When I reached my room I showered off and got dressed to head back down to the meeting. Now I was wearing a maroon colored top with a black skirt and flats. I pulled my hair into a part up do and tied part of it into a bun with the loose part hanging down in wild curls. I put on some balck eye liner, mascara, and some red lipstick. I decided I at least look presentable and snatched my wand off of my dresser. I had ten minutes to find the meeting and hurried out the door. I was pretty sure I knew where I was going and in my absent mindedness accidentally took a wrong turn.
When I finally reached the door I knew I had to be a few minutes late. I leaned against the door to listen. There were voices coming from inside, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. Suddenly the door opened and I almost fell over in surprise. Everyone looked up when they saw me. I suddenly felt extremely inadequate and wanted to bolt for it. I probably would have if Voldemort had not chosen that moment to speak. "I thought we discussed that lingering in doorways would not do, Auna." He said slightly annoyed. "I.. uh... I didn't want to interrupt."
"Hmm, well sit down." he said, gesturing to the seat to his left. I sat down, not pleased about sitting next to him and ever more nervous about having Bellatrix on the other side of me. As I sat I felt a stinging jinx hit my arm and looked up to catch his eyes. The look I received back seemed to be a warning. I nodded. The meeting began and I remained silent. I didn't speak most of the meeting.
"We must stop the raids, my lord. They are causing a serious annoyance." I heard Dolohov say. This caught my attention. "The problem, Antonin, is that there is no common organization to them. We don't know who is in the parties or when they will attack next. I think if we could head them off once we would at the very least provide incentive for them to be a bit more careful where they attack." Bellatrix was saying. I was suddenly in a dilemma. I knew about the raids, a lot about the raids. Should I speak? Would they even believe me?
"Um, I might know something." I said, in barely a whisper. They all seemed to here me though because every pair of eyes at the table turned on me. It was extremely intimidating. "Auna, if you feel comfortable, please continue." Voldemort was the first to speak. I turned to him and received a curious glance. Taking a deep breath, I spoke. "Well there are four scouting groups each with one leader and three others. Sometimes there are new iductees. Usually those trips are more scouting than actual raids. The next raid actually includes the most recent inductees although they are fairly skilled so it will be a normal raid. I trained most of the inductees my fifth year and can comfortably say that they will be fair fighters. The next raid will be on Friday in the evening and each of the parties will be going somewhere different." I paused, looking at Voldemort. He nodded for me to continue and I stole a quick glance around the table.
"The first, Mad eyes group, will go to London to try and scout out the ministry and pick off anybody they can who does not support their cause. That group also includes Aurthur Weasley, Bill Weasley, Flitwitt, and Fluer Weasley. Obviously a very attached group. All fairly good fighters, particularly Bill. Their inductees are Colin Creevey and Devin Creevy, his younger brother. Both were in Dumbledore's army and are decent. The second group, Kingsley Shacklebolt's, will go to try and pick up recruits among the non-human magical creatures. That group includes Minerva Mcgonigal, Percy Weasley, and Charlie Weasley. Their inductees are Oliver Wood and Cho Chang. Oliver is a little older than myself and Cho is my age. Cho was in the DA. The third party is usually led by Remus Lupin," I said, glancing at Voldemort, "That may or may not be the case Friday. Anyhow, his group is going to Azkaban to... ensure that those being held there are still there." Shouts went up at this and Voldemort quieted them with a wave of his hand. "That group includes Fred and George Weasley as well as Nymphadora Tonks. The Weasleys are twins and very close. Tonks is actually engaged to Remus. Their inductees include Angelina Johnson and Katie Bell, both a bit older than myself. Dumbledore has a great desire to get Hogwarts back. The fourth group will be heading to Hogsmeade to scope things out and try to see where they can get." I took a deep breath. It hurt to say their names. "They include Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Neville Longbottom with Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood as their inductees. The only reason Luna and Gin weren't inducted earlier was because of their age. All of them are young, no older than myself, but impressive fighters none the less. All were core DA members and for those who will recall a couple years ago everyone of them had my back at the ministry. I say this because even thought they are young they are all fearsily loyal. Also, Sirius Black may join that group." I finished speaking and waited for a response.
"Well, that was rather helpful, Auna. You never told us who the leader of the last group was, though." I sighed. I was hoping he wouldn't catch that. Of course he did. "Well, um, they call themselves the Potter squad because it is kind of me or was me anyway." Bellatrix spoke first. "Of course not Potter. None of us have ever seen you at one of the Order's raids. There was that other fighter though." I laughed. "That was me. I seem to have made a name for myself under a mask. Dumbledore didn't want me going, but I wasn't just going to sit around the camp all day now was I. So I simply made myself someone else and was off. It was kind of fun, really."
"How Potter? Most spells are fairly detectable." Voldemort asked. I wasn't sure I wanted to give up my secret, but I did so anyway. "I'm an metamorphmagus." I said smiling. "Indeed, well that is interesting. Dolohov can you put together parties to deal with the Order's?"
