Chapter 4

It was a few days since Harry had sent that letter to Dumbledore asking about Professor Snape's health, he had gotten out of the Dursley's and was now residing at Number 12 Grimmauld place, or the noble house of black as the purebloods call the black estate. There was others there as well, but mainly order members going in and out with missions and things, Harry spent his time with Ron, Hermione and Ginny and sometimes with the twins when they were visiting and not working at their joke shop, which is a big success. It was Saturday and they were cleaning out the Art room. It was a tough job, they were doing it the muggle way considering they weren't allowed to use under age magic outside the walls of Hogwarts.

"I'm taking a break" said Ron as he through the wash cloth that he used for washing the floor into the bucket to the right of him. He fell to the ground in an exhausted heap. Everyone stopped what they were doing, and looked at the red head as if he were crazy.

"you can't be tired already, Ron" said Hermione as she gazed at her supposedly secret crush which wasn't really a secret since everyone can tell that Granger likes the boy, and the same goes for Ron the only people who didn't see this were themselves.

"Well I am" he said in a bored tone as he yawned and looked at the ceiling.

"But we just started ten minutes ago" said Ginny

"Well that's long enough, and it's a great time to take a break"

"You're a weird one Ron" said Harry

"Thanks for the compliment, mate"

"Ron that wasn't a compliment" stated Hermione as she rolled her eyes at him, Ron just rolled his eyes and ignored everyone around him and closed his eyes and soon he was passed out on a wet floor, the others rolled there eyes, that was Ron for you. The others set back to work on the room.

---Later that night---

The order members were crowded around the kitchen table, unknown to them they had a couple visitors outside the doors listening in with a device invented by the twins used for such occasions it was called the extendable ears.

"Everyone thank you for coming" he said he stared at everyone, while everyone was staring and paying abrupt attention. "I have some dire news, our spy has been found out" the whole room gasped.

"What happened" asked Shacklebot

"It seems that someone had told Voldemort of Severus' alliance with us, and for that he was severely punished"

"Is he ok?" asked the kind and gentle werewolf named Remus or to Severus, Lupin.

"He is fine he is recovering in the hospital wing as we speak" stated Albus, everyone around the table gave a sigh of relief, they may have thought Snape was a little harsh but that didn't mean they didn't care, only a select few got to see the real Severus and those were Albus, Minerva, Poppy. Remus could kind of remember Snape being nice sometime in his life but he just couldn't recall when.

"What do you suppose we do now?" asked Tonks, her hair changing color rapidly.

"We will do what we can, but other than that there is nothing we can do" said the headmaster his voice for once in his live projecting his age. There others stared solemnly down at the table, soon the meeting ended and everyone was headed to where they needed to be.

The kids that had been listening in on the meeting, had went to bed with heavy hearts, just because they thought that the potions master was a greasy git that practically haunted the dungeons and wants to make the lives of the student at Hogwarts hell, that didn't mean they didn't care, well Ginny, Hermione and Harry cared, Ron on the other had was happy he thought that Snape got what he disserved and this is the reason the others are no longer talking with him at the moment they are to angry.

The weeks passed and the others were talking again, the order were having trouble with Voldemort, but they managed, and soon summer was over and it was time to go back to Hogwarts, for another year.
