Dinner was a rather noisy affair that night. No one had seen the Weasley kitchen so full in quite awhile. Remus, Harry, and Kingsley were so deep in conversation that they had hardly touched their plates. Ginny and Fleur were busy trying to console their youngest daughters who were in tears after a nasty prank from Fred Weasley Jr. Needless to say George and Angelina were having a quiet little chat with their son in the sitting room. The only people who seemed to be enjoying Molly Weasley's cooking were her husband, sons, and the rest of the children.
"Will you three put work aside for just one meal today?" Molly stated rather hotly to Harry, Remus, and Kingsley.
"Sorry Molly, we are just trying to come up with some sort of plan." At Harry's statement, everyone stopped eating and looked up. Harry winced at how much of an impact his statement seemed to have had. "Um…well, I guess we can put it off until later." He then proceeded to take a rather large bite of potatoes, prompting Remus and Kingsley to do the same.
The rest of the meal was rather depressing after Molly and Harry's exchange. Everyone ate in silence, each pondering what was going to happen -
Will there be another war? Harry thought.
Will one of us really go missing? Albus shuddered at the idea.
I can't lose my family, they are my life. Remus closed his eyes as the idea crossed his mind.
Tonks was the first one to break the silence after everyone seemed finished with their dessert. "Children, why don't you go get ready for bed and wash up. Elizabeth, James, Albus, and Rose please help the younger ones get ready."
"But Mum, it is only 7:30! Surely you can't expect…." The look that Tonks shot Elizabeth made her pause mid sentence. She knew that look. It was the look her mother gave her father whenever they were having an argument. Elizabeth knew she would be in trouble if she continued her thought.
"I know what time it is Elizabeth," Tonks stated gently, "but we have a lot of work ahead of us, and it would be beneficial if you could help everyone get ready. Once the younger kids are in bed, you can stay up, but quietly in your rooms."
"As for rooms, I have assignments for you all!" Molly fished around in her apron for a rather worn looking piece of parchment. "Right, now let's see. James, Albus, and Fred you are in Ron's old bedroom. Elizabeth, Rose, Dominique, and Molly you are in Ginny's old bedroom. Lily, Roxanne, and Lucy will be in Percy's old bedroom. And that leaves Hugo, Frank, and Louis in the Twins old bedroom." At the mention of his old bedroom George looked down suddenly, remembering the good times he had in their with his brother who was no longer with him. "Right, now off to bed you go! Don't forget to wash behind your ears!" After saying goodnight to their parents, the children began to leave the kitchen.
"And no spying or extendable ears!" Harry added as they trudged up the stairs.
"How did he know we would use those!" Albus whispered to James as they reached the first landing.
"Because I was your age once Al," Harry called up after his son. Smiling to himself as he remembered spying on an Order meeting using those ears.
"You know if they don't have Extendable Ears, they will try another way to hear what we discuss," Remus stated after the children disappeared from sight.
"True, but a few spells and enchantments should keep them out. I am an Auror after all."
At this, the tension in the room seemed to melt away slightly. Ginny rolled her eyes at her husband's comment, while Tonks added her two cents, " And with another, more experienced Auror in the house, we should be able to handle a few teenagers and adolescents."
"Hey, what about me!" Ron exclaimed from the other end of the table.
"Well Ronald, I guess we can use your expertise as well. If you were paying more attention to the conversation and not your wife, we would have been more than happy to include you in our little group," Tonks threw him a wicked smile as saw Hermione turn red and slide off his lap.
"And to think, what would your kids say if they saw you like that! You act like a couple of kids yourself. Sheesh," George said, rolling his eyes.
At George's comment, everyone let out a laugh and things seemed to be as they always were. There was no impending doom, just friends gathered for a night of good eating and conversation. It wasn't until the laughter died down that the room seemed to remember why they were all there. Ron stood silently and began to put up the wards that would keep their children from eavesdropping.
"What are we going to do?" Remus asked. His voice barely above a whisper.
"I don't know," Harry stated, rubbing his temples. "I guess the first question we should be asking is who. Who could possibly be doing this?"
Tonks answered first. "We should make a list. We should make a list of everyone still alive or unaccounted for from the last war. Any and all of Voldemort's followers. We need to start systematically going through everyone and eliminating them as we investigate. I know it will not be the fastest way, but it is a start."
Everyone seemed to nod their heads in agreement. Molly went to fetch some parchment as the group began listing names of old and unaccounted for Death Eaters. Arthur went to put on a pot of tea. He had a feeling they were going to be in for a long night.
