A/N: I've decided it's going to be mostly DH compliant, with a few changes (like Moody living) I love reviews! Hint hint, nudge nudge.

Chapter 5: Death by Embarrassment.

Supper was delicious. In honour of Charlie and Kit's arrival, Molly had made Charlie's favourite meal.

"Ham!" exclaimed Charlie. " Thanks Mum! Oh, Kit wait 'till you taste this, the reserve can't hold a candle to it! My mother is the best cook in the world!"

Molly blushed.

Kit tried it. "Your right! I haven't eaten something this good since last thanksgiving!"

"Oh, stop it you two." Said Molly, obviously pleased.

"Dad, did you floo Professor McGonnagall and Moody yet?" asked Charlie.

"The professor McGonnagall? The famous transfiguration mistress? Winner of the 1979, 1980, and1981 ultimate transfiguration achievement award? Professor Minerva McGonnagall?" asked Kit excitedly.

Everyone was looking at her. "What?" She blushed. "St. Catherine's puts a lot of focus on transfiguration. She's a legend where I come from."

"Really?" said Arthur, surprised. "She's an old friend of the family. She is one of the people who decides in you can be in the Order."

"She won it three years in a row?" asked Hermione, "I thought she only won twice?"

"Well, the 1979 one was a collaboration with the transfiguration professor at my school."

Hermione looked thoughtful, and Charlie leaned over and whispered to her. "I didn't know you were such a nerd. It's not often someone knows something that Hermione doesn't"

She rest of supper was spent amicably discussing transfiguration research with Hermione while the others split off into other conversations. Charlie was right; she was a nerd.

After supper she tried to help Molly with the cleaning, but she was shooed out of the kitchen to wait for the members of the Order to show up.

"Hey," said Charlie, coming up behind her. "Do you want to go outside?"

"Ok." Kit smiled.

They walked around the garden and Charlie showed Kit the tree house he and Bill had helped Arthur make when they were young. They stopped to sit on a bench facing the small lily filled pond.

"What if I don't past the test?" asked Kit. She had been worried about it all day. "Don't worry," said Charlie, "you'll pass, I'm sure." He leaned back and put his arm around her and she instinctively lent into him. "But if I don't? And what if a say something about us not really being together?" Charlie began to stoke her hair absent- mindedly. "If you don't… they'll probably modify your memory. As for the other thing will worry about that when we have to. Don't worry. You know they love you?"

Kit smiled. "Really?"

"Defiantly." Charlie grinned. " They haven't taken to anybody that quick since Harry and Hermione started hanging around. Even Fleur had a hard time getting in good with them. Usually there like a pack of wolves." He chuckled. They lapsed into a comfortable silence.

Molly sighed as she watched them together through the kitchen window. She was so perfect for Charlie, beautiful, smart, caring, and funny. She loved it when her kids were happy and it was obvious that Kit made him happy. And the rest of the family liked her too. Molly already counted her as one of her own, just like Hermione and Harry had become. She just hoped that all her kids would be ok with the war… George had already lost an ear. She didn't want to think about what could happen, she had to be strong and focus on the present. She went back to living room to wait for their guests with the others.

Arthur came out to get Kit and Charlie barely five minutes later.

"I'm sorry to interrupt," he grinned, but they're here. We should get started soon, it may take a while."

"Alright Dad, we'll be right in."

Arthur nodded and went back to the house. Charlie and Kit stood up and Charlie saw that Kit was paler than usual.

"Don't worry. You'll be fine and I'll be right there beside you."

Kit smiled weakly. "Thanks Charlie." She took a deep breath. "Lets get this thing over with."

They walked into the house to find everyone crowded into the kitchen. Molly, Arthur, Bill, Fleur, Charlie, and Kit took seats around the table as the rest of the people made themselves comfortable sitting on the floor, countertops, or extra chairs. Then Minerva McGonnagall and Mad-Eye Moody entered and sat themselves across from Kit. After introductions, Moody handed her the vial of veritaserum. Minerva proceeded to explain that it was a special kind that kept her aware of what she was saying and what was happening around her. Then the questioning began.

"Full name?"

She winced. "Katherine Maxine Fowler."

"Blood status?"

"Muggle-born."

"Birthplace?"

"Moncton Regional Hospital, New Brunswick, Canada."

"Where did you study magic?"

"St. Catherine's institute, Halifax, Nova Scotia."

"What do you think of Voldemort?" There were several shudders around the room.

"I think he's an evil, sadistic bastard and needs to be stopped. And that he's really ugly." She blushed and everyone laughed. "True dat." Said George.

"Why do you want to be part of the Order of the Phoenix?"

"Because I want to help. Because I know being muggle-born is just as good as being pureblood and because muggles are people too."

"Do you have any special talents?"

"I have a really good memory, am skilled in healing animals and can do some normal healing. I'm good at transfiguration too."

McGonnagall nodded. "I expect Frank Thymes was your professor?"

"Yes."

"Well I guess that's it." Said Moody, gruffly. "What do you think Minerva?"

"I think," she smiled, "welcome to the Order of the Phoenix. It'll take a few minutes for the potion to wear off."

Over by the sink Fred and George cracked identical, evil grins. " Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Forge?" "Right you are, Gred!"

"OI! KIT!" they shouted simultaneously, "What do you really think about Charlie?"

"I think I love him." Kit had answered immediately just as the potion made her and everyone had heard.

"Shit." She turned bright red. "Umm…I'm tired, I'm gonna go to bed. Thanks for everything. Nice to meet you all. Goodnight." And then she fled upstairs before anyone could say anything.
