Chapter Four: Order Meeting

Harry and Hermione walked out of Hermione's room just to see Ron, Ginny and Luna walking their way. He waved at them and before he could say anything, Ron shouted, "You have kids!" Harry glared at him and shook his head.

"No, I don't have kids. They were found on my doorstep and I took them in. I'm adopting them later on though."

"Oh, that's nice Harry." Ginny said, smiling. "Where are they now? Their not with you it seems."

"They're sleeping in Hermione's room. They fell asleep instantly when we started talking."

"Does the girl have red curly hair? And the boy brown dark hair?" Luna asked her dreamily. Harry hesitantly nodded. "They're not asleep anymore." She said and pointed behind Harry's back where two small heads were poking out of Hermione's room tiredly.

"Dadda," Korbin said and Lily put her hands out in front of her, waiting to be picked up.

"I thought you two were asleep," Harry stated. Korbin and Lily shook their heads. Harry walked over to them and picked them up, Lily on his right hip Korbin on his left. "I guess we'll face the screaming together then."

"She's so cute," Ginny said, looking at Lily's curls. "You're really lucky to have Harry as a daddy, you know that?" Korbin shook his head, not really knowing what was going on, but doing it anyway. But Lily looked at her with confusion while trying to hide her head in Harry's robes.

"Lily, isn't it?" Luna asked the girl. Lily instantly looked over at her and smiled and put her arms up to be held.

"How did you know that?" Ron and Hermione asked her. Luna walked over to them and pulled Lily into her arms and smiled down at her. It was weird for all of them since Luan never really showed affection towards human beings that well.

"Sirius was talking about it crazily downstairs,"

"But you weren't downstairs," Ron said.

"Yes I was." And that's all she would say on the subject. "Come, we should go now. Sirius and the rest of the Order are waiting for us." She said and began walking down the hall. The rest of them ran to catch up: Harry, the farthest, standing next to Ginny who was smiling at him.

"What?" he asked confused at her smile.

"It's just so cute that you finally found a family that you can really love,"

"I love my family, the Weasley's too Gin,"

"Not that much. You don't look at us like you do with your own children."

"Well, they're small and delicate. They even had Death Eaters as parents –"

"But you look through that, don't you?" Ginny asked him as they went down the stairs. She smiled when she saw Harry nod.

"I didn't even really care this morning when I began getting them ready for school. Quite a surprise for me since I always see Death Eaters and their sons in a different light."

"Yes, you do." She said. "And Draco, you saw him in a different light also."

"Especially when he asked McGonagall if we could protect him and his mother, even Lucius, like Dumbledore promised. I was there when he asked. Although he didn't say really anything to me, I knew he was trying to say he was sorry by the way he looked at me as he arrived, tumbling out of the fireplace."

Finally Harry watched as Luna, Ron and Hermione file into the kitchen where the meeting was being held. Harry only caught a glimpse of the people inside the kitchen before the swinging door closed and it was only Korbin, Harry and Ginny out in the hall.

As Ginny walked towards the door, she turned and smirked at him before opening it wide for the three of them to get in. Harry walked in, and looked at everyone inside the room: Sirius, Remus, Snape, and Draco, McGonagall, Moody, Tonks (Lupin), and most of the Weasley's. Harry sat down beside Luna and Remus and put Korbin on his lap and looked at everyone.

"Nice seeing you again Draco," she heard Luna say beside him.

"That's Harry's daughter, am I right?" he drawled. Harry looked over on Luna's side where Draco sat, papers strewn over the table in front of him.

"She's mine, yes. Her name's Lily,"

"After your Mum," Draco affirmed and Harry nodded. "That's nice." He said and then went back to looking at his papers for the Order and Ministry, although he was still too young to be meddling with them, but since he was the only Malfoy still in charge, he was the one who did it.

"Well, it's nice seeing you back here again Harry. I hope you're alright with the apartment." Mr. Weasley asked him.

"It's nice I guess. But I may have to get a larger one at the end of the year. I'll need another room for Lily and Korbin." He said, tousling the boy's brown hair. Korbin chuckled and took Harry's hand into his own. "Now, I heard something about Bellatrix a few days ago from Charlie?" he asked the older members.

"Yes," Moody said. "She escaped as you very well know. But we heard that she's been hiding around Wheekly."

"That's where Nott lives," Hermione said. "He's still loyal to Vol – " she looked at Moody's cold stare and finished, " -- demort, though. So she could be going after him because he killed Rodolphus or just to know where Voldemort is."

"We believe so," Bill Weasley said and leaned back in his chair.

"When you're all in school we're going to try to set up Order members around Hogwarts like we did last year." Remus said.

"Why?" Ginny asked. "Because you think they're after Harry again? Everyone's after Harry."

"Well that yes," Sirius smirked. "We all know that Harry's on Voldemort's number one list of foes." He glanced across at Harry from his chair to see his godson scowling at him. "But it's not just for Harry's protection: I believe he can take care of himself – "

"Damn right I can – " Luna suddenly hit Harry in the shoulder. "What was that for?"

"Stop swearing in front of innocent ears Harry. That's not good for children."

"Oh, sorry then." He looked back at Sirius, smiling in a strange sort of way. "So, I guess there's a more logical means of why you're putting yourselves in danger in front of Hogwarts, am I right?" About everyone laughed.

"Mr. Potter," McGonagall said and everyone turned towards her. "We believe that there are Death Eaters at Hogwarts," she looked over at Draco, "and that it why we have Malfoy coming back to Hogwarts, which I strongly disagreed. But he'll be our ears. But now since I heard you have two other people to protect I believe that you won't be so handy – "

"Of course I can be!" he shouted, almost ready to stand up. "And if you think I can't be then maybe I should quick Hogwarts and live on my own in some distant country where I can watch blindly how you are all going on fine without me!" he huffed.

"Harry," Mrs. Weasley said, her voice almost soothing. "We know you want to be with Lily and Korbin, but maybe you should leave them with someone else and come see them on Christmas Break. It'll be easier on all of us – "

"Yeah sure," Harry said, holding more tightly to Korbin and looking over at Lily's eyes which were boring into his own. "It'll be easier on yourselves, not my own. It'll be easy for me. I swear it. And I know my friends will help me through it."

"Of course we will Harry," Hermione said, speaking for all his friends.

"I will Harry," Luna said, stroking Lily's hair. Harry then looked back at the older members, whom all sighed.

"I guess you can take them with you to Hogwarts Mr. Potter," McGonagall said, seeming tired. "But, I don't want you to be slacking off. If you need tutor's I will arrange them for you on nights when it is appropriate. I'll have your schedules handed to you tomorrow by owl. Now, I think I should be going back to the school. Are you coming Severus?" Severus looked over at Harry and his eyes traveled to his twins and then he nodded and stood up, walking out of the house with the Headmistress, apparating with a quick POP!

"Well, that was entertaining, wasn't it Lily?" Luna asked the young child. Lily nodded her head in reply while Harry leaned back, ready for the next day already.
