Hey all. Sorry about the long wait. I had orientation for college and it took me a long time to actually get onto my computer to prep it. Here you go. Chapter 11. Thanx to my reviewers too. (Luv ya)
Jon and Rose were having dinner at Rose's place that night. "I wonder what's taking Seth so long," Rose asked
looking at the clock. "Who cares, this is the first night that we're alone in the longest time," Jon said as they both
sat down to their food. "You're right. I'm just being a bit strange." They dug into their food and didn't talk for
awhile. The thing is that both of them never told the other what they saw in their dreams at night. They didn't tell
each other that they both had the same dreams involving the other and the small boy they both called Harry.
The one whom was in their dreams was currently sitting in an old bedroom looking out the window at the rain
falling. Remus had come up and spoken to him earlier in the afternoon. He explained that he hadn't written to
Harry because he was on a secret Order mission. He didn't seem at all upset but something in his eyes told him
that whatever it was, was important. And Dumbledore was talking to someone new to the Order named Seth.
Remus said he was important to his mission but wouldn't go into much detail about him. He wouldn't even
explain what he looked like or did for a living. Harry knew that he shouldn't get so upset over it. Sirius wouldn't
want that. That's why, with a long sigh, he got up and went to go play chess with Ron.
"So, how did it go," Remus asked Sirius. "Well, he says that now that I have my memories back and I'm not
dead then it'll be really easy to explain it to the Ministry and I can finally be free." The two men were currently
drinking some Firewhiskey in celebration as well as eating a bit. "He also said I can see Harry again the night of
the next meeting." "When is it?" As if to answer his question, a phoenix feather appeared on the table. "Tonight I
guess," Sirius said blandly. They both apparated right away. "Sirius, I called you two first so you could stand to
the corner and wait for me to introduce you," Albus said. Sirius nodded and went to one of the dark corners.
Albus and Remus took their seats and waited for others to arrive. Quickly everyone got there (Snape being the
last one) and the meeting began. "Severus, please report on the Death Eater activities," Albus said politely. The
man in the dark robes stood and cleared his throat. "The Dark Lord was not pleased with how the raid went.
He still doesn't trust me much but he wants all of his Death Eaters to be on their alert for a spy within their ranks
that alerted the Order that they were there." "Anything else," Albus asked. "Nothing," Snape said and sat down
again. "Typical Snape, trying to make everyone think he's doing the most important work as usual," Sirius
thought to himself. Kingsley and Tonks were next reporting on the Ministry. Kingsley on the Muggle and Tonks
on the Magic. Arthur gave his report on new departments in the Ministry (he'd been promoted to one of them).
Finally, Albus stood up. "Thank you for all of your reports. Now I have a few important last minute
announcements I'd like to make so all of you bear with me. First, there is currently a top secret mission that I
have in the process of being completed. I'm not going into full detail about it, but I would like everyone to turn
their attention to the left-hand corner please." Everyone turned in their seats and waited. After giving them ten
seconds, he slowly came away from the wall. "Hello everyone." "Merlin's beard," Arthur said. Molly and Tonks
came from their seats in order to check him closer. Mad-eye, Kingsley and Snape just sat where they were. The
other members just sat in shock. Finally Mad-eye stood up. "How're we so sure Albus that he's real and not
some Death Eater in disguise." Sirius rolled up his shirt sleeves, transformed into a dog and did his patronus
(which was also a dog). "Clear enough for me," Mad-eye said and sat down again. "Also, I'm going to be going
away for some time throughout the school year so I'm going to need a few people to guard the school at night."
"I'll do it," Tonks said eagerly. "Very well. Now if anyone has anything else to say (no one moved) then I'd like
to call the meeting to a close." Everyone got up, congratulated Sirius, and left. Only he, Remus, Tonks and
Albus remained. "Nymphadora, is there something on your mind," Albus asked. "No, actually I was hoping to
speak with Remus if he didn't mind for a few minutes." Judging by the look on Remus' face, this was something
he did not want but Sirius and Albus left the room none the less.
Once upstairs, Sirius looked to Albus with his puppy dog like eyes. "Well since I'm so sure that none of the
children are asleep anyway, why don't you go and tell Harry the good news." Sirius practically ran and was
quickly (and quietly) outside of their door where he of course heard people talking. He began to turn the knob
and heard them now running around and trying to make it look like they were asleep. He walked inside and the
lights were completely out. He went over to the bed that Harry had taken up the year before and leaned over to
Harry's ear. "Harry, wake up." Like a shot, Harry jumped and yelped before searching in the darkness for his
glasses. This of course woke Ron up who turned on a light. "Bloody hell," was Ron's exclamation. Harry finally
put on his glasses and gave a long sad sigh. "I'm having that dream again dammit!" "No Harry, if this was a
dream then I wouldn't be seeing this either," Ron said. Ginny and Hermione came into the room to see what all
the noise was. "It can't be," Hermione said. Ginny just brought her hands to her mouth and gasped. "Sirius, is it
really you," Harry finally asked. "In the flesh, kiddo." Harry jumped up and gave him a huge hug. "I thought you
were really gone." "Don't worry, it'll take more then drapes to do me in." "But, how," Hermione asked. "I really
have no idea but just know I'm back." He let go of Harry and walked to the door. "Harry, guys, I can't really
say much but I'm going on a mission for the Order with Remus. If you want to write to me, I'm leaving my
address and phone number. This is very important Harry and while I'm away I don't want you to worry or try
and find me. It's not dangerous, it's just something we need to do. If we succeed then we'll have two new Order
members within the next few weeks. I'll try and stop by though as often as I can. I'm sorry I have to leave you
after just getting back. Good luck though." With all that said, he gave a quick smile and wave and left the four
teens standing there. He met Remus downstairs. "What's with you," he asked for Remus looked a bit upset
about something. "It's nothing, ready to go." Quickly Sirius conjured a piece of paper and a quill (Albus gave
him his wand back) and wrote something before addressing it to Harry. "Ready." The two men apparated out.
Hope you had fun. Classes start on Monday so I hope to have the next chapter up by next weekend. Reviews are desperatelywanted. Write something please. Hope to hear from you soon.
