A/N: I forgot to include at the end of chapter 20 a note about the legend Hermione told about the wizard Asclepius and the Caduceus. It is an actual Greek myth. Asclepius was the Greek god of medicine. Zeus killed him because he heard Asclepius learned to raise the dead and Zeus did not want mortals learning to be immortal.

Chapter 21 – The Order of the Phoenix

Harry woke up and looked at his clock. It was 6:15 in the morning the next Saturday morning. Harry rolled back over and mentally reviewed the last week in his head. It had been a busy week for everyone.

Ron spent only the one night in the Hospital Wing. Harry suspected Madam Pomfrey kept him overnight just to keep Hermione from fussing over Ron all night. Not that Ron seemed to mind too much from what Harry saw.

Ron did have a problem when Harry joined him for breakfast the next morning with Astus on his shoulder. Harry sat down across from Ron and snorted when the Ron fell out of his seat on seeing the snake. It took Ron a couple of minutes to settle down and continue eating his breakfast. Harry's new familiar kept Harry snorting through breakfast with his sarcastic comments about Ron's eating habits and table manners.

Harry's week of classes and training became a little easier for Harry to handle. This was partially because he was becoming used to the regimen that his instructors and he had set up. Professor Ioshi waived Harry from attending his regular DADA classes. Since Harry already had advanced beyond them, Harry only attended occasionally to demonstrate particular skills or spells.

Hermione celebrated her eighteenth birthday on Thursday. Harry declared it a training free evening. Ron and Ginny organized a surprise birthday party in the Gryffindor common room. A crying First year Slytherin girl lured Hermione into the common room from the library. The young actress was Liz Esperanza, and she told the Head Girl that a large red-headed boy from Gryffindor picked on her for being too short and called her a bug.

Hermione went into full "Crusader" mode and stormed into the common room looking for Ron. Instead, she found a fully decorated common room with most of Gryffindor and many students from other houses waiting. Hermione's face was red with anger when she stalked through the portrait hole, then white as she noticed all of the people gathered. The red returned as she realized she had been set up to her embarrassment. She quickly forgave her grinning boyfriend when he emerged from the crowd to give her a hug.

The party was a huge success. To Hermione's chagrin, not much homework was completed during the evening. The party went until ten as the students used the excuse (and the food) to enjoy their free night. Harry introduced Hermione to Liz and Maria when she wandered over to where the two sisters, Harry and Ginny were discussing Seeker tactics and tricks.

The next morning Harry was very glad the party was held the previous night. The students needed the good memories. The morning's Prophet reported a series of Death Eater attacks in various parts of the country. Fifteen Muggles outside London were killed in a "gas leak" explosion. Another group of Muggles were killed when their tour boat on the Thames mysteriously was sucked into a vortex. All of the Muggles drowned.

Death Eaters also attacked a small community of English wizards in France. The wizards had moved to France in an effort to stay neutral. They viewed war and conflict as completely evil and refused to take any side in the fight. The wizards refused the Ministry's offer of protection. They felt that stationing Aurors in their village would be a provocation to Voldemort's forces. After all, they were no threat to Voldemort. Why should he bother them? Riddle's answer was clear to Harry. No one would be allowed to sit on the sidelines. There was no neutrality.

No Gryffindors lost relatives that Friday, but Hufflepuff was hit particularly hard by the attack on the village. Professor Sprout's sister was a leading witch in the village. Sprout's sister, brother-in-law and their granddaughter were all lost in the attack. Classes for the 'Puffs were canceled for the day.

Harry rolled out of bed and out for his morning run. Ron was supposed to meet Harry outside the Great Hall but never joined him. Harry assumed he was having a lie-in. After his run, Harry made his way into the shower. The hot water felt good on his aching muscles. Harry knew it was going to be a long day.

Harry walked over to Hermione's room and knocked on the door. Harry did not hear an answer but he did hear a very familiar snoring sound. Harry grinned. The rooms in the Head Dorms were charmed to prevent any … improper behavior. Harry carefully opened the door and peeked in. Ron was asleep sitting on the couch with Hermione laying on the couch with her head in his lap. Harry carefully pulled his head back when he heard the sound of the portrait opening.

Ginny walked in with a cheerful smile on her face. When she saw a grinning Harry at the top of Hermione's stairs she stopped and asked, "Harry, why are you grinning like that?"

"Not much reason," Harry replied, "just Hermione asleep with her head in Ron's lap."

Ginny's smile became very predatory. Harry considered why Sirius was so fond of Ginny. She would have made a great Marauder. After Harry's conversations with the Founders, Harry realized that Salazar would have wanted Sirius, Fred, George and Ginny in his House simply for their sheer sneakiness and pranks.

Unaware of her boyfriend's musings, Ginny pulled out her wand and pointed it at her own throat. A mumbled incantation later, Ginny ran quietly up the steps and stepped into Hermione's room. Harry watched as she crept up to stand behind the couch.

With a quick grin at Harry, Ginny yelled, "RONALD BILLIUS WEASLEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING! ARE YOU TAKING ADVANTADE OF THAT POOR GIRL?" Although it was Ginny saying the words, she used Molly's voice. Harry realized she charmed her voice to sound exactly like her mother. Harry realized latter, after he finished rolling on the floor laughing.

Ron shot off the couch like a Bludger, knocking Hermione onto the ground in his sudden movement. Ron turned quickly to the sound of his mother's voice, "MOM! I swear we didn't do anything! This isn't what it looks like! I do…"

"RONALD, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU!" Ginny added.

Ron finally got his eyes open and his brain functioning and realized it was his sister and not his mother standing in front of him. "Ginny! What do you think you are doing!"

Still in Molly's voice, Ginny replied, "I am just filling in for mum."

"I'll give you filling in for mum!" Ron chased Ginny around the couch and out the door past where Harry was gaping for air. The two Weasleys ran around the common room with Ginny laughing and Ron screaming his vengeance on his only sister.

Hermione sat up holding her head where it hit the floor when Ron dumped her off the couch. She looked over at where her best male friend seemed to be dying of oxygen deprivation. Sitting up she asked, "Did you do this?"

This made Harry laugh harder as he shook his head. Although her head hurt, Harry's laughter was infectious and the sound of Ginny and Ron in the common room made Hermione start to laugh too. In a laughing sobbing voice she said, "I don't know if I can handle a life of dealing with Weasley pranks!"

Harry started dragging himself to his feet when he suddenly heard Ron yell, "NO!" and a sudden crashing sound. Jumping up Harry ran into the common room, followed by Hermione.

Neither Ron or Ginny were visible in the room. Harry looked over to his room and saw that the Portal was activated. Harry ran over to his room and looked into the Portal. It had been opened to Fred and George's shop. Harry stepped through and found Ron on the floor under a pile of boxes. The Portal closed soon after Harry stepped across the threshold.

Fred came running in and stopped when he saw Ron under a pile of boxes. Seeing Harry, he asked, "What is going on here, Harry?"

Harry grinned and told Fred the story. "I think she tricked him by running into my room and then activating the Portal just before he ran through my door."

Fred turned and yelled, "Oi George! Come hear what Gin-gin has done to ickle-Ronnie-kins this time!"

Ron looked at Harry with a resigned expression and laid back into the boxes of fake wands, instant swamps and other WWW goods.

After allowing Fred and George a couple of minutes to give their youngest brother a hard time over Ginny's prank, Harry interrupted the twins, "Are you guys ready for later today?"

Fred and George's body language altered with Harry's simple question. The pranksters remained but changed. Harry realized several months ago that the twins saw the war with Voldemort much like one of their prank wars. It brought out their creative juices in a way school never did.

Fred answered, "The new headquarters is ready, Harry."

To George, "We still need a Fidelis Charm on the that part of the warehouse.

Back to Fred, "It already is Unplottable"

George again, "We also cast Muggle Repealing Charms."

Harry interrupted the verbal tennis match, "Professor Flitwick taught Hermione to do the charm. She will cast it later this afternoon."

Harry walked over to Ron and gave him a hand up. Ron accepted with an embarrassed smile, his ears only slightly pink. Turning back to the twins, Harry asked, "I have the Order members Apparatting to Diagon Alley or using a Portkey to outside the headquarters wards inside the warehouse."

Fred nodded, "We are all set."

George asked, "Hermione gave us her Dark Mark detector spell. We tied it in with an alarm spell and active defenses. Bill also worked on the wards. I think the place is safer then Hogwarts."

Ron looked confused. "What are you guys talking about?"

Fred looked at Harry. "Didn't you tell him yet?"

"I haven't had a chance. Between Hermione's party and yesterday he has been busy," was Harry's answer.

"Well, I am here now, mate. What is up?"

Harry said, "We are having an Order meeting tonight at the new Headquarters. Snape knows too much about the old Headquarters." Harry smiled at Ron, "I hope you did not have plans today. We are going to be busy."

Ron smiled, "Only homework with Hermione. But since I am following your orders, you will be the one to take the heat, not me.

"I am glad I could give you an excuse, mate." Harry told the twins he would see them latter in the afternoon and opened the Portal back to Hogwarts. Hermione and Ginny could be seen standing on the other side. Harry turned back to Ron, "Maybe you should go first."

Ron laughed, "Oh no, you first, fearless leader. I am just the sidekick here."

Harry groaned, "Thanks for the reminder." Then he stepped through the Portal.

After breakfast, Harry met Ron back to his room. Harry told Ron to meet him there prepared for a serious sparing match in Muggle clothing. Harry was wearing Muggle street clothes but had Astus riding on his shoulders.

When Ron walked into the room he asked, "I thought we were going to duel? What are we doing here?"

Harry answered, "I wanted people to think we were dueling. Dumbledore left me with some information that I need to follow up on. Come on, I will tell you more in a couple minutes."

Harry led the way back up to his room. Activating the Portal, Harry walked though into his kitchen at Godric's Hollow. Harry felt an odd sense stepping into the kitchen. It took him a moment to realize what it was. He was home. After years with the Dursleys and at Hogwarts it felt strange to have a home of his own.

Harry walked over and started making tea as Ron followed him through the Portal. Ron sat down at the kitchen table. Astus slithered off, hissing something about exploring the new house.

"So, what are we doing here, Harry?" Ron asked.

"I told you about my meetings with Dumbledore in the Room of Requirement. The professor had a spy in the Ministry office. The spy is an Order member but no one else in the Order knew this person is a member except Dumbledore. We are here to meet the spy."

Ron asked, "But why are we meeting with the spy instead of the new head of the Order?"

Harry shrugged, "Because I am the new head of the Order."

Ron's eyes went huge. "You are what! I thought McGonagall would take it over."

"I didn't want to be the leader. I was looking forward to handing things over to someone else. Dumbledore said that I was the only one he felt could lead the Order. McGonagall's health has not been too good since those simultaneous stunners hit her in our Fifth year. Moody is too paranoid and anti-social to make a good leader. Sorry, but your father is not a fighter."

"Also, none of them know about the Horcruxes. If any one else becomes the leader, I would either have to tell them or go our own way like we planned at the beginning of summer."

Ron nodded, considering the news his friend had just given him. "What about you plans for the DA?"

"No changes, mate. I am not merging the two. If it comes down to a fight the adult members of the Order will fight under Kingsley's orders. I am not sure I want to tell the adult members what we are preparing in the DA, except the twins and Bill."

Before they could continue, the conversation there was a knock on the front door. Harry indicated to Ron that he would explain more after their guest left. Then Harry walked out to open the front door. Standing on the porch was Percy Weasley.

"What is he doing here!" Ron shouted.

"Nice to see you too, Ronald. I see you are keeping your temper under control," Percy sniffed.

"Harry, you can't tell me this git is the spy!" Ron raged.

"Ron, sit down," Harry ordered. "He is the Dumbledore's spy."

Ron sat down with a stunned look of disbelief. "He couldn't be! How could you do that to mum and dad?"

"Easy, Ron. It was father's idea." Percy answered while sitting opposite of Ron.

Harry poured them each tea and said, "Percy, I heard it from the professor. Why don't you explain to Ron."

Percy sniffed, "Very well."

"And drop the act," Harry added.

Percy grinned, "But I do it so well." Percy looked at Ron. "I am not nearly as stuck up as the family thinks I am. I just do not believe in breaking the rules. Father suggested to me that I play up the separation a bit in my Seventh year. Then when I took my position under Fudge in the Ministry, we staged my fight with father in front of the biggest gossip in the Ministry. That secured my position."

Ron looked confused, "But why would mum and dad still act that way at home? Mum was upset all the time!"

Percy looked down and studied his tea for a minute. "Our parents don't remember that they agreed to this. Father and Professor Dumbledore agreed that it would be more believable if they reacted to this naturally."

Harry added, "Before the professor Oblivated them, they wrote themselves a letter explaining what happened and why they agreed to this. I have it now"

Percy snorted. "Penny and I got married secretly last spring. She is now four months pregnant with our child. I hope this is over before the child is born. If mum misses the birth of her first grandchild she may kill me and father, and then raise the professor from the dead so she can kill him again."

Harry grinned, "Now she will add Ron and I to that list since we know and can't tell her."

Ron's face went white. "Can you Oblivate me? I don't want to face her knowing this."

"Sorry, Ron," Harry said shaking his head. "Remember all those times we kept insisting Dumbledore and the Order tell us what was going on? Now we know and have to live with that knowledge. I prefer to live with it then be ignorant."

Percy smirked, "You sound like Penny. Are you sure you are not in Ravenclaw?"

Harry smirked back, "No, but I was almost a Slytherin."

Percy looked a little shocked. Then he shook his head. "I take it that the professor named you to replace him."

"That is his intent," Harry replied. "We have a meeting tonight. We'll see what the other members think."

"If points for driving the Minister count then you are a shoe in. Scrigeour is almost ready to throw you in Azkaban on general principles."

Ron snorted, "He has Umbridge as his assistant. He has no principles."

"Tell me about it," Percy replied. "I almost felt happy when she was sent off to Hogwarts. That reminds me Harry. Your Howler was lovely."

Ron looked at Harry in surprise. "You sent Percy a Howler?"

Harry smiled back. "Yep, a nice loud one"

Percy smiled, "He chewed me out for missing Bill's wedding and being an all around arse. The whole office listened in. Then it exploded into little pieces that burst into flames. One piece landed in my pocket with directions to meet the new leader of the Order at this address."

Harry grinned, "I can't take credit except to say that Fred and George are a great investment." The two Weasley brothers laughed at that.

Ron stood up and walked around the table to Percy. Percy stood up to face him. (Harry noticed that Ron now stood three inches taller then Percy.) Ron stuck his hand out and said, "I am glad to find out that you are not the git I thought you were."

Percy took his hand and replied, "And I am glad to see you are not the whiny little brat I always thought you were."

The brothers grinned at each other for a second and then sat when Harry indicated the chairs.

"Now Percy, what should we know about what is happening in the Ministry?"

The two Weasley brothers and Harry sat at the table for almost two hours discussing the Ministry and its internal maneuverings. Percy presented Harry with a report on the different activities he was aware of and certain individuals who may support Voldemort's position, if not the wizard himself.

The meeting ended when Percy rose and indicated he had to attend a Ministry meeting. Harry and Ron stood and walked Percy to the door. They shook Percy's hand and Harry told him that he would be in touch soon. Then Percy turned and walked out of the house and into Godric's Hollow while Harry and Ron closed the door and returned to Hogwarts.

Harry and Ron returned to Hogwarts in time to join the girls for lunch in the Great Hall. Hermione told Harry that she was ready for the ritual for the Fidelis Charm.

Harry noticed Malfoy sitting by himself at the end of the Slytherin table. "What has Malfoy been up to?" he asked the table.

Dean heard the question and said, "The Slytherins are shunning him, mate. I'd heard he spends all his time in his room in your suite."

Hermione nodded, "A Slytherin Fifth year asked me for some help on her Arithamacy homework. She said the Slytherin dorm is a lot quieter since Malfoy moved out and his Death Eater friends did not return." As an afterthought, she added, "She did not seem unhappy about the change."

Harry nodded, "Once we start the DA meetings, I want to have someone keeping an eye on him. He convinced the Ministry that since he did not kill Dumbledore and his parents were killed for his failure that he was forced to take part. I don't trust him. We need to watch him."

Dean flicked a glance at Malfoy. "I can talk to a couple of people to keep track of him. We'll let you know."

Harry nodded his thanks to Dean and continued eating his lunch. Finishing up, Harry said, "I am going to head back to my room. I have some homework to do."

Harry wandered back to his dorm and into his room. Astus was coiled up on the windowsill in the warm sun asleep. Harry thought that looked like a wonderful idea and stretched out on his bed.

Harry was just dozing off when he felt his bed shake a little as someone else climbed onto the bed. A faint sent wafted past Harry's nose, Ginny. She curled up against Harry and rested one hand on Harry's chest, absently rubbing him. Harry placed his arm around her and felt content for the first time since returning to Hogwarts. Harry didn't want to move, didn't want to think. He just wanted to lie here holding Ginny in quiet..

"I've been ignoring you, haven't I?" Harry said.

"Mmm, you've been busy," she murmured, edging closer into his shoulder.

"I know, but I also need to make time for us. That is why I am fighting here and not just leaving."

"You wouldn't leave, Harry. You couldn't leave people in danger."

"Ginny, after the way the public has treated me I think I would leave in a heartbeat. Your family, Hermione and a couple of others are the reason I keep fighting. You have become my family."

Ginny rolled onto Harry and said, "Then I guess I will have to remind you what you're fighting for."

Harry and the gang stepped through the Portal and into the new headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix. Attached to the new Weasley Wizard Wheezes warehouse, the new headquartes was rather Spartan. It consisted of a kitchen, a large conference room, an office, four bedrooms, and a Muggle barracks style dormitory with bathrooms. Although the furniture was comfortable and high quality, it had a sterile quality.

Hermione started setting up for the Fidelis Charm while Harry, Ron, and Ginny explored the new headquarters. Smaller then Grimmauld Place, it was more functional and lacked the Dark quality of the old headquarters.

Harry called Ginny and Ron into the office. The office had a simple desk with a filing cabinet and a small conference table. A Muggle telephone sat on the desk. A chalk board hung on the wall next to the conference table. "I want to show you two something that Remus and the twins put together."

Ron grinned, "You let the last of the Marauders get together with the Twin Terrors? You were asking for trouble, mate!"

Harry walked up to the chalkboard with his wand and said, "I solemnly swear I am still up to no good!"

The board started to reform into a map of the new headquarters, the warehouse, and a two block radius. Small dots could be seen with names attacked. Harry pointed at the headquarters and said, "Zoom Headquarters"

The board flashed down to show a more detailed map of the Headquarters and the warehouse. Ron and Ginny could see their names with Harry and Hermione with a blue tinge to the name in the headquarters portion. Harry explained, "The blue indicates you are an Order member." Then Harry pointed, "George is in the warehouse right now. He is blue also. The gray-flagged names are Muggles. Red would be Death Eaters and green is for the Ministry. "

"That is wicked!" Ron exclaimed. "How did they do it?"

"Remus is the one who truly developed the Marauders Map with some help from the others. He still had his notes on the spells they used. But the twins helped adding the the coloring and they also added this…"

Harry tapped the map showing where Hermione was shown and said, "View"

The map opened a window to the side of the map with a picture of Hermione sitting at the conference table in the main room reading a book. Harry said, "The twins went with Mike to a Muggle electronics trade show in London. It gave them a bunch of ideas where Muggles have inventions that could be done with magic but no one has done it yet. So they created magical security cameras. The charm creates a small invisible bubble that can be used to send visual information. They are still working on the sound part."

Ron and Ginny's mouths gapped at their brothers' creation. Harry snorted when he saw the look in Ron's eyes as he considered the commercial applications of the magical device.

Hermione called from the other room that she was ready to perform the charm. He walked out into the room while Ron and Ginny stayed in the office. A small cauldron bubbled in the table with a pale white potion inside.

Hermione handed Harry a small, silver knife. "Do you remember your part?" Harry nodded and Hermione said, "Then I will get started."

Picking her wand up, she closed her eyes in a look of concentration. Then she tapped the cauldron and said, "Fidelius Oples"

Harry took the silver knife and cut his finger. "I, Harry James Potter swear to hold the secret of the Order of the Phoenix's headquarters. I swear to keep this secret from any who would do the Order harm." With that said, Harry allowed five drops of his blood into the potion. Then he used the silver knife to stir the potion five times clockwise and once counterclockwise. The potion turned from white to red and then to blue.

Hermione then tapped the cauldron again and said "Fidelius Eternus" The potion the turned green and instantly evaporated into a fine cloud that dissipated almost instantly.

Hermione opened her eyes and asked Harry, "Did the spell work? Where are we?"

Harry smiled and heard the sounds of Ron and Ginny's confusion. The Charm worked, the new headquarters was safe.

Two hours later the Order members started filtering into the new Headquarters. Fred and George were given little slips of paper from Harry with the information on the location of the new Headquarters. Using the Hogwarts, the two WWW shops and Grimmauld Place Portals, the Order quickly moved to their new Headquarters.

Soon the Weasleys, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Moody, Tonks, Remus and about twelve other people sat gathered around the conference table. Professor McGonagall sat next to Harry at the head of the table.

Harry stood up and waited until all of the conversations stopped, "Before we begin tonight's meeting, I would like to verify that we have only loyal Order members here tonight."

A middle age Auror that Harry vaguely recognized said in an outraged voice, "Who are you to question our loyalty? You are still in school!"

Harry nodded, "Yes, I am still in school. But I am still asking the question. Hermione?"

Hermione stood and with her wand cast, "Protus Revelo!"

The young witch sitting next to the Auror who objected glowed with a black hue. Neville and Luna stepped out of the office and hit her with a stunner and a body-binding curse before she could realize what was happening.

The Auror stood up and jumped away. He started to up out his wand but Moody knocked him over. Moody grabbed the witch's arm and pushed up the sleeve to reveal the Dark Mark. "A spy" he growled.

Moody looked up at Harry and asked, "How did you know?"

"I didn't," Harry answered, "Hermione's spell reacted to the magic in her Dark Mark. Neville and Luna were told to stun and bind anyone who showed a reaction."

Professor McGonagall looked stunned, "How could you do that? The Ministry and Albus worked on that for years!"

"Riddle used Parseltongue in casting the spell. Since I am the only one else able to speak it, Hermione and I worked out the charm."

Professor Flitwick bounced in his chair (with a booster seat) in excitement. "Oh, very good! Twenty points to Gryffindor! I think you should get bonus points on your NEWTs for that!"

The Order buzzed in excitement while Neville and Ron removed the unconscious witch until Professor McGonagall cleared her throat. "May we start the meeting know?" The Order members quickly settled down.

McGonagall looked at the members as if she was starting a First year Transfiguration class. "Welcome to out new Headquarters. After Snape's defection it was felt that a change of location would be best. Grimmauld Place will remain as a back-up for the time being. As you all know, Harry Potter is the Secret Keeper for this location." McGonagall held up her hand when several members, including Molly, looked as through they were ready to protest this news. "He will explain why shortly. For now let me say that he arranged all of the facility with the help of his friends."

"We have not met formally since the loss of Professor Dumbledore. We have been directionless since that time. We must choose a new leader. According to Albus's wishes, I nominate Harry Potter."

The Order erupted in arguments over that proposal. Molly sat with her concerned mother expression and looked like she was squeezing Arthur's hand to a pulp. Harry stood and held his hand up for quiet. No one aside from the Hogwarts students and professors paid him any attention.

A sudden SLAM on the table changed that quickly. The table seemed to bounce from a great blow but no source was seen. Harry stood at the head of the table waiting patiently. Everyone quieted down.

Harry started to speak in a quiet, serious voice. Many of the Order members strained to hear his words. "I did not ask for this. The professor never asked me. Yes, I am only seventeen. Yes, I am still in school. I have faced Riddle more times then anyone in this room. Professor Dumbledore taught me last year to understand Tom in many ways. Also he shared information with me that no one else knew. I will share some of that with you tonight."

Harry paused a second, but no interruptions were made. "You all know how I got this scar on my head. But have you wondered why I was targeted? Or what it could mean? Let me tell you about a Prophecy made before I was born; a Prophecy condemning me to be Riddle's biggest threat."

Harry spent the next ten minutes explaining the first part of the Prophecy to the Order. He held back the second part and the Horcruxes. Those were for his inner circle only. But the true stories were told of the sorcerer's stone, the Chamber of Secrets, the Goblet of Fire and the Department of Mysteries fight. Harry explained about the scar's connection to Riddle and the flashes that connected the two of them.

When Harry finished, the Auror who originally objected, named Cincinus Longjay, stood and said, "I second the nomination of Harry Potter."

No one stood to appoint another candidate. McGonagall called for a vote and Harry was elected as the new leader of the Order of the Phoenix.

Harry sat in his chair during the quick vote and, for a second, wished he would lose; to be free of the burden of being special and a leader. Then Harry remembered a challenge Ginny gave him over the summer. "Who else would you trust to take leadership and fight Tom?"

Harry stood and thanked the Order members for their confidence. Then the new leader of the Order of the Phoenix started his first meeting of the Order.

A/N: Chapter 20's name came from a quote from Raiders of the Lost Ark, the first of the Indiana Jones movies. The quote was said by Indy before lowing himself into the vault containing the Ark of the Covenant.
