Chapter 5: Plans
Hermione and Scarlet spent most of their days at Hogwarts reading in the library, planning the DADA lessons, and spending time outside. Scarlet had taken to teaching Hermione how to fly lately.
One early July day (the 15th to be exact), the two were called to the Headmaster's office. There they talked a little about the future. Scarlet and Hermione both talked about the Order of the Phoenix and how important it was to start it now. So Albus took their advice to heart and called together all of the witches and wizards that Hermione and Scarlet listed; excluding Sirius, Remus, Peter, James, Lily, Frank, Alice, Claudia, Tara, and a shy Ravenclaw named Monique who happened to be good friends with all eight, but not that close.
On July 20th the first meeting began. There were many in attendance. Among the faces that the two women recognized were Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody (who had yet to get his magical eye), Marlene McKinnon, Benjy Fenwick, Arabella Figg, Mundungus Fletcher, Dedalus Diggle, Elphias Doge, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Sturgis Podmore, and Rubeus Hagrid.
Some faces that they were introduced to were Rachelle and Harold Potter, Andromeda 'Andy' Black soon-to-be Tonks, Gideon and Fabian Prewett, and Frank Longbottom (current boyfriend to Alice and recent Gryffindor graduate). Everyone one was nice to them, not really sure what to make of the two. Also, Hermione was getting a lot of unwanted attention from the males in the room because of her Veela charm. She rolled her eyes and cursed every man that couldn't perform Occlumency correctly. Using her Legimency ability, she reached out and scanned everyone's minds to see if they were really spies. Seeing everyone loyal to the light, she nodded and Albus began to speak.
"Good evening everyone. I hope you have all been enjoying your holidays. Well, you all know about an evil wizard by the name of Lord Voldemort- several people gasped and shivered, Scarlet and Hermione rolled their eyes- has risen to power and is killing many people. Well, the time has come to fight back. If you all chose to, you will all become members of the Order of the Phoenix, an under ground society that I have formed in order to combat Voldemort- again, more gasps and shivers-. Well, I'll let Scarlet speak now."
Scarlet got up from where she stood, black hair swaying, blue eyes piercing everyone in the room. Making her way to the front to the Room of Requirements, she began to speak, "Hello everyone. My name is Scarlet Grey. I will be the Defense against the Dark Arts professor this year at Hogwarts. All though I did not go her I have heard about this school, being offered a place but I turned it down for reasons that will come to light later. The war is upon us. We must be ready to fight; we must be ready to defend out people. Voldemort will through us into chaos if we don't stand our ground.
"We have a Veela among us. She is powerful and has more powers than even she knows about. She is also my niece, Isadora Grey, call her Izzy. She will help us. Also, it is very important to stick together and never lose hope. If we do, then Voldemort wins. Oh come on people it's just a name. Anyway, as I was saying, we must be strong, together, we must love, together, and always, we must stay strong together for that is what will bring Voldemort down in the end."
Everyone clapped when Scarlet finished her speech. One person was very confused and that was Hermione. When Scarlet sat back down, Hermione asked, "Why did you change my name?"
"Well, we plan on getting your birth parents here in the Order so we mustn't give away your birth name."
"Oh, well, I guess that makes sense."
"Glad you see it my way," replied Scarlet. Hermione just stuck out her tongue.
Albus got back up to the front of the room and talked more about what the Order would do and if they were to join, what would be expected of them. The girls zoned out during this, having been the ones to tell Albus all he knew about the Order. When the meeting was over, they were all allowed to ask questions. Everyone, being very curious about what others had to ask and what the answers would be, all stayed seated to hear the question and answer session.
A young man who looked to be around twenty stood up. He said his name was John Stats, a half-blood Auror in the ministry, just out of Auror training. "Professor, how old is Izzy exactly, sir?"
"My dear boy, call me Albus, it's been three years since I have been your professor. Izzy is 16."
"Actually Albus, She's 17, turning 18 in September," said Scarlet.
"Well she is of age so it's alright. However, no children in school, apart from Izzy, will be allowed to join the Order. Once they graduate they may but not while they are in school for those concerned parents," Albus said looking pointedly at Rachelle and Harold who sighed in relief.
"Why is Miss Izzy Grey I the Order?" asked Alastor in his gruff voice.
"Because I have more powers than anyone in this room. Also, because the fate of the world partially rests on my shoulders. I will be the one to guide the chosen one when he/she is chosen, which won't be for at least three more years. Now, does anyone else want to ask questions about me because I would be more than happy to oblige," Hermione said in a quiet voice making people jump when she started to talk.
"My dear," said Rachelle, "My name is Rachelle Potter, please, call me Rachelle. This is my husband, Harold, call him Harold. Are your parents here?"
"Nope, it's just me and my aunt. Has been since I was four when they tried to drive home one day from their break in Province, at the time we were living in Nice. They had had too much firewhiskey and well they got into an accident and died on the spot. That's what happens when ignorant purebloods decide to try muggle stuff when they are drunk."
"Oh my dear, I'm so sorry," said Rachelle with tears in her eyes.
"It's ok, I don't really remember them anyway," said Hermione. That was a complete lie she just told but it was necessary. "Do you have any children? I couldn't help but notice the relieved look you had when Albus said that no children/ adults in school could be apart of the Order and had to wait till they graduated to join."
"Yes, I have one son. He is a seventh year and in Gryffindor. Are you going to Hogwarts?"
"Yes I am. I have yet to be sorted though," stated Hermione. This started a long discussion between Rachelle and Hermione who was still going by Izzy.
On the other side of the room, Harold and Scarlet were talking about the same thing.
"So, do you miss your brother and his wife?"
"Yes, very much. However, if they hadn't been drinking and driving, none of this would have ever happened. My brother had dark hair like mine, except he had brown eyes. His wife was full Veela so she was blonde with blue eyes, just like my niece. All of this happened in France. I was babysitting Izzy in their home in Nice; they were driving home from Province, completely smashed. The next thing we know, the Police have come to our home and informed us of their deaths. It was tragic. Izzy didn't eat properly for months. However, being four, she quickly got over it. That was over thirteen years ago. Wow, it's been so long."
"I'm sorry for your loss. Is Izzy going to Hogwarts?"
Snapping out of her 'mourning' face she replied, "Yes, she is. Our family hasn't been at Hogwarts in nearly 500 years. Her mothers' side went to Beauxbatons and her fathers and my side were all home schooled after one of our family members got expelled. I'm glad you and your wife will join the Order. Hopefully Izzy and I will see you at meeting. I have to help Izzy with all of the work that the other professors assigned. She already knows what classes she's taking and let me tell you, it's a lot."
"Well, I won't keep you anymore. It was nice talking to you."
"You, too!" Walking away from Harold, Scarlet felt really bad that Harry couldn't be here to meet his Grandparents. But if all went well, then he would have more than his grandparents to talk to. Smiling for herself, she went to Hermione and told her they had to leave.
The two women waved good-bye to everyone and headed out to their rooms.
"All of those that want to be in the Order raise your hand," said Minerva.
Everyone raised his or her hands. "Welcome to the Order of the Phoenix," said Albus.

The beach was a full out war. Once the boys had made themselves known, the girls didn't take too lightly to that and it started a prank war.
Although the girls were enjoying themselves, they would never admit it.
This had been going on for eleven days now and they were nowhere close to finding a winner. So, both teams met in the middle of beach to discuss.
"Alright ladies. Since there is no distinguished winner we will call a truce," stated James.
"Fine," said Lily "Let's all forget out school years and start a fresh. Lets play truth or dare!"
"Great idea Lily-Flower," said James.
'Lily-Flower' Lily mouthed to the other girls who just laughed.
"Alright ladies stop your giggling. I got the bubbley-bubbley!" Stated Sirius, pulling out seven bottles of firewhiskey.
"Well, it's a good thing we're all of age," Claudia muttered.
"Oh get a life Dia, it's summer!" said Tara, taking a firewhiskey bottle and taking sip.
"You know, champagne is bubbly not firewhiskey," stated Lily while taking her own bottle and uncorking it and taking a sip.
"Whatever," muttered Sirius taking a long draught from his bottle.
The game started up with simple and easy dares and easy, prissy truth questions. As more alcohol got into their systems, the dares got more outrageous and the truth questions became more personal.
"Lily, Truttth or Darrre," slurred Sirius efficiently starting a new round of the game after a pregnant silence.
"Dare," giggled Lily feeling bold. This was the fifth round. So far, Tara had to give Remus a strip tease, say her current crush (the Ravenclaw sex god, Joshua Marcos), when and who she lost her virginity to (fourth year with Jacob Miller who graduated from Gryffindor two years ago, he was a sixth year at the time), and make out with Alice for five minutes with tongues. Alice had to do a pole dance for Sirius (James transfigured a rock into a pole and back), say when and to whom she lost her virginity to (to Frank, obviously, in fifth year), when she had her first kiss and whom it was with (Frank and in third year), and kiss Remus for one minute. James had to make sex noises for a minute and a half, kiss Sirius with tongues for five, give Remus a lap dance, and give Tara a lap dance. Sirius had to make out with Remus for three minutes with tongues, kiss Lily for two minutes with tongues (James got really jealous), do a pole dance for all of the girls, and say who he lost his virginity and when (to Mara Ladenburg in her sixth year, his fourth, after the Halloween feast- Tara was a little put out that he lost his first-). Remus had to kiss Claudia's ass, run around the beach naked, say which girl he would rather have sex with between Narcissa Black and Jesse Mandela (a seventh year Slytherin who was rumored to be betrothed to Mitchell Parkinson- she looked like a pug- he chose Narcissa, much to Sirius' disgust), and write a love letter to Severus Snape. Claudia had to do a strip dance for the boys, pledge her undying love to a crab, say whom she would rather have sex with of the three boys in front of the girls (she said Remus), and say her most wildest sex fantasy and who it involved (Remus, chocolate sauce, and the beach was all she said). Lily (who was about to go) had already kissed James for thirty seconds without tongue (much to James' disappointment and Lily's joy), say who her first boyfriend was (Michael Mitch of Hufflepuff in second year), say when she lost her virginity (she still hadn't), and take her shirt and bra off.
"Alright Lily- hiccup- I dare you to have sex with Jamesies-poo." Everyone was silent. Lily chugged the last of her bottle, got up and pulled James to her room. Everyone whistled as they left.
