In the kitchen of Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place in the year 1995, the Order of the Phoenix were currently holding a meeting, in which they were discussing various missions, such as the progress that Hagrid was making in gaining the alliance of the giants.

Out on the first-floor landing, six teenagers were stood around a stretched, flesh like string, that was one of the Weasley twins' inventions; extendable ears, a means to eavesdrop on unsuspecting victims to gain important information. They were currently using the extendable ears to listen in on the order meeting.

As they listened, they could just about hear Severus Snape's cold, clipped tones when suddenly, a deafening explosion could be heard from the floor above, shaking the very foundations of the house. The explosion caused portraits to fall off walls and various objects to shatter as they were displaced from shelves around the house.

As soon as they heard the thunderous bang, the twelve Order members present in the kitchen, drew their wands, and moved swiftly into the hallway, where the portrait of Mrs Black, screamed profanities about the Mudblood's and blood traitors ruining her home. Ignoring the portrait, the Order, led by Mad-Eye Moody, quickly headed up to the first floor, where they were met by six shocked looking teens.

Upon seeing her twin sons, Mrs Weasley, automatically thought that they were responsible for whatever had caused the noise and flew into action demanding answers:

"FRED, GEORGE WHAT DID YOU DO," She yelled at them accusingly.

Before either of the twins could answer her question, their mother went off again, screaming hysterically, her skin turning a deep shade of red:

"I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU DID, YOU WERE EXPERIMENTING AGAIN WEREN'T YOU, TRYING TO MAKE MORE PRODUCTS FOR YOUR STUPID JOKE SHOP, INSTEAD OF STUDYING, SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE RESPECTABLE JOBS AT THE MINISTRY, LIKE YOUR BROTHER PERCY."

Mrs Weasley physically deflated, upon mentioning her son, who had recently turned his back on the family, favouring the ministry instead.

Timidly due to the fear his mum invoked within him but seething with anger about what she had said regarding their dreams, Fred stepped towards his mother, George following, a step behind him. Knowing that whatever caused the sound couldn't be good, the twins put the anger they felt towards their mother to the back of their minds, as they began to speak:

"Mum Fred and I" George began,

"Didn't cause the exploding noise" Fred continued,

"We've been here with these guys" stated George,

"Since the beginning of the meeting" continued Fred,

"The noise came from the floor above" they finished together.

Some of the Order members who didn't know the twins looked flabbergasted, at their twin speech but most, especially those who were currently residing in the house, became high alert at the mention, of the noise coming from the floor above. The aforementioned floor of the House of Black, was currently uninhabitable as it had yet to be cleared since Sirius's return, to his childhood home. Telling the teens to stay where they were, to be on alert, and a final "constant vigilance" from Moody, the Order preceded, up to the next floor in a tight formation, mentally preparing for whatever they had to face.

Once they reached the next floor, the Order took note of their surroundings. Ahead of them was a dark corridor, with deep green walls and a black marble floor that was covered with layers of dust, collected over the years of the house been uninhabited. On either side of the corridor, seven black doors stood evenly placed and as though they were carved in stone. The hall was eerily silent, in comparison to the noise that had obviously come from this floor, not ten minutes before.

Moving cautiously along the corridor, they stopped at the first two doors casting, Homenum Revelio as well as many other reviling spells on both before entering and declaring the rooms clear. This continued until the fourth set of doors at which, Homenum Revelio picked up that there were 24 ½ human lives within the room at the left of the corridor.

Knowing that they would be roughly two on one in the enemies' favour, Mad Eye raised his wand to blast the door off its hinges, when they heard, the unmistakeable sound of child whimpering from within.

"Alastor don't! There is obviously a child inside, you could hurt it if you blast the door." Mrs Weasley said in a hushed whisper.

"Molly its trickery, a group of people managed to enter this house, which is under Fidelius Charm, they must be practicing dark magic to achieve that, as I'm sure Albus hear hasn't given out the location of the Order of the Phoenix, willy-nilly." Alastor Moody said in a grave voice.

"He's right Molly only us, the children downstairs and about five other people have access to this location, and I haven't told anyone else, meaning that whoever is on the other side of that door is no friend to us." Dumbledore spoke in a knowing voice before turning to Moody and telling him to continue.

Moody raised his wand and whispered "Expulso", causing the door to explode into millions of pieces that, drifted to the floor like confetti. Not one of them was ready for the scene that lay before them…
