Mundungus FletcherIt took a while for everyone to get settled properly, Mikayla was bouncing her leg madly as her friends surrounded her trying to provide comfort to her, it wasn't working. She didn't expect half of the people here, she knew them all but never believed that she would see all her worlds collide. "Right, first. We need to decide who shall lead us in future prospects." Kingsley spoke loudly causing the whole room to quieten down, no one seemed to want nominate anyone. Mikayla took a deep breath, before she cleared her throat causing the room to turn towards. "Well... Moody has the most experience out of everyone else here in fighting Dark Wizards, knows how they think, so I'd like to nominate him to lead us."
Her words were followed by a few milliseconds of silence, before there was a murmur of agreement from others in the room. "I'll second it." Remus spoke up from across Mikayla, "alright, all in favour for Moody to lead us?" Kingsley asks and everyone raised their hands in agreement with the exception of Moody himself. "Do you accept Alastor?" Arthur asked from his seat, Moody gruffly got to his feet in front of the room and agreed to lead them. "First order of business, the youngens have been given jobs by Dumbledore. Potter is to keep his to himself, but Black has agreed to share hers. Gowan Black."
Mikayla didn't move from her seat, she didn't need to as she began the process of sharing a memory with the group. "You're not gonna like it." Mikayla warned them, she knew that the Order couldn't stop her either way because she agreed to it already, but she needed their support. "Be that as it may, Black, but these are Dumbledore's final orders and we must honour them." Moody responds on behalf of the rest of the room. All of their eyes glued to the growing orb appearing from Mikayla's hands, Dumbledore's voice breaking through.
"I want you to lead the order missions. You need to be the face of this rebellion against Voldemort." Dumbledore said, "But how do you expect me to do that?" Mikayla asked sounding absolutely exasperated, "by making as much noise as you can, you've always been good at getting people's attention. I need you to distract Voldemort and his followers as much as you can, make them focus on you instead of whatever Harry is up to, make yourself their biggest threat, be Harry's smoke screen." Dumbledore demanded as he got to his feet,"oh great, and how do you suggest that I distract Voldemort from his life goal of killing Harry? Mmh?!" Mikayla asks angrily. "Use your powers, use your connections, find out their plans and lead a team to stop whatever they're doing. The fact that neither the Imperius or Cruciatus work on you, well that's enough to strike fear in most of the lower ranked Death Eaters. Don't give them any other choice than to go after you."
The orb vanished, and the room was stilled into tense silence. Some were in disbelief that Dumbledore would put so much pressure on an underage witches shoulders. Others were fuming that Dumbledore had the nerve to ask so much of Mikayla after all the pain he caused her. But most were scared for the blonde, wanting to protest that Mikayla shouldn't have to fulfil her final quest sentenced by Dumbledore. However, those same people knew that Mikayla had already agreed to do it and there was nothing they could do to stop her, once her mind is made up.
"I did warn you that you weren't gonna like it..." Mikayla mumbled sitting back in her chair, praying that they would hurry up and move on from talking about her. "Right, well you aren't to start your mission until you are of age. It's too risky with you still having the trace. Can we all agree on that?" Moody asks the room, it seemed to be said in a rhetorical tone but he received some mumbles of confirmation that his decision is agreeable. "Very well. Do you have anything important to tell us now?" Mikayla was silent for a moment, trying to recall some of her nightmarish visions over the past few days.
"There's going to be another breakout from Azkaban in a few days, eleven lethal Death Eaters and the still imperiused Stan Stunpike." Mikayla answered him, that was the only one she could reveal at this very moment. She had to properly process the other visions because somethings have to happen for the future to pan out the way it's supposed to, and she has been giving the curse of making that choice. "What Death Eaters?" Alice asks, she sounded scared, not that Mikayla blamed her, Alice and Frank are the most at risk among them at the moment if they get found out.
"Malfoy, O'Brien, Avery, Mulciber, Crabbe, Macnair, Rookwood, Travers, Yaxley, and the Lestrange brothers." Mikayla lists out, feeling her friends tense at the mention of Fergal's name, but they remain silent. "Can we stop it?" Bill asks her and Mikayla shook her head no, "Dementors work for Voldemort now, if any of try to stop them escaping, we'll return without a soul." Mikayla warned and it seemed to be enough that no one argued against turning a blind eye to the Death Eaters escaping. Mikayla found she really hated that she was forced into accepting this responsibility of what is worth the risk of getting the Order involved.
"Right, I guess there's nothing else for us to discuss, everyone of age head out to the garden, and we'll start training. Black and Lupin, with me." Mikayla and Remus got to their feet and joined Moody's side as the rest of Order began making their way out of the house to practice duelling. "We're going to the Carra Estate." Moody told her gruffly, "why?" Mikayla asked still watching as the rest leave, "well Lupin and Tonks have revealed it's location to everyone they've invited to their wedding, we need to do a new Fidelius Charm on the property." Remus looked surprised that this was Moody's reasoning, "we only invited those in the Order." He argued but Moody just nodded his head stiffly.
"We'll discuss the matter further once we're away from prying ears." Moody responded, grabbing Mikayla by the elbow as she does have her Apparition license. "Wait-" Mikayla tried but her words were lost by an explosive crack as they disapparated from the Burrow's back room.
