Part 6 : Fully Booked Grimmauld

   
A door slammed, a voice of cane hit the floor while a walking steps came closer. Igor Karkaroff, joining the order as he managed to turn against the Dark Lord. He greeted Albus and Alastor Madeye Moody, but the latter kept his guard up.
Remus went down stairs causing a very noosy creak sound, holding a punch of papers, and a chocolates like usual, crossing his way down and cursing under his breath;this become the house tradition lately.
    Alastor Moody took the papers from Remus as his eyes targeted the quaking ceilings and the stairs loud sound. He finally started to speak after all the attendees arrived.
    "Arthur, you will lead your boys team, you are enough to fill a department in the ministry I believe. Harry and the little O-fairies you will join Sirius. As for Remus and Neville, Tonks and Bill you will join me and Igor."
    He glanced at Igor with a threatening look, according to Sirius's advice, a death eater never stops being a death eater so he decided to stay close to him.
    He continued, "Potters, you will stay at this house without thinking to step away one inch out of it. If you expose yourselves, we're all screwed."
He studied the ceiling, the chandelier shaking at every move and the creaking of the stairs. Leaning towards the headmaster, he whispered,.
    "Dumbeldore, are you sure this house can withstand them all? 13 people including a large chicken on the third floor?"
    Dumbeldore whispered back, "It's the safest place."
    Madeye went back to the speech position giving a last instructions and warning,
"Now to all of you, this house is about two hundred years old, and you are a huge load to this fragile Structure. Don't use the stairs all together at once for god's sake!"

    Neville asked the life million dollar question,"But what if a fire breaks out?"
    Madeye far shout came as he left the dining table through the corridors.

"Consider jumping from the windows Longbottom!"

    Everyone was silence thinking about the shocking fact that they take turns to use the stairs. Hermione blushed at the idea of joining Sirius to his training team.
on the other side, Neville had hard times with the concept of "Igor and Madeye team" he will be dead by the next morning.
    Remus whispered to Madeye at the exit door, "Easy on the boy, you were a source of threat for him before."
Madeye huffed. "If the Dark Lord went easy then I will. It wasn't me who turn this boy's life to hell the previous years. He choses to be here he follow my instructions- constant vigilance."
     The members were dismissed. Ginny and Hermione had their own suite on the second floor. The Weaselys filled half of the rooms, except Percy and Bill with Fleur, who lived independently. The Potters took the extra living room and turned it into a chamber. Sirius went back to his childhood room insisted to keep Remus living with him in the same house, as he said he spent a quite long years alone.
Alastor Moody didn't live with them in the house because he had his own house, same as Neville he lived at his grandmother's house. Igor karkaroff took the third floor, side by side with Bukbeak and the werewolf Remus.

    The house was full indeed, like a pressurized soda can.
    And the tales of Grimmauld place started.
