Harry Potter and the Blood Risen Moon (Completed)

Chapter 13: The Order

Hermione pulled back and looked at Harry, willing words to come out of her gaping mouth. She closed her black hole as lack of anything but morning breath came out. 'Knock' Harry looked to the door breaking their stare. "Who is it?" He asked hoping it was a little matter that didn't involve them leaving this spot.

Wishful thinking, "The Order has finally arrived and are waiting for Hermione to join them. They still don't know about you Harry." Ginny said through the door. Harry sighed and stood offering Hermione his hand to help her up. She stood and straightened her clothes. She swore they would finish this conversation once she could talk again.

Harry opened the door and smiled at Ginny. "Hey Harry. Perhaps you should wait until you announce to the Order that your back. None of them know what happened yesterday. All those that were in the fight were here in the house. Besides none of them remember what happened they were all out cold before you arrived anyway." Ginny said.

Harry nodded in agreement and allowed Hermione out first. He followed behind the two girls and waited at the bottom of the stairs where he could listen to what was being said.

"Ah, now that everyone is here we will begin." He recognized Mr. Weasly's voice as the kitchen grew quiet. "First thing first let's discuss what happened yesterday. As far as I know we drove off Voldemort. 15 of our own were injured and are recovering at Hogwarts. Does anyone know what Voldemort wanted?" He asked.

"Are you serious? He knows this is the whereabouts of the Order's headquarters. Why wouldn't he attack here and draw out and kill who ever he could." Draco said.

"I know, and he succeeded. Two of our own were killed yesterday. Died from their wounds. I was informed it was from the spell that Snape invented. So aside from Harry he is the only one who knows it. I would say it's safe to say that Snape was here yesterday." Molly said.

"Listen here, we need to focus on what we plan to do now that Voldemort is fighting public. We need to strike back." Madeye said.

"No. We need to find Harry Potter. Only he can save us. We must still focus on our search for him." He didn't recognize the voice.

"Gran, Harry wouldn't be able to do anything anyway. Vol…vol…de…he's to powerful. I've been their when Harry's fought him, he never got a scratch on him, but he always got hurt." Neville said.

Harry was confused. Neville always stood by him. A loyal ally. What had happened? "Listen up, we need to focus. Any ideas?" Mr. Weasly cut in.

Harry stepped around the corner, "I do."

The room was silent as they turned to him. Neville nearly fainted along with Molly and Neville's Grandmother. "Harry?" Mr. Weasly asked.

Harry nodded, "I'm back."

The room erupted in movement. Many came to hug him, others sat still in shock. Finally order was brought back to them. "SILENCE." Mr. Weasly yelled. The room quieted at once. "Let Harry speak. I'm sure he has a lot to tell us."

Harry nodded to Mr. Weasly and turned to the table full of Order members. "First off I'm sure your wondering where I have been. The truth is I have been working on a way to make Voldemort weaker. The first step has been taken. I was successful and here I stand. A lot happened during that time, it changed me. However, I'm stronger than ever and ready to lead the attack against Voldemort. First things first, I believe that we should remain hidden for the time being. At least until I have enough done of my quest that we can begin to attack back. We must focus on keeping our family and friends safe, along with our neighbors. Patrols should be established and out at night. Also, training of our members should begin. I know Tonks and Remus are wonderful at teaching combat magic. If the D.A. has fallen through the cracks, let's dig it out. I want all the members to be found and transported here. Hogwarts will remain safe haven for the wounded. Is all this clear?" Harry asked.

Everyone nodded, and at Harry's look began to bustle around at their orders. "Well it looks like you stepped right back into the flow of things. It's good to have you back Harry." Mr. Weasly said. Harry smiled and hugged him.

"Trust me, its good to be back." Harry said. The D.A. members that were there stepped up. Neville, Ron, Hermione, Luna and Ginny.

"So, what's our first order Harry?" Neville asked. Harry smiled at him and clapped his shoulder.

"You're all moving in. Tomorrow, training begins. My special brew. You'll be warriors before you know it. Also I want to begin the search as soon as possible. I'll be working on it while Tonks and Remus work with you. When everyone else gets here, I'll work with you so they can catch them all up. For today, just relax." Harry said. Neville eased up when he realized that Harry wasn't mad at him for what he said.

"Now if you'll excuse me I've got some work to do." Harry turned and headed upstairs to leave everyone to do their work. Hermione tried to catch him but he dashed up the stairs and locked himself up in his room. He'd rested for too long. It was time to get back to his research.

He sat at his desk and studied his wall. It hadn't been touched since he'd been gone. All his notes were still in the same place. All of his maps were still hanging on his wall, along with books surrounding his desk. He guessed they were afraid to touch it in case it messed with his coming back. Who knew if they were right or not?

He stared at his notes on the Horcrux's. He would need to go after one that wouldn't be close to Voldemort like his pet snake. He would begin his search for Hufflepuff's cup and hopefully find clues for Ravenclaw's item. So his next stop would be the Riddle house. He looked at maps and some of his other notes remember where he was in his studies before he was sucked away.

In his drawer he found his two wands and their holsters. He pulled them out and equipped them. Might as well where them all the time just in case. Of course he hadn't used magic for twenty years, did he even remember how? He'd fought with his body, using the combat moves that Tonks and Remus forced him to learn in case he was ever caught wandless. Sure did come in handy, in fact he was better at combat than combat casting by now. Hopefully he could get back into the swings of things. He would have to if he wanted his secret to remain secret. If Voldemort found out, it would be bloodshed, especially for him. Who knows what more weaknesses he would use against him?

Thankfully, everyone bought his lie today. Voldemort knew he was back and now so did the Order. He would have to wait to inform the rest of the world. He needed stealth to pull off his current mission. Find the remaining Horcrux's and destroy them.
