Harry Potter's POV:
It was around 7 when we were all called downstairs. Ron, Fred, George, and I had been playing cards when Mrs. Weasley yelled for us to come to join the Order in the basement. With a loud crack, the twins had apparated, leaving me and Ron in the dust. When we stepped into the hallway a few minutes later, we were joined by Ginny and Hermione, and we all hurried down to the basement where the meetings were held. When we walked through the door, I noticed everyone seemed apathetic, making it extremely hard to read the emotion of the room. For a very long time everyone sat in silence while I tried to think of every possible reason we could be needed here. After what felt like an eternity, Dumbledore walked in.
"I apologize for my tardiness," he said calmly, "I was working out some details."
He took a seat at the head of the table and grabbed a scone from a plate.
"Alright, let's get on with it. I don't mean to keep you waiting any longer than I have to." He cleared his throat "On extremely short notice, a group of students from America are transferring to Hogwarts. They will stay here for the remainder of the summer."
"Transfer students?" asked Hermione "From what school?"
"They are from a summer camp. I don't know all the details yet, but I will pick them up tomorrow. If I am correct, there should be around 10 of them."
Mrs. Weasley cut in, "Children, if you could get some rooms ready that would be great."
We agreed and took off up the stairs to prepare for our visitors.
