Saiph

mini meeting

It was the day before our return to Hogwarts. I looked around the group gathered before me and deeply sighed. Among us sat Remus, Sirius, Tonks, Snape, Charlie, Hermione, and Bill. Hermione wanted to include Ron but feared he may relay the information to Harry. We agreed that Dumbeldore may have been right, since the boy was reckless.

"Siaph, tell us why were all here." Remus tries to get the conversation started.

I take a deep breath and run a hand nerviously through my curls. I look at them, not knowing where to begin.

"I don't know exactly where to start, but I do want to ask something. If you feel that you can't contain this information to yourself, please leave now." I was giving them an out. We couldn't afford for any more mistakes. We had a chance to get ahead of this and I wanted to seize the oppritunity.

Once nobody moved, Icontinue on. "I want to form an organization, within our organization." The group besides Hermione and Snape look at me confused.

"Care to elaborate?" Remus asks, now eyeing me suspiciously.

"I guess... I feel like we're pawns in Dumbeldore's scheme. I think he'll use anything he can to win the war, not caring about the destruction along the way." I say not knowing how to word what Iwanted to say.

"Siaph, may I?" hermione asks. I nod gratefully as the attention in the room is shifted toward her.

"Let's state the facts you may not know. There are dark objects, seemingly holding Voldemort's soul." An audible gasp comes from some at the mention of the name. Unfazed Hermione continues on, "these objects, I've been floating some ideas on how to destroy them. Dumbeldore has also been invovled in this but he didn't want me to know. He thinks I'm going to tell Harry but I agree with him on the fact that Harry musn't know."

"Why?" Tonks asks, now curious.

"Harry, he's reckless. He'd die instantly for us." Hermione says describing her best friend.

"I'm afraid Istill don't understand." Bill adds.

"Look, I think whatever happened the night to keep him alive, Harry became a dark object. So in order to defeat him..." she begins to feel the tears forming on her face.

"He has to die." Remus whispers, confirming Hermione's statement.

"We want to find a loophole, something that could give him, us, a fighting chance. I fear Dumbeldore may be power hungry. I'm unsure if you all are aware but Dumbeldore has a history of.. this." I say still unsure of the wording I'd needed.

"So in a nutshell.. what do you need from us?" Bill asks me.

"We want to share information within, playing it smarter. I'd rather have less death and more success. I'm not sure if that makes sense. He just seems to be using us." I say. I feel Charlie grabbing my hand giving it a small squeeze.

"Well what about you Sniv- Snape? Where do you stand on this?" Sirius asks looking at Snape.

"It's common knowledge that I've been a spy for Albus. I want Potter to live. I want the next generation to stand a chance ot live in a world without darkness." he says.

"Why? You hated James. Harry has to be a constant reminder of that." Sirius argues.

I see Snape maintain his composure as he looks at Sirius dangerously in the eye now.

"I have perosnal reasons. Siaph deserves this much? Don't you agree?" he asks now looking at me.

Sirius sits down in defeat, looking at me.

"Now, these dark objects, Regulus left a list. Dumbeldore is in possesion of this list. We don't want to overthrow him but rather work within ourselves to save as many people as we can." Hermione tells everyone.

"Well, of course when you word it like that, I have no choice but to agree with you." Bill tells Hermione. A murmur of agreeance is heard throughout the room.

"I think rather than hiding information we all need to be aware. How else can we use all the minds gathered? It makes no sense to me that he wouldn't inform everyone of the facts presented." I say now to the group.

Once we get everyonoe to agree, we decide to come up with some code word for needing meetings. Everyone dispersed left with thoughts of the newfound information.

"I hadn't known you'd held all of this on your own." Charlie says as Ilean against his chest.

"I'm sorry, if it just involved me, I would've told you." I tell him.

He nods. "I leave tomorrow, as do you."

I look down at our intertwined hands sadly. "Yeah."

"Want to spend the night in my room?" He offers.

Grinning I nod as he takes meup to his room.

_____________________

To tell you the night was amazing, would be an understatement. Charlie handed me a pair of pajamas and Bill had agreed to spend the night with Sirius. He sat on the bed, pulling the covers back for me to join him.

Snuggling in I lay on his chest. We talked most of the night about nothing and everything. Charlie told me that kids weren't really on his adgenda but if it happened with me he'd be okay with it. We talked about me joining him in Romania, upon graduation. It was a desicion I'd decided I was making, regardless of what everyone would say.

He'd told me he'd write me and keep me informed of what was going on with him. He agreed to talk to his boss, and get some position for me. He'd actually stayed in an apartment in Romania, which I hadn't known.

We eventually had fallen asleep snuggled together, forgetting that we had to seperate tomorrow.
