Recap: "It is with my deepest regret to tell you that your son Percy Ignatius Weasley has been killed fighting against the Kings soldiers. I am truly sorry." Harry said walking out of the room, fighting his own tears . . .
In which the memories of the past came flooding to the grieving family with vengeance.
Chapter 6
The Dark Lord was not pleased with the reports he was receiving from his elite Hunters. Reports of his soldiers were found dead with strange little round wounds, or missing limbs. Then there were the reports from Russia. A hole camp for those being reeducated was attacked and destroyed, in which his best warden had been killed. The disturbing thought was that of the phoenix that was floating in the air just like the dark mark of the past.
"Draco. What do you know of the phoenix?" He asked.
"The phoenix is a mythical bird that only aligns itself with the people who follow the week minded fools." Draco said.
"What do you think of our current situation?"
"Well sir, I think whoever is doing this isn't going to stop."
"How is that?"
"He follows the light the weak side of magic."
"How do we stop him?"
"First you won't do anything. Second we let them come to us."
"Don't tell me what to do, Malfoy. Remember what I did to your father."
"Sir if you leave, they will find you, and kill you. Stay here and let them come to you and fight them on grounds we know." Draco said.
"Yes, let them come then we crush them." He said.
"I shall go prepare the defenses. What of Hogwarts sir?"
"Leave it for now, only a fool would attack the school. Especially when its full of Hunter Knight trainees." The Dark Lord said.
"As you wish." Draco said turning to leave.
"Oh Draco this is for telling me what to do. Crucio."
Meanwhile
"Harry, why has the Weasley family been giving me the cold shoulder?" John asked.
"I don't know John. But give it time. I'll tell you what, I will personally ask the Weasleys why." Harry said.
"Don't please?"
"Why."
"I don't want to make this worse than what it all read is."
"John, it won't. But if you don't ask what the problem is then it will only get worst." Harry said.
"I know but this is different from dealing with a country's leader."
"How is that?"
"I can threaten the politicians, but the Weasleys I can't."
"Remember what Albus and your great-uncle said about the order?" Harry asked.
"Yeah I do. Why?"
"The order is the Intelligence office. They gather all the information they can about the target and tell us their weakness. The Order of the Phoenix is literally part of your army. Order them to tell you what is wrong." Harry said.
"Harry!"
"Listen John I don't like it but it must be done. Sir!" Came the reply.
"If it comes to that then I will. But I will let you ask them first. I do believe they're in the dinning hall at the moment." John said.
Dinning Hall
Harry had just walked into the hall when the Weasley's noticed him. Without speaking they got up and tried to leave the hall.
"Close the doors." Harry ordered before they could leave.
With a resounding band the doors were closed and locked.
"Now, I have a question and I will ask it politely, so please answer truthfully. It may pay to remember I can tell when your lying." Harry asked.
"If we don't?" Bill asked.
"You have two choices. One we stun you and feed you vertiserum to get what we need. Or we just stun you and throw you in one of our holding cells. Now will you answer?" Harry asked.
"Harry why are you doing this?" Hermione asked.
"You tell me Hermione?"
"What is your question Harry?" Ginny asked before Hermione could respond.
"Why are you giving John and I the cold shoulder?"
"What's the cold shoulder?" Fred asked.
"Basically ignoring us. Well I'm waiting."
When no one answered Harry took a road he really didn't want to take.
"Do you still think of yourselves as Order of the Phoenix members?" He asked and at their nods continued. "Well then I must remind you that the Order is the intelligence agency for the armies of the king and you all are soldiers in this army. Now answer the QUESTION SOLDIER!"
"YOU WANT ANSWERS FINE I'LL GIVE THEM TO YOU. YOUR ARMIES KILLED MY BROTHER!" Ron screamed out.
"It's not only that it's the way this war is being run." Hermione said.
"Meaning?"
"Well attacking the hunter bases, with muggle means, why?"
"Tell me Hermione, can you stop me from pulling the trigger?" Harry asked drawing his pistol.
"Yes. You know magic is faster that muggle things' Harry." Arthur said.
"Well lets see. If Hermione can stun me, you can leave. But if I prove this wizards are stronger than muggles attitude you will tell me what in the hell is wrong." Harry said.
"Deal." Hermione said.
Before Hermione could even utter her spell, she had hit the ground clutching her chest. The gun shot scared everyone in the room and alerted the guards standing outside the door. When they entered the room with weapons at the ready, Harry motioned to lower their weapons.
"It doesn't matter if you're a pureblood, half-blood, muggle-born, or a muggle. One well-placed shot can bring anyone down. Follow me!" Harry ordered.
The group proceeded to walk down to a field that was covered in waste high weeds.
"There is a group of men out in the field find them with magic." Harry ordered.
The Weasleys chanted every detection spell they could think of. But the results were the same nothing.
"There's no one out here Harry." Bill said.
"Not true, there out there, tell me besides the security charms is there a spell to find hidden people by other means?" Harry asked.
"Sure Dumbledore could look through invisibility cloaks." Hermione said.
"That he could but he couldn't see hidden muggles. Snipers stand up." Harry yelled out.
Four men stood up, one from behind a fallen tree. Another came out of a corps of young trees. The last two were hidden behind or in some tall grass.
"You see the muggles have survived by adapting to their surroundings. Just like they learned to use all their sense not just magic. It's just the many reasons how they survive. These men have trained for months before they get to the field. As you can see, the four in this field are at a respected distance. Before you ask yes they are wizards"
"Still why couldn't we detect them?" Ginny asked.
"Were you looking for magical means of hiding?" John asked walking up to the group.
"Everyone knows that if you look hard enough you can see disillusioned wizards and witches." Molly said.
"True. But could you see these men?" Harry asked.
"No." Came their replies.
"That's because they used the environment. Let me give you a little back round on are selves. Wizards can only detect magic that has been cast. Not the magical core of the person. So thus these men used their environment to hide and quite effectively. By the way, Hermione you might want to have that wound looked at." Harry said.
"Okay." She said.
"Why did she fall like that? Harry." Ron asked.
"The round was a rubber bullet. We use them for training purposes. Now if it was a lethal round, Hermione would have never made it to the hospital wing." Harry said.
"These weapons they're that destructive?" Bill asked.
"Sniper fire on that target!" John ordered while pointing at a watermelon.
With the pull of the trigger the watermelon exploded out words.
"Now think of that melon as a human head." Harry said, while Ron lost what he just ate.
"You see. No one and I mean no one can outrun a bullet. Now for the best please try to see me for me. Just like you did for Harry when he was younger. By the way it wasn't me that killed your son Percy, but Percy himself. It's all in these folders. Before you read them, I must warn you most of the reports are not good, many of the documents were written by your son himself." John told them handing over the documents.
"Well try John. How bad are these files?" Molly asked.
"Bad Molly I read them my self." Harry answered.
"Harry did you really mean that the Order of the Phoenix is part of his army?" Ginny asked pointing at John.
"The Order was started as a group to keep an eye open and an ear to the ground, also for centuries the Order was used to weed out Dark Lords by actively fighting them. But my great-uncle put Dumbledore in charge and tells him he needs an agency to spy on Voldemort, thus the Order is made into the wizard's version of the America CIA." John said.
"What is this CIA?" Hermione asked.
"You really have lost touch with the muggle world, haven't you Hermione?" Harry asked.
"Well when you think your parents are dead then what in the hell are you supposed to do? Harry." She asked.
"Adapt and carry on, not hide. Now the CIA is an abbreviation for the Central Intelligence Agency. They're quiet good at their jobs." John said. "Now for the fun part."
"What fun part?" The twins asked in glee.
"Tomorrow, you all with the exception to Arthur and Molly, will begin your training. Good luck, you'll need it." John said walking away.
"We'll see you in thirteen weeks." Harry said, walking away.
"What training and why thirteen weeks?" Ginny asked.
"You all have been drafted for the army. The first of many hopefully British wizards and witches who wish to join. The thirteen weeks are your basic training. I will get you in the morning."
"What who are you?" Molly asked.
"One of their many drill instructors?" The man replied.
"Kingsley?"
"So how long do you think, they'll last?" John asked as they walked away.
"I give the twins a week, Bill and Charlie four, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, eight weeks or they might finish basic. But I will really be surprised to see them all graduate basic." Harry said.
A/N: Well what will happens next. You can guess. It may be true, but it may not. Now please review. Tell me what you think. It won't take long just a minute or less.
