Unexpected | Bill Weasley

~18~ Order of the Phoenix

Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred and George were sent to their rooms, as they were too young to be a part of the meetings.

"And don't bother trying to listen!" Mrs. Weasley said sternly.

Once they left, Dumbledore turned to us. "Now then, I would first like to thank all of you for joining the Order."

He went on into a small speech than started the meeting. He assigned tasks and missions for some people. Mundungus and I were to take turns watching over Harry, without him knowing.
I am a registered Animagus, and can turn myself into a cat, so it would be easy for me to spy on Harry without him seeing me.

During the meeting, Dumbledore told us about the secret weapon. The prophecy. It was what Voldemort was going after, and we had to protect it from him or anyone else getting it. The meeting finished and Dumbledore was about to leave when he turned back to us. "I must ask that you do not repeat a single word of these meetings to anyone else, not even the younger ones."

We all nodded. "Of course Sir."

He was about to leave when he stopped again. "You may tell them about your mission though Fawn, as long as they don't tell Harry."

And with that he left. Everyone left the house except for Lucas, Damon, Finley, Tonks, Sirius and Remus. We all lounged around the living room. It was almost one in the morning so we tried to stay quite. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley went upstairs to bed.

"I didn't know you were an Animagus!" Sirius said, turning towards me.

I shrugged. "It's not something I like to display too often, so that way people don't recognize me."

"Do you have an animal name?" Remus asked.

I shook my head. "No, never thought of it. Why?"

Sirius grinned and nodded towards Remus. "We do. So did James, Harry's dad."

I raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Remus here is Moony, James was Prongs and I'm Padfoot."

"Prongs?" I asked.

"He turned himself into a stag."

I nodded. "That's coo-"

Sirius cut me off by saying excitedly "Can I make a name for you?"

I chuckled. "Sure."

"Turn into a cat." he instructed. 

I obliged and turned into a black cat. Sirius looked at me and started rambling off names while everyone looked at him with amusement. Finally, his whole face lit up. "Oh I Know! How about 'Noctis Pede'"

I turned back into myself and thought for a moment. "That's actually pretty cute. That's Latin for Night Paw right?"

Remus nodded. "Yeah it is, I actually like that name. Not bad Snuffles."

Sirius groaned. "No! Forget about that nickname please, I beg you."

The next day, I had to spy on harry. I felt bad, because the poor boy would have no idea. But I knew it was for the best. After eating some breakfast and telling everyone goodbye, I walked out into the fresh summer morning. I turned on my heels and apparated. I apparated a couple blocks away from number Four Private drive, so that Harry doesn't hear the popping sound of Apparation.

I quickly turned into a black cat and trotted down the road. I found the house pretty quickly, seeing as Harry was laying down underneath the window sill. I wasn't sure why he was there so I crept closer and realized that he was listening to the news that was coming from inside the house.
