengrass and the Patil twins, soon the 11 of them where all sitting around the Burrow's living room, eating the sandwiches that Mrs. Weasley had left for them.
"Alright Gin so not that this isn't great or anything but what the bloody hell are we doing here?" Seamus asked, speaking for every one.
"Alright, calm down," Ginny said calmly, "and I'll get right to the point then. Simply I have called you all here because I trust you. You ten have been a good friends to me since I've been in Hogwarts. Now I'll tell you I am planning of going up against Voldemort so before I go further there is the floo," Ginny said pointing towards the fireplace, "if your not willing to help because of fear or any other reason feel free to leave now, no feelings hurt alright. But if you stay your in."
No one moved and Ginny had a small smile.
"So," Blaise said, "what are you on about, going against the Dark Lord is suicide. Shouldn't you leave this to Potter."
Every one else there besides Ginny and Daphne seemed ready to attack Blaise.
"Harry," Ginny said, "has his own business to attend to as do I. We had a disagreement on how this should be ran so lets just say I've taken a freelancing approach," Ginny replied.
"Listen guys, I know many of you aren't friends, and may distrust each other so I have drawn this up," Ginny said pulling out a piece of parchment.
"It's a magical binding contract. You sign it and know that if you betray any of us in any way there will be dire consequences." Ginny said threatening.
"Like the one Hermione drew up in fifth year?" Colin asked.
"Yes," Ginny said going through what this meant.
"Read it aloud," Victoria asked.
Ginny nodded and read,
I hereby promise to remain loyal to one Ginny Weasley and all those she entrust upon the threat of lose of my magic.
Ginny finished, though the sentence was simple the time and money she had put into the drawing of this contract had not been small.
"I've already signed. So whose next?" Ginny asked, holding up a quill.
"I think that I will," Susan Bones said stepping up and taking the quill she signed her name.
"Well is Susan can I think I can as well," Hannah Abbott said.
Colin and his brother went next followed by Seamus and Victoria.
"Well if you Gryffindors and Huffelpuffs can do it so can I," Daphne Greengrass said, followed by a silent Blaise and the Patil twins.
"Alright then lets get down to business," Ginny said, every one nodded in agreement.
"Lets see now, we head back to school in a week. I have a simple plan, we build an army."

Harry sat at the kitchen table with Ron, and his Aunt in silence eating breakfast and waiting for Moody, Arthur Weasley and Lupin to turn up to go over several things, some pertaining to the Order. Mean while Harry was going over the written list Hermione had come up with for the Horcruxes.
Known Horcruxes- Location
Marvolo Gaunt's ring Hogwarts
Diary Destroyed
Salazar Slytherin's Locket Unknown
Helga Huffelpuff's goblet Unkown
Possible Horcruxes-
Nagina
Something belonging to
Godric Gryffindor
Rowena Ravenclaw
Now Harry knew they where missing one horcrux, he believed for only one would be of Gryffindor's or Ravenclaw's leaving the last to be unknown.
"Harry, earth to Harry," Ron said, waiving his hand in front of his friends face.
"Uh yeah?" Harry said.
"Hermione thinks she's found something in the library about how to destroy the horcruxes," Ron said, both boys tore out of the kitchen and up into the Potter library.
"Hey Hermione," both boys said, sitting next to her as she held open the large book looking tome.
"Well what did you find?" Harry asked.
"I'll read it," Hermione said,
"...the only way to destroy the horcrux is by use of following your heart..."
"And?" Ron said.
"That's it," Hermione said.
"Follow your heart," Harry said.
"Well that's simple but then why did the ring destroy Dumbledore's hand?" Ron asked.
"Because he didn't destroy it, but this isn't simple. Following your heart? What if my heart said give the blasted thing to Voldy! That wouldn't be helpful!" Harry said.
"Alright mate calm down! We will figure this out. But I think I just heard my dad, they must of just arrived." Ron said, Harry nodded.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"An army!" Padma said.
"Are you crazy Ginny?" Hannah asked!
"This is insane!" Seamus said.
"I like the idea," Blaise said.
"Alright calm down!" Ginny said, every one fell silent.
"Listen you all know there is a secret Order that already opposes Voldemort as well as you know that Harry Potter is forming to fight Voldemort and the death eaters but they are not enough. The secret Order is old and out dated, and Harry and his friends are neither strong enough or have the time to build what they need, but we do. We can join the students together, have a working, efficient army and when the time comes we can fight Voldemort, defend our families and friends. I know we're just students but it's time for use to grow up. I trust all of you and I think together we can make an army that could fight, fight and win," Ginny finished.
"Well," Daphne said, "I'm in."

"Are you sure you'll be okay Aunt Petunia?" Harry asked early in the morning on September 1st.
"I'll be fine Harry. I'm taking over muggle studies at Hogwarts. Now you just remain safe alright. I know I'm a horrible guardian but please just be safe."
"As safe as I can," Harry said, waiving good bye as Missy took her to Hogwarts.
"Alright are we packed?" Harry asked to Ron and Hermione.
"Yeah mate, three back packs, each filled with two changes of cloths, bed material, food, money, both muggle and magical, maps, books, your invisible cloak, and parchment. I think that's it," Ron said.
"Alright then, lets get our broom and cloaks and then I guess we go." Harry said.
"We're heading towards London first," Hermione said looking at a map, "to the orphanage where Riddle grew up."
"What do you think we'll find there?" Ron asked.
"Well one of the horcruxes, I believe Hufflepuff's goblet." Hermione replied, writing something down in a muggle notebook.
"Ready guys?" Harry asked.
"Let's go kick Voldie's arse!"
"Language Ronald! But I agree! Let's do it!" Hermione said strongly.

"Mr. Longbottom! Nice to meet you! I'm Griselda Marchbanks and was a good friend of your grandmum's. Welcome aboard young lad. Will you be sitting with us today's case?"
"Nice to meet you ma'am. Yes I am, it's my job now isn't it."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Hey Luna!" Ginny said sitting on the train with her friend.
Luna looked at her friend and with no change of her dreamy expression said, "My loyalty is to the fight against Voldemort. It be nice to help you to Ginny."
"How'd you..." Ginny started to say but shook her head, "I'd like that Luna."
The blonde girl smile, "So would I."

After the first years where sorted and the feast consumed Headmistress McGonagall stood up.
"Welcome students new and old to another year of school. First please welcome returning Professor Slughorn who will be continuing with his position as Professor of potions. Next please welcome Professor Dursley who has taken the muggle teaching position. Professor Aberforth Dumbledore who is taking over transfiguration and has asked you'd please call him Professor Aberforth. And last Professor Tonks who will be taking the position of defense against the dark arts, assisted by former teachers, Professor Lupin and Professor Moody," McGonagall paused, taking a deep breath.
"Last year our school, we have suffered a great lost. A dear friend, teacher and mentor was taken from us in the worst of times. Lord Voldemort still reigns and it will be left upon us to fight the evil and darkness that is trying to consume us. But as a wise man once said, 'All that it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing!' so I ask you to honor Albus Dumbledore and fight against the darkness that has started to invade! Now finish up, class start tomorrow." McGonagall said, sitting down.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Professor McGonagall,
For obvious reasons this letter must remain unsigned but I thought...or more over my friend has behooved me (her words not mine) to write to you. We are setting out to fulfill what Professor Dumbledore intrusted me with. In his office, next the Godric's sword sits a ring in a brown case. I ask you wrap it up securely and please give it the house elf I sent this with (her name is Missy). She will bring it to a secure location till such time it can be properly destroyed. Thank you Professor and do not worry.
The young Marauders
