An Idea of Freedom

That night there was no party in the Gryffindor's common room. The students waited silently for news of James, and there wasn't one which didn't want Avery expulsion. Lily was inconsolable, and wouldn't leave Harry's arms.

"What if he dies?" she asked shockingly.

"Then we're done." Harry hugged her.

When the clock stroke midnight they gave up on news and went to bed. Harry got up the stair beside Sirius when he felt a sudden burn in his forehead, where he knew the scar was.

"Are you okay, kid?" Sirius asked, and Harry rubbed the place.

"Yes. Let's go, we have to sleep to visit James tomorrow."

Sirius agreed, and they all went to bed. Harry, exhausted for the day, slept almost instantly.

The boy couldn't tell when the nightmare started, or even if it was real. They were back on the game, and a green blaze crossed the sky.

"Go, Potter. Go and save your father."

Harry saw James fall from the broomstick, but there was no one to save him. Where's Sirius? James fell quickly, and Lily's screams echoed on the pinch. Harry thought she was trying to save him, but another call made him turn. A familiar call…

"HARRY!"

Harry woke up sweaty and shaking, gazing around. When he realized everything was fine, he moved and slept again.

The next morning none of them ate breakfast, they went straight to the Hospital Wing. They were welcomed by Madam Pomfrey, and stared happy at James, who was awake, though with a band on his read.

"Jim!" Lily sat beside him. James squeezed her hand.

"So, have you decided when we're going after Him?"

"You still want to?" Marlene asked surprised, and James raised his eyebrows.

"Of course. As soon as I'm free from here, we go."

"You're mad." Sirius laughed in relief.

James and Sirius laughed for a while, but Remus interrupted with an idea.

"You know, I think we alone can't do anything against Voldemort."

"And what do you propose? Give up?" Peter asked, and Remus shook his head.

"Oh course not! I agree with James, we shall do this… I was just thinking, if this 'Order' exists, we should, I dunno, form her now, don't you think? We can talk to Dumbledore, I'm sure he'll like!"

"Form the Order of the Phoenix?" Ron gasped.

"Yes. I can talk to Dumbledore if you go with me." Remus agreed excitedly. "And we met here."

"The Room of Requirement." said Ginny, Harry, Ron and Hermione at the same time. Luna giggled.

"Great! We're going back to the Army's time."

"Army? It's the D.A you told us, right Harry?" James asked, and Harry smiled.

"Yes, I didn't explain how it worked, right? The main goal was for us to have decent DADA classes, but now this is not necessary… Luna's right, I think if we use the Room, it'll be just like the Army's times.'

"I liked the Army." Neville commented shyly. "You taught me everything I know about dueling, Harry."

"Thanks." Harry said proudly, and exchanged a friendly look with James.

"So let's do it! I'd love to go with you, but the last time I rose to go to the bathroom Madam Pomfrey threatened me with St. Mungus, so I just have to stay…"

They all laughed, and Lily turned to them:

"I'll stay looking after him. Go to Dumbledore's office, will you?"

They left the Hospital Wing excited and headed to Dumbledore's office. The gargoyle was there as always, and Sirius said:

"Sorrel tart."

Remus then opened the door carefully. The headmaster looked confused with the number of students in his office on the very morning, but conjured chair for all of them.

"Professor, we need to speak with you." Harry announced, and Dumbledore stared at their determined faced from his half moon glasses.

"Oh, I'm curious to know what took so many Gryffindoors away from their rooms this morning."

"Professor, we found out they're sort of our… relatives." Remus said confusedly. Dumbledore smiled kindly to him.

"I thought this secret wouldn't be kept for much longer. I suppose you have been destroying horcruxes together, am I right?"

"Yes, sir."

"So, what's your idea?"

They all went silent, until Hermione burbled:

"W-We want to form the Order of the Phoenix. We know we're too young, but-"

"In times like ours, Miss Granger, I think you are perfectly able to enter the Order."

Hermione smiled as Dumbledore continued:

"I'll send letters to some old friends, and you will be warned as soon as I plan the first reunion."

"Yes, thanks, Professor." Ginny said, and Dumbledore put one finger over his lips.

"Call your closest friends. This is a secret, so just the ones that may be trusted."

"Yes, sir."

They ran from Dumbledore's office to the Hospital Wing, but when Harry opened the door, he closed it nervously.

"Come on, Harry! Open it, we need to enter." Marlene rolled her eyes, passing through him and opening the door herself. When she glanced inside, a malicious smile crossed her face, and she closed the door slowly behind her.

'I think we are interrupting something."

And silently she moved, letting James take off Lily's shirt alone.
