"Mum?" Ginny asked, "Who do you recon is left from the Order?"
"Oh, you don't know?" Percy asked, trying and failing not to sound pompous.
"Well, we've been away in Romania, haven't we?" Ginny asked, motioning toward Charlie.
"Well, I've been keeping in touch with them as well as you lot." Percy reached into his pocket and extracted a list. He put on a pair of glasses, and cleared his throat. "There's Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood, they're staying up in Hogsmeade. They have a house behind the Hogs Head Pub, and the meetings have been being held there for the last few months."
"I always knew they'd end up together," Molly said warmly.
"Yeah, they're not together, Mother," Percy said knowingly, "they just share the house."
"Oh." Molly said, disappointedly.
Percy consulted his list, and continued. "McGonagall and Kingsley are pretty much in charge of the Order. Kingsley runs things on the Ministry end, and McGonagall has kept Dumbledore's Army on as an actual class, which is hardly appropriate."
"Now, Percy, she's just trying to help," Arthur said.
"Yes, Percy, she's molding young minds into Harry Potters! Running around and attacking grown evil wizards at the ripe young age of 11!" George replied somewhat dryly. "Did anyone else just cringe when I mentioned his name? Honestly, I have an easier time saying Voldemort."
"THE LIST, PERCY!" Arthur shouted, desperate to stave off awkwardness.
"Thank you, Father," Percy replied. "There's Fleur, Hagrid, Flitwick, and Kreacher. Seamus and Dean are running Dumbledore's Army at Hogwarts, but they should be here tonight. Ah yes, then there's Aberforth, who is of course helping out due to his close proximity to Neville and Luna's place. It's unlikely that he'll be here, though."
"Getting a bit too old?" Molly asked.
"Fat and lazy, actually," Percy replied, rolling up the parchment and stuffing it back in his robe pocket. He looked to the clock, and saw that it was covered. Understanding the reason, he reached for his pocket watch and consulted the time. "It's getting close to that time. They should be arriving shortly."
That was all the talking they would do until the rest of the Order arrived. For the next five minutes, they sat around the living room, each lost in their own thoughts. They were either remembering those they lost, or planning what their next move would be, or in Arthur's case, whether or not the knitting needles were going to fly across the room and attack him. They were unable to look at each other, but it was nice to feel each other's presence. It had been a long six months.
Their thoughts were interrupted by a sharp knock on the door. Percy got up to answer the door, and the others were left in the room to fidget in their seats. Percy's voice echoed into the sitting room, causing the Weasleys to turn their heads in his general direction.
"Did he just say Snape?" Molly asked.
