Chapter 33

August 15th, 1995

The day Hermione and Alicia had arrived, was the best weekend any of the Hogwarts Students had nearly all summer, there entire group was complete. The Weasley's, Harry, Hermione and Draco. Even Alicia had joined them with Amos present.

After his son had been killed Amos had become determined to see those responsible burn.

Ginny blushed, jumping right at Draco, her arms wrapping around him in a hug, "Glad you're alright."

"Wow, never saw that coming," Ron laughed.

Harry grinned with his arms still wrapped around a happily smiling Alicia. She was also glad to be back with her friends and family with her back in Harry's arms.

Remus coughed into his arm, moving closer to his friend then whispered to Sirius, "Is it just me or is that another form of you and Emma and Lily and James?" he said with a bit of a joke. His words received a round of laughter from his friend. They all knew they saw history repeating itself in a good way, thankfully.

"Let's eat, then we can have our meeting." Sirius laughed. He'd been keeping his eyes on Tonks lately, she seemed to have grown a crush for his dear friend. Sirius knew Dora didn't care about the age difference, but he also knew Remus, and he knew his dear friend would use the fifteen, nearly twenty years age difference against her at all odds to run her away.

Once the kids were upstairs and out of ear shot, or so they thought, the Order's meeting began. Arguments erupting with stern and serious discussion ensued. Severus was the most to be speaking against half their ideas to set into motion, simply because he knew what the Dark Lord and his followers were thinking. He had eyes and ears inside personally and his hands deep in the problems.

"None of you happen to be thinking of the casualties you'll be causing with half of your ideas! Do you truly suspect that he does not have his own set of eyes and ears in Hogwarts? Dumbledore already has suspects, and unfortunately, they're apart of the student body! My own House is infested with his followers no thanks to that Malfoy boy! I mean it when I say Draco is lucky, he had been moved houses, I wasn't so lucky. Neither are the younger ones still there and those that will be sorted into that house in the near future. The Slytherin House is supposed to represent cunning and achievements, not a house to be feared! He even has his teeth in Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw! No house is safe, not even Gryffindor." Severus barked with irritation and disappointment, "These are students you'll be endangering Black! At least Lupin has some kind of idea to not include the student population!"

"Shh, keep your voices down!" Molly warned, trying to keep her own voice down, thought it had all been for so little. The kids could hear every word they spoke.

"I was not planning to involve children in the first place Snape! I was simply insinuating that we ask the higher grades to join us. Not children." Sirius clarified. Unfortunately, Snape was not willing to hear any of it, "They are still children! We cannot fight him and his followers, who I will gladly remind you, are grown adults with skills, deadly skills! And mad men at that! You'll be sending lambs to the slaughterhouse! Set your eyes on the older population and away from my students! Find those who have skills and experience!"

Sirius, ignoring Molly's warning continued on with a tired sigh, "We have to act now! He's growing stronger by the minute. I will not let these kids grow up in anymore of this lifestyle than they already have. The older ones are already aware of the darkness, already aware of Voldemort's return. Fudge is a fool and is refusing to see the signs. We have to start recruiting, we need people to fight with us and at the rate the dark forces are gaining followers we'll need an army." Sirius shouted, with a heavy sigh he did not want to involve children, but now a days there were only teenagers and those few in his and Emma's generation that were willing to stand against Voldemort, which wasn't a lot of people.

"You will not bring Harry or Draco into this Sirius Black-"

"Emma-"

"No! He is not James, Sirius. I'm not losing the last thing we have left of James and Lily, nor will I risk Draco or the other's!"

Sirius loved his wife, he knew she had to hear what he knew none of them were going to like, "He's old enough to decide himself, instead of babying the boys why don't you let them decide if want they to fight!" He hadn't meant to shout, but her constant nagging and worrying was overwhelming sometimes. With a defeated sigh Sirius sank back into his chair, he'd seen her jaw clenched tightly and her shoulders breathing in deeply, trying to keep herself calm, "I'm sorry… Emma, but they are all old enough to make the choice, just like you and Gabby did. If you can decide to join your fourth year, FOURTH year Emma, why can they not choose their fifth year or later on? I don't want to lose any of them any less than any of you. Yes, they are young. Kids? Yes, but they are also growing. Molly, Fred and George have already joined, Bill and Charlie have also- of course, against your wishes, they're your children and you don't want to lose them. But we don't want to see our children and grandchildren to grow up in a community ran by mad men and power-hungry dark wizards that'll kill you simply for standing your ground in what you believe is right. Sacrifices of one's life or childhood is sometimes necessary; our young ones are no longer as innocent as they should have been, nor should still be, because of Voldemort. Harry and the others can help us, eyes and ears."

"Oh yes, involve the boy, maybe he'll grow up to be just like that golden father of his-"

"You leave James out of this Snivellus!" Sirius bit out, a hard glare at him

"Sirius, Severus! Enough, the both of you." The woman spoke up, Tonks had grabbed ahold of Remus's arm after seeing him move beside Sirius once Snape had begun snapping. Felling a small hand on his forearm, Remus had glanced down, traveled his eyes up to a young Nymphadora Tonks, who had begun blushing as soon as he began staring at her.

However, Snape had continued on, mouthing on about James and the rest of the Marauder's for being fools to have ever trusted Peter Pettigrew. To everyone's shock, Sirius never had the chance to say a word, he was simply going to defend their trust and agree with Snape, but it was Remus who had been the one that had jumped from around Sirius and aimed straight for Snape with fire in his eyes.

"REMUS!" Sirius and Emma both shouted after their friend. Tonks had been the faster, putting herself between Snape and an angry Remus Lupin, but in the process, he had accidentally struck her as she took both herself and Remus down onto the floor, knocking Snape back into a nearby chair. The sudden contact Tonks had taken from Remus had come about in a bloody lip, something she was no stranger to in her line of work.

The moment Remus and realized he had not only hit Tonks, but he had also drawn blood, he'd paled as his stomach flipped with the desire to vomit as he begun fretting and fussing over her, "Dora, I'm so sorry,"

"It's fine, Remus." Her tone was small and soft, she was trying her best not to look at him. Even though she was used to getting hurt on the job she had a heart throbbing crush on Remus John Lupin and the sudden interaction that had happened had caused tears to water her eyes, "Please excuse me." She whispered, heading out of the kitchen and dining area.

Remus had moved for the retreating young woman. He hadn't meant to harm her. However, when someone puts themselves between you and the one you want to hurt many a times they would get hurt in the process. Yet seeing he'd actually hurt Tonks, had him feeling as if he'd been gutted.

He'd given a shocked and worried look when Mad-Eye had moved in front of the door, blocking his way after Tonks, "Leave her for a while Remus, she's fine… She's an Auror, Tonks is used to much worse." Alastor said clearly. He knew Remus hadn't meant to hurt her, but she was an Auror and she still needed to toughen up just a little more. She was skilled and very talented, this was part of the title that Auror's held, on and off the job.

As Tonks made her way towards the bathroom up the stairs, she froze mid stride when she found all of the young teenagers in the stairway watching her. Not wanting to speak to anyone at the moment, she quickly continued on her way up and make her way past them.

Ginny and Hermione had worry clear on their face, Ginny made a move for the usually cheerful young woman, "Tonks-"

"I'm fine, really." Quickly making her way into the closest bathroom to clean up her lip and calm her shaking nerves.

"Think she's really okay?" Alicia asked with soft concern as Tonks shut the dot to the nearest restroom.

"She will be, come on. We should be getting to bed. I think we've heard enough tonight." George clarified, there was no room for discussion as the twins made sure everyone was heading into their rooms, whether it was in a group or alone, they didn't care, just as long as the halls were empty and remained that way.

August 26th, 1995

Sirius sighed, rubbing his face tiredly, they finally had all the second generation there at Grimmauld Place, now all they had to do was explain a few things, then it was their choice.

Emma and Molly had sat down the other night and cooled themselves down from a few nights ago. Now that everyone was under the firm agreement that they did not want them to join the Order. It was still the teens choice, and it was theirs to make.

Sirius had pointed out a good point, Emma and Gabrielle had in fact agreed to help their fourth year, their fifth year they were members, then Marlene and Gabby's family was attacked and wiped out, Gabrielle was the only survivor.

Sirius didn't want to involve them, it was the lowest and last thing he'd ever wanted to do, but their choice was theirs, especially once they would be finished talking to them, they weren't children any longer, those in the room; they were young adults or teenagers, capable of their own choices, "We asked you all here, not because we want you to join the Order, in fact we first beginning members really wish we not involve you at all. However, with the way things are turning we're afraid we may have too-"

"Sirius, be careful of how much you say." Mad-Eye interrupted. He had a sinking feeling he didn't much care for settling in his stomach and it was making his sick. Alastor couldn't help the stern and sour look about him, this was the last thing any of them wanted to do, but Sirius was right, with the way things were going they were going to have to start including them, simple students at a school still, Fred and George he could understand, but even that still didn't make this any easier for them.

"We have been given information that Voldemort is on the move, not only for Followers, which has grown in the last few months, but in dark Magical objects. Draco, your cousin has been helping them recruit in the school itself. These things that are happening, the numbers Voldemort has already recruited, dark objects being created or stolen from high security facilities and magical historical museums, schools being overrun by his followers giving Voldemort the means to get his dirty hooks into young minds to corrupt and the sudden deaths of those who had gone missing he's either torturing for information or has likely already killed. But… We believe Voldemort is after something this time," Sirius paused for a moment to breath, he hated telling them this, the look on their faces was that of shock and horror. But what frightened him most was the steel like determination and slight fear on Harry's, Draco's and Alicia's face, they were afraid yes, but at that moment Sirius didn't see them, he saw the faces of James, himself and Lily. Their determination was the exact same mindset as the three had themselves when they'd decided to join the Order their last year, "Something he didn't have last time." His eyes moved to Molly and Emma, they looked frightened.

"We're in," Harry said, "Well, at least I am." He clarified.

"No, Harry's right, we're in." Draco said, glancing at Alicia who nodded, "Yes, I'm in. He and his followers killed my brother and my cousin-"

"No! Alicia, I lost my son, I will not lose my niece as well. You're all I have left." Amos spoke up, everyone could fully understand why he was so against it, none of them, not even Alicia, blamed him for it, but she would be damned before she stepped aside and let everyone else fight this war and her not contribute anything.

With a sigh, Alicia nodded with understanding, but she was doing this with or without his permission. "Uncle Amos, if we sit back and do nothing, Cedric's death would not have been fought for. He died because he stood his ground against someone that he knew had skills ahead of him, because a friend was in a life-threatening danger. He was killed for being himself and fighting for something he believed in, to them he was just in the way, but he was more than that. My brother was murdered in cold blood, the family estate burned to the ground, and my family's money was stolen to fuel their needs. The need of those who are fighting for a Dark world under the rule of someone who wants nothing but power and fear and death in his wake. My cousin, your son, were murdered trying to stop them from raising this monster from his weakened state. I will not stand aside and doing nothing when I know I can at least help with mending wound and fighting if I have too. Those viol people are nothing but cowards if they're going to attack children and drain others livelihood from them and their family. And I am not a coward. I am a Bonnet and a Diggory, they will reap the day they decided it was alright to hurt my family."

'Talk about a speech, Nice one Ally.' Many thoughts with wide smiles as they listened to her. Harry and Amos couldn't help but feel their hearts swelling up with pride for the young woman. And what a woman she would make in her future.

Sirius was impressed, she had brains and courage. She had Amos smiling weakly, though he was full of pride, his sister and nephew had done astonishing with raising her. They had raised her right and good. For that, he was proud he had found her, had he not Amos had no idea where he'd be after his son had been killed.

"Now, you were saying something about something Voldemort didn't have last time? Is it some kind of weapon he has the ability to use?" Alicia asked Sirius, she had gone right back to the previous conversation.

This had taken many off guard, though Sirius grinned and held back his light laughter, "Uh, yes, of some sort. If he gets his hands on it, then he can achieve many things and we are down ten steps from him with him halfway to a makeshift throne."

"We're in," Hermione and Ron spoke up together, both smiling to one another as they did it, both trying not to laugh. They all saw the blush on Hermione's face as Ron glanced off out of the corner of his eye at her when she turned her attention back to a smirking Ginny as she gave Hermione a knowing look.

"What?" Hermione asked the young Weasley sister, a faint blush on her cheeks.

"Nothing" Ginny said with a few shakes of her head, her eyes finding a grinning Tonks. At least they found something to smile and laugh about during that meeting, all of the Adults were under the impression it was going to be a full-on hard decision and conversation with tension they could probably cut with a butcher's knife.

August 28th, 1995

The Hearing had been long and frightening, Arthur had informed Harry he could not go in with him and Draco. He had suggested Emma and Sirius do their best to let Harry defend himself, "Dumbledore will be here shortly, good luck though Harry." He'd really just wished him luck because they had spotted Fudge speaking off in the corner down one of the halls with none other than Lucius Malfoy. Draco had sent a glare towards his father, who'd simply stuck his nose up at them and continued on with Fudge.

After an hour of Harry being verbally attacked and none of them, not even Fudge, seeing why Harry had used magic in the Muggle world underage and in front of Dudley Draco had jumped from his seat and shouted, "I was there I was a witness! Those blasted things came out of nowhere attacking myself, Harry and his daft cousin, a muggle no less. I was incapacitated, completely useless. Had Harry not fought back when he had there would be one dead muggle boy and one dead young wizard and a half mad one because he'd have lost another family member and one of his friends! How is this court hearing even fair in any means? The only thing you lot care about is degrading and expelling a young wizard who stood his ground and saved not only his own life but two others as well!" Draco barked, outraged at their belief on this.

"SILENCE!" Fudge shouted, red in the face, but Draco stood his ground. Fudge had begun attacking Harry that had angered him to no end, but when he began breaking down Mrs. Figg's testimony, Draco had lost it and had done all he could without having an angry shouting match, Umbridge also was not helping, her little squeaky laugh was really beginning to get annoying.

Emma and Sirius had done their part to staying seated and as silent as possible, but the moment Draco took a stand they did their best not to laugh. Draco was in the right to stand for what he knew was right and wrong, unfortunately he was not in the chair for his testimony because they had not included him, saying Harry was the only one present at the time of the attack then had broken an entry into the Dursley, "He was alone Mr. Malfoy, how is it you know this? Or are you simply making a stand to try getting your young friend out of trouble."

"Because I was there, ask Mrs. Figg, she even said, "two young wizards, and a muggle boy was attacked," She found us! She walked us to the Dursley's! If you read the report properly, Minister, I'm sure you'd see it, or are your glasses failing again? Not to mention that I am not blind Minster Fudge. I saw you talking with my father, as did several others sitting in this courtroom! Lucius Malfoy, my own father, is a viper! A silver-tongued viper, who has his teeth in you because you want to be a fool and refuse to believe Cedric Diggory was murdered in cold blood by a man named Peter Pettigrew on Voldemort's order! The letter that was sent to Harry the night of the attack even stated I was there because that crazy Uncle of his not only attacked us and disarmed us of our wands by side blinding us, it clearly stated both our wands had been confiscated! So please, clarify for me why my wand would have been confiscated during this time if you are all claiming I was never there! And if I was not there then please clarify for me where my whereabouts were! I know your sources are very precise when it comes to under-aged witches and wizard's use of magic off school grounds. Each ministry and school hold's very detailed records. Where's your proof saying I was not with Harry the night he, myself and his muggle cousin, Dudley Dursley, were attacked." Draco was done with this. He was not going to allow this to happen. They had no proof he was not with Harry. They wanted the boy removed from Hogwarts because he as a threat to Fudge's sanity and at keeping this a secret of Voldemort's return and pending power gain.

Gasps escaped everyone in the room, he supposed a few of them had had enough with Fudges rubbish in that courtroom as well, especially after what he had said to Dumbledore about mere magical use and the right to defend one's self if need be; "Laws can be changed!"

But that was the problem with that law, it was put in place because everyone had a right to defend themselves, young and underage, old and half dead. They all had the right to defend themselves magically, if need be in the full view of the Muggle public. There was no changing that, because no one would, first of all, vote to change it, and 2) No one would abide by it. So, Fudge was basically contradicting himself and digging himself a deeper retirement grave for his career.

However, Draco was glad that one of the judges on the Council had moved to motion for a vote to charge Harry or remove the charges that were placed upon him. Harry had been cleared of all charges, to Fudge's ever last disappointment.

Fudge wanted Harry out of school, away from Hogwarts.

Lucius had Fudge so far under his nail it was becoming noticeable, here is where Umbridge came in to Lucius's plan he'd step aside and allow Umbridge to 'council' Cornelius, promising that once Fudge was proven unable to perform his job properly that he would be removed from his chair and office and she, Deloris Umbridge, would become Minister of Magic.

Umbridge had feed this idea to her ego so high she had done exactly as she was instructed firstly then began her own plans. And to those involved in this scheme, were a bit shocked that her plans were working. That night, Umbridge had a personal discussion with Fudge, explaining that Dumbledore was up to many things and possibly after his job, feeding the fear into Cornelius that he was being pushed from his station by someone who was once a close friend.

They had all celebrated that night, but Harry had been disappointment that Dumbledore had fully ignored him when Harry tried thanking him for his help, "Does anyone happen to know what's going on with Professor Dumbledore?" He'd hoped someone could give him a reason, but no one had an answer as to what was going on, they had all notice his strangeness and were all becoming worried, worried enough that Emma had revoked her temporary resignation and would be going back to Hogwarts.

Both her and Sirius had agreed they'd Floo to and from the Potter Estate, which had become their permanent home and left Grimmauld Place as Head Quarters and taking turns assisting around Hogwarts as Security and an aide in the classrooms when needed. Something Dumbledore greatly appreciated, especially after he'd received clear news that was not up for debate, nor up for questioning.

To everyone's despair, a mass notice had gone out to student aids and staff alike informing them Deloris Umbridge was to be joining them as the new Defense against the Dark Arts Professor. This had sent Emma and the Snape's into a frenzy.

"She doesn't even qualify! She has no experience as a teacher's aide, and not to mention her profile from the Ministry states she has never had a desire to work with children!" Mellena screamed, fuming as she cooked and cleaned through the kitchen at the Potter Estate.

Emma gave Mellean the time in the kitchen this time around, cleaning and cooking while they fumed was their coping mechanism, and Mellena was definitely angry, "Severus has been trying to get that job for years, he obviously has the qualifications. Not to mention he has experience with the children and has more right to-" Dumbledore sighed, stopping Mellena in her tracks, giving her grandfather a look of 'Really?' as she watched him set his tea cup down and held his head in his free hand, eyes closed tightly, "Mellena, dear, please? Your making my headache." Dumbledore grumbled, "It's not like I really had much of a choice. Believe me dear child I was about to offer the job to Severus however I was required to look for a different person to be able to teach the class or someone with both qualifications to take over Potions, but you know how Severus is, he despises anyone besides you or Emma from taking over his class while he's away. Umbridge has something deeper planned, and it's nothing to do with helping Cornelius. She's sneaky that one. I have no evidence of anything, it's all speculation and assumption. Fudge no longer trusts me."

September 1, 1995

Molly and Andromeda had dropped off the children, Athella and Horus staying close with the Weasley twins with excitement. Though, Fred had to convince Athella it would be alright to leave them once they were unloaded from the train, she didn't want to leave them, "You can come right back to me once you've been done and sorted." Fred said with his usual smile and full of confidence in her and Horus.

But Athella wasn't feeling confident at all, she was terrified, "But what if we don't get sorted into Gryffindor?" She pouted with worry, her worst fear was not being in the same house as her brother and the twins. However, down the lane of the unloading students. Athella had witnessed Harry nearly going after Finn Malfoy, "See what I've been tellin' you, he's completely lost it!"

"Just stay away from me!" Harry shouted after the dark hair Malfoy who just laughed at him like he was a psychopath, "Not in your dreams Potter! I enjoy watching you squirm!" Finn shouted back.
