The in black clothed leader sat in a grand chair at a table in the Great Hall of the Academy. He looked out over the tables while waiting for his order members to show up. There they came, clothed in black robes and hooded cloaks, the black leather mask hiding their faces. Bring me your parchment, he ordered.
One by one the small group of followers brought their parchments, standing back while waiting what would happen next.
The leader looked trough the parchments then called out: 'Procer. Take place at the middle table.' The person nodded and walked towards the table mentioned. 'Priapus, you sit at the table left in front of me.' When the person had find it's seet he called out the next name, 'Hathor' You sit at the table right in front of me'. The person named Hathor walked towards the table and sat down. 'Opacus, For now you can sit with Hathor. Advectum, for now sit by Hathor and Opacus. Volucris, you can sit by them for now too.'
When everyone was seeted The Leader continued. 'Welcome Order members at our First official meetin, welcom at the Secret Academy which is our headquarter and institute for the education of the Forbidden Arts. I am your Master and Headmaster of the Academy. You are allowed to adress me as Master, Lord, Milord, Dark Lord, Headmaster, or as Lord Fulgor, but the last two only if there are no outsiders around. The table where you are seeted represents your Blood status. You will sit at the apointed places every meeting, unless you are a staff member of the Academy. Now, before anything else there are a few ceremonies we have to deal with.' The leader paused for a short moment.
'Priapus, please come forth.' The only member sitting at the left table came forth, bowed slightly and stood in front of the stafftable. Then the leader held up a cloth batch with a picture of an Ashwinder on it. 'As you are an muggle born, you are sorted in the Noble house of the Ashwinder. When education at the Secret Academy starts you will have classes with your house mates and when sleeping in the Academy you will make use of the Ashwinder common room and dorms. Is that Clear?' The masked person nodded.
Then the leader pulled out his wand and spelled the batch on the left sleve of the member's cloak.
'Now you are the first of the Ashwinders. Would you accept the position of Head of House and take all responsibillties of you required?' The leader asked. 'Yes, Lord Fulgor, I gladly accept this position.' The member spoke from under her mask. The Leader took a badge with a big H from his table and spelled it on the right sleeve of the persons cloak.
And so the ceremony went on. Procer as only half blood member was sorted into Boomslang and accepted the title of Head of house. Then Volucris was called. He got a Runespore badge on his left sleve and a roman II badge on his right sleeve, mening that he was second in command of the Order. Opacus was sorted in the same house and got an A on his right sleeve, meaning he was the order's Advisor. Advectum also was sorted into Runespring and got a III on his right sleve.
'Now you three decide who of you is going to become your Head of House.' The leader said. 'You get five minutes max.'
After a long discussion they decided that Volucris become Head of house.
The leader called him forth and spelled the badge with the H under his II on his right sleeve.
'Now we have a new member.' The leader continued. 'Hathor, come forth please.'
The member walked towards the Leader and he asked her the formal question. 'Hathor, would you still join Ordo Fulmineus and obey by every law and order?'
'Yes.' Said the person.
'Welcome to Ordo Fulmineus.' The leader said, giving her the earclip and the Runespore Badge. The person thanked her leader and went back at her table.
Then the leader stood up, and walked past the table laying befor each person a silvery chain with a black key on it. After he was done he went back to his position at the staff table, again adressing his members. 'This an aditional part of your uniform that is meant to protect you, and to visit the Academy. You are suposed to wear it everyday, just like the Earclip. When you put it on, it will become invissible for non order members. When you are in danger and need a quick escape, or you need to visit the academy just grab the key and say Clanculum, witch is our orders Password for securing Owls and entering the academy from the entrance at Hogwarts. You are welcome to visit the Academy whenever you can. If there is no one around don't worry. Books from the Library should be not taken to any place. However, One may duplicate them if one needs to study them elsewhere. Now let I show you around our Headquarter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the Leader had shown his members around, telling them the important things of the building, such as the portraits, the kitchens, andn the Library, he walked them back to the Great Hall. When they sat down at their respective tables the Leader said, 'In the near future I will install passwords for the different houses, until now, I trust yoiu that you do not enter another house then your own. There is a lot that needs to be installed in order for us to make fully use of our headquarters. Therefore, I will appoint tasks, however, it is at your own free will to take the task, but hopefully you will do whatever lays within your abillities to help prepare our headquarter for the sake of the Order and future education. Here is a list with things that have to be done. You can write your name behind a task. It the task cost you anything, bring the bills to the Headmaster's Office with your vault number on it, or give it to me. I can say, the more you do for the Order, the higher position you may gain in the future.' The leader paused, then continued,
'Now it is time to work or socialize. The house elves will prepare lunch for us. Afterwards we will have a political debate.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the House Elves brought in Lunch, the leader looked at the task list he had presented his members with.

He was glad that his order members were so willingly to do tasks and take positions.
When dinner was over The Young Leader started the political debate. 'I have a few propositions on wich I want your opinion.' He began. For each proposition we take 10 minutes. The first is.. Acording to Slytherin who have created this Secret Academy, Muggle borns and Mudbloods should have better possibillities to intergrate in wizarding society. Now hold thumbs up if you agree and thumbs down if you disagree. '
There was only one person who disagreed. 'Hathor, stand up and explain why you disagree.'
The order member stood up and said. 'I thought Slytherin did only agree with pure bloods having a magical education.'
The leader answered 'Salazar stated in his documentation that a wizard can be considdered a Pure wizard, not a Pure Blood wizard, if he or she is fully intergrated into wizarding society. He stated that they should have classes to help them intergrate, such as Wizarding Etiquette, Intergration classes, and should be guided into our way of life.'
'Then I'll agree.' Hathor said.
'Please sit down. Anyone else disagree?'
None of the order members stood up.
'Good, next statement. Wizarding Leading institutes should not hide magical creatures from muggle sight, and should not spell creatures so that they cannot attack muggles.'
None disagreed.
After discussing some other statements The Leader ended the meeting and told them, 'Our next meeting will be at next Sunday same time. If you bring any recruits, Tell them they have to bring a parchment with their real name, their order name and their blood status on it. Duplicate your uniform and care their Identities are well hidden. If you have done your tasks, or you have questions contact me by earclip, If you do not know how, ask the person that has introduced you to the Order. Also, when you enter the Academy, I expect you to be in uniform. Meeting ended.'
Some members aparated, others walked out, and some stayed behind to read in the Library. Harry, or Lord Fulgor went back to the Headmaster Office to read in the books of Salazar. When dinnertime came, he went out of the Academy, pulled of his uniform in the Private Lab, of his Potions professor and went towards Hgwarts Great Hall to have lunch, and to not raise suspicion.
